EMC news – During an era when Canada is hemorrhaging manufacturing jobs to Mexico, China and elsewhere, it makes for good news that a sizable employer in small-town Ontario can survive, let alone announce dozens of new jobs, a multi-million dollar expansion, and a significant grant from the federal government. But that happened at Pillar5 Pharma on Madawaska Boulevard – during a nasty snowstorm - last Friday afternoon. Stormy weather has been the metaphor used to describe the global economy since the 2008 meltdown. Even Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant used the term while at Pillar5 to announce the government’s up-to $2.5 million grant. Instability may be holding back private and public investors from spending money in many areas, but she’s confident

Arnprior’s pharmaceutical plant is a safe bet. “Canada has weathered the economic storm with lowered taxes and promoting free trade,” she said. “Investing in companies like Pillar5 will create high-quality jobs and long-term stability in Renfrew County, while supporting an important sector of Canada’s export economy.” Pillar5 produces eye-related over-thecounter and prescription pharmaceutical products for clients in Canada and around the world, in both liquid and pill form. The grant will go toward a $12-million project that will see the installation of a machine twice the size of the current one, thereby expanding the former Pfizer plant’s capacity for sterile ophthalmic manufacturing. Company officials don’t reveal precise products or client names, citing customer confidentiality.

EMC news – Renfrew County marathoners are alive, but shaken, after two bomb blasts left three people dead and about 140 others injured at Monday’s Boston Marathon. Arnprior residents Jes-

se Knockleby and Katie McColeman were among the more than 20,000 people, including 2,078 Canadians, registered to run the 117th edition of one of North America’s most prestigious road races. All Canadians have been deemed safe. In a message Tuesday,

Knockleby expressed his disbelief. “I am home now, safe and sound. I was well clear of the area when the tragic events occurred. I was very shocked to hear about this senseless act on the radio as I was driving home from the city. See ARNPRIOR, Page 9

EMC news – And the winners are. A long-time community volunteer, the Arnprior Communities in Bloom group, Dochart Farms and four successful local businesses were honoured April 11 at the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce’s ninth annual Business Achievement Awards and Gala Reception. A large crowd attended the dinner emceed by MyFM’s Laura Earl at the Nick Smith Centre. The Town of Arnprior changed its

DAY

award this year, leaving the business awards up to the chamber of commerce. Instead Mayor David Reid presented a new award to the town’s first Volunteer of the Year Don Derraugh for his many contributions to Seniors at Home, minor hockey, Communities in Bloom and Friends of the Grove. Reid said Arnprior is fortunate to have so many faithful volunteers and it’s was with a “heavy heart” that council had to only pick one for the award.

More jobs are promised for Arnprior. Drug manufacturer Pillar5 scored a major investment from the federal government to help its planned expansion. On hand during last Friday’s announcement are company officials Kevin Rampton, Jamie Moore, and John Carkner, along with local MP Cheryl Gallant. try, safety can not be understated. The sector itself is massive; within health care spending, it is the second largest area for spending by Canadian governments. Then there’s the company’s niche. To a company looking to contract manufacturing, it offers an in-house sterilization process. It also has a long history in at the current location, and has enjoyed drawing from a pool of highly educated and talented workers. Among the most important factors is the

company’s ability to do small-volume production. It is quick and responsive to the needs of the marketplace. 50 MORE WORKERS

The expansion will add another 50 wellpaid employees to the plant. That came as great news to Arnprior Mayor David Reid, who attended the event. “It’s a fabulous day for Pillar5 and a great day for Arnprior,� Reid said.

Continuing its tradition of recognizing businesses that “step up� on behalf of their community, McNab-Braeside presented its Business Appreciation Award to Robbins Confectionery and Agriculture Appreciation Award to the Hamilton family’s Dochart Farms.

The chamber presented its awards to the McCluskey family’s Tim Hortons (large business), MacPherson Plumbing and Heating (small business), Lorne’s Electric (chamber

Company CEO Kevin Rampton explained that once the upgrade is complete in two year’s time, production time and capacity will increase. “We’ll increase production by 50 per cent,� Rampton said. “Instead of us only doing two products, this will give us the ability to do 50.� The money comes from a branch of the government investing in southern Ontario, and was welcomed by Rampton and some of the 100 employees on hand for the announcement. “This contribution to our project from FedDev Ontario is essential to our strategy to bring leading edge technology to the production of highly valued sterile ophthalmic products,� he said. “We have the technical knowledge and the team to capture this opportunity, and this investment, together with our own commitment, will position Pillar5 to become a leader in this market.� It’s been a remarkable turnaround for the operation, which just a few short years ago found itself without an owner before local business leaders like Rampton, John Carkner and others stepped forward. Pillar5 has met and is now exceeds demand; hence the expansion. The company was also named large business of the year during last year’s Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce Awards gala. There are a number of reasons to feel confident in the Pillar5’s long-term viability in Arnprior. It has an impressive safety record, something not always attributable to companies in China and elsewhere with low wages and minimal regulations. In the highly competitive pharmaceuticals indus-

EMC news – A business that sponsors a host of teams, activities and good causes in the community and has fun doing it has received the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce’s Large Business Award (over 25 employees) for 2012. The McCluskey family, which operates the two Tim Hortons franchises in Arnprior, was presented with the award at the chamber’s awards gala April 11 at the Nick Smith Centre. Chamber past president Zillah Briscoe, who made the presentation said it was a difficult decision as several excellent candidates were nominated and all would have been worthy recipients. Briscoe told the crowd the success story that is Arnprior Tim Hortons began with a young couple, the McCluskeys from Pembroke, who both worked for Bell. Bonnie left Bell after seven years when they had their first child and Peter continued on with a 22-year career in a management position responsible for the Valley, which relocated them to Ottawa In December 1995, the McCluskeys moved to Arnprior with their two sons, Christopher and Ian, and bought the first house built by the Arnprior District High School Student Project. In January 1996, they opened the first Tim Hortons in Arnprior on White Lake Road. In July 1999, they expanded with a second Tim Hortons on Madawaska Boulevard and in September 2010 they purchased a Tim Hortons in Kanata. Briscoe listed an impressive number of contributions the family has made to the community. Annual Camp Day fundraising has allowed more than 64 children from Arnprior to attend the company’s camps, she said. The Smile Cookie program has raised funds for the Arnprior Hospital for 15 years, benefitting the emergency room and most recently the Partners in Caring campaign. Tim Hortons contributes weekly to the local food bank and also conducts an annual food bank drive, which in 2012 resulted in about 800 items being donated. Tim Hortons has sponsored local hockey, soccer, curling, lacrosse. T-Ball, figure skating and softball. It also annually funds free skates for adults and children during the Christmas holi-

days as well as free weekly swims for seniors. Briscoe said that the McCluskeys employ about 150 employees between the three Tim Hortons. They offer benefit programs, profitsharing, incentive programs and regular employee celebrations, she added. They offer a $1,000 annual scholarship to team members, their children or grandchildren who have shown community involvement and leadership. To quote Christopher: “All team members are considered to be one big family.” Peter McCluskey has served on the chamber of commerce for two terms, is the longest standing board director with L’Arche, and is a member of the Lions Club and Knights of Columbus. “Some of you may recall Peter’s stint as Big Joe Mufferaw,” said Briscoe. “Bernie Bedore said ‘we need a big guy with a good sense of humour’ and Peter was a perfect fit for the job.” He participated, dressed in full attire (hat, plaid shirt, boots, long pants) in different Valley parades and Canada Day events, said Briscoe. “His biggest feat was attempting to stay cool during those hot days and he accomplished that by packing ice packs under the clothing.” Christopher graduated from ADHS and completed his undergraduate at Ottawa University in business commerce and went on to complete his Masters in Entrepreneurship. While in high school, he organized the first Relay for Life in 2002 which raised $30,000. He is a director on the hospital foundation as well as a member of the Knights of Columbus. “Bonnie is the quiet, behind-the-scenes backbone for the McCluskey men,” said Briscoe. “She is a strong supporter of girl’s figure skating and contributes her assistance to Elta Watt and the fight against breast cancer.” She receives support from her son, Ian, who is her executive assistant. Ian did his co-op at the Tim Hortons in Arnprior, continues to assist with computer inputting for the business and is also a member of the Knights of Columbus. In accepting the award, Peter McCluskey said the success wouldn’t have been possible without their “wonderful” employees and managers. “We have a lot of fun here,” he added. “And we have the best customers in the world.”

MacPherson’s honoured as small business of the year John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – An Arnprior company that continues to impress its customers and expand its services after more than 40 years in operation has won the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce Small Business (under 25 employees) Award. MacPherson’s Plumbing and Heating, which has a strong record of community service, received the award April 11 at the chamber’s gala awards reception at the Nick Smith Centre. Prior to presenting the award to the company, the chamber’s Julie Brown provided a history of the business, telling the crowd that MacPherson’s was opened in 1970 by Gordon and Mona MacPherson on the corner of Daniel and Caruso streets in a little shop behind what is now known as Badham’s. Gordon and Roy McCormack did the plumbing while Mona ran the office. “MacPherson’s was started as a family venture and still to this day keeps the family values,” said Brown. Another long-time employee, Kathy McMahon, the current office manager, started with MacPherson’s in 1981, she noted. By 1984, MacPherson’s had outgrown the shop, so moved to their current location at the corner of Daniel and Elgin streets. At that time the large store was used strictly as a shop, but the added space allowed for transformation into the retail sector, with MacPherson’s opening a show room stocked with plumbing supplies including faucets and vanities.

About eight years ago, MacPherson’s was bought by Waldo Hordichuk. “Under new management the store kept its strong family values and continued to evolve,” said Brown. Four years ago heating and air conditioning, hot water heating systems, water treatment solutions, well pumps and pressure systems were added, she said. As a result, the staff has now grown to seven employees and two co-op students. Brown reported that MacPherson’s has added more items to the retail sector and has branched into renovation with a carpenter on staff and an electrician on stand-by. “They can now not only fix your plumbing but renovate your bathroom completely,” she said. She noted that MacPherson’s strives to keep up with the latest technology and products and continues to evolve while staying true to its roots. As well, “MacPherson’s holds a strong commitment to giving back to the community,” she said. “This year alone they donated to over 20 different causes and organizations, including Partners in Caring, Special Olympics and the Optimist Club, to name a few.” Brown quoted the business’s nominator as saying: “MacPherson’s is family-owned and operated, and with that, comes strong business values. Every effort is made to provide a friendly and stable work environment for all employees. “The employees are shown appreciation through kind acts amongst each other and business owners. The strength of the business is the direct result of the commitment and dedication

“For the past 40 years, you have depended on us and trusted us,” she said. “We hope that loyalty will stay for many years to come.”

Lorne’s Electric owners named Chamber members of year President’s award blooms for volunteers

John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – The owners of a business that prides itself in community involvement and supporting other businesses has been named Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce Member of the Year. Eric and Patricia Glahs of Lorne’s Electric were presented with the award April 11 at the chamber’s business achievement awards gala at the Nick Smith Centre. In announcing the winners, Chamber director Lynn Grinstead said they have continually supported the events of the chamber. Lorne’s Electric, which has been a thriving electrical contracting business in the area for over 50 years, “believes in supporting not only the chamber but other local businesses,” she said. Grinstead explained that Eric and Trish Glahs, who are Shawville natives, decided early on in their marriage that the family tobacco farm was not the life they wished. So after Eric’s apprenticeship and about six years of working side by side with Lorne Bretzlaff, they took ownership of the business in 1994, upon his retirement. A few years ago they moved the business to downtown Arnprior onto Madawaska Street, and renovated their facility, “creating a facade that truly enhances the streetscape of the area,” Grinstead said. Then about two years ago, they introduced another division of the company called CVtel, which “is Trish’s baby really.” As a result, they underwent another building renovation of their other facility on River Road, where “you can find the best selection of central vacs, shop and heavy duty vacs and home automation,” she added.

believers in keeping work within the community.” When their new buildings were constructed, 95 per cent of the trades and services were hired locally, and they went out of town only for things they couldn’t get here. In accepting the award, Eric Glahs said he enjoyed being a part of the membership of the chamber. “I really believe in it … and I like working with all the downtown businesses as well,” he said. Other nominees for the award were Mark Nibourg of the Kenwood Corporate Centre and Neil Slater of Home Hardware.

EMC news – Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce president Wes Schnob has chosen the Arnprior Communities in Bloom committee to be the recipient of the annual President’s Award. Schnob made the presentation to Louise Mulvihill, one of the founders of the organization that has achieved much in beautifying the town over the past dozen years. He said the committee, which consists of about 30 volunteers, is committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification through community involvement and the challenge of a national program, with focus on enhancing green spaces in the community. “Although Arnprior’s Communities in Bloom is responsible for planting and the maintenance of beautiful flowers in our downtown, the Madawaska Bridge and in our 13 parks, Betty Derraugh and chairperson Louise Mulvihill would tell you that Communities in Bloom is more than just flowers,” he said.

Communities in Bloom applauded for beautifying town Continued from Page 6

“It’s about pride and building on Arnprior’s strengths to help Arnprior grow to its full potential,” Schnob quoted Mulvihill and Derraugh as saying. Mulvihill started as chairperson for Communities in Bloom in 2000, the first year the town entered the provincial Communities in Bloom competition. When the judges visited in 2001, Arnprior received a proud 3 out of 5 blooms. Two years later Arnprior enter the same competition again and was given 4 out of 5 blooms and received the special Provincial Heritage Award from National Communities in Bloom. Schnob said that in 2004 Com-

munities in Bloom brought the town to the next level with flower planters and banners on the Madawaska bridge. Arnprior entered the Canadian Communities in Bloom competition and received an “outstanding” 3 out of 5 blooms. In 2005 Communities in Bloom partnered with the Happy Trails Committee to design the CN Trail between Daniel and John streets. A year later they entered the Schools in Bloom provincial competition, finishing second in the province. Fundraising events such as the Summer Garden Tour, Christmas House Tour and the popular Hens and Chicks night has helped raise over $15,000, which has been used

for projects such as the upgrading the lighting and the entrance to the Robert Simpson Park. In 2010 Communities in Bloom paid for the renewal of the path into Robert Simpson Park, which helped Arnprior be voted as one of the top 10 parks to visit in Ontario “Communities in Bloom is and has been a great asset to Arnprior,” said Schnob, saying the award goes to all its volunteers. In accepting the award on behalf of the committee, Mulvihill said the committee had a lot of help from council and the chamber in their beautification projects. She appealed for some new members to “come out and take over from us old broads.”

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Congratulations: honours deserved There were some obvious themes last Thursday at the Nick Smith Centre when the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual business achievement awards night. Family values. Customer service. Respect for employees. Community involvement. The speeches introducing the winners frequently brought up those characteristics. They are major reasons the business achievers who received the awards are so successful. Robbins Confectionery, MacPherson Plumbing and Heating, Lorne’s Electric and Arnprior Tim Hortons are all important contributors to local business and community life in this area. In Braeside, the Watson brothers at Robbins Confectionery stepped up when the village lost its post office. In Arnprior, MacPherson Plumbing has provided valuable jobs and trained many technicians thanks to its faithful support for the coop program at Arnprior District High School. Lorne’s Electric has lobbied for the rights of electricians in the face of increased provincial regulations, given work to local contractors when it expanded and brightened up its section of the downtown while providing a convenient, well-stocked meeting room for community groups in its premises. Tim Hortons sends local children to its sum-

mer camps and promotes exercise by funding free skates and swims. As well, the fun-loving staff at its two Arnprior locations make it an enjoyable place to socialize. All of the award-winning businesses support a host of local endeavours from sports and the arts to education and health care campaigns. The other three award-winners also do our communities proud. The Town of Arnprior has wisely left the presenting of business awards to the chamber of commerce and gave out a Volunteer of the Year award for the first time this year to a well-deserving all-round ‘good guy’ Don Derraugh. McNab-Braeside kept alive the tradition of honouring an agricultural enterprise by giving an award to Dochart Farms run by several generations of the Hamilton family. Good for the township – farmers and family ties are a large part of McNab-Braeside’s identity and what helps continue to make its land fair and its people strong. And speaking of making the land fair, Communities in Bloom was a much-deserving recipient of the Chamber President’s award. Congratulations to the bloom volunteers and all the recipients for making such major contributions to their communities.

LETTER

Galilee Centre anticipating help from OPP To the Editor: The Ontario Provincial Police’s 2013 Renfrew Detachment ‘Business Plan’ draft that was presented to the Arnprior Operations Committee (Chronicle-Guide, April 11) is very welcome news indeed. Being present and approachable is good policing and an increase in foot and bike patrols is an excellent way to build rapport and create relationships. I’d like to address two areas of concern that seems to be more highlighted in the spring of each year. I am referring to having dogs on leashes and starting fires. I work at the Galilee Retreat Centre and make it a point to walk through Gillies Grove and Galilee property to/ from work each day. I, also, check Galilee property several times a week. Galilee’s policy is to welcome all and only ask to respect our rules. We only ask that dog owners ‘stoop and scoop’ plus keep their dog on a leash. Also, we do not allow fires of any kind and that includes along our beach front. We have signage to that ef-

fect all around the property. Last year we had a terrible time with all of the above and numerous times we called OPP to complain, suggest foot patrols and asked them to speak to the culprits involved. I must say I was disappointed with the results of the OPP. I don’t want to dwell on the past and with the new OPP Business Plan released in Arnprior recently I have reason to feel more optimistic this spring. Galilee is a welcoming spiritual life centre that is an oasis of peace, care and comfort. We want to keep Galilee that way and keep it open to the public. We welcome foot and bike patrols and welcome officers to get to know our hospitable staff. As I said to one OPP officer last year, we will even offer you a cup of coffee. I look forward to this new relationship. Ken Mansfield, operations manager Galilee Centre Arnprior

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING TOWNSHIP OF McNAB/BRAESIDE

Arnprior runners Knockleby and McColeman safe but thoughts with victims Continued from front

In the matter of Sections 17, 22 and 34 of the Planning Act, the Township of McNab/Braeside hereby gives NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING: Public Meeting for applications to amend the Township of McNab/Braeside’s Official Plan and Zoning By-Law 2010-49.

“The Boston Marathon is truly an amazing event and I can’t believe it was targeted,” said Knockleby. “My thoughts are with the families of the victims. “The people of Boston were extremely welcoming and supportive during my visit, which made the event extra special.” Knockleby, a 35-year-old Canadian Forces member who lives in Arnprior with his wife Marcia Wilson Knockleby and four small children, completed the race and was on his way home when explosions at the finish line rocked Boston’s downtown. “We’re just happy he’s safe and sound and we’re certainly thinking of those families who might not have been so lucky,” said Marcia Monday evening. When the bombs exploded, Jesse was out of Boston and driving back towards home in Arnprior. When he learned of the situation, he was quick to let his family know he was alright. Marcia said she was, of course, relieved to learn Jesse was ok but upset to learn what had happened. “He pulled over and contacted me to let me know he was safe,” said Marcia, a teacher at A.J. Charbonneau Public School in Arnprior. Jesse is currently on parental leave, caring for the couple’s youngest child who is four months old. She still hadn’t spoken to him Monday night, but they had corresponded by email. She was a little worried about challenges her husband might face crossing the border but was expecting him home late Monday or the early morning hours of Tuesday. Jesse’s goal for this year was just to qualify for the Boston Marathon and while the time he logged was not a personal best it was a thrill for him to be involved. “He was excited just to qualify and participate,” said Marcia. Katie McColeman of Arnprior was also participating in the marathon and was listed as safe and accounted for. Stewart Campbell, a former Renfrew resident who now lives in Pembroke, celebrated his 55th birthday by completing the race. Campbell finished his 25th marathon in 3 hours, 11 minutes. But about an hour later one of his Pembroke running colleagues, Bob Bobeldijk, 76, was within about 300 metres of the finish line where the first bomb exploded. CLOSE CALL

Bobeldijk kept on running, but 10 seconds later a second bomb went off, closer to him, and security people rushed onto the course and prevented any runners from continuing. Earlier in the race, Bobeldijk stopped to use one of the race course portable washrooms, which Campbell surmises may have saved his life. Most worrisome for Bobeldijk was that he knew his wife Arpick was waiting for him near the finish line. It was only when they found each other, and embraced, that he was able to relax. “Everyone (of my friends here) was worried because they knew I would come in about this time,” he said. “It was emotional to see each other alive.” Bobeldijk also emailed his daughter in Pembroke and son in Vancouver to let them know he was okay. “I’m just devastated,” said Campbell. “It’s changed the whole marathoning scene. I was hoping to go to New York for the marathon this fall, but now there’s going to be dog sniffers everywhere.” He was also hoping to run his 10th Boston Marathon next year, but now time will tell what organizers are thinking about the future of this and many other international events. Renfrew resident Colleen Berry, who has run four Boston Marathons, was not in Boston this week, but has wondered for years if something like this might actually happen. “Every year I’ve stood at the start of the Boston Marathon for the national anthem and wondered if something could happen with thousands of people in the same place,” said Berry. “I was always praying, ‘Don’t let something like 9/11 happen.”

Subject Lands

Part of Lots 16 & 17, Concession A(12), (geographic Township of McNab), Township of McNab/Braeside, located on Usborne Street (County Rd No. 3), as shown on the attached Key Map.

Public Meeting

A public meeting to inform the public of the proposed official plan and zoning amendments will be held on May 6 from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. at Our Lady Perpetual Help Parish, located at 88 Dochart St., Braeside. The meeting may be continued, if necessary, on May 7, and May 9, from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. at the same location.

Process

In accordance with the Planning Act, members of the public will be given an opportunity to make representa tions to council in respect of the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments. Members of the public will be provided with 3 minutes to make their representations. Experts who pre-register with the Township of McNab/Braeside with their qualifications, will be provided with 15 minutes to make their representations. The representations at the public meeting will be based on a first come, first serve basis.

Proposed Official Plan Amendment Purpose and Effect of the Official Plan Amendment - The entire 132.7 Ha (328 ac) Miller property is designated Mineral Aggregate. This designation permits a quarry and associated manufacturing uses. The purpose of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to permit an asphalt plant for permanent use on a specific portion of the property. The proposed Official Plan amendment would implement a site-specific Mineral Aggregate-Exception One designation on approximately 4.5 Ha (11 ac) of the subject property to permit a permanent asphalt plant as an additional use.

The proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment is to permit the expansion of the licensed area of the existing quarry and to permit an asphalt manufacturing plant as an additional use on a specific portion of the property. The proposed amendment affects only the lands beyond the existing licence and EM zone. This is about 103 Ha (254 acre) of the total Miller property. The proposed zoning amendment would rezone the property from Extractive Industrial Reserve (EMR) to Extractive Industrial (EM), Extractive Industrial-Exception One (EM-E1) and Extractive Industrial Reserve-Exception One (EMR-E1). The proposed EM Zone will permit an expansion of the existing quarry in an expanded area of approximately 79 Ha (195 ac) hectares of land. The EM-E1 Zone will permit an asphalt manufacturing plant on approximately 4.5 Ha (11 ac) of the expanded quarry. The proposed EMRE1 Zone will limit approximately 24 Ha (59 ac) of the property to the conservation of wildlife in natural conditions. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of McNab/ Braeside before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Township of McNab/Braeside, to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Complexities of the Social Jungle: How we anchor children towards growing resilience. We can probably all recall moments of namecalling, hurt feelings, cliques, instances of feeling left out and situations with peers that left ups devastated. Indeed, the playground can be a very wounding place. For parents and teachers alike, supporting children to navigate social problems and difficult situations requires a delicate balance of deciding when to step back so that natural lessons and resilience can unfold, and when to intervene because the situation is simply bigger than the child. Presentation will consider essential information for parents and teachers regarding the social lives of children. Discuss how to support children in social problem-solving and growing resilience in the face of their busting through our door (home or classroom), upset over something that happened at recess.

EMC events - Students from Fellowes, Arnprior, Jeanne Lajoie and General Panet high schools will be testing their environmental smarts at the Ontario Envirothon Regional Competition to be held this year for the first time at Shaw Woods. This is the sixth year for the regional Envirothon where students are trained in four environmental areas: wildlife, forestry, soils and water. They then they compete one week later by responding to a real-life problem where they must apply the skills that they have learned. They are also tested in each of the four environmental areas. Nicole MacDonald will be this year’s feature presenter for the Renfrew County Envirothon. She is a Master of Science candidate at Trent University, investigating two grassland bird species, the Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark. As native grasslands disappeared, agricultural lands (hayfields and pastures) increased, providing breeding habitat for grassland-dependent wildlife, particularly grassland birds. As hayfields and pastures serve as the primary breeding habitat for grassland birds, exposure to frequent disturbances due to agricultural operations

Envirothon feature presenter Nicole MacDonald is studying threatened grassland birds. have negatively impacted the populations, leading to a widespread decline of grassland birds across North America. These declines have led the Bobolink and the Eastern Meadowlark, to be listed as threatened at provincial and federal levels. MacDonald’s research will provide insight into the breeding and behavioural ecology

of these grassland birds in Ontario. By working co-operatively with local farmers, she hopes to provide a more robust understanding of the association between agricultural practices and population monitoring necessary for the conservation of these threatened grassland birds. Her research makes her an ideal resource person for this year’s environmental topic: Grasslands. Workshops are scheduled for participating high schools on April 23 and our county competition will occur one week later, on April 30. In previous years it has been held at Logos Land. There will be no sitebased provincial competition this year. However, registered schools will be competing on-line to determine a provincial winner. Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre has received $50,000.00 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to help start up its development and delivery of curriculum-based programs for Renfrew County students. The centre will be holding its recognition event on the Envirothon

Competition day, April 30. For more information, visit http://rcseduprog.blogspot.ca/ or call Envirothon co-ordinator Gérard Boyer at 613-757-1445. You can also visit shawwoods. ca.

EMC news – Renfrew OPP report an ipad and several ipods were stolen from a home on Harriet Street in Arnprior last week. The daytime theft was reported on Tuesday April 9. There was no sign of forced entry. OPP Constable Raul Pasta-Junior is investigating. Police are also investigating the theft of jewelry, a camera and cash from a home on Thomson Road in Horton IMPAIRED CHARGE

An Ottawa man is facing impaired driving charges after being stopped on Highway 17 in McNaB-Braeside about 1:30 a.m. The 23-year-old driver was given breath tests at the OPP detachment and charged with impaired driving and driving over 80 mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on May 15. Const. Chris Colton investigated.

DOMESTIC DISPUTES

Renfrew OPP officers responded to seven domestic disputes during the past week. One man was arrested and charged with choking and assault. LOCK IT OR LOSE IT

Residents continue to be victimized by people stealing valuables from vehicles under the cover of darkness. Several items were reported stolen including wallets, loose change and keys. With the nicer weather here, criminals will be out and about after dark looking for easy targets, warn police. A few simple things will discourage them from picking your vehicle to steal from. 1. Remove valuables from your vehicle overnight. 2. Lock your vehicle when not in use. Follow those two simple rules and you may avoid the headache of having to replace your identification.

OPP targeting distracted drivers EMC news – The (OPP) is holding a distracted driving campaign this week (April 15-22) and they are looking to the public to help make it a historic success. As part of the campaign, the OPP is asking drivers across Ontario to take a hard line on distracted driving once and for all by making Monday a life-long commitment to keep all hand-held devices out of reach and out of use while behind the wheel. Those who use hand-held phones while driving also put the lives of their passengers at risk and the OPP is asking passengers to take matters into their own hands by telling those who drive them while distracted to “put down the phone and leave it alone.” While texting is among the most dangerous activities to carry out while driving, distracted driving refers to all forms of distracted or inattentive driving, such as talking on the phone, eating and drinking, personal grooming and tending to children in the backseat, stress the OPP. During the campaign, officers are targeting these and any other forms of distraction they observe as impairing a motorist’s driving ability.

“Drivers need to remember that the real danger to the motoring public lies in the distraction, not the device,” said Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division. “In 2012, 83 people were killed in motor vehicle collisions within OPP jurisdiction in which distracted driving was a causal factor and that surpassed our impaired driving fatalities in 2012,” he added. According to the OPP, officers laid close to 16,000 distracted driving charges across the province last year. They continue to see careless drivers texting and talking on their phones and engaging in other forms of distraction every day. The OPP is asking Ontarians to share their stories on Facebook about the dangerous driver behaviour or nearmisses they have observed from motorists driving distracted. By doing so, you can help drivers think about their own driving habits and how they are contributing to dangerous behaviour. Go to https://www.facebook.com/ontarioprovincialpolice.

River levels info available, danger on the upswing EMC news – Residents along the Ottawa River can obtain up-to-date information on the levels and flows of the river during the spring freshet through a toll-free, 24-hour automated telephone service and website that provides advance warning of flood risks. The service covers the entire Ottawa River basin from Lake Timiskaming down to Carillon and is maintained during the entire freshet period and for as long as flood risks are present along the river’s edge. During the spring runoff, the Regulating Committee takes all possible actions to limit the amount of flooding and continuously monitors conditions at all points along the river. Residents can obtain current information on Ottawa River levels by calling 1-800-778-1246 to receive an English message and 1-800-7781243 for a message in French. This information is also available on the internet at http://www. ottawariver.ca/. Information is given for levels at Lake Timiskaming, Mattawa, Pembroke, Lake Coulonge, Chats Lake, Ottawa (Britannia), Gatineau (Hull wharf), Grenville and Maniwaki. The website has been redesigned and provides extensive information such as a three-day forecast and information on water levels and discharges for major reservoirs in the system. The Ottawa River Regulating Committee, which co-ordinates the service, consists of the following agencies that operate dams in the

Ottawa River system: Public Works and Government Services Canada, Ontario Power Generation, Hydro-Québec and the Ministère du Développement durable de l’Environnement, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec.

Local Liberals elect new riding president Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

EMC news - Ryan Lunney can’t be accused of having a one-track focus. He has a passion for music and volleyball, while the content of his Bachelor of Arts in religion completed at the University of Toronto in 2008 suggests other interests, since his minors were chemistry and Italian studies. “I read a lot, but that’s also part of what spurred my interest in politics,” said Lunney, the 27-year-old banker and one of three children of Bill and Gail Lunney of Renfrew. Recently acclaimed president of the federal Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Liberal Riding Association, he assumed the position at the association’s annual meeting in Eganville this week. Also acclaimed were vicepresident Ian Kuehl of Pembroke, treasurer Rob Jamieson and communications chair Meredith CaplanJamieson. Jamieson, who works as a senior director for the Liberal Party of Can-

Ryan Lunney ada, says he’s excited about the new blood brought by younger-generation Liberals such as Lunney and Kuehl. “I like that he’s going to bring the drive to get to (the election of) 2015,” said Jamieson of the new president. “He’s also a good team motivator, to be sure, and he gets the new meth-

ods of communication, with Facebook and social media. To organize as a movement, this is how you do it and this is how people are now talking in the Ottawa Valley. Ryan gets all of that.” Lunney is also president for a riding association that is spearheading a new organizational structure whose focus is on decentralization and more citizen participation. With the help of the national Liberal party’s focus on creating supporters (who don’t have to become party members), participation in the party is up, says Jamieson. The new organizational structure has been a work in process since last summer. “We talked about how we were doing things, and we weren’t out in the riding,” admitted Lunney, who lives in Ottawa, but calls Renfrew home. “The party, at the national level, has been talking about renewal, about opening its doors to new ideas, about how we can better represent and better serve Canadians. And you know what, it’s a really good time for

us (in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke) to do the same. The theme that kept coming out for us is that we want to keep it local.” So, no more parachute candidates? “I really can’t speak to that,” he replies. “I wasn’t part of the last nomination at all, and we shall see. I think the leadership (race) will have an impact on that too, depending on who wins,” added Lunney. Before Sunday’s convention, he correctly predicted Justin Trudeau, son of former Canadian prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, would win because he’s by far the most popular candidate. Lunney was the riding captain for Trudeau during the campaign that helped generate more than 127,000 registered online voters. Meanwhile, he says the primary and immediate concern of the riding association isn’t to defeat MP Cheryl Gallant. “That’s not really what our motivation is,” replied Lunney. “It’s about getting the Liberal Party back into people’s minds, and hopefully hearts, and that we’re an option for them.”

An open attitude will also be characteristic of the way the local riding association works, says Lunney, admitting it was too closed door before. Lunney says the muzzling by Prime Minister Stephen Harper of his own caucus has shown how difficult it is for local issues to be heard. Step one for the local riding association is to build the local Liberal Party’s base of volunteers. Step two is to deliver on issues and get answers for the riding’s citizens when questions arise. “It’s not glamorous work, but it’s necessary,” said Lunney.Step three is preparation to win an election. As new president, Lunney says he brings youthful energy. “Our new model is in many ways more activist … and about talking to people. That requires lots of energy and that’s what I think I’ll primarily bring. “We have a plan, and now it needs to be delivered, and I think I’m really capable to handle the reins of it, and see it through to completion.” Lunney succeeds Tom Adamchick as president.

Oppose loss of CN rail, TPR urges port Pontiac-Renfrew. It is time for the Renfrew county warden, the local MP and MPP, and the mayors of Pembroke, Laurentian Valley and Whitewater Region to meet with CN representatives to prevail upon them to postpone the ripping out of the rails in Renfrew county until 2014, says TPR. “This temporary delay will allow for Renfrew County entrepreneurs to save this valuable economic development tool. No railway means lost jobs, lost growth and lost business. It also means more highway trafďŹ c and higher gas emissions. “If not stopped, a critical piece of business infrastructure will be ripped from the County. Industries planning to reopen will fail to do so and businesses in the planning stage will die.â€? As an organization working to save the line, TPR says it is urging immediate action by the people of Renfrew County. This action can take the form of contact with local councils, county councillors, MP and MPP. People should also consider contacting CN directly, says TPR.

EMC news – First it was the CPR line up the Ottawa Valley. Now CN is following suit, tearing up tracks along a rail line that many had hoped could have been saved to transport goods, tourists and commuters west from Ottawa. In a news release April 10, Transport Pontiac-Renfrew (TPR), which has Arnprior’s former mayor Terry Gibeau as one of its main spokesmen, sounded the alarm, reporting “the destruction of the Beachburg sub rail line is underway.� The release said rails are being “ripped up beginning in the City of Pembroke and will continue to the Quebec border, where Pontiac County has taken steps to protect its rail.� The plan is to remove the rails and use them in other areas of Ontario or Canada, maintains TPR. “If no action is taken immediately, the Beachburg Sub in Renfrew County will be gone by the middle of April. The disappearance of rail will preclude the reopening of the ATC plant and destroy many economic development opportunities in Renfrew County,� warns Trans-

EMC news – A store and family that stepped up when Braeside was in danger of losing its post office has received the Township of McNab-Braeside’s Business Appreciation Award. Mayor Mary Campbell presented the award to Peter and David Watson, owners of Robbins Confectionery, at the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce Business Achievement awards banquet April 11. She noted the Braeside Post Office, after being closed for two years, has reopened in the store, just the latest in the many extra services the store has provided BraesideMcNab residents. The Watsons have continually supported and sponsored many activities in the township, she added. The Watsons, in turn, credit council, their many friends, and village residents for bringing back the Braeside Post Office. “It would never have happened without everyone’s encouragement and support,” they say. The store has always been a family business playing a major role in providing services and a communications network for the rural area, said Campbell, noting the Watsons, who will be celebrating their 25th year in business next spring, are just the latest family to serve the community from its premises. The original store opened July 1, 1954. The Braeside house and store, with gas pumps, was built and run by Cecil and Amelia Rafter and their children Brian, Donna and Gary. They served the Village of Braeside until 1970 supplying fuel, and groceries. Donna Rafter and her husband Mike Chateauvert, who also sold Allouette snow machines, ran the store till 1975.

SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Mayor Mary Campbell presented the township business to Peter and David Watson, owners of Robbins Confectionery For the next year it was run by Dave Whalen and family and then bought in 1976 by Howard and Lois Robbins, who changed the name to Robbins Confectionery. For 13 years the Robbins ran the store, adding to the grocery line and building an addition doubling its size. During part of this period it was also a Vehicle Licence Bureau. In 1989 the Watsons, life-long residents of the village, took over, keeping the Robbins name. Over the years Robbins Confectionery has employed many local residents and students as many as three to five at any given time, noted Campbell. As well as providing local jobs, the Watsons are pleased to have sponsored, played for, and coached several local baseball and hockey teams over the years. The Braeside

Start Packing... You’re Moving!

Carnival, the Braeside Cup, and the Village’s July 1st celebrations are also proudly attended and supported by them, Campbell added. The grocery line has expanded over the years and the store has continued to grow, serving the community with groceries, confectioneries, lottery tickets, cold meats, ice, gasoline, diesel, propane and now postal services. “Thanks for stepping up (to fill) that real important need (post office),” Campbell told the Watsons. “Robbins Confectionery made certain we didn’t lose an important part of our community. “That’s how communities thrive … if there’s a need someone is always stepping up.”

Long-time farming family celebrated for contributions to rural life EMC news – A farm that has been in the Hamilton family for five generations has been honoured with McNab-Braeside’s Agriculture Appreciation Award. Dochart Farms received the award April 11 at the ninth annual Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards banquet. Township mayor Mary Campbell said that like Robbins Confectionery taking on the post office, the Hamiltons have also stepped up when there were community needs. If it wasn’t for the Hamiltons, the Calabogie Snowmobile Club and the township wouldn’t have the recreational trails that so many enjoy, she said. “When there’s hard work to be done, the Hamilton family has always stepped up,” she added. The current patriarch, Dave Hamilton, is the fourth generation working the farm. He has a son, the fifth generation, active in the operation, and member of the sixth generation could grow up to be involved as well. Dochart Farms has a long history of raising cattle and horses, as well as mixed farming. Cash cropping needs to be done on a large scale, noted Campbell. “It’s a big operation.” Dave Hamilton provided Campbell with a history of the farm, which she shared with the crowd before presenting the award. It was an enlightening look back into the past and showed how hard farmers worked to make a living.

Dave’s grandfather, Andrew, who was born in 1886, had dairy cattle and milked till he was 70. He also worked winters in the shanties and continued doing what he could on the farm until his passing in 1979. Dave’s father, Tom, worked his entire life on the farm. As well, in his early teen years he hauled wood to the wood yards in Arnprior, and worked with teams of horses hauling gravel during construction of what became the TransCanada Highway. In the early 1950s when Dave’s brother, Drew, became old enough to get involved in showing cattle as a 4-H member, Tom bought his first pure-bred polled Herford cow. It was the first of many prize Herefords. That was the beginning of Dochart Farms and Dochart Polled Herefords. Over the next 40 years, Drew raised Polled Pure Bred Herefords, won many prizes at the farm shows and had top selling bulls at the performance sales throughout the province. He was always involved in the farm and worked on and off depending on where his other jobs took me. “I always had interest but did not become full time until the last few years before my father Tom’s passing in 1998,” he related. “In those years, we (his three sons Trevor Andrew and Chris) would plant corn and sunflowers in the spring and then head for Dawson City in the Yukon, and gold mine for the summer, and return in the fall to combine the corn and sunflowers.” Dave’s wife, Clare, would look after things

She made note of developments in the past year that included a partnership with the Ottawa International Writers’ Festival and the launch of adult programming. “More than 400 people walk through the doors each day to access a variety of services, including books, computers, meeting spaces, entertainment, social programming, social contact and more,� said DeLuca.

Computer training, e-books, a recent spring series that featured Canadian blues guitar icon Jack de Keyzer, and partnerships with a host of local organizations are all part of what’s going on at the library, said DeLuca. There are 1,434 McNab-Braeside adult cards issued, making up for 30 per cent of the circulation while 404 township children make up five per cent of circulation. Total circulation is 5,394. Active membership numbers are based on a card used within the past two years and the patron database is purged quarterly. Three of the library’s homebound service participants are from McNab-Braeside. McNab-Braeside representatives on the library board include Daniel Q. Smith, Susan Gillan and Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie. The library is financed through provincial grants and some Town of Arnprior and township funding. The library has been giving quarterly presentations to M-B council since the fall of 2012 in an effort to increase dialogue and provide a foundation to future service contracts. The mayor praised the library and its staff. “My compliments on your expanding programs,� said Campbell. “You’re a constant source of innovation.�

Arnprior grows, risk for fire too Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news – A growing trend indicates there are greater losses due to fire than in past years, warns Arnprior fire chief John Okum. Firefighting and prevention is changing, Okum told the inaugural meeting of Arnprior town council’s operations committee meeting on April 2. That results in a higher demand on the fire department. Contents in modern homes contribute to the intensity of a structure fire making it harder to put out and resulting in greater losses, Okum explained. More and more of the stuff is manufactured from man-made materials such as plastics, veneers and synthetics and when exposed to fire these household products burn rapidly, producing extremely toxic gases. These gases accelerate a fire causing a condition known as a “flashover,” where everything in a room will instantaneously burn and this can happen within minutes from a fire occurring, said Okum. “Floors in homes are failing between three and five minutes under fire conditions,” he added. “They are failing before the fire department even leaves the station.” From the time a phone call is placed to the firefighters arriving on scene, the average response time is seven minutes. This amount can fluctuated between two minutes and 15 minutes, depending on staff availability, weather conditions and time of day. Firefighters use their own vehicles to get to the station and are not allowed to break speeding laws. They are equipped with a flashing green dashboard light. “We ask the community that if you see a volunteer firefighter with a flashing green light that you be courteous, if it is safe to do so, to move over and allow them to continue to the emergency,” said Okum. New building lots have less room between each other. If one house catches fire, there is a chance that neighboring homes will also be damaged. Typically the department receivesd and answers an average of 130 calls each year and five per cent of them are fires. There are fewer firefighter volunteers and response can also vary widely as firefighters are all voluntary. “If there is an incident that the fire department responds to, there could be one firefighter

responding or there could be 30 firefighters,” said Okum. “We don’t know.” They have more commitments than ever before. “Personal lives are busier,” he added. “There are more activities. Kids are involved in hockey, in ball, in dance and I can list 20 different things that my staff say they are busy with their families.” There are two full-time fire prevention officers working during typical office hours at the fire station. They act as volunteer firefighters during their off time. Their primary concern is to educate people on how to reduce fires, enforce the fire code and conduction inspections. Smoke detectors and fire prevention have become incredibly important to saving lives. So much so, that the department is legally obliged to inspect homes for this lifesaving device. By law, large fines can be laid on people who do not comply. However, the Arnprior department is taking a softer approach and will sell smoke alarms to non-compliant home owners, said Okum. Comparatively to previous decades, residents demands higher quality services and demand more of them. As such, firefighters will respond to variety types of calls from regular fires to car accidents to water rescues to public assistance. “We don’t respond to cats in trees,” confirmed Okum. To help with some of these tasks, the department has purchased a new vehicle to add to its aging fleet. It is currently being built, designed with Arnprior’s specific needs in mind. It will be compliant with all standards and will be equipped with a modern compressed air-foam system. This method helps preserve property by reducing the amount of water needed to extinguish the blaze by 99 per cent. “It’s a newer technology,” said Okum. “It’s not brand new, it’s been out for a couple years but it’s not widely accepted in Canada yet.” Town council currently does not have a list of approved core services that the fire department must offer. To amend this issue, Okum will present the council with a defining bylaw in the near future. “We feel that we will better serve the department and the town,” said Okum. For now the department uses sound judgment when responding to calls.

Dochart Farms also got into the hay marketing south of the border and for the years of cheaper American fuel and the high U.S. dollar ran two transports south, delivering hay bales mostly along the eastern states from Maine to North Carolina but some loads went as far as Tennessee and Florida. That business fell off when the Canadian dollar rose to near par with the U.S and American fuel costs rose. “We now do mostly cash crop, wheat, soybeans and corn,� Dave said, adding that “this year we are becoming a little more adventuresome and are trying a couple of new crops, and are planning on seeding some land down to forage as the demand seems to

Day of Pink confronts bullies EMC news - Last year, the Ontario government passed historic anti-bullying legislation, but the issue of bullying, and its traumatic consequences, remains a daily concern in the lives of too many people. To help spread awareness of the problem, schools across Canada, including Arnprior District High School, participated in the International Day of Pink. April 10. It is an annual day of awareness for communities around the world to celebrate diversity and challenge bullying in all its forms, including homophobic and transphobic bullying. “Bullying, intimidation, prejudice and discrimination are toxins that affect us all. When we allow members of any community to be marginalized and dehumanized, we contribute to a hidden form of violence,� said Ontario Federation of Labour secretary-treasurer Nancy Hutchison. “Bullying can only thrive in the shadows. Each of us must expose injustice and acknowledge our responsibility to take action to defend the rights of all people, regardless of race, gender, age, abilities, sexual orientation, or gender identity.� The Day of Pink got its start in Nova Scotia when two straight high school students saw a gay student wearing a pink shirt being bullied. The two students intervened, but wanted to do more to prevent homophobic and transphobic bullying. They decided to wear pink shirts in solidarity with their classmate and, a few days later, got everyone at school to share in this expression of support by wearing pink to class. By creating a “sea of pink� in their school, the students helped to trigger an international movement to challenge homophobic and transphobic bullying in schools. Since then, the Day of Pink has continued to spread to schools and workSIDNEY ROSS places around the world and has drawn attention to the tragic Anna Collins is another student amongst many at Arnprior impact of bullying and related teen suicides.

Derraugh named town’s Volunteer of Year John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

R0012036893

EMC news – A long-time community activist has been named the Town of Arnprior’s first Volunteer of the Year. A man of many volunteer hats, Don Derraugh received the award, and a standing ovation, at the ninth annual Business Achievement awards banquet hosted by the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce April 11. Arnprior Mayor David Reid said that Derraugh is an active volunteer for the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home (which nominated him), Communities in Bloom and Friends of the Grove, as well as regularly entertaining on the fiddle at seniors gatherings. The former teacher also volunteered with Arnprior minor hockey for many years and has helped out at many of the major tournaments the town has hosted over the years. “Arnprior is very lucky as it has a tremendous group of volunteers,” Derraugh told the crowd after receiving his award. “This volunteer appreciation award honours all volunteers in Arnprior, not just me.” Reid explained that council appreciates the significant contributions of time and talent volunteers make and has been celebrating it with an annual volunteers’ appreciation night. However, late last year, council decided to take it a step further and initiate the Volunteer of the Year award in recognition of an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the Town of Arnprior through their volunteer work. The call for nominations resulted in a large number of names of volunteers who give freely of their time

unteers committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification, with a focus on enhancing green spaces in our community (Communities in Bloom received the Chamber president’s award later on in the program).” Reid pointed out that Derraugh is also a member of the Friends of the Grove Committee and takes great pride in the beautification efforts that have recently enhanced the Gillies Grove entrance. “I want to note that I was a neighbor of Don and Betty’s for many years and witnessed first-hand the pride and hard work the entire Derraugh family put into the care of not only their own home, but indeed our entire neighborhood of Old Orchard Estates,” said Reid.

to organizations such as the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital, Arnprior Food Bank, Grove Nursing Home, Seniors at Home, the Fountain, Arnprior and District Museum and countless others, Reid said. It was difficult to choose one individual from so many worthy candidates, he added. However, Derraugh’s long and varied volunteer contributions made him a worthy choice, Reid said. “Don is a valued volunteer of the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program, supporting the services of this organization, that encourages independent living and enhances the quality of life for our seniors and individuals with special needs. For many years Don has been volunteering his time as a driver, which is instrumental in transporting residents to their out-of-town medical appointments and to other intown destinations. “And, we know that these residents are in safe hands, as Don voluntarily taught drivers education throughout his teaching career at Arnprior District High School.”

Derraugh also coached minor hockey for many years, is a local hockey scout and continues to counsel young athletes seeking a career in professional sports, said the mayor. He noted that Derraugh’s dedication to hockey has been passed to his

son, Doug, who guided the Cornell women’s hockey team to their fourth consecutive regular-season title this year and earned the league’s Coach of the Year Award. An avid sports enthusiast, Derraugh was instrumental in running a summer hockey league in Arnprior and volunteered when the world junior and world women’s hockey tournaments were held in Ottawa. As

well, he has volunteered with several Renfrew County Senior Games and dragon boat festivals. He also helped when International Plowing Matches were held in Pembroke, Navan and Carleton Place. “Don doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty,” said Reid. “He, along with his wife Betty, have been volunteering for 12 years assisting Communities in Bloom, a group of vol-

“In summary, the many hats that Don wears as a volunteer has contributed greatly in making Arnprior a wonderful place to live and call home.” Derraugh also received a plaque of recognition from Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. Reid said it is fitting the town presents the prestigious award in advance of National Volunteer Week, April 21-27, and at the chamber’s business awards night and gala reception that helps promote and celebrate the fact volunteers are the heart of the community. “Our businesses rely on the strength of our volunteers to grow and enhance our programs and services, to help build a vibrant and healthy community, and to advocate for this great town, which we call home,” he said.

Old organ, hymns are familiar and comforting just about nil, and the possibility of getting the instrument tuned was just as remote. The woman who sat on the little swivel stool every Sunday, played for the satisfaction it gave her and other than a few words of praise from the minister at the Strawberry Social in the summer that was all the pay she got. The organ looked like it had gone through the war! And when I was very young, sitting right behind it, I often thought a ghost lived in it, because for a few seconds after the last note was played, there was a wheezing sound come out of it, like someone drawing his last breath. There was a single row of plugs that looked like spools of thread, and even from a distance, I could see printing on them. These “plugs” often seemed to confuse the organist, who would push and pull at them, which created more wheezing, or no sound at all. One Sunday, in her frustration, she pulled and pushed the same “plug” and the whole thing came out in her hand. She simply placed it on top of the organ, and there didnʼt seem to be a whit of difference in the sound, even without the missing thing. I noticed it sat on top of the organ for weeks, before someone removed S, ARNPRIOR it, and it was never replaced or seen again. The yawning hole where it had once been remained as long as we went to the Lutheran church. The foot pedals held a special fascination for me. There were two side by side. At one time they were covered in

EMC lifestyle - The organist at the Lutheran church did her best. But when Aunt Lizzie came from Regina on her yearly visit, she never failed to comment on how the old organ needed a tuning. She once added, “maybe what is needed is a new organist.” Well, the chance of getting anyone to replace the organist out there in Northcote was

tapestry, but they had worn away to the perfect shape of the organistʼs black laced shoes, which told me she had been playing for longer than I was alive! I thought: she must be very old indeed. Just like the organ. Since there was no other place to put them, at special services, bouquets of flowers sat on a little round disc on the side of the organ. My older and wiser sister Audrey said that was where a lamp was placed if there was something going on in the church at night, so the organist could see the keys. Flowers were placed there at Easter and at Christmas time, and I used to think it would be nice if someone brought flowers every week. But, of course, that would never do for a staid and sober congregation like the Lutherans at Northcote. We hardly ever saw the face of the organist. Her back was to the pews, and I often spent most of the service trying to count the number of big grey hairpins that held the fat bun at the back of her head. The bun hid her neck, and one Sunday I got the giggles, which I had trouble controlling when I thought her head looked like a turnip sitting on a narrow cloth-covered shelf. Audrey had to give me a few pokes with her finger to get me to sober up. We never knew if there was going to be a

choir. It didnʼt seem to be organized to the point where you could expect to see the same faces every Sunday, even though once a week, there was supposed to be choir practice. Who showed up on those nights depended on other events going on in the community which were considered more important. We could always count on one dedicated soul who never failed to sit in the very middle of the little row of straight-backed chairs on the small platform at the front of the church. She often drowned out the organist, and one Sunday she was singing one hymn while the organist was playing something entirely different. Both went on doing their own thing, as the minister sat in the big high backed velvet chair with is eyes closed, rubbing his forehead. My sister Audrey had a lovely voice, but she was very shy about singing alone. She had no trouble at the Northcote School when we belted out ʻGod Save the Kingʼ every morning, but singing in church was a different kettle of fish. When she was ordered by Mother to do so, her knees shook like a bowl of jelly, sitting beside me in our pew. But when she got the first three or four notes out, she sang like a bird. I would look around the church and the people as if to say, “thatʼs my sister, you know.” The old organ, the organist who never missed a Sunday as long as we lived in Northcote, the familiar hymns, the voices raised in praise, and the tattered hymn books all created a warm and comfortable feeling deep in my heart. Like the neighbours around us, always there when a hand was needed, the sounds of the organ and the voices raised in praise, gave me a safe feeling, enabling me to shut out all else around me, and on Sunday, even the Depression seemed remote and far away.

ADHS students step up to ensure class of 2013 will have a prom Sydney Ross Co-op Student

JAKE DAVIES

In the background of an almost full library, ADHS librarian Donalda Stevens and principal Neil Farmer give Renfrew County public school board superintendent of corporate services Lisa Schimmens, instructional technology leader Steve Blok and IT manager Roger Chenier a tour of the learning commons equipment provided through a pilot project. Many students are taking advantage of the notebook laptops available to them through the program.

Learning commons hit with local students

to send to other classmates. The committee has also organized a car rally for only the senior students to participate in, which will take place in May. The finalized date for the prom is Saturday, June 15 at the Nick Smith Centre. The committee has arranged for the prom to have a buffet with lots of refreshments, a DJ, and decorations with a classy and elegant vibe. The prom committee has been also looking for businesses to sponsor its efforts. SPONSORS NEEDED

If your business would like to contact the committee, if you have any questions or you would like to sponsor them, e-mail arnpriorprom2013@gmail.com. This year’s prom can be successful with the public’s help and kindness as the prom committee is working hard to avoid any earlier mishaps.

The mobile cars can charge up to 30 notebook laptops at one time. The delegation started at ADHS and moved west visiting RCI and FHS Library Commons. “It’s definitely busier here now,” said ADHS librarian Donalda Stevens. “It’s not the quiet setting you remember from 20 years ago.” The school’s library was full of roughly 40 students working on notebook computers, sitting at new tables, chairs and couches working in groups and independently. One history class was using the commons to research a project while many other students were using the area on their own time as well. It’s a different feel for some, but it’s been positive for us,” said principal Neil Farmer. At RCI, principal Alanna Emon said she is proud to be part of the pilot project. “The concept is amazing,” she said. “It makes so much more sense than lab rooms.” Emon said she has noticed an increase in use during class time.

EMC news - A Renfrew County District School Board pilot project putting 21st century technology in students’ hands, and providing a comfortable place to use it has been a hit at four Renfrew County high schools. Arnprior District High School, Fellowes High School, Renfrew Collegiate Institute and Madawaska Valley District High School received new technology and funding for furniture to create a space for students known as a learning commons. Schools were provided with one SMART Board (interactive white board technology) package including a desk-top computer, speakers and a webcam; a mobile lab – a mobile, charging cart containing 30 notebook computers (11.6-inch screen, WiFi, 4 GB ram); and funding to purchase new furniture. The equipment and furniture was to be placed in a convenient, accessible space for students so they could freely sign out the technology and use it in a comfortable setting. The pilot project allowed the four schools to create a Learning Commons identified as “a flexible and responsive approach to helping schools focus on learning collaboratively,” says an school board information and communication technology committee report. A school’s library provides the natural dynamics for a place that is a vibrant, whole-school approach presenting exciting opportunities for collaboration among teachers, teacher-librarians and students. On Friday, April 5, a delegation including Renfrew County public school board superintendent of corporate services Lisa Schimmens, instructional technology leader Steve Blok, IT manager Roger Chenier and network co-ordinator David Priebe took a road tour to see firsthand how the pilot project is working.

EMC news - Word spread around quickly amongst the Arnprior District High School student body that the class of 2013 would not be having a prom this year. “So much work was put into last year’s prom, kids taking Fridays off to help decorate … to leaving two and a half hours early,” said principal Neil Farmer. “The staff decided to take a break this year.” On that note, students quickly responded. A Facebook group was created for the senior class only to discuss plans about a student-organized Prom. At the beginning, arguments between classmates occurred over Facebook with disagreements about where the prom would be held. But Grade 12 students Hilary Lalonde and Bethany Rampton, along with other committee members, stepped up to create a new group to take

over planning of the prom. “The class of 2013 is a strong, talented group of students who have worked very hard to get to this point in our lives.” said Rampton. “High school is coming to an end for us and soon we will be going our separate ways, moving on to bigger and better things. We are a diverse group of friends who have gone through so much together over the past few years, including the recent passing of our dear friend and classmate, Lisa Roesler.” The committee has contacted Shay Klimpel, an event planner from ‘Event 22’, to help contribute to the prom’s planning. “This year’s prom committee is doing our best to give the deserving graduates of 2013 a night that will never be forgotten,” Rampton said. The prom committee has informed the senior students of fundraising in support of the prom. On Valentine’s Day, the committee sold CandyGrams for students for purchase and

www.cherylgallant.com Just before Parliament rose for the Easter constituency weeks four bills received Royal Assent. The First Nations Financial Transparency Act is something that First Nation communities have long demanded. Like all Canadians, First Nations Peoples deserve accountability and transparency from their leadership. Until this law was passed, First Nation governments operating under the Indian Act were the only level of government in Canada that is not obligated to make basic financial information public. First Nation community members called for enhanced financial accountability and transparency. The legislation will ensure community members have access to basic financial information such as audited financial statements, and the salaries and expenses of chief and council. The Financial Literacy Leader Act provides for the appointment of a Financial Literacy Leader (FLL) within the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) to strengthen the financial literacy of Canadians. It sets out the duties, powers and functions of the Financial Literacy Leader to enable him or her to carry out these activities, and builds our ongoing initiatives to protect consumers.

St. Lawrence Islands National Park has been renamed Thousand Islands National Park of Canada. The change allows for more effective advertising and will help people better identify where the park is located. It will attract more national and international travelers to the area, which will boost the local economy. The efforts of Leeds-Grenville M.P. Gord Brown, who says the name change movement was not new, led the effort to make this possible. It was recognized in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s that the name should be changed to better reflect the park’s location.

Financial decision-making is highly complex due to the variety of financial services and tools currently available to Canadian families. It is important to have access to clear and transparent information to make informed financial decisions. Now our Government will proceed with the selection and appointment of an FLL, who will exercise national leadership to strengthen the financial literacy of all Canadians. The FLL’s mandate will be to collaborate and coordinate activities with stakeholders to contribute to and support initiatives that strengthen the financial literacy of Canadians.

Local group promotes Parkinson’s awareness EMC lifestyle - Parkinson Society Ottawa’s Arnprior Support Group held an awareness event April 10 at the Arnprior Public Library with the goal to educate and encourage discussion about Parkinson’s disease. Local physician Dr. J. Becker spoke to the group about ‘Cognitive Loss and the Decision to Stop Driving’. “Support groups and community education are an integral part of the management of any chronic disease, as these illnesses affect whole families,” he said. “Understanding the disease process helps patients to be advocates for their care, and the support of others has a great impact on quality of life.” The support group also announced that the Town of Arnprior has proclaimed April as Parkinson’s Awareness month. “We are thrilled to have had April proclaimed as Parkinson’s Awareness Month in the town of Arnprior,” said Dennise Taylor-Gilhen, CEO

of the Parkinson Society Ottawa. “Thank you so much to Mayor David Reid and council for their acknowledgement and support.” The goal of the Arnprior Support Group is to provide information, resources and support to people living with Parkinson’s and their care partners. It welcomes members who have lived with Parkinson’s for many years, and those who are newly diagnosed. The group is making a difference in several ways, including education sessions, access to resource materials and personal support for individual challenges. Parkinson Society Ottawa, incorporated in 1978, is a registered Canadian charity and a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s and their families in Eastern Ontario. It is a regional partner of Parkinson Society Canada. For more information, visit http://www.parkinsons.ca.

Health care workers to qualify for student loan help EMC lifestyle – Arnprior is among the communities included in a program to help recruit family doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and family medicine residents new to the profession. In more than 4,200 rural communities across Canada, including Arnprior and Renfrew, the health care workers can now apply for Canada Student Loan forgiveness. “By offering Canada Stu-

dent Loan forgiveness, we’re doing our part to encourage health care professionals to serve Canadians in rural and remote communities where they are needed to improve access to primary care,” said federal Human Resources and Skills Development Minister Diane Finley. Student loan forgiveness is available for up to five years for work in designated communities, which are communities with an urban

core population of less than 50 000, outside of provincial capitals. Employment must have started on or after July 1, 2011. The initiative applies to the federal portion of Canada Student Loans. Applications and information are available on CanLearn.ca. Applications are available now on CanLearn.ca. Applicants can determine whether a community is designated by using the postal code look-up.

JENNA RECLINING SOFA

EMC events - One of the world’s greatest and most enduring story, not read but told, as Homer intended it, will be presented at the Neat Coffee Shop in Burnstown. Jan Andrews, Gail Anglin, Jennifer Cayley and Ellis Lynn Duschenes will offer Homer’s Odyssey this Saturday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. Everything’s there – all the power of high endeavour. The roaring seas on the journey to the island; the memories of the terrible war; the Cyclops looming in the cave entrance; the men turned into pigs by the enchantress Circe; the battle of homecoming; the tender reunion with a loyal wife. For almost 20 years, the four Ottawa storytellers have been telling parts of Homer’s Odyssey. They have come back to the epic repeatedly, knowing that it will always be one of the greatest stories ever told. Now, they bring their love of the masterpiece here to Burnstown – the last show in the 2012-2013 season of fine storytelling for adults presented by 2 women productions (2wp.ca). For them, the performance is always an adventure. “What I love about The Odyssey is the sense of everlasting humanness,” Andrews says. “For me, it’s the excitement,” adds Cayley. “All that intrigue,” Anglin puts in. “The fierceness and the gentleness of the man,” says Duschenes.. Set down in the eighth century BC before even kings had literacy, The Odyssey was always meant to be transmitted through the human voice. The four 2wp tellers work in awareness of this. They know how to take the text and bring it to life. Over and over they have been told how the story takes on new vibrancy and meaning through the teller’s art. They cannot perform The Odyssey in full. That would take 14 hours. They do, however,

of Canadian weddings EMC lifestyle - The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum has several remarkable wedding dresses tucked away in its collection. When the museum’s curator attended a local fashion show that featured only wedding dresses, inspiration struck, and a new exhibit was born. A unique selection of gowns, representing the decades from the 1860s to present day, is featured in ‘150 Years of Canadian Weddings’, which will be at the museum through to May 18. Rev. Heather Kinkaid owns the earliest dress in the collection, a brown two-piece ensemble from 1865, which is in remarkable condition. Another highlight is the Rosamond family wedding veil and dress, worn by several generations of brides from the family that originally owned the woollen mill, which now houses the museum. A beautiful hand-made dress, circa 1900, was never worn, the groom leaving for the west when his future bride was too ill with the measles to meet him at the altar. Although most of the dresses in the exhibit are delicate shades of white, there are some very attractive coloured styles, representing the more practical decades of the ‘30s and ‘40s. A stunning dress from the ‘50s was worn again in the ‘80s by the daughter of the original bride. The beautiful bouquets enhancing the display have

Heritage Radio gears up for fundraising drive Lucy Hass lucy,hass@metroland.com

LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Jason Marshall is the new station manager at Valley Heritage Radio, which is gearing up for its annual fundraising drive April 19 to 28. Marshall is proud of the station’s diverse musical offerings, from classic country and folk to rock and bluegrass. are now 40 years old and part of another generation’s rich musical heritage. Marshall also enjoys that he can be driving home and hear Kyle Felhaver from White Lake, then someone from Pembroke, then someone from Eganville. “We’re here to be able to help and cultivate local talent, too,� he says. He is especially proud of the station’s commitment to local and live music, best displayed through its Live Kitchen Party Saturdays from 1 to 2 p.m. on the station’s Thomas Cavanaugh stage. In fact, major renovations are underway to make the station on Burnstown Road in Horton Township even more user-friendy and accessible for public gatherings. “I love it because no matter whatR0012036789

ever your taste and whatever your flavour in music, Valley Heritage Radio has it,� Marshall says. And he’s not kidding. The station boasts an impressive wall of albums, eight-tracks, cassettes and CDs that caught his immediate attention. “It just blew my mind and I asked, how many songs do we have here?� He learned that while commercial stations generally carry a library of 1,000 to 2,000 songs, Valley Heritage Radio has about 50,000. Equally impressive are the people spinning those tunes. “The volunteers who come

The station also has a very vibrant Facebook site. “There’s potential there to grow it,� Marshall says of social media and the station’s dedicated listenership. The station has more than 1,800 members and maintaining that support is vital to the station’s very existence. Thus the importance of its 10-day fundraising drive that starts this Friday. And Marshall couldn’t be happier to be part of the team behind that effort. “For me, personally, it’s such a perfect fit,� says Marshall of his new job. “Our whole focus is on community; that’s the exciting part about it. I’m so at the right place for me, at the right time.� The station’s fundraising campaign wraps up with a Round-up Dance Sunday, April 28 from 1 to 7 p.m. at the Renfrew Armouries. The six-hour showcase will feature Douglas Connection, Dennis Harrington and Heritage Country, The Countrymen, and a tribute to Stompin’ Tom Connors by Garry Patrois. The doors open at noon. Tickets are $15 for non-members and $12 for members and can be purchased at the radio station and at the door. Light lunch will be served. For more information, call 613432-9873 or 1-888-532-9870.

EMC events - His Master’s Voice – the iconic image of terrier Nipper looking into an Edison Bell phonograph – is a famous image associated with heritage music worldwide. In Renfrew County, a new image has emerged as the face of heritage music – the turquoise hat of CJHR Valley Heritage Radio. The not-for-profit radio station at 98.7 FM kicks off its annual fundraising campaign April 19 – 10 days featuring old-country, fiddle and gospel nights, a telethon, and a Roundup Dance Sunday, April 28 at the Renfrew Armouries. And there will be a new face at this year’s party – that of new station manager, Jason Marshall of White Lake. It’s only fitting that Marshall finds himself sitting in his new office, listening to Mac Beattie’s This Ottawa Valley of Mine. Because this is a homecoming of sorts for the man who has spent his entire working life in the media. After falling victim to downsizing in the newspaper business, Marshall was directed by his brother to a job advertisement identifying knowledge and understanding of Ottawa Valley culture as an asset. “I thought, you know, this might be right up my alley,� Marshall says. “I was really excited. It means a lot to me to be home, back in the Valley, because it’s a special place to be.� While the station has a handful of talented paid on-air personalities, the station’s real strength is its strong team of volunteers. “There are 100-plus volunteers from all over the Valley and the Pontiac that keep this place running and that keep us out in the public eye,� Marshall says. And out in public is where Marshall is most comfortable. Early in his new job he spent time at the Ottawa Valley Farm Show, then joined the St. Patrick’s parade in Douglas that he described as “fabulous.� Marshall says he has always favoured community newspapers because they’re more in touch with their communities and more close-knit. He has found the same spirit at Valley Heritage Radio. “When you come here it’s like being part of a big family,� he says. “I thought it would be a big transition,� he says of the switch from print to radio. But not so. “The way you get the message out is different – one is spoken and one is written – but what doesn’t change is the community and being involved in the community,� he says. “We’re here to educate and to entertain but we’re also here to help. We’re part of the community, and that’s what I love.� That and the music. “There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t think, holy smokes, I haven’t heard that song in a long time.� The memories are fond ones, often rooted in what some might call his parents’ music. But even the ‘newer’ 1970s songs

in are just so passionate about the music,� says Marshall of the volunteer deejays. “Where else can you find old country, fiddle, easy listening, a little bit of rock, 50/60s rock, blues, bluegrass? Whatever your taste in music, you can find it on the dial at 98.7 FM,� he says, The station is a place where the public is welcomed to drop by and visit, and song requests are common.“What the people in this community want dictates what we have on the air. When all the dust settles, the most important thing is the music that we’re playing,� he says. As for the station’s appeal, Marshall says its name explains it best. “Right in the name of the station – Valley Heritage – are two things that are so important to the people of the Ottawa Valley,� he says. The first is pride in home, proclaiming, “I’m an Ottawa Valley person.’ The second is pride in heritage, exemplified in so much of its programming, like its Saturday morning Kaszebe offering. And thanks to technology, anyone with a computer can listen to Heritage Radio live online from anywhere in the world. In fact, listeners have been tracked tuning in from as far away as the Phillipines.

Our thanks to Dr. Michael Dolan, for his wonderful care over the years and we are so very grateful to the nursing staff of Almonte General Hospital for their kindness and outstanding care. We appreciate all the support provided by CCAC and the caring Red Cross Homecare staff, most especially Betty, Kathy and Nancy... kind, caring, dedicated only begin to describe these very special people.

Deborah Coady for the eulogy... memories, thoughts, words from the heart.

DEATH NOTICE

An Amazing Everyday Life On March 14th, my aunt Catherine Jessie (Kay) McNaughton passed away one month short of her 94th birthday. She lived her entire life in Arnprior, save for the past year when she moved to a nursing home in Kingston to be closer to family. She lived an amazing everyday life. She never climbed Mount Everest or ran a big company. Her accomplishments were everyday events, but amazing over a lifetime. For starters, she lived in the house she was born in at 156 Elgin St. her entire life. She was born April 22, 1919. The midwife arrived a few days early by horse and cutter because the road between Arnprior and Braeside were still snow covered and greasy. Catherine never lived in another residence for the next 91 years - I wonder is the Guinness Book of World Records has a category anything like this in their pages. After high school, she went to secretarial school in Carleton Place. She travelled back and forth each day on the train. She then became a legal secretary for Con Mulvihill Sr. She worked for the ďŹ rm (now Mulvihill and Murray) for the next 44 years. I ďŹ gured one time that she walked more than 22,000 miles back and forth to work. In all those years, there was exactly one murder case she was involved with - a case from far away Pembroke! Catherine never married, probably due to circumstances more than anything. My grandmother was sick with cancer for years when my aunt was in her twenties. This was followed up caring for my great aunt, then my grandfather in their declining years. The house at 156 Elgin St. was my aunt’s life. It was her universe. She would come to visit my family in Kingston for a few days but would always return home early because “someone was coming to the houseâ€?. My sisters and I visited the house our entire lives. We knew where everything was - the cookie jar (she was a great baker)... nothing ever seemed to change in the house. She would often say she didn’t have many visitors in later years; yet every day a handful of people would drop in. She had great and caring neighbours. She loved Arnprior and the Ottawa Valley...she was Arnprior’s Number 1 supporter her whole life. She however loved her family even more. She was the kindest, most supporting person a family could ever have. We have been truly blessed to have had Catherine in our lives. There will be a celebration of Catherine’s life Saturday April 20th from 12 -2 pm at the Boyce Funeral Home. Lee McNaughton Kingston

We still can’t believe you are gone, We miss you in so many ways, We miss the things you used to say, And when old times we do recall, It’s then we miss you most of all, Love you and miss you both so much!

We miss you so much!!! Forever loved, Linda and your family

DEATH NOTICE

CLR429552

CLR430006

In my home there is a photo, Of a face more precious than gold. And to those who loved and lost you, Your memory will never grow old. Today I look at your photo, At your face so loving and true. No wonder my heart is breaking, Chris, Losing a son like you. But each day you walk beside me, And when my life is through, I pray that God will take my hand, And lead me straight to you. Sadly missed & Lovingly remembered, Love Mom & Earl
