Relay for Life Cam Whalen, the youth program specialist at the Canadian Cancer Society, speaks to students about the importance of participating in Relay For Life. “It’s worth your effort to fight back against this terrible disease,” he said at Arnprior District High School on April 18. “Why bother? Because you get to see the results.” Meanwhile, organizer Mikayla Davis, front row centre, and the rest of the Relay committee are busy preparing for the June 9 event. Mikayla, like all members of the committee, has been had someone close to her affected by cancer. She said the goal this year is to raise $13,000, the same as last year. Back in 2002, four Ontario schools decided to make fundraising for cancer research a priority. They raised about $100,000. Last year, 1,000 schools in the province participated. They raised an impressive $30 million.

The Renfrew County and District Health Unit is taking steps to try to ensure no local students are suspended from school because their immunizations are not up to date. In a news release, the health unit reports it has been working with local schools to ensure students have the proper shots. Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act, public health units are required to maintain immunization records for all students. The province takes the matter seriously, noting immunization protects children from many serious diseases that are easily spread in schools. The Health Unit has completed its review of immunization records for the 2015/16 school year. Reminder notices have been sent to families of students
with immunization records that are not up to date. Students can get vaccinations that they require at the Health Unit or through their health care provider. They can also mail or fax copies of vaccination records to the Health Unit (health care providers do not notify the Health Unit when a vaccination is given). They can also submit an exemption form. “It is important for health units to have this information,” said Dr. Kathryn Reducka, acting medical officer of health at the Renfrew County and District Health Unit. “In the case of an outbreak, public health staff must be able to quickly advise students who are not immunized so they can take action to protect themselves.” The Reminder Notices also prompt parents to ensure their child’s immunizations are current. This helps
protect them from vaccine preventable diseases, added Vicki Benoit, co-ordinator at the Health Unit. “We are providing extra immunization clinics, including evening clinics so that students have more opportunities to receive the immunizations they need.” If the Health Unit does not receive the required information, Final Notices will be sent. These urge parents to provide the information before the deadline indicated on the notice. Once the deadline is reached, Suspension Orders will be issued by the Acting Medical Officer of Health. Affected students will not be able to attend school until the required information is provided. To make an appointment for an immunization or to discuss any questions or concerns, call Renfrew County and District Health Unit at 1-800-267-1097, ext. 597.

The Renfrew County Fire Chiefs’ Association (RCFCA) is the latest agency to get behind the campaign to stop distracted driving. On March 31 in Pembroke, fire officials from across the county, including Arnprior fire chief John Okum and McNab-Braeside fire chief Dave Hartwick, gathered to launch the ‘Stop Texting’ campaign. The effort features stop sign shaped ‘Stop Texting’ magnets to give out to the public. The fire departments are banding with other emergency services to get the message out because people continue to drive while distracted. Firefighters see the results, as they often are called out to respond to collisions on area highways and roads. All Renfrew County fire departments’ fire and rescue apparatus will display the magnets. The association produced thousands of the magnets, which will be handed out at fire halls around the conty.
Don’t let the dog days of Summer get you down. JOHN CARTER/METROLAND
McNab-Braeside fire prevention officer Karen Barsoski shows where to put the ‘Stop Texting’ magnets on your vehicle. Fire departments are particularly interested in having commercial vehicles display the magnets because they are so common and visible on area roads but welcome all drivers to help share the message. By placing the magnet on a vehicle, a motorist is making a commitment to set an example and not text while driving. Last year, distracted driving killed 78 people on Ontario’s roads.
The ‘Stop Texting’ campaign was initially started by Kingston’s Emergency Services and was adopted by the RCFCA in 2015. “All emergency service providers are affected by the dangers of distracted driving,” says campaign promotion. “Too many friends and family members have been lost, injured or forever devastated by accidents resulting from texting and cell phone usage while driving.”

McNab-Braeside is getting in the spirit of Pitch-In Week and Earth Week this Saturday, April 23, with a clean-up the township campaign. The 49th annual Pitch-in Week runs April 17 to 23 in Canada and Earth Week April 18 to 22, culminating in Earth Day this Friday. McNab-Braeside recreation director Geoff Patterson is inviting all township residents to come done to the municipal office on Russett Drive at 9 a.m. Saturday to
help with the spring cleaning. The township will be giving out Pitch-In garbage bags and routes will be mapped out for the volunteers to avoid duplication. Participants can choose their own areas to pick up litter or tackle local parks and roadway ditches. Local boy scouts will be focusing on the area around Red Pine Bay and Braeside Beach. As well, McNab-Braeside firefighters will be concentrating on the areas around the three fire halls. All participants are invited back to the township office at noon to
enjoy Tim Hortons coffee and donuts. The trash will be sorted to ensure recyclables do not end up in the landfill, noted Patterson. He said the township has held pitch-in campaigns in the past, but this is the first time organizers are planning one on such a large scale. Pitch-in campaigns around the country are expected to include 625,000 volunteers in 15,000 cleanup events. For more information about Pitch-in Week, visit www.pitchin. ca.
Council faces major downtown parking decisions Continued from front
Mayor David Reid reiterated Strike’s point after the letter was read. “It’s physically impossible to have all the parking needs met,” Reid said. “We’ll be looking at all our options.” However, the dilemma is magnified when other restaurants are considered. Krave Bistro and Sweetandsassyco require parking, even during the day. Then there is the unnamed restaurant next to Jim’s. It is owned by the former TOSH restaurateurs. According to the letter, they need 175 parking spaces. Twenty would be rented from Giant Tiger, but that still leaves 155. Will they pay the town $232,500 in lieu? Xidous framed the full scope of the problem. “There are at least 300 new parking spaces needed, according to bylaw, based on the number of new businesses springing up in the area,” he wrote. “With the increase in new ventures in the downtown district, how
does the Town of Arnprior plan on providing parking for these new businesses when there are barely enough spaces available for the existing businesses?” If collected, that $450,000 would go toward a new parkade. But it is unclear the current council will fulfill the intentions of a former council. Lumbertown owner Lisa Hogan was also at the public meeting. She said she grew up in Arnprior and owns two businesses in town, with plans for more. “We want to bring a great establishment to town,” Hogan said. “We want to bring a new flavour and a new generation. We want to make room for a new generation. And create jobs.” Xidous said it is understandable new businesses want to avoid paying additional fees; opening a new venture is expensive; it is a simple question of fairness for him. Council is waiting for staff to verify some of Xidous’ information before it votes at an upcoming meeting.

Yakabuski challenges government on Highway 17 funding Tiffany Lepack
tlepack@metroland.com
The fight for a timely continuation of the four-laning of Highway 17 up the Ottawa Valley continued on April 11. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski stood during question period at Queen’s Park and repeatedly asked Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca if he would commit to putting the next phase of the twinning of Highway 17 into the ministry’s fiveyear capital infrastructure plan. In an interview after he asked the questions in the Legislature, he said he will keep pressing the matter on a regular basis. “This is one of the highest priorities,” said Yakabuski. He felt the minister’s response had a positive tone. “He was certainly looking at ways to make it happen,” said Yakabuski. “The issue is the commitment. I wanted to make it clear and on the record. I felt it was positive and until the five-year plan is announced we will keep pressing.” During his exchange with the minister, Yakabuski referenced the meeting Del Duca had with County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon
and McNab-Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett on March 24. Emon told the Chronicle-Guide he was quite happy to see Yakabuski raise the question. “I think it is very appropriate for him to ask the question to the minister,” said Emon. “It’s part of the process and John asked for some very reasonable things. It’s good news because this is exactly how the process should go.” Yakabuski praised the work Renfrew County has done, saying it has been instrumental. “With all of our ducks in a row, we feel it is difficult for them to not move on it,” said Yakabuski. MONEY FOR CNL
Emon noted the minister told him they should hear something before the summer. On April 13 Emon was present when the federal government announced it is providing Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) with $800 million over five years for infrastructure projects to renew and revitalize the Chalk River Laboratories (formerly AECL). Some of the projects will be related to the renewal of basic site infrastructure, while other projects
will be for science facilities aligning with its long-term vision for the site, notably plans that are part of CNL’s Vision 2026. “That certainly, again ties it back to our (highway) presentation and what John said as it is a very important artery,” said Emon. The current four-laning phase will reach Scheel Drive this year, but the next phase has yet to make it into future plans. “The minister knows this project is vital to the economy of Renfrew County as a transportation corridor,” said Yakabuski. “It connects Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and Garrison Petawawa to the nation’s capital and it is a major artery for commercial truck traffic. Given how crucially important this roadway is, will the minister commit to putting the further twinning of Highway 17 into his ministries five-year plan?” Del Duca responded by thanking Yakabuski for his advocacy on the issue and called the meeting last month a ‘fantastic conversation’. “Both the ministry and myself recognize the importance of this highway project and the impact it will have as we continue the four lanes through the County of Ren-
frew,” said Del Duca. “I can assure that member I will continue to work closely with his community and the ministry understands the importance of this particular artery in in Eastern Ontario and we will continue to have conversations as we go forward.” Del Duca also pointed out the environmental assessments for the next phases have been completed and the ministry will continue to work with the community on the project. As his question was not answered, Yakabuski pressed on by saying he appreciates the work that has been done up until now. “But we cannot stop.” He reminded Del Duca his predecessors had asked the county government to make the case for the continued twinning of Highway 17. “I believe they have made that case over and over again in spades,” said Yakabuski. “It’s now up to the minister.” Yakabuski also referenced the infrastructure investments the federal government has made assomething the province should take advantage of. “(And) place the highest priority on this project; four-laning will be
a boom to Renfrew County both economically and socially as well as making the route safer for everyone who travels it.” He then asked again if it would be included in the five-year plan. “I thank the member for acknowledging that we now have a federal government in Ottawa that understands the importance of investing in crucial infrastructure,” said Del Duca. He also pointed out in 2015-16 the Liberal government invested $2.4 billion to expand and rehabilitate roads and bridges across Ontario. He finished by saying he would continued to work with Yakabuski and perhaps partner with the new Liberal government in Ottawa on the Highway 417 four-laning. Work resumes
Work has resumed on the fourlaning of the highway between Campbell and Scheel drives west of Arnprior. Motorists should expect delays as flag persons took up spots at the Campbell Drive end of the project Friday, reducing the traffic flow to one lane. The work will continue all summer through to fall.

Thank you to the ARH Auxiliary
The Arnprior Regional Health Auxiliary made a significant donation this month to Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) in the amount of $215,000. These funds were raised as a result of the hard work of the dedicated volunteers at the Opportunity Shop on John Street and the Gift Shop located on the ground floor at Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital. These funds were used to help purchase of two new pieces of diagnostic imaging equipment: an echocardiography (echo) and a portable hand held echo. The echocardiography machine is used on over 1,000 patients per year. It is an ultrasound machine that creates pictures of the heart while it is beating and shows the heart valves and other structures. The portable echo is used in the emergency department especially in a trauma situation allowing the doctor to see into the chest and abdomen for evidence of injury. In addition, the ARH Internist uses the portable device on the inpatient unit. These are life-saving pieces of equipment for Arnprior Regional Health.
“The dedication of the ARH Auxiliary is evident year in and year out. The fundraising achievements of these volunteers exceed all expectations every year. Their successes are truly amazing and their exceptional work contributes significantly on our journey to be recognized for exemplary care. Their donations allow us to purchase much needed equipment and furniture at the hospital and The Grove,” said Eric Hanna, President and CEO of Arnprior Regional Health. The ARH Auxiliary donates 100% of the funds raised to ARH. All items sold at the Opportunity Shop are donated by the community. The doors of the Opportunity Shop first opened in 1974 and throughout its history two constants have remained, a dedicated group of volunteers and a commitment to Arnprior Regional Health. Over 100 volunteers work at the Opportunity Shop, many logging long hours, some do as many as 30 hours each week.
Auxiliary members pose with the new echo machine, from left to right Margaret Fisher, Sally LaBrie, Susan Gillan, Teresa Thom and Bernice O’Connor.

pain and Swelling “unexplainable!” A friend of mine recently told me that he has had pain on the inside of his left calf now for a few weeks and it doesn’t let go. Ever since he also noticed that his lower left leg and ankle was visibly swollen. He said there was never a bruise, nor can he remember what he’d done to it. Yes he is very active, but he didn’t hit himself or fell over something, at least not as far as he can remember. He said: “Last week it was so bad that I went to emergency, thinking that it might come from my heart or it being a clogged artery.” He was truly getting concerned that there was something bad going on as it wouldn’t light up and heal. With over six hours waiting time at Emergency, he decided to leave after a few hours again and to further monitor his leg. I had a look at it and really, there was nothing visible, except the swelling.We discussed many options that could have happened and also investigated what this pain and the swelling would mean on the soul spiritual side of things. If there is something weird going on in our body, something that cannot be explained, we always identify the deeper meaning of “why we needed to get this and how it is a little “wink” to correct our lifestyle in one way or another.” My friend got his “aha” moment and now at least on an emotional level he could relate to the pain and swelling. We also treated him with some homeopathic remedies and within only one day his symptoms had noticeably improved. Within a total of four days there was not trace of anything left.The pain as well as the swelling was completely gone! What a happy “camper” he was! To see our Heilkunst treatment being this effective, he was absolutely amazed and became a total “believer” in Heilkunst. Sometimes it’s just this little curveball thats been thrown to us, something that make us completely desperate and then out of this desperation we are willing to try something we previously resisted and pooped. Seeing is believing! Keep an open mind. Try Heilkunst for yourself! There is nothing we don’t treat for!

Landlord fries on social media Social media strikes again. This time when more than 900 people supported an online petition against the forced ouster of Brian’s Spud’s With Taste from it’s Daniel Street location, the new owners of Canadian Tire, who are upgrading the Arnprior Shopping Centre, backed away from the chip stand plan when they learned how popular it is. Within 24 hours the decision was delayed and is now up in the air.

The member of parliament for Renfrew-NipissingPembroke announced - two days before the 2015 election was called - the municipality would get $107,000 for a lead corrosion treatment system at the water filtration plant. It turns out the money was only guaranteed if the provincial government chipped in equal funding. “Please be assured that when I travelled to Arnprior to announce funding for this infrastructure project in July of 2015, federal approval was in place,” Gallant said in a letter to Mayor David Reid, made public at the April 11 council meeting. “What I was not aware of was the letter that was sent to Guy Bourgon, director of public works, June 29, 2015 from the Province of Ontario rejecting Arnprior’s application.” Gallant asked the new Liberal government if the money can still be forwarded. It said only if the province is on board with its one-third of the cost. “It will only approve federal funding where provincial approval has been obtained,” she wrote. “I encourage your municipality to work with the province as there is a call for shovel-ready projects which is what I understand this project is.” Coun. Dan Lynch didn’t take kindly to the turn of events. “To say I am disappointed in her actions is an understatement,” he said. The $321,000 project could paid for entirely by town taxpayers. Reid has indicated the project will go ahead with or without funding from other levels.
Rural municipalities continue to push for lower policing costs John Carter
john.carter@metroland.com
OPP costs should be brought into line with other policing costs in Canada. That’s the contention of McNab-Braeside councillors, who expressed support for efforts by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the Rural Mayors’ Forum of Eastern Ontario to get the costs under control. Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden questioned why Ontario municipalities pay the highest policing costs in Canada and why the burden is being shifted onto smaller municipalities from the towns and cities. Coun. Mark MacKenzie said the economies of scale should mean lesser police costs in more populous provinces such as Ontario. So it’s puzzling it is the opposite with Ontario paying 20 per cent more, he added. He said municipalities should strongly support AMO’s suggestion that Ontario’s policing costs be
brought down to the national average in five years. “It’s a reasonable goal,” he said. “We need to look at ways to tighten up.” MacKenzie also said that municipalities should have stronger representation on police service boards. There should be more discussion on what calls for service should be responded to by police officers, he suggested. SPECIAL CONSTABLES
For instance some mental health calls might better be attended to by health care professionals, he said. Also, there are other ways, such as special constables perhaps, to handle some lower level functions, including traffic control for community events, he added. The recommendations are in an AMO report entitled ‘Municipal Guide to Police Service Act Consultations – Building a New Public Safety Model in Ontario’, which was very well done,
said MacKenzie. Later in the meeting, township council passed a motion of support for the Township of Minden Hills’ efforts to have the provincial Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services review and reconsider the new OPP billing model that has boosted policing costs dramatically for most rural municipalities in the province. Minden Hills is also asking for the province to review policing expenditures to find ways to reduce the cost per household and to take on a larger portion of the overall OPP budget. The township notes its policing costs have risen by about $650,000 in the past two years, translating into a 6.24 per cent increase in the municipal property tax levy this year alone. “It’s in line with what we’re looking to do as well,” said Armsden in moving support of the motion. “I strongly support this one,” added Mayor Tom Peckett.
Police cost increases, failed infrastructure bids irk rural mayors Rising OPP costs and infrastructure funding dominated the conversation when the Rural Mayors’ Forum of Eastern Ontario (RMFEO) met April 1 in Mississippi Mills. Over the last three months, members of the Eastern Ontario rural mayors group have been collecting and sharing OPP billing information and data to analyze and form conclusions. A report is expected to be published sometime this month. Preliminary results indicate that the OPP billing is $212,000 over what it should be for 12 of the 14 townships who are members. The main reason behind the overbilling is being attributed to discrepancies in Municipal Property Assessment Corporation figures and the actual number of residences
in a given municipality. Once all information from all of the member municipalities is collected and analyzed, the full report will be published and sent to MPAC to address the RMFEO’s concerns. The other item the RMFEO has been assessing is the Ontario Community Infrastructure Funding (OCIF). The main concern is that some municipalities are successful in getting applications and others are not. For the members of RMFEO only one of the 14 municipalities was successful this year. Adding to their discontent, a form letter lacking specific information is sent out informing the municipality it has not been successful. Expressions of interest are first assessed based on pre-
liminary evidence of a current or future health and/or safety issue, then on the applicant’s economic conditions and fiscal situation. The response is short on stating which criterion was not met. RMFEO members have submitted requests for more detailed information on why they were not successful to help improve the success rates going forward. The rural mayors forum includes local townships McNab-Braeside, Horton, Greater Madawaska, Mississippi Mills and Lanark Highlands. Arnprior was a member early on, but withdrew as it doesn’t have the same problem with the revised OPP costing formula that the more rural municipalities do. Renfrew has never been a member.

Be on the right side of history
M
unicipal councils across the Ottawa Valley are weighing the risks and benefits of the proposed Energy East pipeline. The issues are many, some fairly complicated. But one thing is certain: those that vote in favour will prove to be on the wrong side of history. Energy East aims to ship diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands to ports in Quebec and New Brunswick. It has been years in the making for multinational giant TransCanada. The blame for why the proposal has dragged on so long sits largely with the previous Conservative government, which gutted environmental laws to the point that no one could take the approval process seriously. The new Liberal government will make a decision at some point, now that it has created new conditions for pipeline developments. The problem for them is to approve a process that will add more carbon to the atmosphere while somehow convincing Canadians they are helping to slow climate change. Then again, government regulates the sale of cigarettes while funding cancer treatment. Renfrew and Admaston-Bromley councils have discussed the pipeline that would travel under the Bonnechere River. Arnprior and McNab-Braeside councils appear ready to make a decision on the pipeline that passes under the Madawaska River. Both seem likely to support it. In Arnprior’s case, Mayor David Reid said he is satisfied with two questions posed to TransCanada. Ontario’s natural gas supply will not be affected. And the pipeline, where it crosses the river, will be made of trustworthy materials. Notice the absence of any concern for climate change and the damage we are causing future generations. But to first address the two questions. It is by no means clear the province’s natural gas supply and price will not be affected. The company promises millions of dollars between 2020 and 2050 to compensate consumers. That only increases concern that it will cost more. They are planning for spikes, yet

Ontarians should trust they are not lowballing? And to trust TransCanada when it comes to building pipelines is to ignore the adage “past practice is the best indicator of future behaviour.” Their pipelines burst, it happens. A left-leaning think tank, The Council of Canadians, determined that Energy East poses a “considerable” risk. The 40-year-old pipeline has a 15 per cent likelihood of a full-bore rupture somewhere along the path that is within the drinking water of 5.1 million people. A rupture in the Madawaska would spell disaster for Arnprior and possibly the nation’s capital. There are many other reasons not to support Energy East. Little compensation to municipalities that take on the risk; most of the oil will be refined outside Canada; all will be sold to international markets; next to no permanent jobs; the benefits are few. However, the primary reason for area councils to - not only vote against Energy East but to actively campaign against it - has to do with climate change. Scientists are beginning to say how they have been too conservative in their estimations. The very real effects have begun and they are compounding rapidly. People with tremendous knowledge on the topic, such as Stephen Lewis, are now saying we have mere decades before we are hit with irreversible harm to human existence. “I’m kept awake at night thinking of what our grandchildren will face,” Lewis said at the recent NDP convention. “I believe the world is headed for an apocalyptic event between 2030 and 2050 that is absolutely irreversible. It will be one of those hallucinatory climatic convulsions. The damage we’ve done to the planet, and our refusal to confront that damage, constitutes nothing less than a monumental crime against humanity.” All local legislators must carefully consider their position on this, the issue that sustains all other issues. When looking back over a lifetime, and into a child’s eyes, which side of history will you be on?

Refugee committee reaches fundraising goal To the Editor: The Project Arnprior Welcome committee, which has worked to bring a Syrian Refugee family to Arnprior, happily announces it met its goal of raising enough money to bring in two families. It was through the amazing generosity of the Arnprior and District community that this was possible.
Work to bring in another family continues. The date for the second family’s arrival is to be determined by Immigration Canada, which is working on a backlog. At this time the committee thanks everyone who has contributed and requests all donations of money, furniture, clothing, etc., cease for now. If you still want to help, you can direct donations to other
charitable groups who are doing humanitarian relief work. As reported earlier, the first family of five arrived in March and is settling into life in Arnprior and doing well. Thank you Arnprior and district for your support and kindness. Katherine Miller-Gatenby, chair, Project Arnprior Welcome Committee

Community choir to celebrate 25 years with Dessert Musicales It’s the 25th anniversary of the Arnprior Community Choir, and what better way to celebrate than with a two-concert Dessert Musicale under the direction of the choir’s founder Lisa Webber. The concerts will take place on Friday, May 6 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, May 7 at 2 p.m. at the Christian Education Centre, 257 John St. North in Arnprior. Webber pored over the hundreds of musical pieces that the choir has performed over the past 25 years to select pieces for the Dessert Musicale. She selected music that will bring many smiles (and memories) to audiences, running all the way from the fabulous ‘50s and ‘60s to a medley of tunes from Johnny Cash and such tunes as Save the Last Dance For Me and The Hockey Song. The audience will also be invited to join in three sing-a-longs throughout the evening. So you can be sure that by the end of the concert they will be wanting more. The special guests at Dessert Musicale this year will be Tutti, a group of nine women who study voice under Webber. Tutti performs throughout the Valley at seniors’ homes, fundraising concerts, and recitals. Tutti’s musical choices will include Chattanooga Choo Choo, 60s Partyline and I’m Going To Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair. Along with pianist Elizabeth Brumm, the ladies will entertain the crowd with their toe-tapping tunes.
The concerts will also feature a variety of local musicians. Arnprior Community Choir pianist Andrea de Boer will be featured, as well as Mike McCormick, who will lead instrumentalists in accompanying the choir. As for the dessert part of the Dessert Musicale, the choir is offering a special treat for its audiences at the end of each concert, a piece of its very special 25th anniversary cake. This one-of-a-kind decorated cake will be made by choir member Marina Smith. It will feature the logo of the choir on the top, a logo designed by another member of the choir, Rhonda Tees. But if you don’t get a piece of cake, you can still have treats from the usual selection of homemade delicacies supplied by members of the choir.

A good list for a listless lister People enjoy birds a variety of ways. Some watch them dining at birdfeeders from the comfort of their homes. Others observe birds while walking on wooded trails, getting to know by name the more common of species. Then there are those who are obsessed, who need to identify every bird encountered and to get out birding every free moment. The latter include ‘listers’, the diehards of birding. Their lists range from ‘backyard lists’ to ‘provincial lists’, ‘Canadian lists’, and ‘World lists’. In earlier years, I admittedly was a lister who would drive half a day to see a bird not yet on my list. Those days are long gone, although I do feel the odd twinge when a provincial rarity turns up. I still keep a list whenever I spend a day in the field. And occasionally I keep a list when spending a full day trying to find as many species as I can. Recently I did just that. During peak migration in midMay, it is easy in eastern Ontario to see 100 species of birds in a single day. It’s considerably more
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way challenging to do that in midApril. I like challenges, so I set that goal for myself April 16. By dawn I was in Presqu’ile Provincial Park, one of the best locations for birdwatching in eastern Ontario. My plan was to look for birds in Presqu’ile all morning then move to Prince Edward County for the afternoon. Presqu’ile was alive with newly arrived migrants. Ruby-crowned Kinglets, tiny birds with oversized heads and energetic voices, were singing everywhere. Double-crested Cormorants constantly flew overhead accom-
panied by the raucous screams of Caspian Terns. Considerably more pleasant were the songs of Yellow-rumped and Pine warblers that drifted down from the trees. American Bitterns and Swamp Sparrows sang from the marshes. After I left Presqu’ile, I stopped at the Brighton Reconstructed Wetlands where Northern Shovelers, Virginia Rails and Common Moorhens were quickly added to the list, which now held the names of 74 species. In Prince Edward County I visited Kaiser Road east of Waupoos. Flooded fields along the road were alive with waterfowl (including a Tundra Swan) and hundreds of Bonaparte’s Gulls, little fellows with black heads and red legs and feet. Also present were Greater Yellowlegs and Dunlin, sandpipers on their way north. Before I left, a Little Gull, a rarity, arrived, another new species for the list. I arrived at Prince Edward Point with 89 species and two hours of daylight remaining. Horned Grebe, White-winged Scoter, Common Merganser, Vesper Sparrow, American Kestrel, and Eastern Towhee were quickly

Bill Craig is an organizer behind Arnprior’s upcoming fishing show. He is at the marina where anglers can take lures and spinners out for a test drive in the nearby Madawaska River.
Fishing show set for Arnprior marina Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The Arnprior marina and boat launch will be the site of an inaugural fishing event on Saturday, April 30. Called ‘A Fishing Day for Everyone’, the show will feature tables with a wide assortment of tackle, rods, reels and related equipment used by sport fishing anglers. Anyone who has been building baits in their garage is welcome to attend; the only prerequisite is to bring a table and clean up afterward. “We want everyone to come out,” organizer Bill Craig said. “It’s totally free for anyone who wants to sell their stuff or check out what people have.” Craig said the marina is ideal for testing baits and other equipment. But if demand is high, the show could move to the Nick Smith Centre next year. He also expects a number
of experts on hand, anglers who can talk about getting into tournaments and provide pointers for landing the big lunkers. “The kids will watch it on TV, but they don’t really know,” Craig said. “We’ll have people here who can really put them in the right di-
rection. “I mean, they aren’t going to tell them their secret spots or anything, but a lot of pointers.” The Lions Club will also be on hand with their barbecue. For more, call Craig at 613-622-0673 or email mistermuskie@gmail.com.

The Arnprior and McNabBraeside Archives (AMBA) have launched an improved online search interface and new digitized content. The AMBA is pleased to report the new system makes it easier and more efficient to access the archives online. The project was made possible through funding in the amount of $63,655 from Library and Archives Canada’s Documentary Heritage Communities Program (DCHP). The new platform provides visitors to the AMBA website with the ability to more easily search digitized content including, for example, photographs, historical bylaws of the Town of Arnprior and the Charles McNamara virtual exhibit. “The improved search function and new digitized content is a first step in building a modern and accessible archives,” said AMBA management board chair Julie Hartwick. “Researchers from local communities, in other parts of Ontario, and even beyond who have an interest in Ottawa Valley will be able to search the AMBA holdings virtually. “It also means longer term preservation of important documentation of our local history, some of which is too delicate to handle. “We are grateful to the Government of Canada and Library and Archives Canada for their financial assistance in making this a reality.” Canadian Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly and librarian and archivist Dr. Guy Berthiaume announced the results of the first funding cycle of the new DHCP on Dec. 14 at an event in Ottawa held at Library and Archives Canada. AMBA vice-president Irene Robillard and archivist Laurie Dougherty attended the event along with other funding recipients. “The Government of Canada is proud to contribute to the important work carried out by archives and libraries across Canada – the local guardians of Canada’s documentary heritage,” said Joly. The DHCP was created last year to provide financial assistance for activities that augment the visibility of and access to materials held by Canada’s local documentary heritage institutions. It funds a variety of projects that will allow citizens to access and engage with their nation’s history like never before. To access the new online search, visit www.ADArchives.org.

County paramedics, union applaud new PTSD legislation Sherry Haaima
sherry.haaima@metroland.com
Post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD is a very real challenge for many of Ontario’s 73,000 first responders. New legislation passed unanimously April 5 should make accessing services easier for first responders, who are twice as likely than the general public to suffer from PTSD. The province passed legislation that will create a presumption that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosed in first responders is work-related. County of Renfrew Paramedic Chief Michael Nolan applauded the move. “For first responders in general it shines a light on a really important subject that has been not only misunderstood but underappreciated in terms of its impact,” said Nolan. Trauma affects all first responders, he said. “Part of this is about PTSD, but the greater opportunity here is also highlighting mental health and making sure we create a supportive culture,” said Nolan.
“Under the Supporting Ontario’s First Responders Act (Bill 163), the presumption allows for faster access to WSIB benefits, resources and timely treatment,” says a Province of Ontario press release. “Once a first responder is diagnosed with PTSD by either a psychiatrist or a psychologist, the claims process to be eligible for WSIB benefits will be expedited, without the need to prove a causal link between PTSD and a workplace event.” The release goes on to indicate the presumption applies to police officers; firefighters; paramedics; certain workers in correctional institutions and secure youth justice facilities; dispatchers of police, firefighter and ambulance services; and emergency response teams. “The act also allows the Minister of Labour to request and publish PTSD prevention plans from employers of workers who are covered by the presumption,” it says. The act is part of the province’s strategy to prevent or mitigate the risk of PTSD and provide first responders with faster access to treatment and the information they need to stay healthy. Renfrew County paramedic
CHRIS DAY Chris Day, who is vice chair of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) ambulance committee of Ontario, was at Queen’s Park for the passing of the legislation. “We feel it is a great first step,” said Day, noting there are still some areas he’d like to see improved. “We’re extremely happy with Minister of Labour Kevin Flynn and Safety Minister Yasir Naqvi for their push and leadership to hurry up and get it through so we

can start getting help for first responders.” Among the problems with the system, explained Day, was that because of the way WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) is structured, workers were expected when filing a claim to list a specific date, time and details of the incident. With first responders, responding to various traumatic events can have a cumulative effect. “Yes, it can be a traumatic onetime event, but it can be something more chronic and over a long period of time,” said Day. The mood at Queen’s Park was upbeat on the day of the bill’s passing, said Day. Union officials were a little disappointed the bill is retroactive going back only 24 months, said Day, and that individuals who had WSIB claims denied in the past will not be allowed to have their cases reopened. Day said they’d like to see more workers included in the legislation, as well, but that covering first responders is a good start. Passing of the legislation has been a long time coming, said Day, with the bill first coming forward some eight years ago after being proposed by NDP MPP Cheri DiNovo. The province has also promised
Hydro rates at tipping point: Yakabuski have increased for Ontarians whether or not they have used more or less electricity, Yakabuski noted. “This is because of their mismanagement of the electricity system, ineffective energy conservation measures, and unneeded new generation while selling surplus electricity at a loss - to neighboring jurisdictions,” he said. “The Minister stated that he was taking steps to undo their increases,” added Yakabuski, “Yet since November the average bill has gone up $187.” Despite his pressuring the Ministry of Energy to change the government’s “disastrous energy strategy,” Chiarelli has refused to acknowledge “his failure” to prevent these new rate increases and denied the Liberal’s “mismanagement” of the province’s electricity system, said Yakabuski. “With peak rates about to reach 18 cents kWh, people all across Ontario are reaching the breaking point,” he charged. “The Minister needs to stop with FREE ESTIMATES the rhetoric and commit to action. When will he actually do something concrete to address skyrocketing electricity rates before Ontario reaches the point of no return?”
Renfrew-Nipissing Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski is continuing his attack on the Liberal government’s energy policies, saying the latest increase hydro rates are pushing customers to the breaking point. Yakabuski, the Official Opposition Energy Critic, asked the Minister of Energy in the Legislative Assembly Monday what, if anything, he would do to stem the latest “unaffordable” 2.5 per cent increase in the province’s electricity rates beginning May 1. Under the Wynne Liberals, hydro rates

to be more proactive in terms of providing supports that might prevent the PTSD in the first place, said Day, including ensuring counsellors provided to first responders are properly trained. “We have EAP programs in place, but the problem is those are good for if your children are having trouble with schoolwork, you’re having financial trouble or problems with your spouse,” said Day. “Those counsellors are not specifically trained on how to deal with PTSD or someone who’s just watched five people burn to death in their car.” Access to specialized, trained counsellors could help first responders before the effects of trauma become debilitating. Paramedics and communication officers representing four labour groups with nearly 8,000 Ontario paramedic members among them were at the Legislative gallery at Queen’s Park, to support and mark the event. Paramedics from Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto, Renfrew, Durham, Peel and ORNGE, were on hand for the vote. “Bill 163 will go a long way they say in lessening the stigma associated with PTSD and paramedics getting help and treatment before it’s too late,” said a joint press release issued from the four unions.

Report From Parliament:
AMHA elects Scott Thomson new president Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Following a rocky start to a successful season, Arnprior Minor Hockey Association held its annual general meeting to one of the largest crowds in recent memory. After the abrupt resignation of the organization’s president in late September, vice-president Dustin Dorken took over the leadership role. He oversaw what at least some around the Nick Smith Centre say was a smooth and successful AMHA season. Moreover, Dorken was instrumental is bringing about the inaugural minor hockey day. The rink and hall were filled with players and community members attending on-ice games, a breakfast, kids games, a dance and more. Dorken unofficially stepped down as president during the recent annual general meeting, attended by about 50 people. Highlights for him included an adult dance, a Redblacks game, a 67s game and the Sens Alumni game against coaches. The team he coached, the peewee Packers, won the regular season and district championship. “I think it was a lot of fun this year. The AMHA day kinda instilled some community pride. People are still talking about it,” said Dorken , who rarely misses a chance to involve the community. “Hockey takes a lot of volunteers. We could always use more volunteers, even people without kids in the system.” He also had a few comments on the newly elected president Scott Thomson,

Is Canada Preparing for Financial Disaster? Are Your Savings Protected? Is Canada preparing for financial disaster? Are savings protected? Those are questions constituents are asking now that the dust has begun to settle on the most alarming federal budget since the disastrous budget of former liberal finance Minister Allan J. MacEachen. At that time, five year mortgage interest rates spiked to over 21 per cent. The Bank recapitalization“bail in”scheme being proposed on page 223 of the Trudeau budget has seniors worried. It allows the Government to convert a bank’s eligible long term debt into common shares, in order to recapitalize the bank. In addition to being concerned about bank deposits, any retirement savings that included bank shares would be exposed also. A preliminary proposal was made by former Finance Minister James Flaherty regarding Charter Bank solvency rules. However, under our previous Conservative Government’s plan, bank deposits were protected from seizure. The decision to move from a Conservative balanced budget to multi-billion dollar deficits with no plan to halt the debt spiral changes everything. Canadian chartered banks will be expected to loan some of the money required to cover the projected 30 billion dollar annual deficits announced in the March 22nd federal budget. In addition to financing the federal spending spree, Canada’s banks are holding billions of dollars of debts from the oilsands. The depressed price of oil has already caused tens of thousands of Canadians to lose their jobs. Internationally, there are at least five countries with oil depressed economies that are teetering on insolvency. According to Statistics Canada, since the 2015 federal election, billions of dollars have been transferred out of the country by Canadian investors, the largest recorded flight of capital since records began to be kept. It would appear, well-connected insiders got all of their cash out in time. Canada, in contrast with other countries, that has seen central banks become net buyers of gold since 2010, has sold off all its official gold holdings. The Bank of Canada on February 23, 2016 showed gold reserves at zero (0). Canada now stands as the only G7 nation that does not hold at least 100 tonnes of gold in its official reserves. Out of 188 member countries of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), 100 countries hold gold as part of their monetary assets. Canada is now among the 88 countries that have no gold, countries such as Angola, Belize and Tonga. In a desperate move to raise revenue, in addition to raising taxes, Trudeau announced in his budget the creation of a new branch at the Canada Revenue Agency for April 1, with the hiring of additional tax collectors to chase the money that has already fled the country, at a start-up cost of 444 million dollars. Trudeau is so confident his tax collectors will find an additional 10 billion dollars to squeeze out of Canadians, this budget has already spent the expected‘new’tax revenues before one cent has been collected. My only hope is that after 4 years of wild, profligate spending, Canada does not find itself in the same position as countries like Greece and Cyprus find themselves today.

Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, CNL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you!

Ruth Brown, who is co-chairing the host committee along with Arnprior recreation director Glenn Arthur, thanked all the families, friends and fan “for making this possible.” Canadian Broomball Federation president George Brown, the Val-
ley’s ‘Mr. Broomball’, noted Arnprior is no stranger to the sport, having hosted the World Broomball championships in 2012 and the senior nationals in 2010. The opening ceremony, emceed by Canadian Broomball Federation vice-president Gerry Wever, included piping in of all 15 teams by local piper Bob Smith. Joining the Browns, Mayor Reid and Arthur on the red carpet at centre ice were the broomball association’s referee-in-chief Doug Nixon, athlete development co-ordinator Pascale Gauthier, coaching co-ordinator Conrad Morneau and Arnprior Special Olympian Greg Murdoch. Arnprior District High School’s Red Velvet singers entertained musically and led in the singing of O Canada.

Braeside brothers to compete on international hockey stage Arnprior area brothers Jace and Dean Letourneau get to live out their young hockey dreams over the next few months. The young brothers have each been selected to play on elite level hockey teams and will compete on the international stage this spring and summer. The boys live in Braeside, attend St. Joseph’s School in Arnprior and have come through the Arnprior Minor Hockey System. This past season Jace played for the Minor Peewee UOV Aces while Dean played for the Major Atom UOV Aces. In late April, Jace will be travelling to Bolzano, Italy to play in the World Selects Invitational (http://www.legacyglobalsports.com/worldselectsinvite), competing against teams from Russia, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Italy, U.S.A. and the rest of Canada. He was selected by the Selects Hockey organization at the annual tryout held in Burlington, Vermont to join the international program with the East Coast Selects – Q (ECS-Q) hockey team. More than 80 players from eastern Canada and the U.S. northeast attended the tryout. “Jace was superb at the tryout. He not only showed he has the skill to be a top hockey prospect but also demonstrated an incredible work ethic and passion on the ice,” said ECS-Q head coach Peter Baptista. Meanwhile, Jace’s younger brother Dean will also be playing some high level hockey this sum-

ADHS grad enjoys making ice for country’s top curlers Interest in icemaking began at Arnprior Curling Club Tiffany Lepack
tlepack@metroland.com
Making the perfect curling sheet is an art form, one that Arnprior District High School graduate Jon Wall is perfecting all over the world. Wall was on the ice-making team at the recent Tim Hortons Brier in Ottawa before heading out east to make more championship ice in Nova Scotia. Wall grew up in the Ottawa Valley. He graduated from ADHS and spent his summers on his family’s farm near Renfrew, which he now calls home. He says he has been really focused on making ice for the last 10 years, but it all started when he wanted to curl after school in Arnprior. “I was a competitive curler; if I wanted to practice, I had to pebble my own ice, so I was a little bit self-taught,” said Wall. He moved to Ottawa to attend Algonquin College, graduating in 2009 from the recreation facility management program. While there he worked at the Ottawa Curling Club. Dwayne Lowe, who runs the pro shop, knew about Wall’s unique skill set and offered him a job in the shop and on the ice. “It was a little nerve-racking, but I thought I was ready for it,” said Wall. “It’s definitely a lot of work on your own.” Wall worked there for four years, eventually becoming the head ice tech. “Dwayne showed me of the basics of pebbling and scraping,” said Wall. From 2010-2014 he was also the head ice tech at the Navan Curling Club. Since 2009 he has been working with Mark Shurek on Grand Slam of Curling events. “I learned the art of ice making from him,” said Wall. “Everything I learned about big events came from him. How to maintain championship ice, learning the skills and what you have to do in any building to make better ice conditions.” In 2014, he started to work with the Canadian Curling Association and has travelled
across the country making ice: 2014 the Canadian Seniors Championship in Yellowknife, the Canadian Mixed Championships in North Bay in 2014, with the Brier this year, and he has just finished working the Canadian Seniors Championships in Nova Scotia. Last year he took over the ice-making contract at the Renfrew Curling Club. “A lot of it is trying to help out and give back,” said Wall. “It’s a nice fit, a good way to make sure I get home for a couple of days.” He says it’s nice working in the Valley. “Whenever I get back everyone is happy to see me. There are more personal questions after a trip than worrying about their own wants with the ice.” BRIER ICE
The Brier, the Canadian men’s curling championship, was held in Ottawa March 5 to 13 with the country’s top curlers on the ice. Wall had an exciting time at the event but didn’t watch a lot of the games other than seeing how the rocks travelled down the ice. “It was a good experience,” said Wall. “I thought I would be a lot more nervous on the main stage, but I didn’t feel any of those nerves. Maybe it was because I was home or because I knew the teams, it felt like an everyday event for me.” Dave Merklinger was the head icemaker at the Brier and it was the first time Wall had the chance to work with , so they had to get use to each other’s style. Merklinger has been in the ice-making business for 40 years and was impressed with Wall. “He did a real good job,” said Merklinger. “He’s a good student and I know he learned lots. That’s what it’s all about, to teach the younger ones. He helped me out a lot.” Both agreed keeping the ice in championship shape was a challenge. “It was as hard as I’ve ever had to work

Jon Wall was one of the icemakers at the 2016 Tim Hortons Brier in Ottawa. Wall applies pebble to the ice. to let them make good shots; it was only because the ton of work we put in,” said Merklinger. The Brier was played at TD Place in downtown Ottawa, an old building with no dehumidifier and no air conditioning. “They just had a pile of horsepower in the plant and nothing to extract the heat easily,”
said Wall on the conditions. Between the games they had to open all of the doors to try to get rid of the heat. The rain added more challenges. “On Wednesday and Thursday when it rained, those were the toughest days. The humidity kept building and building,” said Wall. The challenges continued as a number of players criticized the ice condition, something Wall says is hard to hear. “When they are giving you criticism, they are just trying to let you know what it’s doing. You try and drown out the tone and listen,” explained Wall. “Even if it is bad, they are still trying to tell you what’s going on with the ice so you can make it better.” Most players knew it was out of the icemakers’ control. Overall, Wall was happy with the ice conditions and felt 90 per cent of the feedback was positive. “It was tricky; the frost did play an optical illusion and that’s hard on the players because it means taking one or two points and there is a lot on the line for them.” Having the Brier in Ottawa didn’t feel like it was home for him because he was so focused. But “It was neat to be … on one of the biggest stages of curling,” said Wall. “It was a proud moment for all of my family and friends to see what I do.” His father Graham had never seen him at work before. “It was a special moment to have him there.” Another special moment for him came when Merklinger thanked the ice crew on TSN in a special feature video. “That was a pretty gratifying moment because we put in a lot of hard work to make the ice as good as we could,” said Wall. He has also made ice in Denmark and China, which he says was definitely a different experience than the Ottawa Valley. Wall hoped he would be curling at the elite level but is happy where he is now. “Most days it doesn’t feel like work,” said Wall. “It is definitely nice to travel the country and I am very fortunate to be in the position I am.”

Arnprior’s Royal Oak receives provincial recognition The Royal Oak at the Galilee Retreat Centre has been recognized as a heritage tree under Trees Ontario’s Ontario Heritage Tree Program. Michelle Reis-Amores, director of the Galilee Centre, and Chris Grubisic, a member of the conservation committee of the Macnamara Field Naturalists Club, were both “thrilled” and “delighted” on receiving the news Thursday, April 16. They noted it is an exciting announcement for the town just in time to celebrate Earth Day this Friday, April 22. “We are on the map again as a place of interest for all lovers of the natural environment,” they said. Last fall Grubisic sent details of the historic oak to Trees Ontario to apply for the honour. The Ontario Heritage Tree program identifies and records the location of heritage trees throughout the province. Heritage trees are identified and assessed based on their age, size, appearance, and most importantly their cultural and historical significance. The identification of these trees will enable Trees Ontario and community minded organizations to locate potential native seed sources of legacy trees. Collecting the seeds will ensure native stock is grown and available for future planting. The following information about the Royal Oak can be found in the
Arnprior and MacNab-Braeside Archives: “In 1860 the Royal Oak was planted as a sapling by the 19-year-old Prince of Wales, eldest son of Queen Victoria, who later became Edward VII, on his tour to New York and Canada. “After he laid the cornerstone of the new Parliament Buildings in Bytown, the Prince travelled by steamboat and birchbark canoe, which took part in a race, to Arnprior, known for its lumber industry. The Prince lunched at ‘The Hill’, the home of Daniel McLachlin, one of the lumber barons of the area. “It was recorded that the Prince enjoyed ‘an elaborate luncheon’ before planting the oak sapling, which had been made ready by the head gardener, in a position overlooking Lac Des Chats, on the Ottawa River.” ‘The Hill’ is now the Galilee Retreat Centre. Each year on Earth Day everyone can celebrate by planting a tree and leaving a living legacy, just as the Prince did 166 years ago. For more information about the Heritage Trees program, please visit www.forestsontario.ca. The Macnamara Field Naturalists Club meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 7.30 p.m. at the Arnprior Curling Club, 15 Galvin St., ArnpriCHRIS GRUBISIC/SUBMITTED or.

Renfrew home, leisure show a go, but Arnprior’s cancelled The 12th annual myFM Home and Leisure Show this Friday and Saturday (April 22-23) in Renfrew is being promoted as a positive format to showcase many of the Ottawa Valley’s locally owned businesses. It runs 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at the Ma-te-way Activity Centre. Organizers say the success of the
home show is an important sign that local businesses aren’t willing to let these trying economic times defeat them. “Consider being a part of this positive stand in our community, and let’s support our local business crusaders. Together we want them to make it through these changes and help our community grow
and prosper. We will see you at the show.” The home show will feature a variety of exhibitors, and food, aimed informing and entertaining all who attend. There will also be several door prizes, including a $500 travel voucher from Marlin Travel. Visitors can enjoy attractions such as the all new Kids Zone
with inflatables, face painting and special surprise guests. There will be appearances by Miss Teen Ambassador and Miss Teen Ontario East and delegates. The show will also feature a display by the Renfrew Art Guild. The Renfrew Home, Garden and Leisure show is hosted by myFM 96.1, the Renfrew and Area
Chamber of Commerce, and the Town of Renfrew and is sponsored by Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and Marlin Travel. Meanwhile, the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce home and leisure show, which had been scheduled for April 29-30 at the Nick Smith Centre, has been cancelled for this year.

OBST, Wanda - In memory of a dear, fun and loving sister and aunt, who was taken tragically in a car accident, April 23, 2003. Time passes… our grief remains… You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you cannot see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she’d want; Smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Forever in our hearts… Deb, Doug and Erin

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache, That lies beneath our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to live without. Always in our hearts and thoughts, Love Bonnie, Shannon (Mike), Ryan (Heather), Matthew, Sierra and Aiden

The Renfrew and District Labour Council is inviting the public to join members to recognize local workers who have been killed or injured on the job at its annual Day of Mourning ceremony Thursday, April 28. The ceremony for the RenfrewArnprior area will be held at 12:15 p.m. at the memorial in O’Brien Park near the Swinging Bridge in Renfrew. Every year, on April 28, the labour movement across Canada and around the world pauses to remember killed and injured workers and stress that more should be done to prevent such incidents. The Day of Mourning was created in Canada by CUPE members and first observed in 1984. It is now observed in more than 100 countries worldwide. “No one should die because of their work, yet in Ontario a worker dies almost every day because of workplace hazards and incidents,” says CUPE in a news release about the Day of Mourning. “Worker deaths are tragedies not only for their families, but for the people they work with and for their communities. On this day, we stand in solidarity with workers around the world and share with each other a collective sense of loss.” By remembering those who have been killed or injured, workers remember why they must continue to fight for the health and safety of workers, adds the CUPE release. The Renfrew and District Labour Council also holds a Day of Mourning ceremony at the Pembroke Marina at 6:15 p.m. on April 28.

Sound of music trivia night judged a rocking good time Liz Wall
Seniors at Home
The ‘notes’ from the crowd may have been off at times, but the night ended on a ‘high note’. The first Music Trivia Night, a joint-fundraiser for Partners in Caring (PIC) and Seniors at Home (ABMSH) was a ‘musical’ success with $3,400 raised to be shared between the two non-for-profit local organizations. Organizers Wendy Knechtel of PIC and Liz Wall of ABMSH echoed together the success of the night and have many to thank for just that, a successful-first-timejoint-fundraiser. A total of 33 teams (250 folks) made-up of knowledgeable music lovers, and in some cases not so knowledgeable, together added to the fun, participation and support of the cause as by buying 50/50 tickets, bidding on the variety of items donated for the silent auction and enjoying refreshments from the goodwill canteen. All of the support added up to
Thank you to all the local business and individuals who donated towards both the silent auction and door prize list: Ottawa Valley Thrift Store, Rona-Arnprior, Rexall, Ottawa Senators, Funding Innovation, Friends of Seniors and Jennifer Phillips-Renwick of Silpada Designs Jewellery.

Spring has sprung, the grass is riz ... and the robins are building a nest in my outdoor light, so that must mean no more of that four-letter stuff, starting with S. Great to have longer daylight and the smell of grass and leaves being raked for the spring clean-up. The Arnprior Legion branch is starting to get into the spring fling feel as well. Always things to be repaired , rebuilt or just plain everyday maintenance jobs to keep the place spruced up. Looking forward to warm and dry weather so the parking lot can have its finishing touches and the parking spaces marked. I’m sure that will make a
big difference and help the parking problem. Hope we don’t have to hire a parking attendant to keep cars between the lines. Things are going well in the kitchen area with hamburgers still flipping out of there every Friday, Monday nights’ bingo-goers keep the kitchen busy with French fries and goodies, the last Saturday of the month is still the best deal and breakfast in town, and there’s always a catering job to keep them busy. Don’t forget the Saturday afternoon entertainment twice a month. The next one is this Saturday, April 23 and I think I saw Simon Clarke mentioned somewhere in the near future. Stay tuned. It seems impossible that a year has passed sooo fast, but here it is election time again for the Arn-
prior Legion. There are a lot of members at this branch, but unfortunately not enough show much interest in how it’s run. If you want a change, say so. Come to the general and election meetings. Tell the committee your opinions and or run for a position. At the very least come out and support the committee that is trying to do a good job for you, the members. If you’re happy with the committee, tell them that too. Do come out and vote. Elections will be held this Sunday, April 24 at 1300 hours (1 p.m.). Doors will be locked at 1 p.m. and no one will be allowed in after that time. That’s all for this time folks. See you at the Legion on Sunday, April 24 at 1 p.m.

Mary’s churning chore left lasting impression Why I was singled out to churn the cream into butter every Saturday was beyond me! It was like all the other chores Mother thought suited someone of my young age. Bringing in the wood to fill the wood box, making sure the basin under the icebox didn’t run over. and emptying the Gerry pots when needed, Mother deemed were all jobs I could handle. But it was churning every Saturday that irked me the most. That was because it took most of the morning, when I could be doing other things I enjoyed more, like playing with my dolls, visiting with my friend Velma or reading the one book I was allowed to take out of the Renfrew library.
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
As soon as my other chores were done, without saying a word, Mother handed me the big white pinny, which went from under my chin right down to dragging on the floor. The little wood barrel would already be in front of a kitchen chair, with the wood plunger floating
Rarely Available. Custom Executive.
around on the cream inside. There was a round wood disc fitted on the top of the barrel, and the hole in the centre was larger in size than the plunger, which also caused me concern. Because once I started working the plunger up and down, blobs of cream would escape, and it wasn’t unusual to
have my apron, and even my face splattered. I learned early at the job that sitting on a cushion helped keep my bottom from falling asleep from the constant movement on the kitchen chair, but nothing could save the ache I felt in my arms within minutes of churning. My arms were thin ... in fact, my hateful brother Emerson once said they looked like sticks from the old gnarled tree in our back yard. And by the time only a few minutes had passed at the churning, I ached something fierce from shoulders right down to my fingertips. The cream turned faster, I thought, if it had been well chilled before being put in the churn. And so in the winter, or early
spring, the job didn’t take as long. But as the days got warmer, and the cream had been in the milk can overnight in the summer kitchen, it seemed to take forever to turn it into butter. I once asked Mother how old I had to be to taken off the job, but she reminded me, since I was the youngest, it would be my chore for just about the rest of my life! And she patted me on the head, smiling, as if that would compensate. And I pictured in my mind being the only one left on the farm with my three brothers and sister all off to exciting jobs in far away places, and me left with the churning every Saturday.

Hike for Hospice May 1 promoted as a county-wide fundraiser Sherry Haaima
sherry.haaima@metroland.com
Organizers are urging people from all over Renfrew County, including the Arnprior area, to support Hospice Renfrew’s major fundraiser, Hike for Hospice. The annual event will be held Sunday, May 1 raises funds for the hospice that serves are large area of the Upper Ottawa Valley. “Gather together as a team, round up your family, friends and pets, get some fresh air and exercise, have loads of fun and be eligible for one of our great prizes,” says promotion for the event. It’s the 10th year for the hike, and among the changes this year is a new location – MaTe-Way Park in Renfrew.
The theme for this year’s event is ‘It takes a team!’ The hike consists of a three-kilometre walk or a five-kilometre run and there are team challenges and prizes for the highest amount raised and best team costume. It includes a corporate/business challenge, first responder team challenge, media group challenge and high school challenge, in which students can receive five of their community service hours. Executive director Maureen SullivanBentz of Arnprior said organizers are really trying to expand the hike to people who might not have experienced hospice. “It’s important for us to expand and make all of Renfrew County aware of the services and programs we have to offer, including respite care and pain and symptom manage-
ment,” she said. “It’s really important for us to get that message out there.” Hospice needs more ambassadors, she said, and officials are trying to engage youth and others and let them know about volunteer and fundraising opportunities. That’s where this year’s new team challenges come in, complete with prizes for top teams. There’s also high school team challenge. “We’d like to see all high schools in Renfrew County get involved,” said SullivanBentz. Students can receive five community service honours for their participation. “The more we break down barriers and get people through the front door, the better,” she said. There’s a focus on having a little something for everyone. “We’re really promoting
that it’s a family event,” said Sullivan-Bentz. “There’ll be more things for kids this year.” Hospice Renfrew first opened its doors in 2008. The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care provides funding for close to 50 per cent of Hospice Renfrew operations. “As a result, we depend greatly on community support to provide the necessary additional funds in order that we may provide services to our residents and their families,” said Sullivan-Bentz. Registration for Hike for Hospice starts at 1 p.m. and the walk begins at 2 p.m. Register your team at www.HikeForHospiceRenfrew. ca. More info is available by calling hospice 613-433-3993 or emailing events@hospicerenfrew.ca.
Mary Cook: churning chore Continued from Page 36
I tried not to look at the ticking clock on the kitchen wall. Which, to me, moved at a snail’s pace. And then, I would hear the sound of the plunger changing. No longer did the cream slosh against the sides of the churn. It got harder and harder to pound down the cream, and I would know the time had come to lift the wood disc, and peer inside. And there it would be, butter! Mother would come and look inside and agree, the chore was over! She ladled it out into a big granite bowl, and put drops of yellow food colouring into it, stirring it well. The next job would be piling it into the wood mold to come up with pounds just like you could buy in Renfrew. Each pound was then wrapped in wax paper, ready to sell door-to-door in town. I was so stiff when I finished, I could hardly get off the chair, and my arms would ache well into the day. And I would go over to the creton couch by the cook stove and lay down and close my eyes, still wearing the big pinny and yet to wash my arms and face of the cream splatters. And for the longest time after, I would hear in my head the steady plop of the plunger. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Legion tricks on April 1 bury Knights’ comeback hopes
The top team in this year’s Arnprior Knights-Legion euchre competition is Kathleen Girdwood and Wilma Stewart of the Legion.
Early in morning of Saturday, April 2, a mass grave was discovered behind the St. John Chrysostom parish hall in Arnprior. Strangely enough there were no bodies, only a mass of scoresheets and playing cards that may have belonged to the Knights of Columbus Euchre Challenge team. Go figure! It’s rumoured that the Knights who went to Las Vegas to learn how to play euchre are demanding their money back. Good luck with that one! The last of the six Arnprior Knights-Legion challenges was held on April 1 with the Legion once again winning by 13 games, bringing their total victories to 109. The top team for the evening was Jacky Connell and Norma Dewar with 8 wins, 9 points.
The ‘skunk’ parade continued with the Knights taking complete control of this part of the competition. The latest casualties included Bob Lee\Bruce MacKay, John and Shirley Rice, Marilyn Robertson\ Ghislaine Pernell, and the Legion team of Madeleine Hanes\Barb Heise. The overall top challenge team in this year’s competition was Wilma Stewart and Kathleen Girdwood (Legion) who finished with a remarkable 41 wins, 67 points followed closely by Howie Robbins\ Brian White with 39 wins, 83 points. This year’s competition was a huge success and the profits (close to $900) will be donated to the Arnprior District Food Bank and The Cowboy Bob Adkins and Uncle Dan Lynch of the LeNeighbourlink Fountain. gion hoist the Challenge Trophy.
Final Arnprior Agriculture Society euchre set for this Saturday The Arnprior Agricultural Society held the third of four 4-hand euchre tournaments on March 26 at the Arnprior Legion. The society congratulates the winner ($710 in prize money
awarded): 1st-place team ($300 prize) – Enis Poirier and Dave Code; 2nd-place team ($200) – Gerry Mertin, Gib Johnston; 3rd-place team ($100) – Gail Ar-
gue, Marilyn Dalgliesh; 4th-place team ($50) – Hans S, Gary Turner; 5th-place teams in a three-way tie ($20 for each team – Maizie Parks, Theresa Lavigne; Gerald
Stanton, Gary Fisher; Kathleen Girdwood, Wilma Stewart. The society hopes to see you at its final euchre tournament this Saturday, April 23 at the Royal Canadian Legion in Arnprior. “Let’s
make it the biggest one yet.” It costs $20 per person to play. Team scores determine the winners. Registration and a light lunch runs from noon to 1 p.m. when the tournament starts.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, now is time to channel your energy in a creative way to inspire others. You can achieve great things when you work with others as a cohesive team. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, there is time for fun and there is time to get serious, and you may have difficulty distinguishing between the two. Find someone who can guide you. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, share your insight on a project if you have ideas on a different approach. If you keep your thoughts bottled up, frustration can fester and aggravate you. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You need to take an intellectual approach to handling some trouble that has come your way. Thinking rationally can help you, as can taking time to find the best solution. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, let someone else take over the reins this week. You can use a break and this is a good chance to see what others around you are capable of accomplishing. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Consider a new approach to personal interactions, Virgo. By being more open to others’ opinions, you may get to see another side of the equation. It’s important to be receptive.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, do something spontaneous instead of weighing all of the options this time around. It’s good to be act on instinct once in a while. This could be just what you need. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, a disagreement could quickly boil over if you are not around to put out the flame. You thrive as a mediator, as many people look up to you and trust your opinions. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, spending too much time indoors is not good for you. Try to get out and socialize a bit more this week, taking in some new sights while you’re at it. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you can see what you want to achieve just hovering in the distance, but right now you do not have the means to get there. A little patience is warranted. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, the more things have been going your way, the more you feel confident everything will fall in line this week. Just don’t get too ahead of yourself. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 If you want your ideas to be valued, you’ll have to speak up a little more, Pisces. Don’t be afraid to express confidence in your abilities. 0421

WAteR mAin FlUshing – Almonte WARD APRil 25 – mAy 20 The Corporation of the Municipality of Mississippi Mills will be flushing the water mains in all areas of Almonte Ward beginning Monday, April 25th, 2016 to Friday, May 20th, 2016, during the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. (excluding weekends). This annual maintenance program is designed to remove the sediment that has accumulated in the water mains to maintain good water quality in the distribution system. This maintenance procedure is required under the Provincial Legislation and may result in temporary inconveniences to you such as reduced water pressure or red (discoloured) water. ➢
Reduced water pressure should only be intermittent as the hydrants are being flushed. The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is completed.
➢
If you detect discoloured (red) water, turn off your tap for 20 to 30 minutes; this should allow work crews enough time to complete the flushing. When work crews have left the area, turn on one COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush the system.
This program focuses on introducing kids to soccer and team sports. Our primary focus is having fun and promoting fitness as a lifestyle. Registration: Date: Wednesday April 27, 2016 Location: Stewart Community Centre – (Pakenham arena) Time: 6:30 p.m – 8:30 p.m Ages: 4-12 years Cost : $50.00/child $120.00/family Season will run Monday’s & Wednesday 6:30 p.m – 7:30 p.m from May 30 – July 20th.
We are looking for volunteer coaches this year and ask that everyone who registers consider helping out with this rewarding opportunity. A coaching workshop will be held Tuesday May 24th from 6:30 p.m – 7:30 p.m at the Pakenham arena. Please sign up at registration. 48 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, April 21, 2016
