Looking for stores Arnprior receives grant money for retail study, new signage News - The Town of Arnprior has received grants to study what retail businesses are needed in town and for new signage. Both initiatives are integral parts of the town’s push to attract new development to Arnprior. The town was awarded almost $45,000 from the Ontario Ministry of Rural Affairs as part of the Rural Economic Development Program. The Town is receiving $12,995 toward a commercial retail and service business opportunity study. In the re-branding survey put out by the Town last May, there was a consistent message of the need for more commercial and services in Arnprior, as residents oftern have to travel outside the town to retrieve many everyday items. The town’s marketing and economic development officer Lindsay Wilson noted that the study is needed to provide the required data and numbers that potential investors, retailers and developments require before considering Arnprior as a location for their store or development. The survey is expected to show
exactly what retail gaps may exist in the market and show that Arnprior has the demand to support these entities that will be a key factor in attracting these missing stores and developments. The Town will also receive $31,445.57 to allow for the replacement of the current westbound highway sign along with adding an eastbound highway sign. The grant will also allow for branded gateway signs to be added at the Town’s borders. The need for improved signage was mentioned multiple times in the town’s First Impressions Community Exchange Report as well as during the process of developing the Town of Arnprior’s Community Improvement Plan. It was apparent in the business, merchant and resident survey that “signage on highways to promote Arnprior is viewed as the most effective advertising approach,” said Wilson. New signage will also complete the Town’s recent re-branding process, which through community input resulted in a new logo.

ing for clarification of the group’s role, committee members have been boycotting the meetings. While chair of the committee Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie, and standing committee member Coun. Bob Campbell have been in attendance, the absence of advisory members for the past several months has led to no quorum at the meetings since November. Committee members spoke to coun-

Hall of fame step-dancer mourned John Carter john.carter@metroland.com
‘BUSTER’ BROWN with keeping the lumberjack’s jig alive. Brown won several awards and captured the North American Step Dancing Champion
and thrived. Brown’s Canadian Steppers, a hand-picked group of young dancers, became famous in their own right. Many of his students followed his lead by becoming teachers too. His students include such luminaries as April Verch and Jon and Nathan Pilatzke. Brown was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Hall of Fame in 2003. Brown funeral was held at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Saturday. In memory of Brown, donations to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute are being accepted. For more, see the obituary in the Chronicle-Guide’s classified pages in this edition.

News – A local step-dancing legend died last week. Harry Jack ‘Buster’ Brown of the Arnprior area died at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute on April 15 at the age of 63. A member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame, Brown was a talented fiddler and step-dancer. He helped ensure both talents continued to flourish in the Valley, as he was also a popular teacher. Brown started step-dancing in Ottawa at the age of 9 and was teaching by the age of 12. He learned his first steps from Donnie Gilchrist, the granddaddy of step-dancing who is credited
title for three consecutive years before retiring from competitions. He toured with Don Messer across Canada and was occasionally flown in to Messer’s Jubilee show in Halifax to perform. At 16 he travelled across Canada and the U.S. with Messer for three months, performing 72 one-night shows. Over the years he entertained on television and jamborees with such artists as Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Mel Tillis, Graham Townsend and Al Cherny. He made a career out of both performing and teaching, instructing hundreds of students to help ensure the Ottawa Valley stepdancing traditions survived

Recreation committee frustrations brought to a head mayor say that programming is a priority for the recreation committee. But I’m disappointed that it took four months to tell us that.

Programming should be front and centre for the committee, rather than spending hours discussing how much is it to buy chalk to line a soccer field, he said. “We feel we are getting bogged down in the nuts and bolts,” he said. “Where do you want us to zero in?

Mayor Mary Campbell said she echoed the sentiments of councillors Aldene Styles and Brad McIlquham who said they believe the committee should be consulted concerning major recreation decisions. Council and committees are governed by the municipal act, which stipulates what advisory versus standard committees can do. “The people have two votes,” said Campbell. “Standing committees might be collaborative and they might be not.’ The provincial directives are pretty specific on healthy communities, said Campbell, adding she attended a recent meeting on healthy communities and was disappointed with the lack of committee presence. “You may be frustrated with council, I’m frustrated that we’re not getting further on that directive and I expect the recreation committee to advise council. We need a policy statement,” said Campbell. “There’s no question recreation is important in our community – that we have to spend more money than we do,” she said. “I expect those programs to come out of both the recreation director and the committee for consideration,” said Campbell. In particular, said Campbell, she would like to see the committee come back to council with recommendations on several options put forward to fill the gap left when council ended shared recreation agreements with Arnprior and Renfrew. The ideas have been outlined in budget discussions and in the mayor’s report, said Campbell. Among the issues faced by the committee is what the group’s focus should be. Committee member Jason Marshall said he appreciates the passion with which the mayor spoke about recreation. “We share that passion, that’s why we signed up,” he said. “There was an ad looking for forward-thinking people. We’re passionate about youth programs, adults programs, and programs for seniors.”

The town will spend, from its existing budget, up to $90,000 for repairs or replacement of sidewalk panels in the downtown core. According to a report by public works director Guy Bourgon: “Recently, there have been some falls reported to the town where it is claimed that the sidewalk irregularities were the cause of the falls.� New sidewalks will be installed on some of the affected streets but not for another five years or so, he added. About $200,000 a year will be needed across the municipality going forward to keep up with current standards. SUBDIVISION SUPPORTED
Peter Smith has sold his Glen Meadows Estates subdivi-
sion on Russett Drive just over the Arnprior border in McNabBraeside to Scott McEwan of McEwan Homes. Their long dispute over a road alignment is at an end now that McEwan, who also owns the adjacent Village Creek subdivision, found a way to align Russett and Desmond Trudeau drives. Arnprior council directed staff at its April 14 meeting to provide a letter to the county and McNab-Braeside that it has no comments or concerns with the change. SUCCESSION PLANS
The town’s top bureaucrat, Michael Wildman, tabled a Succession Plan report to council at the April 14 meeting. The chief administrative officer said the plan is meant to cut down on staff turnover costs by finding ways to prepare existing staff for promotions along with retaining corporate knowledge that is often lost when an employee leaves. It should also help stave off burn-out and poor morale. Among the finds to date is the average age of a full-time town worker is 43.5, while the average retirement year is
2035. There are 49 employees. “This is an evolving best practice,� Wildman said. “We’re not there yet, but Arnprior is somewhat leading the charge. Not many municipalities have succession plans.� RINK UPGRADE
Council okayed the purchase and installation of a new dehumidifier in Arena B. It will cost $33,580. Recreation services director Glenn Arthur reminded council that it was requested in 2012, at the same time as the Arena A dehumidifier was replaced. He indicated that after 31 years the machine is on its last legs. “The duct tape is becoming unstuck,� Arthur said. CIMCO is the only viable maker of the moisture-removing machines, therefore no tender was issued. HOUSING TASK FORCE
Council nominated Mayor David Reid as a potential member of a provincial Housing Task Force that will look at accommodation issues for people with a developmental disability. Reid has expertise and personal experience in a number of the areas under consideration, and expressed to council his keen interest in participating.

Minister reiterates importance of Highway 417 expansion

Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Glen Murray has repeated comments he made in Arnprior last month regarding the importance of extending the four-laning of Highway 17 up the Upper Ottawa Valley to Pembroke. Above, work near Scheel Drive. “I’m pleased that Minister Murray has publically identiďŹ ed the importance of this project,â€? agreed Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet, chair of the county’s development and property committee. “The twinning of Highway 17 through the county will improve economic development opportunities and will signiďŹ cantly strengthen all county communities in efforts to attract investment, labour, talent, and tourists.â€? Last month, a small contingent of elected representatives and staff from Arnprior and the County of Renfrew met with Murray at Arnprior’s Town Hall. The Minister was invited to the session by Stack, who had talked to the Minister in February at the Good Roads Conference in Toronto. At the meeting, the Minister was presented with the report from the county that stressed that the twinning of Highway 17 creates a ‘critical link’ to other major highways in the county and beyond. Murray was also taken on a tour of the four-laning work on the highway between Campbell and Scheel drives. MPP SKEPTICAL
While pleased with Murray’s recognition of how important the continuing of the four-laning is to his riding, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski is concerned about how the government will get the money to pay for the $29-billion transportation program. Noting details of the funding are lacking, he said he fears shufing the gas tax will be only part of the equation, with new taxes likely. He also noted that more than half of the money will be spent in the Toronto and Hamilton areas,
leaving the minority to be split between projects in the rest of the project. The infrastructure investments mentioned by Wynne and Murray are highlighted in the province’s Rural Roadmap. The report, released last week, outlines key government priorities aimed at building on the strengths of Ontario’s rural communities. They include: • Developing a small, rural and northern municipal infrastructure program based on consultations with community leaders that will provide more predictable, reliable and sustained funding for consideration in the 2014 Ontario budget that will be unveiled May 1. • Focusing on manufacturing rural Ontario’s second largest industry based on employment - to ensure the industry will continue to innovate, grow and successfully compete in today’s economy. • Continuing to provide ruralspeciďŹ c health care investments through the Small and Rural Hospital Transformation Fund, which has funded patient care improvements in up to 64 hospi-
tals across the province. • Continuing to revitalize communities, create jobs and grow local and regional economies through the Rural Economic Development Program. • Advancing a framework to help grow rural Ontario’s digital economy and working to address the existing gaps in rural Ontario’s broadband connectivity. • Creating a formal process to ensure government policies and programs reect the needs and realities of rural communities. In a news release, the provincial government said that since 2003 the province has invested more than $167 million in 468 Rural Economic Development Program projects, generating more than $1.2 billion in local economic activity and creating more than 35,000 jobs. Every dollar invested in building or renewing infrastructure gives $1.14 back to Ontario’s GDP, it adds. The province also claims that doctor recruiting efforts have resulted in 95 per cent of rural residents now having access to a family doctor.

News - Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Glen Murray has repeated comments he made in Arnprior last month regarding the importance of extending the four-laning of Highway 17 up the Upper Ottawa Valley to Pembroke. The remarks came as a followup to an announcement by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne on April 14 that the provincial government’s $29-billion transportation plan will be funded in part by redirecting gas taxes. She said the aim of the plan is to spend about $15 billion in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area and up to $14 billion in the rest of the province over the next 10 years. In an interview on CBC Radio April 15, Murray mentioned Renfrew County and the continued twinning of Highway 17. When asked about the government’s plan to widen highways, Murray said: “People do need to commute ‌ up to Arnprior we are extending the twinning of the 417 and we are expanding that, and that’s important because we need those highways for commercial truck trafďŹ c. All the way up through Arnprior to Pembroke, they have to get that same quality of highway that other people do.â€? In a County of Renfrew news release, Warden Peter Emon said he was pleased to hear Murray cite components of the county’s report that focused on the need for the continued twinning of Highway 17. “I was happy to hear Minister Murray speciďŹ cally mention the expansion of Highway 17, and I was also pleased to hear his comments about the expansion through to Pembroke,â€? he said. “I believe our business case has made a solid impact, and brought into sharp focus the necessity of investment in our highway infrastructure that will enable us to be competitive with other areas that have direct access to fourlane highways.â€? “Transportation is vital to the County’s economic success, the only means of moving people and goods is by road,â€? added Arnprior Reeve Walter Reeve Stack, the chair of the county’s operations committee, “Rail service and other infrastructure have been removed from Renfrew County, and this has created a signiďŹ cant disadvantage for the county, leaving us totally reliant on the highway system. I applaud Minister Murray’s comments to continue the expansion of Highway 17 through to Pembroke to provide the county with a more effective and safer route for families, recreational use, commercial trafďŹ c and commuters.â€?

Township develops policy to defend property owners
McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell pins the chief stripes on new fire chief Dave Hartwick at the April 15 meeting of council. Firefighters from McNab-Braeside and Arnprior filled council chambers for the presentation.
Derek Dunn
News – McNab-Braeside may have a unique answer for a problem that continues to hinder non-urban development. Mayor Mary Campbell says the provincial government is content to watch rural growth decline. It views non-urban areas as spaces for recreation, agriculture and resource extraction, she said. The latter can be developed with few people nearby to complain about smells and other rights’ violations. “The province doesn’t want rural development,” she said. “It wants us all living in concrete jungles.” One strategy the province deploys to limit rural growth is the Endangered Species Act, says Campbell. It limits a landowner’s activities on their private property, should a rare plant or animal be found nearby. In McNab-Braeside, the act has proven costly for three local landowners looking to sever land for resale or building. It cost them thousands of dollars each to conduct environmental assessments. Plus it costs them time because of delays related to the shortage in geologists. “I respect the province’s goals to protect (endangered) species, but it’s over the top,” Campbell said. “Is the environmental assessment process holding back development? You bet it is.” Going too far, in her opinion, is the prov-
ince placing strenuous limits on development in – not just rural areas – but in township settlements. It did just that in Glasgow, in one of the three instances cited above. However, it is in another instance, in Waba, that Campbell thinks her council has found an innovative solution. In that case, the property is adjacent to hundreds of acres of woodland and barren fields for the at-risk species in question to thrive. McNab-Braeside created a policy that says if the property backs onto a large area of wilderness with plenty of room for the endangered species, the severance ought to be approved. Campbell said it is similar to an innovative solution Renfrew County staff came up with when it came to developments on land harbouring unique karst bedrock. Rather than a blanket definition and application of the rules, staff determined there can be younger and more mature karst. Development will be allowed on the one but not the other. “Like the karst example, we are going to be (site) specific,” she said. “We don’t want to fly in the face of (provincial) policy, but rural Ontario is going to (bear the) burden the costs for all these new rules.” Severances are not always rejected, as often a plan is worked out that involves large buffer zones and other compromises. And McNabBraeside’s policy has yet to be tested. But Campbell is confident it will be when another landowner in the township applies to sever property.

Full house for fire chief appointment Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
News – It’s official. McNab-Braeside Township has a new fire chief. Dave Hartwick was at the April 15 council meeting to be presented with his stripes and for the passing of the bylaw appointing him chief. In an overwhelming show of support, firefighters from McNab-Braeside and the Town of Arnprior, including chief John Okum, filled council chambers for the presentation. “It is with great delight, chief Hartwick, that your township has officially appointed you to a very responsible position,” said Mayor Mary Campbell. Hartwick, a former deputy chief, is one of the township’s longest standing firefighters, having held positions of captain and district chief. The chief’s job has been modified from parttime and now carries additional duties. “You’re the first full time chief with the added responsibility for inspection and prevention,” Campbell told Hartwick. She praised the department’s efforts. “I also would like to extend council’s appreciation to our volunteer fire department,”
said Campbell. “You’ve been through some exciting advances and uncomfortable changes and you’re still pulling together as a team. I’ve never been prouder of a department than I am of our fire department.” History speaks to the department’s efficiency, she said, making note of extensive flooding that occurred in 2009. “I think back to the night of July 2009 when the flooding was going on and three teams of our department were out doing rescue responses at various parts of the township in constant communication,” said Campbell. “You are a shining example.” Handshakes and pats on the back followed the presentation. Well-wishers included Hartwick’s family members. “Congratulations, daddy,” said his daughter, giving him a big hug. Mayor Campbell made note of the fact former chiefs Glenn Styles and Rob Dodge were also in attendance. “It’s always on the shoulders of those of us who come before us,” she said. “Thanks for coming.” Hartwick replaces former chief Ken Walton who resigned in December. Hartwick has been acting chief since the resignation.
Rec programming a priority Deadbolt Continued from Page 3
“That’s why we asked this simple question four months ago. That’s why we volunteer our time for the people of this community.” Marshall is looking to ahead and hopes progress can be made. “I plan on attending the next committee meeting and discussing recreation programming for the township. I heard loud and clear that programming should be a priority for our committee. Let’s hope the mayor and council heard our message loud and clear that there is a communication problem that needs to be addressed.” Committee members Ryan Marcellus agrees with Marshall. “I too am upset with the amount of time it took for council to ‘listen’ to our concerns, which unfortunately might not have even happened if we hadn’t requested to be ‘heard’ as a dele6 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, April 24, 2014
gation. Oddly enough, when we were being publicly berated by the mayor, she wasn’t addressing the question that we came to council for clarification on,” said Marcellus. “Instead, we were told about four ideas that council had been considering to help offset costs for program users of the Nick Smith Centre. We did not ask anything about user agreements to initiate this discussion, we just wanted clarification on our scope of work as a committee. Apparently our request to attend as a delegation created an opportunity for the mayor to showcase what council has been doing/ considering without the help or input of the recreation committee in a public forum,” he said. Because the regular recreation committee meeting date for April had passed, it was expected a new date would be set for members to get back to the table.
does its job News - OPP report that overnight on Saturday, April 12 someone attempted to kick in the back door of a home on Second Avenue in Arnprior. The suspect was unable to break the door as it was secured with a deadbolt. However, damage was done to the frame. Meanwhile, an ice chisel was stolen from the back of a pick-up parked at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital. The tool was stolen March 27 in the afternoon. A black tool box was stolen from a property on Burnstown Road. The tool box was on the lawn with a for-sale sign.

News – It’s a first for the township of McNab-Braeside. The McNab-Braeside Fire Department and the Firefighters Association will host the 2014 Eastern Ontario Auto Extrication Competition in early September. Council gave its stamp of approval for the event April 15 when new Fire Chief Dave Hartwick brought the proposal forward. District Chief Kevin Nicholson has taken the lead on organizing the event. The event will be held Sept. 12 and 13 at station one and in the township office parking lot on Russett Drive. Auto extrication competitions, which involve teams of firefighters working to rescue ‘patients’ trapped in damaged vehicles, are held worldwide and are quite competitive, Nicholson told council. The volunteer ‘patients’ will wear microphones so officials and spectators can hear what’s going on.
“This will benefit our township in many ways,” said Nicholson. “It will help showcase our many recreational and business opportunities.” The world championships will be held in Rochester, NY, two weeks after the local contest. Just now in the planning stages, the event is a boon for the area but will certainly require some hard work to pull off. “It is quite an on-taking but we have the resources to make it happen,” said Nicholson. Opening ceremonies will be held Friday evening for competitors and delegates. A full day of competition and trade show will run Saturday, followed by closing ceremonies. Local dignitaries, members of the Ontario Provincial Police and other emergency services, will be invited to attend ceremonies and watch the competition. A maximum of eight teams will compete in the competition, coming
from across Eastern Ontario and the Maritimes. A possible seven volunteer judges will come from across the country. Local volunteers will be needed for various aspects of the event as well. Two cars will be needed for each team. All competing teams will be registered with the governing body for extrication competitions in Canada, the Transportation Emergency Rescue Committee (TERC Canada). “This is a really wonderful opportunity as a learning exercise,” said Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie. Mayor Mary Campbell congratulated the department on the project and said although the department was not yet looking for any financial support for the event, it’s something the township is willing to get behind. “This is so cool that I’m about to try and convince council that even if we have to put money into it is really worthwhile,” said Campbell. “I’m so impressed that you guys have brought this opportunity.”
Impaired driver nabbed in Baskin Drive ditch News – An Arnprior senior citizen faces impaired driving charges after being nabbed while trying to manoeuvre his vehicle out of a ditch on Baskin Drive. Arnprior OPP report that they were tipped off that there was a vehicle in the ditch and the male driver was possibly impaired. Officers attended and say they found the man trying to drive the vehicle out of the ditch.
The man was arrested but refused to provide a sample of his breath. As a result, the 67-year-old Arnprior man was charged with impaired driving and refusing to provide a breath sample. He was released from custody on a promise to appear in Renfrew court on May 14. OPP Constable Steph Trembley investigated.

Stoop-and-scoop this spring
S
pring. Even the word sounds good. Relief after frostbite season. Unfortunately, spring also brings with it the evidence that some dog walkers aren’t doing their duty after their pet has done theirs. Parks, boulevards, sidewalks and pathways in some places are awash in poop and that’s no fun for anyone. The main pathway in Gillies Grove, everywhere in Robert Simpson Park, and McLean Park are notorious for dog poop. The vast majority of dog owners clean up after their pet. If they didn’t, we’d be knee deep in the stuff by now. So how do we convince the offending few to scoop? Do we need more laws and regulations? Pet owners would no doubt say “No.� And our bylaw officers have better things to do than stake out parks on the off-chance a bad owner will offend in plain view. Do we need better education? The town advises owners to scoop poop and take it home, where they should flush it down the toilet so that our sewage system can treat the dog dirt like it does our own. Why not use a garbage can in the park or the bin at home? Turns out all the poop that ends up in the trash will become part of the landfill, making it even more
of a challenge to prevent toxins from seeping into our waterways. Even if you own a dog and choose to use a garbage can, that’s a darn sight better than failing to scoop at all. Maybe we need to make things easier for all pet owners by providing better poop containers in the, shall we say, hotspots. That would take tax dollars. Some offenders may be children who don’t like the idea of carrying a bag of poop to the garbage or back home. If your son or daughter takes the dog out for a walk, why not insist they bring home what Rover eliminates, just to be sure your family isn’t part of the problem. In the end (no pun intended), if the problem gets worse, society will put in place penalties or regulations that affect all dog owners – the good and the bad. Maybe licence costs will rise to cover clean-up costs. Maybe a bylaw you disagree with will be passed. To avoid those potential pitfalls, pet owners should be at the forefront of making sure all owners scoop after their dogs. Use peer pressure. Use education. Carry an extra bag to clean up after an owner who gives you a bad name. After all, it’s dog owners that have the most to lose.
LETTERS
Respect shown by youth gives hope for the future To the Editor: I would like to bring to your attention an incident that occurred in Arnprior Saturday, April 11. My sister-in-law passed away one week prior to this date and the visitation was at the Pilon Funeral Home on this particular day. At around 5 p.m. we were carrying the casket out of the funeral home to the waiting hearse and across the street were three young men skateboarding up the sidewalk. When they saw the casket being carried, they stopped, picked up their skateboards and stood silently while the casket was being put into the waiting hearse. They then waited until the
hearse was driven away, walked past the pall bearers and family and then got back on their skateboards and continued on their way. I don’t know who these young gentlemen were, but I would like to thank them for their respectful behavior and also commend their parents and the community in which they have learned this behavior. There are not many kids today that would have shown the respect that these young boys and future men of your community have shown others. If these boys are an example of your youth today, there is lots of hope for the future. Thank you. Steve Silverman St. Lazare, Quebec

I would like to add that dogs in shelters like the Arnprior Humane Society and the Ottawa Humane Society go through behavioural assessments so that the shelter can ensure, as much as possible, a good match with a new owner. They want a successful adoption for both dog and new owner, and go through great lengths to make sure this happens. Another avenue of dog rescue is to adopt a dog from one of the amazing rescue groups in the Ottawa and surrounding Valley. Just google ‘Dog res-
To the Editor: An open letter to Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. The so-called Fair Elections Act is, in my opinion, an outright attack on Canadian democracy. One of the more egregious provisions, that of allowing the governing party to nominate the deputy returning officers and poll supervisors, is essentially asking the fox to guard the

rently three), I am a proponent of rescue. These dogs are most grateful for their second chance at the life they deserve. If you are considering adding a dog to your family, I urge you to consider giving a rescue dog a new lease on life. If you are looking for a specific breed, there are even breed specific rescues. If you must have a puppy, most rescues often have puppies as well. Adult dogs will bond with a new owner readily ‌ they seem to know they are getting a second chance. Senior dogs make wonderful companions, already being wise in the ways of this world. And don’t forget ... this can also all be said for cats too. Natalie Gaanderse Braeside

cues Ottawa’ and a list will pop up. These rescue groups take in owner surrender dogs, as well as strays, and dogs pulled from ‘high kill’ pounds. These dogs are placed in foster homes instead of a shelter environment, and thus the rescue group is able to determine if the dog is good with cats, kids, if there are training issues, etc. The foster homes will actually work on training, socializing and rehabilitation of both physical and emotional trauma if needed. A bonus is that these groups will have the dog vetted, spayed/ neutered and vaccinated. The adoption cost is a great deal since the cost of a spay surgery alone is often more than the adoption fee.

The new rigged Elections Act

To the editor: Opinion - Academics can be quite divided against one another on the particulars of abstract theories, so when they unite as did 160 scholars of democracy in a public criticism of the federal government’s “Fair” Elections Act, Canadians best pay attention. Their letter reads: “This bill contains proposals that would seriously damage the fairness and transparency of federal elections and diminish Canadians’ political participation … we are alarmed at the lack of due process in drafting the bill and in rushing it through Parliament.” The bill would end the use of voter cards and voter vouching, but “the use of voter cards is especially important for Canadians who lack ID that proves their current address, such as students, senior citizens in long-term care facilities, First Nations citizens, and those who have recently moved … In 2011, approximately 120,000 citizens relied on the vouching provision in order to vote.” The government end-
lessly misquotes the Harry Neufeld Report on its claim that vouching allows for voter fraud, when the report found no evidence of voter fraud and recommended keeping the vouching system. Neufeld estimates 250,000 to 500,000 citizens will be denied voting rights from loss of voter cards. “Bizarrely, the bill forbids Elections Canada from promoting democratic participation and voting through “get out the vote” campaigns. Elections Canada would even be prevented from publishing its research reports on the electoral process. “(Bill C-23) exempts fundraising costs from campaign spending limits as long as fundraising is targeted at previous donors of more than $20. This introduces two biases into the campaign finance rules. “First, it disadvantages parties whose donors can contribute only small amounts. Second, it favours parties that have built their donor lists over those that have not. “Bill C-23 requires Elec-
tions Canada to appoint central poll supervisors from lists of names provided by the candidate or party that came first in the last election, favouring incumbents and their parties.” Nineteen politics professors of six other developed democracies have also echoed these concerns in their own letter, as have five provincial and federal chief electoral officers, former Auditor General Sheila Fraser, the Institute for Research on Public Policy, Fair Vote Canada, Democracy Watch, and The Globe and Mail editors. Former Reform Party leader Preston Manning has called for the bill to be amended to strengthen, rather than reduce, the independence of Elections Canada. Citizens should demand that MP Cheryl Gallant reverse her vote for reduced debate, so that democracy may remain real for us all, not just an academic theory refuted by self-serving politicians who rig elections.

Dam plans at First Chute distressing To the editor: It was with distress that I read of a 1.7megawatt hydro-electric dam to be built on the Bonnechere River in Horton Township just upstream from where it meets the Ottawa River, also called First Chute. It is here where I have made my first kayak outing for several years now, to watch the water pound over the large boulders and cascade down the chute into a strong current, which I ride back down the Bonnechere to watch the pickerel swim towards the shallow silt area to lay their eggs, to see the osprey nest in the tall dead pine tree and watch the great blue herons along the shore and sometimes to stop along the shoreline to have a picnic while watching the waterfalls. The landscape is rough, just like the Cana-
dian wilderness, with cliffs, boulders, evergreen trees and a quietness that is healing. I fear for the appearance of this area after hydro completes the dam. I can close my eyes and see the area depleted of the beauty that is there, with trees cut to make a roadway into the chute so the dam can be built; the water cascading over the boulders will be enclosed by an ugly mammoth of cement. The beauty will be gone and once again man will destroy a natural habitat. My question is, when will this madness end and the natural beauty be left for our children and our children’s children to enjoy in future generations? Fay Tucker Arnprior
Stop act, Gallant, to keep our standing Continued from Page 8
Our Canadian electoral structure has long been a model of integrity to others in the world who are struggling, sometimes dying, to achieve what we have. This act will not only compromise our own
system, but dramatically further damage Canada’s standing in the world. Please exercise all your influence in Caucus and in public to prevent this act from going forward. Joseph Federer Horton

Moose hunting cuts anger hunters group News - The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) says it is “shocked” by the decision of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to “drastically reduce” moose hunting opportunities for licensed hunters. In a news release, the OFAH says the changes will result in fewer moose tags being granted in some areas and no guaranteed group size this year. For example, there will be an 87 per cent reduction in adult moose tags available this year compared to 2013 in Thunder Bay and 93 per cent in the Kirkland Lake area. The OFAH admits it is concerned about declining moose popu-
lations throughout northern Ontario, but says hunters are growing increasingly frustrated with the ministry’s lack of progress on its review of moose management in Ontario. MANY FACTORS
The OFAH is calling on the MNR to look at the full suite of factors acting on moose populations, including reproductive rates, predation, poaching, disease, habitat quality (in the wake of fire suppression efforts and declining forestry activity), overlap with deer populations, and harvest by Aboriginal hunters.
The OFAH recommends the MNR increase moose aerial onventories and assess the impact of the above factors. “We don’t believe the MNR exhausted all its management options prior to hitting moose hunters so hard,” said OFAH senior wildlife biologist Mark Ryckman. “Fewer moose hunting opportunities means fewer moose licences are sold and less money is contributed to the province’s Special Purpose Account (SPA),”, added Ryckman. The SPA is dedicated to the management of fish and wildlife resources and cannot afford any further declines, he said.

Turkey hunting seasons expanded News – Nothing says springtime like the sound of a distant gobble in the turkey woods. The spring turkey hunting season starts this Friday, April 25 and runs to Saturday, May 31. This season offers more opportunities for Ontario hunters than ever before. Sustainable wild turkey populations in Ontario have allowed for additional spring and fall hunting opportunities. For the first time, the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has introduced new spring turkey hunting seasons in Wildlife Management Units in the Sudbury, North Bay and Parry Sound districts. As well, a new fall hunting season will take place in WMU 59 (Pembroke district). The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunt-
ers (OFAH), along with other advocates, began working with the MNR more than 25 years ago to restore wild turkeys in the province. “The reintroduction of the eastern wild turkey to Ontario is one of the province’s most successful wildlife recovery stories,” said OFAH biologist Dawn Sucee. “With more than 70,000 birds estimated in Ontario, populations seem to have stabilized in many areas. ” The additional turkey hunting opportunities were established using information submitted by hunters. Mandatory turkey harvest reporting enables MNR biologists to analyze populations and make recommendations. Successful turkey hunters must report their harvested bird by no later than noon the day after it was harvested.

Voices of the living dead now fill the night Lifestyle - Nature never fails to amaze. Every time there is a challenge to solve, she comes up with not one but myriad solutions. For example, sub-zero temperatures cause problems for all living things. Water inside animal bodies turns to ice and cells burst, destroying tissues and causing death. To prevent this, some animals put on layers of fat and extra hair or feathers for insulation. Others lower their heart rate and body temperature, entering a deep sleep called hibernation. This takes place in sites that remain above the freezing point. Many more animals migrate south where temperatures remain balmy all winter. Other animals, especially insects, remain here exposed to freezing temperatures. They survive in two ways. One is by pumping antifreeze into their liquids to keep them fluid regardless of how far the mercury drops. This is called “supercooling.� Most insects that spend the winter above ground supercool. The other way is to keep cell contents from freezing but to allow ice to form between the cells in a controlled manner. This behaviour is called “freeze tolerance.� After a very long winter, amphibians are finally beginning to stir. Recently the rocking chair creaks of Chorus Frogs, the duck-like quacks of Wood Frogs and the shrill peeps of Spring Peepers have been heard. These frogs, along with the soonto-be heard Gray Tree Frogs, are unusual in the amphibian world because they don’t spend winter dormant in the bottom of lakes and large ponds (as do Bullfrogs and Leopard Frogs) but are held in the grasp of the frozen ground. In the autumn those frogs bury themselves under the soil and freeze as the earth around them freezes. These frogs are freeze-tolerant! During the winter, freeze-tolerant frogs lie lifeless and frozen in the ground. More than half of their body is frozen with only their most vital of or-
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way gans are protected from freezing. When warmer temperatures reach their bodies, the little frogs slowly thaw. Almost immediately after coming back to life, they seek out the first ice-less ponds from where the males fill the night air with their strident calls. Being freeze-tolerant offers two big advantages over other frogs.
They do not have to perform dangerous migrations in the fall to reach favourable overwintering sites. And most importantly they awaken early in the spring while larger bodies of water remain icebound. These frogs prefer to mate and lay their eggs in small woodland pools known as ephemeral ponds. Ephemeral or spring ponds are often created by melting snow and are important sites for freeze-tolerant frogs as well as salamanders. The pools lack fish and thus are safe sites in which to lay eggs and have tadpoles develop. The downside is that the ponds dry up quickly, so the users must have very short development stages. After all the snow we have had this winter, plus the current flurry of showers, there should be plenty of ephemeral ponds this year. This could well result in an even louder chorus of the Lazarus frogs next spring!

ADHS actors set for An Awfully Big Adventure Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
Community – The Arnprior District High School performing arts team has taken on an awfully big challenge. And they’re ready to unveil their newest project, An Awfully Big Adventure, to audiences May 13-16. It’s a brand new experience for the students and does not involve a stage or rows of seated audience members. Instead the show is a site-specific play created by Colliding Scopes, a Queen’s University theatrical group. Site-specific, explains drama teacher Marybeth Pidgeon, means the audience follows the action, choosing which actors to follow and which story they will hear. An Awfully Big Adventure will be played out in the halls and rooms at the high school on Ottawa Street in Arnprior and crowd interaction is part of the fun.

POLICING
Connected to your community
Don’t be intimidated by door-to-door salesmen: town, police News – The local OPP and the Town of Arnprior have both issued advisories in response to a number of reports that a private contractor has been conducting door-to-door sales in the area. In its news release, the town urged residents to be cautious when allowing anyone into their homes and ensure they are properly informed and confident with the decision before signing any agreements. The town reminds residents that: • No one has the right to enter your home unless you have invited them in. No one has the right to stay in your home once you have asked them to leave. Please call 9-1-1 if a door-todoor sales person insists on entering your home without your permission or will not leave your home once asked to. • In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act of Ontario, a consumer may, without any reason, cancel a direct agreement at any time from the date of entering into the agreement un-
til 10 days after receiving the written copy of the agreement. For more information on your rights as a consumer, please go to http://www.ontario.ca/ consumers/your-rights-under-consumer-protection-act. • Ask for their information - if you are suspicious for any reason about the business, salesperson or the product(s) they are selling, ask for their contact information. Research the company online and call the head office with any questions. • Ask detailed questions - ask for identification and inquire about contract requirements as well as cancellation rights. Obtain written documentation clearly outlining all policies before signing on the dotted line. The town notes that past door-todoor campaigns have targeted residents using the claim of unsafe drinking water. It reminds residents that the Town of Arnprior’s drinking water supply is subject to extensive testing and regular monitoring.
Copies of the Town’s Water Filtration Plant 2013 annual summary report can be found in the Town section of the website at www.arnprior.ca or can be requested by calling the clerk’s office at 613-623-4231, ext. 239. BE WARY: OPP
In its news release, the RenfrewArnprior OPP notes that with the return of the warmer weather, comes the return of door-to-door sales persons. “While this form of marketing is not prohibited, it can be somewhat intimidating for some homeowners and there are some important things that everyone should be aware of if approached at your home with an offer of goods or services,” the OPP report. • Most municipalities including Renfrew and Arnprior have enacted bylaws that require door-to-door sales persons, or transient traders, to be licenced with their municipality before they are allowed to operate. If you are
approached at your home, it is your rights to request to see a copy of their transient trader permit. If you have any questions, you are encouraged to contact the municipality before going any further. • You are not obliged to purchase anything or enter into any direct agreement. Door-to-door sales persons will often express a sense of urgency to make you believe that their offer is time sensitive and that a decision must be made right away. The use of pressure tactics is never acceptable and you should not feel pressured into making a decision on the spot. If you are interested in the product or service being offered, ask the sales person to come back another time to allow you to research the product or obtain a second opinion. If the company you are dealing with is legitimate, they should be happy to accommodate your request. • In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act of Ontario, a consumer may, without any reason, cancel certain
contracts up to 10 days after receiving the written copy of the agreement. This includes contracts worth more than $50 signed in your home. For more information on your rights as a consumer, please go to www.ontario.ca/consumerservices or call 1-800-899-9768. “Always remember, no one has the right to enter your home unless you have invited them in “ advises the OPP. “No one has the right to stay in your home once you have asked them to leave.” Like the town, they recommend people immediately call the OPP at 1888-310-1122 if a door-to-door sales person insists on entering their home without permission or will not leave once asked to. Ontario’s Ministry of consumer Services informs and protects people so they can shop with confidence when buying goods and services. Contact them for more information by visiting www.ontario.ca/consumerservices or calling 1-800-889-9768.

News – An area contractor has been sentenced to two months in jail followed by two years’ probation and ordered to pay $6,000 restitution. Philip Slobodzian of Renfrew, operating in the Ottawa area as Country Comfort Living, pleaded guilty on March 20 to several charges under Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act. In May 2013, a consumer entered into an agreement with Slobodzian for the installation of vinyl siding on his home. They agreed on a price of more than $12,000 and the consumer gave Slobodzian a $6,000 deposit the court heard. Slobodzian never started the work and when the consumer cancelled the agreement, his deposit was returned by Slobodzian’s business partner, at his own cost. Justice of the Peace Brian Mackey of the Nepean Provincial Offences Court convicted Slobodzian on charges of: • engaging in an unfair practice by making a false, misleading or deceptive representation; • failing to refund payment within 15 days of being given notice of cancellation of the consumer agreement; • failing to provide a consumer with a proper contract containing the information required by the Consumer Protection Act. This is the fourth time Slobodzian has been convicted under the Consumer Protection Act. In 2013, he was convicted of similar offences and sentenced to four months in jail and ordered to pay $12,500 restitution – he has appealed this decision. In 2011, he was sentenced to 71 days in jail to be followed by two years’ probation. His company, PSC New Home Construction, was fined $90,000. Upon release from jail, Slobodzian failed to comply with the terms of his probation and as a result is currently facing additional charges.

Province tightens immunization requirements for next school year News – In the wake of measles outbreaks in Ottawa and other areas this year, the province is tightening up immunization rules for students. The provincial government has updated the immunization requirements for the 2014-15 school year to include new mandatory immunizations and dose requirements that align with changes to Ontario’s publicly-funded Immunization Program. The stricter rules are likely to meet with opposition from a minority of parents who oppose immunization for health or religious reasons. There are exceptions granted to those who are susceptible to health problems from vaccinations or if their religion opposes immunization. The measles outbreak has prompted a major debate on whether vaccinations should be made mandatory to protect youth from what can be a dangerous disease. The new rules mandate that all students attending primary or secondary school this fall will need to have proof of immunization against three more diseases: meningococcal disease, whooping cough and - for children born in 2010 or later - chickenpox. This is in addition to updated dose requirements for tetanus, diphtheria, polio and mumps immunizations. Requirements for measles and rubella immunizations have not changed. Parents should take the following steps to ensure that their children meet the new immunization requirements: 1) Double-check with their doctor, nurse practitioner or local public health unit to make
Buy together and we all win!
sure their children’s immunization records are up to date. 2) Make sure that their child’s updated immunization record has been reported to their local public health unit. Once the school year begins, parents will be contacted by the local public health unit if catch-up immunizations are required. Following Ontario’s Immunization Schedule and maintaining immunization records are important steps to prevent the spread of these diseases. The diseases can spread easily in schools and can lead to serious health consequences especially in children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Health ofďŹ cials say that thanks to vaccines, infectious diseases that were the leading cause of death worldwide 100 years ago are now the cause of less than ďŹ ve per cent of all deaths in Canada. Vaccines for meningococcal disease, whooping cough and chickenpox are publicly funded and part of Ontario’s routine immunization schedule. They are also consistent with current clinical guidelines for best protecting Ontario’s children from disease. The Ontario government currently publicly funds 21 different (routine and non-routine) vaccines through its provincial immunization program that protect against 16 diseases. Parents of children who require an immunization exemption should speak to their local public health unit. Children who are exempt from immunization are at increased risk and may be removed from school during a disease outbreak.

Two Day of Mourning services planned in Renfrew County News - Unions are about more than decent jobs for workers. The labour movement also works to make workplaces safe for everyone. Yet, each year thousands of Canadians are killed or injured on the job or died from work-related diseases, says the Renfrew and District Labour Council in a news release inviting citizens to attend a Day of Mourning service on Monday, April 28. In 2012, 979 Canadians died because of their work, but the numbers are higher because official figures only capture those who received workers’ compensation benefits. Hundreds more die from under-reported illnesses and occupational diseases that go unrecognized in the compensation systems. Despite the frequency and tragedy of these deaths, negligent corporations that kill workers face little public, political or legal scrutiny. While police routinely investigate and lay charges related to homicides, different rules seem to apply to workplace fatalities, says the labour council. “We should not tolerate a situ-
ation where companies willfully neglect health and safety measures that would prevent injury and death. For example, nearly two years after a Burns Lake, B.C., explosion and fire took the lives of two workers, it was announced that neither criminal charges nor charges under the provincial workers compensation or occupational health and safety legislation would be laid. “Justice is not being served. We must have through scrutiny for potential criminal liability on the part of those employers who are negligent.” The labour council maintains that governments have a responsibility to properly enforce health and safety laws and the criminal code. “Yet the same politicians who claim to be tough on crime are soft on corporations responsible for workers’ injuries and deaths,” it says. “This amounts to unequal treatment before the law, with different rules for investigating fatalities in workplaces than for those occurring elsewhere. “Fairness works only if corporations and their representatives are
held accountable in the same way perpetrators or other crimes are held to account.” On Monday, April 28, the public is encouraged to mourn those who have died on the job. The deaths of these workers are a reminder that all levels of government must do more to enforce health and safety laws, and vigor-
ously prosecute violations when a worker is killed or seriously injured, says the labour council. “It is time for fair and equal treatment before the law for workplace injuries and deaths. Together we have made good progress protecting workers’ health and safety, but we have to keep fighting for safer workplaces for everyone.”

Ready to love filing income tax? Author of Tax is Not a Four-Letter Word maintains paying taxes is a good thing Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
News - Next to weather, Canadians love to commiserate over taxes; especially when incometax filing season is at hand. Not so much Alex Himelfarb. He wants to change the way Canadians view paying taxes. From the H&R Block commercials bemoaning ‘tax pain’ in the backside to the dominant narrative that public revenue is money forcibly taken from hardworking taxpayers, the assumption is taxes are bad. And any person or party calling for a tax hike is laughably unfit to rule. Himelfarb is co-editor of Tax is Not a Four-Letter Word – A Different Take on Taxes in Canada. The compilation of essays by many leading experts explores
various aspects of tax policy. Himelfarb has filed already, well ahead of the May 5 extended deadline. Doing so didn’t in the least faze this Ottawa resident and Government of Canada’s former most-senior non-political official. “I was just fine with filing my taxes,” said Himelfarb, one-time clerk of the privy council. “I’ve had a truly privileged life. I’m the son of immigrants and this country has done much for us.” But what of those who are not grateful for government services? Those who either don’t appreciate or need programs such as welfare or the old age pension system, public education or universal health care? Himelfarb says class stratification can reach such extremes that the ultrarich believes it is entitled
to all it has, that it earned its wealth (even if inherited or on the backs of educated employees). Conversely, the poor can lose all hope and believe the system is rigged. Meanwhile the middle class will resent those beneath and forgive those above. “That’s why we need to have a conversation on how we can restore the public good,” he said. “The book is really about taxes as a proxy for how we think about our obligations toward one another and our responsibilities to the public good.” The great bulk of taxes are used to pay for social programs that benefit the vast majority of Canadians, a point Himelfarb says has been lost amid the last 35 years of Thatcherism and Reaganomics that insist on decreasing taxes ad infinitum. The issue hasn’t always been as polarized between

Talking taxes is a way to discuss our obligations to the public good, says Alex Himelfarb. left and right. From the early to mid 20th century most progressive social programs in the U.S. and Canada were put in place by right wing administrations trying to stave off communism. Leftwingers were often libertarians suspicious of government as an instrument of tycoons and their corporations. When the generation that won the Second World War returned from Europe, both sides favoured social programs to aid the transition back to civilian life. “That’s why left and right don’t work very well. Progressives understand the state is necessary to contain the market and a strong civil society is needed to contain the state.” That’s why he talks about value for tax dollars, as do all moderates, because blind trust in the state is as foolish as blind trust in the markets. Both are capable of tyranny. LESS MEANS MORE
But what of the commonly held refrain: tax people and corporations less and business will thrive, creating more jobs and more tax revenue? Trickledown economics has been tried for the past 35 years, culminating in the 2008 economic meltdown caused by deregulation and profit concentration, Himelfarb indicated. He cited a recent bipartisan Congressional Research Service study showing tax cuts didn’t deliver on their promises. Then there are the obvious successes in social welfare nations in northern Europe where standard of living and happiness indicators far surpass the laissezfaire economies of the U.S. and Japan. “The market is not everything. Where’s the evidence that tax cuts deliver anything but suffering and pain,” he said. Suffering and pain is something tax cut advocates often point to, saying the private sector is suffering, therefore the public sector must be reduced. But most mainstream economists agree that, when in recession or near recession. there must be stimulus spending on the public side to bolster the economy; and when the economy rebounds, governments should scale back. That is exactly what the late federal fi-
nance minister Jim Flaherty ple of a tax cut was when in 2006 newly elected Prime eventually agreed to do. Himelfarb agrees that a Minister Stephen Harper, large government presence against the advice of most in the economy cushions economists, cut the GST from 14 to 12 per cent. It against booms and busts. Sunshine lists and union made for a nice photo opt, bashing among cynics critics said, but also cost contribute to a culture that $14 billion a year in revenue denigrates the public sector. that could have been put Himelfarb said the highest back into roads, bridges and level public servants are paid other desperately needed inless than counterparts in the frastructure upgrades. “It wasn’t a surprise that corporate world.

Local orienteering club to practice in area for world championship News – Local orienteering enthusiasts are hosting a training weekend in Carp and Kanata this weekend in preparation for hosting the North American Orienteering Championships, The championships will be held in Arnprior and West Carleton Oct. 10 to 13. The event will be headquartered at Robert Simpson Park in Arnprior and include competitions in the Arnprior area and on the Carp Ridge. As co-hosts of the championships with the Town of Arnprior, Orienteering Ottawa is preparing to not only be a good host to what it promises will be a “great event,” it is also determined to do well in the competition. With interest rising in the sport in Canada, Orienteering Ottawa will have to bring its A-game to live up to their slogan of ‘take
control’. Confirmation was officially received last week that Barbados will be sending a team to the event, meaning for the first time the North American BK Champions Cup will be a competition between three countries and not just the U.S. and Canada. The sport is spreading. To help raise the game, the International Orienteering Federation is sending over its senior event advisor, David Rosen from the U.K. The event advisor is required because NAOC2014 is a world ranking and world championship qualifying event. Normally in North America, Canada and the U.S. simply dig from the small pool of our own. However, the IOF sees orienteering in North America as ripe to become a hotbed of the sport in the coming years and Rosen’s participation is a sign the IOF is taking the sport in Canada seriously.
The event advisor normally reviews all maps, locations and courses and ensures that IOF rules are abided by. The biggest part of the development aspect will be the clinics Rosen gives on IOF event advising. This will enable more North Americans to become certified and increase the number of certified events on the continent. Orienteering Ottawa is hosting the ‘take control’ training weekend April 25 to 27 in Carp and Kanata, including the first of the clinics by Rosen. He will also be checking out the terrain and maps for accuracy. Orienteerers from around the region will descend on the area to get more acclimatized in preparation for the North American championship in October. The weekend will feature courses for all age groups and abilities and introductory clinics will be offered.

This photo of a race form the past is on the poster that promotes the series that begins this Saturday, April 26 with the Burnstown Mile. country (Stewartville to Burnstown) Oct. 18. To create some friendly competition hopefully involving companies, schools and organizations, participants can also be on teams as well as entering individually. Team scoring is handicapped to allow adults to be compete fairly with children, opening up an endless array of fun possible challenges. Township teams will be created based on everyone’s hometown as well, with the victorious township/town or city holding geographical bragging rights over their neighbors. Awards will be given for the first male and
female and the top-three age-related finishers. There will also be team awards for high school, public school and townships with the fastest four times (age-graded). Race t-shirts will be available and a barbecue will be held afterwards. Organizers will be collecting pledge forms, Canadian Tire money and returnable beer bottles in an effort to raise funds for the good work of the Special Olympics.

DISCUSSING DEMENTIA SERIES Compassion Fatigue and The Effects of Caregiving on the Health of Caregivers
R0012619618_0424
News – A new series of six local running, walking and cycling events will begin in the area this Saturday, April 26. The Burnstown-based Get Here From There series is a new fitness initiative in Renfrew County aimed at getting people of all ages, shapes and sizes off the couch and out getting exercise. Kim McKinty of the Neat Café in Burnstown, one of the major organizers of the new venture, explains that the six races this year will increase slowly in distance throughout the year. As well as improving their fitness, participants will get to enjoy the scenic towns of White Lake, Arnprior, Calabogie, Renfrew and Stewartville, as well as the space between and the Village of Burnstown, the series’ epicentre where all races end. “It’s an opportunity to get out and meet people and get a little exercise,” says McKinty. Each event has a bike and on-foot aspect to it. The cyclists will head out first, then the walkers and runners. All courses are accurate and safe with aid stations along the way. “If you can walk, run or pedal, you’re good to go,” say organizers. The first event is the Burnstown Mile set for this Saturday, April 26. The course goes up the hill towards White Lake and back down to Burnstown. The time trial starts at 8 a.m., with the runners heading out at 9 a.m. Organizers note that a mile is something almost anyone can do with little or no training or preparation and is, therefore, a nice introduction to the series that will hopefully entice everyone to make exercise and fitness a bigger part of their daily or weekly routine. Throughout the year, there will be five more races: five-mile (White Lake to Burnstown) June 1, 10-kilometre (Renfrew to Burnstown) July 1, 10-mile (Calabogie to Burnstown) Aug. 9, half-marathon/25km cycle (Arnprior to Burnstown) Sept. 28 and eight-kilometre cross

John YAKABUSKI MPP
www.johnyakabuski.com “Memories of Jim Flaherty” I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the state funeral for the Hon. Jim Flaherty in Toronto last week. The service was indeed a moving and emotional one with tributes by our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Jim’s sister Norah, and his wife Christine Elliott with their triplet boys John, Galen and Quinn. While the funeral service has received wide coverage I would like to share a couple of personal memories of Jim Flaherty that have given me a greater understanding of his commitment to public service and those less fortunate. When I was elected in 2003, Jim Flaherty was one of the people that I gravitated to as someone I could learn from. And learn from him I did. Seeing Jim ply his craft aided me in my decision to commit very early to supporting him for the party’s leadership in 2004. While Jim ultimately did not win that contest I never did regret my decision, and through that race I became more and more convinced that he would have excelled as leader. One of the memories that I look back on and enjoy was the time that after having a delegate meeting in Pembroke followed by another one in Barry’s Bay, Jim agreed to join me at the opening of the Palmer Rapids Country and Bluegrass festival. It was a Friday evening, so we drove separately because he was going to be heading back to Toronto as he had events to do in Southern Ontario the following day. I’ll never forget the look on his face when we finally arrived at the festival on the banks of the Madawaska River. Jim looked somewhat relieved, and he said to me “Yak I had no idea where we were going, but as we got deeper into these backwoods all I kept thinking of was the movie Deliverance.” We shared a good laugh and talked about it on more than a few occasions after that. I’ll share another event that took place after Jim had been elected to the Federal Parliament and appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper as the Finance Minister. This made him perhaps, next to the Prime Minister himself, the busiest politician in the country. I called Jim up on his cellphone (yes, even as Finance Minister he still made himself accessible) and mentioned that I was participating in a fundraising golf tournament in the Whitby area along with my brothers Frank and Lawrie to aid the victims of Tuberous Sclerosis (a little understood but debilitating multi-system genetic disease), and asked if he would be able to join us. Jim said he’d get back to me as soon as possible. Within a couple of days he called me back and said he’d be glad to join us, that he might be a little late because of a morning commitment, but he would get there as soon as he could. I can tell you that it poured rain for most of the tournament and Jim, who as I said would be one of the busiest people in the country, smiled throughout the downpours glad to participate in a charitable event. He even stayed afterwards throughout the entire dinner portion, and made an even greater contribution by bidding on a bicycle on a silent auction – saying “Yak you’ve got a van eh? You can get this home for me, right”. This spoke volumes to me about how Jim cared about those less fortunate, and the compassion he had for their trials in life. These are only a couple, I could share many. I consider myself fortunate to have known this man whose stature was so much greater than the frame he walked in. He will be missed. R0122067653

Sports – It’s a program that’s been benefitting area youth for years and it continues to thrive. Vicki Wilson of Braeside leads Small Ball Basketball, an inclusive community basketball program designed for children five to 14 years old, teaching the sport’s fundamental skills. The program uses equipment and a game that has been modified to suit a younger player’s needs and differences. Wilson, a two-time all-Canadian with Queen’s University who has 20 years of coaching experience, said the program builds character, discipline and self-esteem. Stars basketball coach and certified teacher Anne Prince also works with the small ball program, based at Queen Elizabeth Public School in Renfrew. Another session was added this past year for ages 12-14 year olds and the program has grown in numbers to include four full sessions of youth enjoying the game of basketball. Some of the kids have been with the program for six years and it is great to watch them improve, said Wilson. Sessions are typically offered in the fall and spring and Wilson reminded parents of the upcoming week-long summer camp for youth ages 9-14. More information is available at 613-622-1200.

Fundraising events in May, June for Katrina Lyman Memorial Awards Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
News - It’s become an important way to keep the precious memory of their loved one alive. This year marks the fourth anniversary of 18-year-old Katrina (Kay) Lyman’s death and her family has established fundraising events and high school bursaries that pay tribute to the young Arnprior District High School student killed in a car crash on County Road 29 east of Arnprior on May 20, 2010. “It’s given me something positive, instead of just dealing with the negativity of her death,” said Kay’s mom Samantha. “It keeps her memory alive and it keeps me going.” The family is funding two bursaries at the high school this year through two events – a bake sale and barbecue/garage sale. Samantha said she can hardly believe that
The Katrina Lyman Memorial Award was first presented in 2011 to honour the Arnprior District High School graduate who died in a car accident in 2010. four years have passed since the accident. “The biggest thing for me is how long it’s been since I was able to hold her and talk to her,” said Samantha.
In 2011, the Katrina Lyman Memorial Award was given for the first time. Kay’s brothers, Colby and Ross, presented the $1,500 scholarships to two ADHS students. Successful recipients write essays on the subject of family and judging and awarding the honours is a family affair for Samantha, Kay’s aunt Ev Kaerbye and other family members and friends. Kay, an avid reader and someone who loved spending time with her family, would be pleased to see students focusing on family and benefitting from the bursary. And while it’s tough to deal with the sadness and immense loss, it feels good to know Kay’s name and memory lives on, said Samantha. And it’s not only through the bursaries Kay’s two brothers now have children and each have a girl named with their sister in mind. Aunt Kay would have been very proud of
Kayden, Haley Katrina and her other nieces, said Samantha. “She would be very happy knowing that she has four nieces.” Samantha is amazed at how people have come forward to support the family’s efforts. “The community has been wonderful,” said Samantha. “We could not ask for anything better.” EVENTS
This year’s fundraisers include a bake/craft sale on Saturday, May 10 at the Arnprior mall from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Next up is a yard sale/barbecue on Saturday, June 14 at 20 Moore St. from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. At both events there will be donation jars and a 50/50 raffle that will be drawn at the close of the barbecue.

Volunteers keep Arnprior food bank operating Community - April 7 was just another work-for-free day at the Arnprior District Food Bank. Almost 20 folks bustled about in organized chaos at the food bank located in the basement of St. John Chrysostom Catholic Church. They are busy preparing for some 300 clients who arrive between 9:30 a.m. and noon most Mondays. Three days worth of food are carefully prepared for each. While they suggested their
service wasn’t no big deal to them, National Volunteer Week (April 6-12) was an important time to thank the many local volunteers. The week was a time to celebrate Canada’s 13.3 million volunteers, including the dedicated crew at the food bank. The Arnprior District Food Bank was established as a registered charity in 1994 to offer food assistance to those in need in Arnprior and McNab Braeside. About 120 family units and individuals have been assisted with a three-day

supply of food each month over the past year. The team of volunteers is comprised of two co-ordinators, a volunteer team leader and an inventory manager combined with 19 other volunteers who serve clients and complete all necessary background tasks and duties to run the food bank efficiently. The food bank is open most Mondays from 9:30 a.m. to noon. For more detailed information, call the Food Bank at 613-668-4462/

Recalling ADHS star athletes of the early sixties Opinion - I attended kindergarten, elementary school and high school in Arnprior. When I was 13 and in Grade 8, I would watch the high school teams play and admired their exceptional talents, hoping someday to be as good as them. I was just developing as an athlete and in my mind everyone was better than me. And little wonder! I would show up at an outdoor rink for hockey or the field at Playtex for touch football and I could hear someone say, “here comes Silye, you can have him and the next pick (meaning the next guy that shows up). Although it hurt, those words inspired me to try and play like the better athletes. So from football, hockey, basketball, baseball, softball, and track and field, I became involved. The following are some of the star athletes that I recall making an impression on me. To refresh my memory and to back up my opinion, I spent time at the Arnprior Archives to verify their accomplishments. Let me start with those
Rob Dolan excels in the long jump
athletes that were older than me. CLARENCE STYLES: He was the star running back on the football teams who ran like Ronnie Stewart (Ottawa Roughriders) and Leo Lewis (Winnipeg Blue Bombers ) of the CFL. He also ran track and was built like a fire-hydrant. BILL KAUFELDT: He quarterbacked the Senior team. He was tall, quick-footed and had speed. He was like Russ Jackson of the Ottawa Roughriders. He also ran great 100- and 220yard sprints. His best time in the 220 was 23.4 seconds. TOM BURNETTE: (yes, your former fire chief) a solid athlete, good at pole vault, an aggressive two-way hockey player and he could score (but not so much with the girls). DICK DORIAN: He was outstanding in all sports and popular with his teammates. ‘Dickie’ would catch footballs over the shoulder like Whit Tucker (Ottawa Roughriders) and run like a deer. He was the 1963 Renfrew County Track Champion, winning the 100-yard dash in 10.9 seconds, the broad jump 18’ 9 and 3/4” and the hop step and jump 37’ 8”. Some say he had ‘million dollar’ legs but tempered with a cocky, winning, attitude, who, when running heats for the 100-yard dash, would turn around and run the last few yards backwards. In hockey, the star that he was he had a short fuse according to his teammates of the time and if you messed with him the stick was used for more than stick-handling. Nevertheless, since we all have lost our temper at certain times, in my mind he was the best all-round athlete that was in the group two to four years older than me at ADHS when I was just entering Grade 9. HONOURABLE MENTIONS of the older guys are: JOHN SIMPSON - football, baseball, hockey (got an invite to attend a Chicago Blackhawks training camp); JOHN SMITH (of Smiths Bros. Construction Co.) - captain of the senior football team who had a tryout with the Ottawa Roughriders; GLEN BUDER - super hockey player, played ball, and an exceptional golfer winning the golf championship at the Arnprior course many times; BRIAN HOUSTON - who along with John Simpson
JIM SILYE/SUBMITTED
The Arnprior District High School senior boys basketball team from the 1960s included in front, from left, Jim Flegal, Jim Silye (who authored this article ), captain Neil Campbell, Reg Fina, Shayne Fair and coach Wayne Oattes; and in back manager Bill Lacroix, Brian Boyle, Robert Doland, Campbell McKie and Robert Savard. and Henry Egan were selected as juvenile ‘A’ all-stars to join others from Ottawa and won the all Ontario Juvenile.’A’ championship in Milford, Ontario in April 1961; JOHN SCHULTZ - a fine athlete who excelled at hockey (sniper), football (QB) and baseball; DAVID MOORE - we only rubbed shoulders for one year, but he played basketball, badminton, track and field – “you name it, he could play it,” according to the Re-Echo, the high school yearbook (but not hockey, according to me); and finally TOM STANTON, small but very talented centre in hockey, good QB in football who proved to me (being on the small side myself) you don’t have to be ‘big’ to be big in a sport. He played like Gretzky. Now let’s move into my era and let me tell you about the athletes that I thought and think about today that stood out. But before I start, I have to admit that I may have a bias for the
few who I mention because I played with them and for those still who live in town and I don’t mention, please don’t pull a ‘Dorian’. JOHN RENWICK - played all sports but was one of the best ever hockey players in the Valley who for many years played a level above his age. He was invited to the Toronto Maple Leafs training camp when the NHL was just the Big Six. TOM WRIGHTSELL - he is an unsung hero of mine. An all-round athlete who had moves like a snake on the Playtex field playing football (which I proceeded to copy) and an excellent pitcher and third baseman in baseball. A fast skating left winger who in January, 1960 playing in a midget tournament where his team won 7-2 Tommy scored four goals and three assists (sounds like Rocket Richard to me).

No such thing as a family pet on the farm Lifestyle - It was a wet and long spring that year. And the winter coldness was yet to fade away to warmer days, leaving a chill in the air that seemed to penetrate our very bones. But it was lambing time, and the joy of welcoming those tiny little bodies of wool out on the farm in Northcote took away the greyness of the season, and filled my heart with unspeakable joy.

Although I never wanted to see the actual births, it wasn’t long after the deliveries that I was in the barn, leaning on the board rail of the lambing pen, watching the mothers nudge their babies and they, with wobbly legs trying, to find firm footing. That year Father was pleased with the number of lambs born in the barn, and with two or three ewes yet to birth, everything pointed to a bit of relief from the cares of the Depression. There would be wool and meat to market, easing the constant worries of survival when poverty was all around us. When the very last ewe delivered, two tiny bodies emerged, but alas, one was as black as ink. Father who prided himself on the white wool he took to market, shook his head, and then said, “don’t think it’s going to make it anyway ... it’s just a little runt of a thing, I doubt if it will see the end of the day. At that very moment I claimed the little black lamb for my very own. I called it Lambie most of the time, but sometimes, called it Blackie. I asked Father if I could look after it, and from then on, the little lamb and I were inseparable. I fed it milk from a little bottle belonging to one of my dolls, and to my utter joy, not only did it survive that day, and the night, but began to show signs of growing into a healthy and sturdy sheep. I was too young to know that you didn’t raise domestic animals on the farm as pets. They would eventually end up at the market, or in the smoke house.

Heartbleed bug shutdown extends tax deadline to May 5 also removed.” The CRA is sending registered letters to those whose SINs are compromised and the RCMP is investigating. In a statement April 13, the agency said that “individuals, businesses and representatives are now able to file returns, make payments, and access all other e-services available through the CRA’s website, including all our secure portals.” Because the system was down for a week, the CRA has extended the tax filing deadline from April 30 to Monday, May 5. On April 7, the CRA was informed of an Internet security vulnerability

named the Heartbleed Bug that had the potential to affect technology systems around the world. This represented a “serious challenge” for CRA, forcing it to work around the clock with Shared Services Canada to apply a ‘patch’ or solution that addresses the vulnerability. The CRA says the effectiveness of the remedy has been “rigorously and successfully tested,” resulting in restoration of e-services. “Our systems are back online,” announced Treusch. “We apologize for the delay and the inconvenience it has caused to Canadians.

News – The income tax filing system was back on line last week after the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) determined it was no longer compromised by the Heartbleed bug. The CRA said around 900 Canadians’ social insurance numbers were stolen from its system over a six-hour period “by someone exploiting the Heartbleed vulnerability,” said commissioner Andrew Treusch in a press release. “We are currently going through the painstaking process of analyzing other fragments of data, some that may relate to businesses, that were
Although the tax deadline has been extended to May 5, the Chartered Professional Accountants (CPA) of Canada is encouraging people not to delay filing. “Don’t get caught and be forced to scramble if you plan to use a professional accountant,” warns CPA Canada vicepresident Gabe Hayos. Some firms may not be in position to accept tax returns after the original April 30 deadline. They simply won’t have the resources with staff having already made vacation plans, including booking flights. Hayos is appreciative of the CRA for its recent actions. “The Canada Revenue Agency moved swiftly to deal with the security threat,” Hayos said.

Want something done; give it to a busy person Liz Wall Seniors at Home
Lifestyle - A volunteer can spread kindness with the smallest of task or make a signiďŹ cant difference in the life of another just by being there at the right time. This is just what our volunteer Katherine Miller-Gatenby has done and continues to do. “I know that no matter how much I put into volunteer work I get so much more out of it,â€? said Miller-Gatenby. She ďŹ rst joined the volunteer team at Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program. (ABMSH) in 2010, ďŹ rst starting out by helping with the hot meal delivery program as well as the weekly foot clinics. From there, it was volunteering at the income tax clinic and then, under the guidance of ABMSH executive director Dennis Harrington, she and agency volunteer Margo Levy, started up the agency’s book club, ‘The Book Worms’. You know the saying, “want something done give it to a busy person,â€? well Miller-Gatenby would be one of those persons. This past year she became a member of the board of directors at ABMSH with a second duty of serv-
KATHERINE MILLER-GATENBY ing on the development committee. She offered time as a volunteer receptionist and provided expertise in the editing and prooďŹ ng of the agency’s two publications: 150 Years of Cooking in the Ottawa Valley & Beyond (cookbook) and Angels in Grey (magazine publication on human interest articles). The expertise and professionalism that Miller-Gatenby brings to the agency is due largely from a 20-year career as a librarian with the federal
government. A native of London, Ontario, she completed an undergraduate degree at York University and then a Masters of Library Science at University of Western Ontario. After graduating she moved around a bit before settling in Ottawa in the mid-1980s. Every volunteer brings something new and rewarding to the agency and each is appreciated for their individual talents, likes and dislikes. When the ‘right ďŹ t’ is found, it is so rewarding. As mentioned earlier, MillerGatenby assisted in the production of the agency’s cookbook and magazine. Her experience in proof-reading, sorting and creating, along with her love of books and reading, was most valuable to the fundraising team and the success of these two publications. “That was not a job though, it was a joy to read those two publications as they were being put together; fun to watch them being built from scratch,â€? she said. She and her husband Reg were married in 1998 and moved to Arnprior in November 2002. Everyone at ABMSH is very glad
they decided to make Arnprior their home. “When I retired I looked around for volunteer positions that I felt would make a difference. I immediately liked Seniors At Home because it is a well-run organization, has a clear mandate and it makes a difference every day in the lives of the people it serves,â€? said Miller-Gatenby. “There are many things I like most about volunteering at Seniors at Home: ďŹ rst of all the staff and volunteers are great people and great fun. For example, I helped with the garage sale and we found that many hands did indeed make light work. “It was a chilly fall day but there was hot cider and staff and volunteers to joke around with. The time went by quickly and we made a decent amount of money.â€? She admits she has much always volunteered; with Girl Guides, the Canadian Library Association and literacy training when working. After the move to Arnprior and commuting into Ottawa every day, she did not have time to volunteer. “I really missed it (volunteering).â€? She now also volunteers with the Renfrew County Red Cross Disaster Response Team.
“A few years after we moved to Arnprior, there were three serious house ďŹ res in our neighbourhood. The Red Cross offers a trained and focused response to help victims of these kinds of disasters and information sessions on how to be prepared. Again, it is an organization that makes a difference in the lives of the people it serves.â€? Miller-Gatenby has explored other interests since retiring. “I do yoga as frequently as I can, read voraciously, cook reasonably well, knit badly (but I think I’m improving), play bridge (badly but improving there too) and I confess I am a long-time Coronation Street fan. “My husband and I travel a bit. Last year we went to the Gaspesie and the year before we went to Iceland. It can take as much or as little time as you have to offer and that time always makes a difference,â€? she says about volunteering. “It makes some-one’s life easier, more comfortable, helps them get over a shocking event, transports them to important appointments, reveals another great book to be read, creates a vibrant community (e.g. the Senior Christmas party), and I could go on. I believe my life is much richer because I volunteer.â€?

Big Bike for Heart to return to Town of Arnprior April 28 Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Big Bike for Heart is coming back to Arnprior. There had been concern that the popular fundraiser for the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation might not be returning with the closure of Curves outlet in Arnprior, as its owner Linda Davies has been a major organizer and supporter of the event. However, staff and students at Arnprior District High School and Walter Zadow have
stepped into the gap and are ensuring the fundraiser continues. HEADQUARTERS AT ADHS
The Big Bike will be in town Monday, April 28, with the ride headquarters at ADHS. Several teams from the school are expected to raise money for the heart foundation with rides between 10 a.m. and noon.
Several other teams will take to the bike in the late afternoon, after the school buses have left, and early evening. One of the teams will be made up of former Curves clients, participating in a ride to honour Davies. Among the other teams scheduled to make the 20-25 minute rides are Walter Zadow staff, TD Canada Trust and the Investors Group. Motorists are cautioned to keep an eye out
for the riders, who will be taking a new route around the ADHS area this time. As usual, the Big Bike will have a police escort on its rides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arnprior has always been a big supporter of the Big Bike,â&#x20AC;? said Big Bike for Heart organizer Darleen Doherty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky to have the school get behind this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a good day,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we ask for is for some good weather.â&#x20AC;?

Many great athletes passed through the halls at ADHS Continued from Page 31
GARRY McCANN - a baseball pitcher, a basketball player, a two-way football player, a tall, handsome good-looking athlete but not as good-looking or as good as his brother Jimmy! That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it. JIMMY McCANN - Garry’s brother who also could pitch a baseball but with more variety than most, an MVP in football as a tough defensive linebacker, who went on to become a golf professional and to-day owns a golf course just outside of St. Mary’s, Ontario. Oh yeah, he could also play hockey. I have a story to tell about the two brothers. In 1963 we were all on the senior football team together and we met Deep River in the championship game. It was a wet day and a very muddy field and with three minutes left in the game we were losing 6-0. Deep River had possession of the ball. Well, Jimmy intercepts and on our first play as QB I found Garry open in the end zone and we go ahead 7-6. Deep River runs to Garry’s side twice and, of course, they were stopped, they punt, we then proceed to find Reggie Finan all alone for another touchdown.
JIMMY McCANN
JOHN RENWICK
JOHN SMITH
This was followed by another three-and-out by Deep River and Reggie was uncovered again and scores his second T.D. (they must have thought he couldn’t catch). We win 21-6 in front of a home crowd of over 1,000 fans. *Note Jimmy won defensive player of the year - Garry didn’t. The sports page said the “team played a brilliant game in the last three minutes.” (Glad they ignored the first 57 minutes.) CAMPBELL McKIE - He and I had a history of antagonizing each other right from Grade 8. However as a much bigger athlete he was good in every sport he tried. Football, basketball, volleyball (a girls game), hockey and an excellent runner in track. In fact, Campbell, George Smith, Mike Marcellus and Gordie
McLellan on May 28, 1966 in London, Ontario won the 440 relay, setting an Ontario Canadian High School record of 43.2 seconds. MURRAY KELLY - one of the finest if not the best Irish athlete to ever come out of Arnprior. He excelled at football, soccer, floor hockey (cause he was built to the ground), basketball (a shifty guard), weak in track but made up for it with his hockey skills. One of the best stick-handlers I ever saw or played with. An article in the Arnprior Chronicle on Feb. 8, 1961 wrote about a game where Arnprior’s midget team beat Renfrew 42 and Kelly was described as a player “who is developing into one of the finest prospects Arnprior has had in many a year.” Murray scored three
goals in that game (of course, I set him up three times but got no mention). I was very lucky to play on a line with Murray and Johnny Renwick in midget and juvenile. In fact in my last year of juvenile we never lost a game, thanks to those two along with the likes of Gerry Pulcine, Tom Couthier, Campbell Mckie and Gary Belton (another fine athlete - good at every sport he played). ‘Kels’, as we called him, got a hockey scholarship to St. Francis Xavier and has become a poet of sorts ( who would have guessed). ROB DOLAN - A runner extraordinaire, football player, basketball player, and a half decent goalie in hockey. In high school football, Rob caught touchdown passes from Tom Stanton (Fitzroy
connection) to lead the league in touchdowns in1962, when the junior team won all eight of its games and were labelled in the newspaper as the best junior team ever up to that point in time. He was by far the most accomplished runner of his day; his records speak for themselves. In 1963 he won the 220 in a time of 22.0 seconds which was 1/10th of a second faster than the Canadian Open Juvenile Record but not recognized because the meet was held at the Arnprior fairgrounds, which was a horse track and didn’t have the same curve at the turn. In 1964 at an All-Ontario meet, Dolan won second in the 440 with a time of 50.6 seconds, 6/10th of a second off the record. In 1965, not only did he beat in the high jump RICKY McCABE, who was the first to jump six feet in Arnprior, but beat the fastest sprinter R.A. Jamieson from Renfrew in the 220 (23.1 seconds) in the county meet and goes on to Ottawa and ties the existing record with a time of 22.8 in the 220, equalling the record of Bob Fisher-Smith who was Canada’s second best sprinter at the time. In my opinion, I feel Rob Dolan was the best all-round athlete in my era (of course, I
GARY BELTON pushed him to it). So now when I look back, I know I crossed paths with a lot of great athletes in Arnprior and I benefited a great deal from it.

Cobden sale barn big draw now Galetta closed Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com
Lifestyle - The long history of selling stockers, cow-calves and cull cows continues with the latest 20-year chapter of Renfrew-Pontiac Livestock, or what most farmers simply call the Cobden Sale Barn. The low-key celebration happened March 18 to recognize the last 20 years during which Harry and Lois Dick have been, and continue to be, owners. The previous owners were Morris and Lillian Barr of Arnprior, while the original owner, Allister Johnston, opened the establishment in the early 1950s and kept it going until he sold the sale barn several years later to Stewart Hiles. Inevitably, there have been highs and lows over time, including rock-bottom prices during the BSE, or mad cow, crisis of 2005. But sale prices in the last several months are the best theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in years. Preston Cull, the sale barnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auctioneer, attributes the situation to a combination of cattle shortages, the devalued Canadian dollar and a drop in cattle-feed prices. Whatever the prices, Cull and many farmers in the region say Renfrew-Pontiac Livestock is where they like to be for the weekly sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good place to work,â&#x20AC;? says the Douglas auctioneer, the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief auctioneer for about four years after working 17 years at the now-closed Galetta sale barn. His predecessor was Keith McNeely, while Harry Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Jim, was the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original auctioneer.
Derek Dick makes sure these cows are properly penned at the Cobden sale barn.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The atmosphere is good, but there are some days when it can be tense â&#x20AC;Ś if prices are sliding,â&#x20AC;? says Cull at the barn, which is actually four barns. A new holding barn was added in the early years of the Dicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ownership, and another was built more recently.

Galetta auction The spring auction at the Galetta sale building saw the parking lot overflowing with trucks last Saturday.

Be patient when meeting slowpokes on road, motorists urged ing lane of traffic, do not pass unless you can see clearly ahead of both you and the vehicle you will pass. If there are any curves or hills ahead that may block your view of oncoming vehicles, do not pass. Leave a safe distance – Often drivers of horse-drawn vehicles may not be able to see you behind them. Following too closely is especially dangerous, as it puts yourself as well as the occupants of the horse-drawn vehicle in a hazardous position. Leave a cushion of safety between you and the horse-drawn vehicle, maintaining a measurable distance from the front of your car to the rear of the buggy. Also be aware that when stopped at a traffic light or stop sign buggies will often roll back a few feet after coming to a complete stop. Offering a safe distance gives you a chance to react if a dangerous situation arises. Animals are unpredictable - In addition to being hard to see and slowmoving, horses can be unpredictable, easily spooked and may not react the way you would expect them to. Renfrew OPP Detachment Commander Inspector Colin Slight reminds motorists that “road safety is every driver’s responsibility whether encountering pedestrians, cyclists, farm equipment, horse-drawn vehicles or a school bus. Being patient and courteous will help to ensure a safe arrival for everyone.”

News – The local OPP has issued an appeal for motorists to be patient and courteous when experiencing an expected increase in horse-drawn carriages on area roads. Noting there have been several horse and carriages seen on local roads recently, the OPP says drivers need to recognize the Slow Moving Vehicle Emblem and take proper actions. “Being a safe and responsible driver takes a combination of knowledge, skill and attitude,” says the OPP. “You need to do more than just obey the rules. You must care about the safety of others on the road.” So the OPP is asking drivers on coming across slow moving vehicles such as carriages to: Brake immediately - While driving on area rural roads or highways, you may encounter horse-drawn vehicles. It is important to recognize the slow moving vehicle sign as a warning to adjust your speed. Slow moving vehicle signs are attached to the rear of animal-drawn vehicles and on other vehicles designed to travel at speeds no greater than 40-km per hour. Because it may be difficult to judge the speed at which you are closing in on such a vehicle, you should slow down immediately. Pass with caution – Be watchful of vehicles behind you that may also try to pass. If you must enter the oncom-

Weight management, wellness and nutrition Ian Harris RNT
Opinion - We are a nation that is overfed and undernourished. Here are 15 reasons why everyone needs nutritional supplementation (vitamins). 1. Soil depletion has reduced the nutrient content of our food supply. 2. Hybrid crops provide lower-nutrients in our food. 3. Modern fertilizers do not supply enough trace elements. 4. Modern use of chemical pesticides and herbicides all over the world make food somewhat toxic, and damage soil microorganisms reducing the nutrients in the crops they produce. 5. Long-distance transportation of many foods diminishes their nutritional content. 6. Food processing often drastically reduces the nutrient content of common foods such as wheat flour, rice, dairy products and others. Pasteurization and homogenization of dairy products drastically reduces the bio-availability of calcium, phosphorus and some proteins in milk and other dairy products. This is one of the worst insults to our food today.
7. Food additives often further deplete nutrients. 8. Weak digestion and poor eating habits impair the absorption of nutrients. 9. Stressful and hurried lifestyles deplete us of proper nutrient absorption. 10. Chronic and acute infections and other illnesses most depletes us of nutrients. 11. Almost all babies are born deficient today. 12. The increased use of vaccines and medical drugs can deplete nutrients and increases the need for nutritional supplementation. 13. Toxic chemicals and toxic metals in the air and in our water also depletes nutrients and increases the need for nutritional supplementation. 14. Some medical procedures also drastically deplete nutrients. 15. Dieting is one of the worst offenders of nutrient depletion. Removing foods such as protein or carbohydrates to lose weight will cause a nutrient deficiency leading to all sorts of health problems and believe it or not will promote weight gain not weight loss. Supplements can be used safely by everyone to protect
against disease, manage stress, eliminate deficiency states, prevent future illness, balance the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chemistry and help to remove heavy metals Please note: That although vitamins and minerals unlike the common aspirin have never cause death or major illness to anyone ingesting them, always consult a registered nutritionist before implementing a nutritional supplementation plan and if you are taking any medication, please speak to your family physician to prevent any interactions that may occur. Please remember that nutritional supplementation does not replace a balance lifestyle consisting of proper nutrition, plenty of rest, the management of stress, exercise and weight management. Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach and personal chef. He holds many other certification and specialties within nutrition and specializes in lifestyle and weight management.

Electricity prices set to rise again on May 1 Lifestyle – As expected, the price of electricity will go up again May 1. The Ontario Energy Board announced last week the new electricity price increases that will apply to most households and small businesses. The price for consumers is increasing by about $2.83 per month on the ‘electricity’ line, or about 2.4 per cent on the total bill, for a household with a typical consumption pattern of 800 kWh per month. When the prices change May 1, the hours for midpeak and on-peak prices also
change to the summer time-ofuse hours. The lowest-priced, off-peak period remains from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekdays and all day weekends and holidays. The Ontario Energy Board reviews electricity prices twice each year based on updated cost estimates. As well as electricity, the market price of natural gas has risen during the long winter. However for some the impact of forecast higher gas prices is cushioned due to previously signed contracts with natural gas and other generators.
The forecast for higher costs includes more generation in the next 12 months from sources including renewables. Time-of-use prices vary based on when electricity is being used. They encourage consumers to use electricity during lower-cost times. The energy board reports that most Ontario households use about two-thirds of their power (64 per cent) during offpeak hours. The price changes only affect households and small businesses who buy their electricity from their local utility.
Flood warning: Water, electricity a lethal mix News - With flooding occurring or imminent in many areas in Eastern Ontario, the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) is reminding Ontarians that there is a heightened risk of electric shock when water makes contact with electrical systems. Follow electrical safety steps could save your life, or the lives of first responders and utility personnel working in the area: If flooding has occurred: • Do not enter your basement if you know or suspect water has risen above the level of electrical outlets, baseboard heaters, furnace or is near your electrical panel.
• Watch out for downed powerlines in floodaffected areas. If you see one, stay back 11 metres or the length of a school bus. • If you need to leave your home because flooding is imminent and there is no floodwater in your basement: Disconnect the power to your home. ESA reminds everyone to ensure that the power has been disconnected to the entire property before entering to avoid shock and electrocution. This includes outbuildings that contain electrical equipment or are connected to the electrical system. For more information, visit www.esasafe.com.

Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2014 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil. Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essen al to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not inďŹ nite. A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over me your soil can become nutrient deďŹ cient, compacted or thin which can make it diďŹ&#x192;cult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, pH balanced and has excellent lth, allowing for easy air and water ďŹ&#x201A;ow. Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients. How can you take a red, dull soil and turn it into a great soil? This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic ma er. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with exis ng soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.
The ideal me to introduce organic ma er into your growing areas is in the late Fall. This allows the beneďŹ cial microorganisms in your soil more me to become ac ve before gardening season arrives. While in a perfect world we would all earmark some me for soil amending before the frost, for many of us, our ďŹ&#x201A;ower beds are far from priority number one when the cold weather starts to set in.
year, interest free forgivable loan to homeowners based on the cost of approved work items up to $10,000. In addition, funding for accessibility repairs made to a home and/or unit up to a maximum of $3,500 is based upon the cost of approved work items, is in the form of a grant and does not require repayment. The application must provide supporting information and documentation as required. For more information on this program, or to request an application package, call 613-4323679. Residents of the County of Renfrew can also download the application package by visitingwww.countyofrenfrew.on.ca.
mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes par cles of diďŹ&#x20AC;erent sizes and shapes. This results in improved airďŹ&#x201A;ow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compac on. The organicbased soil will also provide excellent water reten on; something your plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots will really appreciate.
Not to worry though! Even if you missed the window last Fall, you can s ll get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real diďŹ&#x20AC;erence in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premium Lawn and Garden Soil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.
Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6â&#x20AC;? soil depth (pro p â&#x20AC;&#x201C; top oďŹ&#x20AC; your growing areas with 2â&#x20AC;? of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.). Step two - go get your soil, or be er yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle. Step three - ll or turn over the exis ng soil in your growing areas. Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that easy.
Manderleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soil mix is a 100% natural product consis ng of black earth, organic fer lizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial ac vity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to
Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the ďŹ rst step in reaching your garden goals for 2014. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be amazed at the diďŹ&#x20AC;erence.

Elk, anyone? Willem Van Eeghen shares information on the various products offered by the Elk Ranch at last Saturday’s Easter Market on the Carp Fairgrounds. There were plenty of vendors in the agriculture hall, but not so many in the rotunda building, on account of the farmers just getting going now after a long winter. The Carp Farmers’ Market opens for the summer season on May 10, offering everything from honey by an Arnprior beekeeper, Russ Corbett, to work by artists from throughout the valley, to locally grown produce.

Hospice a valuable resource for the whole Valley Denise Groves
Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; She was an icon, she was our rock. Her name was Ernestine St. Louis, but everyone knew her as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Teenieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. She was called many names - Mom, Memere, Grandma, GreatGrandma and we all loved her dearly and still do in our hearts. Our Dad passed away leaving her alone in a huge house without a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence at age 65. She was determined to be independent, so went out and bought herself a car and had no problems getting her learners and then her licence within four months. After seven years she sold the house where they had raised their family of nine children and moved into a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment. She continued to be extremely independent until she started to feel ill and complaining about her stomach swelling. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really notice as she was always dressed so stylishly with clothes that complimented her shape. We were shocked with the diagnosis of advanced ovarian cancer in the summer of 2010 with the prognosis of possibly three months with palliative chemo for comfort only. After enduring palliative chemo for nine months, her treatments came to an end. She was referred to Hospice Renfrew for consult visitations for symptom control, thus the beginning of her journey with the most compassionate, loving people all of us ever had the privilege of being introduced to. Mom accepted her destiny with dignity. Being a fervent Catholic she ensured us that she lived a good life and was ready to move on. She called Hospice Renfrew her home and
the staff and volunteers there her extended family. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before she held each and every staff member dearly in her heart. She could sense when they were in need of assistance also and prayed for them and was proud of their acErnestine St. Louis found complishments. She loved ev- a home away from home ery one of them at Hospice Renfrew. and they in turn showed her such compassion, kindness and love, that she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for more. We, the family, always felt so welcome and over time became very close with them. The staff, and when we say staff we mean everyone including volunteers, never neglected to give her the comfort she needed with each declining stage. It was never a question of her having to suffer in any way. When she was in pain, it would be taken care of; when she was feeling down, they had enough hugs and loving words to bring a smile to her face. And not just for our Mom, but to us the family, they recognized our needs as well and provided us with a shoulder to lean on, hugs and words of comfort to add a ray of sunshine to our day. We would draw comfort in knowing that when we went back to our own home at night,
AND SAVE!
it was with peace of mind that she was well taken care of. In her final stage, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave her any more and spent our nights with her as well. She always tried to be in control of her destiny even with recommendations from medical staff. The Hospice Renfrew staff go above and beyond caring for their patients, always there when needed, always ready to make their patients as comfortable as they possibly can; the volunteers always with a smile, ready to provide whatever is needed to make patients and family feel so much at home. The gardeners giving in to patient`s every whim â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mom voiced one day that it would be nice to have a lilac bush planted in their gardens, even though she knew she would never see it, but she could envision it, and it was done. Volunteers took turns to come in and bake cookies, muffins or squares, always leaving the most delightful aromas floating around the kitchen and making it around to the rooms, drawing you in to sample some. Flowers were always in abundance and brightened up the rooms filling the place with beautiful colors all the time. Every room is equipped with a large window and Mom would take such great pleasure watching the deer that would come up to the feeders, the antics of the black and red squirrels, and the plentiful birds always coming for a drink or a bath in the bird bath outside her window, which she kept a watchful eye on and would comment when it was empty knowing staff would quickly fill it for her. The care that Hospice Renfrew staff and volunteers give is phenomenal and the patients are
comfortable at all times. So comfortable that at times Mom actually believed that she shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there, that she was taking up a room that someone else needed more. Living in the Valley, you end up meeting a lot of people you know in there, from neighbours, relatives, friends and their friends, and all being there for the same reason, find comfort in each other. You become like one big family and treated like family by all the wonderful staff. What a great resource to have here in the Valley where within reasonable distance we should be so fortunate to have. In 2013, we participated in the Hike for Hospice and Mom was overjoyed watching us prepare for the hike in her room. She was so excited and proud with our team approach and with the beginning of our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Team Teenieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; theme. This year our family will proudly participate in the hike on Sunday, May 4 and don our special t-shirts once again in support of Hospice Renfrew and in memory of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Teenieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, our Mom, Memere, Grandma and Great-Grandma. Hospice Renfrew is such a much needed establishment to have in our community providing end of life care for terminally ill family members. While they are partially government funded, they also rely substantially on volunteers and the generosity of greatly needed donations for support. Mom was an angel of life, but Hospice Renfrew staff are surely angels of mercy! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom, you will always remain in our hearts forever and it was a privilege to have shared our lives with you.â&#x20AC;? Her last words to us were â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love you, God bless.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love you too Mom, God bless.â&#x20AC;?

Connected to your community
Creativity Blitz set for nature reserve News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; What better way to explore your own creativity than in the natural beauty of the 200-acre High Lonesome Nature Reserve, a Pakenham-area property conserved in perpetuity by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy. On Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., young and old alike are invited to participate in the first ever Creativity Blitz at this oasis of tranquility in the Pakenham Hills. Join with others and connect with nature and explore your creative side. Admission is free. Registration opens at 9 a.m. on May 3. There will be volunteers available to get participants started. Some of the possibilities include: â&#x20AC;˘ arranging natural materials and objects found on the ground into your creative piece; â&#x20AC;˘ bringing your own art supplies, musical instrument, poetry book, journal; â&#x20AC;˘ coming with nothing but a willingness to open your eyes, ears and senses. Let your imagination soar, urge organizers.
No artistic experience is necessary and there will be many opportunities to participate in collaborative creative projects with mentors around to prompt and encourage. The emphasis is on creativity and nature â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not art or artists. Three special â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spots have been selected as focal points, but with the eight kilometres of trails winding through woodlands, by beaver ponds and through meadows, participants may just find that special spot that speaks to their soul and cries out for creative expression. There may be no Maypole, but dance around your favourite tree. Once you have completed your creation, take it for immediate display in the barn or submit a photo, a short video or a CD as a keepsake of your creativity and a tribute to the inspirational value of nature. On Sunday, continue on with your own creative project or simply appreciate the creative pieces on display. Maps will be provided. The Creativity Blitz takes place rain or shine, so dress
appropriately for the weather. Stay for the day. You can bring your own lunch and enjoy it outdoors. Directions: â&#x20AC;˘ Take County Road 29 to Pakenham Village; â&#x20AC;˘ Turn on Waba Road and continue west for 2.9 kilometres; â&#x20AC;˘ Turn left on Barr Side Road;
â&#x20AC;˘ Travel for 1.6 km; â&#x20AC;˘ Take the first left at Carbine Road and drive 4 km to 867 Carbine Rd. and you have arrived. A map with directions can be found on the MMLTC website at www.mmltc.ca. For more information, visit the website, send an email to Jacquie.christiani@bell. net or call 613-624-5530.
Mississippi naturalists offer bursary to area students News - Are you a high school student with an appreciation for the natural world? Do you have an interest in pursuing a career in environmental stewardship or conservation? Do you live within the Mississippi River watershed (Lanark Highlands, Perth, Mississippi Mills, West Carleton/March Ward, Carleton Place or Beckwith)? You could qualify for the 2014 Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary. It is awarded each year by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists to graduating secondary school students who will be undertaking post-secondary studies in an aspect of nature or an environmental field. Application forms are available from student services departments in area schools, or can be downloaded from the MVFN website at www.mvfn.ca. The deadline for applications is Friday, May 30. Two $600 awards will be given this year. The Nature Bursary Award was established in 2007 by MVFN members, along with friends and family members of Bennett, on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Bennett is one of the MVFNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founding mem-
bers and has a personal interest in fostering a love of nature in young people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to help two welldeserving students pursue the goal of higher education in a nature-related discipline,â&#x20AC;? says Bennett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had one student pursue a degree in marine biology at Dalhousie University, and another went into zoology at UBC. Some recipients follow their passion in environmental stewardship by entering the Fish and Wildlife Technology program at Sir Sanford Fleming, or studying biotechnology at St. Lawrence College. MEETING CHALLENGES
â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is an increasing demand today for professionals with an environmental background who can deal with the challenges of the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The MVFN would like to play a small role in furthering these possibilities.â&#x20AC;? For additional details, students can contact Mike Keffer of the Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary Committee at 613-256-8686, or send an email to naturebursary@ gmail.com.

TOURISM

The place is the product, says tourism expert Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com
News - The tourism industry is evolving, and the Burnstown-Calabogie area is well positioned to grow its reach to domestic and international travellers. In the first week of April, Steven Thorne of TEAM Tourism Consulting – an expert in place-based cultural tourism – spent three days in Calabogie and area, assessing the region’s potential and hosting an information-andstakeholder input session. His objective at an April 3 seminar was to illustrate why place is the key to cultural tourism and how to unlock its treasures and economic dividends. “Simply put, the place is the product,” Thorne said. His assessment and final report based on local interviews and the workshop will be presented to Greater Madawaska council and the Calabogie and Area Business Association (CABA) in the coming weeks. Implementing a place-based tourism strategy will take time. The first step would be to define jurisdiction – whether a region or corridor. “Small is beautiful in place-based tourism,” said Thorne, noting any new strategy could include several “loop” tours. “It involves a lot of data collection,” he said. That work could include interviews, collecting oral histories and library research. Thorne is already impressed by what he sees in the Calabogie area. “I am delighted by what I find here,” said

Thorne. “What I’ve seen here, and I’ve seen only a sampling, has really thrilled me.” He was particularly “blown away” by Neat Cafe in Burnstown, which he said offers worldclass musical acts, terrific food and great coffee. “There’s a lot that seems to be around every corner,” he said. The goal, he said, is to weave all the community has to offer into a tapestry of experience. “It’s about a social fabric, a pride of place,” said Thorne. Thorne’s audience identified some of the challenges that lie ahead, like how you get local people to buy into the importance of tourism, and how you craft an identity from a broad

Heritage Tourism: A Handbook for Community Champions. Canada’s tourism industry generated $82.4 billion in annual revenue in 2012 and created 608,500 direct or indirect jobs. Thorne said the market is out there to be tapped as culture-based tourism is “growing in leaps and bounds.” Statistics point to a healthy baby boom population – a group that is largely mortgage-free and poised to inherit up to $10 trillion from their parents. Among this group, many want to explore different cultures with an emphasis on learning enrichment and fun, with all appeal to all five senses. They want experiences that are “distinctive, authentic and memorable.” “A destination’s most strategic asset is its cultural character; its sense of place,” Thorne said. He encourages communities to capitalize on history and heritage, using a strategy based on narrative and stories, landscape, streetscape and people. Thorne also promotes creating “a web of interconnectivity” comprised of human heritage, agriculture and industry, the arts, cuisine and natural history. As people we shape the land we inherit, and the land shapes us, he said.

range of conflicting interests and beliefs. Thorne said the objective is to market a region’s people, history and culture, not just tourist attractions. “Cultural travellers typically are very interested in who you are,” he said. It takes time to create a cultural identity as strong as, say, Newfoundland and Labrador, which has crafted a tourism strategy around the warmth of the people and cultural uniqueness from dialect to architecture. “I would say it’s an evolutionary process,” Thorne said. The tiny village of Wilno was cited as a good example of a Renfrew County tourism success story; a community that is reaping the rewards of cultural identity. During the seminar a woman from Perth also recounted her experience promoting local theatre, and how having local people as greeters adds to the visitor experience. The bottom line is having pride in your community, its history and people, and wanting to share that with others. For the past decade, Thorne has helped communities to identify their cultural tourism assets. He contributed to, and was an editorial advisor for, the publication Cultural and
News - The annual Ottawa Valley Tourism Conference and AGM will be held Tuesday, April 29 at Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort. Communication is the focus of this year’s conference and will feature informative sessions and the chance for business participants to win free photography sessions, graphic design consultations and advertising opportunities. In keeping with the theme, a presentation on Media Communications in the 21st Century will be given by Jamie Bramburger, manager of community and student services at Algonquin College’s Waterfront Campus in Pembroke. Other conference bonuses include interactive table-top sessions. Participants will have the option of joining a session on media releases versus media advisories, grant writing or the power of social media. All sessions will be led by Algonquin College instructors. “The goal of the table-top sessions is to give our members and conference participants practical working tips and templates that they can easily incorporate into the everyday promotion of their tourism businesses,” said communica-
tions co-ordinator Christine Mitchell. “It’s about getting back to the basics of creating those key partnerships with the media and communicating your message effectively.” The day will also feature presentation of the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association’s inaugural tourism awards, the Marilyn Alexander Tourism Champion Award and the OVTA Business of Distinction Award. The event is sponsored by Metroland Media: The Renfrew Mercury and Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort, myFM radio, Ottawa Outdoors Magazine, the Daily Observer, Michael Moncion Photography, Framing and Art Gallery, Present Photography, Creative Spark Graphic Design, GoldFish Communications Inc., and Calabogie and Area Business Association, and supported by the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization. Registration costs $75 for OVTA members and $90 for non-members and includes all sessions, lunch and refreshments.

MORTGAGES
Buster was a valley legend in both step dancing and violin. He made a life time career out of both performing and teaching. Buster started step dancing in Ottawa at the age of nine and was teaching at the age of twelve. When he started teaching in the Valley, he had to hire a driver because he was too young to have a license. From there, things only went up for Buster, and culminated when he captured the North American Step Dancing Champion title for not one or two, but three consecutive years. He also toured with Don Messer across Canada and on special occasions, was even ďŹ&#x201A;own in to Messerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jubilee show in Halifax to perform. At sixteen he travelled across Canada and the US with Messer for 3 months performing 72 one night shows. Over the years he performed on TV and Jamborees with artists such as Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Mel Tillis, Graham Townsend and Al Cherny in locations from Nashville to Las Vegas. In spite of the time commitments that come with performing, he kept pushing both dancing and ďŹ ddle to generations of students in the Valley and Ottawa. Buster Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Steppers, a hand picked group of young dancers, became famous in their own right. Many of his students carried on performing and teaching in their own adult years. Some achieving outstanding recognition on an international stage. These include April Verch as well as Jon and Nathan Pilatzke. It became his life long work, but it was also his life long love. As illness confronted him, he persisted in continuing to teach as he had started, by hiring a driver to take him to and from lessons. For his efforts in both performing and teaching, he received many awards. The icing on the cake was his induction into the Ottawa Valley Country Hall of Fame in 2003.

Dawson to unveil Rattlesnake Cage CD at Burnstown concert
Cheryl GALLANT
Your Member of Parliament Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Constituency Office 84 Isabella St. Pembroke ON K8A 5S5 (Tel) 613-732-4404 (Fax) 613-732-4697
www.cherylgallant.com Canada’s continued economic strength under our Conservative Government is something all Canadians can be proud of. Together we have weathered the global economic recession better than most, we have the best job creation record and the best debt-to-GDP ratio among G7 countries, and we are consistently named one of the best countries in the world to do business. Our Conservative Government is building on that strong record by expanding Canada’s trade. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, our Conservative Government is continuing to pursue the most ambitious trade agenda in Canadian history. When our Government first came into office, Canada had only 5 free trade agreements. Now, Canada has agreements with 43 countries. By opening up new markets for Canadian goods we can help grow the economy and create jobs. At the same time, free trade gives Canadian families more choices and lower prices when they go shopping. A local example of why free trade agreements are important is the recent announcement by Pembroke Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) to re-open after a prolonged shutdown. Pembroke MDF is part of the global supply chain in the new world economy that free trade agreements are intended to benefit from. We depend on exports for jobs. While Canada’s housing market avoided the crash experienced in our principal market due in part to more conservative lending standards and a stronger economy, the drop in US housing starts led to the local shutdown. With Pembroke’s sister plant in the global supply chain now operating at full capacity, Pembroke MDF is well situated for the economic recovery now underway. This is big news for our local economy. The start of the Pembroke MDF brings back to work 110 employees, with the possibility of 40 more full time employees when the moulding plant gets restarted. Pembroke MDF will directly affect the operations of 19 local lumber mills, 58 timber harvesting business, 15 trucking companies and forest management companies with a total employment of 1.895. Indirectly, Pembroke MDF will engage local businesses in various sectors such as manufacturing service, trucking and logistics, maintenance and related operations representing another 1,500 employees. With a conservative multiplier representing the engaged support businesses and institutions across Eastern Ontario, an operating Pembroke MDF affects over 6,280 workers in Renfrew County and will contribute indirectly to another 1,069 jobs. When our Conservative Government first took office, we made it a priority to help grow Canada’s exports and sign important free trade agreements to help create jobs and opportunities, here in Renfrew County and across the country. As a result of our Conservative Government’s hard work, Canada now has free trade agreements with 43 nations. Free trade agreements do not just appear, the way members of the Opposition in Ottawa think budgets “just balance themselves.” Free Trade Agreements create jobs and opportunities for Canadians across the country. Not only do they benefit Canadian consumers, they are good news for farmers, the aerospace industry like Haley Industries/Magellan Aerospace and the forestry sector, to name a few. Canadian businesses, investors and consumers in every province benefit significantly from the increased market access. By helping expand Canada’s trade, our Government is continuing to help Canadian businesses grow and create jobs, while giving Canadian families more choice and lower prices for everyday goods. By negotiating free trade agreements our Government is helping give Canada a global competitive advantage, and helping Canadian companies expand and create more jobs. At the same time, we are also helping deliver more choice and lower prices for families here at home. Canadians can count on our Conservative Government to continue delivering on our ambitious trade agenda.
Lifestyle - Steve Dawson is releasing his new CD Rattlesnake Cage at a show in Burnstown at Neat Cafe tonight (Thursday, April 24). The new solo, totally instrumental album is entirely self-penned and is his first album release since moving to ‘music city’ (Nashville) about seven months ago. He’s back in Canada to promote this acoustic project that sees him playing 6-string, 12-string and Weissenborn guitars “in his inimitable fingerpicking style,” says public relations spokeswoman Linda Bull. His Burnstown concert begins at 8 p.m. After Burnstown, Dawson performs in Montreal, St. John’s, Halifax, London, Huntsville, Toronto, Innisfil and Picton. “Anyone who can hear Dawson play and not be moved is made of stone,” said Penguin Eggs Magazine. A news release on Dawson’s new release said: “Sometimes it’s best to just put up a microphone in a room, sit down and play your guitar … This is the record that Steve Dawson’s

“Until now, hearing the sweet melodies and deep soul of Steve playing solo guitar has been a treat reserved for live audiences in intimate settings,” the release goes on to say. “These new simple and unadorned recordings hearken back to the American Primitive sound that John Fahey and other artists such as Peter Lang and Leo Kottke recorded on Fahey’s iconic Takoma record label in the sixties – instrumental music informed by the deep traditions of blues, ragtime, jazz and even Hawaiian music, but taking those influences in unexpected directions.” After success both as a performer
and producer in his native Canada (including seven Juno Awards as an artist and producer), Dawson relocated to Nashville to begin a new chapter. “The fluidity of Steve’s playing makes what he does sound so effortless that it’s easy to forget that it takes years of disciplined practice to achieve such an apparent simplicity,” the news release notes. “There are lots of guitar virtuosos out there who can reel off a dizzying array of notes at lightning speed, and Dawson can certainly do that, but at a certain point, great players like him realize that sometimes less is more.”

Valley singer-songwriter James Leclaire in his comfort zone, with his guitar.
By, Leclaire’s storytelling through escapism is best portrayed in My Best Clothes. That song is about being dressed to the nines … for his own funeral. “I wasn’t trying to be morbid, it was just what came out,” said Leclaire, 38, who was strumming his guitar and humming a melody that included the words ‘my best clothes’. Pursuing those words, he got to thinking that people often wear their best clothes to church, so why not to one’s own funeral. Reverting back to reallife experiences, Leclaire uses his dad as the focus of one of his favourite songs in his rookie album, Stay for a While. The song is The Ballad of Ron Leclaire, in which James uses a ‘talking’ song to tell the story of his dad’s stick-to-it attitude and high work ethic, and how much his dad had done for him. After playing the song a few years ago, Leclaire recalls how a heavy-metal
