M-B council cites ‘liability’ as reason to reject RV park Derek Dunn

INSIDE INSIDE
It came down to risks involved in leasing the land. That’s what ultimately convinced McNab-Braeside not to allow an RV park at Clay Bank Park. “The prime reason is that leasing the property is not in the best interests of the people of McNab-Braeside,� Mayor Tom Peckett said. “The liability involved, the length of time the lease was proposed for was to my mind way too long. So on the advice from our lawyer and planner, we de-

cided not to go ahead with it.� For weeks now the controversial topic of a 200-site RV park and campground at the public park off White Lake Road has been debated among residents. Some favoured the chance for additional tax revenue to the township, a few jobs for area youth, tourist dollars for area businesses and more. Many living closest to the site worried about late night partying, heavy traffic, ecological impacts and lower property values. See RV PARK Page 6

Every rose has its thorn, as Arnprior woman finds out Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Were you on the receiving end of a bouquet of red roses during the mid-April? Roses with white filler, purchased at Metro in Arnprior? You might want to look twice at the man who gave them. An elderly woman, who asked that her name be withheld for fear of repercussions, came to the Chronicle-Guide office on April 21 complaining she
was robbed a few days before. “I can’t believe this could happen in Arprior,� she said, her voice faltering. “I’m an old lady.� It happened when the flowers she bought had somehow – either from the wind or a person – came out of the two-wheeled cart she was pulling. Moments later she spotted a man in his 40s or 50s, on an older bike with balloon tires and sporting a ball cap, with the flowers. She is certain because her
card had fallen off. “Thank you for finding my flowers,� she said to the man. He laughed. “So I said it again. ‘Thank you for finding my flowers.’ And he kept laughing and counting them.� She then offered a tip for their return. He again laughed and took off down Daniel Street. “Well, I went back to my apartment full of tears and trembling. They were just flowers. But it makes you lose your faith in humanity a little bit.�
She mentioned the incident to her neighbour, not thinking anything good can come out of it. However, good did come out of it not long after that. “I opened the door and there were my flowers. She went and bought new ones for me.� Touched by the gesture, the victim wanted to publicly thank her friend. And possibly alert whoever received her original flowers that – like the 1980s Poison song says – every rose has its thorn.

To the relief of staff and customers, the Hart department store in the Arnprior Shopping Centre reopened Thursday, April 23, a week after it was suddenly locked out by the mall’s owner. The mall abruptly ordered the store closed April 15, citing rent payment due. However, Hart Stores Inc. countered by disclosing it had taken the shopping centre to court for money it claimed it was owed because of contract violations such as failure to repair a leaky roof. While there is no word that dispute is settled, obviously the mall and Harts have come to some sort of accommodation to allow the business to reopen. Staff are also optimistic the short closure will lead to a long-term resolution of the dispute. In a statement April 23, Toronto lawyer Adam J. Wygodny, speaking for the store, said: “Hart Stores Inc. (‘Hart’) is pleased to announce the reopening of its store at the Arnprior Shopping Centre ‌ Hart looks forward to continuing to serve the people of Arnprior, the Ottawa Valley and the sur-

Shop locally campaign growing in popularity John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
An Arnprior shop locally promotion is growing by leaps and bounds. The Live Love Local initiative sponsored by the Town of Arnprior and the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce is continuing to add participating businesses and attracting more shopper interest. There were 143 entries in the latest draw for a $100 gift card that is won each month this year as part of the promotion. That’s up substantially from the 30, 60 and 90 cards that were entered in the first three draws. The latest winner is Allyson Egan of Arnprior, who is a big fan of the program. “It’s wonderful ‌ very nice to reward shopping locally ‌ it’s good for everybody,â€? she said. The earlier winners were Michelle Baroud (January), Patricia MacNeil (February) and Alice Lavigne (March). To take part in the shop local campaign, shoppers pick up a Live, Love, Local card at one of the more than 50 participating businesses
and start collecting stamps. As of last week, there were 49 businesses in the program, with at least four more in the process of being added. Once shoppers have 10 stamps by making purchases at any of the program’s businesses, they can fill out the back of the card and enter it in the draw. The filled-out cards can be dropped off 24 hours a day in the mail slot in the front door at Town Hall at 105 Elgin St. West. A draw is held on the first Monday of every month at 8:30 a.m. with the winner receiving a gift card valued at $100 that can be used at any of the Live, Love, Local participating businesses. The promotion was created to emphasize the benefits of shopping locally. “By doing business locally, you not only get personal service and real value, you also help strengthen our local community and economy,� is the mantra behind the campaign. To view a list of participating businesses and find out more information about the promotion, visit www.arnprior.ca/shop-local.

Scottish Festival plans $5 admission fee Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The township recreation committee has hit its stride after a few stumbles with the last McNab-Braeside council. The committee made three recommendations and asked for direction on another topic, all of which were welcomed during the April 21 council meeting. The group – comprised of Ryan Marcellus, Jason Marshall, John Robertson, Monique Keenleyside, Darcy Wall, Matt Arseneau, and township recreation director Geoff Patterson – are dealing with Scottish Festival issues. The festival, a McNab Days event, has proposed an admission fee for the first time. The $5 is meant to recuperate cost; the goodwill offering from past years hasn’t covered everything. Another ticket of $12 in advance and $15 at the door is proposed for concert by the Mudmen, a popular Celtic rock band.
The charges need council’s approval before being included in the fees and charges bylaw. TRAILS PROPOSAL
The committee suggested a ‘Trails focus group’ set up to help improve and expand the existing trail system within the township. Volunteers will be recruited to help out. A second recommendation is to waive the rental fees at the Braeside RA Centre for the Zumba classes. It would only be on a trial basis until the feasibility of having it become a permanent part of the recreation department’s programming is established. The third recommendation is that the municipality formally recognize, prior to a council meeting, township athletes that have achieved recognition on the provincial or higher level. The recreation committee will nominate candidates.
The former recreation committee – formed under the last administration –were often at odds with council over its mandate and role during the contentious service agreements dispute with Arnprior. ADVICE SOUGHT
Among the campaign commitments made by a number of those now sitting on McNab-Braeside council was a vow to empower residents by bringing them into the decision-making process. The recreation committee is one such advisory group, but others still require participants. The newly formed trails focus group, along with a property standards committee, an economic development committee, and a sustainability committee all require volunteer members. On the latter, Coun. Mark MacKenzie said two people have shown interest but that at least one more is needed.

From PMS to Menopause the journey of womanhood
First we can’t wait to grow up, just to find out that it’s not all bells and whistles. The moment we experience our first menses, our life changes. Many girls have mixed feelings. Body physique and skin changes are only some external and visible signs, but many women, from teenager to grandma, try and hide the real deep seated issues of womanhood.
Devastating menstrual pains can cause headaches, constipation, nausea, doubling over and in extreme cases a potential loss of consciousness. Some women are bedridden. Emotions and feelings might be rampant and anxiety can strike. It’s no fun not for the person, nor for their families. Some women are lucky and have close to no issues and others for unknown reasons, seem to take the brunch of it. Stop fighting it! I know what you are going through. I’ve had my own severe struggle.

It’s McNab-Braeside’s version of Watergate. Gategate is not as well known. It isn’t even a scandal. But Gategate shares one thing in common with the lengthy series of events involving subterfuge and sleuthing that eventually led to the downfall of a U.S. president: its time frame. For at least 12 years now the issue of whether to open a township gate has popped up at public meetings, growing more frequent in recent weeks. It invariably gets set aside until more information is brought forward. Residents living along Mill Ridge Drive have written letters, many letters, mostly opposing the proposal to unlock the chain. Some offer a lot detail. Mayor Tom Peckett even took the time to travel to the site, where the gate meets Terry Thomson’s extensive property. He took pictures. The last couple of township meetings – one planning committee, one council - have been filled with spectators; many of whom share a keen interest in learning the upshot. Will the gate be opened or not? “What appeared to me in the beginning as a straight-forward thing has blossomed into something more,� Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden said at the April 21 council meeting. He managed to delay a decision for at least another two weeks to give him time to visit the site. (Council is still smarting after a similar decision to open a gate for snowmobilers last winter. Miscommunication was followed by snowmobiler overreach,
which was followed by upset stakeholders on all sides.) The crux of the gate problem is this: Thomson wants it opened to allow farm equipment on his property. Some neighbours fear an ulterior motive to allow monster trucks in. However, there was confusion for some time over the township-owned land beneath the gate. Is it a “road allowance� capable of legally carrying vehicles, or an easement that only permits individuals and emergency vehicles? “It’s not a road access,� Peckett said at the meeting. “I was under the impression it was a road access. But it’s not. It’s a township easement.� That seemed to settle the issue for him, though he didn’t state it explicitly. He recommends (as he did months ago when the issue first arose) that the chain be widened enough to permit someone to squeeze between the gates, under the lock. That would let neighbour kids continue to fish and swim, play pond hockey in winter, and safely travel to and fro between their homes. It would also head off the township’s liability if someone were to climb the fence and fall off, injuring themselves. Thomson had at least one supporter and her son at the meeting. Rae Ann Porter encouraged council to think of the kids’ safety. She also thanked Thomson, as she does regularly, for allowing children to play on his property. Gategate may not be as sensational as a president’s impeachment, but it has caused some division and hurt feelings in the community. And feelings are feelings, no matter the issue.
The majority of women are concerned with the prevention of a pregnancy for most of their lives. Questions like which option is the right one for me? For my body, my health, my morals or religion? swirl through their heads. On the other hand, only the woman who wants to conceive and so far can’t, knows the endless pain associated with fertility issues when she sees yet another stroller in front of her, to hear a joyeus laughter of a toddler or to observe a sleeping baby in mom’s arms. The irony is, it’s devastating to become pregnant if you don’t want to, but it’s even more devastating if you’d like to start a family and you can’t. Heilkunst helps with both, but it is always again a privilege and honour to aid in the creation of a new family. Stay tuned for our next write up on Menopause.

Council hears details of town’s first rodeo Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
AD The Arnprior Stampede is adding an PROOF extra day just for the kids, Glen HowFORM ard, one of the directors of the rodeo committee and Arnprior Agricultural
Dr. Corrine Motluk
Dr. Alan Franzmann
Society representative, told Arnprior council Monday. Howard highlighted the first-time event at the regular meeting of council on April 27. The June 13-14 weekend will bring into Arnprior nearly 300 cowboys and cowgirls from the International Professional Rodeo Association from five different countries. Friday, June 12 will be added as ‘Rodeo Education Day’, when elementary school students will be invited to the fairgrounds. Howard is planning for 500 students to be involved. The idea is for them to learn aspects of the rodeo and see a mini-
rodeo. Ontario Power Generation is a sponsor and plans on giving its presentation on water safety. Howard noted that even if teachers are on strike at that time, kids are welcome to attend the education day regardless, free of charge. McDonald’s is expected to be offering 500 gift bags. Throughout the weekend, the curling club is playing host to a cowboy breakfast. There is an anticipation of 20 vendors on site and eight of them specifically for food – such as beavertails. Team penning is another event to
watch. Visitors to the grounds can expect to hear the music of the likes of Threes a Crowd and Lipstick Rodeo during the course of the rodeo. Dry camping will also be offered. Howard had a few asks of council to be discussed at a later date. He wanted extra bleachers like those all ball diamonds, picnic benches and crowd barriers. Also, he asked if council is willing to help with paid duty for the OPP. Howard also cleared up the entry costs. Children’s 12 and under admission is priced at $10 beforehand and $12 at gate. The idea is if the children can fill up a seat, they
should pay. He added parents with children at nine months old, as an example age, wouldn’t have to worry about the ticket price. PROCLAMATIONS

NOTICE
Activation of Reduced Load Period on All Township Roads Take notice that reduced load restrictions (five (5) tonnes per axle) will be in force on all Township Roads effective Monday, March 16th, 2015. The reduced load period is necessary for the protection of all Township Roads which are susceptible to damage during the spring thaw. The restriction will be removed when the likelihood of road damage has diminished. For enquiries about reduced loads please contact The Corporation of the Township of Lanark Highlands Public Works Department at 613-259-2398. 6 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, April 30, 2015
“We can’t just delegate away that liability because we are in a lease arrangement,” Armsden said. “We’re still responsible.” He added that the proponent would have had many hurdles to go through with the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Natural Resources and other stakeholders. Finally, his day job has him in the realm of copyright law and architectural design. That someone appeared to have altered the township’s original design of Clay Bank Park and presented it to council came as a surprise. “I was taken aback, that the plans were altered. It’s definitely frowned upon in the industry,” Armsden said. “I was a little bit surprised. I don’t even know how he got it (the original plan). No one on the current staff gave it to him.”
also considering at the same time. “It was great to see we were on the same page, we just didn’t have an avenue to get those issues out to the public. She did.” Armsden was clear to say that turning down Madawaska Shore’s proposal doesn’t prove council is anti-business. There are many other developments underway in the community, and that Bob Wachna should be thanked for bringing forward an idea. “It was a good idea. An RV park is a good idea in the right place. It just didn’t work for us on that site,” he said. Armsden said liability was the biggest issue for him: were a massive fire to erupt or the Leda clay give way, the cost would fall back on the municipality.

Public school trustee to leave July 1 Both public, Catholic The Renfrew County public school board is looking for a trustee for the Arnprior-McNab-Braeside area. Glenn Miller, who was elected to the board on his ďŹ rst try last October, will step down from the position on July 1. He made the announcement during the April 21 school board meeting, citing health reasons. After ďŹ rst meeting with school district senior administration, Miller read a prepared statement to his fellow board members: “Due to medical reasons I regret to inform the board, as of July 1, 2015, I must relinquish my position as school board trustee for the Arnprior, McNabBraeside area,â€? Miller said. “I would like to thank everyone for supporting me through the last few
months of illnesses. With an upcoming liver transplant, I feel I will miss too much time, which is not fair to the board or the communities I serve.â€? Following his announcement, Miller was congratulated for his work by the other board members and director of education Roger Clarke. When the ofďŹ ce of a trustee becomes vacant from any cause before the expiration of the term, other than during the one month immediately preceding an election, the board is required to ďŹ ll the vacancy. The board has the option of appointing “a qualiďŹ ed personâ€? or holding a by-election within 90 days after the ofďŹ ce becomes vacant. The board is expected to make that decision prior to July

Glenn Miller: cites health reasons for resignation
Catholic education week celebrated May 3-8 Across the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board, students will mark Catholic Education Week May 3–8 with a wide range of special events. The theme of this yearʟs province-wide celebration is Exploring Paths of Joy. Five sub-themes, one for each day of Catholic Education Week (CEW), are aimed at helping staff and students to reect more fully on what Exploring Paths of Joy asks of them: Walking Together and Sharing Our Stories, Opening the Scriptures, Welcoming Others to
the Table, Recognizing Jesus in the Breaking of the Bread, and Proclaiming the Good News. “Catholic Education Week gives us a chance to celebrate the joy of learning and growing as JesusĘź disciples in our Catholic schools. This is really what Catholic education is all about,â€? said Tony Cosentino, the boardĘźs religious and family life education resource teacher. See JOINT MASS, Page 13
With a secondary school teachers strike now affecting two Ontario school boards, Renfrew County students and parents are wondering if they might be next. The Ontario Secondary School TeachersĘź Federation had said it is considering a full withdrawal of services in seven Ontario school districts by the end of April if the provincial government didnĘźt back down from its “hard lineâ€? in negotiations. The ďŹ rst walk-out last week in the Whitby-Oshawa area was followed up this week with a strike in the Sudbury area. While Renfrew County isnĘźt on the list of seven, the labour dispute could escalate to a province-wide walkout if the two sides donĘźt come to some sort of accommodation. The teachers maintain that the province as well as implementing a wage freeze is trying to change working conditions that will make it more difďŹ cult for teachers to properly do their jobs. Meanwhile, saying their working conditions are under attack, Ontario English Catholic TeachersĘź Association (OECTA) members have voted 94.2 per cent in favour strike action if needed. The teachers in OntarioĘźs Catholic schools could walk out of class as early as May 10 after their province-wide vote last Friday. The 50,000-member OECTA maintains the governmentĘźs stand goes far beyond demands for a wage freeze by trying to take back many concessions granted in bargaining over several decades. The demands threaten studentsĘź learning conditions, claim the teachers. While the situation does not affect elementary schools yet, the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario is also upset with what they feel is lack of progress in negotiations. But it says it remains open to “meaningful bargaining.â€? Their members will also be in a legal strike position May 10.

EDITORIAL
Losers are winners, so are fans
T
hey lost, but they can hold their heads high. And the fans shouldnĘźt be despondent, or angry or feel let down. They should be proud of the resiliency and heart shown by the Ottawa Senator players in the last two months. There is plenty we can learn from the teamĘźs amazing run since mid-February when almost everyone had written off their season as a failure. Now, despite the ďŹ rst round loss to the worldĘźs best goaltender in a series that with a couple of lucky bounces could have gone the other way, the future looks bright for the small-market club. The Sens showed why you should never give up hope. That no matter how low on the totem pole, you can make a difference with hard work (thank you Andrew Hammond). That todayĘźs youth do have ambition, smarts, commitment and respect. That you donĘźt have to badger and harass and be obnoxious to get ahead (thank you Dave Cameron). That adversity can make you stronger. That if you wait your turn without jealousy or whining and let youth have their day, then your turn will eventually come (thank you Craig Anderson). That patience
and following a well-thought-out plan trumps grasping for a quick ďŹ x. That having faith in your players and employees more often than not pays off (thank you Brian Murray). Hockey has provided a welcome relief from the despair and sordidness that has permeated so much of the rest of the news lately. The SenatorsĘź wild ride has been invigorating for hockey fans, but itĘźs hardly been the only hockey story thatĘźs gladdened local hearts. In Arnprior, the Junior B Packers showed skill and class as they came within an overtime goal of doing great things in the playoffs. An Arnprior Atom Packers teamĘźs never-say-die attitude carried them unexpectedly to the ďŹ nals of a major tournament, delighting their fans. The Juvenile Packers had another spirited, success-laden year. Like the Senators, all of those teamsĘź seasons ended with a loss. And like the Senator players theyĘźre allowed to feel disappointed, but certainly not ashamed. No, they should feel proud of themselves for showing us that hockey doesnĘźt have to be about big bucks and inated egos, but can be about the pure joy of the game.
LETTER
It’s about time someone spoke up about the mall’s deterioration To the Editor: Hurrah for Hart store. Finally someone is ďŹ ghting back against the deterioration of Arnprior Shopping Centre. I walked into the Mall a week or so ago, wound my way around the garbage cans put in place under a gaping hole in the ceiling which was dripping steadily, only to ďŹ nd that the Hart Store, the only decent size department store in town, was not open. After reading the notice taped to the closed doors, I felt a profound sense of frustration, and then depression set in. Anyone who frequents the mall for any reason cannot help but notice the

steady deterioration of the infrastructure and the wealth of empty stores. On the one hand it astounds me that an indoor mall in this climate cannot make a go of it; on the other hand it is clearly evident that the owner does not care about the state of the building and this together with other factors is deterring tenants from renting space. Looking at all the leaks in the mall ceiling, public areas and within the stores you canĘźt help but wonder whether there is a potential public safety issue. Is this mall even structurally safe? Or does a section of the ceiling have to fall on someone ďŹ rst? Bad enough that stores have to

Why is the owner of this mall is continuing to let it deteriorate, who knows. The Town of Arnprior at least should insist that the owner maintain the mall in a manner that ensures public safety, and not only provide the public with assurances that the mall is in fact safe, but require that it be maintained it in such a condition that it is attractive not only to new tenants/
businesses but also to future potential residents of Arnprior. This shopping centee is located at a main exit into Arnprior, and in many ways acts as a gateway to downtown. Its current state is not going to entice anyone to look further.

The lies that wildflowers tell factory declarations are nothing less than a pack of lies. Rich hardwood forests are currently alive with spring wildflowers. Hepaticas are poking their white, pink, or purple heads from the dead leaves, and Dutchman’s Breeches and Spring Beauties are also making their annual appearance. While most early spring wildflowers are pollinated by insects attracted by the promise of nectar, a few species use rather unusual methods to achieve their underlying goal, which is to reproduce. Trilliums are of particular interest. I think it safe to say that everyone knows White Trilliums, our provincial flower (which incidentally has never been awarded special protection despite popular belief). White Trilliums Red Trilliums are one of the worst smelling wildflowers for good rea- are abundant in much of our area son.
When one thinks of deception, criminals and politicians might come to mind. However, Nature is also replete with dishonest representation. There are harmless flies that look like stinging wasps, and edible butterflies that are the spitting image of toxic species. Few people consider wildflowers capable of anything apart from producing seeds. Yet, among the hordes of eyepleasing beauties there are species whose visual and ol-
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way while Red Trilliums occur in lesser numbers. However for anyone living on the acidic Canadian Shield, the reverse is true, that is unless the area is underlain by calcium-rich marble, which creates a basic soil in which White Trilliums thrive. The Macnamara Trail is an excellent place for encountering White Trilliums growing in that environment. White Trilliums produce nectar (sugar water), which attracts a variety of thirsty insects. When visiting a White Trillium, an insect inadvertently
rubs against the flower’s strategically placed sexual parts, in the process delivering pollen acquired from another plant of that species, and picking up pollen from its meal ticket as it departs. Red Trilliums, however, behave quite a bit differently. These distinctive trilliums can only be confused with waning White Trilliums because the latter turn pink shortly after they are pollinated. Red Trilliums, however, are not pink but are more of a deep magenta. They differ not only in colour; Red Trilliums do not provide insect visitors with nectar and they don’t smell very nice. Quite frankly, they stink. Their odour has been likened to that arising from a dead animal, and their winered colouration is not unlike that of exposed flesh. Thus, it is generally believed that the pollinators of Red Trilliums are flies that lay their eggs on dead animals. Wild Ginger is another early blooming wildflower. Although their large heart-
photos by MICHAEL RUNTZ
Another ‘stinker’,the flowers of Wild Ginger lie hidden beneath its leaves. shaped leaves are conspicuous, Wild Ginger’s small brownred flowers are near invisible, lying hidden under the leaves and next to the ground. Their presence is revealed to pollinators by the flowers’ odour, which resembles a decaying fungus. By no surprise, it turns out that Fungus Gnats are its main pollinators. Those tiny flies lay their eggs in rotting fungus, which the larvae begin eating right
after they hatch. When insects are tricked into visiting wildflowers by the false promise of a suitable site for laying their eggs, the pollination trick is known as Brood Site Deception. To the layperson, it is known as a darn good lie! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

Good reason why some trees in the Grove need to be removed

that once blanketed much of southern Ontario. It is for this reason that it is never easy for me to paint an orange X on a tree, identifying it for maintenance or removal. The Nature Conservancy of Canada is in the business of protecting trees, not cutting them down; but the location of the Grove, nestled within the town of Arnprior, presents unique management needs. Each spring a biologist from the Nature Conservancy of Canada meets with staff from Gardiner Tree Trimming and Removal Ltd. to walk the boundary of the property to identify any trees that are at imminent risk of falling down or would cause damage to neighbouring property. The main walking trail through the Grove from Ottawa Street to Gillies Grove Road is also monitored. Usually only a handful of trees require attention on an annual basis; however, after a particularly long and hard winter, 17 trees have been identified for maintenance and removal this year. These trees will be cut to a height that leaves a portion of the tree trunk remaining so that it can stand, decay and fall safely in its own time.
Many animal species, such as owls, woodpeckers, flycatchers, chickadees, warblers, tree swallows, bats, raccoons, porcupines and more, rely on these standing dead trees, known as snags, for habitat. The felled portion of the tree is left to decompose on the forest floor returning nutrients that are essential for living organisms, including ourselves, back to the soil to feed new growth in the forest. It also provides food and microhabitat for many species, including ferns, mosses, lichens, plants, snails, beetles and salamanders. The gap in the forest left by the fallen tree allows more light to penetrate the forest floor, giving the seedlings beneath a growth spurt to fill the space, and the cycle of life continues. Cutting trees isn’t something we want to do, or like to do. Rather, it is an activity that we must carry out as responsible stewards.

WILLIAM B GAHAN/SUBMITTED
A look back at Arnprior high school students, staff in 1944-45
ANNOUNCMENT R0023222944
William Gahan of Arnprior submitted this wonderful photograph, from the school year of 1944-45, of the students and staff of Arnprior High School in front of the school. What is assumed to be the photo credit was written on the photograph as Powell Cayuga. The principal in the middle of the photograph is A.C. Ward. Gahan, who went to the high school later, said he knows some of the people in the photograph, including Conn Mulvihill, Gordon Bittern, Edward Perrault, Edgar Marki, Don Stewart, the Farmer boys and the Moscow girls. The photograph was likely taken on an old-style panoramic view camera with a 4x5 negative. The photograph is 27.5 inches long and remarkably clear.

We are so very grateful for each individual who helped and brought us comfort that night. In the following days, weeks and months, the good folks of the Ottawa Valley from Stittsville to Renfrew came to our assistance. The Centennial Restaurant in Pakenham was most generous, and we were well taken care of by the staff at the Quality Inn in Arnprior. Donations of toiletries, clothing and furniture were organized by good friends and were gratefully received. Funds were raised at a benefit held in Pakenham. Plus, several local individuals and organizations approached us with more. We are humbled by your kindness. As we settle in our new home, please know that you are all remembered. We knew five years ago that this was a fine community in which to settle, but never did we expect the blanket of warmth and goodness so quickly wrapped around us when it was needed most. We were indeed surprised and feel truly blessed to live amongst you. Our new home has been set up with goods and necessities purchased from local businesses - our way of giving back to this warm and caring community. With our heartfelt thanks.

OPSEU official warns provincial strike could be on way Desmond.devoy@metroland.com
A union protest last week heard that increasing privatization and upcoming labour disagreements with the provincial government could lead to a strike. “We’re heading towards a strike,” warned Ben Treidlinger, a mobilizer from Renfrew County for OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union), during a protest in front of the Ontario parole and probation office in Smiths Falls on April 16. OPSEU is in the midst of bargaining with the provincial government, and, by their estimation, it is not going well. The union first met with the province last November, coming up with an offer that, according to Treidlinger, had “60 takeaways, zero enlargements,” and a wage freeze, as well as a five per cent cut to the pay of new hires. There would also be cuts to benefits and sick pay. A strike vote was held in January that won the approval of membership – after which the province essentially “threw (the) same offer on the table. They are forcing the issue. We are looking at give and take. They take and we
give.” John Hanson, president of OPSEU local 416, noted he is seeing “all of the good jobs cut and slashed… taken away and privatized.” And, once they are privatized, “it all ends up in a corporate pocket.” Another reason for the protest was to fight what the union members present felt was misrepresentation in the media. “We’re not paid the big wages like people say (we are),” said Hanson. “We’ve been so vilified in the press.” While he works in Ottawa himself, at Algonquin College, in communities throughout eastern Ontario, “we are part of your community,” said Hanson. “We’re the volunteers in the community. We’re not the ones that wasted billions,” in various scandals like eHealth and the Ornge air ambulance and the power plant scandal. “We didn’t make this mess, but we’re the ones they’re going to make pay for it … we will see members lost because of this,” Hanson said. He called on the province to “deal reasonably with the unions. We only want what is fair.” While Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals were returned to office with a majority government last June, partially because of then-
Joint mass planned for St. Joe’s, St. John XXIII Continued from Page 7
Classrooms throughout the RCCDSB will use the mentor texts and incorporate special lessons for the week-long celebration into the curriculum, along with many special activities that have been planned. The Renfrew and Arnprior family of schools will participate in daily readings on CEW themes and living Rosaries, and host special guests. Among the activities at St. John XXIII Catholic School in Arnprior are a weeklong scholastic book fair and the annual ‘For the Love of Art Show’ in the gym. Mass and a visit from CWL members to read a special book about Mary with primary students will round out the week, notes Principal Heidi Fraser. St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Arnprior will
take part in Mass at St. John Chrysostom along with St. John XXIII Catholic School on Thursday, May 7. A province-wide Student Mass will take place on May 7 in all Catholic high schools across Ontario as part of the 2015 celebrations. “Catholic Education Week provides an opportunity to celebrate the gift of Catholic education, and highlights the partnerships between our schools, parishes and the Catholic community,” commented Michele Arbour, director of education for the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board. “The theme this year, inspired by the work of Pope Francis, aligns with our Board’s vision to ‘facilitate an active faith journey rooted in prayer and the sacraments’,” she added.
tization. Treidlinger charged that the Wynne Liberals want to make it “simpler and easier to privatize,” but he shot back that the public service “can do it cheaper and better … (but) they will find a way to privatize anything.” He pointed to the Ontario Disability Support Program, which he said had only 3.6 per cent administrative costs in 2011-12, “to run a very confusing, complex system.”
Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak announcing that he would fire thousands of civil servants if he became premier, Hanson feels that the job cuts are coming regardless – Wynne, unlike Hudak, simply did not announce the cuts. “Red tie, blue tie, I don’t think it made on little bit of difference,” he said. !

Remote patient care (RPC) is coming to the homes of more Renfrew County residents living withâ&#x20AC;Żchronic heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The expansion of the service, also referred to as remote patient monitoring, was announced by Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief of paramedic services Michael Nolan in a news release April 17. Renfrew County is teaming up with Future Health Services, a company operating under South Central Community Development Corporation, to deliver a remote patient care demonstration project, which uses specialized inhome medical technology to monitor patients and connect them with a team of medical professionals and family members. The technology monitors a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital signs including heart rate, blood pressure, weight and blood oxygen saturation levels. If daily monitoring shows warning signs, a community paramedic is automatically notified and checks in on the patient before symptoms worsen. They also have the ability to share alerts and progress reports with other authorized clinicians and family members via a secure social networking tool as required. The goal of the program is to demonstrate the impact remote patient care monitoring has on reducing 911 calls, emergency department visits, hospital admissions and overall health care costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Renfrew County is excited to be included in another promising community paramedicine program,â&#x20AC;? said county Warden Peterâ&#x20AC;ŻEmon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we heard about the remote patient care monitoring project, we knew we wanted to be involved. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to see community paramedics play a proactive role in healthcare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remote patient care monitoring is another program in the County of Renfrew that provides in-home care by paramedics who work with primary care providers, and will complement the community paramedicine programs currently running.â&#x20AC;? To qualify for remote patient care monitoring, a patient must be diagnosed with chronic heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and meet one of the following criteria: three or more 911 calls in the past 12 months; two emergency room visits in the past 12
months; or one hospital admission in the past 12 months. There is no cost to participate in the program. The local paramedic services will be sending eligible patients a letter, an information package and application form in the mail, as well as engaging other community partners to refer eligible patients.â&#x20AC;Ż â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program will allow our highly trained staff to use their skills to keep community members at home where they want to be,â&#x20AC;? said county health committee chair Janice Visneskie Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone wants proactive programming, especially in health care and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a better use of the expert caregivers we have here in Renfrew County.â&#x20AC;? Patients selected for the study will be visited by a County of Renfrew Community Paramedic who will set their home up with convenient and easy-to-use devices. The paramedic will show patients how to use the equipment and answer their questions. Patients will then monitor themselves daily and the information will be available on a secure web-based platform viewable by the care team and a family member if they wish. Remote patient care has been linked to significant reductions in 911 calls, emergency department visits and hospitalization, as well as improved quality of life for patients,â&#x20AC;? said Jennifer Zelmer, executive vice-president of Canada Health Infoway.â&#x20AC;Ż â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone living alone and suffering from a chronic condition can feel disconnected,â&#x20AC;? added chief Nolan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program will help give them some peace of mind knowing a whole team of caregivers is watching out for them.â&#x20AC;? Each patient will participate in the remote patient care monitoring program for three to six months. The program will run for 18 months in total. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very excited to be part of this project,â&#x20AC;? says Rick Whittaker on behalf of Future Health Services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remote patient care is a perfect addition to the very successful community paramedicine program.â&#x20AC;?

A Renfrew County mental health awareness initiative is building on the momentum generated by Clara’s Big Ride when it went through the area last June. Canadian Olympian Clara Hughes wrapped up the cross-country ride in Ottawa July 1, a day after pedalling into Arnprior and attracting a large crowd, including Canada’s Governor General to Robert Simpson Park. Renfrew County’s Mental Health Coalition, Pedal Forward!, was created on the wheels of the Bell Let’s Talk initiative and Clara’s Big Ride. Hughes cycled 12,000 kilometres around Canada, stopping in communities along the way, sharing her message to reduce stigmas and raise awareness for mental health. Pedal Forward! welcomes agencies, organizations, communities, businesses, municipalities and individuals who are interested in supporting mental health education and awareness while promoting county-wide mental health services. Pedal Forward! is a tool to support, assist and encourage Renfrew County agencies, organizations, communities, businesses, municipalities
and individuals to: • maintain a forum in which to work collectively and collaboratively on all topics and events related to mental health; • increase efficiency and effectiveness by reducing overlaps and isolated planning; • promote a visual logo recognizing those who support mental health and well-being; • support County-wide activities and events, as well as agencies, organizations, communities, businesses, municipalities and individuals that meet the mandate of Pedal Forward! Pedal Forward! recognizes those who meet the mandate to: • support Clara’s message to raise awareness and reduce the stigmas around mental health; • increase education tools and promote local services available to the public, supporting those in need; • offer events and activities that promote mental health and well-being in Renfrew County For more information about Pedal Forward! or to have an event, agency, organization, community, business, or municipality recognized by Pedal Forward! email pedalforward@phoenixctr.com or visit www.physicalactivitynetwork. ca/pedal-forward.

Some parents owed federal money: MP Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is urging all parents with children under the age of 18 to ensure their eligible children are enrolled in the enhanced Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB). “All Canadian families with children under the age of 18 can benefit from our government’s Family Benefits package,” said Gallant. “While the government is aware of the vast majority of families who qualify for the enhanced UCCB, some families are at risk of not receiving benefits.” The federal government is aware of about 3.8 million eligible families with children, and these families will automatically receive the enhanced UCCB or be contacted by the government to confirm their information. However, many eligible families have not registered their children, and may miss out on receiving the UCCB unless they apply, said

Gallant. In 2015 alone, this represents potentially millions of dollars in unclaimed benefits, she said. Under the proposed enhancements to the UCCB, families would receive almost $2,000 per year for each child under 6 and $720 per year for each child aged 6 through 17. The new benefit amounts would be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2015 and be reflected in monthly payments to families in July. The proposed enhancements to the UCCB are expected to more than double the number of families that benefit from 1.6 million to more than 4 million If your family is not currently receiving the UCCB, has never received the UCCB, or has never applied for the Canada Child Tax Benefit and you still have children under 18 in your care, go to cherylgallant.com and click on the ‘Help Your Children Reach for the Stars’ button to learn how to apply, urges the MP.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
4. About 85 per cent of Canadians agree that having an emergency kit is important in ensuring their and their family’s safety, yet only 40 per cent have prepared or bought an emergency kit. Complete yours online at www.getprepared.gc.ca. 5. The deadliest heat wave in Canadian history produced temperatures exceeding 44ºC in Manitoba and Ontario in 1936. Rail lines and bridge girders twisted, sidewalks buckled, crops wilted and fruit baked on trees. 6. The coldest temperature reached in North America was –63ºC, recorded in 1947 in Snag, Yukon. 7. The largest landslide in Canada involved 185 million m3 of material and created a 40-m deep scar that covered the size of 80 city blocks in 1894 at Saint-Alban, Quebec. 8. One of the most destructive and disruptive storms in Canadian history was the 1998 ice storm in Eastern Canada causing hardship for four million people and cost $3 billion. Power outages lasted for up to four weeks. 9. The June 23, 2010 earthquake in Val-des-Bois, Quebec produced the strongest shaking ever experienced in Ottawa and was felt as far away as Kentucky in the United States. 10. Using non-voice communication technology such as text messaging, email or social media instead of telephones takes up less bandwidth and helps reduce network congestion after an emergency. Being prepared means having the knowledge, plans and tools to cope in an emergency, stresses the fire department.

In the lead-up to the 20th annual Canadian Emergency Preparedness Week (May 3-9), the Town of Arnpiror and the Arnprior Fire Department are encouraging town residents to be ready in case a disaster occurs. The national awareness initiative has taken place each year since 1996 during the first full week of May. It is a collaborative event undertaken by provincial and territorial emergency management organizations supporting activities at the local level, in conjunction with Public Safety Canada and partners. This year Canadians are encouraged to take three simple steps to become better prepared to face a range of emergencies: “Know the risks, Make a plan and get an emergency kit,” urges the fire department. “Disasters can strike anywhere at any time, and residents should be prepared to care for themselves and their families and pets for at least 72 hours in a disaster, and up to two weeks in a health emergency like a pandemic,” says the fire department in a news release.

St. Joe’s students give back with donations to food bank, Free the Children Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do,” reads the t-shirts that St. Joseph’s student wore at WE Day at the Canadian Tire Centre on April 1. This in turn led the students of the Arnprior Catholic school down the path for them to give donations to the local food bank and Free the Children. The students from Grade 5-8 were given the opportunity to apply to be part of the WE DAY committee. The interest was overwhelming as there were more than 60 applicants for the 37 spots.
The students took part in several initiatives in an effort of raise money. The students held a battery drive and collected 4,542 batteries. They held a buy-in movie day/pajama day and a buy-in ‘80s themed dance, collected loose change for Lent, and organized a hot dog day. Overall, the students raised $1,154. On April 22, they officially gave $500 to the Arnprior and District Food Bank, and presented the donation to president Kathy Tonkin. The much-needed money will go toward food to fill the bank’s shelves. As well, $654 went to the Free the Children project, providing clean water to the people in Haiti.

The Arnprior Optimist Club held their ďŹ fth annual event of ĘťA Taste of ScotchĘź at the masonic hall on the evening of April 24. Optimist members Chris Toner and Dan PerďŹ tt spearheaded the evening. About 35 people came out, including a few returnees and some new faces, to try the ďŹ ve single malt scotch whiskies chosen by sommelier Carol Anderson of Grapescot.

The second Arnprior scouting group was collecting electronics at the Arnprior Shopping Centre on the cool evening of April 26 and over the course of the weekend. Leader Brian Dougherty said the drop-offs were doing well for the hour shift that had elapsed at the time of the photo. Beaver Sydney and Scout Samantha Dougherty were also chipping in to help. The electronics were being taken in by the Ottawa Electronic Stewardship. Justin Halpenny, the commissioner of the group, and Carrie Foster, another leader, were also taking in the collection.
Plans percolating for Scottish festival Organizers have been getting ready for the Scottish Festival. This yearĘźs ďŹ fth annual McNab Days event will be held at the Waba Cottage in White Lake Sunday, June 21. At the moment, there are four excellent pipe bands, one with a re-enactment group to display older style military activities, booked to play. The 78th Highlander re-enactment group appeared at the festival for the ďŹ rst time last year. They quickly became a hit. Organizers have been in contact with a variety of Germanic members of the community and the county to put together a hospitality tent to honour our German pioneering group in the community. At this point, organizers are also
trying to get some boats together for boat rides at the dock at the park. Imagine being able to listen to the pipes and drums while on the beautiful White Lake. Many Celtic activities and mini-games for children have become a big hit. Their parents and grandparents also love this feature as they feel comfortable to enjoy other parts of the event, knowing their children are happy and well cared for. The festival requires a very large volunteer troop. If you would like to become part of this event in some way, contact Rose Ann MacLaren at 613-623-3614 or 613-266-1496. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would be more than pleased to put you in an area that you feel comfortable volunteering in,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Carol Anderson, Chris Toner and Dan Perfitt get ready for the Taste of Scotch event at the Arnprior masonic hall. There were five single malt scotch whiskies to taste.
Toner noted that the selection was not very common to ďŹ nd in the Arnprior area. The ďŹ ve to test the tastes of the group were: Glen Grant 2003 Speyside, Gordon and MacPhail; Tomintoul 16-year-old Speyside; the Glenlivet French Oak Reserve 15-year-old Speyside; the Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14year-old Speyside and Bowmore Darkest 15year-old Islay. Through the other years there have been an extra 20 other varieties that were tasted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs about sipping whisky and great food to go with them,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson, who hails from Scotland and even has a background in IT - information technology. The food to go with the different whiskies was chicken barley soup, quiche, British pastys, cheesecake, tropical fruit and dark and milk chocolate squares. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We learn about scotch, the taste and the lowdown,â&#x20AC;? said PerďŹ tt. The Glen Grant Distillery, for example, dates back to 1840. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Optimist club is a service club about improving the lives of the children and youth of the immediate area,â&#x20AC;? said PerďŹ tt. There were also three door prizes for the evening, a round of Madawaska golf course, blended scotch and British pastys.

The provincial budget unveiled April 23 has been praised for its investment in infrastructure but criticized for not providing enough funding to stem the flow of hospital cuts and stave off education labour unrest. The Progressive Conservative Opposition charged that the Liberals have no real plan to deal with the debt, while the NDP maintained the budget would lead to deep cuts in services. “The amount spent on the interest on the debt is the highest growth area in this budget – an average annual increase of 5.7 per cent. This is more than the growth rate of any other spending sector including health and education,” said interim PC leader Jim Wilson. “Instead of protecting vital public services and supporting job creating businesses, this budget promises deep, painful cuts to health care, education and social services,” said NDP leader Andrea Howarth. Finance Minister Charles Sousa said the budget contains “an unprecedented investment in infrastructure to support economic growth and new jobs.” Among the projects to be funded is more work on Highway 417, although the government hasn’t said where that will be. In all more than $130 billion will be allocated to public infrastructure in the next 10 years. Rapid transit projects will make up $31.5 billion, with more than half going to the Toronto and Hamilton areas. Another almost $12 billion will go to improvements on roads, bridges, water systems, hospitals and schools. Among the “innovative ways” to raise funds for the infrastructure projects is selling off part of Hydro One, selling prime governmentowned real estate, and allowing (and taxing) the sale of beer in grocery stores to increase customer convenience and choice. The provincial government projects a deficit of $8.5 billion in 2015-16, less than earlier forecast, and “the lowest level since the onset of the global recession.” The government promises to take a “thoughtful and deliberate approach to the path to balance, with a deficit of $4.8 billion forecast for 2016-17 and a return to balance by 2017-18 The government is banking on a growing economy and rising revenues as it projects the health sector expenses to grow on average by 1.9 per cent per year, education sector by 2 per cent per year, children’s and social services sector by 2.9 per cent per year, and justice sector by 1.5 per cent per year over the next five years. However, the government isn’t budgeting any additional funding for wage increases. Any modest raises negotiated must be offset by other measures within current funding to create a net zero agreement, indicates the budget document. The government points out that since July 2012, the average annual negotiated wage increase across Ontario’s provincial public sector has been 0.6 per cent, lower than Ontario’s municipal public sector (1.9 per cent), the federal public sector in Ontario (1.7 per cent) and Ontario’s private sector (2 per cent). Progressive Conservative leader Jim Wilson
maintained that the government isn’t announcing any new infrastructure funding, just repeating what’s already been promised. As well, when taking federal transfer changes into accout, the government is actually cutting health care funding by $54 million, he said. Despite this increase, the population of seniors in Ontario routinely increases by 4-5 per cent a year meaning far higher health costs and the province will continue to fall further and further behind, Wilson said. Horwath said the privatization of Hydro One will mean higher rates for families who are already paying some of the highest electricity bills in Canada. HOSPITAL CONCERNS
The harshest criticism of the budget is coming from the health care sector, which argues it will result in “devasting” hospital cuts if funding is not improved. Already, Ontario has cut hospital beds more drastically than virtually anywhere else in Canada, or the industrialized world, says the Ontario Health Coalition in news release. “Maternity units, entire wards, even entire hospitals are threatened with closure,” it adds. “Despite all rhetoric and false claims, these are not services that are being replaced in community care.” The Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) says the budget is causing hospitals to face increasingly difficult decisions in the next two years as they continue to absorb financial and service pressures after three years without a base funding increase. The health care system is at a pivotal juncture, says the OHA. “As the province continues to work towards its goal of eliminating the provincial deficit, hospitals will continue to work closely with the Government of Ontario, LHINs and their partners in order to assess risk and maintain access to services.” However, doctors and nurses aren’t so accepting of the budget, saying it puts the health care system at risk. “The government’s budget continues to drastically underfund health care – that’s a problem for patients and it’s a problem for doctors,” said Ontario Medical Association president Dr. Ved Tandan,. “The government’s policy of taking from the health care system to balance its budget is simply irresponsible and is putting the health care system in jeopardy of not being able to meet patient needs,” said Dr. Tandan. The patient illness and death rates will climb as the provincial budget “starves” hospitals, says the Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA). Ontario registered nurses have seen their ranks cut by more than 400 – the equivalent of close to 800,000 hours of quality RN care in 2015 alone, as hospitals anticipated this fourth year of funding freezes contained in the budget, says the ONA. “As registered nurses, we know that our patients are needlessly suffering because hospitals must balance their budgets without the necessary funding,” said ONA president Linda Haslam-Stroud.
Money for AECL, military in budget: MP Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has identified $72.3 million for AECL and increased military spending as two of the key benefits for the riding in last week’s federal budget. In a news release, Gallant said the Conservative Economic Action Plan proposes providing up to $72.3 million in 2015-16 to Atomic Energy of Canada Limited to maintain safe and reliable operations at the Chalk River Laboratories. Her release said the plan also proposes providing $23 million over four years, starting this year, to upgrade the physical security of Canadian Armed Forces bases, including Garrison Petawawa. “As your local Member of Parliament, I work to bring benefits to our local riding, particularly when it comes to some of our largest employers. That is one of the many benefits of having an experienced Member of Parliament in government,” she said. “I am proud our Conservative government delivered a balanced budget with no cuts in services and no tax increases.” Gallant’s noted that the budget will: • Increase the tax-free savings account an-
nual contribution limit to $10,000, effective for the 2015 and subsequent taxation years. • Support seniors by introducing changes to the registered retirement income fund that will allow them to withdraw less from their tax-deferred savings. • Support seniors and persons with disabilities by introducing the Home Accessibility Tax Credit to help with renovation costs, • Enhance access to post-secondary education by expanding the eligibility for low- and middle-income Canada student grants to students in short-duration programs • Extend the temporary measure that allows a qualifying family member to become the plan holder of a registered disability savings plan. • Support the most vulnerable in communities by providing $50 million in 2016-17 to support social housing in Canada by allowing social housing providers to prepay their long-term, non-renewable mortgages without penalty. • Reduce the small business tax rate to 9 per cent by 2019 – putting an estimated $2.3 billion back into the pockets of job-creating entrepreneurs between now and 2020. • Increase the lifetime capital gains exemption to $1 million for farmers.

The Pernell Building has sat vacant since the township purchased it. It could become the home of a new farmers’ market, the McNab Market.
Council suggests Pernell building for market Continued from front
Visibility is a problem at her current Arnprior Farmers’ Market tucked away in the curling club parking lot, out-of-sight from traffic heavy Daniel Street, she said. The town market in the past wanted to move back to the downtown core, but has been denied by town hall a location on Daniel Street. Dupuis would take three other vendors with her to the township, where all live. It began to dawn on council during her presentation that costs could prove a problem. For instance, Dupuis said it will cost about $2,800 to drop a hydro pole to bring electricity to Glasgow Downs. That’s when Mayor Tom Peckett suggested the vacant Pernell building across Russett Drive from the township offices. It has power and running water, though both locations would require a porta-potty. “We can certainly look at that,” Dupuis said. “That’s very welcome.” The location doesn’t have as high a visibility, Peckett admitted, but sandwich board signs in strategic locations, including McLean Drive, could help. Pamphlets at nearby stores and res-
taurants would also help spread word. A web presence is expected, and it will be linked to the township’s site, which is currently undergoing an upgrading. Coun. Mark MacKenzie is enthusiastic about buying local and supporting local farmers and artisans. He, like others at the council table, expressed an interest in supporting the fledging group with township resources. “This would be very little expense to the township but a great reward,” Peckett said. “I love farmers’ markets. I see this as similar to the Carp Market someday, maybe not as big, but it has potential.” Dupuis, who makes a variety of bee products, expects to see home-baked goods, fresh garlic, knitted items and more at the market. She hopes to grow it by four vendors per year, with each earning $200 in sales per week. The group has made a three-year commitment to the project.

New junior hockey league prepares for its first season Peter Clark
peter.clark@metroland.com
The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) is history as we know it. The 2014-15 and final season ended with the Casselman Vikings capturing their second consecutive title, in six games over the Stittsville Rams April 12. The founding members of the newly-created Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey League
(CCHL2) convened for the first time on April 13 in Kemptville. In a news release from the new league, it reported 16 members of the EOJHL within the Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO) attended. There were representatives from Renfrew, Arnprior, Perth, Westport, Athens, Brockville, Prescott, Winchester, Char-Lan, Alexandria, Casselman, Clarence, Ottawa, Ottawa West, Metcalfe and Stittsville. The unanimous direction of the membership
was to limit membership to within the HEO territory. The consensus was to reduce the league to a more workable number of teams to allow for a full interlocking schedule. There were 22 teams in the EOJHL. Among those left out are current EOJHL Valley division teams Almonte and Shawville. The CCHL2 team representatives elected Marco Scapilletti of the Arnprior Packers as the league’s chairman of the board of governors. Over the next couple of weeks, committee
work will be done to determine the specifics on hockey operations, constitution and governance and finance. On an interim basis, HEO vice president of junior hockey Kevin Abrams will serve as commissioner until final decisions are reached with respect to the league’s first executive.To have 16 teams all keen on doing something like this is powerful stuff, Abrams said. To see every single team at least once in every building will also make it interesting for the fans, he added.

A three-year pilot program will see minor midget AAA hockey eliminated in the national capital region and the Upper Ottawa Valley starting with the 2015-16 hockey season. However, not all minor hockey associations agree and the move is being appealed. The program was put together by a subcommittee of the Ottawa District Minor Hockey Association that did extensive research into how it would be structured and how other parts of Canada structure their midget leagues for 15-, 16-, and 17-year-old players. Currently, 15-year-olds play in a minor midget league, while 16 and 17-year-olds are separated into their own midget league. The presentation the sub-committee put together indicated the minor program was struggling as some players jump into the older, junior level as 16-year-olds, while they are still midget-aged. The new league, which only affects players in the AAA skill level divisions, will blend the two age divisions together and reorganize the teams. Right now, there are five zones, each of which have one minor midget and midget team. As of next year, there will be 12 teams, each with a geographic centre. Players’ geographic centre will be measured by the home arena’s distance from their primary residence. The changes are being made to provide a better development path for players, said Gary
Hopkins, Cumberland district chairman. Instead of five minor midget and five midget teams, there will be 12 midget teams under the new structure, bringing in more players than before. The final draft structure and logistics still have some details to be worked out, Hopkins said. The blind draft will work in a way that the closest geographic team that wants a midget player, will get them. Hopkins said the new geographic boundaries and draft structure will make sure the best players in the region are the ones making the AAA teams, while recognizing players develop at different rates. “It really lets the players develop at a pace more consistent with their abilities,” Hopkins said. “Some develop earlier, some develop later.” Denis Dumais, Ottawa District Minor Hockey Association president, said negativity has come from the parents of younger players who are worried that their children won’t make the cut for the new midget teams. “We think this is a winning program,” Dumais said. “We feel it’s a better program for our midget players.” While he believes the program is a winner, representatives of the Ontario East Minor Hockey League AAA have filed an appeal in protest of the new league structure. The appeal has been filed with Hockey Eastern Ontario, the organization’s executive director Debbie Rambeau confirmed, and which had not yet been heard at press time.

SCOTT CAMPBELL/ METROLAND
A peek inside the squash court at the Kenwood Athletic Club, the spots along the walls are from the squash balls repeatedly hitting them.
Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The word squash can mean something an edible fruit that many think is a vegetable, but squash can mean something else altogether. If Forbes magazine is to be believed back in 2003, its study indicated that squash is the healthiest sport to play in the world. According to Squash Canada, playing just one hour a player can lose between 600 to 1,000 calories. Squash is easy, accessible, builds muscular strength and endurance and is considered a valuable cardiovascular workout. The appeal of the sport has grown so much that the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games has it on a short-list to be included as an official event. The disclaimer is the game has been rejected from the Olympics in the past. Kenwood Athletic Club in Arnprior features a squash court to go with the weights, a studio and gymnasium. Employee Dawn Pengelly explained that the space can be used for everything from bellyfit, pilates, zumba, wrestling, soccer and even roller derby practices. Members have 24/7 access but must have a card for the off-hours the club isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open to the public. Pengelly noted the squash court is always available to use, as long as the time slot is not already reserved. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to be a member, as the club offers fees for those oneoff games, so to speak, for anybody who decides to just walk-in and play a match. Squash players can use the walls of the court to their advantage, by hitting the ball, but it can only bounce on the floor once. If one player misses the ball with their racket, the other gets the point, explained Pengelly. ALEX TAYLOR
Kenwood staff is familiar with the name of Alex Taylor, who has his name ranked by the Ottawa and District Squash Association (ODSA). The association has 572 players, but Taylor is the only player to register with Arnprior as his club. At press time, he ranked at #339. Brian Eldridge, ranking co-ordinator for the ODSA explained the structure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local systems may use a simple ladder rankings or a numeric value. You get points when you beat someone and lose points when you lose. Those points then just dictate your rankings among other local players.â&#x20AC;?
He added that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the ODSA rankings are open to anyone in the Ottawa district and we even do include people from Smith Falls, Deep River, Kingston and so on. Though there are far fewer of them and they may not be well placed due to limited results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Players can enter all their results (league, tournaments, club matches, etc.) in the system and they settle into a ranking based on who they win and lose to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our system, Alex has a rank of #339 and a rating of 7195. The two are proportional. If 50 new players came to town all better than Alex, his rank would drop to #389. But his rating would not change unless he lost a whole lot of matches.â&#x20AC;? Alex Taylor hails from Iqaluit, Nunavut and decided Arnprior was a nice place to settle. He knows the area as his father had a place in Renfrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I play three times a week,â&#x20AC;? said Taylor, but the matches are not always registered with the association. Recording can be done for free on the website. At the moment, Taylor is marked at 7195 points. The number is said to be rather meaningless outside of the Ottawa region unless others use the same system as the ODSA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love playing squash. The sport is affordable and very reasonable,â&#x20AC;? said Taylor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The game is for any level of play.â&#x20AC;? Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matches usually last for an hour and they tend to go until the first person reaches 15 points, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always keep track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Kenwood) is pretty nice, well-run gym and has a good staff.â&#x20AC;? ODSA president Mikola Czich said that as Arnprior has a court open to the public players are automatically a part of the association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a nice full regulation court and viewing glass. Arnprior has a handful of squash players, but Alex is the top and only registered player there,â&#x20AC;? he said. Taylor has recorded matches against five opponents this year - most of them during tournaments - with his most recent one listed as April 7 in Arnprior against Matt Mcguire. Alex was the victor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rankings have evolved over the years, making it more website based over the last couple years,â&#x20AC;? said Czich. He believes that squash tends to get an increase in players during the winter months as it is an indoor sport, but there are people who play all year-round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want to keep the sport alive.â&#x20AC;?

Cast members pay tribute to their family’s veterans
Acting isn’t an easy task and for those who have never graced the stage before it can be daunting. However, stage fright wasn’t enough to stop Meet Me at the Mayfair cast members from paying tribute to their loved ones. It wasn’t until recent years that Greg Verch’s grandfather, Gerry Neumann, opened up about his time in the war and a two-year stay at a German Prisoner-of-War Camp. Verch was happy to accept the part of his grandfather, now deceased, and does a terrific job portraying him. The stage is set at the Mayfair Dance Hall. Russell Staye, grandson of proprietor Alex Staye, has taken on the role of his grandfather. Russell has no memory of the dance hall that burned down in 1970 but has completed a detailed history of the old facility and is proud of his grandfather who was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. Harry Powell, long time bouncer at the Mayfair, is played by Harry’s grandson, Drew Powell. Harry was an amazing athlete and Drew has followed in his grandfather’s footsteps, a star hockey player with the Athens Aeros. Drew’s sister, Beth, plays a fictional role in the play, but was happy to participate in a historical production that pays tribute to her grandfather and other local heroes Jeff Bahm plays his father, Willard, who played music and sang at the Mayfair for years. Jeff has inherited his father’s talent and will be playing his guitar during the interactive music scenes with the audience. Theatre patrons may have a special surprise as Charlotte Leitch/submitted Willard, the only surviving veteran featured in the Russell Staye, left, holds a photo of his grandfather Alex Staye while Drew Powell, centre, plays his play, may make a cameo appearance on stage. grandfather Harry and Greg Verch proudly displays a photo of his grandfather Gerry Neumann.

Three original shows sold out
Meet me at the Mayfair is proving to be a big hit with theatre patrons before it even hits the stage. Charlotte Leitch’s charming Second World War play based on a popular Arnprior dance spot of the 1940s has already sold out its original three performances. The play runs May 8-10 at Emmanuel Anglican Church’s Carleton Reid Hall with Friday and Saturday evening performances and a Sunday matinee. As a result another evening performance has been added on Thursday, May 7 at 7 p.m. Call Leitch at 613-8646910 if you plan to attend to reserve a seat, as there is no guarantee there will be tickets at the door.

Bedlam ensues after small error made in local paper It was unusual for Mother to be in such a hurry to get into Renfrew for our regular Saturday morning trip. The old Model T had been packed the night before with all the things she would peddle door-to-door, and I was dressed in my next-to-Sunday best, told to hurry with my breakfast if I was to go in to town with her, and that morning, I didnʼt have to help redd up the kitchen. That job would be left to my sister Audrey. Getting into Renfrew early was more important. What else was unusual was Motherʼs going to the blue sugar bowl in the back-to-the-wall cupboard and pulling a hand full of change out of her egg money. Her Saturday morning purchases were always made out of the money she got from peddling her wares door-to-door. But that day, a handful of egg-money was crammed into her black purse. For a few minutes, I wondered if we were running away from home!
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
When Mother and I piled into the old car, the weekly copy of the Renfrew Mercury was on the seat beside us, and Mother kept patting it like it was made of gold. It had been folded over and the Walkerʼs Store ad took up the whole page. So that was what Mother was so excited about! “Canʼt believe it,” she kept saying all the way out the long lane to the Northcote Side Road. And she gave the newspaper another poke with her finger. “Just look at that Mary ... Dan River cotton on sale at Walkerʼs Store for seven cents a yard! Never have I heard of Dan River cotton on sale for such a price!”
THIS WEEK’S FEATURE
So thatʼs what all the excitement was about! The old Model T was fair humming all the way along the Northcote Side Road, and Mother kept saying, “Please, donʼt let us have a flat.” The old car was well-known for having as many as two or three flat tires banging over the washboard Northcote Side Road. But luck was with us, and we tore into Renfrew, right down Raglan Street, with Mother looking for a place to park. “Just as I expected,” she said, chewing on her bottom lip. The cars and buggies were lined up on both sides of the street, and crowds of women, many of them our neighbours from Northcote, were already lined up at the Walkerʼs Store door. Without even asking a ʻby-yourleaveʼ, Mother pulled into a small lane between two stores, grabbed her purse, told me to hurry, and we joined the line-up of women at the door of Walkerʼs Store.

SUPER SAVERS!
seem like anyone gave a hoot in Halifax for pattern or colour. Mother grabbed a hold of a lovely mauve bolt, and one with a pale yellow plaid design, and told the sales girl sheʼd take the whole yardage off both. Two women were both pulling at the same bolt, and I was sure it would just be a matter of time before the one Renfrew policeman was called to keep order. It wasnʼt long before only one or two bolts of material were all that was left on the counter. No one was getting cuttings, everyone taking the whole bolt, which thankfully didnʼt have to be measured because the original yardage tags were still attached. We headed for the car, each of us carrying one of the bolts, and I stayed in the front seat while Mother peddled her butter, eggs, sticky buns and trussed up chickens all along the back streets of the town of Renfrew. Before the next week was over, new mauve Dan River cotton curtains hung on the kitchen window, a yellow table cloth covered the red oilcloth, and I had two blouses to wear to the Northcote School. And there was still lots of material left for which Mother was sure to find a use. It was my hateful brother Emerson who tried to take the shine off everything when one morning, wearing my new mauve blouse and sitting on the bench under the kitchen window at the table, he said I matched the curtains. “All you need is a curtain rod through your hair.” I paid him no heed.

A man, who turned out to be the manager, was beet red, and he had one of the those things to magnify his voice by shouting into it, asked for everyoneʼs attention. Standing beside him was another man, whose red face matched the managerʼs. “There has been a terrible mistake. This is the person who put the ad together for the Mercury, and instead of printing 27 cents a yard for the Dan River cotton, it came out as seven cents! The number ʻ2ʼ was mistakenly left off, and really, the price is 27 cents, not 7!” Well, I thought there was going to be a riot. Those women from Renfrew and the miles beyond were having none of that nonsense. A woman shook her umbrella in the managerʼs face, and with the sun shining and the heat of the day just beginning, I guessed she brought her umbrella expecting a riot. “Now you know the law as well as I do, Mr. OʼKane, and you have to sell that Dan River cotton for what it was advertised.” And with that, and using her umbrella as a prodding iron, pushed back the two men, and plowed through the door, with all of us following her inside the store. Mr. OʼKane vanished through a little door at the back of the store, slamming it shut and I could hear a lock being rammed into place, and the bedlam was left to the sole clerk who started removing the dozens of neatly folded bolts of Dan River off the shelves and pounding them down on the long counter. I was sure we would never get out of the store alive! Whole bolts of Dan River were sold and it didnʼt

The official date of the anniversary is Sept. 18. There will be a 35th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, Sept. 19 at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall in Arnprior. Watch this newspaper for further details on this special event.
Seniors at Home
May is Leave a Legacy month, a nationally recognized program to raise awareness of the importance of thoughtful, well-planned, taxpreferred gifts and their impact on the quality of life for everyone in the community. Ottawa Valley people are caring people. Many volunteer on a regular basis and give financially to the charities of their choice, and when they are gone, their support is sorely missed. According to the Leave a Legacy’s website, as many as 70 per cent of Canadians have not made a will, and studies show that only seven per cent of those who make wills leave money to a charity. It’s clear there is a deep reluctance to plan for one’s death. When you ‘Leave a Legacy’ your charitable bequest is felt long after your passing. While realizing the tax benefits, leaving a legacy also has a huge impact on your community. Your bequest ensures that the meaning you found in your life is never lost. When you Leave a Legacy you ensure help continues to be there for those who need it. Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home (ABMSH) will be celebrating 35 years on Sept. 18, and with the Community Senior Service Agency as your charity of choice the 24 programs provided for seniors and those
with special needs will continue for another 35-plus years. Everyone has a favourite charity or two. The reasons why you favour one over the other may vary. Maybe your parents or grandparents always supported a certain cause. If you choice to Leave a Legacy to Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program, you will be helping to preserve the seniors agency for future generations of seniors. That could be your children and grandchildren. “With a Legacy donation, in your name, to seniors at Home those who follow will continue to receive the services the community has come to know has a vital service,” said ABMSH executive director Dennis Harrington. “When the generation of today reaches the age of 60, and when you and I have passed on, the mission of ABMSH will live on.” How will you be remembered? By leaving a Legacy in support of ABMSH. How can you leave a Legacy? In memoriam, life insurance, cash or securities, RRSPs, RRIFs, by making ABMSH beneficiary of your pension, bequests in your will or by giving annually to ABMSH. Seniors at Home would love to hear from you: 613-623-7981 Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; email dennisharrington@cssagency. ca or drop by at Unit 1, 106 McGonigal St. West, Arnprior.

He tracked down photographs of seven Arnprior and area soldiers: Frank Berniaski, Walter Brydges, Corkery Farrell, Wilfred Good, Storie May, Hubert Popkey and Harvey Smith, who were killed in April, 1945, and are buried in the same war cemetery. The Holten project to place commemorative photo posters at 1,355 gravesites typifies how the Dutch people honour the memory of the Canadians who died fighting for their freedom from Nazi tyranny.

‘Leave a Legacy’ in support of senior community services
The Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives will be offering a presentation Saturday, May 9 on the local effort to search out information about and photographs of seven local war heroes buried at the Holten Canadian War Cemetery in Holland. The public session on the ‘A Face For Every Name’ campaign will be held at the Arnprior Public Library at 1:30 p.m. The guest speaker will be Kurt Johnson who has been playing a key role in the campaign when it comes to seeking information about local soldiers buried in the Canadian cemetery in Holland. “Learn about this international project and Kurt’s research and the lives of these men,” invites the Archives. Johnson of Burnstown retired in 2010 as letters editor at the Ottawa Citizen after a 43year career in journalism. For three years, he conducted research for the Goulbourn Museum in Stittsville about the War of 1812 and the 100th Regiment of Foot whose soldiers settled Richmond and Goulbourn Township.

Family-friendly walk May 9 to support Ontario Early Years Centre Public can choose between a 1-km, 3-km and 5 km courses to take off from the Kenwood Corporate Building Tiffany Lepack
Kids like to go for walks or strolls but mostly they love to run. The Ontario Early Years-AFPRC (OEY) is holding a Family Fun Run and Stroll on Saturday, May 9, a perfect chance to get your family outside and support the centre. The event will feature a 1-km course starting at 9 a.m. plus a 3-km and 5-km course starting at 10 a.m., both will take off from the Kenwood Corporate Building at 16 Edward St. in Arnprior. This is the first time that the centre has done a fundraising walk, which Julie Burns, program director at the OEY notes have become more popular over the years. “We thought why not try and do something to get families active and outside together,” said Burns. “It’s a wonderful way for families to come together on Mother’s Day weekend and spend time together, plus it’s a great cause and if you can come and support us in any way that’s wonderful.” She knows it will be a fun family day and a chance for runners to train for some big upcoming events too.
“This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who is getting ready for the Ottawa Race Weekend. The price is right and there is child care available (limited space), if you want to do something with your kids you can and then do the run, it’s the same price.” FUNDING NEEDED
The centre is run by a nine-person volunteer board and two staff; Burns and Karina Dewar who is the early learning facilitator. Burns calls organizing the run a real team effort. Holding an event like this has been talked about by the board and staff for a number of years as they need the funds to help continue the high quality programming offered at the centre. OEY was started in 1986 as the Arnprior Family Pre-School Resource Centre, which was then funded through the municipality. In 2004 funding was transferred to the provincial government then under the Ministry of Community and Social Services and now under the Ministry of Education. “In 11 years we have loss 15 per cent of our budget, there have been no increases only de-
creases,” said Burns. “To continue to offer our programming and staff we need to supplement our income.” The cost to participate in the event is $50 for a family, $25 for an adult and $10 for a child. Registration forms are available at the OEY suite 130 or OnTrac suite 120 at the Kenwood Corporate Building. SUPPORTS WELL-USED PROGRAMS
All money raised from the event will go right back into the many programs offered to parents at the centre, many free of charge. “It will go right back into our regular activities,” said Burns. The centre was well used in 2014 with 5,000 individual visits by local children. “That’s a lot of visits; it’s obviously a needed community resource.” The OEY Centre offers a number of programs on a weekly basis such as the Play and Learn Drop In (Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9 to 11:30 a.m.) an interactive playgroup for children and their parents/ caregivers to have fun together. They also run book clubs, baby massage
classes, baby food making lessons, organized outings and more. Over the years the community has been very supportive and Burns is thankful for the help. “We have an amazing community; when we ask, people give, if it’s a box of tissue, people bring it in.” Both Burns and Dewar wear their hearts on their sleeves and care for each person big or small who walks through the doors of the centre. “It takes a village to raise a child and we get to help be an important part of that; helping children to form relationships and giving parents a place where they are able to find support with other parents who are going through similar experiences,” said Burns. “I see how important it is for the kids and the parents.” For those who would like they can also collect pledges; top prize is a Fit Bit and the first 30 children to register get a free water bottle. People are encouraged to register for the event as there is an extra $5 fee if you register the day of the walk. For more information or to register, call Burns or Dewar 613-623-8224.

Together in Song
LISA WEBBER/SUBMITTED
Local music fans are in for a treat this Sunday, May 3 with the Arnprior Community Choir and the Kanata Choral Society performing Gloria by Antonio Vivaldi in their annual Together In Song concert in Arnprior. The concert will be held at 3 p.m. at Grace-St. Andrew’s United Church. As well as singing jointly, each choir will perform separately. There will also be a variety of music from Handel to Rutter. Featured as soloists will be two local singers, mezzo soprano Lisa Webber, left, and soprano Suzana McNeil. They are both local voice teachers, professional singers and active in the community. Tickets are available at the Arnprior Book Shop and at the door.
Camp contributors
Derek Dunn/Metroland
About 70 line dancers gathered at the Christian Education Centre on April 11 to raise money and awareness for Camp Lau-Ren’s children’s summer camp.

Valley Heritage Radio raises $87,000-plus Sherry Haaima
sherry.haaima@metroland.com
The Renfrew Armouries was hopping Sunday afternoon. On April 26, Valley Heritage Radio hosted the Roundup Dance to wrap up the 2015 fundraising campaign. The tally is still being finalized, said station manager Jim Long. “As of now, we’re at just over $87,000,” said Long. The total is right in line with what’s been raised other years, he added.
Fifty-fifty draws and dance proceeds still need to be added to the total. Donations and memberships make up the bulk of the funds. Always a popular event, the Roundup once again did not disappoint. “There was great dance music and great bands,” said Long. “Everybody was very happy.” The station did sign up three new lifetime members this season. One wishes to remain anonymous and the others are Keith Overton and Maude Scheel,
reported Long. Scheel is the mother of one of the station’s volunteers. Valley Heritage Radio officials are grateful to all those who support the station. “We’re extremely pleased and so thankful,” said Long. “We want to thank everyone in the valley and beyond for the support they gave us. The people never fail us.” With the station streaming online now, donations were not just limited to the Valley. “We had donations from all across Canada, the States and beyond,” said Long.
“Now that I hear clearly, I’m much more involved when the family gets together.”

Senator guests at Hospice Renfrew volunteer tea Family grateful for outstanding care
SUBMITTED
Among those taking part in the Hospice Renfrew Volunteer Appreciation Tea, from left, are Hospice Renfrew Board chair Connie Legg, Senator Sharon Carstairs, Hospice Renfrew executive director Maureen Sullivan-Bentz and Hospice Renfrew volunteer co-ordinator Darlene Meleskie. Hospice Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main fundraiser, Hike for Hospice, is being held this Sunday, May 3 at 2 p.m. on the Millennium Trail starting outside St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church in Renfrew. Hospice Renfrew and commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;what you have here is the gold standard of palliative care. This is the type of care that should be available to every Canadian. Sadly this is not the case. Hospice Renfrew has achieved something very special in bringing together several small communities to meet the needs of those at the end-
Senator Sharon Carstairs who has been a strong advocate for palliative care for many years. As Minister with Special Responsibility for Palliative Care, Carstairs authored the 2010 Senate report Raising the Bar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A roadmap for the Future of Palliative Care in Canada. Senator Carstairs was very impressed with

of-life.â&#x20AC;? Carstairs pointed out that an ongoing trend for charitable organizations in Canada is the decline in people volunteering. Only hospice care is seeing a steady increase in volunteer numbers due to the work being so meaningful and rewarding for both the recipient of care and the volunteer, she said,
Distributed to more than
Carstairs also commented on the recent Supreme Court ruling on physician-assisted suicide. In jurisdictions where this is a legal option, only 6 per cent of palliative patients have requested it, of this 6 per cent, only 1 per cent actually go through with it. She urged that we use the 94 per cent maxim â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we need more and better palliative care for the huge 94 per cent majority â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more and better home care, pain and symptom management, caregiver support and hospices. Carstairsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2010 report sums up the importance of hospice volunteers: â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are no words, in any language, which can convey the extent of the gift they give of themselves. They define our most human values, and remind us that the most basic and important value in life is to care for each other.â&#x20AC;?
Connie Farquharson was an active, talented and funloving woman whose charm and sense of humour could light up a room. She was our mom. In 2012, she was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis. This devastating disease caused her lungs to become inflamed and scarred, reducing her ability to breathe. In April 2014, Mom made the decision to go to Hospice Renfrew, which would be her home for her final three months. Under the exceptional care of Dr. Langlois, the wonderful staff and volunteers, Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pain management was controlled and she was made to feel right at home. Having such a beautiful facility with a homey atmosphere - (a large kitchen and dining room where family could gather, and a living room with a toy box for the grandchildren) enhanced the experience for everyone involved. She had a beautiful spacious room with a picture window. She enjoyed watching the deer, squirrels, birds and other wildlife meander outside. The volunteers thoughtfully planted her flowers just outside of her window where she could watch them bloom. While in Hospice, Mom kept a small journal. She recorded the events of each day and this gave us some insight into the little things that meant the most to her. She wrote about how she enjoyed the luxuries of having her nails painted and her feet rubbed. She enjoyed sitting outside in the sun for 2 ½ hours. She loved having visits from volunteers, family and friends. The staff helped to arrange for Mom to play cards with her friends and go home to her apartment on four separate occasions. All of these efforts did not go without notice. Mom treasured each and every day that she had while at Hospice.

National Volunteer Week is held every April in Canada and on April 22 Hospice Renfrew took time to express its sincere thanks to its most valued family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the family of volunteers - at its annual Volunteer Appreciation Tea. Last year Hospice volunteers provided over 5,867 hours to enhance the care and comfort of hospice residents and their loved ones. During the tea volunteer co-ordinator Darlene Meleskie offered special congratulations to Ruth Stiefelmeyer for her induction into the June Callwood Circle of Outstanding Volunteers at the 2015 Ontario Hospice Palliative Care Conference in Toronto. Honoured for five years of volunteer service were Mike and Sharon Gallagher, Barbara Gallagher, Cari Forteath, and Ruth Stiefelmeyer. A very special guest at the tea was retired
