EMC news – Arnprior Mayor David Reid appealed to McNab-Braeside council Tuesday to seriously consider approving the town’s service agreement offer, suggesting to do otherwise might drive a wedge between the two municipalities. In an impassioned appeal to council, Reid called the Arnprior offer to increase the levy on the township to allow its residents to use the town’s library and Nick Smith Centre “fair and reasonable.� In discussion afterwards, McNab-Braeside councillors expressed concern about rising costs, questioned the town’s figures and suggested a version of user pay might be the best option. Among the three options being considered by council is a system that would see the township reimburse residents for a portion of extra fees charged them by Arnprior for using town services. Council will make a decision after listening to what the public has to say at a meeting Monday, May 7 at 7 p.m. in Braeside (see Page 2). While some residents have already spoken out in support of continuing the library agreement, others are urging council to opt for a user pay system, said at least two councillors. Reid, who has a unique view of the issue being Mayor of Arnprior and a McNabBraeside resident, said he was once a proponent of user fees. However, he now feels they are not appropriate and

would send “the wrong messageâ€? to ratepayers. User fees can cause significant administrative costs and increase the potential for conflict, he explained. The last time user fees were implemented in this area, it “drove a wedgeâ€? between the two municipalities and affected usage, he maintained. “We want to ensure services are affordable for all residents ‌ but user fees do not enhance access,â€? he added. He said user fees also don’t take into account the importance such services have in attracting growth to both the town and township. Reid suggested other municipalities have run into problems when going the user fee route. Instead, Arnprior and McNab-Braeside should be looking at emulating agreements working well for Carleton Place and Beckwith and Laurentian Valley and Pembroke, he said. He said an agreement, while proposed for five years, can be updated annually and ended with proper notice. “No approach is perfect,â€? he told council. “But I believe our proposal is a good approach and I urge you to support it.â€? The proposal is based on the latest figures, he said, adding that despite the increases Arnprior residents will still pay twice as much as their neighbours for the Nick Smith Centre and oneand-a-half times as much for the library, he said. Reid said continuing with the agreements would build on the strong bonds the two municipalities have.

McNab-Braeside residents asked for opinions on library, recreation, user-pay John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – The amount McNab-Braeside residents pay for recreation and library services in its neighbouring towns should be “consistent and equitable across the township,â€? says Mayor Mary Campbell. The question is should the township continue to pay for the services, or let individual users foot the bill. Ratepayers are being given a chance to provide input on the issue at a special meeting Monday, May 7 before council decides how to respond to an offer from Arnprior for the services. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish hall on Dochart Street in Braeside. Council is looking at three main options: accept Arnprior’s proposal, which would see a signiďŹ cant increase in township costs; reject the proposal outright and have residents pay directly for using the library and the Nick Smith Centre; or reject Arnprior’s offer and have users pay, but have the township subsidize a portion of their fees. If council decides to end the service agreements, the money saved could be used to develop alternative programs for ratepayers, Campbell suggested. If council supports the subsidy route, it will have to decide whether to help pay for all users, or just children as Horton and Greater Madawaska do. At discussion about the proposal at council’s April 24 meeting, Coun. Aldene Styles said the three options should be spelled out clearly on ipcharts at the public meeting. “We want to make the options simple ‌ we need to cut to the chase,â€? she said. Campbell agreed that the public needs to understand both the ďŹ gures and the logic behind the three options. “We want to ensure what we hear is based on fact and not misinformation.â€? Coun. Bob Campbell, who is partial to the user pay option, said council needed to put forth a “balanced approachâ€? when explaining the options. Coun. Brad McIlquham said it is important to make the information “easy readingâ€?

What: public meeting on proposed agreement to allow McNab-Braeside residents to use Arnprior’s library and Nick Smith Centre. When: Monday, May 7, 7 p.m. Where: Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish hall, Braeside. and “include the numbers.â€? However, it’s difďŹ cult to evaluate the Arnprior offer because of a lack of detailed information, said Mayor Campbell. Renfrew provides detailed data about usage and the recreation fee for out-of-town users is easy to fathom because it is based on a logical formula related to how much town ratepayers subsidize their recreation facilities and programs, she noted. Campbell pointed out council has a handle on what recreation services township residents are using in Renfrew, but that’s not the case with Arnprior. For example, McNabBraeside knows such precise information as 10 girls from the township play hockey in Renfrew and only seven boys. “That blew me away,â€? said Campbell. The township should “shy awayâ€? from lump sums offers that don’t come with full disclosure, she added. “We need to know what we’re buying.â€? Campbell said that one positive that could come from user pay is that it would make people re-evaluate whether they want the service or not. LATE BUDGET

Kim Zieman, left, Amy Parker and John Gillies held an information picket last week. The social workers say about 200 clients, including those on Employment Insurance and medical assistance, could be affected by a work stoppage. The union insists that frontline workers shouldn’t take the brunt of the Liberal government’s “austerity budget� ahead of politicians and upper managers at public institutions.

About 200 clients potentially impacted Continued from front

Council will resume its municipal budget deliberations once it makes a decision on the service deals. Mayor Campbell said that most of the department budgets are “solid,â€? having been introduced and discussed at special meetings April 4-5. However, council still has several outstanding issues to discuss before the ďŹ gures are ďŹ nalized, she noted. Council decisions on such issues as upgrading of the recently-acquired Perneel building and what to do about the Braeside feral cat problem will affect the bottom line.

Should a worker fall sick, there is no replacement so the work piles up, said social worker John Gillies. “We’re overworked. Sick leave is up. Disability is up because those people are worked into the ground,� he said. “It makes (former PC premier Mike) Harris look like a pussycat. This is the corporate agenda.� However, recent polls show the public is in favour of the McGuinty government’s “austerity budget� that would see public sector wages frozen for two years. Gillies said those who care about the middle class ought to care about

the plight of unions. If austerity is truly required, he indicated, it ought to begin with sixďŹ gure salaries paid out to MPPs and the heads of public institutions. “Austerity needs to start at the top, not with the day-to-day service providers in the community,â€? he said. According to a pamphlet the group was handing out, caseloads are increasing in Renfrew County. “For every 106 clients leaving, the program sees 144 new applicants per month, meaning an increase of about 38 clients on average on a monthly basis.â€?

Post office offer withdrawn John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news –McNab-Braeside council, on a 3-2 vote, decided Tuesday to withdraw its offer of the Braeside fire hall for a post office in the village. Coun. Aldene Styles, who moved a motion, argued that almost year-long delay in hiring a new postmaster for Braeside is adversely affecting the fire department’s programs at the site. Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie, who opposed the motion along with Mayor Mary Campbell, argued that removing the offer could jeopardize having a post office in Brae-

side. Campbell warned the move could cause Canada Post to centralize service in Arnprior. Blimkie said a post office would be a good use for what she said was an under-utilized building. However, councillors Brad McIlquham and Bob Campbell agreed with Styles that the uncertainty for the fire department has gone on long enough and backed the motion. Styles said using the fire station for a post office would leave the department in limbo, as there was no other place for it to go in the area. “I’d like to think they (Canada Post) would stay there (in Braeside) despite the offer being withdrawn,� she added.

Moonlight Madness is a semi-annual clearance event like no other. Here’s why. Twice a year the factory hosts an International Trade Show where all of the new products are introduced to the world. We have recently returned from the North Carolina Market after purchasing truckloads of new introductions. We need to make room for the new arrivals on our showroom oors and in the warehouse. Moonlight Madness is the markdown sales event where we clear out last season’s models, discontinued fabrics, cancelled special orders and all excess inventory to make room for incoming inventory. Many items are limited to stock on hand and no rain-cheques can be issued at these prices. With pressure to reduce inventory and make room in our warehouse, price reductions are dramatic. There are markdowns from 10% - 50% throughout the store. Many discontinued items, cancelled orders and special buys will be priced at cost, near cost or below cost. Pick up a “Scratch & Saveâ€? card in the store and you can save 5% - 100% off your purchase. Plus, Pay No Interest for up to 12 Months*!

OPINION EDITORIAL

Suggestion that library run on user pay should be dismissed Chief librarian Karen DeLuca presented the Arnprior Public Library’s annual report at a recent council meeting. The first sentence reads: “2011 marked the first full year of service in the expanded library. The renovations have brought an ever increasing number of people through the doors, often filling our reading areas, computer stations and study carrels on a regular basis.� Glowing, yes. It pretty much reads the same from beginning to end. And DeLuca has the statistics to back up her claims. There is no disputing that the local library is an impressive operation that runs smoothly and efficiently. The private sector could do no better (for reasons that will become obvious further down this editorial). Indeed, there

is no sound reason for either of our area’s two municipal governments to withhold funding. The only question is how – and how much – it should be funded. Arnprior is funding the library to a much greater extent than McNab-Braeside is. The township has a decision to make if it doesn’t want to opt for a strict user pay policy: • accept Arnprior Mayor David Reid’s report that would boost its contribution to a level that could add 2.2 per cent to the tax levy; • have McNab-Braeside residents pay to use the library, then provide some reimbursement. Both options have their strong selling points and obvious drawbacks. Reid’s would prove costly, but would mean a more equitable splitting of the costs. The user fee option would

mean it isn’t a forced tax, but it also takes what is arguably an essential service outside of the realm of collective support. Which brings us to Coun. Bob Campbell’s suggestion. Campbell, citing public opinion, is leaning toward a strict user fee system. People who use the library should be the ones who pay for it. Taxpayers who don’t use the library, according to Campbell, shouldn’t be expected to pay for it. That position is misguided for many reasons. Firstly, the slippery slope. If users are expected to pay for libraries, how about the frail and sick paying for hospitals? How about parents paying for their children’s education? History shows that social welfare states produce higher standards of living than those run on variations

of libertarianism. Secondly, the free market option. The crux of the user pay position is the assumption supply and demand is the answer to all society’s woes. But a library isn’t a bookstore. It offers more variety, meaning Shakespeare and not just Ludlum. It offers a safe haven from having to spend money, which is the expectation at almost every other building in town when neighbours meet. Thirdly, as society immerses itself more and more deeply into the Age of Information, it is absurd to handcuff the public’s most effective tool. And, finally, it is a question of providing equal access to technology. Council should consider the first two options in this debate, rejecting the notion of user pay.

Using local worker tradition continues To the editor: Last year my husband and I purchased the property located in Arnprior. The locals affectionately have always referred to this piece of property as the ‘Donny Guillemette’s Shop’. Indeed, Mr. Guillemette owned and operated his business for many years at 74 River Road. Local residents were employed by Mr. Guillemette and, in turn, I believe much of his business was then supported by the townspeople of Arnprior and area. Well, much has occurred in the past year. The old woodworking shop has been the torn down and replaced by a new building. But there is one consistency between Donny Guillemette’s woodworking shop and CVtel. The local people.

At last count over 60 trades, stores, and professional services were used in the construction of CVtel and they were all located and lived in Arnprior. All efforts were used to support our local economy in this construction. Every tradesman, salesclerk or businessman hired was courteous, and professional. We wish to thank everyone that was involved in the construction of our new business and we are pleased with the final outcome. Eric and I tip our hardhats to everyone to everyone that was involved in our new venture. Our doors will be open within the next two weeks; we can’t wait to show everyone. Eric and Patricia Glahs Arnprior

Meet your local first responders at Ribfest To the editor: Often our residents meet local First Responders at a difficult time in their lives. Whether it is a car accident, fire, or other circumstance, our interaction with a Paramedic, a police officer or a firefighter usually occurs in times of duress. However, this Saturday, May 5, everyone has an opportunity to meet the brave men and women behind the uniforms at the third annual County of Renfrew Rib Challenge. This fun event pits teams representing the County of Renfrew Paramedics, the Renfrew Fire Department, the McNab-Braeside Fire Department, the Horton Fire Department and the Douglas Fire Department in a competition to win the coveted championship trophy.

For only $7, you can enjoy a great rib dinner. In addition to the rib dinners, there are hamburgers and hot dogs and a large Kids Zone sponsored by Ontario Power Generation. As well, all proceeds raised are used to purchase defibrillators for local community arenas. These life-saving devices have already saved many lives throughout Ontario. So come on out to the Renfrew Paramedic Base at 450 O’Brien Road in the Town of Renfrew this Saturday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.. While there, take a moment and meet your local First Responders who will be having fun and raising money for a great cause! Bob Sweet, Warden County of Renfrew

Villa staff kindness noted during recent flu outbreak To the editor: We highly commend the staff of the Arnprior Villa for the care given to the residents. Once again, during the recent outbreak of flu, their kindness was a great comfort to the

residents and their families. The Villa staff is a credit to Arnprior. The Beckmann Family Arnprior

To be able to journey with each of you has been a gift To the editor: The sky is grey above us this morning and mist is gently falling upon the receptive Earth, so this as the background of this “love letter.” Earlier this year having completed a threeyear contract at Galilee Centre/Arnprior, I received notice from my provincial in the United States that I was to receive a new assignment effective late spring/early summer, depending where you live. These past few months have been a time of deep reflection and gratitude for the staff here at Galilee Centre, the Oblate Associates, the Board of Directors, the many volunteers and participants at our programs. What has developed in a new and powerful way is a diverse community of creativity

and faith. (Once again my definition of faith is: “the opening of the human heart to love in darkness.”) To be able to journey with each of you has been a gift. I also thank the town of Arnprior for your welcome and hospitality. Though you surely notice me, you may not have always understood me or the orange prayer shawl I wore, but you accepted me as one of your own. Once again the shawl was given to me in India as I lived in a Christian/Oblate Ashram/ Monastery and it signifies both simplicity and celibacy. So to the city and all its residence; past and present, happy 150th anniversary! I am sorry I will miss the party.

Thanks for speaking out To the editor: Brava! Victoria St. Michael (Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC, April 26). It takes courage to speak out against discrimination of all kinds and I am so proud to live in a community whose

young people are not afraid to speak out in support of their beliefs. I am 60 years old and I want you to know that some of us “old folks” are willing partners in your fight against hatred founded on limited

Right to privacy should be respected To the editor: Diversity and tolerance, just what does that truly mean? Webster calls diversity difference and variety. Tolerance as being tolerant of others views and beliefs. Tolerate is to allow and respect these things without sharing them, to bear, or put up with usually referring to something disliked. So in regards to the diversity festival which boasts of tolerance, peace, and acceptance, those who call themselves diverse should practise what they preach. Many people who live in small towns do so for a reason. They appreciate the quiet life. The escape of all ‘big city’ has to offer. A simpler way of life, with simple values. Those who would like to force us to “put up with” their views aren’t really being tolerant at all. These are the same people who are offended when others speak out about their Christian views or beliefs; and seem to get angry over

knowledge and awareness. When we speak out in support of inclusiveness we all win. The richness of a community can only come from unconditional acceptance and a willingness to grow together. As a senior I like to walk with my head high and with dignity. Although I can now add “age-ism” to the long list of ‘isms’ I have experienced in my life, I feel privileged to be able to count on you and your fellow students for support. Thank you! Rose Bergevin Calabogie

“old fashion” values when these values differ from their own opinions, regardless of religion. I think that as far as a town goes they should stick to an old policy ... mocked but maybe not such a bad one for these times. “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” I won’t try to force my beliefs on you, or throw a celebration that offends many and I would like the same respect in return. It is never okay to hurt someone, be destructive, or cruel because others are different. We learn this at a young age. Did you ever stop to think that sometimes the fan is being set to the flame when we begin to over publicize things that should be kept private? So when talking about acceptance, accept that not everyone wants to jump on the diversity train and take it somewhere else. Joanne Roesler Renfrew

This weekend!

To the parish of St. John Chrysostom and Fr John, you have been my parish for almost four years and what a blessing you have been to me. To share in the Eucharist, in the prayers of healing and forgiveness and to celebrate both birth and death is pure grace. You invited me to share with you the gifts of priesthood that is gift of God for the building up the Body of Christ/the human family. I am humbled truly by your faith. So to the future, the new assignment will bring me to the bluffs of the other Mississippi River, to the town of Godfrey, Illinois, which is about 80 kilometres from St. Louis.

NATURE

For many birders, it really is all in a day EMC lifestyle – For every hobby or sport, there are varying degrees of enjoyment. There are golfers who partake only a few times in summer. There are those who play every weekend as soon as the greens bear their namegiving colour. And then there are addicts who travel the continent playing in tournaments year-round. Bird-watching is not much different. Many people are content to enjoy the birds visiting backyard feeders, seldom lifting binoculars except during strolls around the property. Others spend every weekend combing local woods and waterways for feathered treasures. And then there are the

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way dedicated “birders” who spend every waking moment thinking about what their next day will bring. I used to belong to the latter category. I would leave at the drop of a hat to drive

many hours looking for a bird that wandered far from its normal range. I once left Arnprior at midnight to see a Green-tailed Towhee in Windsor, immediately returning after seeing the bird at sunrise. While I still enjoy seeing rare birds, I now seldom drive far to view them, often missing vagrants that show up a couple of hours away from my home. However, I still enjoy a full day of birding, and this year I decided that I would spend the last day of April in Prince Edward County looking for birds. Many birders do “Big Days,” but they are almost always done during the peak

Sizeable movements of birds take place when southerly airflow prods them northward. Unfortunately, northwest winds dominated the days leading up to our Big Day, and thus the woods were almost void of birds. We then birded the flooded fields in the eastern finger of the county where previously a diverse array of geese, ducks, and gulls, some quite rare, had been seen. To our disappointment, the most productive field had been drained. But intensive scanning revealed that a Black-bellied Plover and a Pectoral Sandpiper found the pond’s muddy remnants still offered good feeding. We then drove to the west

side of the county where East Lake provided new species. The woods in Sandbanks harboured many more birds than those on the east side had, and our list grew. At day’s end we visited Big Island, where Great Egrets, Dunlin, and a Northern Mockingbird were new additions. After sunset, we visited large marshes, but the rails remained silent and we ended the day with 112 species. As my head finally hit the welcome pillow early this morning, I began to dream of birds. Just how many are possible in a good day in May? The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

Antique fishing tackle and sporting show in Perth

of migration, which lies between the middle and latter part of May. However, I was curious to see how many species I could find in a 24-hour period during the less dynamic month of April. Jon Ruddy, my highly skilled protégé from Carleton, and I set out shortly after midnight. Owls were the targets and we eventually tallied three species (birds encountered only by sound are totally acceptable ticks on the list). At dawn, we scoured the calm waters of Lake Ontario off Long Point in the southeast corner of the county. Next we walked the woods, which proved to be disappointing.

EMC news – The PerthUpon-Tay branch of the Legion in Perth will be home to the first antique fishing tackle and sporting collectibles show this Saturday, May 5. Organizer Paul Labonte said as a member of an antique fishing tackle club near Ottawa, he realized there are few shows featuring the subject in eastern Ontario. He said Perth is ideal because of its central location and its proximity to many riv-

ers and lakes. “The Perth area is really rich in fishing history,” he said. “It’s smack dab in the middle of thousands of lakes.” He also said the James Brothers Hardware store played an important role in the history of fishing tackle, another reason for choosing Perth. “One reasons I’m doing the show in Perth is because of them,” he said. “They had a rather large fishing tackle department.” Labonte said the show is

free of charge and will feature 50 vendors, some of whom are coming from as far away as the United States, selling everything from antique tackle and modern fishing tackle to wildlife photographs. “Anything and everything goes,” he said. The show will also showcase two authors. Labonte said he hopes the show will become an annual spring event. “I’m hoping to continue it,” he said. “It is the first annual, it takes time to build things.”

CCNA president Greg Nesbitt presents Arnprior Chronicle-Guide news editor John Carter with the Silver Quill Award. Carter has dedicated 35 years to the newspaper business. Arnprior placed high in two Ontario Community Newspaper Association award categories in 2011: • Best feature/news series circulation under 9,999 - ďŹ rst place - Arnprior Chronicle Guide – suicide series (which ran in all are Metroland community newspapers). What the judges had to say: Picking up the pieces – First place goes to the heart-wrenching series about youth suicide. A face is put to the issue especially with the contrast of stories featuring the tragedy of one youth who took his life. All the signs that he was suicidal were missed or those he told, kept quiet. The other story portrays a youth who battled suicidal tendencies and emerged from the darkness with help. A discussion on a topic that isn’t discussed much was opened. But hope was given, sometimes in the form of just one caring person, and

help listed by the resources available. This series truly portrayed how it takes a village to raise a child. Details of how difďŹ cult it is to navigate the mental health system were given, as well as tips. In the end, there was a call made for Canada to have a National Suicide Prevention Strategy. • General Excellence Class 4 – third place – Arnprior Chronicle-Guide What the judges had to say: The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide has a sharp-looking front page, good photography and good editorial pages. All three are essential to a successful community newspaper. It also has lots of local news, sports and features. It gives the reader a strong sense of what is happening in the community. Ads are well-designed and nicely positioned throughout the paper, and it has an overall clean and fresh

Liberal letter-writers target local MP Gallant By JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – The federal Liberal Agriculture critic is the latest to pen a letter to local media attacking Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. In a letter entitled ‘Gallant reckless with our health’, Guelph MP Frank Valeriote claimed the MP is putting her community members’ health at risk by supporting legislation that will reduce food safety oversight and make major cuts to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). It is the third in a series of letters from Liberal heavyweights, starting with interim leader Bob Rae who questioned Gallant’s stand on proposed Conservative pension changes. Liberal Defence critic John McKay, who also used the word reckless, followed up by slamming the MP on the cost of the F-35 fighter jets. In his letter, Valeriote wrote that Canadians remember the devastating impact on many families from deaths caused by the Listeriosis outbreaks. “We know that more needs to be done to

protect consumers, but in a callous and misguided move, the Conservatives are making the problem worse. They have decided to cut food inspectors and eliminate programs designed to proactively identify unsafe meat and other food products. “Bowing to industry pressure, Conservatives are also eliminating enforcement of product labelling in spite of widespread violations,” wrote Valeriote. “Consumers will now be responsible for determining whether companies’ claims about nutritional information, such as levels of cholesterol, sodium and sugar, are true. For those with serious health conditions like peanut allergies or diabetes, false claims could prove deadly. Waiting for Canadians to get sick is not a food safety strategy.” Valeriote wrote that the Liberals are opposing the cuts because “Canadians deserve to know that food they buy at the grocery store is safe and that manufacturers’ health claims are true.” He concluded his letter by encouraging Gallant “to reverse her reckless position and put Canadians’ health first.”

Not only is Nordion Inc. – where he is the CEO – one of the world’s leading providers of medical isotopes for diagnosis and treatment of the disease, the company is also the title sponsor of Ride the Rideau, eastern Ontario’s largest singleday cancer fundraiser. Last September, just after riding 100 km from Ottawa to Merrickville in Ride the Rideau, which is organized by The Ottawa Hospital Foundation, West was diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s Lymphoma, a cancer which attacks the body’s immune system. As an avid athlete, he never thought it would happen to him. Not expecting to hear the words, ‘you most likely have cancer’ from his doctor, West was alone when he received his diagnosis. After the initial shock, the hardest part was going home to deliver the news to his wife, Eunice. “The emotional impact of having cancer is huge for you and your family,” he said. “It was such a shock… To go home and tell your wife that the doctor told me I most likely have cancer just shakes you to

You can’t imagine what it’s like.” Never one to give up hope, West continued to work and follow his rigorous sports training regimen while receiving treatment at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre (TOHCC). Coincidentally, the treatment he received included participation in a clinical trial – the main fundraising focus of Ride the Rideau. Earlier this year, surrounded by his family, West marked the

end of his treatment by ringing the ceremonial victory bell in the Chemotherapy Unit of TOHCC. More than ever, he realizes the importance of supporting cancer care at The Ottawa Hospital and research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. In addition to returning as title sponsor for the third year of Ride the Rideau, West is also captaining his own team on September 8, 2012. While the company has set “a stretch goal” of $70,000, West has committed to personally raising half of that amount. “When I began supporting the efforts of The Ottawa Hospital to improve cancer care in our community, I never thought I would be a patient here myself,” he said. “I experienced firsthand what the support of events like Ride the Rideau do,” he said. “It makes such a difference. Thanks to the treatment I received at The Ottawa Hospital, I’m here for my family, my work, and to cycle another day.” To support Steve West’s ride, or to register for Ride the Rideau, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

Fight leads to assault, robbery charges EMC news – Two people are charged with assault after an altercation on Elgin Street April 29. Arnprior OPP report that Constables Kandar and Cameron were dispatched to the rear parking lot of a local store to check out a call about a fight between four or five people. As a result of the investigation, a 52-year-old woman was charged with assault and robbery and a 43-year-old man was charged with assault. It was one of 19 calls Arnprior OPP responded on April

27 to 29. They included six false alarms and 911 calls and two domestic disputes DOMESTIC On April 29, Constables McGrath and Baranoviskiy investigated a complaint of a domestic dispute that had taken place at an Arnprior home. As a result of their investigation, a 19-year-old Arnprior male has been charged with assault. On April 29, Const. Dunfield investigated a complaint of domestic dispute in Arnprior. As a result of their inves-

tigation, a 23-year-old Arnprior male has been charged with assault and breach of recognizance.

As a result he was charged with having open liquor in a public place.

Gallant promotes trafficking campaign From page 12

It aims to raise awareness and increase knowledge of human trafficking among members of the Canadian trucking industry and the general public. The TruckSTOP campaign was inspired by the success of a similar campaign in the

United States run by Truckers Against Trafficking. A truck driver noticed suspicious activity at a truck stop and called 911. His tip led to the rescue of two underage girls who had been kidnapped and forced into the sex trade, as well

as seven other individuals. Thirty-one traffickers were arrested and convicted, and a trafficking ring that had operated across 13 states was shut down. For more information on PACT-Ottawa or the TruckSTOP campaign, visit www.cherylgallant.com.

Skate team finishes second at Winter Games Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC sports – A Renfrew County synchronized skating team with a strong Arnprior connection finished high up in a recent provincial competition. The Platinum Edge team, skating out of Petawawa, is a handpicked elite group of pre-novice skaters that performs in communities throughout the Valley. The team managed to take the provincial regional championship, a 14-team tournament, in Kingston this past February. Then, at the Ontario Winter Games in Barrie, Platinum Edge posted an impressive secondplace finish. The age 11-18 team is comprised of girls this year, including three from Arnprior. Cirque du Soleil was this year’s theme, with Barnum and Bailey clowns the focus. SKATER OF THE YEAR

Arnprior’s Jessica Daze was named the team’s skater of the year. The 12-year-old just joined the team this year, but impressed coach Stephanie Wallace and others with her hard work and dedication. Using the showmanship of Kurt Browning as her inspiration, Daze’s footwork is top notch and her discipline second to none. “She’s at the rink 20 hours a week probably,” said her mother Lisa. “Six nights a week. And you never have to say it’s time to

go. She wants to be there.” Lisa says skating helps her daughter, who attend St. Joseph’s school, “develop who she is” and that perhaps down the road she may skate on a university team. Both mother and daughter teach skating in town, and praise the sport for the toughness it develops. Skaters don’t get to wear the padding others use, and they attempt to keep smiling even after crashing into the boards. It seems to be working for young Daze. She doesn’t come by her talent as naturally as others. She’s forced to give it her all each time on the ice. “I’m more proud of her because of how hard she has to work,” she said. Then, asked if she wants Jessica to make an Olympic team. “I have no dreams for her other than to go to university.” Jessica is the youngest skater in Arnprior to complete her gold skating skills and to be working on her gold dances.

EMC sports – A 30-year institution is threatening to shut down in Fitzroy Harbour for lack of participation. The Fitzroy Harbour Ladies Fastball League used to bring in as many as six teams with 11 women on each. But the players from Quyon opted to form a team and join another league. And others in the 40year-old range are busy driving kids to sporting and other activities. That leaves 38 registered on three teams as of late April. Jody Brenton said she wouldn’t want the tradition to wither, but is hoping the players will agree to doubleheader

games every second week between the three teams. “It’s (registration) is not going well at all,� Brenton said. “I really want it to continue. We’ll have to make a decision by mid May.� Brenton encourages those who want to get back into softball in a non-competitive environment to sign up. “It’s a great way to relax and take some time for yourself. You get to talk to other women, network, get to know neighbours and make some new friends,� Brenton said. “There’s a lot of camaraderie. There’s not the pressure at all that you see in other competitive leagues,� Brenton said. “It’s for the social importance

and to play a game they love.� Game time is 6:15 and 8 p.m. on Thursdays, meaning everybody is usually home by 10 p.m. Players come from the Harbour area, all parts of West Carleton, Arnprior and Pakenham, even a few from Ottawa who used to live in the area. For the $80 registration fee, players get 10 regular season games, three playoff games, a season-end banquet, jersey, use of bats, helmets, balls and most everything else needed. “Just bring a glove,� Brenton said. “It’s a great deal when you think of it. It’s really inexpensive.� For more information or to join, contact Brenton at 613447-5312.

The St. Michael’s Boys Choir will perform at 7:30 p.m. May 17, at St. John Chrysostom Church in a Raise the Roof fundraiser. The Toronto-based choir consists of 90 boys ages in one of the school’s four choirs. Every weekend for 10 months of the year, the junior and senior choirs (Grades 5 through 12) provide the service music at St. Michael’s Cathedral . All students are also required to study classical piano and theory, and have the option to study a secondary instrument (organ, strings, or guitar). The St. John Chrysostom Raise the Roof Committee is pleased to have one of the school’s choirs perform in Arnprior. Tickets cost $20 per adult and $10 for youth under

18. Tickets are available at the Gallery Gift Shop in downtown Arnprior, Peebles in the Arnprior Shopping Centre and the parish office. PODIUM CONFERENCE

It’s the first time in the Podium conference’s 30-year history that it will be held in Canada’s national capital. Podium 2012: A Capital Experience will feature concerts, workshops and exhibits the four days spanning the Victoria Day long weekend. The concerts will put the spotlight on some of Canada’s top

professional and amateur choral ensembles. In addition to the guest professional groups, a Podium conference showcases some 10 to 12 amateur choirs chosen by audition from across the country. The most highly anticipated concert is always that of Canada’s National Youth Choir, made up of top singers aged 18 to 25 chosen by audition in each of the provinces and territories. The 2012 edition will be under the leadership of Ivars Taurins, founder and conductor of Toronto’s Tafelmusik Chamber Choir.

EMC events – The renowned St. Michael’s Choir is coming to Arnprior for a concert. The Toronto-area boys choir will perform Thursday, May 17 at St. John Chrysostom Church in a fundraiser for the church’s Raise the Roof campaign. The 7:30 p.m. concert is a grand finale in four years of events to raise money for the church’s Roof Renovation Fund. The campaign is nearing its end, having raised almost enough to pay the diocese back. Organizers anticipate the choir concert will put them over the top. The St. Michael’s choir consists of about 90 boys in grades 4 to 6. They and their chaperones will be in Arnprior for a couple of days, as they are attending the International Podium Conference in Ottawa. Many of the parish community families are billeting them. The St. Michael’s Choir School embodies some of the best aspects of both private and public education. The school is a unique collaboration between the Archdiocese of Toronto and the Toronto Catholic District School Board. With an enrollment of 280 boys, the school offers a complete curriculum of academic studies for Grades 3 to 12. In addition, through a unique enrichment program, students can broaden their studies beyond the traditional curriculum and classroom setting. Each student participates

There’s a story that sticks with Mona that comes to mind when diversity is discussed. “When I lived in the West, I was friends with a couple from California. The husband was Mexican and they adopted a Cree Indian girl, then had a son. Their Mom overheard the children speaking to a child from next door. The little boy said to the neighbour, ‘My sister is Indian and I’m Mexican. What are you?’ “The kid said: ‘I don’t know.’ Mateo said: ‘Well, I guess you’re just plain.’” For more info on the initiatives: www.eganvillerotary.com/imara-project.html, or www.facebook.com/ groups/310763775658284.

She jumped on board and brought the campaign back to Canada, selling the Dorcus bead necklaces and bracelets at local craft fairs and events. Also, the Foxes had been to the Imara Health Care Centre in Africa whose founder was keeping it going without government grants or funding. “We were just so impressed with what they were doing there,” said Mona. The couple has raised awareness and garnered support at local Rotary clubs, including Eganville where they are members. And while Mona will be away at a family event out west for the Diversity Festival, Alan has agreed to have a booth selling the Dorcus jewelry and offering information on the initiative.

Boyd and special guest Toronto guitar teacher Michael Savona will be appearing at Calvary Pentecostal Church in Renfrew at 7:30 p.m. The show Two Voices and Two Guitars is sponsored by Bonnechere Bakery and Bistro and promoted by Curtain Call Entertainment. “I’m looking forward to coming up to Renfrew,” Boyd said. “I love playing in the little towns and small churches. The acoustics are usually good. There isn’t the pressure and you can meet everyone afterwards.” Boyd enjoys teaming up with Savona for concerts. The upcoming Valley tour includes stops in Pembroke and Smiths Falls. “Michael Savona is a godsend,” she said. “He has a

Canada’s ‘First Lady of The Guitar’ has won five Juno Awards as instrumental artist of the year, and was appointed

a Member of the Order of Canada in 1981. She has performed extensively throughout Canada, the United States, and in at least 44 countries. She has had the opportunity to play for dozens of world leaders including Queen Elizabeth II and Pierre Trudeau.

Boyd has appeared on numerous American television shows, including The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson three times. “I still continue to travel, but I love Canada,” she said. Much of her music focuses on Canada from one end of the country to the other. A new album, The Return To Canada With Love, will be released on Canada Day. It showcases the spirit of the Canadian northlands, with songs decided to small towns, the northern lights, and more. “You can see the rivers and the forests and the lakes,” she said. Boyd was born in London, England July 11, 1949, but has lived much of her life in Canada, and now resides in Toronto. Her family moved to Canada when Boyd was eight, and she became a naturalized Canadian citizen in 1975. Boyd began writing poetry when she was five years old,

but really became interested in classical guitar music when her mother took her to a Julian Bream concert in Toronto at the age of 13. “I would encourage parents to take their kids (to see performers),” she said. “That concert changed my life. “I’ve had people come up to me and say, “’I remember 20 years ago … or, my son or daughter is playing or teaches guitar now. People have named kids after me. “Having music in your life adds so much, even if you don’t become a professional musician,” she added. “You can take it to any level you want.” At one point, Boyd thought her musical career was over. She was sidelined about six years from playing her music and touring after being diagnosed with focal dystonia, a neurological disorder that results in a loss of voluntary control in-hand movement after repetitive motions. It can

often affect musicians. “My whole life fell apart,” Boyd said. “I learned how to play guitar all over again and learned to sing. It was my destiny.” Boyd lived in the United States for 20 years, but returned to Toronto last year. “I walked away from Beverley Hills,” she said. “I enjoy living in Toronto. I have a lot of good stuff happening, some international tours planned.” Boyd prides herself on being a role model for middleaged people. It’s never too late to reinvent yourself, to find something new, she said. “Mine (overcoming focal dystonia in 2010 to perform again) was a completely impossible dream. “Now, I couldn’t be happier,” she said. adding she has a new website, and can be found on Twitter. “I’ve been busy. I’m falling behind in my Tweets.”

County’s Active Transportation Strategy gathering momentum Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

EMC news - There’s still a long ways to go to create a bigger and better active transportation infrastructure in Renfrew County, but the work has begun. Several members of a larger Active Transportation Strategy working group gathered to show their support at the April 25 meeting of county council. Strategy preparation has been underway for more than a year, but Renfrew County property and development director Paul Moreau offered an update. “That’s what we put in front of county council — the start of a formal, active transportation strategy,� said Moreau. “We’ve been doing road widenings,� added Moreau, citing the example of County Road 51 in Petawawa. “So it is becoming more strategic in where we do that, making links with lower tiers that are currently doing that.� Another good example is Whitewater Region, which recently passed a resolution stating all new roads will include a multi-purpose lane (for cycling and other recreational activity). More than 30 people are members of the Physical Activity Network’s active transportation working group. Combermere resident Shawna Babcock chairs the Physical Activity Network, a coordinated network of organizations and people working to enhance opportunities within county for increased

Above are some Renfrew County’s new active transportation strategy working group members. Most members sit as concerned citizens, stakeholders, or municipal or county officials. From left are Jennifer Harris of the Ottawa Heart Institute, Ron Moss of JP2g consultants, Karen Roosen of Pembroke Regional Hospital’s diabetes education program, Arnprior youth director Kayla Menkhorst, Renfrew County property and development director Paul Moreau, Arnprior recreation director Glenn Arthur, Renfrew County emergency services director Mike Nolan, Renfrew County public works director Dave Darch, Physical Activity Network chair Shawna Babcock, and Damien McCarthy of Gearheads. physical activity. She and Petawawa business owner Damien McCarthy cochair the working committee. McCarthy, who cycled 15 kilometres to the county council meeting, hopes to see the day when there are many more physical-activityfriendly routes throughout the county. The working committee, said McCarthy, wants to help create a network that would serve the entire area. McCarthy says he became more aware of the need for more safer and active transportation links when his best

friend, Harry Beck, was killed in a cycling accident Sept. 6, 2005. McCarthy was in the group of four cyclists when Beck was struck by a car. “It changed my way of seeing things,� said McCarthy. “From that accident I saw things in a different light. Thirty seconds before he was hit by the car, we were making plans for a race.� As a result, McCarthy, now 40, said he decided to do something, so he left a good job to start Gearheads, a Petawawa business that sells primarily cycling and crosscountry ski gear.

About four years ago he also joined that group that looked to create more active transportation routes for runners, walkers, cyclists, skateboards, etc. He says there are so many varied resources in the county, including trails, rivers, walkways and parks, that the county is practically calling out to be part of a better active transportation network. Down the road, McCarthy says he’d like to see the county become a destination site for everything from walking and paddling to cycling and skiing.

Another member of the working group is Ron Moss, 63, of Pembroke. “You have to get out (and exercise),� said Moss, who says he’s been a jogger for 25 years and cyclist for eight. With a master plan, Moss looks forward to seeing more paved shoulders and other active transportation links that encourage physical activity. And why not be part of the momentum to create such links, added McCarthy. “People are getting excited (about such prospects) all over the place,� he said of Ontario and Canada.

Just a few of those beneďŹ ts, said Moreau during his presentation to county council, are a higher quality of life for Renfrew County residents, increased community engagement and social connections, and linkages with local heritage and cultural destinations. Working committee cochair Babcock echoed some of those comments when she said the active transportation strategy applies to people of all ages, ability and socio-economic status. The existence or creation of new ‘built’ and ‘natural’ environments are key to addressing health issues, she added. Down the road, Babcock hopes to see the county as the home to more connected and safe roads. This way, she said she says there will be more opportunities for community members and members outside the community to increase their physical activity. The active transportation strategy also identiďŹ es opportunities for the Renfrew County departments of public works, development and property, emergency services and social services. “In view of increasing public demand for active transportation,â€? says a draft of the county’s active transportation strategy, “there is an opportunity to optimize the use of the county’s road (810-kilometre) road network by developing and implementing a proactive Active Transportation Strategy that integrates with the department’s 10-year capital program.â€?

Catholic schools set to celebrate Education Week EMC lifestyle - Catholic schools in Renfrew County are gearing up to celebrate the week-long Catholic Education Week from Sunday, May 6 to Friday, May 11. The theme for this year’s province-wide celebration is ‘Walking in the Light of Christ’.

participated, and the readers of this article, may get the impression that all participants were struggling and all parents were helpless,� she said, emphasizing that is not the case. The program wrapped up in late April.

cation Week Committee sent out a lesson plan, prayer and activities kit to all schools in early April to help them get ready for the upcoming celebrations. As well, schools have been preparing since last fall with prayer services, artwork and other activities anticipating the week’s theme. “A lot of effort has gone into this weeklong celebration,� said committee chair Tony Cosentino said. “At the same time, Catholic Education Week also gives us an opportunity to thank all those who help us to walk in the light of Christ throughout the year.� Superintendent of Education Jaime Perry adds that “we also take this opportunity to celebrate our relationship with parents, the parish and our communities. We all have a role to play in the education of our students. We can all cel-

ebrate ‘Walking in the Light of Christ’.� John XXIII Catholic School in Arnprior is holding a ‘For the Love of Art’ show, says principal Heidi Fraser. “Student art is displayed like an actual art show for parents to come and mingle, and discuss the artworks with their children,� she adds. “We are also having a weeklong book fair.� Meanwhile, St. Joseph’s Catholic High School will send a busload of students to take part in the March for Life in Ottawa. St. Joseph’s will celebrate Pro-Life Week during Catholic Education Week with a number of awareness activities. As well, a student team that recently visited the Dominican Republic will make presentations at other Catholic schools in the area to talk about their trip.

DRIVE A FORD 4 UR SCHOOL

The Arnprior District High School student council is holding a five-kilometre run/walk, rain or shine, this Saturday, May 5, with all proceeds going to the mental health facility at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Registration at the school track begins at 8:30 a.m. and the run/walk is set for 10 a.m. The run’s route will go through the Grove and Division, William, Daniel, John, and Ottawa streets. There is a $20 registration fee with tax receipts available.

Students and teachers of the Arnprior District High School Special Education Department, posing with a white Ford truck, are partnering with Ford’s Drive One 4 UR school event Saturday, May 12 at the Arnprior Mall. The department can earn up to $6,000 the day of the event if students can find 300 people to test-drive a Ford that day. For every valid test drive, Ford will donate $20 to the high school. To add a fun element to the event, the student and teachers are putting together a carnival at the Metro parking lot with games, prizes, face painting, car wash, barbecue and carnival treats. My FM will be doing an onsite radio show from the event. If the students earn enough, they hope to buy some adapted physical education equipment, resources for the life skills class and assistive technology.

Student trustee elected EMC news – General Panet High School’s Roch Goulet has been elected the 2012-13 student trustee on the Renfrew County public school board. Representatives made up of student council members from all seven board high schools made the decision April 19 in the closest vote in its history. Each high school, includ-

ing Arnprior, was given three votes to decide which of the four candidates, all from northend schools, would represent students on the district’s board. The first vote ended in a tie. A second vote including only the tied candidates was needed to decide the outcome. Goulet replaces RCI student Joe Steele on the board.

Community input sought for school board’s new website EMC lifestyle – The Renfrew County District School Board is improving its online presence and wants help from all stakeholders. The public school board is building a new website that will serve students, parents, teachers and staff of the board. The first step is collecting data from students, parents and website users. The school board is asking all students, parents or anyone who visits the board’s website at www.renfrew.edu.on.ca to fill in a short survey and provide valuable input on what they appreciate in a new website. All ideas are being sought. Public feedback will help the board create a website that provides users with the infor-

mation, resources, services and answers they need. To take part, visit the RCDSB’s current website at www.renfrew.edu.on.ca and click on the link to the survey. The RCDSB promises not sell or share any of the information gathered through the survey. Contact information gathered from those respondents who agree to be contacted for the purpose of a website focus group will not be used for any other purpose. Once all the data is gathered and collated from the surveys, all individual surveys will be destroyed. The deadline for survey submissions is Friday, May 11.

SPRUCING UP THE GROVE

A frosty morning at Gilles Grove was warmed by the spirit of community involvement Saturday. A team of volunteers, left, answered a call from the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) to help remove the invasive Oregon Grape and clean up trash from the old-growth forest in the Grove. NCC event organizer Brenda Van Sleeuwen, above, prepares to map and record the prevalence of invasive Oregon Grape within Gilles Grove. Sleeuwen says that Saturday’s work bee was just the beginning of a long-term strategy in Arnprior to reduce, and eventually eradicate, the Oregon Grape. Gardeners can help prevent the spread of invasive species by planting native species in their gardens.

From the Ottawa to Mississippi: Galilee priest says farewell Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Photo by SHERRY HAAIMA

After three years at the Galilee Centre in Arnprior, Rev. Jack Lau, an Oblate father, has been reassigned to the town of Godfrey, Illinois, to the banks of the Mississippi River. In Illinois, Lau will join the Regional Novitiate, where men spend one year discerning their vocation to become a vowed missionary Oblate.

R0011388177

EMC news – When Rev. Jack Lau drives away from the Galilee Centre in a few weeks, he will be taking a piece of Arnprior with him. And undoubtedly, Father Jack, as he’s known to most, has left his mark on Arnprior and Galilee. From the peace pole at Galilee’s front door to the new and rejuvenated programs and the new crop of yoga enthusiasts inspired by the Oblates Missionary priest who has been at Galilee for the past three years, his work will continue to be of benefit for years to come. Lau will deliver his last interpretive mass Saturday of the May long weekend and celebrate and say some good-byes at a pot-luck at his house afterwards. His new assignment will bring him to the town of Godfrey, Illinois, to the banks of the Mississippi River and a place not unlike the Galilee Centre on the Ottawa River. Getting ready to say his goodbyes has been a bit overwhelming, says Lau, especially since he found a special home in Arnprior. “The people have been very welcoming,” says Lau. “They really appreciated having a priest here at Galilee.” Lau also led mass each Sunday at the University of Ottawa – so the good-byes will stretch beyond Arnprior and surrounding area. The hospitality he has experienced and the relationships he has made extend beyond those in the Galilee and church community. And the connections he has made with people here will stay with him. “There are many ways to live out church and I allow people to do so in a variety of ways, says Lau. “It’s not necessarily the building, but it’s the people gathered,” he says. “We’re all so busy and we get tired,” says Lau. But he has encouraged those around him to make time for God and for each other. Coming from an ashram in India to the Town of Arnprior was more than just a huge geographic change for Lau. “I went from a life of five to seven hours a day in the temple – a life that was very regular – to a life that

has very little structure and where structure is there I had to put it there myself.” Lau says some people didn’t know what to think at first when he arrived, with the orange prayer shawl he is rarely seen without. The shawl, given to him in India where he lived in a Christian Oblate Ashram/Monastery, signifies simplicity and celibacy. “In time, they got to know who I was, and that it was just a part of who I was,” he says. “We don’t all have to fit into the same box,” says Lau. “We don’t all have to talk and present our feelings in the same way.” UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY

Being at the Galilee Centre presented a unique opportunity, says Lau. And as news of his departure

spreads, he is already surprised by the number of people coming forward to say goodbye and let him know he made a difference. “People were able to come here and share their stories and knew it was a place of confidentiality that was a bit removed from their neighbours and the church,” he says. From baptisms to funerals, to teaching yoga and leading retreats, getting to know people and sharing their experiences has been a wonderful thing. “It’s really an amazing experience when people let you into their lives,” says Lau. In Illinois, Lau will join the Regional Novitiate, where men spend one year discerning their vocation to become a vowed missionary Oblate. He is excited about the opportunity to share the history and teachings of St. Eugene de Mazenod and the Oblates.

Submitted photo

It was clear early on that Rev. Jack Lau, left, was destined to the priesthood. In this early photo from his childhood he mimics the traditional ‘blessing of the throats’ with his less-than-impressed younger brother.

Stitches from the land Photo by Derek Dunn Gordon Lightfoot in his classic song Canadian Railroad Trilogy lamented that: “We have opened up the soil; With our teardrops and our toil.” It seems the reverse is happening to the railway industry across Canada. Just west of Arnprior over the last couple of weeks, workers have been pulling up tracks. The land will likely return to trail, again following the opposite direction of Lightfoot’s song. Just as the Kenwood Centre - behind the open boxcar filled with ties has changed almost beyond recognition, so too will memories trains passing through town, the whistle spreading overhead, will begin to fade and change irrecoverably.

MCNAB-BRAESIDE

McNab Days - A new kind of drama and fun for everyone Torches and Tartan runs: township to celebrate Scottish heritage in annual late June festival EMC events - A little bit of background: Throughout Canadian history and the fight for a “people’s” government, everyone has heard of William Lyon McKenzie and the standoff at Montgomery Inn. Most have heard about Joseph Papineau. But have you heard of Peter Campbell, James Carmichael and Alexander McNab (not to be confused with Archibald)? Probably not, yet these three men more than many other more famous historical figures represent the true grassroots movement in early Upper Canada of government by the people, for the people. The Township of McNab, (now McNab-Braeside) is famous for its founding, in 1825, by a Scottish Laird bent on recouping his fortunes through the exploitation of settlers and their timber. Persecution of the McNab settlers included personal confrontations, plots and swindles, illegal incarcerations, crooked magistrates, clandestine meetings, home burnings, property damage, mutinies and death — the stuff of high drama. MCNAB ‘FRIENDLY SOCIETY’

Lesser known is that quietly in the background, three men formed the McNab ‘Friendly Society’, the equivalent of today’s community association. Starting in 1829, this group grew to include almost every family in the Township, raising funds for legal defence and, most significantly, pe-

titioning every successive governor general appointed to Upper Canada. Eventually, this led to an investigation called the ‘Allan Report’ of 1840 and contributed to the creation of municipal and provincial government as we know it today. Looking to the French Revolution a mere 40 years earlier, there were times when the people of McNab Township considered more violent measures to ease their frustrations. However, the voice of reason such as that of old John Forest always counselled that the folk of McNab would prevail through legal and legislative means — and so they did. JUNE 22 TO JULY 1

‘McNab Days’ is McNab-Braeside’s annual nine-day festival, June 22 to July 1, celebrating the Township’s history, natural heritage and rural roots. 1. Friday, June 22 - Calling of the Clans: Torches will be held high at the annual ‘Calling of the Clans’ Friday, June 22, the eve of McNab Days. At 7 p.m., the grounds of Waba Cottage Museum and Gardens will resound to pipe bands and Celtic music. The ancient rite of the ‘Calling’ commences as dusk falls at 9 p.m. Family heads, municipal leaders, organization and business representatives from all backgrounds are welcome to raise a torch, proclaim their history, and re-commit to the values of family, community, and clan so prized in McNab-Braeside.

2. Saturday, June 23 - Braeside Riverdrive: Goodbye Alligator, Hello Beaver! The Braeside Riverdrive, one of the most popular events, promotes the past, present and future of the Ottawa River. Held Saturday, June 23 at Red Pine Bay in Braeside on the Chats Lake reach of the Ottawa, the Drive includes a flotilla of heritage river craft that makes its way from Norway Bay, Quebec to Red Pine Bay on the Ontario side. A highlight of the 2012 flotilla is the world’s only operating Alligator warping tug, the W.D. Stalker, which is on loan from the Norfolk Historical Society in Simcoe. This year’s event will see the Alligator making its farewell voyage on the Chats - a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. Festivities, food, music and family entertainment are exuberant on both sides of the river with a noon arrival of the Alligator and Flotilla at Red Pine Bay. FLYING BEAVER

3. As much as we regret saying goodbye to our Alligator, we are excitedly anticipating the Beaver flying in at 2 p.m. for the grand opening of the Braeside Beach, next door to Red Pine Bay. The de Havellin float plane is a feature of the Vintage Wings collection. Also flying in for the event will be the more modern ultralights as well as parachute landings from the

5-Mile High Parachute Club (weather permitting; Sunday, June 24 if the weather does not cooperate). The fly-in is in anticipation of a ‘Float Plane Fly-in Breakfast’ planned for 2013. Also on hand will be artists’ displays, displays by organizations, quilt display, woodcarving, rope-making, breakfast and lunch by the Lions Club, fiddlers and bluegrass bands. The day ends with a pilgrimage to the Braeside United Church at 4:30 p.m., where there will be a barbecue, craft sale and entertainment. TARTAN RUN

4. Sunday, June 24 - Tartan Run and Sunday Stretch/Family Day: From ancient rites to modern-day fitness, the first annual Tartan Run begins at 8 a.m., with 100 runners/ walkers decked out in red-haired ‘Jimmy Tams’, which will be provided with the $20 registration. The five-km run/walk will proceed along Usborne Street to Sandy Hook and the Malloch Road Cemetery, and back to Red Pine Bay. The Lions Club will have bacon on a bun available for breakfast. The Tartan Run is the first event in a day full of Sunday Stretch Family Fun. Come out for a Tai Chi demo and beginner’s class at 10 a.m. There are also canoe and kayak races in the afternoon, starting at 1 pm. Canoe Race categories: open pairs; and adult and youth under 17. Kayak Race categories: men’s and women’s (pre-registration by June

15 by contacting Heather Lang; hlrpublishing@bell.net; 613-622-5649; the entry fee for the day is all you need). The races will start at Red Pine Bay, go to the Sand Point lighthouse and return. Lots for the whole family. 5. Saturday, June 30 - Walk/Cycle/ Ride/Drive the Heritage Trail, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Celebrating the release of the ‘McNab Papers’ CD of authentic 19th-century correspondence relating to the Lots and Concessions of McNab Township, heritage kiosks will be available at the Poole/Division Street entrance to the McNabBraeside Recreation Trail, as well as the trail’s intersection with Campbell Drive. CDs are available for $20. HERITAGE TOUR

As an extension of the Heritage Trail, the Burnstown United Church is offering a Heritage Tour of Burnstown’s historic homes and gardens complete with Strawberry Social for $25. McNab-Braeside’s heritage can also be experienced at Waba Cottage Museum in White Lake and the Township’s many other heritage sites. Festival entry fee is $4 a person at the gate, $10 for a family of four. Nine-day festival passes for all five municipal events cost $100 a person, $20 for a family of four. They are available at the Township Office.

I was extremely overwhelmed and deeply touched on how our community has come together and supported our family during this difficult time. We will always remember all your acts of kindness shown to us after Norman’s sudden death on April 5th.... It is difficult to find words to express how thankful we are. We are truly grateful to have a wonderful family, friends and neighbours like you! We want to personally thank you for the delicious food preparations/meals you provided, the beautiful flowers and the many donations and monetary contributions to the trust fund. This token of love is greatly appreciated by each one of us. A sincere thank you to Rev. Russell Wardell, we were deeply touched by your meaningful service you delivered for Norman. We wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to Uncle Larry and Tammy & Pete Payton for the many fond memories that you shared during the eulogy. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to Sherry McLeod and the parents of our local hockey community for organizing such a lovely lunch. Our pallbearers, Pete Payton, Kelvin Hart, Paul Edwards, Glenn Ruxton, Joe Pierunek and Rob Wright, thank you for serving at Norman’s funeral. A special thank you to Kirk and Will at Anderson’s Funeral home for the compassion and understanding way that they assisted us to make Norman’s funeral easier during our time of bereavement. I am very thankful for the support from my employer and colleagues at Welch LLP. Words cannot express how grateful I am!

Time speeds on, four years that Jim is gone, Since death it’s gloomy shadow cast, But remembrance is a golden chain, Death tries to break but all in vain; To have to love, and then to part, In the greatest sorrow of one’s heart. Time may wipe our neverThe memory of those happy days, When we were all together.

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal; But neither time nor reason, Will change the way I feel. For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles No one knows how , many times, we have broken down and cried.

Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us, Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. The special years will not return, When we were all together, but with the love within our hearts, You will walk with us forever. Our loved one is with our Saviour now Where there is perfect rest And there is comfort in the thought That a loving God knows best. Until we meet again, Your loving wife, Bernadette Your children Marion, Patrick, Avery, Andrew, Teresa and their families

Donate old cars to help kidney patients Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

If you have an old jalopy, or a car not so old that you no longer need, you can rid yourself of it and help support a good cause at the same time. The Kidney Foundation of Canada’s Kidney Car Program is a fundraising rural spring clean-up initiative that includes the Arnprior area. With the high rate of kidney disease in Renfrew County, it’s an especially worthy charity to support. “People are invited to donate their old or unwanted vehicles to the kidney foundation,” Kidney Car Program manager David Cybulski said. “We pick up cars from individuals and companies. We provide free towing service, usually within 48 hours. “You’ll receive a valuable tax receipt,” Cybulski added. Cybulski said there are three ways the foundation generates funds from the vehicles they take in. “We’ll recycle. It’s amazing what you might get from old cars. We’ll resell when possible, or in some unique cases, we’ll have an auction.” Vehicles that are not resold are disposed of in an environmentally friend manner. The car, tires, battery and oil are recycled. “It’s an easy way to get rid of an unwanted vehicle while helping a good cause,” Cybulski added. Kidney Car accepts vehicles of any age or condition so long as they are accessible by tow truck. “There are always those cars you see sitting behind the barn somewhere, or crowding up properties in rural communities. We had a gentle-

SPRAY ON THE SUNSHINE

Jenny Miseferi, right, of Airbrush Tanning at Beauty Boutique in Arnprior is once again offering a special discount on spray tans in the month of May, which is skin cancer awareness month. For every spray tan, $5 will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. Spray tans are a safe alternative to the sun and tanning beds, says Miseferi. To kick off the initiative, this Friday night Miseferi is offering full body tans for $27.50, regularly $45. Above, Hollan Miseferi shows off her spray tan (complete with cutout heart on her abdomen).

The Kidney Car tow truck is ready to come out to the Arnprior area to pick up unwanted old vehicles. Owners can get rid of their junkers, while receiving a tax receipt and helping a good cause. man donate three old cars recently because bylaw was threatening fines and free towing is hard to beat,” Cybulski said. Not only do the old cars become an eyesore, they could leak contamination into the soil and water table, causing health and environmental problems. Most provinces run the Kidney for Cars program. It’s been in Ontario for about 20 years. “We also have Kidney Car branded tow trucks to come around and pick up the cars,” Cybulski said. The Kidney Foundation of Canada gives out a minimum tax receipt of $300. In the case of cars in better shape, the donor will get a receipt for the amount the Kidney Foundation gets in selling the car. In some instances, the donor receives a tax receipt for the amount of an appraisal. Proceeds help in medical research,

patient services and more, in the Ottawa Valley. Cybulski noted local support can benefit patients of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital, which has the closest kidney dialysis unit to Arnprior. “Kidney patients benefit from your generous donation,” Cybulski said. “Your car donation will help in the fight against kidney disease. It is an easy, hassle-free way of disposing your vehicle. We will take care of co-ordinating the pick-up of your vehicle and its disposal promptly and efficiently. “We’ll even remove the plates for you!” About 2.6 million Canadians have kidney disease or are at risk. Arnprior area people can donate unwanted vehicles online at www. kidneycar.ca or by calling the Kidney Care Hotline at 1-866-788-2277 Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Mother had mastered ‘the look’ EMC Lifestyle - My sister Audrey said Mother had what she called ‘the look’. She said it was worse than a slap on the side of the head. It didn’t take me long to figure out what she meant after I was subjected to ‘the look’ when I committed a minor act of disobedience in front of a neighbour. She had dropped in for tea one afternoon. All I did was take the first cookie off the plate, which I learned very quickly, was just not done until the guest was first served.

I got ‘the look’, and quickly put the cookie back on the plate, which earned me another ‘look’! I was then faced with the problem of trying to figure out how to correct my social error, so I decided the best thing to do was re-take the same cookie and get out of there. Which I did, and then I ran out of the house, and practically swallowed it whole as I passed through the summer kitchen. Mother used ‘the look’ a lot when we went to church. If any one of us five kids, squirmed

My View From Island View

Your Comfort Zone

So I was giving some thought to my comfort zone the other day. My deďŹ nition of a comfort zone is that area in your life that you operate from where you feel most comfortable, stable, secure and conďŹ dent. I ďŹ nd when I stay in this zone for very long I get bored, irritated, lethargic and apathetic. I think it’s very important for all of us to get out of our comfort zone to feel energized, challenged and alive. I believe that is why my love for traveling is so strong. As much as it makes me uncomfortable and stressed some of the times, the beneďŹ ts are so rewarding. When you are standing all alone in Belize doing yoga on a beach in the Golf of Honduras how can you not feel totally alive. When you are zip lining over a 50 foot gorge in Costa Rica how can you not feel energized and when you are caring, bathing and changing diapers for an abandoned baby gibbon in Thailand, how can you not feel like an anxious mother? Taking ourselves out of our own comfort zone is imperative for personal growth. It lends itself to increasing self conďŹ dence a hundred times over. It teaches you so much about yourself, the good and not so good points about your personality. Removing yourself from a comfort zone creates courage and passion for life. It can also introduce you to so many challenging

and rewarding experiences. It helps you ďŹ gure out what you excel at doing, what you enjoy and what you would never want to do again!

Another resident who will remain nameless, recalls being way out of his comfort zone also during the war when, how should I say, a lady of the evening approached him and wanted to take one of his crew members away for a few days for some fun and he had to tell her NO!

For instance, I really do not like horses very much. I have tried very hard to enjoy them. From a young age starting around 8 years old, I have put myself in situations where I ride them and pet them and the experience is never good. Horses have left me hanging in trees, hanging on for dear life and hanging upside down. Horses feel my fear, play on my sensibilities and then enjoy terrorizing me. I have made the decision in my life to stay IN my comfort zone around horses.

Leaving a comfort zone behind can challenge us to step up to the plate in a variety of ways. Believing that it is ok to make mistakes and try again makes it easier to step out of this zone. Whatever this means for you, I challenge you to try something different. It could be a new activity or a new way to approach someone you are having difďŹ culty with. Try something different, step out of your comfort zone and see what happens. It may add some spice to your life.

Doug who just moved into Island View a few weeks ago shared with me a story from his younger years when he was a co-pilot in the 2nd World War. He recalls being out of his comfort zone when ying supplies of food, ammunition and medical provisions to paratroops that he had previously dropped at the bridges crossing the Rhine River. He did this all while under heavy ďŹ re from the Germans.

too much for her liking, we got ‘the look’, and if that didn’t work, it was followed by a sharp jab on the knee. Mother was able to accomplish the jab without taking her eyes off the pulpit, which always amazed me. I could never figure out how she knew who was acting up without even looking our way! This confirmed for me what Audrey once said: Mother had eyes in the back of her head. Although I was never able to actually see that she had an extra set of eyes under her thick black hair. My brother Emerson said her jabs were sharp as a knife. There was never any comment with ‘the look’. It was enough to send the message of her disapproval. And it was often directed towards Father, who paid absolutely no attention at all to it. Mother could never get used to Father cooling his tea in his saucer. And although he did it almost every meal, and as Audrey said, she should have been used to it by now, Mother would send him ‘the look’, as soon as he tipped the tea out, and then carefully lift the saucer to his lips, often giving it a few soft puffs of air first. And, of course, if any one of us acted up during a meal, that was enough to warrant ‘the look’. Don’t put too much food in your mouth at once, don’t make a stab for the last sausage on the platter, remember to say please and thank you, and heaven help you if you were caught with your eyes open during Grace. Those misdemeanors all deserved ‘the look’. Well away from earshot, of course, Emerson once said Mother must have had her eyes open herself during Grace to see one of us breaking this cardinal rule! Audrey reminded Emerson that Mother could see things when no one else could! Mother’s whole face changed when she was giving ‘the look’. She had snapping brown eyes, and she would bring them down to thin slits, and even though you could barely see the

pupils, they could bore right through you. Her eyebrows came together, and formed a straight line across her forehead. Sometimes she would purse her lips as if getting read to say something, but she didn’t need to utter a word. ‘The look’ was enough. Mother had to be close to you to administer her next form of reprimand if ‘the look’ didn’t work. She wouldn’t think twice of giving the brothers a sharp swat on the side of their head. Sometimes it hit the ear BY MARY COOK dead-on. Emerson said when that happened; his ears rang for three days. Audrey said he was exaggerating. For reasons I was never able to figure out, Audrey and I were subjected only to ‘the look’. I could count on one hand the number of times I took a slap on the ear. That probably had more to do with the fact that my sister and I rarely got into serious trouble. And we certainly never came to blows like the three brothers did. My older and much wiser sister said girls were expected to act like ladies ... that meant good manners, gentle behaviour, and certainly never stoop to physical attacks unless absolutely necessary. And as my sister got older, she started to develop ‘the look’ just like Mother. My three brothers completely ignored her, knowing full well she would have met her match if she had to resort to slapping them on the side of their head if ‘the look’ didn’t work. I tried ‘the look’ on Emerson once. He managed to put me in the ice part of the ice box one day, almost giving me a heart attack. He was too big for me to cuff him on the side of the head when he let me out, so I gave him what I considered my most hateful ‘look’. He ran from the house laughing his head off. I figured I had a long way to go before I mastered ‘the look’ like Mother and my sister Audrey.

FOOD

Mint adds a special flavour to soups, cookies EMC lifestyle - Mint is one of the most versatile herbs for the kitchen. It can be used in soups, salads, sauces, jellies, desserts and even cookies. It can be used to make either hot or iced tea, yet its flavor also complements cooked lamb and trout. You can chop the leaves, add them to melted butter, and drizzle the sauce over hot, cooked new potatoes for an old-fashioned English dish. This week’s recipe appeared in my column several years ago and was so popular that I wanted to pass it along to anyone who may have missed it. It makes a cookie that’s similar to shortbread, but with the flavor of fresh mint. It will be another month or so before the new mint is ready to pick. Look for it in late May or early June at farmers’ markets, or ask friends

and neighbors if they have some in their gardens. To make these cookies, you’ll need about 12 stems of mint with full-grown leaves. GARDEN MINT COOKIES

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened (see note below) 1/2 cup white sugar 1 egg yolk 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/8 tsp. salt 3 tbsp. milk 1 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped NOTE: If you use margarine in a cookie recipe, use the block margarine that comes in a

Maple syrup season-early, short, and sweet in region EMC news - Despite some abnormally warm weather in March, resulting in an early season, Ontario maple syrup producers have a high quality product for sale to consumers. “The maple season varied throughout the different regions of Ontario,� said Ray Bonenberg, president of the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers’ Association. “As was typical of most years, the regional weather differed greatly. This meant that some producers in cooler parts of Ontario were still making syrup while others were finished.� Ontario’s earlier and shorter season was similar to that experienced across almost all of the maple syrup production regions of Canada and the United States. Significant interest was shown by the media and many consumers about the effects of the warm weather. The earlier season production dates ap-

pears to be part of a longer-term trend that maple producers have observed over the past few decades. These changes have been well documented by sugar makers, which show a trend towards earlier start and finish dates for boiling. “This year, as in every year, our Ontario maple syrup has a fantastic flavour,� said Bonenberg. “If you know of a local producer or a local pancake house, give them a call to purchase your pure maple syrup or arrange for a breakfast or tour.� Canada produces around 75 per cent of the world’s supply of maple syrup. Maple syrup is a truly Canadian icon and is exported to over 50 countries in the world. Ontario’s average annual production exceeds a million litres each year, which is mostly sold domestically.

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, and stir well. Add half of the milk, and stir again. Repeat with another 1/3 of the dry ingredients and the rest of the milk. Stir the mint into the cookie batter, then add the last of the flour mixture. Mix well. Shape the dough into 2 logs about 8� long. Wrap each one in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Unwrap the dough, and cut it into slices 1/4� wide, placing them on a greased baking sheet about 1� apart. Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottom edge is light brown. Remove from the oven, and cool on wire racks. Makes about three dozen cookies.

box. The spreadable tub product has more water in it and isn’t really suitable for baking. To prepare the mint, remove the leaves from the stems. Discard the stems. Lay several of the mint leaves parallel on your cutting board, then with a sharp knife, slice them very thinly. Once all the leaves have been sliced, pile them on the board, and chop them into very small pieces. They should be about the size of dried basil. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla.

Happy retirement Photo by SHERRY HAAIMA

The Royal Bank in Arnprior said goodbye to a longtime employee and friend last week when Susan Fraser, with flowers, worked her last day at the bank after 42 years. Fraser, who started as a teller and worked her way up to account manager, is originally from Kinburn, and worked most of her time at the Arnprior branch. In her retirement, Fraser plans to spend time with family, including her three grandchildren.

Sponsors help provide free swims at Nick Smith Centre Kayla Menkhorst, Don Gougeon Youth Corner

EMC lifestyle – International Youth Week is a week to commemorate the successes and achievements of youth in our community. From May 1-7, we are celebrating all of things youth, along with many other communities across Canada. This is our first year being part of the celebrations and there are lots of things that we are doing to show youth we appreciate them. We have the support from our community organizations to be able to offer free public swimming to all ages from Tuesday, May 1 to Monday, May 7. The schedule is as follows: Wednesday, May 2 from 7-8 p.m. (White Lake Marina); Friday,

May 4 from 3-4 and 7-8 p.m. (both Ontario Power Generation); Saturday, May 5 and Sunday, May 6 from 2-3 p.m. (both Ontario Power Generation); Monday, May 7 from 7-8 p.m. (Reid Bros). All of these swims are free to participants thanks to our sponsors and we want to see a lot of youth out to them. Every Wednesday is ball hockey and at 3 p.m. (right after school), we have drop-in ball hockey for high school students. On Wednesday, May 2 we offered it for free. It doesn’t stop there. Add ‘Nick Smith Centre’ on Facebook and join ‘Arnprior Parks and Rec Youth Programs’ group to be in on tons of prizes and contests for the week.

Some include skateboards, t-shirts and more free stuff. The contests and activities started May 1, so add us now. This week marked the beginning of most of our programs, but there are still programs coming up for high school youth. Our Introduction to Humanitarian Leadership

course through Canadian Red Cross is on Tuesday, May 15 from 3:30 to 9 p.m. We will supply supper for youth who are interested in the humanitarian field by learning and discussing values based leadership through many interactive activities. The cost is free for Grade 9s and

$5 for those who aren’t in Grade 9. This is only open to high school students. You must register no later than May 8. For more information you can email Kayla at kmenkhorst@arnprior.ca or call the Nick Smith Centre at 623-7301. Registration must be done in person at the Nick Smith Centre.

Party-Atelier attracts large number of line-dancers john.carter@metroland.com

EMC lifestyle – There was a great deal of fun and learning going on at the Nick Smith Centre April 14 as line-dancers from all over the area participated in the annual Arnprior Party-Atelier. The event was a fundraiser for Camp Lau-ren, a United Church camp in the Valley. The final total raised awaits a decision by town council on whether it will waive or reduce the fees charged for the use of the Nick Smith Centre. Line-dancing groups from Orleans to Kanata and Cornwall to Horton participated. Main organizer Hyacinth Chatterton said she has received an “abundance” of positive feedback from attendees by both telephone and e-mail. This included a ‘Team of 12’ line-dance instructors who took leadership roles in the activities, as well as line-dancers who supported the event. Some of the recurring phrases were “well-organized”, “welcoming atmosphere”, “wonderful team,” Chatterton said, adding that “of course, the word ‘fun’ was almost always mentioned.” That response was particularly pleasing for Chatterton, because she had chosen ‘tonof-fun’ as the theme of this year’s event. “There’s a ‘ton-of-fun’ when there’s ‘more-on-the-

floor’,” she noted. In order to achieve that goal, Chatterton asked each instructor to submit a 30-minute dance set chosen in consultation with her/his dancing group weeks before the event. She was then able to collate and circulate the complete list ahead of time. “This input from a welcome variety of dancers was definitely a contributing factor to the dance floor being full for a large percentage of the time,” she concluded. The total number dances ended being just over 70, including more than 60 from the dance sets. The others were dances that were taught and those requested on the spot. Chatterton said the feedback on having students from Pakenham Public School participate was marvelous.

When the adults were invited to join them on the floor for their closing numbers, there was absolutely no hesitation, and much “merriment and hilarity” ensued, she said. Chatterton said, somewhat mysteriously, that she anticipates adding another new dimension to the event next year by having a special guest attend. The date for the next Arnprior Party-Atelier is Saturday, April 13, 2013. “I feel that those double13s will bring extra good fortune,” noted Chatterton. “I’ve been told by some instructors that many of their clients have already marked the date on their calendars and some who attended this year’s event are already assuming roles of ‘active ambassadors’ in recruiting other dancers to attend.” Photos by John Carter

Three Pakenham Public School students were a big hit when they showed off their line-dancing skills at the Arnprior Party-Atelier fundraiser for Camp Lau-ren at the Nick Smith Centre April 14. Practicing before going into the main hall for their turn on the main floor, in front from left, are Libby Hirst, Payton Neil and Amy Stroud. Dancing behind them are their teacher Liz Brown, event organizer Hyacinth Chatterton and Valerie Penno, who teaches line-dancing at the Horton Community Centre Monday evenings. Rhonda Nadon, who teaches line-dancing at the Crazy Soles in Ottawa Tuesday evenings, was one of 12 instructors who took at leadership role at the line-dancing fundraiser.
