News – Spending promises versus tax cuts: that is the choice voters face leading up the June 12 provincial election.

And while the Liberals promise to spend billions of dollars in infrastructure investments, there is no formal commitment to further twinning of Highway 17 from Scheel Drive to Renfrew and beyond.

Incumbent John Yakabuski refused to commit his party to the most important project (in terms of safety and job creation) in the southern part of his riding, except to say he will continue to work on it. “I’m not making any promises,� said Yakabuski, incumbent MPP for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. “We’re

not going to run around making promises on anything.�

It was a startling turn of events at Queen’s Park last week that led to the election call.

Big promises and big costs had many observers calling Premier Kathleen Wynne’s budget an ‘NDP budget’.

The minority governing Liberals were banking on promises to create an Ontario pension plan and raising taxes on those earning over $150,000 a year.

But after voting in favour of last year’s budget – despite numerous Liberal scandals – the NDP pulled its support last Friday. NDP leader Andrea Horwath suggested the Liberals have not followed through on past promises.

News – If almost 50 per cent of Ontario babies were being drugged with dangerous antipsychotics and sedatives, the government would take action.

However, according to a recent Toronto Star column by Thomas Walkom, because it is happening to seniors in nursing homes, there is a “nonchalant� reaction from politicians. “Far too many nursing homes are doping elderly clients with powerful antipsychotic drugs. The reason? Old people, particularly those suffering from dementia, are easier to handle when heavily drugged,� said Walkom. “And eventually, when some die from

the side effects of these powerful drugs, there is a ready-made excuse: They were old.�

The Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior was typical of those in a Health Ministry study commissioned after the Star began investigating the practice. It found nearly half of Ontario nursing home residents aged 65-79 are being given “dangerous� drugs.

In some cases drug labels dissuade from prescribing to dementia sufferers, but it is done anyway.

However, The Grove started two years ago to bring down its numbers. In fact, Leah Levesque, vice-president of patient/resident services at the nursing home, just last week presented at a conference on actions The Grove has taken.

Campbell to run again, warden unsure if he’ll seek third term Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

News - After taking an April holiday to think things over, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell has decided to seek a third straight term as mayor. “I don’t see anyone else fighting for McNab-Braeside as an important rural municipality,� Campbell said after last week’s Renfrew County council meeting.

Other McNab-Braeside mayoral candidates already in the race are Coun. Aldene Styles and former Arnprior councillor Tom Peckett.

Warden undecided, most other mayors, reeves to run again If Campbell is re-elected in McNab-Braeside and most other area mayors run again as expected, Renfrew County council could be strikingly similar after the October 27 municipal election.

Greater Madawaska Mayor and County Warden Peter Emon hasn’t declared his intentions, but says he’s leaning toward running for mayor again.

However, he says he’s considering an interesting job offer. “I’ll be deciding in July,� says Emon.

If Emon is elected to a third straight term, he could also seek a third straight term as county warden.

In Arnprior, Reeve Walter Stack hasn’t yet ďŹ led to run again, but has indicated he will likely seek re-election.

Veteran county councillors also seeking reelection are Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green, the oldest county councillor at age 85, and Mayor Norm Lentz, a lifelong Palmer Rapids resident in the Township of Brudenell, Lyndoch and

Raglan. Both ďŹ led their nomination papers in April.

Green’s only declared opponent is former Renfrew councillor Kate Windle, as the two go head-to-head for the second straight election.

The election campaign, which began in early January, has had few nominations in several municipalities.

But Renfrew isn’t one of them.

This week began with nine candidates for councillor, two for reeve and three for mayor despite the fact incumbent Bill Ringrose is running for councillor not the top spot.

In contrast, as of Monday, no nominations had been ďŹ led in Admaston-Bromley and only one in both Greater Madawaska and Horton.

THREE IN ARNPRIOR

In Arnprior, mayor David Reid is seeking reelection but there are only two candidates in the race so far for council, incumbent Dan Lynch and Doug Smith, a mayoralty candidate in the last election.

Yakabuski, Dougherty in race, Liberals expected to pick a candidate in next week Continued from front

Horwath said that unchecked spending is irresponsible. “I have lost conďŹ dence in Kathleen Wynne and her ability to deliver,â€? she said during a news conference that day. “This budget is not a solid plan for the future. It’s a mad dash to escape the scandals by promising the moon and the stars. Well, I’m not the kind of woman that believes those kind of promises. I come from a simpler place.â€?

The New Democrats joined Progressive Conservatives in a vow to defeat the government by way of a non-conďŹ dence vote.

That prompted Wynne to ask Ontario Lieutenant Governor David Onley to dissolve Parliament to pave the way for a provincial election.

Under the Elections Act, the vote would have normally taken place June 5, but because that day was deemed to have religious signiďŹ cance (Jewish Shavuot), the election will be held Thursday, June 12.

Yakabuski easily won the

re-election in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke in the 2011 election with 70.78 per cent of the vote. A parachuted Liberal candidate, John O’Leary, ďŹ nished in second with almost 16 per cent.

New Democrat Brian Dougherty got almost 11 per cent, and Confederation of Regions Party candidate Murray Reid got less than 1 per cent.

Arnprior’s Dougherty intends to run again, saying northern NDP MPPs have represented rural ridings well and now the area is experiencing something of a boom.

However, he agrees that taking on gregarious Yakabuski, who is a musician on the side, will prove a challenge.

NO EASY TASK

“For him to get unseated – right now it’s pretty hard.

It needs to take a strong message to convince more people to look outside their boxes,�

Dougherty said. “He is doing his job as an MPP, when it comes to (constituency issues). But I don’t

see anything getting better.

The downtowns look a lot more depressed over the last six or seven years.�

Liberal riding association president Rob Jamieson indicated that the Liberals will have a candidate by the end of this week.

But that doesn’t mean Yakabuski is a shoo-in. In poll after poll gauging the leaders’ popularity, PC leader Tim Hudak trails behind Wynne and well behind Horwath.

Even party members and callers to rightwing radio shows complain that he isn’t charismatic enough and spends more time criticizing the Liberals than offering concrete solutions.

Yakabuski, an opposition MPP for 11 years, also routinely attacks the Liberals.

But expect him to tout the party’s Million Jobs Plan when released this week. “The Liberals are going to spend us into oblivion,� he said. “We have a plan for real jobs for real people; not government jobs.�

Those who haven’t declared their intentions include mayors Raye-Anne Briscoe of Admaston-Bromley, Don Eady of Horton and David Shulist of Madawaska Valley.

Shulist says there’s still work to be done this term, including economic development matters and selection of a new chief administrative ofďŹ cer.

But he says he “probably will� run for a second straight term.

Jack Wilson won’t be back as Laurentian Valley mayor, after spending more than 50 years as an elected ofďŹ cial.

Whitewater Region Township Reeve Don Rathwell ďŹ led his nomination papers in early March, when he had some down-time due to knee surgery.

The Renfrew County warden, of 2009 and 2010, has been a council member since 1982.

As reeve, Rathwell is his township’s county council representative, while Jim Labow will seek re-election as mayor.

Other county councillors planning to seek re-election are Bonnechere Valley Mayor JenR0012682721

POSTS CONTESTED

Janice Visneskie Moore is one of the most veteran members of county council, but the former county warden won’t be acclaimed as mayor of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards.

Her opposition will include former Killaloe mayor Isabel O’Reilly.

Harold Weckworth, who has been North Algona Wilberforce mayor for four straight terms, says he’s undecided, but is leaning toward running again.

If he runs, the Golden Lake resident will face at least two opponents Deborah Farr and current councillor Kevin Clarke.

OPP ask public for help solving thefts from homes under construction News – Crime Stoppers and the local OPP detachment are seeking the public’s help to solve three Arnprior area break-and-enters that police believe are related.

Overnight on Monday, Nov. 18, 2013, two homes on Desmond Trudeau Drive close to the boundary of Arnprior and McNab-Braeside were entered. They were new homes under construction in a new subdivision between Vanjumar Road and Campbell Drive.

In one, a brand new furnace still in the box was stolen. The furnace was an Armana Dis-

tinctions model.

In the other home, new wiring was cut from the walls and removed. A third home under construction was also entered, this one situated on Bert Hall Street nearby. Construction materials were stolen.

Police have learned that some of the employees of the construction company were doing work on the side for some customers and they may be responsible for or have knowledge of these thefts.

Crime Stoppers Pembroke/ Renfrew County believes that someone may have information that could assist police in

solving this crime. If you have information on any criminal offence that results in charges being laid, you qualify for an award of up to $2,000.

Call Pembroke/Renfrew County Crime Stoppers toll free at 1-800-222-8477. You could help solve a crime.

All tips remain anonymous and the caller will not have to attend court.

Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display. Its telephones are answered 24 hours a day.

News – A southern Ontario story that made headlines around the world recently has similarities, although not as dramatic, to a story unfolding here in Arnprior.

A worldwide outpouring of support has gone out to an Alcona, Ont. family being sued by a driver who killed their teenage son. The 17-year-old was struck while riding his bicycle in October 2012. The driver, claiming emotional trauma, has recently taken the grieving family to court.

Meanwhile, in town two weeks ago, a 13-year-old boy who collided with a truck while riding his bicycle may have to pay $2,000 in damages.

According to his mother, Tegan Rothschild, her son Colin was riding on the Daniel Street sidewalk past the Canadian Tire entrance on April 23.

The Chronicle-Guide carrier and A.J. Charbonneau student was hit by a black GMC pickup truck at about 4:10 p.m.

Colin told her the truck was slowing down as it approached the exit, but after not looking both ways the driver moved to enter Daniel Street.

Colin was thrown from his

bike and hit the headlight, she said. He wound up under the elevated vehicle; a lift kit may have saved Rothschild from further harm. “We are very, very lucky that he got off with scraps and bruises,� said his mother.

He was treated at Arnprior and District Hospital for cuts and bruises, along with a bump to the head, then later released.

He has not complained of injuries since, Rothschild said.

Rothschild and her husband Simon said there were two witnesses to the accident: Walter Coawy and lawyer Nancy Donnelly. The latter denies being a witness, but an unidentiďŹ ed woman at her ofďŹ ce admitted to taking down the truck’s licence plate number.

She wouldn’t say why, other than “for the family.� “I’m not going to be part of any newspaper publicity,� the woman said.

The former could not be reached by phone.

OPP said by way of email that the driver, a 53-year-old Pakenham man, faces a charge of “Adult fail to yield from drivewayâ€? sec. 139(1) HTA. However, OPP spokesperson Janice Sawbridge would not conďŹ rm any other information.

The investigating ofďŹ cer is Const. Stephane Trembly. Neither he nor the driver could be reached for comment.

Meanwhile, the Rothschilds are less than impressed with how the driver dealt with the incident. They say he jumped out of his truck, asked the lad

if he was OK, offered to drive him home, then after giving him $50 for damages to the bicycle, hopped back in his truck and drove off. “The way he dealt with it is wrong,� Tegan said. “He didn’t call an ambulance, didn’t call his mother, didn’t call police.�

It was Coawy who called police and took the broken bicycle to the boy’s home, Tegan said.

Here’s where the story gets even more bizarre. Not only is the driver unwilling to replace the nearly new $200 bike, the Rothschilds say he now insists they pay him $2,000 for damage to his truck. “He is now changing the whole story and saying it’s the exact opposite of what is happening,� Tegan said.

She added that her boy’s story is a warning to all who travel in the busy Daniel Street area.

Now that spring has arrived, she wants drivers to make sure they look both ways and at sidewalks (not just for vehicles) before pulling out. Cyclists should also look to make eye contact with drivers before crossing roads and driveways.

Colin loves to bike and she won’t deny him from biking along Daniel Street again in future. It’s just that he doesn’t have bike at the moment. “It did traumatize him, that’s for sure,� she said. “But he loves biking. He’s a teenage boy. All my children do.�

The Rothschilds are considering taking the driver to civil court.

Company guilty of Pakenham blasting mishap Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – A company pleaded guilty to quarry blasting that led to rocks hitting a person, a home, and two vehicles.

The Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) issued a press release last week saying Austin Powder Ltd. was fined $130,000 after admitting to “discharging fly rock” that resulted in off-site impacts. It also failed to report the discharges, contrary to the Environmental Protection Act. “Our environment legislation protects communities and the environment,” said MOE Minister Jim Bradley. “Breaking these rules is

an offence the ministry takes very seriously and can result in serious penalties.”

MOE spokesperson Kate Jordan said the July 20 and 23, 2009 blasting took place at a limestone quarry near Pakenham.

According to the press release the official version of events is as follows: “In the first incident, a small rock struck a worker at a neighbouring business on the arm.

In the second incident, rocks were observed flying well beyond the control area. A scale house located 230 metres from the blast was struck by a number of rocks.

Two vehicles held at a controlled stop along nearby Young Road on the edge of the quarry property located about 300 metres from the

blast were also struck by rock resulting in extensive damage. There were no injuries even though the blast damaged property and impaired the safety of people.”

During the MOE investigation and following charges Austin Powder – facing its first offence - was allowed to carry on with business as usual. It could still perform blasting at the site should the quarry operator offer a contract.

It was determined that the control zone should have been 500 metres for blasting of this nature at the quarry.

keeps a close eye on activities at that quarry, said blasting occurs as close as 170 metres to a neighbour’s house.

‘So the ministry’s comment that the control zone should be 500 metres is not being followed, not even close,” Moore said.

She recalled blasting accidents at the Miller Braeside quarry in September 2005 and August 2007. “The second, the flyrock incident resulted in charges by MOE,” she said. “They got off with a slap on the hand of $25,000 despite extensive damage to one neighbour’s house.”

Moore’s group, Friends Addressing Concerns Together in McNab-Braeside (FACT MB), is taking the township to the Ontario Municipal Board in an attempt to stop any encroachment on neighbouring properties, including the preventing of blasting as close as 150 metres to residents’ property boundaries.

The Corporation of the Township of Lanark Highlands is seeking proposals from qualified firms/individuals to supply and apply Granular Material for the purpose of re-graveling Township roads.

Copies of the Request for Tender (RFT) may be picked up at the Township of Lanark Highlands Municipal Office and may also be found on the Township website.

Deadline for submission of the proposals is 2:00 PM May 21, 2014. Tenders will be opened at 2:15 PM May 21, 2014.

Grove cuts amount of perscription drugs given to residents Continued from front

Of the 61 residents, 35 per cent are on antipsychotics and/or sedatives, down from a high of 45 per cent.

She cautions that the number could fluctuate widely because the home is one of the smallest in the province. But there is no doubt Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) is moving more quickly than others to wean residents off the dangerous medications. “In 2012 we were concerned about residents being overprescribed,� Levesque said. “So we identified those ones and began weaning them off, slowly. And we monitored as their condition changed.�

She said the babies’ analogy is a faulty one. “Do I think it’s acceptable to be drugging seniors? Absolutely not. But there is a significant difference. Seniors are mobile, for one thing.�

To her knowledge, there hasn’t been a negative consequence at The Grove in relation to antipsychotic and sedative use.

It’s not a surprise nursing homes use medication. Sometimes they are used on “exit seekers� who are in danger of leaving the premises. Others exhibit “sexually inappropriate behaviours� and pose a danger to themselves and others, Levesque said.

Some, not unlike children, grow frustrated when words fail them. They fall back on physical expressions.

Often, residents are on nine or more different medications.

The solution, says Levesque, involves treating residents a little more like children in that their behaviours are to be monitored and diversion activities offered before they reach a crisis situation. Similar to the Montessori model, resi-

OPINION

Connected to your community

EDITORIAL

Interesting race in the works Voters in this riding, and in our neighbouring areas, could be forgiven to think the results are a foregone conclusion.

Sitting Progressive Conservative MPP John Yakabuski has been increasing his margin of victory impressively ever since he won the riding, once a Sean Conway fiefdom, in a squeaker over the Liberals in 2001.

By the time the ballots were counted in the last provincial election, the popular Yakabuski had boosted his percentage of the vote from 53 to more than 70.

It’s tough enough for the Liberals to find a candidate, let along defeat Yakabuski.

Yakabuski follows a time-honoured Valley tradition, by being high profile, attending a variety of community events all over the riding.

He further endears himself to constituents by often singing old-time favourites at the events, songs he has put on CDs to raise money for local charities.

So Yakabuski will not be an easy MPP to unseat.

After all, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke was the only riding to switch from Liberal to Progressive Conservative when Dalton McGuinty swept the PCs from power.

Now the province appears to be on the verge of sweeping the Liberal government out of ofice.

Or is it?

Despite the many Liberal scandals, the government party isn’t doing too badly in the most recent polls.

While the Grits aren’t faring so well in the rural areas, they still seem to have a power base in the Greater Toronto area, where so many of the province’s seats lie.

The NDP may be lagging in the polls, but they are pinning their hopes on the popularity of their leader Andrea Horwath.

They are also anticipating they will gain support from voters unhappy with the Liberal shenanigans and not enamoured by Hudak’s Conservatives.

So while, it’s unlikely Yakabuski will be defeated (the same goes next door with Jack MacLaren and Randy Hillier strong favourites), the race provincially appears to be still up for grabs.

Local voters should keep this in mind as they watch the campaign.

Certainly, the strength of the local candidate is a major factor on how people should vote.

But the party platforms and the performances of the leaders also play a role.

With a close race predicted, at least for now, it should be an interesting campaign. Voters should be paying attention.

To the editor: In the latest Report from Parliament, Cheryl Gallant is as usual promising “economic recovery� and “growth.�

Let’s do some basic arithmetic on this. “Economic recovery� is usually political shorthand for “return to growth� of around three per cent.

If we have three per cent economic growth for 10 years, economic output would have to increase by 34 per cent.

Three per cent growth for 50 years would require an increase of 338 per cent, 100 years, 1,800 per cent, 200 years, 36,000 per cent, and so on.

The fact is that infinite economic growth isn’t physically or mathematically possible, and politicians who promise this are making a promise which can’t be kept.

Anglers and hunters know this well: you can’t take three per cent more fish and game, year after year, without running into serious problems.

The same logic applies to manufacturing and exports.

Instead of promising us infinite growth, politicians should be assessing what is realistically sustainable in the long term, and helping us achieve this.

An opportune time to launch a new county-wide trails initiative Watershed Ways

BENEFITS

Participants at the Ottawa meeting strongly agreed that the updated provincial trails strategy should highlight active transportation as one of the benefits of trail development.

Congratulations to our county councillors for voting unanimously this January to develop an active transportation policy and to include funding for active transportation projects in the County budget.

County of Renfrew officials have previously taken steps towards developing a county-wide trail strategy.

They organized a series of four public meetings on trails in 2006.

A draft report completed in February 2007 summarizes the results of these

FOCUS ON RAIL LINES

It also puts special focus on former rail lines. These could form the core of a well-connected trail network.

Making them available for year-round use would be a major benefit to people living in the County and would attract more visitors from nearby areas with greater populations.

The County has taken a significant step in this direction by purchasing the Renfrew-to-Calabogie segment of the old K&P rail line and developing it as a multi-use trail, and is actively pursuing other ini-

tiatives related to former rail lines.

Another County of Renfrew advantage is an abundance of water: lakes, rivers and wetlands, including the Ottawa River itself.

Participation is growing in group events on the County’s major waterways such as the ‘Celebrate Our River’ excursion series, including the annual June paddle from Wilber Lake to Eganville on the Bonnechere, and what may become annual paddles from Calabogie to Burnstown on the Madawaska, and from Renfrew to the Ottawa River on the Bonnechere.

(Paddling and other guides are available on the BRWP website, www.BonnechereRiver.ca under the Nature in Your Neighbourhood tab, and on the ORI website, www.ottawariverinstitute.ca.)

INTEREST GROWING

Yet more could be done to capture the growing interest in recreational paddling, and to celebrate the importance of water travel in our political, economic, military and cultural history.

An “official” system of portages around the dams and rapids along the Renfrew County portion of the Ottawa is lacking, although paddling groups in Quebec are actively developing marked waterways and public portages.

The County’s 2007 report shows the entire route of Champlain’s historic June 1613 voyage upstream along the Ottawa River as a publicly accessible water trail.

Not long after Champlain passed the mouth of the Bonnechere, his Aboriginal guides recommended venturing away from the Ottawa into the

headwaters of the Muskrat River. Members of his party agreed after a fierce debate.

They paddled the chain of lakes and wetlands along the course of the Muskrat – a difficult trip with one day-long portage and clouds of biting insects – and rejoined the Ottawa at the present-day location of Pembroke, just upstream from the Algonquin gathering place on Morrison Island, where Champlain had his historic meeting with Chief Tessouat.

It would be interesting to know if anyone has retraced this route in recent years.

It has changed greatly since Champlain’s time, now passing largely through fields and pastures.

Another worthwhile project would be to identify entry points and provide trail connections among and within the County’s 18 provincial parks and 10 conservation reserves (see www.naturenotebook.ca).

Well over half these areas protect portions of waterways and wetlands, but only limited information is available about how to access them.

Some – like the Little Mississippi River, Constant Creek, Silver Creek, and Black Donald Creek – remain largely well-kept secrets.

With the appearance of new user groups, recent trail developments and efforts by the provincial government to update its trails strategy, it could be an opportune time to dust off the 2007 report and launch a new County-wide trails initiative.

The Bonnechere River Watershed Project (BRWP) and the Ottawa River Institute (ORI) are community-based volunteer

organizations. BRWP’s mission is to inform and influence environmental stewardship and enhancement throughout the Bonnechere River watershed. ORI’s mission is to foster sustainable communities and

Lifestyle - Paddling, hiking and biking trails can generate new tourism revenues and foster economic development, improve physical and mental well-being, increase mobility for local residents, and foster connectedness among neighbouring communities.

Health benefits of trails are particularly important for Renfrew County residents, who tend to have poorer health status than the provincial average.

Ontario government officials recently launched an effort to enhance these benefits by updating and refining the provincial trails strategy.

Representatives of a number of Renfrew County groups with interests in tourism, hiking, cycling, paddling, winter sports and health provided input to this process at a meeting in Ottawa last November.

meetings, describes the County’s network of trails as they existed at that time and provides details on the benefits of trails.

The Valley Explore website maintained by the Ottawa Valley Tourism Association features many of the trails in the 2007 report and highlights more recent trail developments.

Significant new trails since the 2007 report include the “east side” trails constructed by volunteers at the Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre, the Opeongo Hills Nordic Ski Club trails developed by volunteers in the Brudenell area, the Manitou Mountain and Griffith Uplands trail systems developed by the Township of Greater Madawaska.

There are also the County’s investments in paving shoulders to make roads safer and more attractive for pedestrians and cyclists.

The 2007 report recognizes the county’s varied natural areas afford great destinations for trail users, and that proximity to Ottawa is a plus in terms of potential tourism revenues.

County works to adapt Official Plan Recommended reduction of hobby farms to one acre Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew County continues to work to adapt the recently-approved Provincial Policy Statement that some say deflates the efforts of many rural municipalities to grow their communities.

The PPS, which went into effect April 30, has huge implications for the county’s Official Plan (OP) and local land use.

“Our major concern is that development occurs differently in rural Ontario,” said Renfrew County development and works director Paul Moreau.

“Much of the development in our rural municipalities occurs through the severance

process, and the province’s initial position is that they want to reduce severances in rural Renfrew County and encourage development through the more complicated and onerous subdivision process.

“Generally, what the PPS is trying to do is force development to areas of the province that are already developed.”

Land development in municipalities that have OPS, such as Renfrew County, is determined by policies within their OP. Therefore, the county continues efforts to see how its OP policies can remain flexible in rural Renfrew County.

Moreau says the process will for the next 12 months as he, manager of planning Charles Cheesman and other members of planning staff meet with each municipality.

They will also host four public meetings throughout the county to garner public feedback, said Moreau at the May 1 session of county

council.

Where possible, this feedback will be included in the county’s OP policies, then examined by the province for suitability.

“I think it can be done in a way that allows us to do what needs to be done to make sure that the environment, groundwater and all those things are protected without having to go through a detailed subdivision process,” said Moreau.

“I think we can get those provisions in there that would satisfy the broader objectives of the PPS without having to go into a full-blown subdivision application.”

McNab-Braeside mayor Mary Campbell expressed concerns about the new PPS regarding the recommended reduction of hobby farms to one acre.

Many hobby farms within the county are much larger than one acre, but she said ceilings of 15 or 20 acres made more sense.

Ontario Renovates money all gone News – That didn’t take long.

Applications have already closed on the Ontario Renovates program in Renfrew County. The money allocated to help seniors and disabled individuals to access funding for upgrades to their homes to enhance their quality of life has already been spoken for, a mere 10 days after the applications period opened.

The money was exhausted before some newspapers in the county had a chance to publish the story, although it had been included in the April 24 Chronicle-Guide.

The program is being offered by the County of Renfrew, in partnership with the province. The assistance is provided to homeowners by way of a forgivable loan to repair their home to acceptable standards while improving the energy efficiency and/or increasing accessibility of their units.

However, the county announced last Friday that due to the overwhelming number of applications received, the Renfrew County Housing Corporation was no longer accepting applications to the program.

Renfrew County Housing Corporation general manager Carol Neill thanked county residents for their support for this program.

“We were amazed at the popularity of the Ontario Renovates Program,” she said. “It is encouraging to know that some of our most vulnerable residents were able to access this program in order to improve their home and improve their quality of life.”

Afghanistan vets to be honoured Friday in cross-country commemorations News - Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is inviting residents of her ridiing to participate in the local National Day of Honour ceremonies this Friday, May 9 at Garrison Petawawa in recognition of the military mission in Afghanistan. “Our government is proud to recognize the strength of the Canadian Armed Forces,� she said in a news release last week. “The National Day of Honour is an opportunity for all Canadians to honour our women and men in uniform, as well as their families, friends and the communities who kept the ‘home fires burning’ during our 12-year-long mission in Afghanistan.�

Events will be taking place across Canada on May 9. The cross-country commemorations will give all Canadians the opportunity to salute the fallen, honour currently serving members and veterans, celebrate the

strength of Canada’s military families and give tribute to all who participated in Canada’s 12-year mission in Afghanistan.

This riding’s commemoration is taking place at Garrison Petawawa.

Canada’s communities have shown tremendous support for the Canadian Armed Forces during their time in Afghanistan, and this National Day of Honour will be an historic opportunity for the country to recognize the strength and sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, said Gallant.

A full list of events happening across Canada, including a parade in Ottawa, is available at: http://www.app. forces.gc.ca/ndoh-jndc/ndoh-activities.html.

Canadians are encouraged to post their own personal message of appreciation for the troops on the National Day of Honour website.

Tims offers free coffee for military Friday Lifestyle - In recognition of the National Day of Honour and to thank Canada’s military personnel for their service and dedication to the country, all uniformed members of the Canadian Armed Forces will receive a free coffee at Tim Hortons restaurants this Friday, May 9.

As part of the National Day of Honour, Tim Hor-

tons is also supporting the Tribute Breakfast for Families of the Fallen in Ottawa on May 9, and the Soldier On Afghanistan Relay where a team of 19 carry the last Canadian flag flown in Afghanistan, from Trenton to Ottawa over a six-day period. “Tim Hortons has a long-standing connection to Canada’s military personnel and we

are proud to be a part of National Day of Honour,� said Tim Hortons Canada president Roland Walton. “Our participation is just one small way we recognize and thank Canada’s military for all they do.�

The Government of Canada declared May 9 the National Day of Honour to commemorate Canada’s military mission in

Afghanistan and honour those who served and their families.

TASTE OF HOME

From 2006 until 2012, Tim Hortons helped bring a taste of home to Canadian military personnel serving in Afghanistan with an outlet at the Kandahar Air Field.

People enjoying the walk along Hydro Trail will see how high the Madawaska River has risen. The water is cascading over the weir sending white foaming waves crashing along the rocks. The docks in front of the sewage plant are totally under water. The trail next to the marina is flooded, with users needing a canoe to be able to dock their boat.

High water caution issued by MNR News – The area Ministry of Natural Resources office has issued an advisory reminding residents there is still a flood ‘outlook’ on for Renfrew County.

High water levels are being observed throughout Renfrew County and are expected to remain high due to rainy weather, the MNR said last Friday. Rainfall last weekend and early this week was expected to exacerbate flooding in areas already experiencing high water. Elsewhere where water levels have crested, the additional rain could see water levels

rise back to critical conditions and create flooding conditions, cautioned the MNR. The Ottawa River system is continuing its annual rise and will continue to be monitored.

People should keep a close watch on conditions, regularly check updated messages and stay away from fastmoving rivers and streams, warns the MNR. The ministry is closely monitoring the weather and developing watershed conditions. Further updates will be issued as appropriate, says the advisory.

News – The warmer weather, unfortunately, usually means an increase in thefts of bikes and items from vehicles, as well as impaired drivers. This spring appears to be no different.

Renfrew-Arnprior OPP report that a bicycle was stolen from a backyards on Bell Street in Arnprior overnight on April 25. The older brown BMX bike was unlocked between the victim’s home and a neighbour’s.

OPP are also investigating the theft of a brand new green BMX Harrow bike from a backyard on Raglan Street in Renfrew overnight on April 30.

Thefts from unlocked vehicles continue to occur in both Arnprior and Renfrew. Overnight on April 29, personal items including a brown leather suitcase were stolen from a vehicle on Harriet Street in Arnprior. The OPP remind drivers to remove valuables from vehicles and keep them locked.

Three seasonal trailers were broken into on Richards Lane off the end of Van Dusen Drive along the Madawaska head pond in Arnprior.

The culprits broke a window to get inside, but it does not appear that anything was stolen. The trailers have been unused since February.

OPP Constable Jenn Calder is investigating.

In all, the Renfrew OPP detachment, which includes Arnprior, responded to 184 calls for service last week.

Included in that number were eight domestic disputes. A man was charged with assault, sexual assault and criminal harassment. A woman was charged with breach of probation and another woman was charged with domestic mischief.

County’s 2013 winter-maintenance costs nearly double News - The long and taxing winter season put a major dent in the County of Renfrew’s winter-maintenance budget for 2013.

In fact, the longest winter season in many years kept going and going, with continuing snow and cold temperatures well into April.

So there will already be pressure on the winter-maintenance budget for 2014.

The county’s 2013 winter-maintenance budget of $1.17 million was easily exceeded, with expenditures of $2.13 million.

The writing was on the wall early. “It was both the extreme winter conditions we had early in 2013 and late in 2013,� said Steve Boland, the county’s director of engineering and public works. “In December 2013 alone, we

used 5,300 tonnes of salt. That’s a third of the salt we use in a typical year.�

The other major issues included 14 days of freezing rain in November and December, which Boland said placed “enormous drain on resources, especially the use of salt.�

As a result, $150,000 was transferred from reserves.

County council initially estimated a surplus of $300,000 in public works for 2013 would be transferred into capital works reserve for use in 2014. But that didn’t happen.

The surplus was used to reduce the deďŹ cit in the 2013 maintenance program, meaning there were no funds available to transfer into capital works reserves at year’s end.

To keep the levy that county council adopted in January and to continue planned capital work, the operations committee recommended council approve the transfer of $150,000 from working capital re-

serve into the public works capital reserve (which is used for construction projects).

Road maintenance costs for all of 2013 (including salaries) were $5.1 million, compared to a budgeted $3.9 million.

That has Boland crossing his ďŹ ngers that Mother Nature is kinder for the remainder of winter weather in 2014.

January and February 2014 costs represented 50 per cent of the entire year’s winter-maintenance budget, causing Boland to say, “Hopefully, we’ll come in under budget. It all depends on what Mother Nature throws our way.�

Meanwhile, early-season tenders brought favourable pricing for Renfrew County road projects in 2013, and the same has occurred this season.

One example is the winning tender of $609,249 by Carlington Construction Inc. of Stoney Creek,

County holds meeting with feds on AECL’s future Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

News - There are naysayers about Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s future health in Chalk River, but they couldn’t be found at Renfrew County council May 1.

In 2015 the federal government will entertain Requests for Proposal to determine the future of AECL’s privatization in Renfrew County.

AECL’s local future, concerns over the Endangered Species Act and lobbying for continued expansion of Highway 417 are already identiďŹ ed as major thrusts of Renfrew County staff and council members this year. So it’s no surprise county ofďŹ cials are talking positive about the nuclear industry’s continuing presence on home turf.

But even county ofďŹ cials said they were surprised at the tone of last month’s meeting with Ministry of Natural Resources Canada ofďŹ cials.

Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon, who attended the April 17 meeting at the Pembroke Best Western, now awaits federal government response to the county’s recommendations by June 2014. “This was probably one of the best meetings I’ve had in 25 years in municipal politics,â€? said Emon, who indicated that government ofďŹ cials genuinely set out to listen.

The ofďŹ cials said they were unsure if they could accommodate all of the county’s requests, but that they would draw those recommendations into their process, said Emon.

Participants at the meeting included Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet, who chairs the county’s development and property committee. He says the county came in with six recommendations and left with nine.

The foremost recommendations were: 1) the creation of a national science and technology laboratory at Chalk River, to work with the private sector and educational institutions, to support science, and support government requirements for nuclear science knowledge; and

2) co-investment by the federal government to purchase a new research reactor to replace the one that’s more than 50 years old (for about $900 million). “They were not opposed to listening to us,â€? said Sweet. “I think it’s a great opportunity for us to try and enhance the Upper Ottawa Valley and the nuclear industry as a whole, and put this area on the map ‌.we have a rare opportunity to develop the nuclear industry here,â€? added Sweet.

There are about 3,000 AECL employees in Renfrew County. “The genesis of the whole nuclear industry could begin right here and move forward and spread throughout Canada,� he said.

Sweet acknowledged that fear of the unknown remains, but he said it’s still a golden opportunity to push a major industry forward in partnership with various levels of government.

Deep River Mayor David Thompson, who’s often critical of the intentions of provincial or federal government ofďŹ cials, said the two-hour meeting wasn’t one of lip service. Instead, he described the government representatives as “very much engagedâ€? and certainly open to the suggestions and criteria put forward by Renfrew County ofďŹ cials. “Quite frankly, it’s one of the most useful meetings I’ve had in the four years I’ve been here, in terms of being able to see tangible success at the end of the day,â€? said Thompson.

The April 17 meeting included 14 people, including the three federal team members – Jean Frederic Lafaille, director general of the National Resources Canada (NRCAN); MaudeEmilie Page, NRCAN senior policy advisor on AECL restructuring; and Joe Lavigne, team leader of AECL restructuring.

There were also four county staff, among them property and development director Moreau, and seven other Renfrew County team members. They included Warden Emon, Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet, Pembroke Mayor Ed Jacyno and Laurentian Hills Mayor Dick Rabishaw.

Police to collect unused drugs

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

What a gas Spencer Buckland trains Ottawa emergency workers at Budget Propane on Old Highway 17 just east of Arnprior on April 26. The vice-president of LPG Emergency Response Corp. said propane and similar gases must be treated differently than fire and other dangerous substances. The Eastern Ontario team of 10 certified responders is one of many in strategic locations throughout Canada. The training session, which ran for two days, was organized by the Propane Dealers of Eastern Ontario. Organized by Don Merriman and hosted by Terry Wright of Budget Propane, it is believed it is the first time it was held in this area. Emergency Preparedness Week is May 4 to 10.

News - When a physician prescribes medication for a patient, it is only intended for that person.

But sometimes when prescriptions lie around unused or expired, they can end up in the wrong hands.

The misuse of expired and unused medication can lead to prescription drug abuse, so police agencies and health organizations are working together to lower the risk.

The OPP, including the Renfrew and Arnprior offices, will be participating this Saturday, May 10, in a province-wide initiative that will provide residents an opportunity to dispose of old and unused prescription medications.

The OPP is making more than 60 detachment locations available for Prescription Drug Drop-Off Day. The public can safely dispose of medications without exiting their vehicles.

Officers and volunteers will be on hand to take the medications from community members

The public is also reminded that they can drop off any unused medications at any time to their local pharmacist.

“I fully support Prescription Drug Drop-Off Day,” said OPP Commissioner Vince Hawkes in a news release.

“In last year’s campaign, the OPP received over 330 kilograms of medications from 730 citizens.”

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is also encouraging all Renfrew County residents to participate.

“National Prescription Drug Drop-Off Day is an opportunity for all Canadians to safely dispose of unused pharmaceuticals and to participate in an overall strategy to help combat the growing problems associated with the misuse and illicit use of prescription drugs,” she said in a news release.

She noted that Arnprior residents are encouraged to drop off pharmaceuticals at the Arnprior OPP detachment, 44 John

The initiative aims to reduce the volume of prescription drugs available for misuse and inform the public of the harms associated with prescription drug abuse, Gallant said.

“By working together, we can protect Canadians from the misuse of prescription drugs and tackle head-on prescription drug abuse and addiction,” she added.

She said the federal government is also getting tough on drug dealers and producers “who threaten the safety of our youth and communities.”

According to the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, globally, Canada is among the highest consumers per capita of pharmaceutical opioids (e.g. oxycodone).

Above, a male bluebird waits while his mate inspects a potential home.

Female bluebirds make the final selection of a nest site.

Lifestyle - Despite the reluctance of warm weather to make a long-lasting appearance, many of our long-absent feathered neighbours have returned.

High above wetlands Wilson’s Snipes can be heard winnowing, their outer tail feathers vibrating to create that odd laughter-like sound. In woodlands, minute kinglets and fresh-garbed warblers now flit through leafless trees, plucking midges and other insects from their resting places.

Currently, fields are alive with birds. Song Sparrows serenade the world from shrubby hedgerows while Eastern Meadowlarks whistle melodic songs from atop small trees.

But while love songs fill the air, fierce battles are erupting along fences and telephone lines.

The combatants are two of our most colourful birds.

Tree Swallows sport iridescent blue backs and wings that sharply contrast with their snow-white breast.

Eastern Bluebirds bear the most striking blue of all our

Nature’s Way

MICHAEL RUNTZ birds, but their breasts are robin-red, not white.

While both species might seem gentle-natured, at this time of year genuine hostility arises between them.

The hostility is due to their choice of nest sites.

Both place their nests inside cavities.

Originally only tree cavities, usually excavated by woodpeckers in previous years, were used. Today bluebirds and Tree Swallows commonly nest in human-made birdhouses situated next to or in open fields.

Both species return to

our area at approximately the same time, which is usually early to mid April.

Bluebirds are much less common than Tree Swallows, so they have their work cut out when they attempt to stake a claim on a nest site.

The males go seeking cavities and when they find one they lead their mate to it.

Recently I watched a pair of bluebirds going through that process. The male would lead his mate to a birdhouse and then peer inside it. He would then perch next to the box, patiently waiting as she sat, seemingly visually assessing their potential home.

When she flew to the box, he became visibly excited, raising his wings and waving them in the air.

When she finally entered the box, his actions became even more animated.

It appeared that females are quite choosy when it comes to picking nest sites, for no fewer than three boxes were inspected and apparently rejected over the hour I was there. How-

ever, nearby, Tree Swallows deemed several other boxes to be quite suitable for their needs, and they attacked the bluebirds whenever they came too close to their boxes.

Tree Swallows aggressively compete among themselves for nest sites and there are reports of fatalities, sometimes even caused by drowning!

Females also fight, and there are reports of females killing nesting females likely in an effort to gain access to their nest site and perhaps even their male.

In recent years it has become common practice for people setting up birdhouses to place them in pairs a few feet apart so that Tree Swallows will take over one and keep other Tree Swallows from occupying the other.

This allows bluebirds to nest in the vacant box.

As long as the two species keep to their own boxes, peace reigns supreme.

Spring bear hunt pilot project welcomed by hunters, anglers News - Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) president Mark Wales has expressed farmers support for the return of the spring bear hunt in some areas of the province.

In a news release last week circulated by the Renfrew County Federation of Agriculture, he calls Ontario Minister of Natural Resources David Orazietti recent announcement of a pilot spring bear hunt “a well-considered move.”

“The OFA commends and supports the ministry’s decision to launch the hunt across eight northern Ontario wildlife management areas this spring,” Wales says.

“Since the annual spring hunt was cancelled in 1999, the rising bear population has put human safety at risk and caused increasing damage to agricultural crops and rural properties.

The new six-week spring bear hunt pilot will run in select northern Ontario areas known for having the most public safety incidents involving the animals.

“According to the government, this project is aimed at cutting the number of emergency calls and instances when police are forced to shoot nuisance bears after failed trap-and-relocation efforts.”

Wales says a pilot project approach is “a responsible and effective way” to get the bear population under control, while examining the

response and effectiveness of the hunt.

He notes the pilot project will be strictly notfor-profit.

Wales maintains the 1999 cancellation of the annual spring bear hunt by Ontario’s then Conservative government was never clearly explained by the Ministry of Natural Resources.

The hunt generated millions of dollars in economic activity annually across Northern Ontario, he pointed out. “(The) OFA believes reinstating the spring bear hunt will offer economic opportunities to northern communities while preventing damage, danger, and expense to rural communities and Ontario farm families.”

The OFA is launching an online campaign at actnow.ofa.on.ca to show its support of this spring’s bear hunt pilot. OFA members are being urged to send an electronic letter of support to their MPP, Premier Kathleen Wynne, Orazietti and other key policy makers.

“OFA believes this hunt is important because it provides the means to manage potential threats to our safety and livelihoods, making for stronger farm businesses and rural communities,” said Wales, adding that the organization is pleased to work with the provincial government to find “practical solutions” to issues like wildlife damage and control.

Sports – Minor ball is alive and well in McNab-Braeside.

McNab-Braeside Minor Ball Association president Adam Rueckwald said players took to the field last week for the first time and it’s shaping up to be a great year for the league.

A new logo and park improvements are on the agenda for this year.

Registration began at the beginning of March and teams have been created, but new players and volunteers are always welcome, said Rueckwald.

“We’ll always take anyone who wants to play,” he said.

The league consists of 12 teams in each of three divisions – t-ball, five-pitch mites and five-pitch squirt peewee.

The select program, reignited last year, will continue.

“It’s just getting stronger,” said Rueckwald.

“And we’re going to try and get a 12-team tournament going.”

Home base for games is McNab Centre Park, but the league makes use of all the township’s diamonds, including Glasgow, Braeside and White Lake.

League officials are pleased with this year’s registration.

“Over the past few years we’ve seen a decline, for different reasons - including more kids playing soccer. But this year at close of registration we came in flat and since then numbers have gone up,” said Rueckwald. “Interest is definitely coming back around, which is really good to see.”

Nearby Fitzroy minor ball has seen high numbers, too, he said.

A focus this year for the league will be to continue to get the word out about the group.

This will include a new logo, which will be on display at McNab Centre Park, and a Facebook Page.

A graduate of the program himself, Rueckwald said being a ball player in the local organization has many benefits.

“I started when I was four years old and played up until I was 16,” he said. The selects team of which he was a part won provincials for two years.

And although he’s busy studying business administration/accounting at university in Sault Ste. Marie, he’s committed to the program and enjoys his involvement with the league. Running the league begins while he’s still at school and continues when he returns home for the summer break.

“It’s something I always looked forward to going to two nights a week all summer long. It was such a good time growing up. I want other kids to be able to have that.”

He has also helped volunteer after his playing days, acting as coach, umpire and in other roles.

Upcoming special events include the championship day July 12 at McNab Centre Park.

The diamonds are in great shape, he said.

“We just regraded our diamonds, so they look fresh and almost brand new,” said Rueckwald.

New fencing and bleacher upgrades are among the improvements on the way.

CA. Aeroplan Members will be able to have one source for all their online shopping needs and will receive exclusive benefits few other programs can match. When we founded SHOP.

Several local players drafted by area’s Junior A teams

Soccer season begins, ADHS to host county track showdown next week

John Carter

Sports – The Arnprior District High School soccer teams kicked off their season Monday with a tie and a loss to the visiting St. Joseph’s Jaguars.

The girls dueled to an exciting 3-3 tie with St. Joe’s at Oattes Field. Phil Moore of ADHS noted that the Redmen dominated the scoring opportunities and had plenty of shots on goal.

Emily Schnob opened up the scoring on a breakaway from a nice through ball. Sam Caesar then scored on a free kick close to the corner and another on a penalty shot.

The Redmen were to travel to Barry’s Bay Tuesday to play the Madawaska Wolves and then in Renfrew against RCI Wednesday (after press deadline).

The ADHS boys soccer team dropped its season opener to St. Joe’s 2-0. A few bad breaks and bounces effectively neutralized a dominant possession game for ADHS, reports Moore.

ADHS has both the senior boys and girls soccer teams this year, but no junior teams.

High fashion at the curling club Lifestyle - The Arnprior Curling Club hosted a fashion show for the ladies of the community on April 30.

The event was sponsored by Audrey’s In Town and was sold out. On the runway were glamorous models from the members of the curling club and the commentary on the fashion was provided by Audrey Jamieson.

The men of the club served the tea and deserts.

The event was held to raise funds for a much needed new floor in the hall as part of a planned refurbishment in an effort to better service renters. The event raised more than $3,000.

The present location of the Arnprior Curling Club officially opened on Valentine’s Day 1970 and the original floor is still there, albeit held together in spots with duct tape.

Many a foot has danced on this floor. However the time has come to say good bye to those old gray tiles.

A Saint Paddy’s Day curling and card party kicked off the floor fundraising campaign raising $657 and a recent silent auction added another $8,000 to the fund.

Raising $3,000-plus at the fashion show has ensured that the floor will get replaced this summer.

A group of volunteers will roll up their sleeves and do the work to save the installation costs.

Break in weather Hoping the shot doesn’t break is Pakenham Highlands pro and director of operations Scott Mikkelsen.

Although no self-respecting golf club would remain closed, the weather was still causing a slow start to the season on May 3. Pakenham’s popular course didn’t open until April 24, the latest start is 20 years. It was two weeks late, said Mikkelsen, who usually comes in at two above or below par.

Community - The rain was pouring down but that certainly did not dampen the enthusiasm of participants at the eighth annual Hike for Hospice Sunday afternoon.

Registration and other activities were moved indoors at the Renfrew Presbyterian Church and a large group of hikers braved the cold and rain for the 3.5-kilometre trek along the Millennium Trail and through the Ma-Te-Way Park trails, raising $63,475.

Because of the inclement weather and late donors, the total is expected to climb, said event co-ordinator Connie Legg.

“Our goal was $60,000, so SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND we’re thrilled,” said Legg.

Mervin Stewart, who died in December 2011, was surely smiling down on the event from above. It is the second year his family members have participated and his widow Irene said the Barr Line cattle and horse farmer was a family man who’d be pleased to see everyone coming together for such a good cause.

“Hospice Renfrew was unbelievable,” said Irene. “The support couldn’t have been better – for the patient and the family.”

The fundraiser was especially poignant for the ‘Hike for Mike’ team (see photo of Page 35). Shawn Coady joined a large group of family members and friends walking to pay tribute to Mike Coady, who is currently a resident at Hospice Renfrew.

Coady family members couldn’t say enough about the

support they’ve received at the facility. “It’s been absolutely incredible,” said Shawn. “You couldn’t ask for better care, from the nurses and the volunteers.”

The Dunbar family, who has had three family members at Hospice Renfrew, was the top fundraising team again this year. Also one of the events major sponsors, the Dunbars have been among the biggest sponsors since the hike’s inception.

Lisa Lacharity-Kenopic was a member of Team Glenice and said she was proud to wear the shirt and be a member of the team honouring Glenice Brunette, who passed away at Hospice Renfrew in 2012.

Visiting Glenice, who along with husband Oliver was best friends of Lacharity-Kenopic’s parents, in fact inspired her to become a volunteer at Hospice Renfrew. She spends four or five hours a week offering resident and family support at the facility. “When Glenice was in hospice I went in and saw how beautiful it was. I volunteer there now all because of her,” said Lacharity-Kenopic.

Valley. Participants were on hand from Arnprior, McNabBraeside, Barry’s Bay and beyond. “It really reflects that this is a county-wide facility,” said Legg. “It really covers the whole county.”

Spring cleaning brought new life into Mary’s home Lifestyle - The signs were everywhere. Our old log house had finally taken on the look of spring, leading into summer.

Although any visitor coming into the house would not be aware of the difference, it was

very obvious to us who lived there.

Outside, the very last smidgen of snow had long since gone. The foot path from the summer kitchen to the barn was now dry, and the mud that fol-

lowed the melting snow had hardened like it did every spring.

Inside, everywhere, I could see the changes that had taken us from one season to the next.

Mother had pulled out the strips of rags and old wool socks that had been crammed around every window downstairs to keep out the winter drafts.

Of course, these weren’t thrown away. No, they were washed, hung out on the fence to dry, and then rolled in newspapers and tucked under an upstairs bed at the ready for the next winter.

And the windows, grimy from the long months when it was impossible to clean them, were shining from the bath they took of water and vinegar. The windows were ready for the warm weather.

When the cold fall weather struck months before, braided mats had been scattered all through the house ... one hefty one rolled and kept tight against the back door to keep out the drafts ... many others put here and there, in the hope they would help keep our feet warm from the icy cold floors that were impossible to heat up no matter how raging was the Findlay Oval.

And joy, oh joy, the navy blue fleece lined bloomers had one last washing on laundry day, and they too would be tucked

MARY COOK Memories away. Of course, they were no longer the deep navy of a few months ago when they were fresh out of the parcel ordered from Eaton’s catalogue ... now they had faded to a pale purple, attesting to the dozens of times they had been washed over the winter.

The bloomers would join the suits of long underwear and undershirts helping to keep us warm on long walks to school, and they would be packed in the hump-backed trunk that sat under the west window in the bedroom I shared with my sister Audrey.

Of course Father insisted on wearing his undershirt, long sleeves and all, under his work shirt long into the summer. He gave up his combinations only when Mother snatched them off the chair by his bed when he was sleeping, and when the heat of the summer had the rest of us panting.

There were no clothes closets in that old log house, and no storage cupboards, and no attic to store things away one season to the next, and I was always amazed how Mother found

space to tuck things away, sight unseen.

Gradually winter outerwear would be hung on the clothes line, or thrown over the wire fence in the back yard to get a good airing ... always a chore for a warm sunny day. Then each piece examined by Mother, buttons replaced, seams sewn and spots removed, would be packed into a big cardboard box scrounged from Briscoe’s General Store.

Between each piece of clothing, Mother would tuck in a few mothballs. When the box was put in the boys’ bedroom, the whole upstairs smelled of the mothballs.

The Findlay Oval would yet be moved out into the summer kitchen. Father thought that idea was just about the craziest notion he ever heard in his life.

And as soon as Mother got the itch to “turn the whole house upside down” as he called it, he began lamenting about the huge job ahead that took up the better part of a day ... a day better spent on the back fields.

“Three generations of Hanemans have lived with the cook stove in the kitchen 12 months of the year,” he’d lament.

But Mother insisted the big lumbering Oval be moved to the summer kitchen ... rolled out by every hand in the house on two logs, the stove pipes taken down, repainted and a

smaller portion of pipe poked through a hole in the summer kitchen wall.

But the biggest change to me, and the one I looked forward to most, was when the parlour would be open for the summer.

All winter the door which separated it from the kitchen was closed tightly, a thick braided rug jammed along the bottom of the door to keep out the cold air. You could see your breath in the parlour if you had to go in to get the bible off the twig table, or the picture album. It was almost like the parlour was no longer part of the house.

And now the door was flung wide, the one window opened to get rid of the musty smell, and the house was ready for summer!

The last job was done. Spring was upon us, and soon the heat of the summer would penetrate the logs, and after working so hard to keep the house warm over the winter, Mother’s next challenge would be to keep the heat outside, and capture inside what cool air she could.

Legion to host Mother’s Day tea Saturday Arnprior Legion

60 STAYE COURT DR, ARNPRIOR

Community – There’s no snow here, but it is still not great spring weather.

Guess that’s one of the reasons the Arnprior Legion is always busy these days.

The hall is often booked. The washrooms have had a facelift with new sinks, countertop, lights, paint and pictures - its lookin’ good! The hall is a nice place to celebrate just about any size occasion, easy to set up for small or larger numbers.

Decorates beautifully.

Gone yet not forgotten, Although we are apart, Your spirit lives within us, Forever in our hearts.

Caramel coloring linked to cancer Ian Harris RNT

Opinion - Something in your food may pose a health risk and it’s not sugar.

According to the WHO (World Health Organization) International Agency for Research on Cancer, a coloring additive, caramel, has been the centre of attention for two years by now.

The 4-methylimidazole is formed when caramel coloring is made. It is a known carcinogen in animal studies and possibly carcinogenic to humans.

Earlier this year, Consumer Reports found that two out of 12 sodas exceeded the levels permitted of 29 mcg (micrograms) of 4-methylimidazole per day.

They also found that the 4methylimidazole level in various sodas varied around the world. For instance, a sample of one soda purchased in New York had significantly more 4methylimidazole than another one purchased in California in the same month.

So why is commercial caramel different from homemade caramel? At home, caramel is formed when sugar is heated until it melts and darkens.

Commercial caramel is produced with ammonia or am-

Weight management, wellness and nutrition monia and sulphites causing 4-methylimidazole to form.

Sodas are not the only foods containing caramel coloring.

Some iced teas, root beers, gravies, beers, chocolate candies and bread also contains caramel coloring.

So what can we do about this! Stop drinking sodas and iced teas, which also contain copious amounts of sugar. The consumption of such beverages has been linked to diseases such as cancer, hypertension, diabetes and obesity.

Read labels. Bread does not need to have coloring in it.

If whole wheat bread is truly whole wheat, than it will naturally be off white.

Do homemade breads contain caramel? I know mine do not.

What it truly comes down to is your eating habits. If you are consuming whole foods, with natural ingredients than you have nothing to worry about?

However, if you are consuming sodas, iced teas and processed foods, you are most likely consuming more than just food.

You are consuming sug-

ar, glucose-fructose, high amounts of sodium and bad fats along with all the chemicals and other undesirable additives associated with processed foods.

Be careful with breads.

Some of the biggest name brands of whole wheat breads on grocery store shelves today contain caramel coloring and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), also called glucosefructose in Canada.

Now let’s sit down to a typical breakfast and have two slices of white 4-methylimidazole and glucose fructose with some saturated fat spread on top, two fried cholesterols and four strips of saturated fat and wash that all down with a glass of processed orange liquid sugar.

What a way to start the day; time for a nap.

Lifestyle - A message from Pope Francis was scheduled to be one of the highlights that students in the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (RCCDSB) were looking forward to during Catholic Education Week May 4 to 9.

The Catholic Board Council (CBC) of the Ontario Student Trustees’ Association organized a first-ever provincewide Mass for Catholic secondary school students to be held Wednesday, May 7.

While Renfrew County Catholic students celebrate Mass every year as part of Catholic Education Week (CEW), this year the student-led CBC has asked all Catholic secondary schools across the province to celebrate Mass simultaneously as a sign of solidarity.

The CBC also has invited Pope Francis to send a videotaped message for Ontario Catholic school students celebrating CEW. The plan was to show the Pope’s message during the Mass, explained Tony Cosentino, religious and family life education resource teacher at RCCDSB. Cosentino said that several of the board’s elementary schools, including those in Arnprior, were to participate with local Catholic secondary schools in the provincewide Mass.

“Catholic Education Week is a celebration of the distinctive identity of our Catholic schools and their unique contribution to our society,” Cosentino said. “This year’s theme is Catholic Education: Serving in the Love of Christ.

The overall theme is based on Jesus’ words in the Gospel of Luke, ‘I am among you as one who serves.’ ” The week was divided into sub-themes for each day, including Serve with Faithfulness on Day 1, Serve with Humility on Day 2, Serve with Compassion on Day 3, Serve with Justice on Day 4 and Serve with Joy on Day 5.

RCCDSB-adapted classroom teaching kits (from the Ontario Catholic School Trustees’ Association) are being used each day in all schools along with other board-developed materials, to help students celebrate each day’s theme. The RCCDSB also has developed a unique resource focusing on mental health, wellness and safe schools for CEW, said Rebecca Paulsen, the Board’s mental health and wellness lead. The mental health package includes prayers and classroom exercises using the daily sub-themes of faith, humility, compassion, social justice and joy, and how they can be applied in the daily lives of Catholic students.

“Catholic Education Week is an excellent opportunity for students in the RCCDSB to learn about how faith is integral to all areas of our lives, including mental health and wellness,” said Paulsen. “It was a pleasure to have myself, Father Holly and our board religious education resource teacher sit and connect elements of the new EOCCC Mental Health and Wellness Curriculum created by teachers in our Board to Catholic Education Week.”

Individual schools throughout the RCCDSB planned their own activities as well, noted Cosentino.

Students at John XXIII Catholic Elementary in Arnprior are sharing in a Living Rosary with the women of St. John Chrysostom and Our Lady of Perpetual Help parishes today (Thursday).

Staff and students also were to join St. Joseph’s Catholic Elementary School in Arnprior to celebrate the mass with the Pope’s message on May 7 at 10 a.m., said Principal Mary-Lise Rowat.

St. Joe’s is holding a whole school rosary at 1 p.m. today (Thursday) and there will be a spring dance Friday.

St. Joseph’s Catholic High School will hold a NET retreat for Grade 9 students. The high school was to celebrate Mass with Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Elementary community at Our Lady of Fatima Church on May 7.

Jason Dedo, Chaplaincy leader at St. Joseph’s, says a large contingent of students will attend the March for Life in Ottawa today (May 8).

Board chair Bob Michaud adds: “Catholic Education Week is a celebration of who we are, as educational communities of faith, sharing in the Church’s mission to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ, called to make it relevant in the world today, and to be the hope for the future. This is indeed something to celebrate.”

Students Emily Fortier and Kelsey Broome re p re s e nt e d Arnprior District High School well at a culinary and baking co m p e t i t i o n at Algonquin College.

ANNE SABOURIN/ SUBMITTED

ADHS students win second in inaugural baking contest Lifestyle – Arnprior District High School students Emily Fortier and Kelsey Broome, along with their teacher Anne Sabourin, set out at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 29 for Algonquin College in Ottawa.

The college was hosting its first ever high school culinary and baking competitions.

“What a wonderful opportunity for the students,” noted Sabourin.

After numerous afterschool practices in the food lab, the team was ready to participate. The only glitch was that Emily Schnob, who was an original member of the two-person team, became ill the day before the competition.

Kelsey Broome, just hours before the competition, agreed to go in Schnob’s place. This meant another after-school practice, making rolls using

fresh yeast on the eve of the competition to bring her up to scratch for the big day.

At the competition, the contestants were given a three-hour timeline during which they had to set up (mise en place), prepare, bake, plate and present three types of yeast buns, two apple pies, chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies.

The high school students were using the commercial equipment in the college food labs under the tutelage of student-helpers from the college.

The chef/teachers at the college were the judges and the students were graded on their professional appearance, organizational skills and time management, technical food preparation skills, and safety and sanitation, as well as the presentation and outcome

of their products, and their clean-up.

The high school teachers who escorted the students to the competition, along with some parents, were able to view the competition from a classroom in the hospitality building on site as it was live streamed.

After the competition, the contestants and their teachers were treated to a delicious buffet lunch in International Restaurant which is operated by the culinary students at the college.

ADHS students Fortier and Broome placed second in the baking competition, winning a bursary to the culinary program at the college as well as other prizes and medals.

“It was a great experience for the girls,” said Sabourin.

“Congratulations on a job well done.”

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY: ONTARIO’S RETIREMENT CRISIS Your retirement goal might be to go jet skiing in the Caribbean, but what if life has other plans for you ...

Will a health crisis tarnish your golden years?

Jessica Cunha, Jennifer Bowman and Tamara Shephard

News - Mary wouldn’t call them her golden years.

At 75, the Ottawa widow lives tightly on $25,000 a year.

Her condominium fees eats up most of her income. There is little cash left over each month after she pays for food, her car, insurance, Internet service and her phone. She receives no income supplement.

“Save, save, save. Put money away,” says Mary, who asked not to be identified. She is embarrassed over her dire financial straits.

“Save from the time you’re 20. I don’t care if it’s $10 a week. It adds up. It makes all the difference in the world.”

She and her husband held down “decent” jobs and raised five children together. But neither had a university degree.

That put a ceiling on job and income opportunities, she said, and directly affected their ability to financially prepare for their retirement. Both worked until age 70.

Mary is in good health. She receives two small pensions, from her job and her late husband’s work. Without them, she doesn’t know how she’d sur-

vive. Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security (OAS) adds up to only $1,300 a month.

“It never crossed my mind,” she said of her retirement. “You know it’s coming, but it’s a long way off. Then, all of a sudden, it’s there.”

Mary’s retirement experience is a cautionary tale for Baby Boomers, the oldest of which are just turning 65, and for Generation Xers, those born starting in the mid-1960s on the heels of the boomers.

Her financial distress in retirement is an all-too-common reality for many of Ontario’s 1.9 million seniors aged 65 or older.

In fact, many Ontarians simply cannot afford to retire. Consumer costs, including health care and housing, compel them to work for wages and for health benefits.

And in the next 20 years, Ontario’s population of seniors is expected to double.

No one knows better how a health crisis can wreak havoc on retirement plans than Brampton’s Anne Mitchell, 67.

Mitchell is gearing up for a second battle with cancer.

Except, this time, Mitchell is scrambling to come up with $52,000 for chemotherapy

treatment not covered by OHIP. “It will wipe out all of our savings,” Mitchell said. “This is a big financial burden. It will wipe out our whole retirement.”

Mitchell, a former office manager for a construction company and her husband John, 68, a steelworker, worked in Canada for more than 40 years and planned to fund their retirement with some retirement savings and a government pension.

But no one plans for cancer.

In 2009, Mitchell was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

Mitchell cannot take Fludarabine and Rituximab, two very powerful chemotherapy drugs.

She received only two treatments before the regime was abruptly stopped because of an adverse reaction to Fludarabine that nearly killed her.

Mitchell’s doctor has prescribed Bendamustine, which OHIP will not cover.

On April 7, Mitchell used her American Express card to cover the drug’s $4,500 price tag.

“I felt complete and utter shock,” her husband John said, describing the reaction to the hefty bill.

Moving forward, the Mitchell’s say they don’t really have

a game plan to pay for the chemotherapy treatment other than drawing on their life savings and credit.

“I have to make the payment somehow. I have to make the payment to keep my wife alive,” John said.

Under Ontario Drug Benefit coverage, seniors over age 65

pay the first $100 of their prescription costs, then $6.11 per prescription under the government program.

But many drugs are not covered and are shockingly expensive, reported Susan Eng, vice-president of advocacy with CARP. “A lot of drugs are not cov-

ered in the plan and the ones not covered are expensive. In Ontario, people could fall between the cracks,” she said. “Biologics, for example, are very, very expensive.”

Biologic drugs are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, particularly conditions that affect seniors, including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diabetes.

It’s expected the use of biologics among seniors will grow by approximately 20 per cent in the next decade, the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association reports.

News - With life expectancy increasing, seniors must plan for a longer retirement.

The number of centenarians increased 22 per cent between 2001-06 to 4,635. That number is expected to triple by 2031.

To prepare for the influx of seniors the Ontario government is working to provide more home care for seniors, among other initiatives. Minister Responsible for Seniors Affairs Mario Sergio, 73, is also pushing for an increase in CPP and calling on the federal government to help.

“Financially, unless either the province and the feds come on board and find a way to help seniors save more money to retire they are going to be a huge burden on government,” he said. “There is a tsunami coming.”

styles for seniors from living with no assistance to in-home care.

At an average cost of $3,204 per unit per month, it’s an expense that’s well above an entire monthly budget of $2,182 for those living on $26,185 or less per year.

When seniors are no longer able to live on their own or require more intensive care than a live-in caregiver can provide, many opt to move into a long-term care home (LTC). A LTC home provides 24-hour services and care and is often where seniors will live out their life.

Rates at the homes are regulated by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care at $1,707.59 a month for a basic room with subsidies available from the government. Semiprivate or private rooms cost more. In 201112, the median time to be on a wait list for a long-term care room was 98 days.

Fred’s wife, Doris, moved into a private room in a LTC home last December in Bracebridge, Ont. It costs $2,275 a month. Fred lives next-door in subsidized housing at $650 per month plus utilities. Multiple times a day, Fred joins his wife for meals paid for by the home.

How can Fred and Doris afford their care?

Fourteen years ago, the couple who will have been married 55 years in June sold an apartment building they’d owned for a decade for approximately $700,000.

Fred still owns property in Huntsville: “We’ve still got that to sell if need be,” he said.

Across Canada, dental and vision care are major health costs for seniors, together accounting for more than 75 per cent of their health care spending. They also need funds to pay for other professionals such as chiropractors, massage therapists, physiotherapists and podiatrists.

If a senior is retired or works at a job without health insurance benefits, many health costs come directly out-of-pocket.

One option for retirees is to purchase private insurance, but even that is prohibitively expensive.

Blue Cross health insurance coverage for a 65-year-old Ontario man who is a non-smoker costs $85 a month for basic coverage. That monthly fee jumps to $117 for regular coverage and $147 for extended coverage. Basic coverage includes ambulance service, nursing care, dental work and partial payments towards sessions with a registered podiatrist, physiotherapist, massage therapist and chiropractor.

Blue Cross does not cover prescription drugs after age 65 because seniors in this province qualify for the Ontario Drug Benefit.

A dental exam and diagnosis costs $65, according to the Ontario Dental Association’s 2014 fee schedule.

Need dental X-rays? A complete set of 12 images costs $123. Cleaning and polishing your teeth costs a minimum of $55.

If a senior has a crown that needs to be restored, the suggested cost is $685. Root canal therapy begins at $441. Dentures start at $751 for the upper palate and $956 for lower teeth.

Seniors 65 and older pay just under $50 for an eye test.

Should a senior need a chiropractor, massage therapy, physiotherapy or a podiatrist, those costs are not paid by OHIP. Seniors must pay for those services out-of-pocket or through private insurance.

A visit to the chiropractor costs up to $140 for a 40-minute session, the 2014 Ontario Chiropractic Association Fee Schedule suggests.

A detailed exam can cost between $140 and $280.

A massage delivered by a registered massage therapist costs $38 for 15 minutes and $102 for an hour. Seniors 65 and older may be eligible for publicly funded physiotherapy with a doctor’s referral, the Ontario government’s health services branch reports.

A single senior with a yearly net income less than $16,018 or a senior couple whose combined net annual income is less than $24,175 or a senior on Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program, living in long-term care or receiving home care pay no deductible and only $2 per prescription filled.

Ensuring Ontarians have access to drugs they need regardless of cost is one of 169 recommendations contained in a 2012 report entitled “Living Longer, Living Well,” that’s intended to inform a Seniors Strategy for Ontario. “(We) have to start thinking about how to develop fairer and sustainable financing systems that can still allow us to ensure all Ontarians can access the pharmaceutical therapies they need, regardless of their ability to pay for them,” stated the 198-page report by Dr. Samir Sinha, director of geriatrics at Mount Sinai and the University Health Network hospitals.

Ontarians need to consider health care planning in their retirement preparations, advised Bob McGaraughty, a financial security advisor with Freedom 55 Financial in Ottawa.

Plan on retiring on 70 per cent of your pre-retirement earnings, he said.

“Your health is a big issue.

If you’ve got your health, then your costs are stabilized. If your health deteriorates quickly ... that’s a big (cost),” he said. “If you can’t pay for your medicine, then what do you do?” ow Ontarians Then there is the matter of how will afford their care as they age. According to Statistics Canada, the median after-tax income for seniors over the age of 65 in 2010 was $26,185. Besides medical expenses, this money must also cover costs such as housing, food, transportation, social events and communication.

Some 92 per cent of Canadian seniors aged 65 and older live in private dwellings, Statistics Canada’s 2011 Census reported. In doing so, this often requires the added costs of installing accessibility aids or hiring a live-in housekeeper. To minimize costs, some seniors choose to open their home to another person in exchange for light household chores and cheap rent.

Seniors living in subsidized housing pay either 30 per cent of their income (rent geared to income) or 20 per cent below market rent (affordable housing), depending on the housing arrangement. What their maximum income can be and how they apply varies by district and municipality throughout the province.

In Muskoka, seniors applying for a subsidized one-bedroom unit must be living on less than $29,700 per year.

And the cheaper cost comes at a price.

There’s a wait list. In Muskoka it’s three to five years, but in Peel, it’s 20 years. Some areas have senior-only subsidized housing which may reduce the wait time, some do not.

Others choose to spend their golden years in a retirement home. There are 700 such facilities in Ontario, from townhouses to apartments, providing a variety of services and life-

Strep throat knocks Verch to play, dance at local Mother’s Day concert soprano out of concert Arts – One of the Ottawa Valley’s most popular musicians in returning to the area for a Mother’s Day concert.

Internationally renowned fiddler, stepdancer and singer/songwriter April Verch will break away from a tour of the U.S. to play a concert this Sunday, May 11 at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham. “I am so looking forward to getting home to the Ottawa Valley, if only for one night, and performing at ‘home’ as well,� said Verch. The event, a fundraiser for the Anglican Parish of Pakenham, will begin at 2 p.m.

The $25 tickets are available in advance at Nicholson’s, the Pakenham General Store, Darvesh Gas and Grocery (Kinburn), or by calling Sean Watson at 613-624-5069.

The April Verch Band - rounded out by bassist and clawhammer banjo player Cody Walters and guitarist Hayes Griffin, who has a Masters in jazz improv from the New England Conservatory, is an energetic, virtuosic, tradition-celebrating outfit.

The band’s dramatic grand finale involves Verch fiddling and stepdancing, often executing two entirely different intricate rhythmic patterns at once.

Verch, who is in the second decade of her musical career, has won many awards and competition and represented Canada’s fiddling tradition by performing in the opening ceremonies at the

Arts – The appearance by Arnprior soprano Laura Duffy in a Mother’s Day concert in Ottawa has been derailed because of a strep throat.

Duffy was scheduled to perform with The Strings of St John’s at the 2 p.m. concert Sunday, May 11 at the Church of St. John the Evangelist near the corner of Somerset and Elgin in downtown Ottawa.

However, the Arnprior District High School graduate has come down with strep throat and a respiratory infection and cannot proceed.

A replacement soloist, Alexa Wing, will take over for Duffy.

Tickets for the concert are still available in several locations around Arnprior.

2010 Olympic Winter Games. “The accolades are important and noteworthy and special to me,� she says. “But what I think is most impressive to me is that I’ve been doing this full time since 2000. We make a living playing music that we love and it touches other people. “I feel like we’re extremely lucky to do that, but also I work really hard, not just at the music, but at every aspect of our career, to make that happen. That we find a way to make it work, and have had that kind of longevity, that’s impressive to me.�

Verch is getting rave reviews for her ninth album, Bright Like Gold. One review says it “captures a woman who’s fleshed

out her identity and is in full command of her gifts, a woman who’s grown from a prodigy into an enduring artist - one of music’s most unforgiving public transitions - with grace and grit to spare.�

The album features an impressive range of material from the trio. Verch is fluent in folk traditions, the Ottawa Valley ones she was born into as well as the American ones she later discovered. She reinvigorates fiddle tunes like those featured in the Canadian medley ‘Dusty Miller’, ‘Fiddle Fingers’ and ‘Grizzly Bear’ and the Appalachian medley ‘Edward in the Treetop’, ‘Yellow Jacket’ and ‘Quit That Tickling Me’.

There are also originals on the album like her instrumental waltz ‘Morris & Boris’ and country courting number ‘The Only One’.

What makes the latter song even more special is that Bluegrass Hall of Famer Mac Wiseman’s voice is on it, and he’s not the only guest of note. Premier old-time fiddler Bruce Molsky joins Verch for some handsome dual fiddling on ‘Evening Star Waltz’ and bluegrass banjo icon Sammy Shelor appears on ‘Davy Davy’ and ‘Folding Down the Sheets’.

Verch also chose to include ‘No Other Would Do’, the only song her dad’s ever written, on the album.

Give old household items new life Lifestyle - It is easy and fun to rescue all kinds of objects destined for the landfill and modify their purpose for your home. What a great way to renovate, all while being eco-friendly at the same time! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Repurposingâ&#x20AC;? entails standing in front of a feature of your home that you no longer want and asking yourself what else you could do with it.

Finding the answer means truly setting aside its initial purpose; you have to forget about its original form and role in order to give free rein to your imagination. It is a great creative exercise for your brain, one that can give some interesting results.

Here are a few repurposing projects: â&#x20AC;˘ transform a door into a low table â&#x20AC;˘ convert glass bottles into light

fixtures â&#x20AC;˘ turn kitchen utensils into a lamp â&#x20AC;˘ remove the drawers of a dresser to make bookshelves â&#x20AC;˘ dress up a bucket with fabric and decorative ribbons and fill it with flowers â&#x20AC;˘ turn an old chest of drawers into a planter â&#x20AC;˘ create garden furniture with bricks painted in your choice of colour â&#x20AC;˘ transform a workbench into a kitchen work surface There is no shortage of ideas. And if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t succeed at first, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to give it another go â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the more you try, the better youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll become. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discard your old stuff, just repurpose it into something new and useful.

Garden club to find out how CROZIER EXCAVATING It’s Project Time Again! to add a little Zen to the yard We can build retaining walls like the one below,

Lifestyle - Gardeners often think about nourishing the plants they’re growing, but what about gardening that nourishes the soul?

“Imagine sitting in a stunning, peaceful garden, beautifully balanced in its asymmetry, mysterious and intriguing to explore,” says Zen-inspired gardening practitioner Rebecca Cragg.

Cragg is the founder and president of Camellia Teas of Ottawa, where she practises and teaches several traditional Japanese arts.

A licensed practitioner of Ikebana, or flower arranging, Cragg is bringing her expertise to the May meeting of the West Carleton Garden Club.

“I will be introducing five basic principles of Japanese garden design and how to apply them here in our Ottawaarea landscape,” she says.

She’ll look at water features, stones, and garden accessories such as lanterns.

And she’ll offer some practical ideas that can be applied immediately, plus share sources of materials and lists of plants to add a little touch

Imagine sitting in a stunning, peaceful garden, beautifully balanced in its asymmetry, mysterious and intriguing to explore.

REBECCA CRAGG

REBECCA CRAGG of Japan to your garden.

She describes Zenscaping as a style of landscaping that combines aspects or principles of Japanese traditional dry-stone gardening in a secular setting and allows the garden “to nourish your soul and provide you and others with the experience of tranquility.”

Cragg spent seven years teaching English as a second

language in Japan, taking advantage of her time there to master arts as varied as competitive Kimono dressing and brush painting.

She regularly returns to Japan “to enhance and deepen her understanding,” and is finishing her latest trip just days before speaking to the West Carleton club.

She refers to the garden surrounding her home, called Camellia House, as “little Japan” and “a cultural oasis tucked into a quiet neighbourhood in the Mooney’s Bay area,” where she created and executed all of the design and garden work herself.

EMC Business - Whether you are debating a kitchen renovation or dreaming of a spa bathroom; home renovations have a way of changing the way you live.

You may entertain more, turn cooking into a hobby or commit to clutter free living.

Creating spaces that reflect the way we live requires thoughtful planning and professionals we can trust.

The team at Sandy Beach Cabinetry (SBC) has been dedicated to building quality furniture and cabinetry for over 20 years. This commitment to getting it right starts with owner Shawn McLachlin.

McLachlin shunned the process of mass produced cabinetry years ago, in favour of hand built products and a craftsmanship he is proud of.

“I prefer to hand pick the materials and build each piece separately. Our custom made pieces are built to your specifications, in our own workshop. We don’t mass produce our cabinets. Everything is hand built to suit the requirements of the customer and custom finished to ensure a perfect fit,” states McLachlin.

Producing custom furniture

and well-designed home and office space, begin with Sylvie Choquette, the company’s interior designer.

“First I get to know the client, taking the time to listen. Lifestyle, tastes, uses, time, preferences and wish lists all need to be considered,” explains Choquette.

The advantages product knowledge, design elements and alternative solutions a designer can provide ensure a space that distinctly reflects the owner.

“I prefer to hand pick the materials and build each piece separately.”

“We take everything into consideration. Today’s trends tend to be more streamlined, sleek, functional and low maintenance; a reflection of our busy lifestyles. Spending less on cabinetry can allow for up scaled granite countertops; that fit a more moderate budget.”

Providing a personal touch is what Choquette loves about working with a smaller firm.

“SBC has all the advantages of a big company (three dimensional computer drawings) without the long wait and big price.

I have 18 years experience in residential homes design and specialized in ‘healthy homes’, so I like the philosophy here, as well,” she notes.

Craftsmanship and attention to detail are not the only advantages of SBC’s hands on approach.

McLachlin’s personal and professional commitment of preserving the environment means using only environmentally friendly stains and laquers.

“All our products are water based, eliminating the negative effect on the environment,” explains McLachlin.

In addition, the company has low emission, urea formaldehyde free, particle board material available in both melamine and hardwood veneer.

“We are always looking to adapt green products in the building process,” he tells the EMC. Shawn McLachlin can be contacted at 613-623-0576, fax: 613-623-0576 or by email at info@sandybeachcabinetry.com.

News - The Canadian Tulip Festival will celebrate this year with a bang.

The 63rd annual festival begins this Friday, May 9 with fireworks at the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main site at Dowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake. It will be one of the three evenings that the festival organizers have planned to have fireworks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plan is this year we want to preview whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to come,â&#x20AC;? said spokesman Dave Shaw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is to make it a signature part of the festival so that when people think of the festival they think of fireworks.â&#x20AC;?

The goal, Shaw said, is to have fireworks every night during the festival in the future. Fireworks will also take place at Dowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake on May 14 and 17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We plan on it being pretty spectacular,â&#x20AC;? Shaw said.

The tulip festival was established in 1953, years after tulips were being donated from the Netherlands to Canada in 1945, when the Dutch royal family sent 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa as a way of saying thank you for hosting Dutch Princess Juliana and her daughters in exile during the Second World War and for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in the liberation of the Netherlands.

Each year the Netherlands send 20,000 bulbs. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival will take place from May 9 to 19 and while spring has come late this year, Shaw said there will be at least half a million tulips on display during the festival.

Aside from fireworks, there will be music, dance and cuisine attractions, tulip cycling trips, a circus, an international pavilion, swordplay and an art display representing the Afghan Mission.

In recognition and commemoration of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military mission in Afghanistan, May 9 has been declared a National Day of Honour by Royal Proclamation. According to the Department of National Defenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, a national ceremony will occur on Parliament Hill with veterans of all branches of the Canadian Armed Forces and families.

Shaw said the tulip festival will honour veterans by hosting an inviteonly event for veterans and their families on the second floor of Lago Bar and Grill.

The main floor will be open for the public.

New this year, a free hop-on, hopoff shuttle service will be made available from Commissionerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park to Confederation Square, with stops in the Glebe and Little Italy, thanks to both neighbourhoodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; business improvement areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to offer people the chance to see it all,â&#x20AC;? said Glebe BIA director Andrew Peck.

The shuttle will run daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. with extended service, until 11 p.m., because of the fireworks on May 9, 14 and 17.

The Glebe BIA has also ordered 1,000 tulips to be planted along Bank Street.

On Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, May 11, the Glebe will host a Mad Hatter Tea Party from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and crafts and activities will take place at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Bank Street Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day weekend.

Decorating open areas in your home can be easy Lifestyle - Decorating an open area in the home isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy. In fact, harmonizing the different zones can be quite a challenge. Here are a few tips to get you started. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose your style. First of all, choose a style that will be used throughout this open area.

Do you prefer a contemporary, traditional, or country look? If you decide to create an eclectic look by using a mix of styles, you might be setting yourself up for a complicated task; a blend of styles has to be carefully thought out and executed with

caution, or the space will end up looking like a mishmash of disparate objects. â&#x20AC;˘ Create zones. Decide how you want to use your open area and create activity zones by grouping furniture according to its use.

Define the zones by creating visual separations with elements such as rugs, plants, a table, or a sofa. Decorative elements, such as woodwork or mouldings, can also help define a space. â&#x20AC;˘ Decide on a colour scheme. Colour is an important element in any

open area, as it unifies disparate elements to form a whole. Create a sense of harmony by using different tones of one colour.

It goes without saying that this colour has to blend well with the furniture and the flooring. â&#x20AC;˘ Use one type of floor covering.

The flooring has to be chosen with care when decorating an open area.

Ideally, only one type of covering should be used â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wood is always an excellent choice. At floor level, area rugs can be used to define or separate the different zones.

Harmonize when decorating an open area

Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2014 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil. Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essen al to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not inďŹ nite.

A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over me your soil can become nutrient deďŹ cient, compacted or thin which can make it diďŹ&#x192;cult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, pH balanced and has excellent lth, allowing for easy air and water ďŹ&#x201A;ow. Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients.

How can you take a red, dull soil and turn it into a great soil?

This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic ma er. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with exis ng soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.

The ideal me to introduce organic ma er into your growing areas is in the late Fall. This allows the beneďŹ cial microorganisms in your soil more me to become ac ve before gardening season arrives. While in a perfect world we would all earmark some me for soil amending before the frost, for many of us, our ďŹ&#x201A;ower beds are far from priority number one when the cold weather starts to set in.

mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes par cles of diďŹ&#x20AC;erent sizes and shapes. This results in improved airďŹ&#x201A;ow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compac on. The organicbased soil will also provide excellent water reten on; something your plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots will really appreciate.

Not to worry though! Even if you missed the window last Fall, you can s ll get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real diďŹ&#x20AC;erence in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premium Lawn and Garden Soil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.

Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6â&#x20AC;? soil depth (pro p â&#x20AC;&#x201C; top oďŹ&#x20AC; your growing areas with 2â&#x20AC;? of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.). Step two - go get your soil, or be er yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle. Step three - ll or turn over the exis ng soil in your growing areas. Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that easy.

Manderleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soil mix is a 100% natural product consis ng of black earth, organic fer lizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial ac vity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to

Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the ďŹ rst step in reaching your garden goals for 2014. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be amazed at the diďŹ&#x20AC;erence.

Spring is here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start scrubbing To make this big job a little bit easier, just take it one step at a time Lifestyle - At last, spring has sprung. The sun feels so much warmer and soon everything in the yard will be bursting into leaf. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt about that urge youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling: it is indeed time to do some spring cleaning.

Cleaning the house is exhausting work and many of us

try to put it off for as long as we can. And yet, our familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health and our comfort are at stake. â&#x20AC;˘ Before starting in on the cleaning, throw out or give away any objects that you no longer use. This goes for clothing as well. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an easy chore, but your closets

will thank you for it, as will the community organizations in your area who inherit your donations. â&#x20AC;˘ Next comes the washing.

Drapes, rugs, bedspreads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; be sure not to forget anything.

Some fabrics need to be dry cleaned, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to entrust them to the pros. And

for carpets, you can bring in a carpet cleaning service or rent a carpet cleaning machine at the grocery store or hardware store. â&#x20AC;˘ And now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for some good old-fashioned elbow grease. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the windows, cupboards, walls, or ceilings, every square inch of the house should be scrubbed spotless. Getting everything clean will help you eliminate the dust and allergens in the air. Once that part of the job is finished, you can tackle the bedrooms, where the mattresses should be turned and vacuumed. Before putting the sheets on, slip a fabric softener sheet under the mattress cover for a lasting fragrance.

Of course there is another solution if the thought of doing all that work leaves you feeling discouraged: call in a cleaning company. Housekeeping services are fast, efficient, and surprisingly affordable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth looking into.

How to revamp your kitchen for functionality

0508.R0012671579

Lifestyle - Kitchens are the heart of the home; they are where we prepare our meals, sit down to eat together, and entertain family and friends.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to have a functional kitchen, one that reflects our tastes as well as the latest trends in interior design.

Unfortunately, a complete kitchen makeover means turning that room into a major construction site. So how can you realize your dream of a kitchen renovation without demolishing everything? Here are a few solutions for brightening up your kitchen, quickly and easily. â&#x20AC;˘ Replace the cabinet hardware: simply replac-

ing your old handles with a more up-to-date style can change the look of the cabinets at very little cost. â&#x20AC;˘ Change the faucets: exchange your leaky old taps for a new mixer faucet. Single-hole, professional style faucets are still in all the showrooms.

Choose a good quality model, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be putting it to a lot of use. â&#x20AC;˘ Install a backsplash: installing a ceramic tile, molten glass, metal, or decorative stone backsplash changes the look of any kitchen in the blink of an eye. This is a project that can be completed quickly but with astonishing effect; your kitchen

will be brought up to date in a flash! â&#x20AC;˘ Replace the lights: lights play a key role in any functional kitchen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing worse than a poorly lit work surface. A good choice is to opt for adjustable spotlights, which can be directed where you most need them, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s towards the counter, the stove, or the sink. Pendant lights over the dining table are also an important feature. Choose a model that will add some wow factor to your new kitchen. â&#x20AC;˘ Transform cabinet doors: you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to rip out your old cupboards and replace them with new ones to transform the look of your kitchen. You could just replace the doors if the casings are still in a good state of repair. And if the doors are also in good repair, you could keep them and just have them refaced. That means having the doors and all visible surfaces recovered with a wood veneer or other material.

This solution is very practical, as the refacing is done in a factory and your kitchen will remain pristine and functional throughout the renovation work. Another advantage of refacing is that it will save you a lot of money. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to prevent you from adding a glass door or shaker style mouldings, which can also transform the look of your kitchen cabinets.

Lastly, if you have old, solid wood cabinets (probably in non-standard sizes), the best solution is to simply paint them. Your choice of colour and finish are virtually limitless. â&#x20AC;˘ Paint the walls: painting is always a great solution for transforming your kitchen, and it involves very little cost. Choose light tones that reflect the light and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll turn your kitchen into a place where the whole family will want to spend time together.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have a functional kitchen, one that reflects your tastes as well as the latest trends in interior design.

Lifestyle - Decorative bricks (or faux bricks) are more affordable than regular bricks and are gaining in popularity as a decorative element for homes.

And best of all, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a qualified stone mason in order to lay them.

Decorative bricks are usually laid on plywood or plasterboard. Clean the underlying surface thoroughly and apply a primer if necessary. In some cases, the addition of a layer of wire mesh may be necessary. It goes without saying that the wall surface or floor should be level before you begin work.

CHECK YOUR WORK

Spread the glue with a notched trowel over one small area at a time, starting at the bottom of the wall. Place the bricks, leaving an equal space between each of them and ensuring that the joints are offset from one row to the next.

Check frequently to ensure that the row of bricks is level.

Use a miter saw fitted with a ceramic blade for cutting the bricks at the end of the rows. Recuperate the remnants to start a new row.

Brick corners, used to cover the corners of three dimensional objects, such as those on a mantelpiece, are also available on the market.

Now all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left to do is to fill the joints with mortar according to the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions.

Does your bathroom need a facelift?

AGRICULTURAL

COMMERCIAL

Lifestyle - Over the years, bathrooms have evolved in order to accommodate all those hurried morning showers, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bath times, and the few moments of relaxation that are such a treat after a hard day at work.

And because your bathroom may also act as a laundry room and linen closet, it may be useful to consider enlarging or renovating it.

If you have the budget and the time, you might want to envisage a complete remodel, where everything is demolished and you start from zero.

Alternatively, you might want to consider a more modest project, where you keep the original position of the bathroom fittings and update the faucets, install a heated floor, and add a few extra cabinets or shelves.

Many people take advantage of a complete remodel to enlarge the existing bathroom by adding part of an adjacent room.

Water consumption should be taken into consideration when choosing bathroom fittings, as well as the comfort of the seat and height of the toilet. Do you prefer the standard height of between 35 and 38 cm, or the â&#x20AC;&#x153;comfortâ&#x20AC;? height, which is between 40 and 43 cm?

The latter is ideal for tall people and those with back or leg problems. When shopping for faucets, opt for good quality hardware with a chrome or stainless steel finish.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to incorporate the very latest in bathroom designs, keep in mind that recessed lighting is in style. As well as being more dis-

Lifestyle - Maximizing natural light when building or renovating a home has many advantages. Not only is natural light better for us but it also reduces the need for energyconsuming artificial lighting.

Because Canadians spend much of the winter inside, exposure to good quality lighting is an important factor in keeping healthy.

Variations in light affect hormone levels and biological cycles; scientific studies even show that adequate natural lighting at work can increase productivity and reduce absenteeism. Natural light also increases energy levels.

When building or renovating, keep in mind that the intensity and distribution of natural light in a room depends on the dimensions of the space, the materials composing the internal surfaces, as well as its location, orientation, and the quality of the windows.

Optimizing natural light â&#x20AC;˘ Several smaller windows are better than one large window, which causes more glare. â&#x20AC;˘ The positioning of windows on several walls ensures better light distribution. â&#x20AC;˘ High windows allow light to reach further into the home.

SPRING SALE 10% - 50% off ALL REGULAR MERCHANDISE

â&#x20AC;˘ Windows in a horizontal line distribute daylight better than round or square windows, as the latter create a strong contrast between the window and the wall. â&#x20AC;˘ Large areas of dark colour should be avoided or situated away from windows, as they inhibit daylight from penetrating and cause glare when they

Lifestyle - Faucets can make all the difference in giving a perfect finishing touch to a new basin, bath or kitchen sink. Available in a huge variety of styles, colours, and materials, modern faucets also offer some interesting options for those who want to combine style with practicality.

Modern bathrooms and kitchens use mixer taps, meaning the hot and cold water are mixed before leaving the spout. They are available in various heights and styles but always have a spout with one or two handles.

The base can be square, rectangular, or circular with clean-cut lines. Centerset faucets are the most common and are made to be installed in a single hole in the sink. These faucets have a base that typically requires making only one hole in the sink and come with two separate taps and a spout mounted on a single deck plate. There is a wide range of styles and finishes to suit every taste, including many with elaborate details.

These days, it is increasingly common to find what is called widespread bathtub faucets, where the taps for hot and cold water, as well as the spout, are separate entities. This type of installation requires three holes in the bath but allows consumers more choice, as the faucets and the spout can be chosen separately. The most modern faucet technology also includes temperature sensors, integrated filters and lights, as well as touch controls.

Fake beams can provide authentic character Lifestyle - If you have them, you might not know what to do with them, and if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have them, you might wish you did.

If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done right, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing quite like exposed beams to enhance the cachet of a room. Would you love to incorporate this architectural feature in your home but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the grandiose budget to match?

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the solution.

STEP-BY-STEP

The first step in making a false beam is to cut three strips of MDF of the same width; typically, they range from 15 to 20 cm. Next, glue and nail them on 5-by-7 cm wood uprights. The goal is to build a three-sided box, the fourth side being the ceiling.

Now all you have to do is paint or stain the beams according to the look you want to give the room: pale, dark, or natural. It is possible to give your beams the look of natural wood by creating a grain with a woodgraining tool or rocker. MDF with a wood grain finish is also available in stores.

The addition of false beams should be done sparingly in order not to give the room a heavy look.

Of course, the ceiling should also be high enough to lend itself to this imposing architectural style.

styrene, they are much more affordable than a solid wood beam. Even better, you can create a false beam at a fraction of the price by using MDF (fibreboard) panels.

May 14th is Children and Youth in Care Day On March 25th 2014, Honourable David Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, granted royal assent to Bill 53, An Act to Proclaim Children and Youth in Care Day. This day brings attention to the enormous contributions that children and youth in and leaving care make to the province, as well as the strength, bravery and resilience they demonstrate in the face of adversity.

This is our opportunity to raise awareness about children and youth in care and to recommit to supporting them and helping them reach their full potential.

Cutting the ribbon, from left, are CNR Repairs owner Courtney Smith; Brandi Wasmund of Castleford Excavating and Springtown Mechanical with daughter Hailey Scheel; Castleford Excavating and Springtown Mechanical owner Corey Scheel, Horton Township Mayor Don Eady, Castleford Excavating employee Peter Leavoy, and CAO/Clerk of Horton Mackie McLaren.

Castleford Excavating holds grand opening at new River Road location Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

This month, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) is celebrating the strength and resilience of approximately 600 children and youth in care. CASO becomes involved with families in the community when there may be a concern that a child or youth is at risk of abuse or neglect. Though 90% of the time children and youth remain within their family home, there are circumstances that may prevent this. Situations may warrant that a child or youth be removed from their home for a short period of time until the environment is improved, some remain in care on an extended basis, and still others are adopted into new families. While their life paths are different than those of their peers, they face many of the same hurdles and challenges, and share the same hopes and dreams. The strength they have developed is admirable.

News - Castleford Excavating has opened up a new multi-service location west of Arnprior.

Located at 3270 River Rd. across from the old Castleford Store, the company, which has been operating since 2005, provides several services to its customers, said Brandi Wasmund of Castleford Excavating and Springtown Mechanical.

They include all projects from retaining walls to new home construction, septic repair and installation, winter maintenance, including snow and ice removal, parking lot sweeping, equipment rentals, and the sale of

Another tournament, another bridge to success Kris Winston

Lifestyle - The Arnprior Duplicate Bridge Club aced hosting its fifth annual tournament last month.

The event, held for the second year at the Arnprior Golf Club, overflowed to cover two floors over three days of competitive bridge sessions and educational workshops.

“We were delighted with the number of participants,” said tournament organizer and bridge club senior director Wayne Dazé.

“This year we welcomed almost 1,000 players - an increase of more than 20 per cent over last year. It’s also great to see so many familiar faces as players come back year after year.”

The tournament, last year characterized as “the best sectional in North America,” by Bill Wheeler, head of the region’s bridge organizations, attracts visitors from New York state, Toronto, Montreal and Kingston, as well as from all parts of Ottawa, Gatineau and the Ottawa Valley.

“There is no doubt that this is a special tournament with a unique atmosphere,” said Arnprior Duplicate Bridge Club member Phillippa Baran.“We focus on giving people a big welcome. Our tournament is not just about winning points. It’s also about good company, good food and great prizes.”

The entire community is involved, emphasizes Dazé, pointing out that more than 240 businesses in Arn-

prior, Almonte, Pakenham and Renfrew, as well as a number of Ottawa companies and theatres, supported the tournament by donating cash and prizes totalling more than $15,000.

It is also important to note that the Arnprior Duplicate Bridge Club gives back to the community through supporting many local organizations including the library and the Civic Centre as well as charities such as the food bank, the Renfrew hospice and area animal shelters.

Plans are already underway for next year’s Sectional Tournament, which will once more be held at the Arnprior Golf Club in April.

For more information, visit the website at priorbridgeclub.ca or call Daze at 613-623-2131.

Dancing queens Dancers from the Arnprior School of Dance entertain at the Arnprior Villa. Three groups of students visited the retirement centre last week to dance. The school holds its annual spring recitals this Saturday, May 10 at 10:30 a.m. and 1, 3:30 and 6 p.m. at Arnprior District High School.
