News – Arnprior’s latest service agreements offer to McNab-Braeside is a $104,000 reduction over three years. Mayor David Reid at Monday’s council meeting fulfilled a promise to review the numbers annually when it comes to township users of the library and Nick Smith Centre. The last signed agreement, in 2013, had the township pay $237,000 that year. The current offer is sweetened thanks to a population increase in Arnprior from 8,100 to 8,700; the delayed phase-in of the deal if a new agreement is reached; and the updated town financial statements. There hasn’t been an agreement in place since the township walked away from negotiations last year. Mayor Mary Campbell and the majority of McNab-Braeside councillors said the agreements offer is too expensive for some township residents and isn’t based on transparent usage numbers.

On affordability, each township resident would pay just under $21 this year for recreation and just under $13 for library use per capita. The amount would climb up going forward. Town residents pay $105 and $41 per capita, respectively, and would trend downward in future. Reid admits the number of users isn’t exact, but that given the nature of running a recreation complex with numerous services and programs, exact calculations are impossible. “At the end of the day we are as open and transparent as we can. Everything is factual,” he said. “We try the best we can but it’s not a perfect science.” He maintains it is a good deal, that it is roughly on par with nearby municipalities like Beckwith, Perth, and Laurentian who also purchase services. And that Arnprior residents will still pay 400 per cent more for recreation and 150 per cent more for the library than do McNabBraeside residents, he says. See NEW DEAL Page 3

News – The numbers are in and it looks like McNab-Braeside ratepayers will face a 2.7 per cent bottom line property tax increase this year. Substantial investments in the fire

department and maintaining about $162,000 for recreation programming and facility enhancements are included in the proposed budget. Township treasurer Angela Lochtie presented the updated draft budget to council May 6. “Based on this draft budget informa-

tion, the overall tax rate increase - inclusive of township, county and school - to McNab-Braeside property owners is 2.7 per cent or $26.33 per $100,000 of assessment,” said Lochtie. The municipal garbage levy is also increasing, reports Lochtie. Residential properties will see a $20

increase in 2014. A township press release says the township tax levy (revenue collected through taxes) is rising from the $3,245,372 in the 2013 budget to $3,707,610, an increase of $462,238. See FIRE Page 3

Fire, police, road, recreation expenditures on rise in budget

New deal ‘important’ for all sides Continued from front

2013 to address increases in other service areas, including recreation. Price increases for energy and policing, money to pay for the upcoming Ontario Municipal Board hearing scheduled for March 2015 and an investment in physician recruitment are other drivers behind the increase, say the township. Mayor Mary Campbell congratulated the treasurer, a new member of the township staff, on the draft. “Really well done Angie,� she said. NOTES

A breakdown of the reasons behind the increase: fire department capital spending ($152,527 increase) and staff reorganization ($53,760); planning for the OMB hearing ($80,000); roads resurfacing ($70,000); policing ($26,598); physician recruitment ($25,000), energy price increases excluding landfill ($23,919), equipment repair cost increases excluding landfill ($15,957) and other increases including an energy audit and parking bylaw

enforcement ($14,478). Council has opted to go with the recreation committee’s recommendation that $162,600 be budgeted for recreation programming and facility enhancements. That figure currently includes Red Pine Bay boat launch dredging ($20,000) and $7,000 for new programs. Following the adoption of the budget, the line associated to the dredging will be moved from recreation to public works. For the purposes of reporting, say officials, the item must remain as a recreation activity. Staff will develop a formal policy for reporting in-kind donations. The recording of in-kind donations has both accounting policy/audit implications and practical, administrative considerations. Implementing the change will have a zero bottom-line impact on the overall budget.

R0032525669

With the net real property assessment growth taken into consideration, this levy change represents an increase of 13.57 per cent. Reductions in the Renfrew county and school board levies have helped balance off the considerable municipal increase. Included in the rise are key expenditures in the fire department, an essential service, explain township officials. Breathing apparatus for firefighters as well as replacement of an aging pumper are among the investments. Also, the fire department has reorganized in 2014 to provide an improved level of service to residents. Gravel resurfacing has been added back into the budget, after being cut in

News - A preliminary hearing for the Arnprior man charged in the stabbing death of Brodie Armstrong has been scheduled for Sept. 29. Seven days has been set aside for the hearing to determine if Jesse Gervais should stand trial for the death on June 12, 2013 of Armstrong in Arnprior. The 23-year-old Gervais has been in custody since being arrested in Sault Ste. Marie two days after the stabbing. Gervais made a brief appearance in Pembroke provincial May 6 when the preliminary hearing date was set. It will be held in Renfrew.

PASSING

Council will consider passing a bylaw to adopt the 2014 operating and capital budgets at its next regular meeting Tuesday, May 20 at 7 p.m. at the township council chambers.

News – Contrary to an implication in last week’s Chronicle-Guide story, ‘Teen Cyclist Asked To Pay For Truck Damages’, local lawyer Nancy Donnelly was not a witness to the collision between a pickup and a boy on a bicycle.

McNab-Braeside residents would not be expected to chip in for capital expenditures, contribute to the $90,000 youth programs, or see an annual increase of more than one per cent to account for inflation. “We want to try and get an agreement done,� Reid said. “It’s important not only for their residents but our residents and all the users. It has an impact on everybody.� The agreement would start July 1. Coun. Dan Lynch was worried that if the township doesn’t go for it there would be no open offer on the table after that date. First time and experienced “It looks like we are putting a gun buyers are welcome! to their head,� Lynch said. Reid called it a “soft deadline� that rd would go into place at any moment, but that July 1 is a deadline that works Doors open at 6pm best for Nick Smith Centre’s financial and we will get started at 6:30pm calendar.

Half-mast flags, two minutes of silence honour Afghan vets Day of Honour also celebrates strength of military families News - Arnprior joined the nation-wide Day of Honour last Friday by saluting Canadians who were killed and wounded in the Afghanistan conflict. Flags were lowered to half-mast during ceremonies at both Arnprior Town Hall and the Stanley Tourangeau Fire/Police Services Centre. As well as remembering the dead the wounded, the Day of Honour was a tribute to all veterans and a celebration of the strength of military families. Proclaimed by the federal government, it marked the end of Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan. Arnprior veteran Wayne Pickering, who happened to be in the vicinity of the fire

hall when the ceremony took place at 1:30 p.m., joined OPP and Arnprior fire department representatives in taking in the flag lowering and observing two minutes of silence. The ceremony had special meaning for Pickering, a retired Lieutenant Colonel who spent 38 years in the Canadian Army. While he didn’t serve in Afghanistan, his nephew and a number of friends did. And one of his son’s friends didn’t come back alive, he noted. Arnprior fire chief John Okum emceed the ceremony at the fire hall/police station, noting that it is important to remember those who served

the country so well in Afghanistan. He said that ceremonies across the country on May 9 gave Canadians the opportunity to reflect upon the sacrifices made during the mission. Among the other events in the region were a ceremony at CFB Petawawa and a parade and tribute in Ottawa. After the flag ceremony for the veterans, the OPP also lowered a flag to half mast to mourn the death of Thunder Bay OPP Const. Joe Prevett. The 50-year-old officer went into medical distress and died during a K-9 training session in Gravenhurst May 7.

There was also a lowering of the flag to half mast and two minutes of silence at Arnprior Town Hall.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

Arnprior man nominated to take on Yakabuski

Tradesman carries NDP torch again Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Arnprior continues with its recent tradition of supplying an NDP candidate for provincial and federal elections. Last decade it was Eric Burton carrying the New Democratic torch. For the 2011 and 2014 provincial elections it is Brian Dougherty. Dougherty, a licensed electrician and soon-to-be plumber, married Arnprior’s Kimberly Conroy and has lived in her hometown for six years. (They have two daughters: Samantha, 10, and Sydney, 6.) Born and raised in Mississauga, he was never a fan of big cities and so moved to Timmins to attend college. The couple moved to Calgary for 10 years where Dougherty worked at a treatment centre and homeless shelter. But it was in Northern Ontario that politics took hold of him in earnest. It is there he met the area’s MPP Gilles Bisson and former NDP leader Howard Hampton. The young man was growing increasing frustrated with the right’s turn away from Red Tory aspirations that

held a progressive element to embracing the more controversial policies of Mike Harris. He admired Hampton’s appeal to lower middle class voters. But he was especially taken by Bisson’s constituency work. “Just how he interacted with his constituents. There’s a wide variety of people in that riding and he did an incredible job of serving them,” Dougherty said. Asked what the New Democrats have to do to win the June 12 election, Dougherty was blunt: money; that and a shift in the discourse toward a fair treatment of where the left stands these days. “I got called a communist the other day. I mean, come on. We don’t even have the word socialist (in our literature) anymore,” he said. “We are a party who stands up for people who need it. Everyone else says they want to help, but no one does.” One way to do that, he said, is to implement the Investment Tax Credit plan. It will reward manufacturers that invest in buildings, machinery and equipment in Ontario. Dougherty is keen to point to another campaign promise. The Job Creation Tax Credit is designed to help

BRIAN DOUGHERTY companies that are ready to invest in training local workers and equipment. Unlike Liberal and PC ideas, the NDP isn’t offering a no-strings attached offer to business. “If you create a job, you get a tax break,” he said. “If you don’t create a job, you don’t get the tax break. That simple.” Dougherty was officially acclaimed the NDP’s candidate in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke at a nomination meeting last Friday at the Steelworkers Hall in Renfrew.

News - Rod Boileau of Arnprior was nominated Monday to represent the Liberals in the June 12 provincial election in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. In a news release Tuesday announcing Boileau’s candidacy, the Liberal party said that over the past 20 years he has been working in various high tech firms and “has progressively gained experience in leadership roles.” It goes on to say that Boileau also dedicates hiimself to helping others through community service and is an active volunteer with Scouts Canada as the group commissioner for 2nd Arnprior Scouting. “I’m running to help elect Kathleen Wynne because Tim Hudak only wants to cut jobs in the Ottawa Valley,” said Boileau. “We need to help expand our hospitals and give our kids more resources in schools, not fire early childhood educators in all-day kindergarten and give hospital staff pink slips. “I want higher paying jobs in the Valley. We need to put the infrastructure in place so we don’t have to commute to Ottawa for jobs. We need to get those jobs here throughout the Valley and we

ROD BOILEAU need safe roads from one end to the other,” he said. “We don’t need job cuts in our communities. We need investment, and that’s why I’m running as the Liberal candidate in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke.” Boileau is up against incumbent MPP John Yakabuski of the Progressive Conservatives and Brian Dougherty of the NDP.

EDITORIAL

Retirement is your social responsibility Sha-la-la-la-la-la/Live for today And don’t worry/‘bout tomorrow Hey, hey, hey If you’re old enough to remember that 1967 song by The Grassroots, and lived by its ideals, there’s a good chance that you’re now neck deep in your own personal retirement crisis. For a host of reasons, the majority of Baby Boomers failed to plan adequately for their retirement. Just to make ends meet, many seniors are now working well past the traditional retirement age of 65. Across Canada, the median senior exists on far less than $30,000 a year. It’s even more troubling that the next generation of Ontarians can’t get past today’s financial obligations to set a little aside for a secure tomorrow. They’re spending their so-called ‘extra’ cash paying off student loans or paying for child care or looking after their parents. There simply is no extra money for a nest egg. Sadly, more than 30 per cent of Gen Xers say they’re counting on a lottery win to stay afloat financially in their golden years. Because so many more of us are living well past 65, retirement in Ontario is about to explode into a full-scale financial crisis. Almost 1.3 million Ontario workers have no workplace pension. Almost all of Ontario’s new jobs are being created by small businesses that don’t offer a pension plan for employees. At the same time, many Ontarians just aren’t saving for retirement. Experts say you will need 50-70 per cent of your pre-retirement income to maintain your standard of living in retirement - but many Ontarians can’t or won’t meet this target. As a result, they’ll have to keep working well into their so-called golden years. The bigger cause for concern, though, is that we’re sticking our collective heads in the sand and pretending it isn’t happening. Employers and workers must be encouraged to take responsibility for their financial futures. Government and business agree that fixing Ontario’s pension problem is a priority. But to do that, the system has to change. Susan Eng of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) is calling on Ontario to make workplace pension plans mandatory. She’s spot on and we couldn’t agree more. It also should be mandatory for working

Ontarians aged 16 and older to have a pension plan. The business community overwhelmingly favours the introduction of PRPPs to Ontario workplaces and we think that’s the right way to go. Both employers and the employees contribute to a pooled retirement plan and it’s managed by independent financial professionals. Those PRPPs need to be portable. They should follow a working Ontarian from job to job. And Ontarians need to start asking prospective employers about their pension plan and making it a high priority when they’re considering a job offer: Companies would then need to offer attractive pension plans to attract the brightest, most talented young people. Small business owners are concerned that a mandatory pension responsibility will prevent them from growing and creating jobs. And we hear them. Any new legislation making pension plans mandatory should allow for a phase-in period of five years for businesses with three or fewer employees. Inadequate financial preparedness should be socially taboo, as smoking and drunk driving are now. We need our young people to buy into the idea that we all need to care about retirement planning, much the way we all recycle for the good of the planet. Changing the culture starts with education: Schools need to start teaching financial literacy in Grade 7, before young people take on their first part-time jobs. Financial planning courses should be incorporated into Ontario’s high school curriculum and successful completion of those courses should be required for a diploma. Finally, it’s time the provincial government steps up to protect the pensions of hard-working Ontarians. Most Ontario employers contribute to a fund that insures the first $1,000 of an employee’s monthly pension in case the company goes bankrupt. That’s something, but it’s not good enough. They say that in life, the only sure things are death and taxes. But Ontarians should be able to count on a healthy pension after a lifetime of working hard and contributing to society.

Visiting dog lost, found in abandoned well To the Editor: Tootsie’s stay in the country nearly ended tragically. The city dog was lost for eight hours Tuesday (May 6) after she fell down an abandoned well off a bush road. But she was rescued Tuesday thanks to the help of our country neighbours. Every morning for a month, my daughter’s pet, an eight-year-old black Lab, joined our daily walking group of five dogs and seven humans along a 3.5-km stretch of road. Our dogs go off leash on this isolated road, darting in and out of the woods. Happily wagging her tail, Tootsie usually tries to follow our collie, Piper. But she disappeared when Piper came out of dense section up from the beaver dam and pond. No matter how much we whistled and called, we had no luck. We retraced our footsteps and then drove the car up and down the road. Our neighbours Tim and Ruth McHugh got their ATVs to search the off-road trails.

Four hours later, we contacted Valley Heritage Radio whose announcer alerted listeners to watch for our missing dog on the air; we called all the neighbours, the Animal Shelter, the Humane Society, and anyone who would listen! Several neighbours suggested leaving an item of clothing at the last spot we saw her since a dog may backtrack and stay with the piece of clothing with our scent. Again, no luck. I prepared my daughter for possible bad news. None of us would give up, even eight hours later as Tim and Ruth joined us for another off-road search where we last saw her. Suddenly Kurt and Ruth thought they heard a bark and a whine. Following the sound through thickets, we found Tootsie staring up at us from an abandoned well. She was standing on a ledge (about 5 feet from the top), up to her chest in water, just 20 feet off the road.

Bedraggled Tootsie pulled from well Continued from Page 8

Tootsie the dog was rescued from an abandoned well in the Spruce Hedge area near Burnstown last week. It was later determined that the old well once belonged to the old school house that was moved to Springtown. It took eight hours to find her as the hole was camouflaged by a fallen tree. Tootsie has no lingering injuries, other than a cut above her eye and all her nails are ground down to the quick from trying to get out.

The well had concrete walls, was deep and filled with water, to the ledge. The opening was about four feet square and was well camouflaged with an old tree trunk covering part of it! She looked sooo sad – like a drowned rat. The two guys got on their bellies, lifted her front and backside out to safety - Tootsie wobbled to the car. The vet has confirmed that Tootsie had no major injuries – a bump on her head, some of her nails were worn down to the quick from trying to escape. She is one lucky dog! We are eternally grateful to Tim and Ruth for being the determined neighbours that they are. What an adventure!

News - The Renfrew County council has ratified a new collective agreement with the area’s paramedics. The county’s of negotiating team advised council that it was able to reach an agreement with the county’s emergency services employees who were represented by CUPE, Local 4698. Union members have also ratified the agreement. The new two-year collective agreement that runs to December 2015 includes a wage increase of 1.5 per cent in 2014, and 1.75 per cent in 2015. This brings the agreement in-line with recent deals made with the employees of long term care homes in the county. Additionally, other items that saw some change were enhancements to the vision benefit coverage, footwear allowance, a slight increase to the shift premium allowance, and the addition of major restorative dental co-insurance premium sharing. There were modifications to the language surrounding staffing and scheduling included as well. County Warden Peter Emon thanked the negotiating team for its efforts in the negotiations on behalf of county council. “We feel it was a fair and equitable negotiation that ended with a successful agreement,� he said. “Our paramedics provide an important service for all our communities, and we respect and appreciate the work they do as well as their partnership.� “I’m pleased to see that the agreement was reached quickly and in a way that shines as an example of working together to a mutually beneficial end,� said the county’s director of emergency services, Michael Nolan.

Rare encounter with a Timberdoodle Lifestyle - Many birds are easy to see. American Robins run across lawns and American Goldfinches aerially bound from tree to tree. However, when on their nest, cryptic behaviour and concealment make those birds very difficult to find. Some birds are hard to see all of the time. When Brown Creepers hug tree trunks, they become living bark. Even more difficult to see are American Woodcocks, whose mottled patterns perfectly match the dead leaves on which they rest.

Unlike woodcocks, however, snipes have striped heads and commonly sit on fence posts. Recently I was walking along a road that meandered through a shrubby field and glanced behind to see a woodcock crossing the road. When they walk, woodcocks rock back and forth, putting their weight on the most forward foot. This peculiar movement has been suggested to send vibrations into the ground that make earthworms come to the surface.

An American Woodcock’s patterns perfectly match dead leaves on the ground. though I was likely within mere metres of where the bird left the road, I couldn’t see it. With their perfect camouflage, as long as they don’t move, woodcocks are invisible. But then to my delight I spotted not the woodcock but its nest containing four large, patterned eggs! More scrutiny eventually turned up the woodcock sitting motionless mere feet from its nest. Not wanting to keep it off its eggs, I snapped a couple of quick photos and left.

woodcock was sitting on her nest, her camouflage rendering her invisible to the rest of the world. In spring, male woodcocks perform remarkable courtship displays at dawn and dusk. When they rise from the ground – their resting site announced by repeated “beeps” or “peents” - their outer wing feathers twitter and they utter high-pitched chirps. They spiral up high into the sky, then fall back down like drifting leaves, a feature that likely gave rise to the moni-

ker: “timberdoodle.” Females choose the best performers, who father most of the young in their neighbourhood. Aldo Leopold eloquently described the woodcock’s display as: “such dawn and dusk sky dances” are a living “refutation of the theory that the utility of a game bird is to serve as a target, or to pose gracefully on a slice of toast.” The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

John XXIII Grade 6 student Macey Hanniman shows off her moulded lion face during the school’s artfest May 7 during Ontario Catholic Education Week. Her ‘lion’, called “cool� by passers-by, is flanked by Chyanna Belaire’s ‘amazing penguin’ and Trinity Berube’s ‘parrot paloza’. The students of Jacqueline Ryan’s class took a plaster of Paris mould of each of their faces and then designed and painted them in the image of a creature that inspired them. The moulds also came with a crossword puzzle that provided facts about the subject. The masks were among the many art works on display at the school for the artfest. Next up for John XXIII is its annual Mayfest today (Thursday) from 5 to 7 p.m. at the school.

Arnprior Farmers’ Market set Arnprior mall to celebrate to open May 17 at fairgrounds long weekend Saturday News – Another season of fresh produce, local products and friendly smiles are to get underway this Saturday, May 17 at the Arnprior Farmers’ Market. The market will be located at 10 Galvin St., the Agricultural Society’s Fairgrounds next to the Curling Club. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Saturday starting this weekend and through to Oct 11. It provides a great opportunity for the community to support the local economy while benefiting from fresh local products. The Farmers’ Market has a new approach this year under the stewardship of the Arnprior Agricultural Society. It

features a new website, new logo, brochures and a series of events to run in conjunction with the market. Radio station 107.7 MyFM Arnprior has provided a generous sponsorship to assist the market in getting the word out to the public. Market organizers are pleased to report a good number of vendors have already signed up and will be in place for opening day. Among the several vendors already known to the marketgoers include Glen Dochart Farm (Mary Campbell) with her selection of naturally raised grass-fed beef, Scottish baking, marmalade and jellies and Chridomar Gardens & Tasty Treats with a selection

of locally grown fruits, vegetables and herbs in season, pesticide/chemical-free, jams, relishes, salsas, pestos and sweet treats. In addition to the market, the Arnprior Agricultural Society will host at the fairgrounds a community garage sale on May 31 and a truck and tractor pull and dance on June 21. This Saturday, rain or shine, will be just the first of what will be interesting times for the new-look market. Watch for updates on seasonal items and ongoing special events on the website www.ArnpriorMarket.com, the market’s Facebook page and follow it on Twitter at Arnprior Market.

Events – The Arnprior Shopping Centre continues its series of special events with a sidewalk and craft sale on the Victoria Day long weekend.

have a carnival atmosphere with live entertainment from some talented local musicians. There will also be displays by Arnprior area artists.

Community – With the Victoria Day weekend approaching, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is asking people to pause and remember to make safety a priority when near the water. While all waterways should be treated with respect, people should use extra care when near lakes and rivers that have dams and hydroelectric generating stations. Hydroelectric facilities are often remotely controlled to generate electricity as needed. This causes frequent and rapid changes in the water ow and levels, often creating strong undertows, turbulence and sudden, powerful surges of water moving downstream in what was once calm looking surface water. “Our safety message is simple: Stay Clear. Stay Safe. That is true year round,â€? said Mike Martelli, OPG’s senior vice-president of Hydro Thermal Operations. “Obey all signs, booms, buoys and fences – they are there for your protection.â€? To learn more about safety around dams and hydroelectric stations, visit www.stayclearstaysafe.ca.

ATV, motorcycle crashes worry OPP News – The OPP is reporting that off-road vehicle (ORV) deaths have reached a four-year high and the causal factors, especially the decision not to wear helmets, have the OPP concerned heading into the Victoria Day long weekend. Twenty people died in ORV incidents in OPP jurisdiction during 2013, compared to 12 in 2012, 14 in 2011 and 17 in 2010. Of the 20 fatalities in 2013, 13 of them were attributed to lack of helmet use and nine of them involved alcohol consumption. The alarming statistics have the OPP warning ORV riders who include alcohol and exclude helmets as part of their riding activity to curb these deadly behaviours before these leading causes of ORV deaths continue on an upward trend. The OPP is also asking the public to partner with them to reduce the rising number of ORV fatalities. OfďŹ cers are calling on the family members and friends of ORV enthusiasts to urge their loved ones to wear a helmet and drive sober. “Over the past 10 years (2004-2013), a total of 263 people have died in ORV incidents within OPP jurisdiction,â€? said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair. “Imagine how much more devastating losing a family member or friend would be if you knew they were impaired or not wearing a helmet and you

didn’t intervene to save their life.� Motorcycle deaths are another OPP statistic that is on the rise. A total of 28 motorcyclists died (in OPP jurisdiction) in 2013, compared to 26 in 2012 and 21 in 2011. Impaired, aggressive and distracted driving are all common contributing factors in motor-

cycle crashes investigated by the OPP. Sadly, in some cases, the riders were not doing anything wrong when the collision occurred. “Among the most tragic of the 26 motorcycle fatalities last year are the 11 in which the motorcyclist was driving properly at the time of the collision,� said OPP Chief Superintendent Don Bell. “Far too often, our collision reconstruction investigations reveal that the actions of another driver were a causal factor. This makes motorcycle safety an is-

sue to which all road users need to pay close attention.â€? Motorcyclists are more vulnerable than other road users because motorcycles are tougher to see than other vehicles and they provide virtually no protection in the event of a crash. For this reason, all motorists need to maintain a keen awareness of their surroundings and always be on watch for motorcycles, say police. With high volumes of trafďŹ c expected over the long weekend, OPP ofďŹ cers throughout the province will be doing their part to keep people safe, both on and off-road. They are counting on one of their most valued partners - the many drivers and ORV enthusiasts who head out this weekend – to drive and ride safely in a collective effort to get through the weekend incident-free. Leading up to and over the May Long Weekend, the OPP are taking part in Canada Road Safety Week, running May 1319. During the campaign, the OPP and its policing partners will be focusing their education and enforcement efforts on the ‘Big Four’ driving behaviours on Ontario roads that place all roads users at risk. These are driving impaired by alcohol or drugs, failure to use or improper use of seat belts, and distracted and aggressive driving. R0012701241.0515

Campus accepting applications for skilled trades programs News - The University of Guelph is maintaining a number of trades and special skills programs at the Kemptville Campus for the 2014-2015 academic year. As announced on April 22, the Kemptville Campus received $2 million in one-time funding from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) to support the full cost of 10 additional trades programs being offered at the campus in 2014/2015. “We are pleased that apprenticeship and trades programming can continue at the campus while a longer-term strategy is developed by the province,” said Patricia Remillard, associate director for business development and skills training at Kemptville Campus. The following programs are being offered at the Kemptville Campus during the 2014/2015 academic year and are accepting applications. The announced $2 million provided by the ministry will support the programs indicated by an asterisk * below. Summer 2014 Intake: • Certificate - Gas Technician*. Fall 2014 Intake:

• Certificate - Industrial Welding and Fabrication. • Horticulture Apprenticeship Level I*. • Dairy Herdsperson Apprenticeship*. • Diesel Equipment Technician (Truck and Coach) Apprenticeship Level I*. • Agricultural Equipment and Heavy Equipment Technician Level II*. Winter 2015 Intake: • Horticulture Apprenticeship Level II*. • Agricultural Equipment and Heavy Equipment Technician Level III*. • Welding Apprenticeship Level I*. • Welding Apprenticeship Level III*. Students applying to these programs are encouraged to do so as soon as possible, and no later than June 30. No new students will be admitted into associate diploma or degree programs at the Kemptville Campus. However, the campus will continue to deliver second-year programming to students currently enrolled in associate diplomas and degrees.

Farming program one-year extension a relief for OFA News - The announcement of $2 million in provincial government funding to continue some of the agricultural programs at Kemptville College is music to the ears of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA). The new funds, announced April 22, extend select skills training programs for one academic year, beginning this September at the University of Guelph’s Kemptville campus. The government announcement indicates the funding will provide skills training in trades that support the agricultural sector in Eastern Ontario, including welding, dairy herdsperson and agricultural equipment, heavy duty equipment, truck and coach, and horticultural technicians. and dairy herdsperson. “This is the first positive message we’ve had since the announcement was made to close the college less than a month ago,” says OFA president Mark Wales, in a news release circulated by the Renfrew County OFA. “Our industry, together with eastern Ontario communities, is grateful for the program extensions. We are still hopeful a solution can be found to continue offering the associate diploma and degree programs in agriculture at Kemptville College too.”

Students already enrolled in the campus’s associate diploma programs in agriculture, equine care and food science will be able to complete their programs in Kemptville for 2014-15. OFA says it strongly believes the industry needs a plan, continued investment and support for agricultural training institutions such as Kemptville College. According to recent University of Guelph research, there are two jobs waiting for every diploma graduate in Ontario and three jobs waiting for every degree program graduate. “These job opportunities demonstrate the strength of Ontario’s agri-food sector and the promising future it offers the next generation,” says the OFA.

Ontario Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities Brad Duguid recently announced a new facilitator position will be appointed to assist in the development of a longterm solution to keep Kemptville College operating. The OFA says it supports the minister and “looks forward to working with the provincial facilitator, industry stakeholders and the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force to continue delivering agricultural and skills training courses at the college.”

Fund more agricultural programs at Kemptville College, County urges Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - The Ontario government recently announced $2 million in interim funding for University of Guelph’s training programs at Kemptville College. But that’s not good enough, according to college spokesmen, knowing the provincial government planned to close the Kemptville campus by the end of 2015. Renfrew County council, in a strongly-worded resolution passed at its May 1 session, has lobbied to preserve existing academic and research programs at the college. The $2 million allocation for skillstraining next year is in support of six trades, including agricultural equipment technicians, heavy-duty equipment technicians, welders and dairy

herdsmen. Kemptville college, which was established in 1916, has been part of the Ontario Agricultural College of the University of Guelph since 1997. The $2 million in funding isn’t enough “to ensure that the agri-business sector in this region has a skilled and well-educated workforce,” said Brian Carre, chairman of the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force, following an April 29 rally by eastern Ontario farm leaders. Renfrew County council’s resolution “urges in the strongest possible way that the Honourable Kathleen Wynne, in both her capacity as premier of Ontario and minister and agriculture and food, immediately re-establish the agricultural programs at the Kemptville campus, creating a Centre of Agricultural Excellence in the East.” The resolution says there are several reasons the skills training needs to con-

tinue. For one, the county opposes the announcement to suspend the college’s agriculture diploma program for the fall 2014 semester because agriculture is eastern Ontario’s largest private sector employer and “we need to ensure that the agri-business sector in this region has a skilled and well-educated workforce.” The resolution also says local stakeholders were not afforded the chance to participate in developing alternative solutions to closing the Kemptville campus by the end of 2015. The $2 million in interim funding, notes county council, still reduces the college’s number of trades programs to 10. Among other things, the government says the $2 million will allow students already enrolled in agriculture, equine care and food science programs to complete those programs in Kemptville in 2014-15.

Arnprior centre top bantam player protected by the Pembroke Lumber Kings Sports – The Pembroke Lumber Kings of the Central Canada Hockey Junior A League think so much of Arnprior centre Liam Hawel that they made the 15-year-old hockey player their number one protected player in this spring’s draft of bantam elite players. Hawel, who accumulated 44 points in 29 games with the Ottawa Valley Titans Bantam AAA team this season and tied for the league scoring title, was taken ninth overall in the bantam elite draft, the first of three

players protected by the Lumber Kings. The Ottawa-born Hawel is listed as being 6’2” and 150 lb. on the elite hockey prospects website. The other players taken by Pembroke in the protection draft were forwards Kris Lalonde from Almonte, who also plays for the Ottawa Valley Titans Bantam AAA, and defenceman Wade Brennan from the Ottawa Senators Bantam AAA team. Pakenham player Logan Buchanan was the second protection taken by league

champion Carleton Place Canadians, drafted 24th overall. The bantam draft preceded the CCHL entry draft April 28 at the Earl Armstrong Arena in Gloucester. OTHER DRAFT PICKS

Area players taken in the entry draft included Adam Church of Pakenham, David Silye and Jonathan Ready of Arnprior, and Isaac Perreault of Braeside.

Sports – The long winter and wet spring have delayed the opening of the Dochart Park fields until at least Tuesday, May 20. Soccer teams have been informed by McNab-Braeside that the fields are too wet to allow games at the moment. As well as preventing local youth soccer teams from practicing, the wet fields forced the Arnprior District High School girls rugby team to play all their tune-up games in Ottawa instead of on their home field.

Keep your eyes on the road!

Driving is, to many Canadians, a daily part of life. It can also be dangerous at the best of times, since a motorist has to take into account both their own actions, as well as those of motorists around them. Increasing the risk and a serious issue facing Canadians is distractions to the driver. The upcoming months of June, July and August historically have the highest fatality and injury rates each year. May 13th marks the beginning of National Road Safety Week and, whether you operate a car, a motorcycle, a scooter, a bicycle, or a pair of sneakers, it is of vital importance that your focus is always on the road. Increased vigilance and concentration could save lives. Interacting with trafďŹ c is often the most dangerous thing a person will do over

the course of an average day. However, many people treat it as a secondary task, choosing instead to focus on using their electronics, grooming, or even reading the newspaper on their morning commute. A study commissioned by TheSteelAlliance and Canada Safety Council demonstrated that 80 per cent of drivers admitted to multi-tasking while behind the wheel. One particularly deadly driver distraction is sending a text message while behind the wheel. As cellular devices become more w idely used and more legislation is implemented to deal with the hazards they might cause, it remains important to understand that even a quick text message can lead to severe consequences. On average, a driver’s eyes

move away from the road for 4.6 seconds at a time, over a six-second interval, while sending a text message. This distraction results in a much higher collision risk: a driver sending a text message is 23 times more likely than a non-distracted driver to get in a collision. If you absolutely have to send that message, pull over when it is safe to do so before beginning to type, or else wait until you have arrived at your destination. An important by-product of driver distraction to keep in mind is the danger it causes to vulnerable road users. Pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, among others, are much more likely to face potential injury or death when involved in a collision. Statistics show that roughly 25 per cent of road user fatalities or severe injuries involved a

vulnerable road user, with 553 fatalities and 3,275 serious injuries in 2009 alone. It is very important for all drivers to be aware of their surroundings at all times. The extra few seconds of distraction brought on by answering a phone call or by programming a GPS device can give a driver less time to react to any possible eventualities. You are more likely to be involved in a collision if a distracting activity takes your eyes off the road. Canada Safety Council urges you to make driving your ďŹ rst priority. Limiting distractions could give you that extra second you need to make a life-saving decision, and can go a long way towards making Canada’s roadways a safer place.

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY: ONTARIO’S RETIREMENT CRISIS

You can get there from here

... but you need to make a plan

Peter Criscione

News - In Aesop’s fable The Ant and the Grasshopper, the industrious ant stores food for the winter, while the carefree grasshopper spends the summer singing away. When the winter arrives, and the cold weather hits, the hungry grasshopper must ask the ant for food. It may be just a cautionary tale, but for many Canadians who don’t put enough m o n e y away for retirement, it could soon become a reality. CINDY CREAN According to a Sun Life Financial survey, one-quarter of Canadians do not know, or have not given any thought to where their retirement income will come from. “There is actually a lot of help out there. It’s just a matter of reaching out to a financial institution and asking questions,” said Cindy Crean, managing director of private clients for Sun Life Global Investments. Retirement savings experts suggest that individuals require 50-70 per cent of their pre-retirement in-

The dream of riding off into the sunset in your retirement is still within your reach, experts say. come to maintain their standard of living in retirement. What’s the best way to do that? Start early is the common refrain: A 21-year-old investing a modest $100 a month into an RRSP at 5 per cent return can earn close to $200,000 by age 65. Though those in their 20s may not have much money for investments, between paying off school

debts and covering the rent, this is a crucial decade to start developing good saving habits, said Crean. And, as people progress into their 30s and 40s, she said, it’s important to stay the course and continue to save. “People in their 30s are not necessarily thinking about retirement,” Crean said. “They should be, but they are probably just thinking

about raising their kids, educating them and paying down their mortgage and maybe take a holiday.” But no matter how tight the budget, the most important rule to investing for retirement is to, well, just do it. “Everyone should be doing something,” said Crean, stressing that sitting down with a financial advisor can help you rest easy at night.

“If you have $2,000 to put away, I think most people would look at that and say, ‘that’s not very much. Should I even be bothering to do it?’” she said. “I would say yes, absolutely.” For most people, though, investing for retirement depends on a lot of variables. See RETIRING Page 35

A METROLAND SPECIAL SERIES: PART 3

Retiring on CPP alone is not enough: finance minister Continued from page 33

“If you’re a teacher and you have a defined benefit pension plan that has indexing that is going to provide you with a pretty decent income at retirement, you may not need as much money in the bank to augment or complement that income,” Crean explained. “Other individuals without a pension will need a significant amount of money in RRSPs (and other investments) to generate the kind of income required at retirement.” One recent study, however, says the situation is not so dire, as Aesop’s tale fails to take into account the grasshopper’s ability to depend on a social safety net. A study released by the Fraser Institute in late April argues there is no retirement income crisis in Canada. The study, titled The Reality of Retirement Income in Canada, notes that focusing exclusively on the traditional pillars of the pension system like Old Age Security, CPP/ QPP, and voluntary pensions

your income is higher and your debts are lower, right? You have now moved from managing debt to building wealth. It’s important to put as much away as possible for the future, both inside and outside your RRSP. Tax planning becomes more important. So what to do? • Max your contributions. • Catch up on any unused carry-forward entitlements. If you did not make your full RRSP contribution in any year from 1991 on, you can make up the investment at any time. • You can split RRIF income for tax purposes with your spouse, if you are 65 or older. • Look for tax-efficient investing: capital gains and Canadian dividends are subject to a lower tax rates that other sources of incomes. • Resist the temptation to dip into your RRSP.

room in their RRSPs. There is about $600 million in RRSP room still available,” Sousa said. “All this has an impact, ultimately, on our social costs in future because many are going to retire now on CPP alone and that is not going to be enough.” CALL FOR ACTION

Backed by various organizations calling for action, the Liberal Government in Ontario, with NDP support, set out on introducing reforms to supplement the CPP. “We want to provide more opportunities, more choice and more availability for residents to supplement their pension,” Sousa said. Regardless of whether a pension crisis exists or not, financial experts like former CFL player Chuck Ealey, who became a financial director with Investors Group after retiring from the game, argue creating a nest egg for retirement should be a priority for everyone. “Nobody plans to fail,” said Ealey. “But people just fail to plan.”

News - The Saving Years: Under Age 40. Those are the three most important words in the retirement planning process – and the most difficult to follow. People under 40 have different financial priorities. It’s tough to peer 20 or 30 years into the future. But time is precious – from a financial point of view. If you look at a 25-year-old who can contribute $5,000 a year to an RRSP and see how much the plan would generate by age 65 at the average return of 6.5 per cent, you will also see that every year of delay (even four years) would result in $212,675 of lost value.

But those tasked with overseeing Canada’s pension distribution say expecting the government to make up the difference in poor saving is a risk. Most Ontarians currently earn about $9,000 annually from CPP and Old Age Security with the average monthly payout less than $600. With a tsunami of retirees flowing through the system in the next 20 years, government officials anticipate a burden on social programs as more people rely solely on CPP. Asked to pinpoint the cause for the pension crunch, Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa pointed to a lack of education and lack of opportunity for investment as key culprits. “About 50 per cent of the population doesn’t have a private pension plan.

MARY COOK Memories was right up there with stealing chickens! I confess I often prayed for black patent shoes, and white stockings, and blonde curls like bad Marguirite, but I figured God would take into account my young age and forgive me. And, of course, my prayers were silently said, so I was the only one who knew I had entered into this discretion, and I figured it was just between God and me. But once the school year was coming to a close, Audrey started in on these long prayers at night in the silence of our hall-bedroom upstairs. “Make sure your eyes are closed,” she whispered ... as if I didn’t know enough to close my eyes! And then she would start. The prayers themselves varied every night, but the plea was the same. Audrey prayed to pass out of the Entrance Class. There was never any doubt in my mind that she would pass with or without our special prayers, but Audrey wasn’t taking any chances. And so every night, right up until the day Miss Crosby handed out our report cards, Audrey and I got down on the rug by the bed and prayed that Audrey would pass out of the Northcote School. This, of course, would go on for weeks, and by the time it was coming up to the last day of school, I was convinced

God would be sick and tired of what Audrey and I were praying for. Why Audrey was so scared of failing was beyond me. Of course, no one ever went back to school if they failed the Entrance Class, and that was what terrified my sister.

The prayers themselves varied every night, but the plea was the same. Audrey prayed to pass out of the Entrance Class. One day, when we were sitting in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, and our Saturday chores had been done, I asked Audrey why it was so important that she get out of the Entrance Class. Couldn’t she just stay home with Mother? Goodness knows there was lots to keep busy at on the farm ... the garden was being planted, Spring housecleaning was under way, the summer clothes had to be gotten ready. And besides, lots of the older girls when they finished at the Northcote School would go off and get married if they passed or not.

Well, Audrey didn’t even have a steady boyfriend, so that was out. And then she told me. Almost in a whisper. As if she was telling some dark secret. “Do you know what the fate is for a farm girl who doesn’t pass out of the Entrance Class?” she asked. And her face took on a most serious look, almost as if she was heading for some terrible end. And then she said ... again in a whisper ... but with a sharpness in her voice that I rarely heard. “They go in to Renfrew and do housework for the rich people.” And she let out a long and purposeful sigh. “Housework ... that’s what they do. And I would rather die than leave the farm and go into Renfrew to scrub and clean for the rich people!” And she named a few of the girls who once went to the Northcote School who didn’t pass at the end of year, and they were in Renfrew, away from the only home they knew, doing housework for the rich people. And so that was the fate of my beloved sister Audrey if she didn’t pass out of the Entrance Class. Once she told me that, I no longer felt the same about our secret nightly prayer at the side of my bed. I put my mind right to it and became just as fervent as my sister, begging God to help her get that report card from Miss Crosby at the end of the school year, saying she had passed out of the Entrance Class, saving her from doing housework in Renfrew for the rich people.

Lifestyle - Audrey prayed a lot. Of course, she was much older than I was, and I knew much smarter, and when she told me to get down on the braided rug by our bed to pray with her, I knew better than to ask why. Our family rarely varied from our bedtime routine. Once we had our necks washed, teeth brushed with baking soda, and nails cleaned, and had gotten into our pyjamas, we followed Mother upstairs and headed for the big braided rug under the window looking out towards the West Hill. As Mother settled into the rocking chair, we five children took our places on our knees around her, and whatever Mother prayed for we repeated verbatim. Once she had touched the tops of each head and we had said our amens in unison, we headed for our beds. But this time of year, when the end of the year was close at the Northcote School, my sister Audrey always had extra prayers to say, and, of course, two praying at the same time, for the same thing, she convinced me had much more power than just one of us asking for a special blessing. The fact that the prayer had nothing to do with me didn’t seem to matter. It was the number, Audrey said, that counted. And so, after the boys had gone to bed, Mother had gone back downstairs, and Audrey had blown out the lamp, she tapped me on the shoulder, and I knew without asking, we were in for another long and purposeful prayer on the braided rug by our bed. We had it drilled into us over many Sunday School classes, and long and purposeful prayers from our whale of a minister as he flailed his arms from the pulpit every Sunday at the Lutheran Church, that praying for material things

Lifestyle - A total of 12,260 and counting. That is how many trips, since Feb. 4, 2008, that have been provided to our citizens whose independence relies on the availability of the Para Transit Care Coach service provided by ArnpriorBraeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program (ABMSH). “As we launch our 2014 ‘Yellow Envelope Mail-Out Keep the Wheels Turning’ campaign in support of our Care Coach, your continued generosity is necessary to make sure this essential service remains active and viable in our community,” said ABMSH executive director Dennis Harrington. The ABMSH Para Transit Care Coach is the only specialized transportation service available for persons, of all ages, living within the Town of Arnprior and the Township of McNabBraeside. As the need expands, so do the areas of coverage. Along with residents of Arnprior and McNab-Braeside, the service is offered and available to the residents of Ottawa’s West Carleton including Fitzroy Harbour, Kinburn, Woodlawn, Constance Bay and Dunrobin. Other areas the Care Coach has travelled to include Pakenham, Almonte, Ottawa, Renfrew, Pembroke and North Bay. “The needs of the client come first. The destination is secondary,” expressed Harrington. In 2013 the goal for the ‘Yellow En-

velope Keep the Wheels Turning Campaign’ was $30,000. That goal was reached and then some. At the end of the campaign $40,035 was pledged. This year the goal, due to a slight increase in expenses is $32,000. The total operating cost per year for the Para Transit Care coach is as follows: wages: $28,371.29; fuel: $5,800.52; insurance: $1,571; license: $90; communications: $1,099.53; and maintenance: $4,876.08. “We are very proud of this service and of the financial support ABMSH has received over the years from the communities we serve,” said Harrington. Right now in our communities, seniors and individuals of all ages with special needs require the use of the Para Transit Care Coach. Since Feb. 4, 2008, a total of 7,886 trips have been provided to citizens requiring the use of a wheelchair and 4,374 to frail elderly clients of which 1,505 were for out-of-town trips. These are the folks that depend on the service the Para Transit Care Coach provides. “I would like to commend the staff at Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program Inc. for their excellent Care Coach Para Transit program. My 92-year-old father (George Freeman of Island View Suites), due to a variety of health concerns, now needs to travel by wheelchair. If the accessible Para Transit van were not available, his only option for travelling to medical appointments would be by ambulance,” said Kate Freeman, of Arnprior. “Since this is the only wheelchair accessible service available in Arnprior, the demand is high. The staff do all they can to try to accommodate everyone’s needs. Colin (Borshevsky) the driver is unfailingly helpful, friendly and courteous and goes out of his way to make these trips pleasant and stress

News - Emotional acceptances of the inaugural Ottawa Valley Tourist Association awards underlined the close connection each recipient had with former OVTA member and tourism advocate Marilyn Alexander. She died last year, triggering the creation of the Marilyn Alexander Tourism Champion Award and the Business of Distinction Award that were presented at the OVTA conference and annual general meeting April 29. Presentations took place at Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort, where an emotional Hinsperger accepted the tourism champion award that was named after his good, personal friend. “I always say it’s not who you know but who you’re seen with,” he said. “And to be seen on this board (of nominees) with these other folks, what a privilege and an honour, because I know by what standards they handle their lives. Perhaps it looks like I handle my life by those same standards,” added the Eganville resident. “I’m truly honoured to have this award with her name on it. I’ve been in tourism now 22 years, and one of the first people I met was Marilyn,” said Hinsperger, recalling the day she came “to the Caves to take pictures that she wanted to use as part of a promotion to encourage people to come to the Ottawa Valley. “She saw her role not as (encouraging people

to) come and stay in our beautiful beds at the Best Western, but I need to promote this Valley and the longer they stay, the more beds they need to sleep in. Now we call that packaging, and that was 22 years ago.” Accepting the Business of Distinction Award for Pembroke Comfort Inn was its general manager, Jody Higgins, who was overcome with emotion. “I’m honoured to be here,” said Higgins. “Wow, I can feel her,” she added in reference to her former general manager. All nominees were submitted by business operators or individuals for exceptional service and dedication in the tourism industry. The other tourism champion award nominees were Lorraine Pecoskie, Holiday Inn Express, Pembroke; Catherine Reynolds, The Fans of Calabogie B&B, Calabogie; Chris Hinsperger, Bonnechere Caves, Eganville; Ann McIntyre, Petawawa Heritage Village, Petawawa; Claudia Van Wijk, Madawaska Kanu Centre, Barry’s Bay; and David Kelley, Mission House Museum, Combermere. Other businesses of distinction nominees were The Ash Grove Inn, Barry’s Bay; Wilno Craft Gallery, Wilno; Gearheads, Petawawa; Pembroke Comfort Inn; and Madawaska Kanu Centre, Barry’s Bay. The purpose of this award is to recognize an OVTA member business that demonstrates leadership, innovation and dedication to the local tourism industry.

Nursing Week

Scent Free Environment

We are proud of our nursing team at Arnprior Regional Health for their reputation of providing excellent and compassionate care. This team of over 120 nursing staff exemplify our vision, “to be recognized for exemplary care; making your health our priority.” Arnprior Regional Health along with the Board of Directors, extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to each and every member of our nursing staff for their hard work, dedication, compassion and professionalism.

To minimize the potential adverse allergic and/or medical reactions associated with exposure to scented products, Arnprior Regional Health (both the hospital and nursing home) is a SCENTFREE facility.

Eric Hanna Jay Johnston President & CEO Chair, Board of Directors

Fundraising Success Maritime success came to Arnprior on May 3. This was the second time that the Knights of Columbus worked with Partners in Caring to offer a steak and lobster fundraising dinner. It takes many individuals and business partners to pull together this event and our community did not disappoint. Thank you to our entertainers, the talented Van Barr family from Kinburn, featuring Charlotte and Bennett, and to emcee Dai Basset. Thank you to Joe Brennan for organizing all the prizes for the silent and live auctions. Almost every business in Arnprior was represented by the prizes they donated. John O’Neil proved once again his worth as an auctioneer and there was spirited bidding between the McEwan and McGonigal table.

We ask that you refrain from wearing perfumes and powders when visiting and to pay attention to what type of flowers delivered to the hospital or nursing home. Flowers such as Lillies are especially scented.

Thank you to our sponsors:

Our community helped us to raise $29,000! This is an increase in $10,000 from x BDO Canada, last year. This money will purchase a Pigg-o-Stat X-ray Positioner (for kids under x Barry J. Hobin 3 to have an X-ray) and an Alenti Lift at the Grove. “On behalf of Partners in Architects Caring, we would really like to thank the Knights for all their help the event x Dykeman Dewhirst helpers and volunteers, and also to our community for their support. I think it’s safe to say that we all want to keep care close to home and providing the right O'Brien LLP equipment to properly manage everyone’s care is very important,” said Partners x MediSystems. in Caring Chair Lori Van Wyk. Thank you for purchasing a corporate table: Tierney Stauffer LLP, Doreen Nicholas, Urban Ford, Coyne Mechanical, Piller5Pharma, Coughlin & Associates, Town of Arnprior, Reid Bros, McGonigal Construction, McEwan Homes, Alan Ruth, Cathy Brady, Crawford, Chondon & Partners, Valley Waste Management, Mulvihill Family, Northern Credit Union, RONA, M.Sullivan & Son, Lion’s Club, Rick Sullivan and Tim Horton’s. 38 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, May 15, 2014

A "scent" is fragrance, aroma, or perfume that adds a smell to something else. Scents can usually be found in personal care products such as perfumes, aftershaves, colognes, shampoos and conditioners, soaps, body lotions and deodorants, as well as cleaning products and some flowers.

Some people experience only mild reactions such as: headaches; feeling dizzy, tired or weak; shortness of breath; nausea; and cold-like symptoms. More serious reactions include: worsening of asthma conditions; feeling anxious; problems concentrating; loss of appetite; seizures; muscle pain; and numbness. Please help our patients and residents by: •Respecting others by NOT wearing perfume, cologne, after-shave, or scented hairspray when coming into our facility •Do not bring scented flowers into the Hospital or Nursing home. Check with the local floral shop for flowers with little or no fragrance. R0012691915

Canadian High Commission in Jamaica recognizes KatieBears Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – Recognition by the Canadian High Commission in Jamaica and a venue change for the annual fun day are among the highlights for KatieBears. The charity organization created in memory of Katie Fraser will host its annual fun day in Renfrew May 24 after several years in Eganville. What started out as a group that frequented a handful of parades and community events offering teddy bears to anyone who looked like they could use a hug has grown into an organization that supports two schools in Jamaica and attends countless events each year with bears and kind words for hundreds of people. “We distributed more than 1,500 KatieBears in our local areas in 2013, plus 300 in Nova Scotia,” said Katie’s mom Lynda, who along with husband Ian, created the organization after losing her daughter in 2009 to a pulmonary embolism. Fraser has no doubt Katie, who started off the idea for the charity when she first gave out a

ders why we’re not going faster,” said Fraser with a laugh. KatieBears continued its support of Dalmally basic school in Dias, Jamaica and the newest addition to the organization’s beneficiary list – Upper Top Lincoln in Grange Hill. The Frasers’ work with KatieBears includes an annual trip to Jamaica. “We visited both schools with loads of school supplies – 150 pounds – KatieBears, and this year we provided food for the students to take home,” said Fraser. “One of the highlights of this year’s trip was recognition from the High Commission of Canada in Kingston, Jamaica. The Frasers met with public diplomacy and media officer Carol Hart and were honoured to have their work recognized. There are plans to have commissioner Robert Ready join them on their school visits next year. “They were thrilled with what we’re doing,” said Fraser, describing the experience as emotional. “We didn’t realize we were doing enough that anybody noticed.” Roslyn Needham, a long-time friend of the Frasers, has been named KatieBears’ ambassador in Jamaica and will be visiting potential schools to determine their needs. “We want to adopt schools that need the most help,” said Fraser. Needham is waiting to see if a visa will be approved so she can make a visit to Canada and the Frasers’ home. CLOSER TO HOME

Fraser is also pleased to

announce a pilot project with the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families. “All new kids coming in for counselling will get a KatieBear,” she said. “Sometimes kids just like having something to hold on to.” FUN DAY

The annual fun day on Saturday, May 24 runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the RCAF Wing in Renfrew. Radio personality Dylan Black from Boom 99.7 will host the event. Fraser urges those with musical inclinations to register for the popular idol competition. Registrants are being asked to raise a minimum $15 in pledges to participate. The annual event includes a variety of activities, including brand new games created by super volunteer Ian Voelker. “We’ve got plinko, golf, punchboard, duck race, potty toss, mini putt, shooting gallery, bean bag toss and more,” said Fraser. Organizers have structured the activities to make for a fun, affordable day for families. “All games will cost one ticket and a 10-pack is available for $5 so you can play every game. There will also be a 25-pack for $10,” said Fraser. A craft show, silent auction, head shaving and remote control car display and raffle will also be part of the fun.

Dickinson to headline Entrepreneur Week event Julia Le

News - A ‘dragon’ is spreading her wings and landing in Ottawa June 9 to impart some lessons learned about making it as an entrepreneur in today’s economy. Arlene Dickinson, best known for her role as one of five venture capitalists on CBC’s Dragon’s Den series, will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series, presented by Metroland Media Group. It takes place at the Brookstreet Hotel, 525 Legget Dr. in Kanata from 7-9:30 a.m. Dickinson’s visit is among 10 stops she’ll make across Ontario as part of Entrepreneur Week, which runs June 2-13. Joining Dickinson for this special event as the entrepreneur guest speaker is Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy. York became the president of Farm Boy in 2009. Prior to that he spent 20 years at the president of Giant Tiger Stores. Entrepreneurship Week celebrates the successes of local entrepreneurs as a community while encouraging others to be innovative to help fuel and drive the local economy. “The event is a celebration of Entrepreneurship Week and to showcase our community entrepreneurs and their contributions to our local economy. It is also a great opportunity to get a look into the success factors behind two amazing entre-

ARLENE DICKINSON preneurs - Arlene Dickenson and Jeff York,� said Metroland East general manager Peter O’Leary. “It is very important to take the time and recognize the contributions and innovations the entrepreneurs of Ottawa have brought to our community and economy. Not only are these amazing people building successful businesses but they give back.� O’Leary noted local residents don’t have to look too far in Ottawa to see some amazing business success stories such as the Greenberg family and Minto, Cyril Leeder and the Senators, Farm Boy, the Tommy and Lefebvre families, and the Myers, Mews family “to see what an impact a group of entrepreneurs have on the city we live in.� Dickinson, who is the CEO of the

marketing firm Venture Communications with a staff of 75 in Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa, said she’s looking forward to meeting entrepreneurs in Ontario’s communities and speaking about how life and business are intertwined when you’re an entrepreneur. The 57-year-old, who travels back and forth between her Calgary and Toronto homes, said the notion of balance, is something of a fallacy. “Balance is very personal. It’s not about 50/50 and equal weight on personal and professional, it’s about doing what makes you happy,� she said, noting that being an entrepreneur is a lifestyle choice, not a career choice. “I’d say that happiness is a function of being able to live and be who you are.� Dickinson found her calling and developed a passion for entrepreneurism at the age of 31 after getting married at 19 and raising four children. Through hard work and perseverance, the author of Persuasion and All In, said she’s been able to overcome numerous challenges that have helped shape her as a business person. Her success and leadership has been recognized with multiple honours and awards including Canada’s Most Powerful Women Top 100 and the Pinnacle Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence, as well as PROFIT

and Chatelaine’s TOP 100 Women Business Owners. She is also CEO of YouInc.com, a company she founded in 2012 that is dedicated to serving and investing in entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial lifestyle. “A lot of what I’ve learned is through the school of hard knocks,� said Dickinson, who never had a university education but has learned about business by taking risks and figuring out how to recover from the failure and mistakes she’s made along the way. Mistakes, she said, aren’t fatal, as long as you can learn from them. “For me, having gone through a lot of the struggle of building a business from the ground up, dealing with partnerships and dealing with building and growth pains, I’ve learned at the end of the day, you have to be able to look deep within yourself to figure out where you’re helping the company, figure out where you’re not helping the company and surround yourself with people who are better than you are,� she said. “That’s an old saying, but it’s a very true one.� She added that entrepreneurs need to recognize that their biggest enemy tends to be themselves. “Self-doubt can play a huge role in your ability to succeed, so if you believe in something you have to stick to it. You have to be resilient,� said

Dickinson, noting that to be successful as an entrepreneur you also have to navigate the roadblocks along the way and accept that you’ll face a lot of rejection. Dickinson is a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient, an Honourary Captain of the Royal Canadian Navy and is the recipient of honourary degrees from Mount Saint Vincent University, Saint Mary’s University and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. “Having Arlene Dickenson partner with us provides our readers and customers the opportunity to experience her live or read about her on our website (of) our community newspapers,� added O’Leary. “Our brand and goal is to be connected to our communities and Arlene allows us to showcase some of the people and entrepreneurs of Ottawa by lending her time, name, and brand. Her commitment to the time in Ottawa also places a spotlight on those entrepreneurs in our community that deserve so many thanks for what they do.� Tickets to the Breakfast Seminar Series cost $90 plus HST.

My hair was thinning! PHIL MOORE/SUBMITTED

For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource.

C

hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”

Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,

which made me realize that it was special.”

Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.

ENTERTAINMENT Knight in the Maritimes Almost 300 participants in the Knight in the Maritimes fundraiser for Arnprior Regional Health enjoyed a steak or lobster dinner, auction and entertainment. Among the Arnprior Regional Health organizers of this year’s Knight in the Maritimes fundraiser are, from left, board vice-chairman Trevor Reid, Partners in Caring chairwoman Lori Van Wyk, and ARH’s manager of fund development Wendy Knechtel. The second annual event took place at Saint John Chrysostom parish hall on May 3. Far right, the lobster was a huge hit again this year.

Energy East Pipeline Thank You North Gower from the Energy East Pipeline project team

Recently, TransCanada returned to the Ottawa area, in North Gower this time, to discuss our proposed Energy East Pipeline project with the community. Our team listened as community members shared their thoughts on topics that ranged from pipeline integrity and water protection to natural gas prices and emergency response planning. First, we’d like to say thank you for welcoming us back into your community. These events and the feedback we receive are a large part of our public engagement program and something TransCanada takes very seriously. If it’s important to you, then it’s important to us. We also want to ensure that everyone has the facts about these important topics. Here are a few key answers to the most common questions we heard from North Gower residents: • Special measures will be adopted to ensure the protection of local water resources including using thicker-walled pipe and placing extra sensors and valves closer together in these sensitive areas. • The pipeline will be monitored 24 hours a day from our state-of-the-art control centre with the ability to shut it down in minutes anywhere along the route. Trained crews and specialized equipment will be strategically placed along the pipeline to respond quickly if needed. • TransCanada is committed to ensuring there is enough pipeline capacity to meet the current and future needs of natural gas consumers. The cost of supplying natural gas to Ontario and Quebec markets will not go up as a result of Energy East. I have been with TransCanada for 23 years and am very proud of our safety record and the people who work each day to uphold it. Thank you once again for hosting us and sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your hospitality and look forward to meeting with you again very soon. Please visit our website at EnergyEastPipeline.com for more information.

Sincerely,

John Van Der Put Vice-President, Energy East Pipeline Project

Report From Parliament:

May is time to protect dogs from heartworm Cheryl GALLANT

Your Member of Parliament Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Constituency Office 84 Isabella St. Pembroke ON K8A 5S5 (Tel) 613-732-4404 (Fax) 613-732-4697

www.cherylgallant.com Recently at Renfrew County Council, some County Councillors made the connection between provincial programs that pay big money to install solar panels and skyrocketing energy bills. In that example, it is obvious to make the connection between government spending and who pays for that spending. While solar panels are not listed on your hydro bill, that has not stopped the province from adding a myriad of charges that have nothing to do with the actual amount of electricity you use. Taxpayers need to ask the question “who pays� every time government proposes a new program or service. Take increasing the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). While a bigger pension for life sounds like a good idea, you pay higher premiums to receive it. Doubling or duplicating the CPP pension as proposed by some, means doubling the contributions. At today’s rate, that would require an employee contribution of 404.25 per month for approximately 40 years at the maximum contribution rate to receive the maximum pension. For the self-employed, the rate is double, $9,702/yr. As an additional payroll tax, business would have to raise prices or cut jobs to pay the increased tax. Raising payroll taxes makes hiring more expensive, which disproportionately hurts young people who have a high unemployment rate. A payroll tax is levied regardless of you, or your employer’s ability to pay, the same way increases to your hydro bill are charged with no regard whether you are retired or unemployed.

Lifestyle - Heartworm is a blood parasite that poses a serious health threat to dogs in Canada. Heartworms are large roundworms that live in the right side of the heart and the blood vessels that supply the lungs, surviving on nutrients which they steal from the dog’s bloodstream. They can grow to a length of 15 to 30 centimetres, and in severe cases a dog may be infested with hundreds of worms. Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected dog, it will ingest the immature worms (microfilariae) produced by the adults in the heart along with the blood from the dog. The immature worms develop in the mosquito over the next few weeks until they reach an infective stage. When the mosquito bites an uninfected dog, it will inject the immature worms into the tissues with its saliva. From here, the immature worms develop further and migrate to the heart where they will mature into adults and begin re-

producing. This cycle continues unchecked unless treatment is given. From this it is easy to see how one infected dog can infect a whole neighbourhood. What are the signs of heartworm disease? For both dogs and cats, clinical signs of heartworm disease may not be recognized in the early stages, as the number of heartworms in an animal tends to accumulate gradually over a period of months and sometimes years and after repeated mosquito bites. Infected dogs may exhibit no signs of the disease, while heavily infected dogs may eventu-

ally show clinical signs, including a mild, persistent cough, reluctance to move or exercise, fatigue after only moderate exercise, reduced appetite and weight loss. Cats may exhibit clinical signs that are very non-specific, mimicking many other feline diseases. Chronic clinical signs include vomiting, gagging, difficulty or rapid breathing, lethargy and weight loss. Signs associated with the first stage of heartworm disease, when the heartworms enter a blood vessel and are carried to the pulmonary arteries, are often mistaken for feline asthma or allergic bronchitis, when in fact they are actually due to a syndrome newly defined as Heartworm Associated Respiratory Disease (HARD). Heartworm may be easily prevented. Start by having your veterinarian examine a sample of your dog’s blood for the presence of the immature worms once yearly. If your dog is not infected, then a preventative

Dogs can suffer from allergies too

The liberal party in Toronto is hoping that by using a hidden tax, be it added charges on your hydro bill, a health levy or a payroll tax on earnings and employment, by calling it something different, they can raise taxes without being held accountable. Past experience is a warning we ignore at our peril. State savings schemes are not risk-free. Politicians are eternally tempted to use them to pay benefits today whose cost can be pushed off onto future taxpayers or retirees, or both. The province wants to increase the CPP so that they can have access to the low cost financing they had on the first premiums. Just because the current CPP is shielded from such tinkering does not mean future governments cannot change the rules. There is no such thing as risk-free investing, including when the government is taking your money. Rather than increase taxes, our federal Conservative Government encourages voluntary retirement saving, through RRSPs and our popular Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). These voluntary savings accounts stay in the control of the contributor, including where they are invested and are available anytime for emergencies. Unlike the CPP that ends when the contributor dies, RRSPs and TFSAs remain under the control of the family or beneficiary, who decides what, is in their best interest. d problem is not the current level of pension benefits received by Canadians, but the benefits to be received by future pensioners. Corporate pension plans are widely being scaled back. Public sector pension plans in Canada have withstood attack so far, but they are surely on the radar screen of governments in this country. Canadians are saving less, and getting poor returns on the money that they do invest. the perceived problem is not the current level of pension benefits received by Canadians, but the benefits to be received by future pensioners.

program should be started. The preventative program involves giving the dog a pill once a month during mosquito season. This medication destroys the immature heartworms transmitted by the mosquitoes and stops the cycle of the disease. Preventive programs should not be started before your dog has been tested for the presence of heartworm disease by your veterinarian. The test and the preventive program should be done each spring with the medication continuing throughout the summer until November. For those vacationing in the United States with your dog, consult your veterinarian regarding the best way to provide continual protection against this easily preventable disease.

Lifestyle - With spring comes new flowers, bulbs, and leaves. Unfortunately, for allergy sufferers, pollen, grasses and weeds also come with it. While the symptoms of seasonal allergies are well-documented in humans, could you identify them in fourlegged companions? If you’re like the majority of Canadian dog owners, the answer is no. A new poll conducted by Ipsos Reid found the majority of Canadian dog owners don’t know the signs of seasonal allergies in their own dogs. “In truth, the symptoms of seasonal allergies in dogs and humans can be different,� says Dr. Alison Turcotte, a veterinarian with Royal Canin Canada. Signs of seasonal allergies in dogs can include excessive scratching or chewing at their paws, red or irritated skin and ear infections. Dr. Turcotte adds if a dog is showing any of these signs, pet owners should seek the advice of their veterinarian. Treatment options can include topical therapies, oral medications, soothing shampoos, immunotherapy and veterinary diets. The Ipsos Reid poll also revealed that there is still education needed when it comes to using diet to treat seasonal allergies - to reduce reliance on medication such as steroids. Of those dog owners polled, 45 per cent don’t know that a dog’s diet can have an impact on seasonal allergies. In dogs, allergens are mostly absorbed through the skin – even more so if the skin is dry or unhealthy – so a healthy skin barrier plays a vital role in protecting dogs from seasonal allergies. More information about seasonal allergies in dogs can be found at www. royalcanin.ca/itchypetseeyourvet.

Wild food club plans walk in Gillies Grove Lifestyle – The Lanark Wild Food Club has planned a visit to Arnprior in July for a wild medicine walk in Gillies Grove. The group, which has a new website up and running at www.lanarkwfc.com, has held several events already this year including the Wheeler’s maple syrup walk April 5 and a leek walk in the McDonald’s Corners area led by Bill Barrett May 10. The next major excursion will be the Devil’s Rock path walk to be led by Peter Fischl on Saturday, June 14. As this is prime foraging season, it will allow people without access to a vehicle to get to know what diversity of wild foods are available just at the edge of Perth. Walkers will meet at Conlon Farm parking lot across from St. John Catholic High School at 9:30 a.m. for the kilometre-long hike along an easy trail ending at the creek. The traditional wild medicine walk to be led by Carol McGrath in Arnprior is set for Saturday, July 26. McGrath is a seasoned and highly educated natural herbal practitioner and educator who has graciously offered to guide a plant walk through Gillies Grove, one of few remaining actual stands of old growth forest in this area. “This will prove to be a very interesting time with Carol’s expertise casually shared in the splendour of the grove,” noted club spokesman Peter Fischl. Formed in 2012, the club is made up of a group of wild food enthusiasts who share expertise, love of the outdoors, meeting new friends and exchanging ideas from their varied backgrounds. For more information on the club or any of its planned walks, visit www.lanarkwfc.com.

Valley Heritage Radiothon expected to raise at least $85,000 News - There was plenty to celebrate at the Valley Heritage Radio Round-up Dance at the Renfrew Armouries. This year’s radiothon was cut from 10 to seven days and, but as of the final day, April 27, fundraising surpassed $80,000. When the dust settles, it is expected to hit the $85,000 mark. “We couldn’t be happier with the support and love people have for this little station,” said tation manager Jason Marshall. “Without the listeners, we wouldn’t be on the air today.” Valley Heritage Radio founders Vic and LindaMae Garbutt were invited to speak to the crowd and the Round-up Dance. The couple was recently elected to the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame for their long-time commitment to country music in the region.

We did not know how much you would teach us, About the meaning of true love . . . For true love sometimes means letting go, Of someone so precious and dear. That is what we were forced to do, Although we wanted to keep you here!!! Ryan, in our hearts we truely believe, That God must have needed you more... To save lives or perhaps to be and Angel now, Full of wisdom and love, Watching over those of us who love you, From the shining stars above. We miss you more than ou can ever know. You could never be replaced... In our hearts and memories foever, Will be your beautiful sleeping face. Happy 28th Birthday in Heaven. We will always love you, Mom, Dad and Family

Remembering you always, Karen, family and friends

Loved Forever Your Cousins

M Memories i are treasures that no one can ever steal. Death leaves many heartaches that no one can ever heal. Some people may forget now that you are gone. But we will always remember No matter how long.

How can it be 11 years The time has gone so fast You said good-bye that morning Who knew it would be your last…. We often talk about you To keep you in our hearts Your pictures help our memories So we don’t fall apart Your love will last forever Your smile stays in our hearts Some day we’ll meet in heaven When it’s my time to depart

April 25, 1943 – May 15, 2010 Four years has passed, Since that sad day, When one we loved, Was called away. God took him home, It was His will, Within our hearts, He liveth still.

Known to all as Deannie, She was a wonderful wife, A wonderful Mother, A wonderful Grandmother, A wonderful friend, We all miss her presence. So Goodnight, sleep well, And we shall all meet In the morning.

My Fair Lady opens June 4, tickets available at library Saturday flicted views,” says Pidgeon, who highlights the theme of confinement through the production. “Andrew has captured all of those layers to Henry and the passion that draws Eliza to him in spite of his awful behaviour.” Lisa Webber, back for her fourth year as musical director, says My Fair Lady remains a favourite with audiences because of the unforgettable music and characters that inhabit Eliza’s world. “Ciara’s gutsy performance and soaring vocals sweep us along on Eliza’s personal journey from the raw emotion in songs like ‘Just You Wait’ to her ladylike transformation in ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’.” Add in the magic of musician and actor James Hrkach as the hilarious Alfred P. Doolittle – who offers his jaundiced worldview in numbers such as ‘Get Me to the Church’ and ‘With a Little Bit of Luck’ – and there’s no shortage of memorable moments. “All of the best musicals have amazing stories and characters that resonate,” says Pidgeon. “Thanks to Shaw’s

brilliant writing, My Fair Lady still holds up in the way it explores relationships and love.” The musical’s script uses several scenes that Shaw wrote for the 1938 film version of Pygmalion, including the Embassy Ball sequence and the final scene, which takes a much different turn than the ending for the original play. “I actually prefer the original ending, when Eliza doesn’t come back to Higgins,” says Pidgeon. “It feels truer to the spirit of the characters and to Eliza’s metamorphosis, where she defines herself very much on her own terms.” As to which ending Pidgeon ultimately decides to go with, “people will just have to come in June to find out.” My Fair Lady runs from June 4-7 at 7 p.m. All performances will be held in the Arnprior District High School auditorium. Tickets cost $15 for adults, $10 for students and can be purchased online at www. tworiversmusicals.ca. Anyone not able to get online can buy tickets in person SUE KOCH/SUBMITTED at the Arnprior Public Library this Saturday, May 17 from The Two Rivers production of My Fair Lady runs June 4-7 in Arnprior with Andrew Jensen and Ciara Magoon in memorable turns as Henry and Eliza. noon to 3 p.m.
