McNab-Braeside at impasse over recreation, library agreements JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news - McNab-Braeside council decided Tuesday to end recreation and library service deals with Arnprior by year’s end and replace them with a subsidized user pay system.

However, the town remains adamant that it won’t enter into an agreement based on user pay fees, said Arnprior Mayor David Reid in response to McNab-Braeside council’s decision.

The impasse is expected to split not only Arnprior and McNab-Braeside but township residents who differ dramatically on how their council should respond to the Arnprior offer. It also adds uncertainty to how the Nick Smith Centre and Arnprior Public Library will be funded in the future and raises the spectre of increased levies for users of both facilities.

Part of the problem revolves around Arnprior’s reluctance to track and charge township users of town facilities and programs. Reid gave several reasons for opposing that process, saying the last time it was tried it resulted in rising administrative costs and falling revenues for the town.

Implementing a program that allows the township a user pay system based on the Renfrew model would

be “unreasonable and unfair� to Arnprior taxpayers, he said On the other hand, McNab-Braeside council maintains the tracking is necessary for it to know whether its expenditure is justifiable, particularly as the increases proposed by Arnprior will mean a significant rise in taxes. “We need to know what we’re buying,� said Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie. “You don’t go into a store and write a cheque without knowing what you’re getting.�

After a lengthy discussion at a special budget meeting Tuesday morning, council passed a motion offering to pay Arnprior about $114,000 for its residents to use the Nick Smith Centre in 2012.

That’s the amount in the deal that is expiring (Arnprior is asking for $142,584). That will give it time to determine how many how many township users sign up for town programs this summer, fall and winter, council agreed.

The motion goes on to say that beginning Jan. 1, 2013, based on the assumption the town will charge McNab-Braeside users a non-resident recreation fee of $155, the township will reimburse its residents $112 of that on submission of a receipt.

EMC news – The petition to establish a dog park in Arnprior garnered 311 signatures over a one-month span.

Spearheaded by Megan Noel, the petitions were at town pet stores and elsewhere, then presented to council at the May 14 meeting.

Noel lives downtown and finds it a challenge to navigate sidewalks with her new baby and two big huskies. Huskies are

strong animals and less aware of boundaries than other dogs.

She said it is a challenge to leave the house for fresh air and exercise with the crew; as the dogs are tough to keep in tow while caring for a newborn.

It proves a bit of a danger on the sidewalks for all involved. But she would prefer not having to drive into Bruce Pit dog park in Bells Corners.

ADHS track team dominates county meet EMC sports – Arnprior District High School athletes added another chapter to what has been an incredibly successful year with an overwhelming victory in the Renfrew County track meet Wednesday.

Competing on their home track, ADHS students piled up 881 points to more than double second-place General Panet, which had 414. Perennial powerhouse RCI was third at 388.

It marks the second straight Valley title for the Arnprior track team, ending a decadelong dominance by RCI. It’s the latest in a string of successes for the Arnprior high school in football, rugby, basketball and most recently soccer (see Page 13).

Many track team members will compete in the Eastern Ontario championships May 22 and 23 in Belleville.

Switching to user pay subsidy system to be a ‘shock’ for some Continued from front

McNab-Braeside Council also passed a similar motion offering to continue with the existing agreement terms with the library until Dec. 31.

As of Jan. 1, it will reimburse township residents $35 annually based on the assumption Arnprior will charge a $60 non-resident fee.

Mayor Mary Campbell agreed there would be some residents shocked by the decisions.

The vocal majority at a public meeting May 7 in Braeside opposed user fees, but councillors said most of the input they are receiving oneon-one opposes having the tax base subsidize recreation and library services for a minority.

“A number of people I’ve talked to want user fees,” said Coun. Bob Campbell.

Certainly the decision didn’t sit well with Reid, who had penned a letter to be presented to council Tuesday evening. To his dismay, he found out that council had made the decision Tuesday morning.

While Reid made it clear Arnprior wouldn’t make major changes to its offer, noting council felt it was “very fair” and supported by the “vast majority” at the May 7 meeting, he did tweak it a bit.

The phase-in numbers that would lift McNab-Braeside’s contribution to the Nick Smith Centre operation from $142,584 this year to $270,239 in 2016 were modified slightly, the request the township contribute 20 per cent of the cost of a recreation master plan was withdrawn and the town offered to form a joint recreation committee with the township as suggested at the public meeting.

However, McNab-Braeside council made it clear it isn’t about to change its mind either.

That left councillors wondering what to do next. “I thought we left the ball in their court, but I think we just had it lobbied back,” said Mayor Campbell.

She said that the two councils are on “different pages” when it comes to the issue. Arnprior wants to charge enough to properly fund the facilities and ensure its residents don’t pay an

appeared to be a one-way street. “It appears Arnprior didn’t even consider our input,” she said.

“They gave us figures, but there was no discussion.”

MEET AGAIN?

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell goes over the figures of the proposed recreation deal with Arnprior at a recent council meeting. excessive share of the costs. “They can charge anything they want,” said Campbell.

However, McNab-Braeside wants to determine who is using the services and how they should pay, she added.

Councillors made it clear that they have some doubts about the town’s numbers regarding Nick Smith Centre and library users. The refusal of the library to provide a specific list of township users was also frequently mentioned in talks about rejecting an extension of the service agreement.

“Because we’re not getting the number of users, we’ll have to go user pay to find out,” said Blimkie.

“If they can’t provide information back to us, how can we justify paying more,” said Coun. Brad McIlquham. He noted the recreation committee supports extending the agreement to year’s end to determine user numbers, then decide whether to go user pay.

“I think they will show we’re paying pretty much what we should be or maybe a bit more,” he said.

Coun. Aldene Styles said the negotiations

Canlok Stone

Despite the unlikelihood either side would budge, council agreed that it would offer to meet once again with Arnprior council in an effort to try to understand each other’s position better and determine if Arnprior would accept continuing until the end of the year under the terms of the current contract.

“Council won’t be bullied,” said Campbell.

“But we’d like to save our residents any anguish while Arnprior sorts it out … we don’t want them left out to dry.”

If the two sides are to meet, they need to do it quickly, as Reid says it is important to finalize an agreement no later than June 30 to give the Nick Smith Centre and library time to work out upcoming programming.

Campbell noted that Reid says the town rejects any agreement based upon user fees, but hasn’t indicated what it would do in its place.

Councillors speculated Arnprior’s reaction could range from raising fees across the board to compensate instead of charging an extra outof-town rate that would boost administrative costs to banning out-of-town users outright.

If Arnprior charged extra for recreation, but refused to administer the program and give out receipts, McNab-Braeside could contact sports clubs in an effort to get the numbers or use its own staff to figure out how much it owes, it was suggested.

Campbell stressed that the township wants to pay its fair share. “We not trying to dodge payments,” she said.

Council said it would be difficult to estimate how many residents would come in for the subsidy, as some might use the receipt for a tax break instead. “That’s another reason such agreements are out of date … because the feds now provide a subsidy through tax breaks,” said Campbell.

She suggested council could slowly phase out the subsidy and allocate all its recreation

funding to developing programs and facilities in the township.

“I’m about redirecting recreation dollars, not reducing them,” she said, in response to the contention that a major consideration in the debate should be the lowering of taxes.

The province has made it clear that municipalities have a responsibility to provide programs and facilities that encourage their citizens to be healthy and active, she added.

Horton is a good example of how to direct recreation dollars within a township, she said, noting it has a new community hall and rink.

Campbell said it would be much easier to “sell” an expenditure to ratepayers if their tax money goes toward a McNab-Braeside team instead of flowing out of the township.

Campbell did stress that she felt strongly that the township shouldn’t charge residents of Arnprior and other municipalities extra to use Dochart Park and its other facilities.

“That’s not … what our rural culture is all about,” she said.

As for the library, she suggested it is unfair to ask McNab-Braeside residents who are struggling to keep community meeting places and church halls open in the township to pay more for a facility that is changing to keep in step with the town’s evolving lifestyle.

Council did approve a new agreement with Arnprior to have the town continue to provide water and sewer service for about seven or eight McNab-Braeside homes along the town boundary.

LIBRARY RESIGNATION

Council also accepted with regret the resignation of Daniel Q. Smith as one of its representatives on the Arnprior Library Board, although it made it clear he would be welcomed back once the service deal furor has subsided.

Mayor Mary Campbell noted that Smith still enjoys serving on the library board, but feels he has been put in a difficult position because of the thorny negotiations.

She suggested council put his request on hold until discussions are finalized, but council decided it had no choice but to accept his request.

Arnprior council news in brief EMC news - The following were among the items discussed at the May 14 Arnprior town council meeting.

BUY GAS IN BULK?

Reeve Walter Stack is pressing to ďŹ nd out how much the recent spike in gasoline is affecting county government coffers.

He said the operations committee learned of a $100,000 over budget deďŹ cit. It could rise to $500,000, meaning another 1.5 per cent county tax rate increase next year for fuel alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten pretty critical,â&#x20AC;? he said at a recent council meeting.

Stack asked county staff to contact all 17 municipalities to gauge interest in buying gasoline in bulk, thereby saving some tax dollars.

He updated Arnprior council at the May 14 meeting, saying the majority of those who responded are interested in pursuing the idea further.

Coun. Ted Strike and Mayor David Reid remain cautious, saying they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to lose the favourable status already enjoyed with a supplier.

HIGHEST BID ACCEPTED

Council accepted a staff recommendation to go with a more expensive dehumidiďŹ er for one of the rinks at Nick Smith Centre.

Parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur said he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember ever suggesting council go with a more expensive piece of equipment,

but in this case an exception is necessary.

During budget season, council approved spending $30,000. Two bids came in: one for $25,810; another for $29,500.

Arthur explained that the cheaper of the two will cause moisture build-up in summer, resulting in the build-up of stalagmites on the ice surface.

The more expensive dehumidiďŹ er is similar to the aging one already in place.

Approving its purchase was unanimously carried by council. Coun. Lyle Anderson was absent.

MARINA OPENS

The town is once again in charge of the marina.

Two years ago a businessperson attempted to run the marina, which lacks amenities such as washrooms, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a proďŹ t.

The town likely will lose about $2,000 offering the service.

Generally about 85 per cent of the 84 slips sell each year, according to parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur.

Ten slips are held for weekend users and others passing through.

The cost is $31.50 plus HST per foot. A $25 deposit (returned at seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end) is also required.

After the town sees insurance, registration, home address and conďŹ rmation of boat length, it will issue two keys.

The marina is staffed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. The season runs from

May 12 to Oct. 15.

The nearby launch is open until mid-December. Users pay $10 per launch or $100 for unlimited use all season.

LAWYER LAUDED The Arnprior committeeof-adjustment wants to add more members in a bid to avoid not meeting quorum.

The committee is comprised of chair Murray Chown, Carol Ruddy, Ken Deluca, and Peter Pelletier.

Coun. Dan Lynch and town planner Robin Smith attend meetings as non-members.

Council learned at the May 14 meeting that J. David Moore, a long-time lawyer in town with extensive knowledge in real estate law is interested in joining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent choice, obviously,â&#x20AC;? Mayor David Reid said when council approved the staff recommendation.

NEW SNACK BAR OWNER

The snack bar at Robert Simpson Park will open again this year, thanks to Carrie Smith agreeing to take over the contract.

An employee of the last owner, Smith will pay $400 per month to be the exclusive supplier of food in the park, with a few exceptions.

The sum hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed since 2009.

Reeve Walter Stack said the amount of rent money matters less to him than having a presence in the park for tourists and would-be lawbreakers to see.

Doug Scheels named town’s 2012 senior of year DEREK DUNN

derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – “I always say life is what you make it.”

“People are people and there’s nothing you can do about that.”

“Life is life.”

“It’s a small world in a small town.”

“I’m a straight shooter, you know that. Right or wrong it’s how I feel.”

In a five-minute conversation with any or all of these aphorisms, these insights drawn from life well lived, will be uttered by this year’s senior of the year: Doug Scheels.

For anyone in town who doesn’t know Scheels, which by his own admittance would be few, the 86-year-old – as spry and alert as any 50-year-old – is Arnprior’s folk historian.

Doug Scheels: Arnprior Senior of the Year

A regular contributor in countless ways to the newspaper, a man who has sat on multiple town committees (currently on the parks and recreation committee), Scheels’ name was warmly received at the May 14 council meeting.

“The senior of the year is Doug Scheels,” Coun. Mark Willmer announced. “Doug is a wealth of knowledge and knows the history like no one else. He’s always willing to share his opinions and knowledge with others.”

Among his greatest accomplishments in the public sphere was Doug’s leadership in the Save the Grove campaign, which spared the Gillies Grove natural forest from development.

A former Ontario Hydro employee, he is married to Helen and father to Lynn and Glenn.

When contacted for reaction, for perhaps the

first time Scheels was almost reluctant to speak about the honour. He is planning a speech for when the commemoration takes place – during the Arnprior 150th anniversary opening ceremonies on June 8 – and doesn’t want the newspaper to scoop him.

However, the always loquacious Scheels did share a few words.

“I just got the letter three days ago. I was certainly proud. It’s quite a thing. I read the list of those that got it so far. I know a lot of those names. I’m not bragging or anything, I’m just saying,” Scheels said. “It’s a good list to be on.”

For those who don’t know him, the next time you run into an elderly man sporting a jowly smile, ask him how he is doing.

“You know me. I’m on top of the world.”

Dog park proponent pleased first step taken Continued from front

During Noel’s presentation to council, she cited a number of reasons for the creation of a dog park, including: • it would attract young families to town; • it would help bylaw officers familiarize themselves with local dogs; • the tracking of spayed and neutered dogs would be easier; • other parks will have less dog feces; • people at other parks will be safer.

Noel is happy with the response to the petition, given she has no experience in drumming up support for an initiative.

“It was a good turnout,” she said. “If the exposure was out there longer we might have gotten even more names.”

Mayor David Reid said staff will consider the petition when prioritizing capital expenditures during the 2013 budget season.

Noel was satisfied that at least the process is underway.

“It’s progress. That’s pretty much all I was hoping for at this point.”

Parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur was asked two years ago to evaluate the Brockville dog park to see if a similar type of facility would work here. The last council was pressed by some dog owners to create a park at that time.

Arthur said the project eventually fell victim to budgetary pressures, but remains in his department’s 10-year capital plans budget.

At the time, he estimated the cost to fence in an area, provide ground covering and water bowls at $26,100.

He said using part of the beachfront across from McLean Park would be the ideal location.

Right now, some dog owners use the fenced-in ball diamonds. There is concern of dog owners not picking up after their animals in many parks

John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Having finally made the difficult decision on recreation and library service agreements with Arnprior, McNab-Braeside council completed its budget deliberations Tuesday.

The township budget, if approved unchanged June 5, will boost the municipal residential tax rate by five per cent (89 per cent of the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxable properties are residential).

Council had tried to keep the increase to cost-of-living, but was thwarted by a lower grant from the province and rising costs in a number of areas.

Prior to the final fine-tuning, council was told the tax increase was six per cent and would mean a ratepayer with a $250,000 property who experienced the average 2012 assessment boost of six per cent in the township would see the bottom line taxes go up $139.

With the county and school board rates dropping 4.3 per cent, a homeowner of a $100,000 property who did not experience an assessment increase this year would actually see a $3.69 drop in taxes, treasurer Connie Graham told council. If the property assessment went up to $106,000 the taxes would go up $56. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are we comfortable with six per cent?â&#x20AC;? asked Coun. Aldene Styles at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting, adding there may be some items that could be delayed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My concern is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re telling people we should be holding the line on the recreation and library budgets, yet weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up

six per cent.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know of any extras,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Mary Campbell, adding she never felt the recreation and library deliberations were about keeping taxes down, but rather about how that money should be spent.

However, with the increase of taxes going from $378 to just over $400 per $100,000, it would be a positive step to drop it below $400, she said. She suggested that $9,000 could be taken out of the fund allocated for the Perneel building.

Council took it a step further, moving to take all of the $30,000 in engineering fees allocated for the building out of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. The motion passed 3-2 with Campbell and Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie opposed.

The move will drop the tax increase to about five per cent and lower the figures used earlier in the meeting slightly.

PERNEEL MEETING

Despite the elimination of the fees from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget, a meeting to get public input into what the township should do with the Perneel building will go ahead on Monday, May 28.

The 7 p.m. session in council chambers will discuss various options for the building bought by the township last year. The building, located across Russett Drive from the municipal headquarters, is being used for storage.

It would need water and sewer services before it could be ready for any of the several suggested uses already been made.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Do go overboard with service deal dispute It has become clear that McNabBraeside council has dug in its heels over the library and recreation service agreements issue.

In the name of defending its â&#x20AC;&#x153;rural culture,â&#x20AC;? council has rejected Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed dollar figures and payment structure.

Rural culture, according to councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretation, is about self reliance and individuality, paying oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own way, having a user fee system to pay for services.

Still, as a show of moderation, council will implement a partial user fee/township subsidy system to help some of its residents pay for

access to town facilities.

Most who attended a recent township meeting over the issue favoured Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal: less so on the dollar figures, but definitely the payment structure.

However, others have since contacted Mayor Mary Campbell and her councillors to say they like either a complete user fee system or the hybrid noted above. And, of course, Campbell travels the township extensively: she knows where residents stand.

So, the question is whether council is simply reflecting the wishes of the majority, or acting out of

ideology. Is it true most residents favour the user fee/limited subsidy system, or is council dominated by out-of-date libertarians?

The success of social democracies is based in part on the willingness to pool money, meaning to pay for services through tax revenue.

The whole is worth more than the sum of its parts. Buying in bulk reduces the burden on all, especially the most vulnerable.

To toss aside that basic truism is not simply anti-egalitarian. It is impractical, which tends to contradict the common sense approach of rural culture.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impractical.

If the library and Nick Smith can no longer count on contributions from everyone in both municipalities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; through the tax base â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the user fees will skyrocket.

Currently, youth who play minor hockey, ringette, Madawaska girls hockey, and figure skate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a substantial number of kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pay an â&#x20AC;&#x153;in-town rateâ&#x20AC;? regardless of where they live. Now that council has rejected Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed payment structure, it is entirely possible that â&#x20AC;&#x153;out-of-townâ&#x20AC;? fees for township kids could double. A youngster who plays hockey for

$400 a year could end up paying $800.

The library board could also be forced to apply the â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-resident membership feeâ&#x20AC;? to township residents, and jack up the cost at the same time.

The people being hurt the most by this turn of events would be those least able to pay for the services.

Unfortunately, this issue has the potential of turning ugly. Mayor David Reid is guilty of giving a knee-jerk reaction to the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position this week when he said the town will refuse a user fee system. But public libraries canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deny anyone willing to pay the membership fee.

We say the township ought to demand a better price, but accept the payment structure as long as the town gives them realistic user numbers that can be confirmed. If user fees are king â&#x20AC;&#x201C; why even bother with increasing complex rural government?

LETTERS

Spend taxes on township facilities To the Editor: I am writing to voice my opinion re the user pay for use of the Arnprior Library by McNabBraeside residents.

First, I would like to make it very clear that I use the library on a regular basis. I am glad that we have use of it, no question. What I am against is having everyone pay for my library card.

Years ago, a library was a necessity for education. That was a given. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have computers and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all have encyclopedias in our homes.

It was the place to go after school for information to do projects and to borrow books for information and reading entertainment.

Today the library is most often used for entertainment purposes. We have access to more information than we would ever be able to process through the computers in homes and at school.

The library has become a luxury. It is a place to go and sit and read and borrow movies, audio books and printed books or just read the

paper. How nice but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a necessity.

I do not want or expect other people paying for my luxuries.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for subsidies to go to a show or take in a play, so why would I have the whole community pay for my library card?

If McNab-Braeside can afford to hike our taxes for the use of the library and the Nick Smith Centre, I would much rather see the money used towards recreational facilities in our own area.

I have pushed to have a public pool for Braeside residents and was always told there just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the money. Obviously we do and I would like to see that money spent here in McNab/ Braeside rather than in Arnprior.

In the back of my mind, I think it is just another step towards Arnprior gobbling us up and I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see that happen. I would much prefer to see money spent in enriching our own home.

Gail Anderson Braeside

Libraries are an essential service To the Editor: I take exception to your article in Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC of May 10.

The heading reads â&#x20AC;&#x153;User-pay support surprises M-B council,â&#x20AC;? yet the opening sentence says â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vast majority â&#x20AC;Ś agreed â&#x20AC;Ś with taxes going up to pay for services.â&#x20AC;?

Seems like a conflict between the heading and the text. I can identify myself as the individual who lost it. I became exasperated with all the cost figures, unofficial statistics, and estimates that were being presented by Mayor Campbell.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the experience or ability to present my case nearly as well as Mayor Campbell.

I take this opportunity to apologize to Mayor Campbell and the council for my rude behav-

iour. However, I still contend that the municipality has the responsibility to provide recreational facilities and programs for the citizens, and that public libraries are an extension of our system of education, that should be financially supported from our tax base. I consider these as essential services in a modern residential community.

Like so many industrial and commercial enterprises who opt to â&#x20AC;&#x153;out-source,â&#x20AC;? we can buy services from Arnprior and Renfrew at lower cost than we can provide from within.

I am sure that the business community in Arnprior donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind paying a portion of the incremental costs for we outsiders to use their facilities. They need the traffic.

Web Poll POLL RESULTS

THIS WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S QUESTION

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your reaction to the publishing of the annual sunshine list of civil servants who make $100,000 or more?

What do you think of the recent IpsosReid poll that showed the federal New Democratic Party virtually tied with the Conservatives.

A) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s valuable because it shows that government is out of touch and is spending far too much of taxpayers money on salaries.

C) It should continue, but to account for inflation, the list should be modified to include only employees making $150,000 and more.

D) Stop the practice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an invasion of privacy. Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salaries are nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business but employees and employers.

LETTERS

Liberal attack letters cheap politics, disgusting disrespect toward soldiers To the Editor: Re: ‘Liberal letter-writers target local MP Gallant’ (Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC, May 3).

It was with thorough disgust that I read the letter from the third party opposition critic for defence, John McKay, complaining about Conservative Government policy to provide the best equipment for our women and men in uniform.

He and his party show utter disrespect to the families of our Afghanistan veterans who lost a loved one, or soldiers who suffered a permanent injury, because his party cancelled the helicopters that would have helped to keep our troops away from roadside bombs.

He and his party owe an apology to the Canadian taxpayer who was forced to pay $500 million in penalties, and to all Canadians, because his party cancelled the contract to replace the 1960s-era Sea King helicopters that were eventually dubbed “flying coffins” by some in the military as pilots and crew have

Bill would hold OSPCA to account To the Editor:

animal abuse and if necessary, recommend treatment or removal of animals from the property.

The inspector, on the advice of the veterinarian, would get a warrant from a justice of the peace to remove the animal or call a police officer who would decide if it was necessary to lay charges against the animal owner. Historically, only 3 per cent of complaint calls result in charges being laid by the police.

Among the other changes Bill 47 proposed, the Chief Inspector of the OSPCA would have been appointed by the government instead of by the OSPCA itself.

The purpose of Bill 47 was to bring oversight and accountability to the OSPCA. The purpose was to bring accountability and oversight to the OSPCA, not to change animal welfare laws. Many stakeholders are continuing to work with government to make the necessary changes to the OSPCA Act.

I am writing in response to Val Hemphill’s letter that appeared in the April 26 Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC concerning Bill 47, my private member’s bill.

The letter was written by her on behalf of the Arnprior and District Humane Society board of directors.

I feel I need to correct the errors in the letter and set the record straight. It appears Ms. Hemphil has not read Bill 47.

First of all, animal protection is paramount.

Bill 47 would not have changed or removed any of the animal welfare laws in the existing OSPCA Act. Bill 47 would not have changed the requirement of a veterinarian to report abuse or the emergency powers of warrantless entry to respond to an animal in distress.

OSPCA inspectors would continue to be the first response to complaint calls.

The inspector would have the authority to call a veterinarian who would give his professional opinion on whether or not there was

died in crashes.

The helicopters need 30 hours of maintenance for every hour of flight.

The Liberal party misled Canadians in 1993 when they pretended that cancelling the EH101 helicopter contract would have no effect on the health and safety of Canadians, including those who proudly wear the Royal Canadian uniform.

They are misleading Canadians today about the need to replace 28-year-old fighter jets by pretending they want another competition when it was their decision to go ahead and purchase the current replacement choice, a choice our Conservative Government respected.

The MP for Scarborough-Guildwood and his third party need to stop kicking military procurement around like a political football.

The lives of Canadians are too valuable to keep trying to score cheap political points.

TOWN OF ARNPRIOR’S WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS

Food bank clarifies identification issue To the Editor: Dave Brash is certainly a diverse individual in our community and it was nice to see a story in our local paper about Dave, but I feel one area of the story needs clarification so people in our community don’t get the wrong idea about our local food bank.

Yes, we do ask our clients for ID once per year, but this is to keep our records current and any information provided is kept under lock and key and is not shared with any other community group.

This information is only used in surveys in which we participate in and no names are mentioned.

These surveys help Food Banks Canada address the ever growing need for food banks and

the issue of hunger across our country.

We do not turn anyone away if they don’t have ID; we just ask if they could please bring it next time.

Dave and anyone else who needs emergency assistance can use the food bank anytime as our motto is “to provide food to people in need.”

You will all be happy to know that I talked to Dave this afternoon (May 11) and clarified the ID issue with him.

He understands now and I believe he will use our services when required.

The Renfrew and District Food Bank wishes you all the best with your Diversity Festival.

Arnprior Waste Disposal Site

End of CP line sparks fond memories To the Editor: I worked at the Kenwood Mill for more than 25 years.

As I walked to work on the sidewalk, the train would go by pulling 100 cars with the use of more than one engine.

If I waved hello, the engineer would always wave back.

I saw the end of the use of the caboose.

The engineer was always a man until one

Located at 658 River Road, McNab/Braeside, Ontario

morning I waved hello as the train went by and a younger girl stuck her head out of the engine window and waved back to me.

An old dog lived in his home for many years along the track and when the train whistle blew, he would always emit a very long drawn-out mournful howl to do his very best to match it.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

I am (like so many of my neighbours) a retired senior on a fixed income, and my taxes are high enough, and commensurate with the services I receive from the municipality.

I don’t like “urban creep” any more than does the M-B council, but just like the situation in Nepean and West Carleton, we may delay it, but we can’t stop it.

The urban centres will continue to covet our surpluses that have grown through good fiscal management.

NATURE

May is the month for lovers and fighters EMC lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Currently, spring is alive with colour and motion. Butterflies of every colour are flitting from flower to flower in search of sweet sugar water.

Readers of this column are reporting flocks of warblers flitting through the woods, Bobolinks and Eastern Bluebirds foraging in the fields, and Wood Thrushes adding their melodious voices to the lively choruses at dawn and dusk.

Underlying these pastoral scenes is the drive to reproduce.

Territories have been claimed and from them the owners strive to attract mates and keep out competitors.

Michael Runtz Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way When a male Cabbage White butterfly sees another male fly into his air space, he immediately flies up to give chase and aerial battles rivalling World War One dogfights

for intensity often break out.

Butterflies seldom hurt each other for they lack any real weaponry.

The same cannot be said for birds, however. Bills and claws can inflict serious wounds, and that is why much posturing takes place before real fights take place.

Recently in my backyard, two male Red-winged Blackbirds were feeding on cracked corn scattered on the ground.

They began to sing and puff up their wings, showing off their crimson red epaulettes to each other.

Neither showed submission by folding back the wings and covering up the red feathers with black ones, and soon a

fight broke out. They fluttered up into the air and back down to the ground, grappling with their feet and striking out with their bills. Eventually one gave up and flew away.

Male American Robins often perform equally violent duels, and they will readily and persistently attack their reflection in a window or car side mirror, thinking their image is a stubborn intruder.

Cardinals often do the same.

TENDER MOMENTS

But Nature also has its tender moments. Currently, male Cedar Waxwings are presenting gifts to the females. The gifts are often edible items

such as berries or buds, but apple blossom petals are sometimes used.

The pair sits on a branch, a foot or so apart.

The male hops to the female and gives her the gift.

She then takes one hop away with it.

After a second, she hops back and returns the gift. The male then hops back, returning a second later to give her back the gift. The exchange often goes on for several minutes.

It may well be that the male is demonstrating to the female just how good he will be at providing food for the young.

Male terns also use food as a courtship gift.

They dive headfirst and catch a small fish, which is brought back as a gift for a potential mate.

As both terns take part in raising young, a female would do well by choosing a mate that is a good fisherman.

After all, one good tern deserves another!

This week I am doing a 24hour Birdathon to raise money for bird research. If you wish to sponsor me, details on the event and how to sponsor can be found at: http://www.gifttool.com/aton/MyFundraising Page?ID=1914&AID=1845& PID=283555.

amends over 70 different acts and â&#x20AC;&#x153;devotes an astonishing 150 pages to weakening laws to protect our environment.â&#x20AC;?

The Conservatives claim that this â&#x20AC;&#x153;streamliningâ&#x20AC;? of environmental legislation is so important that it has to be passed right away, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we hear about it until now? Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they campaign on it in the last election? And why are the Conservatives ramming all these changes through Parliament and refusing to break

up the mammoth bill so that all its parts can be properly studied?â&#x20AC;?

Duncan claims the Conservatives are trying â&#x20AC;&#x153;to avoid public scrutiny by cramming major environmental changes into a sweeping â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;kitchen sinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bill.â&#x20AC;? They want to eliminate federal environmental assessments for all but a few projects and do less comprehensive reviews where they still occur, she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to eliminate protection for fish habitat,

despite the fact that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have fish without a habitat.â&#x20AC;?

All of this comes on top of announcements of 900 positions to be cut at Environment Canada, said Duncan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mrs. Gallant and the Conservatives didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t campaign on gutting environmental regulations, yet they are trying to pass them under the radar. Mrs. Gallant needs to come clean to her constituents about her hidden agenda of environmental destruction,â&#x20AC;? she concluded.

Spreading disease endangers three bat species in Canada

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The federal Liberals continue to target Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant.

The latest salvo is from the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Environment Critic, Kirsty Duncan, who in a letter to the editor charged that Gallant has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hidden agendaâ&#x20AC;? to slash protection for the environment.

In the letter sent Tuesday, Duncan pointed out that Gallant voted this week in favour of a 400-page budget bill that

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Government biologists have concluded the rapid spread of White-nose Syndrome is threatening three bat species in Canada.

The unprecedented mortality of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s native bat species poses a â&#x20AC;&#x153;serious and imminent threatâ&#x20AC;? to the survival of each of the species,â&#x20AC;? says a government news release.

A committee studying the issue has recommended the environment minister issue an emergency order to place three bat species, Tri-colored, Little Brown Myotis and Northern Myotis,.on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act. White Nose Syndrome was first identified in a cave in New York in February 2006.

It was discovered in Canada in

the winter of 2009-2010 and is now confirmed in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and is spreading rapidly. It is believed that the fungus is not native to North America, and further human transport may facilitate more rapid spread to western Canada.

White-nose Syndrome interrupts the hibernation of

bats and they quickly use up the fat reserves that get them through the winter.

Infected bats often emerge early from hibernation and are seen flying around in midwinter.

These bats usually dehydrate or starve to death.

The disease has been linked to deaths of more than 5.7 million North American bats.

ADHS boys finish first in high school soccer John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

EMC sports – The Arnprior District High School senior boys soccer team is off to a strong start in Upper Ottawa Valley play.

The Redmen won their first three games, setting up a firstplace showdown May 9 with St. Joseph’s.

Both teams went into the game with 3-0 records, but ADHS prevailed 1-0 to take over first place in the league.

Arnprior then earned a win and a tie Tuesday in a day of soccer action at Riverside Park in Pembroke to clinch first place in the league with a 5-0-1 record.

ADHS opened its season April 26 with a 4-0 win at Opeongo, with Pat Dick scoring twice and Josh Woods and Will Twardek adding singles.

In its home opener May 3, Arnprior blanked Madawaska Valley by the same 4-0 score.

Twardek and Brett Miller tallied two goals each for the Redmen.

ADHS improved its record to 3-0 by shutting out rival RCI 2-0 in Renfrew May 8.

Twardek had both Arnprior goals.

Meanwhile the senior girls soccer team is in the high middle of the pack with a three wins, a loss and three ties.

The Redmen opened their season with a 2-0 win over Opeongo, with Taylor Bissonette and Laura Graham scoring the goals.

On May 3, Sarah Dick gave Arnprior a 1-0 lead, before Madawaska Valley’s Rhea Sabatine scored the equalizer to make the final 1-1.

ADHS tied RCI 2-2 in Renfrew May 8. Graham and Sam Caesar netted the Arnprior goals. On May 9, Arnprior fell 1-0 to unbeaten St. Joseph’s.

The Redmen rebounded by picking up two win and a tie Tuesday in Pembroke.

The games lead into the playoffs set for Thursday, May 24, also at Riverside Park.

Annual Ryan Baskin fishing derby set for June 16 EMC events - The seventh annual Ryan Baskin Charity Fishing Derby is coming up, and organizers are hoping for a big turnout again this year.

Ryan Baskin was a passionate fisherman, hunter, and hockey player who was on a journey to become a conservation officer. Animals, children, and living life to the fullest were also precious to Ryan in this life.

In May 2005 Ryan was rushed to the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic Campus after a serious car accident. He fought for his life in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for a week before succumbing to his injuries: one day prior to his 19th birthday.

The Ryan Baskin Legacy Endowment Fund was created by his family to help provide new equipment and important patient care items in the ICU. The fishing derby is an annual fund-

raiser to create funds for the endowment fund.

One hundred per cent of the donation and registration fees go directly to Ryan’s fund.

The derby has raised over $43,000.

Participants are allowed to fish any body of water. Registration and weigh-ins are at the Arnprior Fairgrounds: 16 years and up - $10; 7 to 15 years - $5; 6 and under – free. Weigh-in ends at 4 p.m. on June 16. Fishing starts after 7 a.m. Pre-register, donate and inquires via email or telephone on June 15 – 4 to 8 p.m.

Trophy and prize for the heaviest pike and pickerel.

Door prizes and more at the fairgrounds. All donations and registration fees go to the Ottawa Hospital’s ICU. Email RyansFishingDerby@ gmail.com or call Len Baskin 613-623-7476, Megan Buckley 613-622-1357, or Carol Barrie 613-623-6018 for more.

Skaters to hold mammography fundraiser EMC events –Arnprior Figure Skating Club member Lisa Daze was determined to organize an event in support of the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital’s Digital Mammography Unit She felt getting the figure skating club involved in a five-kilometre run/walk would help promote the club as well as raise money for the cause.

Club officials agreed and the inaugural Run for the DMU got the green light.

The event, billed as a family outing, will be held Sunday, May 27 on the Arnprior Fairgrounds track. Registration will begin at 9:30 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre community hall, with the walk/run beginning at 10 a.m.

Participants will have a choice of making a donation to the digital mammography fund or collecting pledges for it. For a pledge sheet, contact Linda Daze at drew.daze@ bell.net. Participants will be included in a figure skating draw for $100 off a registration next season.

Coun. Dan Lynch urges seniors to sign up for upcoming games Derek Dunn Derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC sports – With the Senior Games slated for Arnprior for the first time in almost a decade, organizers are worried too few locals have signed on to participate.

“At this point in time our seniors must have all gone to the cemetery,” Coun.

Dan Lynch said at the May 14 council meeting.

The Renfrew County Senior Games provide a venue for all seniors, 55 years of age and older, in the county and the Hastings Highlands/Bancroft area to compete in a variety of activities.

Every eight years Arnprior hosts the games, with this year’s taking place on June 6 and 7 in conjunction with the town’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

Competitions take place at a variety of venues throughout town. Darts and cards are at the legion, bridge at the Christian Education Centre and Nordic walking at the airport. Other events include horseshoes and golf; Arnprior is permanent home to the carpet bowling competitions.

About 300 to 400 seniors typically participate. But as of this week, only 80 have signed up. The hour-long drive from Pembroke could be a factor. Two years ago only eight seniors from town were willing to travel to Petawawa for the games.

Aside from the games themselves, other activities are planned, including a closing banquet where gold, silver and bronze medals are presented to the winners of the various sports and games.

Gold medal winners are eligible to participate in Actifest - the provincial level Games, which are held every second year in even numbered years and in the Eastern Divisional Summer Games.

The district finals this year for gold medal winners is in Brockville.

Lynch is one of the Senior Games’ main organizers and is hopeful, although there is less than a week to deadline, that many more will sign up on the last day.

“Seniors are notorious for getting them (registration forms) in for the last day,” he said. “It keeps the mind active and you get to meet new friends.”

Registration forms are available at Nick Smith Centre or at renfrewcountyseniorgames.ca.

The cost is $15. The deadline is Wednesday, May 23.

Madawaska hockey correction EMC sports In the photo of the Madawaska girls hockey peewee-atom Mustangs team in last week’s Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC, three players’ names were inadvertently left out of the cutline.

Kortney Chaplin and Morgan Virgin were on the left in the second row and goalie Cassidy Murray was in front.

The Mustangs won the Upper Ottawa Valley Girls Hockey League playoff title.

The Chronicle Guide EMC apologizes for the omission.

EMC sports – Rocks won’t be flying down a sheet of ice, but that’s about all that will separate an upcoming lawn bowling event from the popular winter sport of curling.

The Galetta Lawn Bowling Club is hosting a ‘Curling on Grass’ event at its club on Thursday, May 24.

Start time is 6 p.m.

An invitation has been extended to members of the curling clubs in Arnprior, Huntley and Pakenham to come out and enjoy some time on the lawn bowling green. Lawn bowling is played and scored similar to curling. Each bowl is biased to curve in one direction as it proceeds down the rink.

A small white ball called the ‘jack’ (target) is bowled first and like curling, the closest bowls to the jack are counted. No special equipment is required to take part, but participants are asked to wear casual loose clothing and heelless flatsoled shoes.

Members of the Galetta Bowls Club will supply bowls and instructions.

Teams will then be competing in the mini fun “spiel” against teams from other curling clubs. “We hope to have around 45 participants,” said Sue Smith, communications contact for the Galetta Bowls Club. “It should be a fun event.”

Following the friendly competition, snacks will be served and there will be a cash bar. Sign up as an individual or team by calling Sue or Bob Smith at 613-0622-1586 by May 20, or visit www.lawnbowls. galetta.org.

OPP target dangerous drivers on long weekend EMC news – The OPP are pledging to use all resources at their command, including air surveillance to deter aggressive driving on the Victoria long weekend.

Police say they are not only targeting highway drivers, but will also be on the lookout for dangerous ATVers and boaters as well.

This weekend traditionally kicks off the summer driving and cottage seasons, so the OPP expects to see a significant increase in traffic. They remind the public unsafe driving habits will not be tolerated and the OPP plane will be taking to the skies to assist with patrols targeting speeders and distracted and impaired drivers.

Drivers who do not slow down and move over when passing an emergency vehicle (ambulance/fire/police) on the shoulder of the road endanger emergency responders and where possible, will be stopped and charged.

The OPP will also be working with Ministry of Transportation enforcement officers to ensure vehicles are safe, loads are secure and towing equipment is installed and used in compliance with the law.

The long weekend marks the end of Canada Road Safety Week, which runs from May 14 to 21. The goal is to save lives and reduce injuries on Canada’s highways by targeting the major causes of road deaths and injuries, specifically, aggressive driving, impaired driving, distracted driving and failing to be properly restrained.

BOATING SAFETY

This weekend also marks the beginning of Safe Boating Awareness Week and the OPP Marine Unit will be on waterways to help prevent drowning and other incidents. “Remember to wear a certified flotation device and don’t drink and boat.”

Every year more than 100 Canadians die while boating, with the period between May and August accounting for the majority of drowning fatalities.

Police will check to make sure the operator has not been drinking, that there are enough lifejackets on board for all passengers, that the right safety equipment is on board, and that the operator has their ‘Pleasure Craft Operator Card’, commonly referred to as a boating license.

Boaters that still need to get certified can do so online with BOATERexam.com, a Transport Canada Approved Course Provider and the largest boating educator and issuer of operator cards in Canada.

Diversity

Jane Dechert Leading up to the Ottawa Valley’s first Diversity Festival July 7 in Renfrew, organizers invite you to meet some of the many diverse individuals who make up our unique and wonderful community.

Sales Consultant 613-623-3137 x 279 jane.dechert@reidbros.ca

David Shulist Shulist has worked tirelessly to promote the Kashub culture and to improve his community.

He has devoted his energies to the development of the Heritage Park in Wilno, Canada’s first Kashub settlement, and the restoration of the Opeongo Heritage Trail, which was largely responsible for bringing the first settlers to the Madawaska Valley area.

FESTIVAL

The Festival kicks off Friday, July 6, with Dragon’s Breath, a theatrical performance at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church and the festival is Saturday, July 7, 9 a.m.- 4 p.m., at Renfrew’s Low Square.

Dragon’s Breath closes the event with another showing 4-6 p.m. Dragon’s Breath premieres June 30 at 7 p.m. in Almonte at the Old Town Hall Auditorium.

“Renfrew County is so diverse and so multicultural and this is a great time to celebrate that,” said Madawaska Valley Mayor David Shulist.

Shulist is well-known locally as Johnny Kashub and on a broader stage for his work with the Kashubian Heritage Society, promoting local Polish-Kashub culture and forging ties between Wilno and the Madawaska Valley and officials and cultural activists in Poland, particularly in the Kaszëbë province.

“The Diversity Festival is a great idea,” says Shulist.

Having just celebrated Kashub Day, a celebration of the culture, he says it is important to recognize what makes each of us unique.

Wilno and Shulist just hosted a very special visit from Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

“He’s the first Kashub to ever be elected to Polish office,” said Shulist.

“As far as diversity goes, when you become Canadian and you’ve been here

for years, it’s important to remember where you came from,” said Shulist.

Shulist is a fifth generation Canadian and says that years ago promoting cultural diversity just was not done.

In fact, he did not grow up knowing he was Kashub, but learned later about his culture and his people.

“We’re proud to be Canadian and proud of our roots,” said Shulist.

An example of promoting the area’s various diverse cultures, said Shulist, is the Opeongo Heritage Cup, a hockey tournament made up of teams from each of four main groups – Germans, Kashubs, Irish and Algonquins.

“It’s really a promotion of our cultures while playing Canada’s game,” said Shulist.

“We accept diversity, we accept multiculturalism,” he said.

For this summer’s Diversity Festival, Shulist will dress in Kashub gear and bring a related information display and hopes to line up a musician known for playing Kashubian favourites.

He will also feature diversity festival committee member Alana Emon on his radio program Radio Kashubi on Valley Heritage Radio in the next few weeks.

CALL OR STOP BY TODAY TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU!

Johnny Kashub, also known as David Shulist, who also happens to be the Mayor of Madawaska Valley, will be at Renfrew’s Diversity Festival July 7 in full Kashub gear.

He has worked tirelessly to celebrate and raise awareness of the Kashubian culture.

Memories held close as butterflies released McNab Public School honours Allison Hapgood with special butterfly event Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC news - ‘Love is like a butterfly. It goes where it pleases and pleases wherever it goes’.

McNab Public School paid tribute to a special friend last week with a butterfly release in memory of student Allison Hapgood, who passed away in 2011 after battling cancer.

“Allison was a model of what it meant to have and display the positive character traits we study at McNab,” said student Alison Forster.

“It has been difficult for the Grade 8 graduating class to look toward the end of the year without Allison. We wanted to remember Allison in her graduating year with a special event.”

Students and staff say Allison’s love of butterflies gave them the idea to hold a butterfly release in her honour.

Among the guests for the event, held last Friday on the school grounds, were Allison’s parents John and Tina and her brother Joshua.

Allison’s grandparents, Doris and Ed Hapgood, as well as family friends and Renfrew County District School Board trustee Norm Hazelwood were also in attendance.

Student Emily Croft said Allison exemplified the character trait on which McNab is focusing: courage.

“She never gave up and was optimistic throughout her treatments,” said Croft.

“She was determined, brave and kept on fighting. She was the definition of courage.

Thanks for teaching us so much Allison.”

John Hapgood said his family were touched to see how much Allison meant to her school and community.

It has been tough for the family since first learning of Allison’s illness.

“She only survived 11 weeks and two days with cancer,” said John.

The support from McNab and the community has meant a lot, he said. “It all helps,” he said.

“This is a good school, a good bunch of kids.”

McNab teacher Lorna Pleau said the day, while an emotional one, was an important one for the students.

“Allison was such a special part of everybody’s life,” said Pleau.

“Today was wonderful for the students. They really took ownership of this project,” she added.

Highway 17 overpass delays send traffic to the backroads Steve Newman

steve.newman@metroland.com

Bridge-construction delays on Highway 17 have resulted in drastic increases in traffic and speeding on Goshen Road this spring.

But Horton council hopes new speed-limit changes make the road a lot safer for residents and drivers.

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION Construction continues on the former CN bridge overpass, with one lane continually closed to traffic and the other lane controlled by traffic lights.

“We’re using innovative

camera traffic vehicle detectors to operate the temporary traffic lights,” to maximize traffic flow, explained MTO official Brandy Duhaime.

“Delays to traffic have been minor to date.”

The first construction phase should be completed by the end of June.

The 2.9-kilometre section of Lochwinnoch Road, from Yantha Road (near Highway 17) north to the former Horton elementary school had no posted speed limit. That meant the actual speed ceiling was 80 kilometres per hour, but that changed following an avalanche of telephone complaints about speeding in recent weeks.

The excess traffic is being blamed on Highway 17 construction repairs the overpass.

SPEED SIGNS At its May 1 meeting, Horton council formally approved 60-kph signs on Goshen Road. The signs are already in place.

Before, there were only posted signs reminding drivers of children playing in the area, over the stretch of road that’s home to 41 residents.

The speed-limit change makes total sense, said Mayor Don Eady, who attended the scene one day, from about 4 to 6 p.m., to monitor traffic.

Algonquins optimistic land claim treaty nearing approval Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

An Ontario Aboriginal land claim hasn’t resulted in a treaty settlement since 1924. But federal, Algonquin and provincial officials are hopeful one will be approved by the Algonquin people next year.

If about 9,000 registered voters, representing 10 different Algonquin groups, approve the agreement in principle, it will still take probably until 2016 for the treaty to be completed and governmentapproved.

Officials say this treaty will consist of the transfer of Crown land, provision of harvest rights, and financial compensation, or what an Aboriginal Affairs fact sheet refers to as “significant capital … which is expected to result in local investment and a positive impact on the regional economy.”

The officials who provided this update May 8 at the Best Western Pembroke Inn were the major negotiators for the Algonquin land claim. The three lawyers are Toronto resident Bob Potts, the principal negotiator for the Algonquins of Ontario, Ottawa-based chief negotiator for Ontario Brian Crane and chief federal negotiator Ron Doering.

The land claim, against Ontario and Canada, is based on the Algonquins of Ontario’s assertion they never entered into a treaty with the Crown, but that they have unsurrendered Aboriginal rights and

Negotiators for the Algonquins of Ontario land claim include chief Ontario negotiator Brian Crane. He makes an observation in front of the eastern Ontario map showing the area from which Crown land transfers will occur. Seated is Bob Potts, chief negotiator for the Algonquins of Ontario. title to 36,000 square kilometres of eastern Ontario.

This territory consists of about eight million acres, of which half is Crown land, including Algonquin Provincial Park, explained Doering.

Any new land would not include Algonquin Park territory, leaving about two million acres from which property could be provided to the Algonquins. Nor, say the negotiators, will any land be expropriated from private landowners.

The land claim represents the most recent First Nations aboriginal group to negotiate for a treaty in Ontario.

“This is the only comprehensive claim in Ontario.

We’ve had smaller claims, usually out of particular treaty settings, with reserves that were taken away over time,” said Crane.

“All the others have treaty arrangements, and reserves in place. But this is the first time there’s been a real treaty negotiation for such a large area

of land.

“In other parts of Canada, in the Northwest Territories and the Yukon and the eastern Arctic, there have been comprehensive claims and there have been settlements.”

As a result of the treaty, the negotiators say no new reserves will be created.

Potts says the treaty, as it now stands, would represent a “win-win-win,” situation in which government, Algonquin people, and other members of the public benefit.

For the people of this area, predicted Potts, the treaty will be a big win because of the influx of economic value and the increased value of the job market in the forest industry.

This treaty, said Potts, is “quite unique. It’s really got a lot of positives. If it’s done properly, and I’m hopeful it will be, it could be a wonderful thing.”

One goal of negotiations, said Potts, is to see the Algonquins more involved in the forest industry.

Generally speaking, land ceded to the Algonquins as a result of the treaty will be subject to property taxes.

“We’re not here to displace; we’re here to work with … and hopefully to have a much more meaningful role in the (forest) industry,” said Potts.

These treaty negotiations have been under discussion since 1991, but more intense and productive in the past six or seven years.

The deadline for applications to vote on the agreement in principle was April 30, 2012. A preliminary list will be published May 30, 2012. Protests about the list’s contents are expected to be resolved by next year.

The Algonquin groups eligible to vote are Pikwakanagan, Bancroft (Kijicho Manito), Greater Golden Lake, Antoine, Bonnechere Algonquins (mostly in Pembroke and Petawawa area), Mattawa/North Bay, Sharbot Lake (Shabotobaadjiwan), Ardoch Algon-

quins (Snimikobi), Whitney and Area Algonquins, and Ottawa Algonquins.

The 16 people who sit at the negotiation table include the chief and council of Pikwakanagan, and representatives of the nine other Algonquin communities.

SECOND UPDATE

The three negotiators also provided a treaty update to several Renfrew County and area municipally-elected representatives and municipal government administrators.

Members of Pikwakanagan’s negotiating team joined the discussion.

A lot of questions were given helpful answers, said two of the participants, Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet and Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon.

Sweet says the presentation helped calm some nervousness about the settlement.

“I thought it was a positive meeting,” said Sweet. “There are still a lot of questions, but to their credit they’re trying to open the door as best they can (during negotiations).”

“It’s a pretty delicate balancing act,” said Emon, “when dealing with traditional and historical rights, private landowner rights, recreational use and the harvesting of resources. What I heard is that they’ve made every effort to try to assist everyone, to continue to manage the use of the land.”

Rhonda Miller, left, and Tammy Lusty are among the 22 picketing along Madawaska Boulevard yesterday on behalf of Ontario Works employees. With escalating caseloads the workers say the county has to solve wage issues and work conditions.

Strike closes Arnprior Ontario Works office John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – While the County of Renfrew Ontario Works is continuing to provide service and money to clients despite a strike by its employees, the Arnprior office has been temporarily closed.

The closure is expected to remain in effect until the labour dispute between the County and members of CUPE, Local 4989 is resolved.

The CUPE members went on strike last Thursday. The County sent out a release Monday with details of its contingency plan put in place to deliver services to those who receive Ontario Works payments.

As the Ontario Works systems are automated, people receiving benefits will continue to receive them, stressed the County. “There will be no break or disruption with benefits or monthly cheques.”

With income reporting statement submission time approaching, Ontario Works is asking recipients to mail in their monthly Income Reporting Statements to either the Renfrew or Pembroke offices, as the Arnprior and Killaloe offices have been closed.

The Pembroke office is open daily on limited hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Renfrew office Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 3 p.m. to serve people requiring emergency social assistance. Should Ontario Works recipients have any questions or concerns, they are encouraged to call their local Ontario Works office. Calls will automatically be forwarded to the Pembroke office at no cost to the caller.

Applications for social assistance can be done online 24 hours a day, seven days a week at the website ontario.ca/socialassistance. If you do not have access to a computer, call 1866-897-4849 for assistance.

Participants can obtain information about their case status or most recent cheque by calling the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) at 1-800-808-2268, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The County of Renfrew release says it continues to remain hopeful an agreement will be reached and thanked recipients and community partners for their patience and understanding during the disruption.

Contract talks between the County and

Your parents helped you cross the street safely, learn to ride a bike and drive a car

CUPE first broke off April 30. After a short return to the bargaining table with a mediator early last week, negotiations again ended, County of Renfrew CAO Jim Hutton, noted the County “has a responsibility to ensure that our employees are fairly compensated for their efforts, and we also have a responsibility to ensure that our services are delivered in a cost effective manner reflective of the economic challenges that we face today.”

CUPE members maintained on May 10 they were left with no choice but to take action following a “disappointing” meeting where the parties were unable to come to a settlement.

“The employer did not come to the table to bargain or to discuss how we can work together to advocate for more funding to support the services we deliver to the residents of the County,” said CUPE National Representative Amy Parker.

“While we remain committed to providing services to our communities, we also remain committed to reaching a settlement that protects those services and the staff that deliver them,” she added.

Ontario Works employees deliver social assistance to about 1,100 clients monthly. Every day, they provide support to individuals and focus on helping them achieve financial independence.

These “social workers” deliver social and employment support services as well as financial assistance while enabling clients to contribute in their community, says the union.

Each month, county residents are faced with new employment challenges. Current economic conditions have seen the number of caseloads Ontario Works employees process increase.

For every 106 clients leaving, the program sees 144 new applicants per month meaning an increase of about 38 clients on average on a monthly basis.

“The province and municipality need to make these services a priority,” said Parker.

“It is unreasonable to continue to ask staff to keep absorbing the impact of funding shortfalls to valuable services in our community. With climbing caseloads, CUPE 4989 members rely on their benefits to remain healthy in order to provide these services and they deserve a fair contract.”

My View From Island View

Expectations So I was giving some thought to expectations or rather when expectations are not met and we feel disappointed, cheated and let down. You know the feeling when you are really looking forward to something special and it doesn’t go as planned.

I don’t know about you but when this happens I can feel so many different emotions all at once. The emotions range from anger and hurt to sadness and frustration.

When these feeling happen sometimes we just want to get over it and get on with feeling better yet disappointment can impatiently hang on and leave us feeling at loose ends longer then need be.

We have all experienced disappointment in so many ways. Not being offered a position you worked so hard to achieve. Feeling let down by children’s decisions when you know they could do so much better. Expecting a special moment to unfold in a certain way and feeling resentful when it doesn’t.

When these expectations are not met the way we expect, it is said we are not living in the moment. We are spending our time in the past or future and not the present.

I decided to explore some strategies for overcoming

KIMBERLEY

O’SHAUGHNESSY Marketing Manager

Island View Retirement Suites

dashed expectations and disappointments.

The first suggestion I came across I didn’t like very much. It was “let yourself experience the feeling and try not to rush through it.”

Kids are very good at this.

They can have a major tantrum, get it all out, and return to feeling happy and content again very quickly.

It’s ok to just sit with the feelings, let them run through you and not allow yourself to be rushed through them, yet most of us want to hurry up and feel better.

The second suggestion implies that when you have let yourself experience these emotions you will be better able to “gain some perspective.” Perhaps the person responsible for your disappointment doesn’t even know they have done something to upset you. Maybe the situation was just an unavoidable circumstance. They too may be experiencing stressful moments or simply had a bad day.

The third suggestion is knowing you have a choice in how you respond. You

can choose to be upset by what was done or you can choose to “remain calm in the storm.” I like this suggestion because it means we all have control to respond in the best possible way.

Acceptance of the situation and knowing disappointment is a part of life is the other suggestion. We will continue to disappoint others and they will disappoint us.

We are all human beings. If we can practice acceptance we will suffer much less.

Discontent, expectations not met and disappointment are a part of life, but all parts of life can help us grow. If we can be present and aware even in the midst of these emotions we can choose to live life more completely.

Straw mattresses didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always mean poverty What you sleep on certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a subject you could easily bring up in the school yard EMC Lifestyle - Goodness knows, I was used to sleeping on a feather mattress.

That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean I went all over Northcote bragging about it. My sister Audrey said only poor people used feathers, because feathers were free.

My little friend Joyce slept on a mattress that was tufted and about six inches thick.

Pink with blue ďŹ&#x201A;owers.

What luxury! There were no feathers in Joyceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mattress.

If I complained to Mother about the differences in Joyceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mattress and mine, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to tell me we were lucky to have feathers.

She knew some farmers who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise enough chickens to get the ample supply of feathers needed to ďŹ ll a mattress.

And they certainly couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford a felt mattress, like my friend Joyce slept on!

What they used was straw! I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe anyone in the entire Northcote area actually slept on straw!

When I approached Audrey

about it, she said Mother was right...there were indeed people, neighbours in fact, whose mattresses were stuffed with straw.

It certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a subject you could easily bring up in the school yard, even though I was dying with curiosity. found myself looking over the girls at the Northcote school, trying to ďŹ gure out just who was poor enough to sleep on straw, but was never able to single out one person who I thought couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even afford enough chickens for feathers!

Well, the riddle was solved for me one day, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do a thing about it other than accept an invitation from Gracie to spend the night at her farm on the next line.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t at all unusual for us at the Northcote school to be invited to stay at one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home for a night.

I never liked to be away from my mother, not even for a night, but if the neighbour lived close enough, and they had a horse and buggy just in case I had to come home through the night from home-

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories

BY MARY COOK

sickness, I was willing to go for the overnight visit.

BIG FAMILY

Gracie lived in a log house just like ours. She too, came from a big family, went to the same church we did, and her brothers and sisters all went to the Northcote School.

That day, along with my lunch and book bag, I carried to school, a brown paper bag with my pyjamas and clean underwear in it.

You would never dream of going anywhere overnight without clean underwear! It was like going to church in your bare feet!

Gracieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen table was longer than ours, and it needed to be to accommodate all the brothers and sisters. But

like ours, had two benches on either side instead of chairs.

The table was amply laid, and like us, not a morsel was touched until Grace was said, after which there was the greatest commotion as each of Gracieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brothers made a stab for a pork chop from a plate that was stacked sky-high.

Gracieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother slapped the brother closest to her, and her father did the same with the brother at his elbow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you see we have company?â&#x20AC;? he roared.

I looked at the table piled high with food, and I decided then and there, Gracieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of the poorest in the Northcote area. With that many hands, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long to red up the kitchen.

The whole family settled down to playing board games,

whittling, looking through Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue, and Gracieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, just like mine did every night, pulled up a chair to the cookstove, pulled down the oven door, propped up his feet, and got into reading the Family Herald and Weekly Star.

I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure how it was arranged, but Gracie and I had a bed to ourselves.

That probably meant that three of her sisters had to sleep together.

When her mother rolled down the top quilt, and Gracie and I plopped into bed, I quickly learned what a straw mattress felt like!

There under the ďŹ&#x201A;annelette sheet, making sounds just as if we were playing in the hay loft in the barn, I came face to face with my very ďŹ rst straw mattress!

I was sure I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shut an eye all night. I wondered if it was clean.

How many horses or cows had been bedded down on it before it was brought into the house and packed into a ticking? But it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smell like

straw, or hay.

There were fresh sheets on the bed with that wonderful outdoor smell I was used to at home.

The pillows were made of feathers, for which I said a silent prayer of thanks.

When I was taken home the next day in the buggy, there were no signs that Gracieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family was poor.

Her father smoked a pipe just like mine did. And the horse was fat of rump, which Father always said was a sure sign of a well looked-after animal.

No, there was no sign of poverty anywhere. And they had a telephone long before we had one. So why were they sleeping on straw mattresses?

My sister Audrey, always my main source of information, said she was sure it was because Gracieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was so busy having babies, she never did have enough time to pluck chickens, wash feathers, and stuff mattresses.

At that young age, it all made perfect sense to me.

OAS changes on the way

PEN PALS MEET

EMC lifestyle - A number of Canadians aged 54 and under will be affected by changes to Old Age Security (OAS) announced in the federal budget. In 10 years the age for OAS eligibility will rise from 65 to 67.

OAS beneďŹ ts are currently paid to Canadians aged 65 and over; individuals can receive up to a maximum of nearly $6,500 per year based on meeting residency requirements.

According to a report by Harris Decima commissioned by the BMO Retirement Institute, 32 per cent of Canadians aged 25-54 will rely on OAS, the Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) and the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) as their primary source of retirement income. Tina Di Vito, Head of the BMO Retirement Institute, advises Canadians to adopt a long-term approach to saving for retirement and understand the right tax strategies to maximize old age security beneďŹ ts.

FOOD

Three ingredients are all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed for this salad EMC lifestyle - This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe is for a simple three-ingredient salad that features a colorful, tasty combination of spinach, avocado and strawberries.

Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick and convenient to use a bottled salad dressing, you may want to make one of the following dressings for the salad.

Both are quick and easy to prepare.

The Roquefort dressing can be made so that it is either thick and chunky, or smooth and creamy. The raspberry vinaigrette dressing is light and has a slightly sweet ďŹ&#x201A;avor.

The recipes for the salad dressings may make more than what you will need for this salad.

Store any leftover dressing in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Springtime Avocado and Strawberry Salad for Four 1 large bag of fresh baby spinach 10-12 fresh strawberries, sliced (or more if you like) 1 avocado, peeled and cut into small, bite-size pieces Your choice of salad dressing This salad is best pre-

Food â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Stuff PAT TREW

pared just before serving.

With baby spinach, I like to remove the stems and tear any large leaves into bitesize pieces.

To prepare the salad, ďŹ ll a salad bowl with the spinach, then arrange the strawberry slices and avocado on top.

You can either drizzle the dressing lightly over the salad, or let everyone serve themselves at the table.

Homemade Roquefort Dressing 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (Roquefort) 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tbsp. sour cream 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk For a chunky texture, mix the ingredients with a fork.

For a smooth texture, use a food processor. The thickness can be varied by the amount of milk you add.

To prepare the dressing, combine the cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream in either a bowl or a food proces-

sor. Gradually stir or blend in the milk until the dressing reaches the desired consistency.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing 1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil 1/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup raspberry vinegar (or Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice raspberry-ďŹ&#x201A;avored red wine vinegar) 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. onion powder 1/4 tsp. dried basil To make this vinaigrette, use a container, such as a small Mason jar, that has a tight-ďŹ tting lid.

Combine all the ingredients in the jar.

Close the lid tightly, and shake well.

If you are making this ahead, just before serving, shake the dressing again.

Makes about 2/3 cup

FLAG OF THANKS

Mel Porter, left, and Yvon Ouellet display a flag Denmark created for Canada. The flag is in appreciation of Canadian troops’ efforts to secure the country’s freedom from Nazi Germany near the end of the Second World War. It was unveiled at the site of the new tulip garden, at Legion Park, across from John XXIII Catholic School on May 11.

TERRIBLE BEAUTY

Photo by Derek Dunn

The Royal Canadian Legion branch 174 recently planted 100 “Red Liberator Tulips” at Legion Park near John XXIII Catholic School. The garden commemorates the 7,000 Canadian troops, many of the teenagers, along with the many more thousands of Danes who suffered and died at the hands of Nazi troops during the Second World War. Tulips are a beautiful flower, but at the time Danes grow them to eat, having little else for sustenance. Legionnaire Ted Graham, largely created for spearheading the project, hopes to extend the garden year after year.

SECOND SECTION

Human resources expert share tips to improve bottom line Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Whether you are a prospective employee or a prospective employer, Dr. Denis Cauvier – a world renowned authority on hiring practices – has a lot to share on human nature, motivation, and money.

“The first week on the job is critical to set the tone, for both the employer and employee,” Cauvier said.

“It’s about reciprocity; just as you are keen to give a good impression, the company needs to be the same.”

Cauvier is a professional speaker appearing before audiences in 47 countries - far more than his peers in Canada and abroad - and has saved companies millions of dollars in human resources (HR) along the way.

He is an international bestselling author of eight books with over one million copies sold.

An expert who has appeared in America’s top newspapers and television shows, the Ottawa Valley resident is a pioneer on a philosophy that encourages clients to invest wisely in HR. He maintains that doing so will reduce the time and cost of hiring, increase productivity levels, reduce employee turnover, enhance customer satisfaction, improve sales, and increase profit.

MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING INFANCY

It all makes for great selling points to prospective clients today; not so much in the late 1980s, before the term “motivational speaker”

was coined, when he was young man struggling to advise business leaders.

Back then they doubted he had the experience to teach anything. Cauvier knew he had some convincing to do, beyond pointing to his business degree. So he turned the question back on his audience, asking them how many workers they’ve hired.

Turns out none had his experience in hiring hundreds of people, despite their many years in business. General experience was no match for specific experience.

That’s the kind of insights Cauvier uses when discussing the art of business. At other times he relies on his general experience. Over the course of a fascinating career, Cauvier has: • worked in the middle of the savannah in mud huts with no electricity as an economic development consultant to an African king; • facilitated strategic planning sessions with an Arabian sheikh; • flown on a $60-million private jet for several days exploring the concepts of business success and financial freedom with Paul Orfalea, founder of Kinkos; • sat with First Lady Hazel Manning at St. Ann’s, the official residence of the prime minster of Trinidad and Tobago, discussing leadership and youth self-esteem issues; • led a paintball team in a jungle as part of a CEO leadership retreat in the Philippines.

Another example of specific experience has to do with confidence. The truism that says “hire for attitude and train for competence” more or

would hock at future speaking engagements. And the circle would continue.

The point being that a business – Cauvier owns three businesses – can make money in many ways, even by starting out in a very indirect way.

For 23 years Cauvier’s made a living doing what he loves.

Quyon Ferry modernization project launches next week Theresa Fritz

eral and Quebec governments, are hosting an official kick-off for the ferry modernization project next Friday, May 25.

The event will begin at the Mohr’s Landing dock on Ferry Road in Fitzroy Harbour and will cross the Ottawa River to the Lions Club hall in Quyon.

Once at the Lions Club hall, the project will be outlined and questions will be answered.

McColgan’s plan calls for replacing the two current smaller ferries with one larger ferry that has a much larger capacity.

The current ferries can transport seven vehicles each while the new one will be able to carry 21 vehicles

theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news – Eight year ago, Don McColgan envisioned a plan to expand and modernize his Quyon Ferry operation. And next week, that project will finally get underway.

“I would have never gotten into it had I known it would take this long,” McColgan said..

There have been a few false starts for the project along the way, and hundreds of thousands of dollars spent, but now it looks like it is ready to hit the water.

The McColgan family, along with the board of directors of the Mohr’s Landing and Quyon Port Authority and funding partners from the fed-

at one time, including tractor trailers and farm machinery.

The ferry will move from being a propeller ferry to a cable ferry.

There will also be upgrades to the landing ramp on the Quebec and Ontario sides of the river.

“We are going to be totally electric,” McColgan says of the new ferry operation, adding there will be a back-up generator on the ferry at all times.

“We are going to be getting our Hydro from Quebec,” McColgan laughs, referring to the cheap, government-subsidized energy available in the province.

While the total project will be reviewed at the kick-off next week,

McColgan says it has been a long time coming.

Dealing with various levels of government – both in Ontario and Quebec – as well as the federal government has proved stressful and time-consuming. And then there is the cost.

“The Environment Impact Assessment cost me $100,000 alone,” he admits.

“I had way too much invested in this to walk away.”

Knowing all too well not to rely on timelines, he is hopeful by this time next year there will be a new ferry in the water.

“We are hoping to have it done by April 15 of next year. It (ferry) takes

nine months to build,” McColgan explains.

While there will be “a lot of finishing touches” required before the first vehicle boards the new ferry, McColgan knows it will go a long way to improving the valuable transportation link between Ontario and Quebec. The ferry is currently in operation between April and November and has been run by the McColgan family for more than 100 years.

“It (new ferry) is going to be big on both sides of the river,” McColgan concludes.

‘Human resources, not inhuman resources:’ Denis Cauvier Continued from 33

They mirror the customer base.

“Your core values should be a brand extension,” he said. “Because like-minded people will come.”

Those are companies using best practices. A large Alberta-based meat production plant was using worst practices before Cauvier stepped in.

The province was experiencing a significant labour shortage in 2007 (Tim Hortons paid $13.75 per hour). The meat packing industry works on razor sharp profit margins. But with a 68 per cent turnover – 548 employees out of 800 – revenue was evaporating. It cost $2,248 to train and ready a worker, which translated to $1.3 million in losses.

“They said ‘Help.’”

Cauvier did the reach and found out 90 per cent of the turnover happened in the first 30 days on the job.

Morale was horrible, too, thanks to policies such as promoting within based on tenure – not on merit or willingness to become managers.

The welcome committee consisted of a safety policies movie and an operations book to study.

The company was failing to reciprocate, and employees were taking note.

Cauvier convinced the company to institute a vetting process for promotions, training programs for supervisors, new job descriptions and standards, and a guarantee that the past would remain in the past. A year later, in 2008, turnover was at 11 per cent. Losses totalled just $200,000.

“They were very happy. Absenteeism was down, safety was up. Morale was up,” he said.

“It’s humane resources, not inhuman resources.”

He added that many people spend more time with co-workers than family members. It’s important to be firm on issues, not on people.

YOUNG PRESIDENTS ORG.

It’s been a long journey for Cauvier.

When he was starting out in the business world, human resources issues were “looked down on.” It was a division for loyal employees, a reward, a pastureland. Now it is taught in universities and has proven to better the bottom line.

There is a respect for the theories and prac-

tices around HR. And Cauvier is among those who brought about the change.

Among the most prestigious business groups in the world is the Young Presidents Organization, with a membership of 19,000 worldwide.

Only CEOs of companies with $50 million profits can apply.

To speak before the group is analogous to a politician speaking before the United Nations general assembly.

When they invited Cauvier, they said he was the top expert on human resources on the planet right now.

“Just to do a chapter event in Ottawa would have been an honour. But the global leadership Summit? A little lad from Arnprior?” he said.

“For this organization to come calling – it was a big deal for me.”

WE DID IT!!!!

Thanks to the support and the participation of families from across Renfrew County, the 2012 Hike for Hospice was an overwhelming success, surpassing our $50,000 goal with a final tally of $52,545 and more money still coming in!

This years’ theme “IT TAKES A TEAM” was embraced by families and friends who came decked out in team shirts, hats and even decorated dogs! The weather was beautiful, the facilities immaculate, and the inspiration from the memories of families and friends overwhelming!

This event could not happen without the time and energy of countless volunteers. A special thank-you to the Hike for Hospice Committee, who have been working since January to get this event organized.

A very special thank-you to the Renfrew Presbyterian Church and the Town of Renfrew for allowing us to use their facilities, Renfrew Agricultural Society for allowing us to borrow tables and chairs for the event, and Home Hardware for the use of their trailer to use as a stage.

Thanks to Brian Stokes for setting up all the equipment and furniture and delivering it back at the end of the event. Thanks also to Ellen Stokes for the beautiful memory book that will be a great reminder for us all of the 2012 Hike.

Thanks to Marci Joyce and her volunteers from RBC who once again, took all pledges, did all the book-keeping and revealed our final totals, Glen Kelsey for his inspirational singing and Leo the Lion for entertaining the kids!

We were fortunate to have local broadcasters Jamie Cybulski and Sarah Freemark on stage to MC the event, and also Ultimate Fitness for getting everyone warmed up.

Thanks to the Renfrew Fire Department for bringing over the vintage fire truck and to our local OPP for doing a great job of traffic control.

The Hospice Renfrew Baking committee made all the muffins from scratch…thank-you to Connie Watchorn for setting up and organizing the refreshment table and Valerie Dick and her group of volunteers for looking after t-shirts and tickets.

Thanks to Al Utronki’s sales for donating a 51” plasma TV and The Prior Sportsbar for donating a team dinner!

Thanks Barb Westgarth and Helen McGregor for the website, promotional materials, and brochures used for our Hike. Thanks also to the local media and newspapers for promoting this event.

A special thank-you to our corporate sponsors, especially MYFM and Custom Printers for taking the lead in organizing this major fundraising event.

All money raised by the Hike for Hospice remains in our community to offset operational costs of the Hospice and allow us to keep our care completely free of charge. The people of Renfrew County are very generous! We hope to see you all again next year!

You never said I’m leaving, You never said good bye, You were gone before we knew it, Any only god know why, A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, That no one could ever fill, It broke our hearts to lose you.

But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home.

As long as our hearts remember, As long as our hearts still care, Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never part with those we love, Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re with us everywhere.

Memories donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fade, they grow deep, For those we loved, but could not keep.

We hold you close within our hearts.

And there you will remain, To walk with us throughout our lives, Until we meet again.

Gone but not forgotten.

He walks with us down quiet paths.

And speaks in wind and rain, For the magic power of memory, Gives him back to us again.

Still in memory you are still with us, As you always were before.

It’s May again, and year number nine.

And though we seem to be doing just fine.

Our hearts still ache when we remember that day The phone call, the panic, “we’re on our way” Your friends were amazing Your co-workers the best As life’s worst nightmare came to give us the test Though life can be hard, You always would say, Don’t worry…relax…live life for today, So I try to remember those words in my head The important things in life…is what you said…

It’s family and friends, and trying new things It’s forgiving and forgetting And dealing with whatever life brings You’ll never be forgotten, I promise you this You live on in my heart, so I let you go with a kiss Missing your smile Karen, Family & Friends.

To save lives or perhaps to be an 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 you can ever know.

You could never be replaced...
