To the frustration of local OPP, it appears many motorists aren’t adapting their driving habits to the seasonal congestion and construction on area roadways. Despite several recent serious collisions, including one fatality, and ongoing construction on Highway 17, drivers continue to put themselves and others at risk by disobeying speed limits, a recent OPP safety blitz indicates. After a worker was killed April 25 just west of Arnprior, OPP issued an appeal to drivers to exercise caution in construction zones. The OPP also conducted a oneday blitz on Highway 17 near Arnprior recently, handing out more than 40 tickets. They are out in force on area highways and roadways this week seeking to encourage safe driving during Canada Road Safety Week (May 17-23). The week wraps up with the Victoria Day long weekend, which can be deadly on area roads. The OPP points out the majority of fatalities on local roadways are caused by four factors: lack of seat-

belt use, aggressive driving (speeding, unsafe lane changes, etc.), drug or alcohol impaired driving, and distracted driving. “Everyone has a responsibility to be accountable for the decisions they make while driving,” stress police. “Ensure we all arrive alive. Drive with care especially as our roads get busier with increased summer traffic and construction delays.” OPP are hoping that this week’s enforcement will not result in a repeat of the blitz in late April. “A snapshot of one day’s charges on Highway 17 recently by the Highway Safety Division of the OPP revealed numbers some may find shocking,” says an OPP press release. On Wednesday, April 27, several OPP officers conducted traffic enforcement on Highway 17 in McNab-Braeside. Efforts were concentrated in but not limited to a construction zone west of Arnprior, the same area where the construction worker was killed and another seriously injured April 25 when an SUV crossed the centre line and struck them. See MADAWASKA, Page 2
A driver was charged after a twocar collision last Friday morning in the construction zone at Highway 17 and Campbell Drive. The crash was close to the site of the fatal collision in April. OPP report that a 23-year-old woman from Whitewater Region was charged with failing to yield after she crept out of Campbell Drive in a Honda SUV to get a better view of oncoming traffic and collided with a westbound Toyota about 9:25 a.m. OPP attended and an ambulance was called as a precaution. The drivers were shaken up but apparently did not suffer any major injuries.

Madawaska work to start May 24 Continued from front
During the one-day blitz, OPP charged two drivers for stunt driving (going 143 and 146 in 90 km/hr zone) and issued 39 provincial offence notices. They included 27 speeding, four seatbelt, two cell phone, one open alcohol in a vehicle and five other Highway Traffic Act charges. “The Renfrew OPP and OPP Highway Safety Division remain committed to traffic safety,” said Acting Insp. Steph Neufeld, East Region manager of traffic and marine. “Traffic initiatives such as this demonstrate there is still a lot of work that needs to be done when it comes to high risk behaviours that place drivers, passengers and other road users at risk. Our continued focus will remain on the ‘Big Four’ (of) impaired driving, distracted driving, aggressive driving as well as failure to wear seatbelts.” A driver was charged after a two-car collision last Friday morning in the construction zone at Highway 17 and Campbell Drive. The crash was close to the site of the fatal collision in April. ROAD CONSTRUCTION
The exits off Highway 17 at Campbell Drive were closed for four days this week to allow for road work on the ramps. Campbell Drive was scheduled to be re-opened at 6 p.m. today (Thursday). The OPP are urging drivers to give them-
selves a little extra commuting time during road construction. Several road construction projects in and around Arnprior have begun or are about to begin, so there will be temporary detours and road closures that will increase travel time. “Consider alternate routes for your travel,” advise OPP. “Motorists are reminded that speeding fines are doubled in construction zones where workers are present.” The Arnprior downtown revitalization project has motorists taking different routes around the downtown. The County of Renfrew has announced work on Madawaska Boulevard from Connifer Lane to 120 metres west of Jack Crescent (1.7 kilometres) will begin Tuesday, May 24. During construction, the road will remain open to traffic but will be reduced to one lane at times with minor delays. “Please drive carefully and obey the posted speed limits,” says the county. The county will also be undertaking a rehabilitation of Claybank Bridge on White Lake Road beginning in June. Preliminary work is currently underway in the vicinity of the bridge and the speed limit in the area has been reduced. As well, the work on the four-laning of Highway 17 is intensifying west of Arnprior with flagmen stopping traffic at times. Motorists are warned to give themselves more time to travel between Arnprior and Renfrew or take an alternative route.

Arnprior museum damage adds up to over $200K Derek Dunn
Derek.dunn@metroland.com
Damage last winter to Arnprior’s most recognizable building totalled hundreds of thousands of dollars, town council has learned. Arnprior and District Museum curator Janet Carlile presented a report detailing the Feb. 13 flood. A water break occurred at a fire hydrant on Madawaska Street, sending a steady stream against the wall and into the museum’s basement. “The break was caused by wood, which was left under the (fire hydrant) lead at the time of construction rotting away and no longer providing support,” reads the report. The $200,000 in damages will be covered by insurance. So will the loss of artifacts. Only the $10,000 deductible will cost taxpayers. Carlile detailed other losses, including business hours, 10 weeks without staff and volunteers. “The volunteers might volunteer elsewhere. We’ve lost 700 hours of manpower,” she said. “That’s been quite a devastating thing to us.” The Arnprior on the World Stage was set to open, but was delayed. An exhibit replicating the postmaster’s office in the 1930s won’t go ahead this summer.

Town property values increase by $13K Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The average family home in Arnprior has increased in value by $13,000 since 2012. Ross Jeffery of Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) spoke to town council May 9. Every four years, including 2016, owners receive a mailed notice detailing their property’s valuation. They should arrive about May 24. Jeffery said MPAC is working to improve communication and reduce challenges to
their valuations. Last time, of five million properties, three per cent disagreed with the assessment. He also explained the new early disclosure and consultation process. When the notice arrives, he suggests people ask themselves if they could sell their property for the listed valuation. If so, keep the number in mind. If not, request a reconsideration at aboutmyproperty. ca. The website lists property details for your neighbourhood, along with market trends.
Jeffery described home prices in Renfrew County as “flat” with Arnprior doing a little better. The county increase was 1.1 per cent for “overall residential” and Arnprior’s was 1.2. Town waterfront properties increased by $11,000. Mayor David Reid pointed out that just because property values increase that doesn’t mean municipalities see their revenue increase by the same amount. CAO Michael Wildman credited MPAC with a “significant” improvement on communications with the town.

Downtown turned upside down Work crews were busy installing new water mains in front of all units along John Street in Arnprior on May 11. Traffic was down to one lane and the noise and dust thick, but at least some affected say it is well worth it. And long overdue. A brand new John Street should be in place by the end of July. What should become of the old streetlight shades that were such a prominent fixture?

Drinking water receives 100 per cent rating
The Town of Arnprior is delighted that its drinking water system has received a perfect score, the highest possible rating, from the provincial Ministry of Environment and Climate Change for the 2015-2016 reporting period. On Feb. 11, the ministry provided the Town of Arnprior with their inspection report for the Arnprior Drinking Water System. The inspection was conducted to confirm compliance with pro-
vincial legislation as well as evaluate conformance with ministry drinking water related policies and guidelines. In scoring the system, the ministry inspector reviews the capacity assessment, treatment processes, operations manuals, logbooks, certification and training, water quality monitoring, reporting and corrective actions, and treatment process monitoring. The inspector identified no risks

Make rail trail decisions carefully
T
he deal has been finalized; now the real work begins. The agreement between Canadian Pacific Railway and the counties of Renfrew and Lanark to buy the corridor that was once the route for trains chugging up and down the Valley is just the first step. Hopefully, it won’t take as long to agree to the best way to use as it did to come to a deal, which has been in the works since the rails were ripped up in 2010-11. However, the counties shouldn’t act too hastily either. Many people assume the corridor will become a multi-use trail. But there are still several details to be worked out. The counties have promised full consultation before they finalize plans for the route. It’s important that everyone be given a chance to have a say. Not everyone wants to see the former rail line be turned into a trail, most notably the landowners living adjacent to it. Some landowners, particularly long-time farmers, feel the land their ancestors gave up for the railway should be returned to the families. Other residents worry that a busy trail along their back yards could cause them inconvenience and even danger (fire, crime). So it’s important that those fears be aired and taken into consideration before the final details of how the route is to be used are finalized.
The last thing wanted is a repeat of the wrangling that occurred back in the late 1990s when the CN corridor was up for grabs. Instead of the counties taking leadership, the buying of the corridor was left up to municipalities, which caused them plenty of headaches. In McNab, for instance, the debate over whether the route should be sold into private or public hands ended up in court. Let’s not have a repeat of that controversy that pitted neighbours against neighbours and caused no end of bad feelings. If the 296-kilometre route is to be turned into a trail, there are other questions to be answered. Will it be available for use by motorized travel such as snowmobiles, dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles? Or will it be limited to more passive users such as hikers, bicyclists, horseback riders, cross-country skiers and snowshoers. Public opinion is likely divided, so it’s important the public speak up and the county councillors listen carefully, whether it be at the public meetings or on one-on-one discussions about the issue. The corridor has the potential to be a major tourist and recreational boon to the Upper Ottawa Valley. To maximize the benefits, it’s crucial the decisions are made carefully and with general approval.
Energy East Pipeline project committed to economic growth, safety To the Editor: In a recently published editorial entitled ‘Be On The Right Side Of History’, (Chronicle-Guide, April 21), the writer makes a number of false assumptions in his discussion about the proposed Energy East Pipeline. Energy East is indeed about making the right choice. That choice is between refiner-
ies in eastern Canada remaining dependent on expensive imported crude oil, or offering the choice to use Western Canadian crude instead. Making Canadian oil available by pipeline in Quebec and New Brunswick means supporting thousands of Canadian jobs and keeping billions of dollars inside our own

national economy. Choosing Energy East is also about saying we prefer to move oil safely and efficiently by pipeline, rather than to stand by as more and more of the oil we all need every day is transported in rail tankers through our communities. Pipelines are the safest and most environmentally respectful way to move oil. We use thicker-walled pipe whenever we cross a waterway or other sensitive area. We employ horizontal directional drilling technology at major water crossings so the pipe is safely placed deep beneath riverbeds. Remote-controlled safety valves are placed in strategic locations to ensure we can shut down the line quickly and minimize any potential damage in the highly unlikely event of a pipeline leak.
Energy East will be equipped with multiple layers of leak detection in order to safeguard communities and the environment. This includes sensors all along the pipeline that measure temperature and pressure. Data are transmitted every 5 seconds by satellite and monitored by our safety specialists in TransCanada’s Oil Control Centre who are on duty 24/7, 365 days a year. If a potential problem is detected, they can shut down the pipeline in a matter of minutes. We also do regular fly-overs and inspections on foot. We work with local landowners so they remain aware of the presence of pipelines and never hesitate to let us know if they spot something that seems unusual.

Un-cooperative weather can’t stop hospice supporters To the Editor: Despite rain, and cold temperatures, the support for Hospice Renfrew at the annual Hike for Hospice was a ray of sunshine! Teams sporting special t-shirts, moms with babies, dogs, even a Cinderella, Prince Charming and Captain America showed up with pledges in hand to hike in support of Hospice Renfrew, raising a record $97,422 with more money still coming in. The theme ‘It takes a team’ was embraced by families and friends who came in record numbers to take part in the hike. Families and friends from across Renfrew County took part in this annual event, many hiking in memory of a loved one who had received care at the hospice. This event could not happen without the time and energy of countless volunteers. A special thank-you to the Hike for Hospice committee members, who have been working since January to get this event organized. A special thank you to our corporate sponsors, especially myFM, for taking the lead in supporting this major fundraising event. A very special thank you to Randy Pender and Mick Brydges of Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre for providing an amazing location for the hike, setting up the facility for our use, and maintaining the hik-
ing trail. Jamie Cybulski of myFM did an amazing job of promoting the hike and as usual did a great job as emcee, thanking our participants and sharing his own hospice story. Thanks to Jamie Bentz, David Smith, Cricket Guest, Emma Schaly and Kevin Bentz for entertaining the kids and adding a special touch to the day. Sophia Decarle, Miss Teen Ontario East 2016, and Daphnie Rose, 2016 Ontario East Ambassador, were also special guests who helped with organizing the crowds. A big thank you to two very special young ladies Meara and Molly Caughey and their parents Ian and Krista for a very popular and successful lemonade stand … in memory of their Grandpa Sam. Thanks to members of the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums band, who despite the drizzle led the hikers out to start the walk. Thanks to Michelle Martin for taking all of our team pictures and her assistant Madison Cobus for capturing candid photos and video clips throughout the day. What a great way to create memories for us. A very special thank-you to Marci Joyce and her volunteers from RBC who once again, took all pledges, did all the bookkeeping and revealed our final totals.

Mental Health Partnerships Benefitting Patients Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) has one of the highest rates of patients with mental health issues who return to the Emergency Department within 30 days of their initial visits within the Champlain LHIN. Some of the mental health issues seen at ARH include depression, anxiety, substance abuse and schizophrenia. A busy emergency room where there is a lot of noise and chaos is typically not the right place to provide the right care to those who have anxiety or dependency issues. Regardless of the health issue; ARH defines quality care as doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, for the right person – and having the best possible outcome. The clinicians at ARH wanted to patients with mental health issues a more appropriate experience by connecting the patient with the right care provider when it mattered most. This need resulted in a formalized partnership with Renfrew County Mental Health and with Pathways Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services. These partnerships allow emergency department staff to contact the appropriate agency depending on the mental health issues affecting that patient. Often times a patient in distress comes to the hospital as a last resort. “Arnprior Regional Health, Pathways Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services and Renfrew County Mental Health deserve recognition for working together and putting in place a new model of care to serve clients better,” said Chantale LeClerc, CEO of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). “One of the Champlain LHIN’s key goals is to ensure more people with mental health conditions and addictions have access to services, and this is a great example of how to achieve that. We need more of these types of partnerships to truly build an integrated health system for the patients we serve.”

Nurses: with you all the way Glass should have been cleaned up To the Editor: National Nursing Week 2016 was celebrated May 9 to 15. The theme this year was, ‘Nurses: With You Every Step of The Way’. Nursing Week is an opportunity for nurses to celebrate our amazing profession, to be proud of what we do, profile our achievements, and have some fun together. The Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) Nursing Week Organizing Committee organized several fun activities, including coffee and muffins, ice cream in the afternoon, dinner at Krave Bistro, pizza evening and two marketplaces. Here’s a bit of history about how it came to be. In 1971, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) designated May 12, Florence Nightingale›s birthday, as International Nurses Day. In 1985, in recognition of the dedication and achieve-
ments of the nursing profession, the Canadian minister of health proclaimed the second week of May as National Nursing Week in Canada. Nightingale is best known around the world as the ‘Lady with the Lamp’ who nursed British soldiers during the Crimean War and turned nursing into a profession. Activist, author
But she was also much more than that. She was an activist, social theorist and author whose advocacy to improve health and sanitation for British Army soldiers, and writings on hospital planning and organization laid the foundation for nursing›s emphasis on social determinants of health today. Nightingale published more than 200 books, reports and pamphlets.
Nursing Week gives nurses across the world the chance to celebrate the work they do to keep Nightingale›s work alive by advocating for policies that keep people healthy, and care for them when they›re ill (RNAO, 2016). I have the privilege of being the chief nursing executive, and supporting the ARH nursing staff on the journey to exemplary care. Our journey includes providing care that is based on evidence and best practices, meeting and exceeding the patient’s expectations of their experience and providing patient and family centered care in all we do. Please join us in celebrating our profession and thanking each other for being such a fantastic group of women and men.
To the Editor: This past winter the Chronicle-Guide reported on the crash of a stolen truck in Robert Simpson Park. The aftermath was much shattered auto glass in several scattered piles all over on the snow-covered lawns adjacent to the public walkway. When I saw that, I placed caution signs on a nearby tree (for winter dog walkers in particular). I naturally assumed someone would perform a clean-up. No. Spring left the glass where it was: 6 or 7 spots, same area. Recently, I spotted three student town workers raking lawns not far away. I went over to point out the dangerous glass zone. They showed little to no interest,
Energy East about reducing GHGs Continued from page 8
And, we will have comprehensive emergency response plans in place in coordination with local first responders. Energy East is about choosing to reduce GHGs associated with the transportation of oil. That’s because Energy East will operate Susan Leach, VP and using electrically powered pump stations, chief nursing executive which means fewer emissions compared with Arnprior Regional Health other modes of transportation such as trains which use diesel fuel. TransCanada is proud to operate billions of dollars in clean renewable energy plants including hydroelectric, wind, and solar power facilities. In fact, we generate enough electricity every year to power 10 million homes in North America with clean, low- or no-emission electricity. We also know oil will continue to play a key role for many years to come. Energy East is about bridging those two facts and making a choice for the future. Energy East is about choosing prosperity for communities across Ontario and across the country.

even when I asked for something to mark the spots (the grass was starting to obscure it). The workers were equipped with a truck, rakes, shovels, etc. Having no tools of my own, I marked all the spots with rocks and piles of twigs so the workers could easily find the glass. I then resumed my walk. Saturday I checked the area to find 95 per cent of the glass still there (only one rock was moved). Sunday, I returned with my own tools, and once again did their jobs. This is a recurring event, nothing unusual. Small children will soon run barefoot there. Does no one care? Carole Grenier Arnprior
that during construction and the first 20 years in operation, Energy East will generate more than $4.2 billion in new tax revenues in the province. When you combine those facts with our commitment to safety and to communities, it is no wonder businesses, unions, municipalities and many others are expressing their support for this project. This is about choosing how we transport the oil we all depend on every single day. Whether it be for fuel to move around, or as a key ingredient in thousands of articles such as cell phones, clothing, car parts and even make-up, Energy East represents a better, safer option. Choosing Energy East is about raising your hand for Canadian energy self-sufficiency over dependency on expensive foreign crude oil. It is about choosing prosperity for the Canadian economy rather than exporting billions of dollars every year to other oil producing countries. It is about a commitment to respecting the environment by bringing together the latest technology and best practices to minimize risks and safely delivering the oil we all need every day.

MP Gallant’s comments indicate her time is expired To the Editor: Back in 2010, when Cheryl Gallant decided to blame the grieving widows of sailors lost at sea for losing their loved ones, Rick Mercer devoted an entire rant about her. Normally you need to be a cabinet minister or someone actually important to get a rant, but Cheryl just needs to say something stupid on record -which as I myself have pointed out she has done time and time again. Mercer claimed that every time Cheryl opens her mouth the collective IQ of the nation drops six per cent and, oh boy, did it drop big this past
week. Not only did Cheryl have to be told by a Canadian Forces officer that Canada does not have stealth fighters (I wonder if it was the same officer who two years ago pointed out the difference between an Admiral and a General which she got confused). Not only that, but in the same week Cheryl decided to accuse the Rideau Institute of having ties of funding to countries like Russia, China and North Korea. This mindbogglingly stupid claim was easily refuted and Cheryl has once again put Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke a
notable name in the national media; for having the most ignorant, wacko for an MP ever elected. She seems to be reliving the red scare 50 years too late and forgets that even those who submit letters to the editor to papers like the Pembroke Observer have the option of listing a country like Russia or Afghanistan as their country of origin. The average term in office for an MP is 10 years and just like that mayo that has been sitting at the back of the fridge for the past 15 years, everything passes its expiration date and starts to smell.
Duffy case shows you shouldn’t rush to judgment To the Editor: When Mike Duffy was first charged with 31 counts of bribery and “intent to commit fraud,” a homeless person approached Judge Vaillancourt who was trying the case and yelled out, “throw him in jail,” referring to Duffy. The judge did no such thing. He found Duffy not guilty and dismissed all the charges because the crown failed to make their case. Come on, Duffy must be guilty of at least one of those charges; there has to be some evidence. Nope! What the judges ruling proves is that the rush to judgment in the court of public opinion steered and fueled by a news-hungry, headline-seeking, misleading biased media is not only dangerous but ignores the most important concept and principle of our legal system that an accused is presumed inno-
cent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and is entitled to, in the exact words of the judge, “a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal.” In this case, the RCMP, the crown prosecutors, the PMO and Conservative Senators all seemed to be following the instructions from the Prime Ministers Office and Nigel Wright, the PM’s chief of staff, who paid the $90,000 to Duffy, who then repaid the Senate (offering money to a Senator is illegal). The RCMP has yet to tell the public why Mr. Wright was not charged with bribing a Senator - but they were sure in a hurry to charge Mr. Duffy who accepted the bribe. Oh, sorry there was no bribery going on; it was just returning the taxpayers’ money to the Senate. Jim Silye Arnprior
Bill 100 does not force easements To the Editor: I wanted to take a moment to update you on Bill 100, the Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act. Bill 100 has been referred to the Standing Committee on the Legislative Assembly, and we will be holding public hearings on the Bill. The Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act is an opportunity to help protect and improve thousands of kilometres of the province’s trails network while encouraging its expansion As regular readers of this paper will know, there has been some discussion over what a trail easement does or does not do. To be clear, Bill 100 would not compel any land-
owner to provide an easement. As currently drafted, Bill 100 would provide an additional way for landowner and trail organizations to enter into land-use agreements. When our government was developing the Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act, our ministry held consultations with over 250 organizations, including municipalities, aboriginal groups, trail organizations, landowners and not-for-profit organizations. I look forward to continuing debate on this important piece of legislation, and look forward to hearing from the public in committee. Michael Coteau Tourism, Culture and Sport Minister
Even members of the Conservative caucus would happily see her go; including at least one of the current contenders for the Conserva-
tive leadership. I am proud to come from the Ottawa Valley; it is a beautiful welcoming talented and friendly place, but
Cheryl makes us a laughing stock. Brendan Edge Trent University student Arnprior

To the Editor: This is an open letter to Megan Ihrig of the Nature Conservancy of Canada, re. ‘Gillies Grove Trails Cut’ (Chronicle-Guide, May 5). In 2002 and 2003 I worked with Sandy Turner and Todd Farrell (both of NCC) to close several trails in Gillies Grove. The criteria for closure was trails which cut through sensitive ecological areas of the Grove, including low moist depressions such as trail 35 (per map 1; Gillies Grove Trail Map dated Oct. 21, 2003 - NCC) , which leads off Division Street, arching to join with the ‘central trail’ connecting with Ottawa Street. This trail cuts into a wet depression (pictured) and is regularly filled with fallen trees to walk on. Trail 35 also cuts through the heart of Red-shouldered Hawk nesting area 40 feet up in a canopied Beechwood. Also this trailhorsetail, red and white trilliums and the rare drooping sedge. Several new trails have been created off Division Street, including a trail running parallel to Division from the entrance beside the Armstrong property running through a second wet depression and connecting with trail 35. It is disappointing to hear NCC asking for input on closures while at the same time declaring two of the ‘more popular’ trails near Division will remain open. This area of Gillies Grove is also the nesting of Barred Owls and birthing of fawns. It might be worthwhile to research recom-
mended distances for minimal human and dog contact for these birds and animals to consider in trail closures. If we are to preserve biodiversity, some ‘tough’ decisions need to be made. Conspicuous by its absence is any mention of dogs off leash at this public meeting. Speaking as one of a few remaining directors of Save The Grove (The Land Preservation Society of The Ottawa Valley), we would encourage the NCC to enforce its own policy and the Town of Arnprior Bylaw regarding dogs and cats off leash, as this is having a very negative impact on the flora and fauna of Gillies Grove. Along with clear-cutting of the forest next to the Grove (part of the Official Plan), the dogs offleash appears to be negatively impacting the nesting of the Red-shouldered Hawk and ground birds such as Ovenbirds and Black and white Warblers. Ten years ago it was common to see several pair of Ovenbirds nesting in Gillies Grove. Today, we may be lucky to see one pair. On March 7, 2016 we saw a pair of Redshouldered Hawks over Gillies Grove. Unfortunately, as in the past several years they did not nest in Gillies Grove. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources has stated several times the adjoining wetland, brook aquifer are vital to the Grove. What is NCC›s position on this ecological sensitive area?

DAVID REID
Arnprior is checking off some suggestions in the Retail Demand Study, Mayor David Reid said at a recent breakfast forum hosted by an area business organization. Reid said the study, produced two years ago, named various retail and other businesses that could be lured to town. Arnprior is now in the midst of a major renovation project at the shopping centre on Daniel Street; Mark’s and Hart have relocated; and Canadian Tire will relocate to the mall with its new premises will be the second phase of upgrades. Two women’s clothing stores have opened, where the study recommended three. Two speciality stores have opened. Two new restaurants are thriving with at least two more in the works. Reid discussed the openings at the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce’s annual business breakfast, held at the Legion on May 3. Also speaking was Arnprior Regional Health CEO Eric Hanna, and McNab-Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett. The town’s Shop Local pro-
gram started slowly, Reid admitted, but is showing returns. He credits the success to ambitious but attainable plans in place. The updated strategic plan contains goals and key programs in the economic development and marketing area. It played a major role in the downtown revitalization project, which should benefit businesses and attract more. The town’s pay-as-you-go policy, which sees revenue saved until projects can be covered with minimal bank loans and interest payments, works well with the asset management plans, he said. The latter has the town accounting for the full lifecycle of infrastructure such as the water filtration plant. That forces council to began saving early on for replacement rather than face a huge bill in future. This year the town will undergo an “Arnprior-centric” official plan review. The official plan oversees land use and designation. A subcategory includes the parking bylaw that caused a furor when it was learned some new restaurants were paying cash-in-lieu of parking while others were not. Reid wants to revamp it.
ARH and partners to address diabetes Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) will partner with area groups to address diabetes services, Eric Hanna told a business crowd at a recent breakfast forum. The hospital and Grove Nursing home president and CEO was among three speakers at the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce event. Also making addresses at the Legion on May 3 were McNab-Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett and Arnprior Mayor David Reid. They recapped last year’s highlights and discussed this year’s challenges. Hanna talked of health providers trending away from provincial funding pegged to services (money for surgeries provided, for example) toward performance-based funding. The intent is to create incentives for health providers to maximize prevention. Hence ARH is seeking out other groups that may be involved in diabetesrelated services. The aim is to reduce overlap and more effectively address the problem. Diabetes is linked to obesity. See DIABETES page 18

derek.dunn@metroland.com
Mayor Tom Peckett would like the new township offices built next year, but he isn’t convinced it will happen. The township of McNab-Braeside mayor discussed the building, which could include a community centre, with a large business crowd at this year’s Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce breakfast. Held at the Arnprior Legion on May 3, the meeting also included presentations by Arnprior Mayor David Reid and Arnprior Regional Health president and CEO Eric Hanna. Peckett talked about accomplishments in 2015 and challenges in 2016. The plan to build a new township hall, across the road from the current location – near the Perneel building – spans both years. And then some. “I’d like to say it should be built next year, but in politics, as you know, some things can take a lot longer,” Peckett said. “We’ve got a fair bit of work done last year. We have some challenges we are excited about.” The current township offices are too small for the growing number of staff members, he said, joking that his office will
soon be a tent in the yard. Another future project is a reconstructed recreation association centre in Braeside, slated for a new location on the same property. A building underway this spring is a new salt and sand shed in the village. The building committee has two council members and four staffers. The township’s revived economic development committee is run by resident volunteers, primarily chair Lori Hoddinott. Together with Coun. Heather Lang, they are updating the municipal website, developing a branding strategy and working on a new logo. The township is also creating a strategic planning document with a consultant from Queen’s University. A grant will be used for a new ball diamond at McNab Park. It will replace the small diamond lost at Calabogie Road and Highway 17. The land was annexed by the Ministry of Transportation for the highway expansion, specifically a clover interchange. The township bought two new firefighting pumper trucks, including a “mini” to navigate narrow roads in Rhoddy’s Bay and Sandy Hook. LED lights were
also purchased. The streetlight replacement should pay for themselves through hydro savings. Peckett thanked Miller Group twice for its “professionalism and dedication to their point of view” in relation to the costly Ontario Municipal Board. He said it was expensive for both sides, but that the process was necessary to come to a resolution. He was also pleased with the starting of a farmers’ market at the Parnell building on Saturdays last year, and is confident it will grow this summer (it’s scheduled to open for the season on May 21). The mayor also shared a humorous issue. The rural municipality is following Vancouver in creating bylaw to permit the keeping of backyard chickens. Residents are allowed to have six (but no roosters). Peckett also mentioned cooperating with the Town of Arnprior last year for the restoration of service agreements. He talked about benefits for both jursidictions. “I think this is the right direction for our community: McNabBraeside and Arnprior,” he said. “In my opinion we are one community. That’s the way I’ve always looked at it.”
Two years ago Tandra was in a terrible car crash. She suffered a fractured clavicle, damage to her right leg, lacerations to her head, a ruptured ear drum and a traumatic brain injury.

Diabetes higher Farmer concerned with county’s plans in Renfrew county to turn the CP rail line into a trail Continued from page 15
“Obesity and diabetes are higher in Renfrew County than the Ontario average,” Hanna said. “So it’s a question of how can we partner with people to improve the state of our health in our community.” He said a ‘Rural Health Hub’ will open in the Arnprior area, a first in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network region. (Another is offered in the north.) Hanna also discussed employee satisfaction at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital and the long-term care facility. When he arrived some eight years ago, 63 per cent of survey respondents said they were “very satisfied.” The terminology has changed, but today 78 per cent say they are “highly engaged.” “That has a direct impact on patients,” he said. At The Grove, small changes have had a big
impact on residents. Falls have been reduced to 8.1 per cent (or five of 61 residents) when it was learned care providers were picking up laundry at the same time residents were going to the washroom. Laundry staff have taken over that duty, leaving caregivers more time to help residents. At the hospital, staff is getting better at diverting mental health patients to CHEO, Renfrew County Mental Health or Pathways. ARH underwent a rebrand recently. It was important to clearly encompass all that it does. “We are more than a hospital,” Hanna said. He shared a story of the Champlain president, responsible for allocating $2 million in funding in Eastern Ontario, not knowing that ARH runs a nursing home. It also offers community services and oversees a primary health care centre.

When news broke that the County of Renfrew had purchased the Canadian Pacific rail corridor through the Upper Ottawa Valley, there was at least one area resident who wasn’t applauding the move. On April 28, county council voted to buy the almost 300-kilometre decommissioned CP corridor from Smiths Falls to Mattawa, with two other partners. The county is paying $360,300 for its 218-kilometre portion. The line is expected to be eventually developed into a trail; whether use of motorized recreational vehicles, including snowmobiles and ATVs, will be allowed, is still unclear. Hartley Henderson owns more than 100 acres on both sides of Highway 60 in Admaston-Bromley Township. The line runs through one of his fields, and since the rails were lifted, he has farmed the land, alternating corn and beans. His property was brought from the crown in 1864 and the family’s been farming the area for generations. “My grandfather bought it in 1893
and then my father bought in and then I bought it,” he said. He tried to purchase the rail line property after the tracks were removed. “When they lifted the rails, I wrote to the CPR and made an offer on the land on my property, which was $5.52 a lineal foot,” he said. “Apparently that was totally ignored because they didn’t want to sell bits and pieces and I can understand that.” But that didn’t stop him from farming the land. “I have made use of the line after they lifted the rails and the ties and the highway signals and I’m reluctant to give up that right,” said Henderson. “Part of this trail, I’m growing corn on it.” The line cuts right through Henderson’s field. When he learned of the sale, he was not pleased. “I was really annoyed because any money the county paid for the railroad I pay for in taxes,” said Henderson. “I’m of the basic feeling that if you pay for something , you like to own it. There’s going to be a bit of a fight over it.” He’s concerned about the ramifications of a recreational trail running through his field. “I am also concerned
when it comes to ATVs, snow machines, they mightn’t even stay on the trail,” he said. He has had at least one encounter with someone from CP, before the line was sold to the county. “I was told by a CPR employee that I was on private property and would be charged with trespassing if I returned,’ said Henderson. “I had a very negative attitude towards this employee and I didn’t listen to him.” Developing a trail along the line would not only decrease the area he could farm, vehicles and individuals could cause damage to his property, said Henderson. “My concern is people who don’t stay on the trail,” he said. He wonders also about how the county managed to pay the price they did when, to his knowledge, when the railway from Mattawa from Smiths Falls was sold, it was appraised at more than $7 million. What’s his next move? “Wait,” said Henderson. “I was told not to spend too much money legally because the county has got more money than I have,” Will he plant the field again this year? “Yes. I haven’t stopped in the past, I’m not going to stop now,” he said.

Town thanks Pitch-In volunteers, giveaway day up next Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Despite the wet weather, about 30 volunteers pitched in to help clean up public spaces in Arnprior on Saturday, May 14. “We had about 20 people here (at Robert Simpson Park) and another 10 at Atkinson (Street Park),” said Glenn Arthur, director of Arnprior’s parks and recreation department. He and a number of his staff were finishing up the day’s waste collection shortly before noon at Robert Simpson Park after the volunteers had left. “I’m really pleased with the turnout,” he said. “Please share a big thanks to all the volunteers.” Residents began cleaning up around 8 a.m., finishing the task around 11:30 a.m. They collected debris and litter and helped clean up leaf and other yard waste throughout the parks. GIVEAWAY DAY
Arnprior is following up pitch-in day May 14 with giveaway day this Saturday, May 21. The annual event allows residents to put out unwanted, reusable items in decent working condition on the curb with a ‘free’ sign and others take them away. The idea is to have such materials put back into use by those who can do so in-

Items may be placed at the curb anytime after 8 a.m. on Saturday. However, if they aren’t taken by anyone, they must be removed by 8 p.m. that day. Items may include electronics, furniture, tools, lamps, dishes, toys, books, sports equipment and the like.
If items are not taken, the Town suggests owners take the items to a second hand shop, post them on a website or in the newspaper, or ask friends and family if they want them. “If the item is reusable and in good condition, there is likely someone that could use it,” notes the town.

Puppy buyers scammed, fake tax calls continue Local OPP continue to warn citizens to be on guard against fraudsters after a person lost $200 in a fake puppy sale and others continued to get calls from scammers claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. The person who lost $200 did so after responding to a fraudulent ad on a website for puppies for sale in Renfrew. The victim sent a $200 deposit to secure the purchase of the puppy using an e-transfer to the seller. When the victims attended to pick up the dog at the address provided on Peter Street
in Renfrew, they discovered the scam. The OPP investigation revealed the money was sent to a bank in western Canada. Making purchases using local classifieds websites can be successful, but there are plenty of scammers out there, warn the OPP. They urge people to meet the seller in person in a public place if possible. Also, pay with cash and never mail a cheque or wire money to the seller. “Use common sense, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is,” say police. “Remember buyer beware.”
Renfrew-Arnprior OPP note that many people are still receiving calls from someone claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. The caller advises that the person owes tax money and a lien will be placed on their home unless they pay the money immediately. “The Canada Revenue Agency does not operate in this manner,” stress police. “If you receive this type of call, report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or online at www.antifraudcentre.ca.

Emmanuel Anglican’s Fish Fry May 28 ‘The Big Give June 4 to be churches’ For the last few years, Emmanuel Anglican Church has hosted a very successful Fish Fry.Advertised as “all you can eat,” the event has served guests “delicious cod coated in a unique batter and deep fried to perfection.” Added to the menu are all you can eat French Fries, homemade coleslaw, beans and rolls topped off with homemade pie and desserts. Any ‘small fry’ who doesn’t like fish can enjoy a hotdog and French fries. Last year, torrential rains played havoc with the Fish Fry as outside seating was not an option. This year, Emmanuel Anglican Church is offering seating in a large tent to alleviate the chances of a back-up of guests. There will be music and a dessert bar under the trees on the lawn for all to enjoy. Seat-
ing will also be available in the church hall. T ake-out is available also. This year’s Fish Fry is set for Saturday May 28 from 4–7 p.m. Emmanuel Anglican Church is located at 287 Harrington St. in Arnprior.Tickets cost $15 for adults and $7 for aged 10 and under. Tickets are available in the church office on Tuesdays and Thursdays or by calling Marion Muldoon at 613-623-4981 or Charlotte Leitch at 613-864-6910. Tickets go fast for this popular event. There will be tickets available at the door, but organizers suggest guests come early to avoid disappointment. “Please join us for this delicious and fun event. We look forward to seeing you rain or shine.”
gift to ‘amazing’ community We live in an amazing community, wouldn’t you agree? That’s the feeling of local ministers. So in recognition of that fact, and with a desire to contribute to our community, the churches of Arnprior are offering ‘The Big Give’. WHAT IS THE BIG GIVE, YOU ASK.
This is how it works. On Saturday, June 4, churches all across town will be organizing activities designed to give back to the community. There will be garage sales and barbecues;
book, puzzle, clothing and shoe give-aways; delicious desserts; skating at the Nick Smith Centre and more. FREE
And everything is completely free, with no strings attached “We are excited as churches to be able to do this for our community. It’s going to be a great day,” says a news release from the ministers organizing the effort. “Keep your eyes open for further details and plan to drop by and join in on the fun.” REQUEST FOR TENDER RFT #2016-12

Have you ever wondered why you can’t stop your heartburn by just changing your eating habits? Why you suffer from chronic constipation? Why you are prone to recurrent ulcers? Or why you are sentenced with crohn’s or colitis? Nothing is fair in life. And if you just have a little hope left, give yourself a nudge and try our treatment. Healing digestive issues has become one of my specialties over the last decade.
Butter Me Up with its natural skin care products is one of several vendors at the McNab-Braeside Market that opens this Saturday, May 21.
INSIDE
Our digestive process is one of the most interconnected systems within our body. Many organs are involved, all of which intertwined in the process of breaking down an external substance - our food - into something that our body can absorb and benefit from internally - actually something that keeps us alive and thriving. But digestion has also another side - an emotional side. We “digest” ideas and feelings. The “digestion” of stress in our day and age is one of the most challenging ones many people are faced with.
A breakfast from Glendochart Farms is available at the McNabBraeside Market.

is something so revealing, intriguing and potentially challenging, we all have to deal with at one point or another in our lifetime. If we talk about digestion, we commonly refer to our physical digestion of food, which can involve challenges like heartburn or acid reflux, bloating, gas and indigestion, gastric ulcers with burning and pain, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, colitis, crohn’s and more. Now, it would be easy, if food would be the only culprit to change in order to heal our digestive system again. But unfortunately it’s not that easy. Many people take over the counter or prescription drugs to keep the symptoms at bay. Some with success, others are able to reduce their symptoms, but many have reached a point where nothing works. That’s where our Heilkunst treatment comes to the rescue.

Coach recalls historic hockey win 50 years later Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Perhaps Arnprior’s most legendary hockey team won an international tournament in convincing fashion exactly 50 years ago. On faded masking at the top of coach Clayton Pirie’s scrap book it reads: 1966 – North American Pee Wee A Silver Stick Champions. Inside are newspaper clippings about the 10- to 12-yearolds, called Arnprior Legion: ‘Ottawa Nationals, Arnprior Win Silver Stick Berth’ and ‘Good Ambassadors’ and ‘Lions Provide Bus For Hockey Stars’ and ‘Big trip starts five am Friday’. Also in the scrap book are photos of stops along the way, each player in action, receipts, and a Western Union telegram from fans at home that heard the win on CFRA. “We spent the whole year preparing for it. We had to beat 18 teams to qualify,” said Pirie from his home in Pakenham, surrounded by decades of sports memorabilia. “I didn’t realize how good a team I had until we won.” And won without question they did. Three shutouts: 3-0 over Elmira, 3-0 over Cobourg, and 3-0 over Lindsay at the fourth annual tournament in Port Huron, Michigan. Getting to the tournament remains the dream of every kid playing minor hockey in the region to this day. Pirie, whose crystal blue eyes could outtwinkle Paul Newman’s, remembers the players as good kids who were not only smart hockey players but smart students, and good people. “Smart kids made smart hockey players. They’re not all Eddie Shacks. They do everything right; it’s just the way they are.” The scrap book also contains letters like the one from a restaurant owner along the route who wrote, from Scott’s Chicken Villa, “They were truly the best behaved youngsters we have catered to…They are a credit to their home town,
their parents and their hockey club.” Others detail Pirie’s appreciation for the town’s support, and of the team raising community spirit in exchange. He was awarded the town crest from both the host community and Arnprior. The win was significant, but headlines like “Mayor Prentice is proud of Arnprior’s ‘gentlemen’ players and their coach Clayton Pirie” brought the experience to more important level. One of his most precious keepsakes from that year? One of many hockey traditions is the players’ thank you card to the coach. The one in Pirie’s scrap book shows a goofy stuffed beaver surrounded by chewed sticks and reads: ‘A gift from all of us,’ then on the inside, ‘From the whole dam crew!’ That year the team won 60 games, lost three, and tied two. A neat sheet of paper in Pirie’s possession lists every game and score. Coach Clayton Pirie, back row left, is with players Ned McIntyre, Bobby Sadler, Steve Ring, Larry Herbert, Lindsay McNab, The players who won manager Ross Robertson, and Art Egan. Front row from left are Chris O’Neil, Pat McGrath, Leonard “Bucky” Ayotte, Gary Mcthe 1966 Silver Stick are Intyre, Donny Robertson.

Golfers to drive for heart institute, spread tournament to nearby towns Sand Point to host Valley has Heart tournament June 10 Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
There are plenty of charity golf tournaments, but few are more apt than Arnprior’s latest. Golf is about fun, comradeship, and exercise. All great stuff for your heart. Which is why organizers of the new The Valley Has Heart golf tournament knew if they were going to raise money for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, they were going to do at the Sand Point Golf Course. “We know there are a lot of charity golf tournaments this time of year,” said Ed Reid, chairman of the newly formed organization. “This is ideal for the heart institute. We want it to be a model for other communities.” Reid and all members of the group’s executive have experienced a heart attack or other cardiac-related illness. Most received help from the heart institute, too. During Reid’s stay 18 months ago there were six people on the floor from the Valley; three he knew personally. “The heart institute is an extension of our hospital.” Ed Reid “There’s only so much money people can give. And they want to give to their hospital,” he said. “This is their hospital. The heart institute is an extension of our hospital.” Getting word to nearby towns comes in
part by having county and local municipal councils declare The Valley Has Heart week. REGIONAL CONTACT
Organizers have also reached out to media, appearing on CTV’s Regional Contact on May 11 (http://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/ video?clipId=868735} and elsewhere. There is also a website and donation boxes at area businesses. “We are working hard to make the first year a great one, and hopefully others will follow,” Reid said. Along with 18 holes on Friday, June 10 at the course under new management, a dinner in the freshly renovated Greenside Tavern will take place for the 160 golfers. The restaurant offers a spectacular view of the Ottawa River. About 120 supporters will be there just for the dinner. Prizes, live music and dancing, auctions, a 50/50 draw (to take place in September) and more will round out the day. Tickets cost $100 for green fees, a cart, and dinner. Join the dance only for $50. Volunteers are welcome. The target is to raise $60,000 for the heart institute. For more log onto thevalleyhasheart.com or contact Reid at edreid40@gmail.com or at 613-282-2371.

Knights of Columbus, represented by Bob Coyne, donated $300 to The Valley has Heart, an organization raising money for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Ed Reid is part of the fundraising group. He would like to see communities across the valley hold golf tournaments similar to Arnprior’s June 10. Reid said the heart institute is the region’s primary cardiac care provider. 30 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, May 19, 2016

Arnprior Legion puts its Poppy funds to good use
The Arnprior Legion disperse $19,000 in Poppy Campaign money to Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) and Arnprior-BraesideMcNab Seniors at Home recently. The organizations were chosen as recipients as both provide valuable services to veterans and their families.
“It goes to show that anytime a resident buys a poppy, they are helping their community,” said Legion president Harry Hereford. “I can’t say enough about the people of Arnprior,” said poppy committee chairman Brian Kilby. “For a small community, they really came through for us.”
“We really appreciate the support from the community. It was outstanding … particularly in the past two years,” added the Legion’s veterans services officer Mel Porter. ARH Partners in Caring representative Karen Smith, who gratefully accepted the donation, told
the Legion members the money would complete a fundraising drive to acquire a colonoscopy scope for the Arnprior hospital’s operating room. A delighted Seniors at Home executive director Dennis Harrington said the money will help the Care Coach continue to pro-
vide transportation for veterans and their spouses. The Legion also provides scholarships and bursaries for local students, supports the army cadet corps and holds special events including a veterans dinner during Legion week and the Nov. 11 Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Professional rodeo coming back to Arnprior June 11-12 Professional rodeo is returning to Arnprior. Last year’s Arnprior Stampede was so successful, the the Arnprior Agricultural Society will be hosting the second annual Arnprior Stampede Saturday, June 11 and Sunday, June 12. More than 350 cowboys and cowgirls representing five different countries including Canada, Mexico, the United States, Brazil and Australia will be competing in the season’s first official tour stop of the International Professional Rodeo Association. Spectators will be in for an exciting rodeo weekend, including camping, concessions, vendors, live music, rides, beer gardens and live professional rodeo. International professional rodeo’s premier contestants and world champions will entertain as they will be matched up against some of the “biggest and rankest animals on the planet” while competing in the bareback bronc riding, steer wrestling, roping, barrel racing and the world’s most dangerous sport - bull riding. The event will also feature clowns, comedy routines and animal dress acts though out the day. “The initial support for this event has been incredible,” said Glen Howard, director of the rodeo committee and representative of the Arnprior Agricultural Society. Last year was a sell-out so the event has been expanded to accommodate more spectators “Since this is such a big event, we’ve had to ask our local businesses and regional sponsors to help support the event and we have been encouraged with the level of support and the interest that we’ve received thus far,” said Howard. “This is a fantastic event to have in our community.
DEREK DUNN/METROLAND
Abby Rampton gives a wave to those gathered in The Prior parking lot when some 13 horses moseyed on up on a ride from the Arnprior Fairgrounds to promote the stampede. The restaurant is among the sponsors of this year’s Arnprior Stampede. “We believe that both the entertainment value and economic impact of an event of this magnitude is something everyone should be excited about and nobody will want to miss. “We’ve been meeting with our organizing committee within the Ag Society since last year to plan this event. We have also received
fantastic response since last year on both our social media outlets Facebook and Twitter. “We’re really excited to be able to partner with a strong character group like the Arnprior Agricultural Society and to bring the champions of Professional Rodeo here in June for one of the IPRA’s initial tour stops,” said BJ Prince,
president of Rawhide Rodeo. “This event will not disappoint and will be talked about in Arnprior for the entire summer.” STAMPEDE TICKETS
Tickets for the Arnprior Stampede are now on sale with a limited number being made available start-

Marguerite’s show and tell quashed by Emerson and Cecil There was no such thing as ‘show and tell’ at the Northcote School. There was no room for something as frivolous as bringing something from home to talk about in front of the rest of the pupils. Once we settled in our seats, our whole day, except for a 15-minute recess, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and, of course, our hour for lunch, we were stuck to our seats like flypaper. The truth of the matter was none of us had much to show off, even if there was something called ‘show and tell’. With the exception of bad Marguerite, of course. If it wasn’t brand new hair ribbons laying across her Shirley Temple curls like a folded up Renfrew Mercury, it was ankle sox with real lace on the cuffs. And then one day, just before Miss Crosby came out on the stoop to ring the big brass bell, in rolled Marguerite on a brand new bicycle. No one ever rode a bicycle to the Northcote School, not even cousins Two or Three Mile Herman, who came all the way from the Barr Line. The Northcote Side Road, like a washboard and full of ruts, meant that anyone who would even attempt to ride a bicycle on it would be hard pressed to get to school before the nine o’clock bell. And there was bad Marguerite who lived just a spit away, riding a brand new bicycle. It was bright green and it had wide tires, which my brother Emerson called balloon tires, and it had a little bell on the handlebars, which Marguerite kept ringing all the way into the schoolyard. My best friends Joyce and Velma and I just stood there like stone.
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
A new bicycle! Imagine! We were taught at the Lutheran Sunday school that envy was a mortal sin, but that day I came close to breaking that commandment. Marguerite leaned the bicycle against the side of the stoop, wiped the fenders with the cuff of her sweater, and made it clear to all of us standing gawking at it, that it would be curtains for anyone who laid a hand on it! Even Miss Crosby’s eyes were like saucers, but, of course, she said nothing, ever careful not to show favouritism to any one pupil. Marguirite asked, during the morning, if she could go to the windowsill and sharpen her pencil. We knew perfectly well there wasn’t a thing wrong with her pencil. What she wanted to do was take a peek outside to have a look at her bicycle! All went well into the day. Morning recess passed. No one mentioned the new bicycle. Our lunch was eaten outside, and still no one talked about the bicycle. Marguirite was plenty annoyed, you could tell just by the way she was tossing those hateful store-dyed curls around. I could see my brother Emerson and his pal Cecil snickering over by the back fence, but they never went near the bicycle either. Afternoon recess came and went. Cecil put up his hand, with two fingers, which meant he had to use the outside privy, and it would take longer than if he only held up one finger.
Miss Crosby nodded, and Cecil got up from his desk, nodded at Emerson, and went out the door. Finally, the big CPR clock on the wall showed it was four o’clock, and Miss Crosby said we were dismissed. Emerson and Cecil were the first to get out the door, and they headed right for the gate, where they looked like they had just robbed a bank. Marguirite wasn’t far behind. She took one look at her bicycle and her scream could be heard in Admaston! Velma, Joyce and I ran to see what all the commotion was about, and there were those two big balloon tires, as flat as pancakes. “Must have a slow leak,” Cecil said, as he wandered over from the gate. “Happens all the time on our old Model T,” Emerson offered. “Guess you’ll just have to push and drag it home.” When I last saw Marguirite and her bicycle, she hadn’t gone more than a few hundred yards. The bicycle was big and heavy, the road was full of ruts, and even though she lived close to the school, and we were three and a half miles, Velma guessed we’d beat her home.

ENERGY $AVING$! Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.
Check your hot water temperature. 140° is sufficient for washing dishes and clothes.

2016 DECORATING TRENDS
Tips for a state-of-the-art KITCHEN Does your kitchen need refurbishing? Would you love to create a cutting-edge decor worthy of a decorating magazine? Draw on as many of the 2016 trends as you like and turn your kitchen into a beautiful — and functional — room that’s ideal for dreaming up mouth-watering meals for family and friends. Gasps of admiration, guaranteed. CLEAN LINES With its cool colours and clean lines, the 2016 kitchen has the esthetic of a laboratory, but in a good way. Islands, cabinets and countertops have smooth, gleaming surfaces on which a bare minimum of objects are placed. Similarly, storage space is optimized so all the things you don’t have an immediate use for can stay out of sight. The key word: minimalism. NOSTALGIC COLOURS Add pale touches of colour (mint green, pale
pink, baby blue, lilac or butter yellow) to neutral kitchens. These pastel shades from decades past are making a comeback this year, while the vintage trend is increasingly popular. Purity, softness and comfort are the magic ingredients for a user-friendly kitchen where everyone loves to hang out. COPPER After stainless steel, gold, chrome and bronze, designers are now going crazy over copper. To give your kitchen a modern-yet-warm feel, integrate a few elements with a copper finish or even better, solid copper. This year, copper cabinet handles and knobs, light fixtures, faucets, utensils and even appliances blend perfectly with anthracite, brown and ivory tones. CUSTOM ISLANDS Today’s kitchen island is no longer used
MILLIKEN
exclusively for preparing meals. Now it has been transformed into a multi-purpose element that’s used as an extra table or for storage. To be really up to date, furnish your kitchen with a model that has been custom designed and made by a professional. What’s the ultimate island in 2016? A brightly coloured one (bottle green, orange, electric blue) standing in the centre of a kitchen decorated in classic shades of gray, white, black or beige. You’ll Copper-coloured accents definitely create the and custom-designed islands are star features this year. “wow” effect!

Decorating an open area in the home isn’t always easy. In fact, harmonizing the different zones can be quite a challenge. Here are a few tips to get you started. CHOOSE YOUR STYLE First of all, choose a style that will be used throughout this open area. Do you prefer a contemporary, traditional, or country look? If you decide to create an eclectic look by using a mix of styles, you might be setting yourself up for a complicated task; a blend of styles has to be carefully thought out and executed with caution, or the space will end up looking like a mishmash of disparate objects.
different tones of one colour. It goes without saying that this colour has to blend well with the furniture and the flooring. USE ONE TYPE OF FLOOR COVERING The flooring has to be chosen with care when decorating an open area. Ideally, only one type of covering should be used — wood is always an excellent choice. At floor level, area rugs can be used to define or separate the different zones.
CREATE ZONES Decide how you want to use your open area and create activity zones by grouping furniture according to its use. Define the zones by creating visual separations with elements such as rugs, plants, a table, or a sofa. Decorative elements, such as woodwork or mouldings, can also help define a space. DECIDE ON A COLOUR SCHEME Colour is an important element in any open area, as it unifies disparate elements to form a whole. Create a sense of harmony by using Homogenize and harmonize when decorating an open area.

Tips for installing CROWN MOULDINGS Crown mouldings are a beautiful addition to any room but require patience, know-how and skill to install. Ready to try? The following tips could prove useful. YOUR TOOLS Once you’ve purchased enough crown moulding for the dimensions of your room — allowing yourself an additional section of at least 2.5 metres for test cuts — gather together the following items: mitre saw, template, hammer, finishing nails, wood glue, latex caulking and a pencil. CUT Crown mouldings have to be cut at a 45° angle if they are to fit properly in right angle joints. To avoid costly mistakes, do a trial run on the portion of moulding you bought for this purpose. Pressing firmly, stabilize the crown moulding on the template and cut it with the mitre saw. After placing the test mouldings in a corner and making sure the joint is to your satisfaction, draw some ref-

pencil.
GLUE Once all your final mouldings are cut, ask a willing volunteer to help you install them. Start by spreading wood glue over the entire surface of the back of the crown moulding before applying it to the wall. Then hammer in the finishing nails approximately every 30 cm. After joining the mouldings in the right angles, wipe off any excess glue with a damp cloth. Lastly, before painting your crown mouldings, fill the nail holes and cracks with the latex caulking and allow to dry.
Crown moulding must be cut at a 45° angle, an art that often requires a few trial runs.

Goodbye weeds, HELLO LAWN! Do you have the impression that weeds have taken over your lawn? How can you get rid of them once and for all? First of all, some weeds are not as bad as you might think. They’re just very adaptive plants that you don’t want to see growing in your lawn. In other words, they’re not your mortal enemies. Here are a few tricks to get rid of them.
Strengthening your lawn is a good place to start and will stack the odds in your favour. A healthy lawn is denser, so there’s less room for weeds to grow. To improve the health of your lawn, mow it to a height of six to eight centimetres. Leave the grass cuttings right on the lawn. Water less often but more thoroughly. Reseed sparse areas and, if necessary, replace the grass with another type of ground cover in areas where there’s still fierce competition between weeds and grass. You may also find it useful to buy a test kit to determine the acidity of your soil. Grass that grows in soil that is too acidic won’t be as strong. You can help by neutralizing the acidity, sometimes by just adding compost. Be patient and don’t get discouraged. While you’re waiting for the results of all your hard work to show, feel free to use a weed removing tool to uproot recalcitrant plants. But whatever you do, try to be a good citizen and resist the urge to use products that are harmful to the environment. There are a plenty of tricks to get rid of weeds, so never admit defeat!

A GARDEN SPADE for every task Which spade should you use for digging earth? For dividing perennials? Do you know what a trowel is? Gardening spades take up huge areas of display space in garden centres; they may be round or square, wide or narrow. In fact, amateur gardeners often find it difficult to choose the right one. So, what spade should you buy? You’ll need at least two spades, but if possible, buy three. The first one is the indispensable round spade. Spades with a rounded blade are used to perform several gardening chores: digging holes for planting seed lings, digging up roots, divi ding perennials, turning the soil and transporting materials (gravel, compost, soil, mulch, etc.). It’s a practical tool that you’ll use a lot. The other recommended spade is
the trowel. This mini-spade is useful for planting in flower beds as well as in pots. It’s used throughout the year, for both exterior and interior plants. The third spade to buy, if possible, is the square spade. Although it’s not as generally useful as a round blade, the square shape is more efficient when the time comes to divide perennials. That’s because it cuts the roots instead of tearing them, as a rounded spade would. Regardless of which gardening tool you’re looking for, take the time to choose the right one before buying it. You need to feel comfortable when handling it, so imitate the movements you’ll make when gardening, and take into account its size, weight and ergonomics. For comfort — and to prevent blisters —

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATION
Make your HOME BIGGER — from the inside Need more room? Before you consider moving to a larger home, remember that it is often possible to optimize your interior space with just a few renovations and simple modifications. Here are a few tips. 1. KNOCK DOWN SOME WALLS It is normal to feel a little cramped in a house where all the rooms are enclosed. Having lots of walls creates a barrier, both visually and in terms of movement. For these reasons, many architects and designers favour open floor plans. If this idea appeals to you, you could ask a couple of renovation professionals to inspect your home and identify which walls can be removed without affecting the solidity of the structure. A You can create a more open living environment by optimizing storage and tearing down a wall or two.

load-bearing wall can be removed, but it will take more time and money. Check with your municipality to find out if a permit is required for this type of renovation before starting any demolition work. 2. OPTIMIZE STORAGE To help increase available space in your home, go through every room and decide what could be stored more efficiently. Could all those pairs of shoes lying around on your floor be kept on a shoe rack in the closet? Could the DVDs that are gathering dust in your living room be stored in the garage or the attic? 3. HANG SOME MIRRORS In addition to capturing light, mirrors give the illusion of space. Hang some large mir rors in cramped rooms to create an instant feeling of spaciousness. Just remember to check what is reflected in them.
Decorate your ROCKERY with style In horticulture, a plant is said to be variegated when its foliage displays two different colours. Using colourful foliage brings elegance and light to your flowerbeds and rockeries. Here are some tips to help you show off your variegated plants to advantage. First of all, to preserve the bi-coloured foliage, you need to be very careful about respecting the needs of the plant, especially hours of sunshine, soil type and watering. You should also apply a lownitrogen fertilizer. Remove any completely green leaves that appear as soon as you notice them; this is a phenomenon called reversion, and it can affect all variegated plants.
For a more striking effect, variegated plants have to be showcased. Plant them next to species with dark green foliage, and play with contrasting colours and textures. In small spaces, opt for quality, not quantity; too many variegated plants in one place may not give the desired effect. Use them to liven up shaded or semishaded areas and in planters or pots to give your deck a sophisticated look. An esthetic tip: grow golden variegated plants in white resin pots and cream-based mixes in terracotta pots. Garden centres introduce new species of variegated plants every year in order to meet the growing demand for them. A sales associate or landscaping specialist

Decorative STORAGE IDEAS for your home Are accessories, toys and all kinds of other stuff cluttering up your home? Great news: there are lots of clever ways to hide everything, all while enhancing your decor. KITCHEN Have a large perforated peg board (like those used in garages or workshops) cut to size. Paint it the colour you want, attach it securely to the wall and use hooks to hang all your large pots and utensils on it. Apart from giving your kitchen a modern look, this arrangement will free up a lot of space in your cabinets. PLAY ROOM Children’s toys can be stored in sturdy multi-coloured containers. Keep them on low shelves or under a bench. A coloured net or hammock attached to the ceiling is also a smart way to free up floor space.
Just think of all those stuffed animals you can put up there! LIVING ROOM Remote controls, video gamepads and magazines can be stored in an ottoman designed just for this purpose. Some models come with wicker baskets or stylish racks that make it possible to quickly hide all the odds and ends that are cluttering up your living room. BATHROOM This room is often short on space, so individual shelves and shelving units are ideal for optimizing storage. Lay out your best towels
— rolled or folded like at a hotel — and arrange them with your finest handmade soaps and scented bath salts. Lastly, for a clutter-free counter, gather all your various bottles and compacts together on
How to create CURB APPEAL “Homebuyers tend to use the exterior of a home and its yard as a gauge on what the inside looks like,” says Patricia Verge, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “First impressions are critical to capture the attention of homebuyers and send the message that the home has been well cared for, inside and out.” To ensure your home stands out and gets noticed for the right reasons this fall, Verge recommends taking care of these simple steps before listing: • Cut: Make sure trees and bushes are neatly trimmed. • Clear: Remove leaves and sticks from gutters. Make sure the lawn is mowed, leaves are raked and weeds are removed.
• Clean: Wash windows, pressurewash dirty siding and decks, and kill mould and mildew on the house, sidewalks, roof and driveway. • Paint: If you can’t afford to do the whole house, a fresh coat of paint will transform your front door and provide a more welcoming entrance. • Upgrade: Change outdated locks and handles on your front door, replace rusty fixtures and add lighting to the front porch and yard. “Preparing the exterior is one of the most important things sellers can do to ready a home for sale,” says Verge. Talk to your Realtor about what potential buyers in your area are looking for. More information is available at the website www.wedothehomework. ca.

With its top-quality soil, mild seasons and abundance of rain, there’s no question that the West Coast is a garden-friendly region. However, your precious plants aren’t the only ones who benefit from these optimal conditions. Some bothersome bugs are particularly suited to the western climate and can pose a true threat to your harvest. You should get to know the top three. APHIDS These tiny terrors exist in a variety of subspecies that share a common goal: to snack on your tasty vegetable garden. They feed in colonies and reproduce at an impressive rate, so it’s important to eradicate them before they become an overwhelming threat to your plants. Signs of aphid damage include curled, atrophied leaves and stunted growth among young stems. To get rid of these unwanted guests, your greatest ally is none other than the com-
mon ladybug; you can purchase an army of these aphid-eaters at your local garden supply store. SLUGS If you wake up to find irregular holes with smooth edges on your plants’ leaves, there’s a good chance you have a slug problem. These slimy foes attack at night and are most active during wet, humid and overcast weather — a frequent forecast for the West Coast. To get rid of them, skip the potentially damaging salt. Instead, lure slugs into a tempting trap using citrus rinds or beer. SNAILS Like slugs, snails mainly snack on foliage, but they also enjoy fruits that grow close to the ground, such as tomatoes and berries. Eliminate these unwelcome guests using the same type of trap as for slugs, or
