News – It’s not about the money, according to Mary Campbell, but about the process. Last week Arnprior council pitched its latest solution to the service agreements impasse between the town and McNabBraeside. It essentially offered to reduce the township’s contribution to the library and recreation facilities such as the Nick Smith Centre by $104,000 on a three-year deal. (McNab-Braeside paid $237,000 in the final year of the last agreement.) However, Arnprior didn’t offer to drop its requirement for a joint recreation committee or offer more assurances that the user figures are accurate. Dangling the carrot of reduced costs along with the sticks of a committee and ‘fuzzy’ numbers didn’t impress the township mayor. “It’s the same old proposal with new numbers,â€? Campbell said. “I need to be accountable for where the money’s going and if it’s benefiting McNab-Braeside.â€? Her problem with the committee idea is three-fold: • It calls for staff from both municipalities to work together. That could lead township staff to unionize, just like the town’s. Their salaries would likely trend upward, as Ottawa’s did post amalgamation. The payroll would burgeon by $500,000, Campbell said. See TOWNSHIP Page 7 SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

News – Algal bloom on White Lake last year have shoreline residents concerned and planning to take action. “Over the last 25 years we have noticed a deterioration in lake water quality which may be due to human factors and climate change,â€? said Janet Taylor of the White Lake Preservation Project at a presentation to McNab-Braeside council May 6. “Last year, two signiďŹ cant algal blooms were recorded, including a bloom of possibly toxic blue-green algae,â€? said Taylor. “We’ve been on the lake for 20 years and it’s not what it once was.â€? The preservation project is made up residents and cottagers from each of the four municipalities that surround the lake. Similar presentations have and/or will be made to the other municipalities (Greater Madawaska, Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills), said Taylor. “We need to involve all four townships - nothing can happen on that lake without all the townships being involved. It’s a complicated process.â€? The ďŹ rst algal bloom came and went quickly, she explained. “Then in late September we had a signiďŹ cant bloom,â€? said Taylor. “Algae can have toxins associated with it. When these become serious enough they can close the lake.â€? The water was tested by the Ministry of the Environment and levels were found to be below those that cause major concern,

the lake for accommodating future development.â€? The ďŹ rst major objective of the preservation project is to create a lake management plan. “Lake management planning is deďŹ ned as a strategic process,â€? said Taylor, who said the group is referencing a lake planning handbook developed for community groups by the Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations. Among the priorities of the group is to document the lake’s chemistry and biology and assess what the remedial measures should be. “Lake planning is such a huge project we had to prioritize the parts we felt really needed to be done ďŹ rst,â€? said Taylor. “We are compiling a list of all property owners – going to all township ofďŹ ces and manually writing down. With this list of property owners what we want to do is send out a one time mailing by traditional mail and what we would like to do is set up groups for each part of the lake.â€? The group has met with and enlisted the help of a professor of environmental studies who is doing a watershed study in the Mississippi Valley. “He is going to include White Lake in that study,â€? said Taylor. “It’s a fairly comprehensive study of lake.â€? Among the main things the group is looking for is a contact person in the McNabBraeside portion of the lake to help with sampling. “White Lake is quite geographically different in three or four parts,â€? said Taylor.

Area mayors petition parties with priorities Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Mayors and wardens across Eastern Ontario have asked parties in the provincial election to clarify their commitment to municipalities. Among the top priorities for both Arnprior and McNab-Braeside mayors has to do with policing. OPP costs skyrocketed - largely due to wage increases - prompting Arnprior Mayor David Reid and others to pressure the Liberal government to ďŹ nd a solution before budgets are almost entirely consumed. While Reid and McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell agree “billing reformâ€? is needed, they differ on the solution. Reid wants it based on household, arguing every person in the province beneďŹ ts from policing but that most of the crime happens in towns and cities.

Campbell wants it based on service, so that police will patrol rural areas as well. She argues there are increased costs to rural living – well testing, road repairs and more – so the same should apply to towns: more people means more crime, therefore high costs to town residents. Reid also wants “interest arbitrationâ€? dealt with; police in small municipalities shouldn’t get wage parity with others in higher-cost-of-living cities. These issues are important to the town and township’s umbrella organization, Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO). It has also submitted a list for parties, including the continuation of uploading of social spending costs. Campbell agrees with AMO’s largely generic points but adds in one more. In August she plans to petition the new government for a trafďŹ c light

at Highway 17 and Calabogie Road. Neither she nor Reid mentioned twinning Highway 17 to Renfrew. The latter suggested it goes without saying. “I think all parties see the value in it,â€? he said. Topping Reid’s list is “investment and infrastructure.â€? The Liberals were inconsistent in ďŹ ltering money down to municipalities, and there is some speculation that with the PCs promising signiďŹ cant cuts to balance the budget, smaller municipalities could miss out. “That’s hugely important to all small towns. We need a sustainable and reliable funding system,â€? Reid said. “It’s the only way we can get some projects off the ground.â€? The province offers money in a variety of ways, including gas tax, grants, and stimulus funding (offered to bolster a weak economy).

Reid said he appreciates that governments are responding to changing international conditions, but that shouldn’t prevent a stable base level of funding that municipalities can count on.

these issues into their own election campaigns. “The EOWC wants to get the message out to election candidates: municipalities have given the Province a decade to accept responsibility for its own costs – and, as we know, Eastern Ontario has little capacity to raise revenue, in terms of both income and property,� said EOWC chair Jean Paul St. Pierre.

election day and newcomers to the riding can drop by either office between 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. to register to vote. What they need is good identification documents, such as a driver’s licence or health card, proving they live locally, he said. People unsure of whether they are on the voters list can check at their municipal office, he advises. Voters who will be away from the riding on election day or during the advance poll period can vote by special ballot between May 15 and June 11 from 10 a.m to 8 p.m. (noon to 5 p.m. Sundays) at the returning offices. Assistive voting technology

is available at each returning office. There will be six days of advance polls (10 a.m. to 8 p.m.) from May 31 to June 6 in 14 locations around the riding. The polling station in Arnprior will be at the Arnprior Shopping Centre. As well as six days of advance polls in Renfrew, Arnprior, Pembroke and Barry’s Bay, there will be two days in Cobden and Eganville and for the first time a one-day advance poll in Calabogie, Westmeath and Stonecliffe. Voter cards will be sent out in late May informing citizens where they should vote on June 12, when the polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. MacDonald said that can-

didate nominations officially open today (May 22) and run to 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 29. As of press time, there were four candidates pre-registered in the riding: Progressive Conservative John Yakabuski, NDP’s Brian Dougherty, Ontario Provincial Confederation of Regions Party’s Murray Reid and independent Chad Beckwith-Smith. The Liberals have nominated Rod Boileau and the Green Party of Canada is also expected to enter a candidate.

Strategy based on EOWC priorities Continued from Page 6

“Infrastructure funding cannot come at the expense of uploads or new downloads that increase other costs. You cannot rob Peter to pay Paul,” he added. The strategy is primarily based on the EOWC’s 2014 priorities, established earlier this year and presented to provincial ministers during the ROMA/OGRA Conference. It includes important requests including stable, predictable funding for roads and bridges, and has been refreshed with more recent concerns such as the new OPP billing model. The EOWC has worked closely with the As-

sociation of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) on this strategy and, as a result, believes that all the issues and concerns of rural Eastern Ontario are represented under these three questions to provincial candidates: 1. Will you honour the upload agreement and reject downloading? 2. What is your plan for Eastern Ontario’s roads and bridges? 3. How will you promote more affordable emergency services? “Eastern Ontario municipalities are spending less than half of what they need on infrastructure,” said EOWC vice-chair Linda Thompson.

2014 SPRING HYDRANT FLUSH VALVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM The Public Works Department in conjunction with the Town’s Spring Hydrant Flush program is conducting a Valve Maintenance Program. The hydrant flush will clean the distribution system by flushing any standing red water. The valve maintenance program is designed to clean and exercise the valves and by doing so will extend their life as well as determine whether the valves are operable. The work is planned for the weeks of May 20th to June 12th, 2014 and will be completed in the shortest period of time possible. This procedure is routine but it may result in some temporary inconveniences such as poor water pressure or “red” water. Do not be alarmed. What you should know: • If coloured water is detected, please open your COLD water taps to clear the system. • The coloured water is not hazardous to health. • This situation is temporary and should not last any longer than two hours at most. For more information please contact Garry Gardiner, Public Works Supervisor at 613-623-4231 ext. 243.

His current activities include freelance photography and the online sale of Canadian chaga medicinal mushroom to treat breast and prostate cancer. For this political campaign, his major issue is his pro-life stance “because I want to save human life in the womb.” He says abortions have been hap-

pening in Canada for 40 years, but politicians are generally afraid to tackle the issue. He suggests the Canadian Alliance Party was ready to deal with the issue, but says amalgamation within the federal Prograessive Conservative Party resulted in pro-life politicians being pushed to the backbenches. Beckwith-Smith, who graduated from Madawaska Valley District High School in Barry’s Bay in 1972, says he’s out to stop all legal abortions of babies in the province of Ontario. On his website of www.chadformpp.com, he says: “Your vote is very important, and rest assured if you give me your vote I will use that power to stop all legal abortions, and thus you will be saving the future lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of children in our province.” SUBMITTED Other issues in Beckwith-Smith’s campaign include the need for oil Chad Beckwith-Smith: Independent candidate revenue debt, dividends for every Canadian citizen and local economic development.

News – Confederation of Regions Party candidate Murray Reid of Admaston-Bromley Township is back in the race to become Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP. Reid was one of five candidates in the riding in the 2011 Ontario election when he placed fifth overall with 309 votes. That compared to 27,594 for re-elected John Yakabuski of the Progressive Conservative Party. This is the fourth provincial election campaign for Reid. He may be best known as a beef and sheep farmer, plumber and former member of the very popular band, Metagenesis, which rocked the Ottawa Valley from 1975 to 1980. “I want to bring some new ideas and add my voice to the dismay over the handling of the province and such issues as hydro rates,” said Reid. So far, there are five candidates in the local race. Nominations can be filed until today (May 22) at 2 p.m.

Township mayor worries deal could lead to merger Continued from front • It calls for shared assets. Arnprior would continue to make all decisions on capital costs (such as replacing the Nick Smith Centre’s roof). McNabBraeside would be forced to hand over money without retaining any accountability. • It calls for joint volunteers. The township doesn’t have a history of forcing residents to volunteer in other municipalities. Then, beyond the accountability and transparency issues, there’s the concept of a joint committee and its umbrella joint recreation master plan. Will it bring about the end of the township? Campbell recalled that Coun. Aldene Styles, who is running for township mayor, called it a “recipe for amalgamation” upon hearing of the idea for the first time. Township council has resisted making a deal largely on recreation issues, not library issues. But the town’s insistence that one can’t happen without the other has left Campbell and others on council feeling handcuffed. “We’ve always known we were being strong-armed on the library by the recreation,” Campbell said. “It’s been exhausting to go through these three years.” She won’t support any agreements plan that involves the township paying a lump sum for services. The user numbers have plummeted from 1,250 individuals at one point, to an Arnprior report suggesting about 617 in its summary to about 261 in the body of the report, Campbell said. She figures about 550 people use the Nick Smith Centre.

“Nobody is going to hand over $200,000 without knowing how to spend it (with) accountability,” Campbell said. “We have to either invest in alternatives, lower the Nick Smith user subsidy from the roughly $300 per person previously invested to something that we can offer all our residents for all their recreation choices, or we can buy programs and offer them at a subsidized rate.” The other option is, she said, when it comes to provincial associations such as minor hockey the township can pick up the tab for all the children who want to play. SAVINGS SO FAR

The $162,000 saved by not paying for service agreements last year was rolled back into the township budget. Council will decide how to spend it after hearing from its recreation committee. However, council has caused tremendous friction with various advisory committees, including recreation. When asked if council will accept recommendations, the mayor was non-committal. “I can’t speak on behalf of council, but if it meets with the province’s accountability, transparency and equitable guidelines, I personally will support it.” The committee has talked of building splash pads and batting cages. Presenters to the committee can pitch their ideas. (Expect to see a case made for upgrading the Braeside RA Centre, and possibly offsetting costs of oldtimers hockey.)

OPINION

EDITORIAL

More to province than GTA Opinion - Hey, party leaders. There is more to the province that the Greater Toronto Area. Granted, the June 12 provincial election will likely be decided in Toronto and its suburbs. Unfortunately, the majority of seats in this province are in the urban areas, especially in the golden horseshoe, so if a party is able to sweep Toronto and environs, as the Liberals have done in most recent provincial elections, it is able to form a government. So it’s no surprise that the leaders of the Liberals, Progressive Conservatives and NDP are concentrating their efforts in places such as Halton, Vaughan, York and Mississauga. So far there has been the odd forary out to Kitchener, London and Windsor, but mostly the leaders are sticking close to Toronto, a quick jaunt to Ottawa notwithstanding. Don’t expect any of the leaders to show their faces in this riding. Or even next door in Lanark or West Carleton. If we were swing ridings, perhaps. But most pundits feel the incumbents will waltz to easy victories. That’s why it’s so important for ridings off the beaten track, such as Renfrew-Nipissing-

Pembroke, to have strong, outspoken candidates up for election. We need candidates with eloquence and gumption. No shrinking violets, please. When you’re from the Upper Ottawa Valley, you have to speak out loudly and clearly to be heard in a legislature dominated by the city MPPs. It’s easy to go to Queen’s Park and be lost in the shuffle if you don’t speak out. It is hard enough to get rural ridings noticed among the clamor of all the competing interests from the urban areas. The rapid growth of Toronto and suburbs mean there are many expensive needs that will take priority if the area’s MPPs have the ear of the Premier and Cabinet. But a wise Premier will realize there is more to Ontario than the masses from the Toronto area. So while the leaders should ensure their message is getting out to the GTA, they should also make efforts to get out into the hinterland during the campaign. Be inclusive We’d welcome visits from those who would be premier.

Majority ignored again by township council Upcoming provincial election To the Editor: The May 6 budget review council meeting ended with the MBR4RR petition, and the opinion of over 2,200 residents, being ignored one more time. As a result, there will be no transfer agreement with Arnprior, rather the final discussion ended with Deputy Mayor Blimkie rather ecstatic that all of the monies budgeted for recreation would finally be spent in McNabBreaside. For those that may wish to attend, and possibly voice their displeasure, council intends to pass the budget at the council meeting on May 20. The sting will start being felt next month as parents look to sign their children up for the winter programs that they love. Ringette, figure skating, girls hockey, minor hockey will all see significant increases in fees this year. A second round will begin later, when the swimming and adult hockey registration begins. This is a direct result of our council’s stubborn unwillingness to enter into an agreement with Arnprior such that our residents can sign up for programs and activities at the Nick Smith Centre at the same rate as the residents of Arnprior. Now, you would think, that with months to prepare, council would have a plan in place with programs at the ready for launch when their budget is finally passed. Alas, no – there is no additional programs at the ready; nothing beyond what was offered last year. In essence, what our council has said to its constituents is – we have heard what you want, we disagree with you, but we don’t

have anything new for you either. Perhaps council and staff was busy with the administrative nonsense involved with processing the $45 rebates for the library cards? I wonder how many people actually made their way up for the refund? This council has witnessed our rallies, received our petition results and read the many letters to the editor of its frustrated citizens. Their reaction to this was to ignore all of it and stubbornly hold to their opinion that they are right and the overwhelming majority of its citizens are wrong. Perhaps our final word will be heard this coming fall. There was not one member of council that supported our cause. Mayor Campbell, Deputy Mayor Blimkie and Councillor Campbell all held firm against any monies being allocated to a Transfer Agreement – period. Councillors Styles and McIlquham, while acknowledging the overwhelming numbers on the petition, failed to take a strong stance and support their constituents. We at MBR4RR feel that there is an obvious need for change in our elected officials. If they do not support (or outright ignore) the wishes of its people, then why do they hold the positions they do? We ask that you remember this during the coming election and finally have your voice heard. Brian Armsden, spokesperson McNab Braeside Residents for Reading and Recreation (MBR4RR)

right time to transform politics To the Editor: In June we will have a provincial election. In October we will have municipal elections and at some point in the next 18 months we will have a federal election. What better time to seriously consider making the political system more attractive to more voters by raising the bar. There is absolutely no doubt that we, the voters, are tired of the same old accusations, counter accusations, and ‘Gotcha’ politics. People want

truth, transparency and vision. People do not want to listen to disparaging words from one candidate or another. Simply tell us your experience, so we can decide if you are capable of performing if elected, and clearly and truthfully tell us what you would do if elected. The time is right to transform our political system in the most fundamental and important way. Terry Gibeau Arnprior

Garbage along route to Red Pine Bay disgusting To the Editor: Your next editorial should address Arnprior-McNab’s disdain for attracting tourists. An otherwise scenic drive/bike route features a constant trail of garbage – the Usborne Street following the Ottawa River from Arnprior Cemetery to Red Pine Bay, Braeside. Both sides of the road are covered in trash, large and small. In my 20 years here it has never had a clean-up. Stuff just rots away. Disgusting. C. Cardinal McNab-Braeside SUBMITTED

ing cat, having never been on his own in 10 years, was lonesome. I decided to get him a companion. Doing the responsible thing, I decided to support our local humane society and give a loving home to a rescue cat. I phoned ahead and was told that there were 150+ cats for adoption. I went to Arnprior with cat carrier in hand to find a cat. The only stipulation was that the cat was comfortable with my resident cat and dog. No preference to colour or gender. I filled out all the pa-

pers required and was then told I could not take the cat with me but had to wait 24 hours to be approved, and that I would get a phone call. Two weeks later I finally phoned them and found out that my application had been rejected. The reason wasn’t because I wasn’t a responsible pet owner, but because the cat would be sleeping in my stable. My stable is like a house, heated in the winter and screened in the summer. The cats each have their own cat beds, feed and water bowls, are fed twice a day, have a litter box

and get plenty of TLC. After they are established in their home they are allowed out to wander on our 26 acres and catch mice. All my cats have died of old age from 18 years to 32 years and up until now the cats have found us, and stayed. It is ironic that the Humane Society thinks that having 75+ cats in one room is better than a clean stable where cats can be normal and enjoy life. But no, I am not allowed to have a cat because it won’t be living in the house. Ruth Goldthorp Dunrobin

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way Lifestyle - Just last week I went south to watch birds. My destination is at the same latitude as Barcelona and northern California. It is world famous for birds and each year thousands of birders from Canada and elsewhere converge there. My destination was Point Pelee National Park near Windsor. In earlier years I visited Pelee every spring, usually for a couple of weeks in May, the height of spring migration. In the early 1980s I worked there as an interpretive naturalist, so I got to know the park intimately. I haven’t been to Pelee for nearly a decade, so I was especially excited to be going again in the peak of spring migration. Pelee, like other sand spits that jut out into Lake Erie, is a stopover for migrating songbirds. After crossing Lake Erie during the night, birds drop down to feed and rest before continuing their journey. Weather is a factor in just how many birds put down. The best “fallouts” occur when warm southwesterly winds push birds northward, and late-night rains force them to land. Such conditions occurred during my visit. Cool weather often forces the birds to forage low to the

Baltimore Orioles dine on flowers as well as insects. ground, gleaning insects from under leaves and branches. That happened during my visit. There were red and black grosbeaks, orange orioles, and yellow and green warblers foraging at ground level along the trails. Especially active were woodland ponds where little bridges traversed them. It was amazing to experience flocks of warblers – the “jewels of the bird world” – flitting around you, hovering above the water and pausing briefly on branches below eye level. Birders are particularly fond of warblers and most of the eastern North American species dressed in their finest breeding garb can be found in Pelee in May. In my visit I encountered a respectable 28 species, and had fantas-

tic close-up views of most of them. Needless to say, just like those of many other happy visitors, my camera was operating full time. As usual, birders encountered a number of “good birds,” species considered rare in Pelee. I managed to see a Hooded Warbler, a Summer Tanager, a Kentucky Warbler, two Yellow-breasted Chats and a White-eyed Vireo, southerners that show up annually at Pelee. Other highlights were a Willet at Hillman Marsh and a Laughing Gull at Wheatley Harbour, hot spots part of the Pelee birding region. Another reward of birding at Pelee is meeting up with other kindred spirits. I encountered many friends and acquaintances that I hadn’t seen for years, some for decades. And new friends were made. I spent a lot of time searching the woods with four keen Welsh birders. We agreed to keep in contact and plan to meet again some day, perhaps in Pelee, perhaps in some distant part of the world. Possibly even in Wales. This year I am doing a 24hour Birdathon to raise money for Bird Studies Canada.

Members of the 2360 Royal Canadian Army Cadets helped out on Pitch-In Day at Robert Simpson Park in Arnprior.

Pitch-in volunteers thanked Lifestyle - The Town of Arnprior has issued a public thank you to all the volunteers who got up bright and early on Saturday, May 10 to participate in Pitch-In Day. Pitch-In Day in Arnprior was attended by a number of groups including: • the 2360 Army Cadets, who put in a lot of effort picking up garbage and leaves along the entrance area to Robert Simpson Park; • three amazing helpers from Communities in Bloom who helped with leaf-blowing and trimming roses; • the Bradley family, who put in some hard work at the Atkinson St. Park and basketball court; • the parks and recreation team led by Glenn Arthur who focused their efforts on cleaning up the CN trail. In the end, at Robert Simpson Park alone, the group filled a large 15-foot trailer as well as a half-ton pick-up at least three times with garbage and leaves.

News - A man with ties to Arnprior was killed in a hit-and-run collision in Toronto last week. Jay McGinn, 28, died after being the victim of a hit-and-run on Dundas Street in the early morning of May 10. McGuinn is the son of Lisa and Gerry Falls of Arnprior and the late John McGinn. He was pronounced dead at St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto police confirmed. He had been hit by a car in Kensington Market around 2:30 a.m. The Toronto Star reported that a woman has been arrested and charged with failing to stop and causing bodily harm, charges that were likely to be upgraded with McGuinn’s death. According to the Star report, McGinn was waiting for a taxi to unload its passengers on Dundas Street when he was hit trying to get into the rear door on the driver’s side of the vehicle. He suffered life-threatening injuries and was in a coma in critical condition. Police were able to locate the vehicle that was involved in the accident the following day and arrested a 31year-old Oshawa woman. She was granted bail on Wednesday and released under the condition that she pay a $15,000 surety and reside with her father. McGuinn’s funeral was scheduled for today (Thursday) at 3 p.m. at Grace-St. Andrew’s United Church in Arnprior after visitations at the Boyce Funeral Home. McGuinn was the partner of Colleen Oldfield, grandson of Barbara Short and the late Jim Short, and brother of Nick (Angie), Molly (Ray), Tim (Ashley) and Jim (Stephanie). He was described as a free spirit and man of integrity who embraced life to the fullest. In memoriams to the ‘Partners in Caring’ of the Arnprior Hospital were being accepted in his memory.

NEWS

Driving campaign set for May 23-24 News - When you’re driving, focus your attention on the road. It’s a simple message but one too many Canadians ignore. In fact, texting behind the wheel makes you up to 23 times more likely to crash. And nearly 80 per cent of collisions are due to distracted drivers. To help raise awareness and offer a platform to speak out about the dangers of distracted driving, Allstate Insurance Company of Canada is encouraging Canadians to sacriďŹ ce their personal tech devices and the Internet for 23 hours in a national event called Distraction-Free 23 (DF23), which runs from May 23 to 24. Despite legislation in all Canadian jurisdictions, distracted driving is still a serious problem and fatal collisions caused by distracted drivers are at an all-time high. A 2013 study commissioned by Allstate Canada and Abacus Data revealed 90 per cent of respondents admitted to driving with some form of a distraction, an increase of 15 per cent since Allstate Canada conducted a similar survey in 2010. “DF23 is like a one-day fast from your personal tech distractions, and is designed to help get the attention of your friends and family,â€? says Ryan Michel of Allstate Canada. “In today’s society, people seem to feel the need to be connected 24-7, even when they’re driving, but if you demonstrate you can go 23 hours without your tech device, surely you, and others, can go a few minutes in the car without your device.â€? The national event kicks off at 6 p.m. on this Friday, May 23 and runs until 5 p.m. on May 24. During this time participants are encouraged to spend quality time with others without using personal electronic devices (cell phones, tablets, mp3 players, etc.) or the Internet. Distraction-Free 23 is open to all Canadians.

Simply visit distractionfree23.ca to sign the pledge promising to give up your personal tech distractions for a full 23 hours and help spread the message that distracted driving kills. It’s easy to login with Facebook or Twitter accounts and add an avatar on your social media proďŹ le, letting friends know you’re disconnecting from the online world for the duration of the event. “Most people think summer is the safest time of year to be driving. Yet while the roads are clear and dry, it is in fact the deadliest season,â€? says Michel. “We’re holding DF23 in May to increase awareness of the dangers of the road when people are thinking about getting away. “There’s strength in numbers,â€? Michel adds. “So the more people we have pledging and sharing their pledges to go Distraction-Free 23, the stronger our message will be.â€? Allstate Canada piloted the Distraction-Free 23 initiative last fall, including an event with 60 teens at Rick Hansen Secondary School in Mississauga - which was an eye-opening and inspiring experience for the students (video) – and a national online pledge that saw over 1,300 Canadians across the country participate. This year, Allstate is partnering with Student Life Network in a contest where Canadian students who sign the DF23 pledge will have a chance to win a prize that includes pizza and a movie for the winner and 23 friends or a limo ride and dinner for the winner and six friends. And if students sign up as part of their school and encourage at least 10 of their classmates to take the pledge, the school will be automatically entered for a chance to win the ‘High School Spirit’ prize of $1,000. For more on the campaign and contest, visit justdrivecanada.ca.

Pinto Valley Ranch: the end off an era e Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - It’s the end of an era for Pinto Valley Ranch and the beginning of another for the Jardine family. Tracey and Ben Jardine, the third generation to run the ranch since its inception almost six decades ago, made the difficult decision to close the stables to the public in order to spend more time with their three children. June 1 will be the last day open before the stables become a private boarding and training facility. “It was hard and scary,” said Tracey, sitting at the large kitchen table with a cup of coffee. “But we’re happy we made this decision.” Since taking ownership of the farm more than five years ago from Tracey’s parents, Ernie and Gail Smith, the family’s waking hours had been devoted to running the business: caring for the animals, maintenance of the property, taking visitors out on horseback and all the other minute details involved in operating a ranch. “Myself or my husband have been on every trail ride,” said Tracey. “You’re burnt out for your children. I don’t want to do that anymore. “My husband (in the Canadian Forces) laughingly says he goes to work to get a break.” The decision to close was based on the benefit to the family. The business hit all the goals and pro-

Tracey Jardine, the third generation to run Pinto Valley Ranch, is preparing to start a new chapter with her family. The farm will become a private boarding and training facility after June 1. jections the Jardines set when they took over the farm, leaving them comfortable financially. The family closed the restaurant Step Up Ruby’s earlier this year. “It’s kind of crazy that we’d close now, but my gut’s telling me to shut it down,” said Tracey. “My kids should be the ones that benefit,” she added. “Pinto Valley Ranch will still be here, just in a different format.” Instead, Pinto Valley will become

a private boarding and training facility, leaving the family more time to enjoy the farm itself, and each other. The Jardines wants to be able to attend fairs, enter horse shows, grow a garden and spend more time with family and friends. They will be able to RSVP “yes” to birthdays, weddings and celebrations – something they weren’t able to do since every weekend was booked solid far in advance.

A young Ernie Smith shows off his skills with a lasso. “We’ll get time to do all that now,” said Tracey. “I’m excited about having a garden.” STARTED AS DAIRY FARM

The farm has been in operation for 58 years. It was purchased by

Many memories at Pinto Valley Continued from Page 33

“Friends continually dropped by for a visit and a horseback ride. The number of riders continued to increase, to the point where Morley put up a sign stating 25 cents per ride as an effort to discourage riders. His efforts were not successful and more and more people were dropping by the farm for a horseback ride. The children enjoyed the horses so much that they successfully talked their father into opening a horseback riding facility,” states the farm’s history.

I think the blessing is we can stay and enjoy the farm.

Ben and Tracey Jardine, the third generation to run Pinto Valley Ranch, are preparing to start a new chapter with their family. to retirement. Tracey said she wanted to raise her children on a farm where they would have the opportunity to gain a vast array of knowledge and skills. She and her father hammered out a deal at the kitchen table, and Ernie and Gail moved to a house across the road. The memories are many and photographs fill a number of albums and frames; snapshots of moments frozen in time during the long run of

Pinto Valley. Ernie remembers how the petting zoo came about; a client asked him to provide farm animals for an event, something Pinto didn’t have available. So on his drive to Ottawa, Ernie stopped at farms to “borrow” the animals. He returned the animals on his way home and the farmers never knew, he said. When he told them what he’d done, they had a laugh. The success

Auction set for June 14 News - Pinto Valley Ranch will host its annual auction at the farm on Saturday, June 14. The farm is closing to become a private boarding and training facility after June 1, the last day open to the public. Many of Pinto Valley’s horses and petting zoo animals will be available in the

auction, said Tracey Jardine, who runs the ranch with her husband Ben. Currently, they have close to 50 horses in the herd, as well as ponies, goats, sheep, ducks, pigs and chickens. The auction will be held at Pinto Valley Ranch, at 1969 Galetta Side Rd., starting at 10 a.m. “until we finish,” said Tracey.

Ernie and Gail Smith’s wedding featured horse-drawn carriages from Pinto Valley Ranch. “You meet ’em from all over,” said Ernie. Ernie said he believes his daughter has made the right decision; running a farm and a business leaves little time to spend with loved ones. “I like a new chapter,” he

Ernie was 10 when his father bought the property. He and Gail partnered with his parents before purchasing Pinto Valley. Tracey grew up on the farm with her three siblings, helping to keep the operation running as it continued to grow. After they were married, Tracey and Ben moved into a house just down the road with their three children: Payton, 14, Reese, 12, and Carter, 8. When their eldest was 10, the Jardines began looking for their own farm and the Smiths were looking forward

prompted him to stock his own animals in a petting zoo. The ranch and its horses have also been used in a number of productions – from Disney’s The Liberators (which Ernie also rode in) to music videos for Canadian country music artist Kira Isabella and re-enactments of world war battles. “I trained the soldiers over two weeks,” said Ernie about a First World War re-enactment in Kingston. “We had a team (of two horses) go to the States for (U.S. President Barak) Obama’s inauguration. Another time, they had a family from the States park their camper on the ranch for three days. The family had planned a winter vacation in Calabogie, but the weather was too mild for outdoor activities. They met the Smiths, who offered Pinto Valley, saving the family’s trip.

Local minister was a bit like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Lifestyle - The minister, I thought, was like he was two different people. I had an unbelievable fear of him when he was in church delivering what seemed to be an endless sermon with words that were completely above my

head. I had no idea what he was talking about, and when we left the service to go to our Sunday school class, I lived in dread that the Sunday school teacher would ask me what I had learned that day from the sermon.

Thankfully she was high on the Beatitudes and the Psalms, and that was usually what our lesson was about. The minister was a whale of a man, and when he walked down the middle of the church to get to the pulpit, his shoes squeaked like fury, which Emerson said meant they hadn’t been paid for. How he knew that bit of information was beyond me. By the time the minister had climbed into the pulpit, which was a round carved wood affair high above the pews, he was panting like he was going to take his last breath, and winter and summer, the sweat poured off his face in little rivulets. He frowned a lot, and I always thought he was angry with the lot of us, or that he knew that some of us had committed some horrible sin. And to emphasise a point, he pounded the rail of the pulpit with his bible that I was sure would one day fly out of his hand and hit me square on the head since we sat in the front pew, a few feet away. His wife, whom Mother said was a saint ... a pure saint, sat ramrod straight, looking neither left nor right. Through perfect planning, Sunday school always ended at the exact time the last hymn was being sung in the church. Then we children marched back into the church, standing at the door where we were expected to shake hands with the minister. This scared the living starch out

MARY COOK Memories of me, convinced that he could read my mind and he would know every evil thought I had ever had in my head about bad Marguirite, and know ever sin I had ever committed. I couldn’t wait to get in the buggy and get back home to the farm. And often then, I would see another side to our minister. I wasn’t sure if it was part of his duties as our spiritual leader, or if he just liked a good meal occasionally, but we could always count on a pastoral visit at least once every two weeks when the summer weather came. He didn’t own a car, but he did have a buggy, and an old nag of a horse that was much like our poor old Harry with the heaves. You could have walked in our lane faster than the minister’s horse pulling the buggy. And he always came at our dinner time at the noon hour. Mother would pump his hand, welcome him in, and my sister Audrey, without even being asked, would scrunch up the plates on the table, and make room for another place. Mother made no effort to tidy things up, or make the meal more fancy. We didn’t even get out the dishes that had come in

puffed wheat. The only change was Mother sat between my sister Audrey and me, leaving the end of the table for the Minister. Father, of course, sat where he always did, at the other end. And instead of Father saying Grace, the minister, on Mother’s invitation said the blessing, which was long and purposeful. Then I would see an entirely different man from the one I saw in the Lutheran church on Sunday. He and Father told jokes, slapping the table with the palm of their hands, and all the time, he was amply lading his plate with seconds and even third helpings of everything before him, which pleased Mother beyond words. Even a visitor the stature of the minister didn’t stop Father from pouring out his tea into his saucer to cool it off, and then drinking it. And as soon as the meal was over, Father got up from the table, minister or not, and headed back out to the fields. Always, I knew what was going to happen next. Audrey would be sent to the smoke house and the chicken coop. She would come back with a roast and a link or two of sausages, and a small basket of fresh eggs. Everett would, without asking, have cornered a fowl, pushed it squawking into a grain sack, and everything would be put in the minister’s buggy.

The minister would pump Mother’s hand, ruffle my hair, tell Audrey again how she was growing into a fine young woman, and my three brothers that he would see them in church, and then with great effort he would climb into the buggy, and the old horse without any direction from his owner, would turn in the yard and head out the lane. Audrey and I would help Mother redd up the kitchen and she would tell us how poor the minister was, and how little he was paid, and that often he and his wife didn’t have enough money to buy food, and how they would rely on the generosity of the members of the Lutheran church to survive. I knew the Depression was all around us, but I didn’t know anyone out in the country who didn’t have enough food for their table. I would watch the buggy disappear into the farthest reaches of the lane, and I would think again how the minister was like two different people. The stern, no-nonsense man in the pulpit on a Sunday, and then there was the man who could laugh and mingle with the common folk around a kitchen table.

A survivor of 51 bombing missions and friend of many Lifestyle - With Senior’s Month, June, just around the corner, Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home’s Liz Wall is taking the opportunity to introduce readers to one of Canada’s outstanding seniors living in Arnprior, George Freeman. In the Seniors at Home Program’s May newsletter within the regular feature, ‘On Tour with Nancy’, readers were introduced to Freeman, a 92 year-old gentleman living at Island View Suites. For those who did not have the opportunity to read the newsletter, Seniors at Home had promised, because his story was so fascinating and due to space, that it would love to have him featured in the local newspaper. Today Freeman lives at Island View Suites in Arnprior and depends on the Para Transit Care Coach service provided by Seniors at Home. In his youth he served in the Canadian military and later travelled the world with his

high ranking position in the Bank of Canada. Read along and learn more. Nancy Peck Seniors at Home

We would like to introduce you to the man under the hat. I say that because 92 year-old George Freeman, always wears a gentleman’s hat. And though he sports a walker, his wife, June warned me, “He’s quick on his feet, Nancy, so you’ll have to run to keep up with him.” Man was she right! Every week I would pick up this sweet, adorable man from Island View Suites and take him to his destination. He was always smiling and quiet but always had a “Good morning, Nancy,” and we’d be on our way. As most of you may know, sometimes we could have three passengers at a time, so our conversations can get pretty interesting and funny.

Eric and four beautiful grandchildren. George’s daughters Kate and Victoria say that George was not always quiet. He used to be the life of the party. They grew up on his great stories, especially of his childhood and his experiences as a navigator in the RCAF during WWII. “He always told the stories with such humour and dramatic flair. These days he is quieter, but still comes up with great puns. He is kind and honourable. He has a lot of compassion for all kinds of people and always puts the needs of others ahead of his own,” said Kate. She continues: “My Dad has always been mischievous and has a great sense of humour. Mom says he used to propose to her every Friday night and take it back every Monday morning. He has never been cautious and has had numerous escapades. He is like a cat with nine lives.” He survived a crash on take-off with a full load of fuel and bombs on board during the war. He survived falling off the roof of their home when he landed on the ladder below. He survived falling from the hay loft to the barn below, impaling his neck on a rusty nail on the way down, and he survived falling backwards while mowing the lawn and having the blade chop off the top of his shoe, just missing his toe by a hair. His greatest survival, however, may have been during the Second World War on what could have been his 52nd and final bombing mission.

George was in the RCAF but attached to a Commonwealth Squadron made up of Australians, New Zealanders, Indians and other Canadians based out of Dunsfield, England. The majority of his bombing runs were over France (including night operations as part of D-day). After he and his crew had completed the 51st bombing mission, McKenzie King ordered all the Canadians attached to other non-RCAF squadrons, such as the Commonwealth RAF, back to Canada to re-muster with the RCAF. George’s crew, captained by an Australian, ‘Bobby’, with whom he had become very close, picked up a new navigator and resumed operations. Tragically, they were shot down and all killed on one of their next missions. That one change in the routine of war may well have saved George’s life. June always told the girls that “McKenzie King saved your father’s life.” Kate tells us that her dad always felt terribly guilty for not being with them. Later, while in Australia as part of his work with the Bank of Canada, George made a special trip to visit Bobby’s parents. “Dad has never been afraid to try something new and when he retired from life as an economist with the Bank of Canada, during which he (and my lucky mom) travelled all over the world, he decided to buy a farm just outside of Arnprior and in 1980 started a new career as a sheep farmer.” He and June remained on their farm until moving to Island View Suites in 2011. Wow – one more thing Kate. Tell me about the picture of your dad and Trudeau. “That was when dad was a Commissioner for the Royal Commission on Prices and Incomes in the 1970s and had lunch with both Mr. Trudeau and the late Ron Basford. (Trudeau was Prime Minister of Canada at the time and Basford a Liberal cabinet minister who passed away in 2005). Thank you, Kate and Victoria, for sharing your dad’s incredible story with us. Now we all know what’s under that cute hat of his – there is a man of intelligence, a veteran, a husband, a father, grandfather, a man of adventure, fun and so much more!

Galetta area’s hard-rock past comes to life Terry Currie

Lifestyle – More than 70 history buffs from all over the Central Ottawa Valley gathered at the Galetta Community Centre on May 10, a morning of glorious sunshine. They came to hear the story of Galetta’s Kingdon Mine. First, Jim Armstrong, past president of the Fitzroy Historical Society, gave the group a Power-Point presentation about the mine. Then the Galetta Women’s Institute served a great lunch of fresh sandwiches, after which the group went to the mine-site on Morris island, a couple of kilometres from Galetta for a tour guided by Donald C. Johnston. The Kingdon Mine was, in 1928, the most productive lead mine in Canada, supplying 200,000 tons of lead ore a year, from which the onsite smelter extracted around 6,000 tons of lead annually. In those days a lot of lead went into batteries for automobiles. The main Canadian battery manufacture was in Montreal, a direct ride by rail to Galetta. The mine employed around 200 men, who earned wages far better than any other workers in the area. Miners made $10 a day at a time when farm hands made $3 a week and a retail shop girl 50 cents a day. The Galetta mine was a big business with a depth of 2,600 feet and eight miles of ‘drifting’, that is, hori-

The Kingdon Mine was only surpassed in production in the early ‘30s when the giant Sullivan Mine in Kimberly, B.C. came into full production. The Kingdon Mine closed in 1931 in the depths of the Depression. When war threatened in 1939, the price of lead sky-rocketed and speculators tried to get the Kingdon back in production. The mine had flooded in dis-use.

Visitors came from all over the Central Ottawa valley to visit the site of They tried to pump it dry but could the Kingdon Mine May 10. not; maybe the higher water-levels in the Ottawa River produced by the Chat Falls Dam after 1931, had some role in the problem. Last Saturday the visitors saw the remains of this once-flourishing industry. Site owner Donald C. Johnston, developer of Vydon Acres, gave the audience a guided tour of the remains, including the pits, the smelter site, the tailings dump and the site of the unique suspension bridge that allowed the workers to cross the Mis-

sissippi Snye and to walk directly to their homes in Galetta. The pits are still there, hundreds of feet deep and now full of water. The foundation wall of the smelter looms through the underbrush that is spreading over the site. It was a hundred meters long, built of massive concrete that is still solid today. It’s a powerfully evocative reminder of a time not so long ago

when West Carleton was an important place on the industrial map of Canada. The tour was a great piece of public history. There were visitors from all over the area including a solid representation of French-speaking historians from the Quebec side. The event ended at two o’clock and participants went home wellsatisfied with a rewarding look at an important piece of our past.

Brownies learn skills at survivor camp Community - The 4th Arnprior Brownies wrapped up their season with a two-night Survivor Camp on the May 3-4 weekend. Girls arrived Friday night and were randomly selected into one of three teams. Girls then named their teams and designed a team flag. During the day on Saturday, girls competed in 10 activities where they were judged, given points and timed.

A ‘Tribal Council’ was held Saturday evening where girls got to vote for their team’s Most Spirited Player. Girls finished on Sunday morning with a hike through a very wet and muddy trail in the pouring rain. What an adventure. The girls are looking forward to their next year in guiding beginning in September. Registration for any level of guiding begins online June 1 at www.girlguides.ca.

ENTERTAINMENT

New musical comedy has fun with contemporary Valley life since 2006. Camille McLean, in her third Stone Fence production, is the youngest cast member and a strong singer and actor. Comedian and story-teller Ambrose Mullin has been with the company since it was founded, as has John Haslam, who acts, sings and plays guitar in this show. Singer Fran Pinkerton is a perennial crowd favourite as is her son, actor/musician Robin Pinkerton, who is back with the company after several years of child rearing with his growing family. Director Chantal Elie-Sernoskie is back onstage, in her fourth year with the company. Theilheimer plays fiddle and bass guitar and is musical director. The show will be performed in more Ottawa Valley locations than Stone Fence Theatre has ever visited before, including its main stage base in Eganville, as well as Rankin, Barry’s Bay, Killaloe, Pembroke, Cobden and Renfrew. The company is purchasing new

sound and lighting equipment this year that will enable it to travel more easily and provide better sound quality and viewing in all the locations it visits. A new feature this year at Stone Fence Theatre is that a different young performer or group of young performers will entertain before each show. The Stone Fence Theatre website includes a schedule of young performers so customers can choose which young artists they want to see and hear. A big part of the company’s popularity - it’s now in its 12th year - is that most performances feature ‘supISH THEILHEIMER/SUBMITTED per theatre’ prepared Ottawa Valleystyle. Roast Ontario beef with home- John Haslam and an unidentified elk that serves as a symbol of Ottawa made salads and baking is the feature Valley priorities in G’day, We’re from the Valley, EH! again this year, with options available for special dietary needs.

And they are among the subjects of comic commentary in G’day, We’re from the Valley, EH!, an all-new musical comedy from Stone Fence Theatre. While most songs and stories of the Ottawa Valley look at its past, this show is different. With a cast of experienced entertainers who have worked together on many successful shows, this show looks at contemporary Valley life and has a lot of fun doing so. “People who don’t live here sometimes make assumptions about rural life that don’t hold up,” says the company’s producer, Ish Theilheimer, lead writer of the show. “When we started brainstorming about it, we came up with a lot of hilarious ideas and some things people felt strongly about.” Like many Stone Fence Theatre productions, the script was developed collaboratively with the crew. Director/actor Chantal Elie-Sernoskie, actor John Haslam and musician Peter Brown all did writing for the project, and all the actors contributed ideas. The cast includes Phil Hoffman of Pembroke, Maureen McCoy of Cobden, Camille McLean, Robin Pinkerton of Eganville, and Ambrose Mullin and Fran Pinkerton of Killaloe, as well as Elie-Sernoskie (Barrys Bay), Haslam (Killaloe) and Theilheimer (Golden Lake). The show begins with the story of Killaloe’s Delmer Hartwig, who won $15 million in a lottery last fall but shocked big-city reporters by delaying on picking up his winnings until after a planned elk-hunting trip. “Delmer won a lot of hearts with what he did,” said Theilheimer, who wrote a song about him as soon as he read the news last fall. “People really identified with that. Most Valley people work hard but probably wouldn’t live here if they thought money was the most important thing in the world.” The song ‘Delmer’s Priorities’ is the first song in the show. From there, the show romps through scene after scene drawn from modern Valley life. We meet seasonally employed local contractors who have other responsibilities in winter such as watching their wives play hockey and doing child care. We see the bonds of matrimony strained at the local curling club. The company’s first rap number is a statement of Ottawa Valley pride called ‘Don’t Get My Valley Up’. The show lampoons smart phones, cheap imported junk and other so-called conveniences of modern life, and even takes us to Blues Tues in Wilno 100 years from now. ‘G’day...’ has a smaller cast than many of the company’s past efforts. “We wanted to work with a group of proven performers who really work well together, and it’s great to work with them all,” says Theilheimer. Peter Brown is one of the Ottawa Valley’s most sought keyboard players. Phil Hoffman is a recent broadcast arts graduate in his second year with the company. Maureen McCoy is a versatile actor, comedian and singer who has worked with the company

NUTRITION

Burning truth about barbecuing Ian Harris RNT

Opinion - The primary culprits are HCAs (heterocyclic amines), which are recognized carcinogens that form when meat, poultry and even fish, although to a much lesser extent, are cooked at high temperatures. Meat contains protein, which is made up of amino acids. When meat is exposed to the heat of grilling, barbecuing or frying, HCAs are created. Several human studies suggest there is an increased risk for various types of cancers related to consuming foods that contain these carcinogens. Four factors that influence that influence HCA formation are type of food, cooking method, temperature and time. These HCAs are created from a reaction from the animal protein during the browning process. However, they are not just on the surface of the meat such as charred bits. HCAs come from a heat-induced reaction within the muscle and are actually embedded within the cooked meat. Temperature is the most important factor in the formation of HCAs. Frying, broiling and barbecuing produce the largest amounts of HCAs because the meats are cooked at very high temperatures. One study conducted by researchers showed a threefold increase in the content of

Weight management, wellness and nutrition HCAs when the cooking temperature was increased from 392°F to 482°F. Oven roasting and baking are done at lower temperatures, so lower levels of HCAs are likely to form. However, gravy made from meat drippings does contain substantial amounts of HCAs. Cooking with liquid such as boiling, steaming, poaching or stewing are done at or below 212°F; cooking at this low temperature creates negligible amounts of the chemicals. Foods cooked a long time (‘welldone’ instead of ‘medium’) will form slightly more HCAs. Other forms of HCAs come from over cooking cheese when making nachos, lasagna and pizza. Even burnt toast can produce significant levels of HCAs. Other tips to help prevent the formation of heterocyclic amines (HCAs): • Keep the heat low, keep meat away from direct heat, remove grizzle and/or fat before cooking and avoid charring or burning. • If you have multiple burners, use the indirect method of cooking. Place the meat, poultry or fish on the on the cold middle burner of the barbecue allowing the hot burners on the left

and right do the work. • Keep meat portions small so that they only spend a brief time on the grill, like kabobs with fruits and vegetables, • Marinating meats for 30 minutes before putting them on the grill can significantly reduce the amount of HCAs. Research has shown that an olive oil, lemon juice and garlic marinade cut HCA levels in chicken by as much as 90 per cent. Six hours of marinating in beer or red wine cut levels of two types of HCA in beef steak by up to 88 per cent compared with a steak that was not marinated. • Remove any burned parts of the meat before eating. Adding veggies to your plate will provide a healthy dose of antioxidants. • Since meat and poultry produce the most HCAs because they contain the most amino acids and creatine, which are converted into HCAs. Cooking with seafood produces much less and plant foods like veggie burgers, fruits and vegetables produce little or no HCAs.

Ottawa Valley organic co-op receives local food grant News – While the Ontario Natural Food Co-op hosted its annual meeting April 26, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne announced that he Co-operative was one of the lucky recipients of a grant from the Local Food Fund. The Ontario Natural Food Co-op has been the incubator and umbrella supporting the Local Organic Food Co-ops (LOFC) Network for the past three years, through which food and farm co-ops across the province have been supported in their emergence and development. In three years, the Network has expanded from about 20 to nearly 70 co-operative food enterprises, ranging from farms and distributors to retailers and cafĂŠs. “We see co-operatives playing a vital role in a more local, sustainable food economy,â€? said Ontario Natural Food Co-op general manager Randy Whitteker. “We’re very happy to be partnering with the province to support local food co-ops.â€? The funding will help four regional co-operative lead organizations (members of the LOFC Network) host a series of forums on local organic food co-operative development and expand their capacity as regional food hubs through targeted business planning, leadership and governance training.

The co-operative leads include the Ottawa Valley Food Co-op (OVFC). The OVFC is a collaborative of farmers, market gardeners, producers and consumers. It envisions a local, sustainable food system, which is economically viable for producers and provides fresh, healthy food and products to consumers. Monthly on-line ordering of local food is distributed to a variety of locations across Renfrew County and Ottawa. Visit http://www.ovfc.ca. Additionally, the funding will support the LOFC Network in the redevelopment of its business and strategic plan, as well as the strengthening of regional food-based economies as ONFC continues to explore local sources of local foods for its private label brand. The LOFC Network prides itself on its ability to offer its members education and training, networking, and capacity building opportunities, and looks forward to making use of the Local Food Fund grant as an opportunity to showcase a co-operative approach to developing resilient local food systems by cultivating co-operative food hubs as regional centres of excellence.

Well Mitchell, another year has passed since you have been gone. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. When you left us a piece of my heart left with you. But with the support and love of my family and friends, each day comes and goes without you here. Knowing you are with me every day and the strength you had and showed gives me strength to live each day without you.

“Rest in peace Jack; you will be forever in our hearts.” Visitation was held at Delta Funeral Home, 5329 Ladner Trunk Road, Delta, BC, on Saturday, May 17th, 2014 at 2:00 pm.

L’Arche to hold 50th anniversary dinner, dance celebration in Arnprior L’Arche Arnprior

Community - You may know someone who is a member of L’Arche Arnprior. But did you know that there are 145 L’Arche communities, in over 40 countries on five continents? All of these L’Arche communities are joining together in 2014 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the very first L’Arche home. The following information has been obtained from the L’Arche International website http:// www.larche.org/en/discover/larche_since_its_ creation, and explains a bit about the history of the organization. The roots of L’Arche International lie in the first L’Arche community, founded in 1964 in Trosly-Breuil, a small village north of Paris. Encouraged by Father Thomas Philippe, a Dominican priest who became his spiritual mentor, Jean Vanier invited two people with intellectual disabilities – Philippe Seux and Raphael Simi – to leave their institution and come to live with him in a small house in Trosly-Breuil, which he named ‘L’Arche’. The small community grew fast, welcoming new people with an intellectual disability and young people from around the world who came to share their lives. Unforeseen by Jean, it did not take long for people to decide to create new L’Arche communities in their own countries. And so 1969 saw the creation of the first home in Canada, near Toronto, called ‘Daybreak’, the first of many later communities in North America. In the 1970s, the vision of L’Arche also in-

This expansion meant that L’Arche needed to open up to a wide variety of cultures, languages, and social backgrounds.Although founded in the Catholic tradition, L’Arche communities rapidly become ecumenical or interreligious, finding their point of unity in a common set of human values.

very own DJs, Dave Fridgen. Fridgen has generously volunteered his services with the L’Arche community here for many years. We can always call on him to provide us with lively music suited to our dancing requirements, as well as for an annual appearance as a certain personage carrying a sack full of gifts. Peggy Keaney was one of the first assistants when L’Arche Arnprior began back on the farm in Frontenac in 1977. She has been involved with L’Arche ever since, in L’Arche communities in Ontario and working with L’Arche Canada. Peggy will share some stories about the beginnings of L’Arche in France and Canada, alongside a slideshow of photos from the early days in France, Frontenac and Arnprior. L’Arche Arnprior would like to take this opportunity to thank St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church here in Arnprior for their generosity in sharing their facilities with our community on an on-going basis. We have the privilege of being able to hold events in their hall on a monthly basis, including our music club on the third Tuesday of each month, from 3:30-4:30 p.m., which is open to anyone who would like to join with us in making enthusiastic music. This congregation, along with others in town, has also welcomed us for annual events including Maundy Thursday, our dinner dances, and fun days together such as Easter Monday and Family Day.
