There is a new clean yard bylaw in McNab-Braeside, but a homeowner.COMis not likely to be fined because of out-of-control dandelions. Council passed the new bylaw May 17 to give the bylaw officer the ability to force owners of untidy properties to clean up more quickly. Faced with several reoccurring complaints in the township, council decided the regulations are needed as its property standards bylaw deterred fast resolution because of vagueness in the regulations and a lengthy appeal period. “This will speed up the process substantially,” said Mayor Tom Peckett.

At 100, Doug Snair must be the oldest person in the country to join a Royal Canadian Legion branch. A survivor of the Halifax Explosion and the Almonte Train Wreck, Snair reflected on his life and chuckled when indicating that he does harbour a tinge of regret related to the organization for war veterans. “I should have joined a long time ago,” Snair said from his apartment at Island View Suites in Arnprior. “I don’t know why I didn’t. I’d seen them (legionnaires) around. They’d leave a plant for me at Christmas. I’d talk to them. I know these chaps. So I joined two months ago. I’m sorry I didn’t join a long time ago.” He doesn’t appear to have many regrets or much time to wallow in sentimentality. The Haligonian was less than 2 years old when the largest man-made explosion prior to the development of nuclear weapons occurred. The maritime disaster happened Dec. 6, 1917, when a French cargo ship laden with high explosives collided with a Norwegian vessel in the Narrows, a strait connecting the upper Halifax Harbour to Bedford Basin.

Bylaw on clean yards forces timely response to complaints Continued from front

Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden said he anticipated the bylaw officer can use the new regulations to respond to complaints in a more timely action and force quick action. However, councillors Mark MacKenzie and Scott Brum expressed concern about the wording that says property-owners should keep their land “free from any overgrowth of weeds such as dandelions, ragweed and thistles.”

“Overgrowth is very subjective,” said MacKenzie. Brumm said that as his property is surrounded by farmers’ fields, he can’t do anything about his lawn “turning yellow” for a couple of months each year. “Besides, they (dandelions) are pretty. I pick them and give them to my wife,” he said. “So you’re helping the bees (with the dandelions),” added Peckett. He noted the process is still complaint-

Municipal Matters

driven and bylaw officer Jim McBain will work with people in attempt to resolve disputes before the township resorts to fines. Coun. Heather Lang noted the bylaw’s wording is standard in regulations in many municipalties. The bylaw states that property-owners shall maintain their property clean and free from refuse and debris. It prohibits such thing as inoperable vehicles, old appliances, furniture or tires being outside in plain view. It would also require dead or damaged trees to be removed and vegetation not to exceed 15 centimetres (six

inches). Swimming pools and hot tubs have to be in working condition. The new law allows bylaw officers to enter properties at “reasonable” times for inspection purposes. Fines up to $200 per day can be levied after a 48-hour notice to comply and a landowner can be charged the costs of removing garbage or other work the township might undertake to put the property in compliance. Renfrew also recently updated its clean property bylaw and Arnprior and Horton are in the process of updating their property standards bylaws.

Township donates $1,000 for fire relief John Carter

Arnprior Fire Department to conduct Home Fire and Life Safety Program In the upcoming weeks of June volunteer members of the Arnprior Fire Department will be conducting home inspections in randomly selected neighbourhoods in the community as part of the Home Fire and Life safety Program. The goal of the program is to raise awareness and stress that smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are not only a legal requirement. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are also the early warning system that gives you the time you need to escape a fire or carbon monoxide emergency. Firefighters will be dressed in their Arnprior Fire Department uniforms and asking for your co-operation in allowing them to check the condition of the alarms in your home.

John.carter@metroland.com

McNab-Braeside council has donated $1,000 to the Fort McMurray wildfire relief effort. Council agreed to the donation at its May 17 meeting after Mayor Tom Peckett noted that past councils had contributed $1,000 to help people “in dire straits” in the past. As well, McNab-Braeside has received

support from other municipalities, the latest being the severe flooding in 2009. Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden, noting the more than $8,000 raised by Arnprior firefighters in a boot drive is being matched by the federal government, asked if the municipality’s donation will also be duplicated. Peckett said it would be, but noted it would all be coming out of taxpayers’ pockets. Earlier in the month, Arnprior council donated $8,000 to the cause.

Charity Car Wash Members of the Arnprior Fire Department will be hosting a Charity Car Wash on Saturday May 28 from 9 am until 1 pm at the fire station,67 Meehan St. Proceeds from the car wash will go the Tim Horton’s Camp Day and the upcoming CHEO Telethon. Bring your car for a wash and the kids (big and small) to see the fire trucks.

Tragedy of Halifax Explosion changed Snair family’s trajectory Continued from front

More than 1,600 of the city’s 65,000 people died instantly; another 9,000 were injured, with at least 300 of those perishing. Hardly a window was left unbroken. The tragedy changed the trajectory of his family’s course. “I don’t remember any of it,” Snair said. “Our house was completely demolished in the explosion. We had to move to the Annapolis Valley, to Kemptville.” Snair’s childhood was spent in one of Canada’s most idyllic settings, between the Bay of Fundy and Atlantic Ocean. He had a lifelong love of sports and learning, would attend Acadia University and study chemistry before joining the navy for a six-year stint. After that he studied physiology at the University of Toronto. A scientist studying the pituitary gland working for the federal government for 30 years, Snair has no complaints about his employer. “I was treated very well in the government,” he said. “I was given a nice lab, assistants, good equipment. It was good.” That contrasts with a scientist’s life under Stephen Harper’s Conservative government of the last 10 years, he said. “It was bad. They couldn’t pub-

lish or anything. It was bad.” Snair follows politics pretty closely. Resting on the arm of his favourite chair is the right-leaning newspaper National Post, which he reads every morning. He is smitten with “Rosie” Barton on CBC News Network’s Power and Politics. And he flips to CTV’s Power Play for another perspective. The faces may change, but the message doesn’t. “There are lots of problems. There have been problems for thousands of years. It’s not something new. Fortunately we’ve had 75 years of relative peace. Atomic weapons chilled that part and put a danger on any aggression,” he said. “But there’s always been manoeuvrings. I like to watch the different manoeuvrings.” Keeping his mind sharp is part of the answer. So is eating right. He enjoys a good soup, a sandwich, salads too. All things in moderation: a glass or two of scotch per week, at most. Chatting and interacting with other residents is important, Snair said. Even though most of his peers passed on decades ago, he doesn’t appear lonely. His daughter and son-in-law live nearby and visit often. His kitchen table is full of birthday cards. Snair has little use for the spiritual side of life, although he smiles

Celebrating 24 Years

DOUG SNAIR broadly when pointing outside to a path that hugs the Madawaska River. “It’s a very nice walk along the river,” he said. “It was nothing for my wife and I to walk four to fivemiles a night. Now if I do a mile it feels like an accomplishment.” Thyra Shore of Renfrew would meet her future husband in Ottawa during the war. He was stationed there for a time. The got along immediately. “She was a very, very nice person; liked a lot of things,” he re-

called. “She liked to dance a lot.” It was during a visit to her parents on Dec. 27, 1942, that Snair found himself frighteningly close to another of Canada’s more memorable tragedies. The pre-married couple were on the stationary wooden passenger train when the 13-car steel train of soldiers slammed into it from the rear. “A girl was holding two seats for her friends. They never showed so we got them, otherwise we would have been standing at the back,” he said. “We weren’t hurt at all. Three people on the row across from us where killed. We were very fortunate.” When they got out on the platform, the true extent of the wreckage became manifest. The passage coaches were “split open” and “completely demolished.” Bloodied bodies were strewn everywhere as soldiers scrambled to help. When the smoke dissipated, 36 passengers were dead and more than 150 injured. Several more succumbed within the following weeks. Snair was never one to hold onto anger and pain. He didn’t blame anyone for the carnage. Maybe a signal light should have gone up, but the oncoming train had tremendous speed anyway. The precise cause was never determined.

“It was amazing more people weren’t killed.” They were back on the train to visit her parents again for New Year’s. That time a terrible snowstorm rendered them stranded in Stittsville. “We got stuck in the snow on the way back and had to stay there all night.” He never did suggest her parents come visit them in the city next time. During his 100th birthday party on May 17, Snair was given a medal he should have gotten following the Second World War. A legion member noticed one day, while Snair was in uniform brandishing his medals, that he was one short. “He looked at me and said, ‘You’re missing one.’ I didn’t know that. So they got it for me,” he said, laughing. “I don’t know why I never bothered to join before. I went a couple of times in Toronto with a friend. All they talked about were battles they were in. I wasn’t impressed. I was too busy for that. “I should have joined a long time ago,” he reiterated. Snair said he looks forward to his fifth anniversary as a legionnaire. “Except five years is a long time at this age.”

Property assessments remain stable in McNab-Braeside John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

The average family home in McNab-Braeside has increased in value by about $7,000 since 2012, with a just under a one per cent boost expected this year. That was the news brought to township council May 17 by Ross

Jeffery of the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). Jeffrey, MPAC’s account manager of a new stakeholder and municipal relations service for Renfrew County, has been giving presentations to area councils prior to the latest round of property assessments being mailed out May 24. This new round of reas-

sessments will be again phased in over a four-year period, affecting the 2017 to 2020 municipal tax years. “In Eastern Ontario, home prices are fairly flat and stable,” Jeffery noted. McNab-Braeside’s four-year rise of about $7,000 “is not a big increase,” he added. It compares to an increase of $13,000 in Arnprior and $10,000 in Renfrew. MPAC figures show an average home in the township is assessed at $248,000. Preliminary figures indicate the median residential assessment change in the township from 2016 to 2017 is 0.8 per cent, compared to 1.1 per cent countywide. However, McNab-Braeside is bucking the trend when it comes to waterfront property, increasing 0.6 per cent compared to a 0.2 per cent drop in Renfrew County. An average waterfront property in McNab-Braeside rose about $8,000 in value to $353,000 from 2012 to 2016. Jeffery, a former municipal treasurer, told council that MPAC is working to improve communication and reduce challenges to its valuations. Last time in 2012, of five million properties assessed, three per cent of owners disagreed with the assessment. MPAC is trying to reduce that with a new early disclosure and consultation

process and a simpler and less cluttered assessment notice. When the assessment notice arrives this week, he suggests ”the first thing you need to do is ask yourself ‘Could I have sold my property for the assessed value as of Jan. 1, 2016?’” If the answer is yes, there is nothing more to do other than file it away for future reference, he said.

Jeffery said ratepayers can access property details for their neighbourhoods, along with market trends on the MPAC website. He said assessments are based on five major factors (location being the main one) with up to 200 minor factors being taken into account. Property assessment notices for farms and multi-residential properties will not be sent out until Oct. 11 and Oct. 18 respectively. When Jeffrey addressed Renfrew council, Reeve Peter Emon, the county warden, asked about MPAC’s consultations with municipalities. “Is there an opportunity to talk about governance of MPAC and the MPAC board, because when I look at the board the only person with what I would suggest with any knowledge of Eastern Ontario or small town Ontario or rural Ontario would be Coun. (Mary) Smith from County of Peterborough. I would suggest the board doesn’t accurately represent Ontario,” he said. “I would suggest the board needs to look at its composition to better represent Ontario. I would suggest that’s an issue for MPAC to address in the future.” Jeffery agreed to bring the information forward to the board. -With files from Sherry Haaima, Derek Dunn

aboutmyproperty.ca

If the answer is no, property owners should visit aboutmyproperty.ca to review the information MPAC has on file. If there are any errors, contact MPAC either online, at a field office or by phone and a representative will check it out and make any corrections. If an owner still thinks the assessment is out of whack, then step three is to contact MPAC and file a request for reconsideration. “If they’re still not happy with the value, they can file an appeal with the assessment review board, an independent tribunal operated by the province,” said Jeffery. Residential property owners now have 120 days from the issue date of their notice (Sept. 21) to file a request for reconsideration.

Road safety begins with you! DRIVING DISTRACTIONS SMART DRIVERS JUST DRIVE! When driving a vehicle, road safety is your first responsibility! Driving is a task that requires your full attention every time you get behind the wheel. As a driver, you must always remember to reduce driver distractions and focus on the driving task. In April of 2009, the Ontario government passed a new law that prohibits the use of hand-held wireless communication devices or hand-held electronic entertainment devices while driving. The use of hands-free devices will still be permitted and you can still use hand-held devices in emergency situations, such as calls to 911. The law also prohibits viewing display screens unrelated to driving such as laptops and DVD players.5 Using a hand-held or hands-free cell phone while driving makes a collision four times more likely. In fact, using a cell phone affects what a driver sees, reduces reaction time and changes the way drivers react - especially in heavy traffic. Motor vehicle collisions are the greatest single cause of traumatic workplace deaths in Ontario. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF POTENTIAL DRIVER DISTRACTIONS, INCLUDING: • Technology devices such as laptops, MP3s and headphones; • Reading maps or other material; • Grooming activities; • Eating or drinking; • Note taking; • Conversing with passengers; • Tending to children or pets; • Adjusting in-vehicle controls (radio, climate control and CD player). The following are some tips to help reduce driver distraction: • Put reading material in trunk if tempted to read; • Attend to personal grooming and plan your route before leaving; • Identify and preset your vehicle’s climate control, radio and CD player;

• Make it a habit to use your cell phone only when parked, have a passenger take the call or let the caller go to voice mail; • Do not engage in emotional or complex conversation; • If you are hungry or thirsty, take a break. Emergencies Having a cellular phone in your vehicle can be an important safety aid for drivers and passengers, whether for personal safety or for reporting a crime or a collision. If you must use your cell phone in an emergency that threatens your safety, consider the following tips: • Pull over safely if conditions allow; • Keep emergency calls as brief as possible; • Alert the caller that you are on the road; • End conversations immediately if driving conditions or situations become hazardous (for example, inclement weather, roadway construction, high-speed or high-volume traffic). CAR SAFETY In the province of Ontario, seat belts are mandatory for all passengers, and child safety seats are mandatory for all children up to the age of eight. CAR SEATS • Child car seats or booster seats are required for children up to the age of 8, weighing less than 80lbs and who stand less than 4 feet 9 inches tall. • Car crashes are the number one cause of death for Canadian children. • Properly used child car seats and booster seats can significantly reduce the chance of children being hurt and/ or killed in a collision. • Many car seats are installed improperly. Common errors include not tightening the seat belt and harness enough, and not properly using a tether strap when required. • For additional information on child booster seats, toddler forward-facing seats and infant rear-facing seats, visit www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/smartlove. Seat Belts4

• Effective December 1, 2006, in Ontario, every person travelling in a motor vehicle must wear a seat belt or use a child safety seat. The penalty for seat belt infractions is a fine between $60 and $500. Convicted offenders will receive two demerit points. • Drivers are responsible for ensuring that passengers under 16 years of age are using the seat belt or an appropriate child car seat. • Wearing your seat belt properly will dramatically increase your chance of surviving a motor vehicle collision. • Since seat belts were made mandatory, the number of people killed and injured in collisions in Ontario has steadily dropped. PEDESTRIAN SAFETY • Cross at marked crosswalks or traffic lights, not in the middle of the block or between parked cars. • Make sure drivers see you before you cross. • Cross when traffic has come to a complete stop; • At a traffic light, cross at the beginning of a green light. Do not cross once the “Don’t Walk” signal begins to flash or once the light has turned to yellow. Never cross on a red light; • Watch for traffic turning at intersections or entering and leaving driveways. • Wear bright or light-coloured clothing or reflective strips, when walking in dusk or darkness. • Low across the hips. BICYCLE SAFETY Cycling is a fun, healthy activity and an inexpensive way to get around. • Be equipped • Know the rules • Watch for hazards • Ride responsibly • Safety Equipment • Helmets In Ontario, it is the law that every cyclist under the age of 18 must wear an approved bicycle helmet.

www.ontarioroadsafety.ca 4 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, May 26, 2016

To check a proper fit: • There should be two finger widths between your eyebrows and the helmet. • The straps should be flat against the face. • The side straps should meet just below the ear making a V-shape under your ear lobe. • The chin strap should be fastened snugly with enough room to fit one finger between your chin and the strap. • Use the sizing pads provided with the helmet to adjust the fit. Be seen and heard Because bicycles are one of the smallest vehicles on the road, it is important for cyclists to be as visible as possible to other road users at all times. Lighting By law your bicycle must have a white front light and a red rear light or reflector when you ride between one-half hour before sunset and one-half hour after sunrise. As well, the law requires white reflective strips on the front forks and red reflective strips on the rear stays. Clothing Clothing can improve or reduce visibility. Yellow and white stand out best at night; dark colours are difficult to see. Pedal reflectors and reflective material on wrists, ankles, heels, clothing and helmets help others see you. Dawn and Dusk When riding directly into or away from the sun at these times, leave extra room and be ready for sudden stops or swerves by traffic around you. Be particularly alert at intersections and scan carefully. Be Heard Bicycles are very quiet vehicles, so it is important to warn other cyclists and pedestrians of your approach. By law, all bikes must have a working bell or horn to announce your approach. At times it is just as effective and more courteous to shout something like “passing on the left” when overtaking other cyclists and pedestrians.

Ontrac happy with job fair response

New Arnprior composites industry expects to expand quickly John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

Staff

Last week was a good one for the Arnprior Ontrac office. The Employment Resource Services centre was praised during the grand opening ceremony officially opening the new CCI Industries plant in Arnprior. Company officials thanked Ontrac for its help in finding CCI skilled workers. Ontrac also received positive feedback from both jobseekers and employers for its first ever job fair May 12 at the Arnprior Legion. About 200 people dropped by during the threehour event to talk to and drop resumes off to representatives of 22 employers set up in the Legion. A wide variety of employers were present from wellestablished Sullivan and Son to newcomers Lumbertown Ale House and McDonalds to L’Arche Arnprior. Ontrac job developers Ashley MacMillan and Dawn Henley were delighted with the response. So were the employers. All said it was worthwhile and they would be back next year, as Ontrac plans to make the job fair an annual event. While many of the jobseekers who dropped by were young, there was range of ages, noted MacMillan, including a retired man looking for a part-time driving job to keep him occupied. She said she expects the fair provided some of the job-seekers with employment opportunities. “We are hoping to hear some success stories.” She stressed that Ontrac provides services for both workers and employers and not only in Arnprior, but also West Carleton, McNabBraeside and Pakenham. For more, drop in at the Ontrac office in the Kenwood Centre or visit http:// getontrac.ca/arnprior-home.

Arnprior’s newest industry is already having an effect on the local job market. During a grand opening celebration at CC Industries May 13, it was noted that the company had scheduled job interviews this week with an eye to hiring five more workers. Competition Composites Inc. and CCI Balconies moved to Arnprior from Carp to take advantage of the extra space in a plant at 241 Fifth Ave., formerly occupied by Pacific Safety Products before it moved into larger premises. In comments prior to a ribboncutting to officially open the new plant, CCI chief operating officer Phil Locker and Dave Bradley said the extra space and skilled workforce available in the Arnprior area would allow the company to become more efficient and expand . “And we expect to grow quickly,” said Bradley. CCI already has 13 employees and the earning of a major Ottawa OCTranspo contract to replace side panels on buses necessitated the hiring of more workers. Locker and Bradley praised the Arnprior Ontrac office for its assistance in helping the company find suitable workers. Bradley said the company appreciated the support received from the town. “It’s so easy to get stuff done here,” he said. The company grew out of the world-wide reputation for excellence of Locker’s Phil’s Foils, which custom makes rudders, daggerboards and accessories for boats. Phil’s Foils is an intergral part of Competition Composites, which for 15 years has been building and shipping world-wide specialized composite parts for the marine, military, aerospace and telecommunications industries. Joining it in the new location is CCI Balconies, launched 18 months ago to build durable and light-weight composite architectural balcony systems for low and high rise residential buildings. It’s proving popular because it’s more energy-efficient than most other types of balconies. The company prides itself in creating specialized long-lasting plastic items. “These things will still be going long after I’m gone,” said produc-

He said if the company has great potential and could eventually operate three shifts 24 hours a day. “We can make anything you can imagine,” he said. “Find us a need and we’ll fill it. The sky’s the limit.” Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant welcomed the “impressive” industries and their workers to the Valley. “What’s really special about Arnprior is the businesses that come here tend to grow and grow,” she said. “Thanks for bringing your unique industry to the riding,” she added. “We’re going to enjoy watching you grow.” Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski called the opening “big news” for both Arnprior and Renfrew County. He noted the availability of skilled workers was a key in attracting the business to Arnprior. “We look forward to your niche business growing in Arnprior .. and enjoying many years of prosperity,” he said. Coun. Dan Lynch, subbing for Arnprior Mayor David Reid, said the town was grateful for the company’s “investment in our community.” “CCI and CCI Balconies are an excellent employment addition

Our hospitality industry in Nova Scotia, in all the Maritimes really, has huge growth potential.” The event was co-created by Carp’s Debbie Trenholm, president of Savvy Company. She boasts of

family connections to Nova Scotia and how easy it is promote its riches. “This event has never been done before, not to this magnitude,” Trenholm said. “Nova Scotia has so much to offer, from its hospitality to culinary arts!” There is an explosion of growth on a few fronts. The Atlantic province has gone from two wineries in 2015 to 24 today. Avant-garde restaurants doing new and innovative things with seafood and more are popping up everywhere, including fishing villages. And musicians like Jenn Grant and Joel Plaskett are ushering in a new generation of performers. Nova Scotia is a full day’s drive from Ottawa. Direct flights are also available.

Multiple fiddles and a drum fill the grandiose hall with upbeat music. Celtic, Acadian and Mi’kmaq cultures were well represented at the national capital event.

The meeting will be held at the location and time listed below. Following the presentation, OPG staff will be on hand to answer questions and discuss individual interests and concerns. We look forward to seeing you there.

Members of parliament Cheryl Gallant and Kent Hehr need only cross the street from their workplace to attend the event, held at the Sir John A. Macdonald building.

Arnprior playing good host to medical students To the delight of the local physician recruitment committee, several medical students are visiting Arnprior this week and next. It’s part of an initiative to attract more future doctors to rural areas. It gives students a chance for hands-on experience of a rural practice. The Arnprior hosts are planning an “exciting welcome” for the students. It will include an aerial flyover of the area from the Arnprior Airport, a tour of town facilities including the hospital and a lunch with local representatives from a variety of sectors. A student’s first year in medical school is an exciting time when they are exposed to

many new challenges and environments. This is when many of them will begin to contemplate what they might want to do after graduation, which is what the Eastern Regional Medical Education Program (ERMEP) has in mind with its ‘Community Week’. ERMEP is a non-profit program based in Perth. It was founded in 2002 and is funded by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. Partnering of Queen’s University School of Medicine and the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine, ERMEP places medical students and residents in rural and underserviced communities throughout Eastern Ontario. Many of

these placements are for thirdand fourth-year medical students doing longer rotations, but medical educators believe that exposing students to practice in outlying areas in their first year is a valuable part of their education, and makes them conscious of career opportunities outside of the academic centres. Many students are unaware of the variety of disciplines they can practice in a rural setting, whereas in an urban centre they must specifically focus on one discipline or another. In recognition of the need for rural exposure for first-year medical students, the Community Week program was founded. Each year, during these

specially designated weeks (for this year: May 24-27 for the University of Ottawa and May 30 to June 3 for Queens University), 190 students are being sent out by ERMEP into 36 Eastern Ontario communities. It is due to the generosity of the members of these communities that this week is possible. The local physicians and their staff donate their time to act as preceptors; B&Bs offer reduced rates to provide affordable accommodations; and families volunteer as billets, welcoming students into their homes. In some areas, the students are able to contribute by speaking to area high school students about their experi-

Cami’s Ride to begin in Arnprior Now the weather has turned warm enough for riding, all area motorcyclists are invited to participate in a fundraiser for a young area boy afflicted with cerebral palsy. Cami’s Ride will be held this Saturday, May 28. The motorcycle ride to raise funds for Cami Labonte, 7, who was born deaf and blind, will begin in Arnprior and end in Renfrew Proceeds will be used to help out the Cami’s family (both parents are in the military) with his special needs and care. Registration for the ride will be held at Arnprior’s Winners Circle in front of No Frills from 9 to 10 a.m. It’s kickstands up at 10:30 a.m. with a barbecue at the ride’s end at Mat-e-way Park in Renfrew about 1:30 p.m.

ence pursuing medicine as a career. It becomes a prime opportunity for a community like Arnprior to interest physicians in practicing and locating in their areas. It takes a lot of work from a lot of different people to make the weeks come together, but bringing the next generation of physicians to rural and under-serviced areas of the province is well worth the effort, say organizers.

Crews arrive at the scene, beside the drycleaners that faces the municipal parking lot, at about 4:20 p.m. Within 25 minutes water had the flames out, and a circular saw was cutting through metal to get at any embers.

All hail the highway’s four lanes

t was a quite a rush for drivers last Thursday heading north from Arnprior to Renfrew to suddenly realize the new westbound four-lane section of Highway 417 to Scheel Drive is open. What a pleasure. Once four days of work on the Campbell drive on/off ramps was complete late on May 19, the brand new lanes were opened with no fanfare. No more scary encounters on that stretch with huge semi-trailer trucks barreling toward you on the busy often two-lane nondivided highway. Plenty of room for motorists who always seem to be in such a hurry to pass. No more dodging through the construction zone wondering where the edge of the highway falls as long lines of traffic file closely by you in the next lane. Instead, drivers cruise along the new lanes safely divided by trees and rock from the seemingly never-ending eastbound traffic on other side. This latest section of four lanes gives motorists another glimpse of what travel up and down the Upper Ottawa Valley could be like. Even this short section cuts a few minutes of travel time and certainly makes driving safer. The no more sudden funneling of four lanes of fast-moving divided freeway traffic into two lanes at Campbell Drive should

dramatically decrease crashes there (drivers should quickly adapt to the new exits and accesses). That area of the highway has become notorious for collisions, including at least two fatals, since the four lanes arrived. An appeal for traffic lights there was rejected because the four lanes were soon to be extended past the intersection. Thank goodness, that has finally happened. However, the problem has moved up the highway (a little further away from hospitals, unfortunately). With nobody exiting at Scheel Drive (it goes under the highway), the two lanes of westbound traffic have to squeeze into one. So drivers, beware of crack-ups. We can only hope the intensive lobbying by the county’s Highway 17 committee pays off and the MTO gets cracking on the next phase of the four-laning. If we can get the four-lanes to Calabogie Road/McLean Drive, at least some of the traffic will be syphoned off. Of course, it will help even more to get it to Renfrew, where all the summer tourists heading to cottage country and Algonquin Park leave Highway 17 for highways 60 and 132. The opening of the four lanes between Campbell and Scheel drives gives motorists a sneak peak of what the route up the Valley will eventually be like. Let’s get on with it.

Commons dust-up no big deal, move on to more important things

To the Editor: When cameras were introduced into the House of Commons in 1977, it was argued that their presence would increase civility, productivity and accountability. What a ridiculous notion. Since then antics to stall debate, ridiculous theatrics and childish name-calling, tongue-stickingouting, noisemaking buffoonery has echoed through our hallowed chambers of Parliament; after all that is the sort of stuff that

the media peddles and the only thing about law-making that we lap up. Posturing, literal feet-dragging and a filibuster were just some of the tiresome antics this past week; augmented by the howls from the Opposition when the Prime Minister crossed the aisle and taking the Tory whip by the arm forced him toward his seat so that others would return to their seat and the vote could start. Voting the thing MPs are supposed to do!

While doing so Trudeau accidentally elbowed an NDP MP. When he tried to apologize to that MP, Mr. Mulcair showed his temper and a fight nearly erupted with the Prime Minister denounced over his apologies with wails that nothing so horrid had ever happened in a legislature in Canada. Enough already. Ms. Brosseau was elbowed in the chest and Mr. Trudeau apologized to her personally and several times after that. As for the manhandling the Tory MP - well the MP was not moving toward his seat, and our MPs (from all parties) should be spending much more time in their seats to begin with. Unless everyone is to live in a plastic bubble, as some would seemingly prefer, sometimes we are going to bump into people! Every single Canadian has either been bumped or has bumped someone in his or her life.

Most, likely did not apologize. So please, enough with making the issue bigger than it is, enough with the soap opera style acting … Further an MP once horsewhipped his colleague in the Commons foyer and Mulcair fought with a traffic cop (and more recently everyone). I am a gay man; I get called Miss every time I pick up the phone. I point out their error and accept the subsequent apology because there are bigger issues out there - and trying to make things like this seem bigger than they are belittles those bigger issues. People on both sides acted childishly and an accident happened. Get over it.

24 hours of high drama and suspense for birders Years ago there was a popular television series titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;24.â&#x20AC;? The basic plot involved a federal agent (Kiefer Sutherland) trying to stop the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assassina-

tion in only 24 hours. Each episode was jam-packed with suspense and drama. On May 17 I took part in a highly suspenseful 24-hour event. This one, fortunately, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in-

volve terrorists. It was the annual PEPTBO Challenge, an event of the PEPTBO (Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory) Spring Birding Festival. Teams compete for the PEPTBO Cup, the prize awarded for locating the largest number of bird species during a 24-hour period. My capable teammates were Kathy Felkar and Mike Burge, both stalwart supports of the Observatory, which is the recipient of all funds raised by the

Michael Runtz Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way competition. The rules are simple. During the 24-hour pe-

riod, teams must remain in Prince Edward County. All participants must be doing a Baillie Birdathon, a fundraiser in which individuals get sponsorships for the birds they find. The Observatory is the beneficiary of all money raised. Prince Edward County is fabulous for bird migration, but factors such as weather greatly affect the number of birds present in the county on any given day. For example, south winds followed by an

overnight rain produce a â&#x20AC;&#x153;falloutâ&#x20AC;? of birds, an event eagerly anticipated by birders. Unfortunately, cold north winds dominated our effort, so there was no fallout. Our team effort began at 12:30 p.m. on May 17 at the Beaver Meadow Conservation Area. This site features a wonderful marsh surrounded towering hardwoods. Here, we tallied species at a fantastic rate. See RUNTZ, page 11

Runtz: event full of suspense Continued from page 9

Black Terns patrolled the marsh from which arose the bizarre vocalizations of Pied-billed Grebes, Common Gallinules and a Virginia Rail, species usually most vocal at night. A cacophony of crows led us to a young Great Horned Owl, a nice addition to our list. At the National Wildlife Area near the Bird Observatory, we soon found ourselves surrounded by warblers, some of which were later migrants such as Tennessee and Cape May. After adding more than a dozen species to our list, we headed for the tip where things were slow but suffi-

cient to upgrade our list to about 90 species. In the evening we visited open meadows where we tallied Grasshopper and Clay-coloured sparrows. After sundown we turned our search to owls. This proved to be a challenge, and it took an hour of calling at two locations before an Eastern Screech-Owl finally answered at 4 a.m., species number 118. Dawn found us at Sandbanks Provincial Park, and for the early part of the May 18 morning we worked the west side of the county, adding exciting species such as Bald Eagle and Great Egret. By late morning we were back near the Observatory

where we finished our Birdathon at 12:30 p.m. with a respectable 141 species our official total. There were painful misses, such as Brown Creeper, but that’s standard fare for any birding venture. How we placed in the competition won’t be known until all team tallies are in. Which adds suspense to an already suspenseful event! Anyone still wishing to sponsor me (tax receipts are given) can do so at this secure weblink: http://birdscanada.kintera.org/birdathon/mikeruntz.

Bring the family for free BioBlitz on White Lake The White Lake Preservation Project in partnership with Watersheds Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Federation is inviting all interested to participate in a twoday BioBlitz May 27-28. The event will be held on the north shore of White Lake adjacent to Wabalac Road (southeast of Calabogie, off Highway 511) from 3 p.m. on Friday, May 27 to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 28. The BioBlitz concept has been

rapidly gaining popularity over the past decade. While these events have taken many forms, the main objective is always to produce a volunteer-based biological inventory. Typically, the events run for 1224 hours with a group of volunteer experts, naturalists and enthusiasts counting the total number of plant and animal species in a specified area. Often, community involvement is also a major focus of the

BioBlitz as it offers a fun and interactive way for communities to come together to learn about biodiversity, stewardship, and natural heritage values right in their own neighbourhoods. Expert-guided walks, small mammal trapping, seine netting, insect catching, and interactive displays are all examples of community learning activities that might be offered at a BioBlitz event. Throughout the two days, ex-

perts will work towards developing a biological inventory of the property including everything from birds and insects to plants and moths, as well as leading guided walks. There will be a special night session Friday from 7-9 p.m. called ‘Sounds and Creatures of the night’. A children’s program will run throughout Saturday, along with guided walks and a community

Tim’s to hold Camp Day June 1

McHappy day Several members of the Arnprior Optimists Club were among the local dignitaries helping the Arnprior McDonald’s restaurant raise money for Ronald McDonald Houses during McHappy Day May 4. Optimists John Unrau and Dan Bradford (right) serve, from left, Dayna Liebig and Owen, Anna and Rachel McMaster (Optimist John Rysak was busy at the drivethru window). More than $5 million was raised coast-tocoast thanks to McDonald’s customers.

Most people don’t need an excuse to go for a coffee, but there is a special incentive on Wednesday, June 1. Tim Hortons restaurants are holding their annual Camp Day fundraiser in support of sending local children to summer camps. On June 1, 100 per cent of proceeds from Tim Hortons coffee sales go to “helping turn kids’ lives around.” The money from Tim Hortons outlets, including those in Arnprior and Renfrew, goes to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. Dignitaries will work along with Tim Hortons staff in serving customers to raise money and draw attention to the cause. The campaign aims to “build

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

brighter futures for youth in our communities.” Tim Horton Children’s Foundation camp experiences are more than a fun trip away from home, as the programs are designed to support campers in becoming responsible, caring and motivated individuals. Meanwhile, Tim Hortons has joined the many across Canada in supporting those affected by the wildfires in the Fort McMurray area. To help with relief efforts, Tim Hortons made a $100,000 donation to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Fires Appeal and deployed coffee trucks with brewed coffee and water to assist evacuees and firefighters.

Fraudsters calls taxing on victims Residents in Arnprior and Renfrew continue to report to police that fraudsters are calling them, pretending to represent The Canada Revenue Agency.

www.cherylgallant.com By Cheryl Gallant, MP

May 2016

Report from Parliament Earlier this year in Parliament, I asked the Federal Government to launch an inquiry into Ontario electricity rates. I asked this question in the context of the acquisition by the recently privatized Ontario Hydro monopoly, now called Hydro One, of a competitor, and whether the public interest was being served by having the federal competition bureau review this purchase behind closed doors. As this purchase will, if it has not already, trigger a hydro rate increase that consumers and industry cannot afford, I requested a federal inquiry into the Ontario energy crisis, a request the government chose to ignore. This response from a government that promised to be open and transparent, an election promise that was promptly broken with its first budget. The decision to ignore Ontario residents who are suffering from the highest electricity rates in North America is another broken promise from an arrogant government that took power with less than 40% support. Trudeau fails to understand the importance of the price of electricity as a federal issue. The loss of 350,000 good, well-paying middle-class jobs in the manufacturing sector in Ontario because of the high electricity rate policy of the Liberal government of Toronto is a federal issue. The rise of energy poverty in the province of Ontario, when seniors, students, and people on fixed incomes must spend a greater and greater percentage of their savings and income on electricity costs, with people in Ontario being faced with the decision of heat or eat, is a federal issue. When a legal NAFTA trade challenge is issued against the practices of the Ontario regulated electricity monopoly for hundreds of millions of dollars for corruption in wind turbine contracting policy, and it is the federal taxpayer who is expected to pay the penalty, it is a federal issue. When yet another criminal investigation is launched by the Ontario Provincial Police into the energy policy of the Toronto Liberal Party, it is a federal issue. When the chief executive officer of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, one of the largest car and truck manufacturing companies in the world, states that Ontario’s hydro costs mean that Canada is losing opportunities for multibillion-dollar auto investments and the good, well-paying jobs that come with that private sector investment, it is a federal issue. There is no covering-up for the Province of Ontario on this issue. The high cost of doing business in Ontario is a federal issue. Of the many problems constituents bring to my attention, the one that brings the most complaints is the out-of-control cost of electricity. The definition of “energy poverty” is when a household is spending 10% or more of its disposable income on energy costs. For too many households, this has now become a reality, with the latest increase in hydro rates this month. Now, with the announcement by the provincial government to ban the use of natural gas as a residential heating fuel, winters are going to get a whole lot colder in the Ottawa Valley. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, CNL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

I am the first Canadian to win the bareback riding world title,” said Harvey, a 23-year-old rodeo star from Terre Bonne, Quebec. “Winning it encourages me to rodeo more.” Harvey was rivaled in the first part of 2015 by reigning world champion Shawn Minor of Camden, Ohio. “Shawn and I had went back and forth in the lead and then I won about $7,200 at St. Tite and that gave me a solid lead for the world championship,” said Harvey. “This fall I traveled to the Southeast Region Tour Finale in Georgia and Gilbert Rodeo Days in Arizona. I wanted to stay in shape for the IFR,” he said. “My goal for the year was GLEN HOWARD/SUBMITED to win the world title so it feels The 2015 world champion bareback rider Philippe Har- good that I did it,” remarked vey in action.

Double gold as ADHS boys, girls soccer teams win county titles Staff

The Arnprior District High School Senior girls’ and boys’ soccer teams didn’t disappoint when they travelled to Riverside Park in Pembroke May 19 for Upper Ottawa Valley playoffs. Both teams entered the playoffs undefeat-

ed and seeded number one. In girls’ action, ADHS defeated Fellowes 2-0 in quarter-final action. Sarah Couture scored both goals. In semifinal play against Madawaska Valley, Arnprior filled the net with four goals. Jesse Bryson scored twice and Sarah Couture and Amanda Birmingham added another each.

In the championship game, the girls faced Renfrew’s St. Joseph’s, which had tied ADHS earlier in the year in regular season play. That would not be the case on this day, as the Arnprior girls completely dominated play in St. Joe’s end and had multiple scoring chances. In the end, ADHS won 2-0 with both goals by Jesse Bryson. Arnprior advances to the Eastern Ontario championships in Carleton Place at Notre Dame High School, scheduled for Wednesday, May 25. In boys’ action, the Redmen faced Opeongo High School in the quarter-final and easily won 5-0. Liam Mayhew, Michael Fraser and Carter Smith scored once each and Ryan Massoud added two more. In the semi-final against jeanne Lajoie, the boys faced a very defensive minded team and

did not capitalize on their scoring chances until late in the game. With seven minutes remaining, Ryan Massoud was fouled in the box and wound up the scoring hero with a made penalty kick for the 1-0 Arnprior victory. In the championship game, the Redmen faced Mackenzie Community School, which had tied them 0-0 the week before. However, with the bigger field, the Redmen boys’ technical skills and talent prevailed in an easy 4-0 win. John Young scored two goals and Ryan Massoud and Braden Zvonarich added another each. The boys were to travel to Carleton Place Tuesday, May 24 for the Eastern Ontario championship at Notre Dame High School.

Historic church in Braeside closing doors for last time Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

An historic church in the village of Braeside is closing its doors forever. The small number of remaining members sit in groups; participate in prosaic rituals with surprising gusto. The singing is emphatic and joyful, as if more members and a second choir are hidden. What it lacks in quantity, Braeside United Church makes up for in quality. United churches are known to be a little more upbeat and positive than other Christian denominations. Natural light streams through large windows at Braeside United, built in 1903 at a cost of $2,653.05, according to a story in “The Arnprior Chronicle” celebrating the church’s 50th anniversary. “About the year 1885 the late Mrs. John Gillies of Carleton Place, came to Braeside to visit her son John, who was looking after the lumber mill

and yard here,” reads the article. “During her visit she noticed the children running aimlessly about on the Sabbath day. She was deeply moved by this sight, and took steps to remedy it. Sunday school started, then services in “the old school” which eventually led to a fundraiser to build the church. However, there was difficulty on this drizzly April day in 2016 to stay upbeat and positive about the church being sold off. Terms like “de-consecrated” and “congregation dissolved” are painful to hear for many on hand. Lorna Blackburn had been coming to the church for 60 years, ever since she was a little girl. She loved to sing in the choir. “I like being part of a larger voice,” she said. “This place is a big part of my life. It’s heartbreaking, really. But we’ve hung on as long as we can.” Barbara Mair was another member at mass. She called herself “a

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

The United Church in village of Braeside is the latest to close in the region. What will society be like when all the churches close? rookie” among those in attendance. “I’ve only been coming here for 17 years,” she said, with a soft chuckle. She sat with Gordon Bethune, who by contrast is a veteran of Braeside United. He is the last chief elder. In 1906, again according to the newspaper article, his grandfather

John Bethune was the first elder elected. He wasn’t prepared to talk about the closing. Mair was expected to join the church in Glasgow. Others would part for Arnprior’s. The singing will follow with them, leaving silence in their wake. The one upside, many

members talked about, was that the building wouldn’t be torn down. After the service, Jerry Wilhelm talked with numerous members at the back of the church. He owns the Gillies House across the street. And now owns the church. He plans to covert it into a residence, while maintain-

ing the integrity and history of the space. Not overly sentimental, Wilhelm had some self-interest in making sure no one came along and “put siding around it.” It will only help his property value if the authenticity is kept. The former congregation will be invited back, he said, when the renovation is completed. Proceeds from the sale will go to the Glasgow and Castleford churches. As one of his last sermons in Braeside, Rev. Richard Hollingsworth talked about the difference between knowledge derived from science and knowledge derived from direct experience. It was Easter season, a time when every Christian considers their faith in a crucial moment in the life of Jesus: the resurrection. Hollingsworth talked about the impact of the experience of witnessing Jesus’ body in the cave, then not. And about how that experience forever changed them. He then moved on to an analogy to explain the profound impact experience can have. Science, Hollingsworth said, can tell it is raining outside. It can tell you how many millimetres fell. It can tell you why the rain dropped down from dark clouds. See CHURCH page 26

Church going is for those who hunger to be serious Continued from page 25

But what science can’t tell you is how it feels. “Only experience can tell you what it feels like to have the rain fall on your head,” he said. To feel rain on one’s head, like knowing that Jesus has risen, has the power of influencing one’s life on a much deeper level than any scientific calculation could hope to do. While he spoke to his small but faithful congregation, the rain taptap-tapped sweetly on the roof of Braeside United Church. *** “I wonder who Will be the last the very last to seek This place for what it was … Since someone will forever be surprising A hunger in himself to be more serious And gravitating with it to this ground

Which he once heard was proper to grow wise in If only that so many dead lie round.” Church going, by Philip Larkin Braeside United Church was due to shut down in late April, a few months after St. Matthias Anglican in the west end of Ottawa closed. Both were open for more than 100 years. It seems hardly a month goes by without hearing of another church closing its doors in the Ottawa area. Of course, the trend is much wider than the Valley. Right across North American and much of the western world, Christian places of worship are closing. Why? Why is it that we no longer seem to have a hunger to be “more serious” as a favourite English poet wrote last century?

before and after. (Literally, if a child in the front row doesn’t understand the sermon, they will text the minister with questions.) They also use big screens and dress casually on platforms. However, there is much to overcome. A history of abuse by clergy. Fundamentalist preachers bent on judging perceived liberal society. A general decline in respect for authority figures. All are driving people away. There is also no more Derek Dunn/Metroland

Light filters through stain glass into the consecrated United Church in Braeside this spring for one of the last times. Philip Larkin’s poem Church going explores visiting a village church. Some would say there are more fulfilling things to do on weekends. Others say churches are a place for older demographics. Still others say simply don’t feel spiritual; they don’t have a deep soul or feel the need to have anguish extinguished in a communal setting. It may be that life, at least in

Canada, is so good that we no longer suffer to the extent that we need to plead to a higher power for solace. Churches are attempting to instate solutions. They try to attract immigrants and younger people. Some use social media during mass, not just

shame or guilt for not attending. Nor is there reward, such as a climb in social ranking for diligence in participation. Churches are closing, of that no one can dispute. But what will our communities look like when the last church is converted to B&B? And why will it be such a disheartening loss? “For though I’ve no idea/ What this accoutred frowsty barn is worth/ It pleases me to stand in silence here.”

May is ‘Leave a Legacy’ month. How will you be remembered? When you ‘Leave a Legacy’, your charitable bequest is felt long after your passing. While realizing the tax benefits, leaving a legacy also has a huge impact on your community. “With a Legacy donation, in your name, to ‘Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home’, those who follow will continue to receive the services the community has come to know as vital service,” said executive director Dennis Harrington. “When the generation of today reaches the age of 60, and when you and I have passed on, the mission of ABMSH will live on.” Everyone has a favourite charity or two. The reasons why you favour one over the other may vary. Maybe your parents or grandparents always supported a certain cause. If you choice to Leave a Legacy to

ABMSH, your community senior service agency, you will be helping to preserve the Seniors Agency for future generations of seniors. That could be your children and grandchildren, nieces or nephews. How will you be remembered? ABMSH hopes that you may consider leaving a legacy in support of the ‘Seniors at Home’ agency. How can you leave a Legacy? In Memoriam, Gift of Life insurance, RRSP, RRIF, TFSA (Tax Free Savings Account), balance of bank accounts or pensions, bequests in your will or by giving annually to ABMSH. In the past months, seniors at home has received donations in memory of: the late Alfred Slater, $1,500 bequest, and ‘In Memoriams’ in memory of Barrie Hanson, Theresa Mosseau, Erwin Stewart and Marlene Hube.

Opening of parlour marks start of new season Finally, once again we were allowed into the parlour. It had been closed up as tight as a drum since the first snow fall months before. The braided rug rolled up on the floor tight to the door sealing the cold air in, and keeping the warm air of the kitchen out, had been thrown over the fence and beaten with the broom and rolled up in the Renfrew Mercury and tucked under a bed until needed again. The only time the parlour door had been open since being shut off for the winter, was when it was our turn to have the Saturday night house party. And as soon as the last body went home, slam went the door and down went the braided rug! That day, when I came home from school and walked into the kitchen, there was the parlour door wide open. The only window was on the north side and so the sun hadn’t penetrated the room and I could still feel the chill of the long winter months when it was closed up. But it was like a new adventure to me, being able to use the parlour

again. It was as if I had never seen the room before! Of course, nothing had changed. The horsehair settee, the largest piece of furniture, sat kitty corner, and the twig table beside, still held the big family Bible, which was full of pieces of paper telling of births, deaths, and marriages. And even though I loved to look at the Bible, it held a bit of terror for me, too. Because pressed between its pages were several dried up flowers, taken right off the casket of a departed relative. Nobody seemed to know whose casket they came from, and that alone was enough to cause goose bumps on my arms, as my fervent mind pictured some poor departed soul who was right there in the parlour with me. Just like before a Saturday night house party, it took a couple of

28 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, May 26, 2016

days for the odors of the closed-up parlour to smell, as Father called it “decent.” To me it smelled like old wet galoshes, and MARY COOK then there were the mothballs. Mother put an ample amount of them all over the room, and I could never understand if it was to cover the moldy smell, or to keep away the moths, which we always seemed to have in great abundance. Mother tucked them into the crevices of the settee, they sat on the twig table, and I even found some under the braided rug by the one sitting-chair in the room. Of course, there would be dust everywhere. And so it was my job to wipe the furniture and take the whisk to the cushions, and generally try to bring the parlour back to whatever grandeur it had. And the parlour was not considered a room for frivolity! Games

Mary Cook’s Memories

were never to be played in it, and any roughhousing was absolutely out of the question. On the walls were pictures of those who had passed on. Big oval pictures of stern faces looking like they carried the cares of the entire world on their shoulders. I often wondered, as I looked on them with awe, if they had ever smiled even once during their long lives. One frame held someone’s braided hair, worked into a semi circle, with a small tin-type picture underneath it. That picture gave me the willies, and I did everything in my power to keep my eyes averted from it when I was in the parlour. Mother didn’t like it any better than I did and once she told Father she was going to get rid of it. Father looked like he had been struck with a plank and said the hair in the frame had been there long before he was born and that’s where it would be staying. Mother asked him whose hair it was and he had no idea, but nonetheless, it was not to be taken down. And so it stayed and like the dried flowers pressed in the family Bible, put a chill in

the parlour for me that even the hot summer days couldn’t erase. And it was in the parlour that we five children sat when we settle down with a book from the Renfrew Library. Never were we allowed to read at the kitchen table, just in case a crumb or a spot of butter got on a page, and we would have to pay for the book when we took it back. I was always glad when the parlour was opened after the long winter and it was a place to read, settled down on the horsehair settee, which was as hard as a board. It was a small room, and when I sat there alone with my library book, even though the pictures on the walls gave me pause, it was a place where I could escape into a fantasy world, lost in the pages of my book from the Renfrew Library.

TANNER

Douglas Hiram was called home to rest with our Heavenly Father on the afternoon of May the 14th, 2016. Doug was surrounded by the love of family and friends during his final hours. Born on the 13th of February in the year 1945, he was predeceased by his loving wife Hazel, his sister Bev, and his parents, Hilda and Victor. Doug leaves behind his sisters Ada (Doug Adams), Kathy (Charlie Routliffe), Bonnie (Doug Draker), his brother Jim (Brenda), and his brother-in-law David Wilson. Also left to mourn are his nine nieces and nephews and fifteen grand/great nieces and nephews. Doug was an avid outdoorsman with a deep passion for music, friendships and time spent with family. He was always happy to lend a hand no matter how hard the task, and was a caregiver and protector of his many nieces and nephews. His many friends and family will miss his hearty laughter and gift of story telling. Our deepest thanks to Andrea and Reverend Hunt for their warmth and support during Doug’s final hours, and Judy and the Seniors Home Support for their assistance during Doug’s last months at home. Memorial visitation will be held at Anderson Funeral Home, 22 Raglan Street South Renfrew, on Friday, May the 27th from 2pm until the time of service in the chapel, officiated by Dr. Rev. Hunt.

Reilly Garden opens for Red West Carleton’s Trillium tour Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Phil Reilly learned a long time ago that the wise gardener does less and less every year. “We like to think we are in control. We are not in control,” said Reilly, from the garden surrounding his Diamondview Road home. “Gardeners learn to acquire tolerance. Once I learned to leave (plants and flowers) alone, I began to enjoy them.” Reilly’s garden was among 10 studios or locations opened to the public on the May 7-8 weekend, part of the annual Red Trillium Studio and Garden Tour. Reilly was pointing at his be-

loved Virginia Bluebells, tiny flowers that come to bloom in early spring, when talking about tolerance. This was the type of flower that at one time he thought died after bloom. So he would dig them up, not knowing the roots intended to regenerate the following season. Less work produces more results. That isn’t an absolute truth, of course. When a car pulls up to participate in the tour, a casual conversation reveals how much work actually goes into such a magnificent garden. “So this is your heaven?” said a well-dressed man, shutting the car door. DEREK DUNN?METROLAND “Yes – and my aching back,” Top left: Phil Reilly stands in the garden he and wife Carole have moulded over 43 years. He fondly recalls Reilly replied with a chuckle. his daughter’s wedding onsite.

Understanding HARDINESS ZONES Hardiness zones are geographical areas in which a given category of plant can successfully be grown. The concept was first developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and countries around the world have since adapted the system to their own territories. But while hardiness zones can be quite useful, both for the casual gardener and the agricultural world, the model is far from perfect.

in common — can end up in the same zone. With so many variable factors, hardiness zones aren’t always true to reality.

Hardiness zones are largely decided on a given plant’s ability to survive in each zone’s lowest winter temperature, without factoring in summertime data or snow cover. As a result, two areas that have similar winter temperatures but vastly different amounts of snow — or summers that have nothing

The bottom line is that hardiness zones are useful tools when it comes to choosing plants adapted to a certain area, but they should be taken with a grain of salt. Find out what your area’s hardiness zone is, and do your own research to see how accurate — or not — the assessment actually is.

Furthermore, climate change is an unpredictable force that modifies weather conditions around the world, which means that hardiness zones are always evolving. In 2012, the USDA updated its map of hardiness zones in the U.S. to reflect the warmer weather of the previous three decades, but even this newer data will likely be obsolete before long.

Turn heads with an UPSIDE-DOWN GARDEN Growing plants upside-down in hanging containers is nothing new, but the idea gains in popularity every summer thanks to its many benefits, both for the gardener and the plants themselves. Many enthusiasts swear by this technique, which produces a hearty harvest with minimal effort and space required.

Planning on building a new home, let us help... Let us do your ground work from start to finish!

Tomatoes are a great choice for an upside-down garden.

The two most common species grown upside-down are tomatoes and cucumbers, but other vegetables like eggplants, beans and peppers are also suited to this type of gardening. A variety of herbs and flowers also produce great results in a hanging garden. THE UPSIDE OF UPSIDE-DOWN GARDENING Hanging gardens are much easier to maintain than traditional ones. Since the plants are at eye level, there’s no need to bend over for watering or picking fruit. And you can say “goodbye” to tilling and weeding, as neither are required. Plus, plants grown using this space-saving technique tend to be more vigorous and have better, stronger roots. Furthermore, their fruits don’t touch the soil, which reduces the risk of rotting and pest attacks. TRY IT FOR YOURSELF Are you ready to grow your own upside-down veggies, flowers or herbs? All you need is a large container, a mix of soil and fertilizer and something to hang it all up with. Drill a hole around five cm in diameter in the bottom of the container. Stick the plant’s stem through the hole, from the inside of the pot, and cover the roots with soil. Hang it up somewhere that receives enough sunlight, and voila! You’re all set for gardening success.

Add FLOWERS to your plate Edible flowers are a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds. So why not reserve a part of your backyard for growing edible flowers this summer? Just bear in mind that you’ll have to take a few precautions. Borage, nasturtiums, violets, bee balm, phlox, gladioli and even tulips are just some of the flowers that you can eat. There are many others, but be careful: not all flowers are edible. In fact, some are even toxic.

So, before you taste a flower, make sure you know exactly what you’re about to eat. The flowers you use to embellish your recipes should not have been treated with pesticides. Pick fresh flowers early in the morning when the dew has evaporated or after sunset. Shake them to remove any insects; remove the stamens and rinse with cool water. Place the flowers on a paper towel, and when they’re dry, put them

in a plastic container in the fridge. Most flowers will keep for several days. As well as being a beautiful addition to salads and pastries, edible flowers can be used to make an herbal tea, lemonade, butter, sauce, syrup or jelly. You’ll really impress your guests if you sauté

a couple of fresh flowers quickly and serve them with a main dish or starter. You could even cool your drinks with flowers embedded in ice cubes. This summer, there are plenty of new ways to appreciate flowers — you can start by putting some on your plate. Enjoy!

Designing a ZEN GARDEN A Zen garden is all about simplicity: stone, wood, gravel and sand alongside dark green vegetation, all of it meandering and gentle. Are you dreaming of an intimate backyard in which to meditate and be at one with nature? A Zen garden is for you. But even if such a garden exudes simplicity and natural lines, nothing should be left to chance. Creating a Zen garden requires looking at the space as though it were a living picture. Existing elements must also be taken into account when transforming your yard. For example, you can add stones to the lawn to create paths that wander from the shade of a tree to a meditation bench, or to a pebbled dry garden that’s dedicated to the contemplation of a statue. Water is essential in a Zen garden;

it represents rebirth, peace and enchantment. So, whatever the size of your garden, think about installing an arrangement where water can trickle or circulate. A lily pond, waterfall or even a fountain will do. The vegetation should be dominated by shrubs and foliage plants. Flowers are present but always discrete; you’ll need light touches of yellow, orange or white scattered here and there — nothing complicated, nothing flashy. One exception is the use of fall chrysanthemums. With their abundant flowers, skillfully placed fall chrysanthemums add incomparable splendour to a Zen garden. Lastly, don’t forget to hang a few lanterns to diffuse some soft amber light after sunset.

I hate to bug you, but it’s flea season Ctenocephalides felis or cat flea! Although there are over 2,000 species of fleas, the most common is the cat flea and is found on both cats and dogs. Fleas are responsible for a variety of problems from simple itching and infection to allergic skin reactions and tapeworm. The females always lay their eggs on your dog or cat. Once on your pet, the adult fleas feed vigorously but digest only a small percentage of ingested blood. The remaining ingested blood is excreted back onto your pet in the form of black fecal matter commonly known as flea dirt (looks like black pepper). Feeding stimulates egg laying while on your pet and in just 30 days 10 fleas can multiply into 250,000 fleas. The small white eggs do not adhere to skin or hair but fall freely off your pet to contaminate bedding, flooring, carpeting, dog beds, even your vehicle if the pet has been transported in it during the infestation. The adult flea represents only a small percentage of the infestation present in your home. The vast majority of the flea population is actually either in the egg, larval or pupal stage, which cannot be seen. Effective elimination of fleas requires control at all levels of the life cycle. If you have a flea infestation you must treat both your pets and your home. Flea infestation is a vicious cycle. Before you can effectively control and eradicate the fleas, you must understand a little about their life cycle. In just 15 days the flea life cycle is completed. In 30 days 10 fleas can multiply into 250,000 fleas. If just one pet in a multiple pet home has fleas, then they could all have fleas. To get rid of the fleas for good, you have to kill both the adult flea and their offspring. The adult flea is the most annoying stage. The adult flea is the 40 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, May 26, 2016

IAN STUPP

most visible and feeds on the blood of your pet(s). The average female flea lays 25 eggs per day up to 2,000 eggs in her lifetime. Adult fleas, as I stated earlier, can cause health problems ranging from tapeworm, skin disorders, infections and allergies. Flea eggs – Fall from your pet(s) into your home and the environment. Fleas lay all of their eggs on your pet(s). These eggs are barely visible to the human eye. The eggs do not stay on your pet(s) but fall off onto you bedding, flooring, carpeting, etc. Under optimal conditions (hot, humid weather), flea eggs can develop into the larval stage within 10 days. Flea Larvae – The worm-like larvae settle deep within carpet fibres, in and under furniture. Any effective treatment must control flea larvae since they are the largest percentage of any infestation. The larvae have long spines on each segment, which allows them to cling to carpet fibre and furniture making it difficult to simply vacuum them up. Flea Pupae – Shielded by a cocoon, no treatment can control the flea pupae. The flea pupae are concealed in the cocoon made of carpet fibres and other debris found in your home. Hungry adult fleas emerge from the pupae in as little as eight days. Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, expect to be very busy in the days ahead. Make a concerted effort to be more aware of what’s around you so that you don’t miss a thing. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, financial questions keep popping up and you just keep pushing them aside for later. If need be, work with a professional to establish your goals. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Do something out of your comfort zone this week, Gemini. When you do so, you may find out you have a wider array of interests than you first believed. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, just when you think you’ve figured out how to play the game, they go and change all of the rules on you. Adaptability is one of your biggest strengths. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 It’s time to make your love life a priority, Leo. If you’re in a relationship, you may find it needs a little nurturing to get it back to the level it was a few months ago.

This will ensure everyone stays productive. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be called upon to lend your special skills to a situation this week. While it may not be a job you relish, you know ultimately it has to get done. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, speak your mind because if you don’t do it others are not going to advocate for your needs. That’s why it’s so important for you to fight for every cause, no matter how small. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, work may be getting on your nerves, but you have to maintain a professional demeanor at all times. It can be challenging, but you will handle it.

The study is addressing the advance planning needs for renewal of underground servicing (water, sewer, drainage, utilities) in the downtown core.

The study area is as shown in the key map. An Open House will be held in June to review and discuss a draft Recommended Plan with residents and to solicit feedback. This drop-in style event will help continue the discussion as we work towards a plan for downtown Almonte.

Interested persons can provide comments throughout the study process.
