has confirmed what many Arnprior residents already suspected: Ontario’s tallest tree resides in Gillies Grove. The majestic eastern white pine was offi.COM cially declared the province’s highest tree in a .COM ceremony in Gillies Grove last Friday. The NCC had announced the day before at Ontario’s Biodiversity Summit in Niagara Falls that the “magnificent” 47-metre (154-feet) pine is the province’s tallest tree. The NCC says the finding has been confirmed by Forests Ontario’s Honour Roll recognition program. To give some perspective, the tree, being dubbed Ontario’s natural skyscraper, is taller than a 13-story building, said NCC assistant conservation biologist, who emceed the ceremony in the Grove. Giroux said NCC officials and forests specialists recently discovered the “hidden gem” within the protected forest in the NCC-run Gillies Grove. Visitors have been walking by the giant tree for generations without suspecting it had such esteemed stature, she noted. It’s trees like this one that are home to a variety of wildlife from squirrels to owls, woodpeckers and beautiful songbirds, she added. The ceremony was attended by NCC officials, the family of long-time Friends of Gil-

The 70 young students, accompanied by teachers Amber Barclay and Lori MacKenzie, were intrigued by the size of the tree and wondered how big the ladder must have been for its height.CA.CA to be measured. The declaration was met with delight by Arnprior officials.“What a great discovery to have Ontario’s tallest white pine in Gillies Grove,” said Tara Pocket, vice-president of the Friends of Gillies Grove. “The community worked so hard to protect the Grove years ago – this is a wonderful reward for having stopped this beautiful woods from being developed.” “We are very proud to be able to welcome all our guests to the home of Ontario’s tallest pine tree,” added Arnprior Mayor David Reid. “Please take the time to come see what the Gillies Grove and the Town of Arnprior have to offer. “Arnprior is a town which offers many wonderful natural attributes to explore and enjoy,” said the mayor. “The Gillies Grove is one of our beautiful assets; where residents and visitors alike can enjoy the allure of spending time exploring an incredible old growth forest in the JOHN CARTER/Metroland town ‘Where the Rivers Meet’.” St. Joseph’s Kindergarten students look up, way up

Arnprior Council has opted to tackle the downtown revitalization project in two years rather than five. The two-year implementation strategy was approved at council’s meeting Monday. The planned cost to update infrastructure in the downtown core and make the area more visitor-friendly is $10.4 million. The project would have cost a million more if it had been spread out over five years. The work will include improvements to John Street North from Madawaska Street to William Street West; Elgin Street West from Daniel Street North to Madawaska Street; McGonigal Street West from Daniel Street North to end (west of Edward Street North); and Hugh Street North from McGonigal Street West to Elgin Street West. As well as repaving, water and sewer lines will be updated, as will be sidewalks. Trees and benches will be added to improve the streetscape downtown. See BULK Page 6

tered professional forester working for the Canadian Forest Service, made the measurements that confirmed that Ontario’s tallest eastern white pine is located in the middle of Gillies Grove. D’Eon was invited by NCC to follow up on hunches and cursory measurements made a decade earlier. He brought state-of-the-art measuring devices, and another forester as a witness, and measured the magnificent tree to be a whopping 47 metres or 154 feet. As a result, the NCC concludes this is the tallest white pine, and the tallest tree, in the province. Gillies Grove is a 22-hectare (56acre) old growth forest that is a “beloved” natural feature of the Town of Arnprior and adjacent Township of McNab-Braeside. The Grove is a rare remnant of the forest that once covered the region. It includes sugar maple, yellow birch, American beech, eastern hemlock and Basswood trees. In one section, a stand of ancient white pines thrusts high above the surrounding trees. The Grove was once owned by Daniel McLachlin and later by David Gillies, both important figures in the history of logging in the Ottawa Valley. They spared this stately forest of hardwood and pine and it became the wooded promenade for their families and local townspeople for generations.

White pine Ontario’s tree

Forests Ontario’s Honour Roll program is dedicated to keeping record of the largest living trees of each species in the province. The ranking is based on the tree’s height and diameter. It has spurred fascination in trees throughout the province. The interest led to the naming of eastern white pine as Ontario’s arboreal emblem in 1984’s Bicentennial in recognition early white pine logging was an important chapter in the province’s history.

R0013283043

The highest tree announcement was made by the NCC in conjunction with Forests Ontario as the groups participated in the four-day Ontario Biodiversity summit. A ceremony at the tree has been planned for 11 a.m. Friday, May 22 to mark the International Day of Biodiversity. “We are honoured and privileged to discover Ontario’s tallest living eastern white pine standing stoically in the Gillies Grove Nature Reserve, another reminder of the truly remarkable significance and uniqueness of this property,” said Gary Bell, NCC program director for Eastern Ontario. “Trees are magnificent biological monuments; they represent the largest and oldest living objects in our environment,” said Rob Keen, CEO of Forests Ontario. “We are pleased to recognize the Gillies Grove white pine as the tallest of its species through our Honour Roll program. We congratulate the Nature Conservancy of Canada for their role in maintaining this living link to our past.” The Grove pine now joins the many white pine all-stars of Ontario’s forests. These include ancient white pine of Temagami, old-growth pine reserves in Algonquin Park, impressive protected pines in Greenwood Lake Conservation Reserve west of Thunder Bay, and the many great stands and outstanding individual pines that adorn the province’s landscape.

Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) staff are calling Ontario’s tallest tree the ‘Gerry White Pine’ as a tribute to White and other volunteers who made the protection of Gillies Grove possible. White’s children, William and Lydia (Thomas was away at school), were asked to cut the ribbon last Friday officially proclaiming the eastern white pine in Gillies Grove the tallest in the province. White, a long-time member of the Friends of Gillies Grove, died on April 2 at the age of 74. The NCC said the honouring of White recognizes “in a spectacular way the volunteerism” that led to the protection of the Grove. Lydia said the family appreciated the honour as the Grove was such an important place for her father and his children. “It’s a nice tribute,” she said. The Friends of Gillies Grove have placed a bench along the main trail near the tallest tree. It includes a plaque that says: In memory of Gerry White 1940-2015. Friend of Gillies Grove. It’s the first bench on the trail.

Arthur Street trees felled to surprise of neighbour derek.dunn@metroland.com

The axing of dozens of trees on an empty lot on Arthur Street has revealed passionate divisions among neighbours. Developer Scott McEwan recently bought the property that fronts onto Isabella Street. He plans to build, but hasn’t decided on a multi-unit townhome structure or another style. What he did know when first taking over the site was that it would have to front on Arthur Street or face thousands of dollars in work to hook up water and sewage. The road would have to be ripped up, causing disruption to the neighbourhood. And with that decision in place, he set about the removal of spruce trees that are near the end of their lifespan. “He pushed down a line of these majestic 75-foot tall Norwegian pines,” said Seveine Sullivan, a neighbour. “I heard this wild cracking sound; no warning at all; and they came crashing down.” She said McEwan mentioned the idea when he first bought the property, but not the specific day. She was the only one among neighbours not

Sullivan, who videoed the episode, said it’s a “mixed bag” of opinions over what was done. “I can tell you I have seen numerous folks from the neighbourhood walk by and you can see the disbelief in their faces,” she said. “You see them shaking their heads, some say-

ing how sad it is.” However, McEwan said the majority are happy to see the trees gone, some even applauded when it was being done. “We had people on the street clapping when they came down,” McEwan said. “This is a typical story.

He explained that thinning them out was not an option either. Spruce trees tend to entwine their roots and grow interdependent. While he admits bird may have been nesting in the trees, the $25,000 job (by the time the site is cleared) was a necessary service. A property that nets about $800 in taxes for the town could one day fetch $12,000 or more. McEwan, who has built entire neighbourhoods in Arnprior, knows the trees must be replaced. Everyone, he said, including developers want trees in residential areas. Still - there is a price for progress. “There’s all the birds that were nesting in them,” Sullivan said. “Some eggs had hatched. You could hear the baby birds when the parents flew into the nests.  “You don’t hear them anymore.” Asked if town council should create a bylaw detailing which trees can be removed and which can’t, McEwan said he would be willing to follow the rules. In this case, he added, the trees on Arthur Street wouldn’t make a list of those protected. “These weren’t oak or anything like that. Spruce is almost a weed,” he said. “You had one person upset and the rest of the street was glad to get rid of them.” McEwan said various officials from town hall had called him AD after hearing from Sullivan. They asked that he rePROOF move the remains in a reasonable time FORM frame, just to quell any perception of a fire hazard.

water testing as well as other factors. Housekeeping and even certification levels and training of workers such as Trumble can affect the final grade. The grade is as much about the drinking water as it is the plant, noted Trumble. If a plant is to get a mark in the lower 90s, there is something wrong and there would be bigger issues and consequences to deal with. In the 16 years Trumble has worked in Arnprior, the grades have been in the high 90s to 100. The water report can be found at town hall and also online.

During the regular meeting of Arnprior council on May 10, there was a discussion on how tough the town should get with delinquent water accounts. The total owed is about $36,000 on 18 accounts. Council had given the approval for water to be turned down to a trickle for those users far behind in their payments, in hopes that it will grab their attention and encourage them to at least pay a some of the fees that are owed from their account. Eventually, if no payment

is received, the water will be shut off completely. Council was told that only $22, 000 is owed to the Nick Smith Centre in arrears of more than 90 days, a significant drop in the total before the town went on a campaign to collect money owed it.

An Arnprior family coping with the financial effects of a surgery that was needlessly delayed joined hands for a special Gofundme.com initiative.

Communication breakdown delays trans father’s surgery Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

A young Arnprior family is suffering financially after bureaucratic miscommunication delayed a much needed surgery. Kip, whose real name is being withheld, has lived as a man for 12 years. Some people around him are aware that he was born a girl, some are not. He would prefer to put the years of knowing he was a male trapped in a female body well behind him. That’s why his employer doesn’t know. That’s why he maintains there is no need for the vast majority of people to know. But that unique status is also why he found himself off work for weeks on end last winter; needlessly. Kip had an ovary removed in February. “He’s humiliated by a lot of the experience,” said his mother, Jamie Johnson, whose real name is also being withheld. “After 12 years of being recognized as a man, the last thing you want to hear is something’s wrong with your ovary. He cringes every time he sees a doctor about it.” Kip has a wife, an infant daughter, and a highly physical job that at times puts a strain on his body. His work is rewarding, even if the pay doesn’t put him in the 1 per cent. But his work began to suffer last July when persistent abdominal pain grew excruciating. It was affecting his urinary tract. He took a medical leave. Kip finally went to a doctor, who was deemed a common ailment; not related in the least to his transition. It was a cyst on an ovary and it had to be removed. Unfortunately for Kip, the story takes a bad turn at this point. Obviously OHIP will pay for a woman’s oophorectomy. But what if a man needs one? Is he forced under the knife in another jurisdiction? Or pay

out of pocket here at home? No. Turns out the Ontario government changed the wording under the Health Insurance Act years ago to avoid these very situations. Transgendered men who need an ovary removed are covered. Problem is: three people who should know the insurance act didn’t. They guessed. DOCTORS UNAWARE

“Before Kip’s surgery, both his disagnosing doctor (an OBGYN) and his surgeon, and the Service Ontario worker they spoke to all thought this type of surgery would not be covered for a man without pre-approval,” Johnson said. “Historically the OBGYN had to fill an exemption form ahead of performing the procedure but not anymore. I can now be submitted following surgery along with the information to bill OHIP for the procedure.” Meanwhile, the pain and sickness, the pile of bills, the emptying bank account – Kip’s family is in dire straits. An operation that could have happened in November was unnecessarily pushed back three months. He was off work for eight months. “His EI ran out in mid-November and he could not return to work until mid-March. His wife is on maternity leave, which means four months with no income.” Hence the Gofundme campaign. Friends and supporters have contributed $1,600 toward a $5,000 goal for the family. Kip, who grew up in Arnprior, attended high school in town, is said to be grateful for contributions. Anyone interested in helping can log onto gofundme.com Go to “Arnprior” and search “Help young trans father”. The Arnprior Book Shop also collects contributions.

eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re number one! Number one when it comes to having the tallest tree in Ontario, that is. Arnprior has plenty to brag about with two impressive rivers, a wonderfully situated park where they meet, plenty of green space, intriguing heritage buildings, successful sports teams and innovative entrepreneurs. And Gillies Grove. And now thanks to the visionary folks who banded together two decades ago to save the Grove from the chainsaw, we now have bragging rights to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tallest tree. We need to ensure that title is defended from the quibbling by a few contrarians in the Thunder Bay area who are trying to claim they have a higher pine. Fortunately, we have the Nature Conservancy of Canada and Forests Ontario on our side. If the tallest tree is marketed properly, its fame could make it a major attraction for Arnprior. Bring on the tourists. And the businesses and new residents. Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to relocate to a community that has the foresight to protect such a wonder of nature. However, if the tall tree is to boost the profile of Arnprior, the NCC and its municipal and community partners need to ensure this jewel in the heart of Arnprior is properly protected, especially if people start flocking to the Grove to see it. There are already concerns that thoughtless visitors to the Grove are threatening its flora and wildlife. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no time to cut back on the monitoring and protecting of the Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precious environment. The townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slogan, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where the Rivers Meetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; indicates the importance of the Ottawa and Madawaska rivers to the community. Just like an addendum, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Arnprior: Home of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tallest Treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, would signal the special place Gillies Grove has in the hearts of the local citizenry.

LETTER

Money better spent attracting box stores To the Editor: Reference the downtown revitalization article (Chronicle-Guide, May 14). Ok, we will all admit downtown Arnprior is a tad shabby and does need to be revitalized, certainly if that includes getting rid of some of the less glamorous buildings along John Street. But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, some of this $10.4 or $11.4 million would be of better value for the residents of Arnprior if it was used to attract a couple of big box stores like Wal-Mart or Home Depot.

Beside creating a few hundred retail jobs for the district, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to take that weekly drive to Kanata, Renfrew or to the shopping Mecca of Carleton Place to forage for goods and spend our cash supporting those communities. Just saying, couple hundred jobs, decent shopping outweigh another hair salon in the revitalized downtown . George Powell Arnprior

LETTERS

Grove no place for at-large dogs To the Editor: This letter is in response to the article ‘Dog park, botanical garden proposed for Clay Bank’ (ChronicleGuide, May 14). To quote, “A petition was started a few years ago in Arnprior garnering some 300 names on it, to open a dog park.” Are readers aware there was strong support for a dog park in Arnprior’s recreation consulting survey report (which has not been presented to council). In large measure, this support is due to the marked increase in the number of dogs in Gillies Grove, many at large and their owners not cleaning up. On a recent visit, we counted over 50 deposits on the main trail alone. For those of us who saved the Grove (and I take liberty to speak for Jayne Gillies, Arnold Muirhead), we certainly never envisioned the Grove to be taken over by ‘at large dogs’! A number of birds, including Ovenbirds and Black and White Warblers nest on the ground, so visitors

We would invite all to respect the wishes of those who spent years to raise one half million dollars to purchase Gillies Grove to be presented as a Natural Heritage Resource in the ‘heart’ of Arnprior. We would like to remind dog owners that dogs are not permitted on the Macnamara trail system. Russ, Abigail Corbett Arnprior

Ontario taking swift action on winter highway maintenance: minister To the editor: The following letter to the editor is in response to your article, ‘Winter maintenance findings no surprise to MPP Yakabuski’ (Chronicle-Guide, May 7). Being able to travel safely on Ontario’s highways is very important to all Ontarians. Over the past few years and following an internal review, the Ministry of Transportation and its maintenance contractors have been working together to improve the quality of winter maintenance in the province. We’ve added over 100 pieces of equipment, strengthened oversight, enhanced the way we plow truck climbing and passing lanes and freeway ramps and shoulders, and tendered an improved contract. Despite the improvements we have made – the additional equipment, additional oversight and organizational changes – the current system of winter highway maintenance needs to be better. We are also taking swift action on the Auditor’s recommendations, with

several to be in place by the start of next winter. As a ministry, we have a lot of work to do. But, so do our contractors. I will be meeting with them in person to determine how we can work together to improve this program and their performance. Further, I will provide an action plan within 60 days that outlines plans to further strengthen and improve winter maintenance to ensure that we are doing everything possible to provide Ontarians with safe highway conditions. I have also asked the Auditor General to provide a follow-up review of the winter maintenance program at the end of the next winter season to review our progress. I look forward to reporting back on our action plan, our progress implementing the auditor’s recommendations and the additional steps we will be taking to enhance winter maintenance in Ontario. Steven Del Duca Ontario Minister of Transportation

Funds for Stampede, White Pine

BUY & SELL IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD!

Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The Town of Arnprior is contributing $5,000 each to two major events in town. Director of Recreation Services Glenn Arthur made a request for council to allocate $5,000 for August’s White Pine Festival and for the funds to come from the special events budget. He asked for an additional $5,000 to help the Arnprior Stampede June 13-14. The request was made at the May 25 regular council meeting. Arthur explained that the White Pine has been a steady increase in popularity since its

inception in 2010. The stampede is brand new event, but if it draws a big crowd it is expected to be around for more than the one year. There was much discussion by councillors, who suggested that future requests for event funding should be guided by a policy that directs how the money is given out. If $5,000 is given just for the event to bring in $20,000, is it worth it, council asked? On the other side of the discussion it was suggested that people organizing events that give an economic boost to the town should be rewarded, regardless of how much the event actually makes?

William Street Rowhouse project raises concerns EASY TO POST Just take a picture of what you are selling and you are pretty much done!

CHAT No need to write emails and wait for a reply. Chat live, exchange information, SELL.

A handful of Arnprior citizens came out to hear a residential proposal for property at William Street West and Norma Street. The developer has plans for a fiveunit rowhouse fronting on William Street. A bylaw change will be necessary for the project to proceed. A few residents expressed concern for the concept, citing traffic and privacy issues and the overall size of the structure. Council indicated it will review all aspects as councillors intend to be satisfied with all angles from having a building permit that specifies when the work will be done to ensuring there is proper drainage, before signing off on the overall plans. A final decision is expected at the June 8 council meeting. While there was agreement that any kind of development in town is worth considering, Reeve Walter Stack suggested a five-unit rowhouse is simply too many for the lot in question. To accommodate residents wanting to comment on the William Street proposal, council’s regular meeting offered up a change of scenery. Business was conducted at the Stanley Tourangeau Fire/Police Services Centre.

An official from the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) will provide a Gillies Grove update for Macnamara Field Naturalists members at the club’s June meeting. The NCC has been encouraging local municipalities and groups to take a more active role in maintaining the Grove. The meeting will be held Tuesday, June 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the Arnprior Curling Club. Gary Bell, an Eastern Ontario NCC conservation biologist will speak about Gillies Grove as well as the Gervais property near Westmeath. The latter has been bought with the help of a

donation from the Ottawa Field Naturalist Club that was supplemented by the local group. This will be the naturalists club’s final monthly meeting until September. However, several summer outing are planned including a birding walk June 3 at the Bill Mason Centre in Dunrobin and participation in the annual Ottawa butterfly count July 4. Next week’s bird walk will start from West Carleton Secondary School at 6 pm. and target such wetland species as the Wilson’s Snipe, American Bittern, Virginia Rail and Sora, and a variety of songbirds and woodpeckers.

A.J. Charbonneau school is helping to change the world Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

Staff and students of AJ Charbonneau School officially announced on May 19 that they had surpassed their goal for their Maji Maradi Free the Children project. In the two years of raising money, they had aimed for $5,000 - but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all - the school earned $5,801.20 on their own. When principal Amy Johnson searched for businesses to chip in, Free the Children and their corporate sponsors were so impressed with AJ that they included an additional $5,000. As a result, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand total was for $10,801.20 raised for Free the Children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a hugh amount for a school like AJ,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came from a school with double the population and they raised half the amount.â&#x20AC;? Tristan Jones, a speaker with Free the Children, accepted the cheque at

a school assembly. He had made the trek up from Montreal just for the special occasion. The Free the Children initiative supported by the donation is the building of a well near a school. Such projects allow people in places like Ghana to easily access clean water instead of walking miles to collect it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not charity. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainable development. We want to free the youth of the idea that they are powerless to change the world,â&#x20AC;? explained Jones. AJ Charbonneau students are in fact changing the world, he said. There have also been supplies, medicine and vaccinations sent from the school sent to countries through Free the Children. Johnson intends to initiate a different kind of project for the next school year in the fall. Although there is nothing concrete yet, she anticipates a start to planning a trip with students to a Free the Children destination. SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND

Teacher talks hit another snag, government takes action Staff

Hopes that the dispute between the Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public high school teachers and the government would be resolved through negotiation have been dashed. The break-down of talks last week after two days of discussions involving a veteran mediator and the threat that a full-blown strike could expand from the three school boards where students could lose their school year prompted the provincial government to table back-to-work legislation early this week. With high schools closed in three districts for between three and six weeks, the provincial government decided Monday it would force the teachers back to work. While the dispute has yet to directly affect high schools in Renfrew County, teachers in two more districts, including Ottawa, began work-to-rule campaigns last week.

The Ontario Secondary School Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (OSSTF) issued a news release Monday saying it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely disappointedâ&#x20AC;? with the provincial government action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing positive can ever come out of a legislated curtailment of a unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundamental right to bargain freely and to withdraw services when necessary,â&#x20AC;? said OSSTF president Paul Elliott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This government created the current bargaining process, and we have made every effort to make it work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointing that the Premier and the Education Minister are so eager to subvert that process with legislation rather than roll up their sleeves and take an active role in helping to make the process work.â&#x20AC;? Elliott said teachers will continue to work for negotiated local agreements with all of the other school boards around the province, and for a fair, negotiated agreement at the central bargaining table. The OSSTF had issued a news release last

Grove, Island View to host Seniors events A number of Seniors Month events in Arnprior are planned for June by Arnprior Regional Health in partnership with Island View Suites. All area seniors are invited to the free special occasions at Island View and The Grove. They are aimed at â&#x20AC;&#x153;making memoriesâ&#x20AC;? for seniors during their month. The events include: June 2 - Quilt show featuring artisans from the Arnprior Quilters Guild, Island View Suites and other local quilters displaying their â&#x20AC;&#x153;stunning creationsâ&#x20AC;? in the auditorium at The Grove, from 2 to 3 p.m. Refreshments will be served. June 3 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; CNIB book club information session 2 to 3 p.m. at Island View Suites on establishing a group in Arnprior for those with visual impairments. Refreshments will be served. June 18 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Seniors at Home Friendship Days at the Arnprior Legion 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Island View Suites will be donating the door prizes and a

take-away goodie from Chef Wendy. Buy your tickets from Patti Farr at Seniors At Home, Patti Farr. June 20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Time to downsize? There will be a rummage sale at Island View Suites from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Shop for the treasure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been looking for or join with your own table. June 23 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Katrinia Kahn will bring her Zumba class to the auditorium at The Grove from 2 to 3 p.m. to demonstrate this fun and exciting low impact exercise. She will then conduct an armchair Zumba class for all seniors present and willing. June 24 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The oldies are the goodies. Island View Suitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual Strawberry Social run 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. with entertainment provided by the Diamonds. Refreshments will be served on the riverside patio. June 26 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Grove and Island View Suites are hosting Dai Bassett for a lively musical picnic at Robert Simpson Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Friday saying it was disappointed to report its negotiations with the government and the Ontario Public School Boardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association have once again reached an impasse. The teachers union indicated it was going to apply for conciliation under the Ontario Labour Relations Act for central table bargaining, which could lead to a province-wide strike. A work-to-rule campaign by public school elementary teachers entered has entered its third week. Catholic board teachers have yet to take any action, but have indicated they are disgruntled with the lack of progress in talks and may make a move in June. TESTING ON HOLD

In light of the elementary teachers work-torule campaign, Grade 3 and 6 Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) testing has been put on hold and will likely be cancelled

for this year. In a letter to parents last week, the Renfrew County District School Board announced it has been advised by EQAO that it will not be sending assessment materials to schools experiencing job action. Therefore the standardized reading, writing and mathematics testing â&#x20AC;&#x153;will not be taking place in our schools at this time.â&#x20AC;? The testing had been scheduled to take place between May 25 and June 5 for all Grade 3s and 6s. The school board letter goes on to say that EQAO has indicated it will continue to monitor the situation and if circumstances change, there â&#x20AC;&#x153;may be an opportunityâ&#x20AC;? for students to complete the assessment later in the school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though the EQAO assessment may not be administered in RCDSB elementary schools at this time, we continue to support our studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; achievement and well-being in our classrooms each and every day,â&#x20AC;? concludes the school board letter.

Arnprior fire department shares safety tips for recreationalists To minimize the risk of fire and burn injuries, the Arnprior Fire Department is urging town residents to include fire safety in their weekend plans. “Fire safety is not just for homes, it’s for cottages, cabins and seasonal homes too,” said fire prevention/protection officer Cory Nicholas in the fire department’s latest in a series of monthly news releases. “Consider purchasing new smoke alarms and batteries in case they need replacing and remember to install carbon monoxide alarms if your cottage is equipped with a fuel burning appliance, fireplace or storage garage.” To minimize the risk of fire and burn injury, the fire service recommends the following cottage fire safety tips: • Install smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas and install carbon monoxide alarms in your cottage if it has a fuelburning appliance fireplace or attached garage. It’s the law. • Test alarms at least monthly or each time you return to the cottage. Pack new alarms and alarm batteries in case they need replacement. • Develop and practice a home fire escape plan to ensure everyone knows what to do if smoke or CO alarms sound. • Know the telephone number for the local fire department and your cottage’s emergency sign number, in case of emergency. • Clean barbecues before using them. Keep

• Check with the fire department, municipality, or Ministry of Natural Resources to determine whether open air burning is permitted and what rules apply before having a campfire or burning brush. If open burning is allowed, fires should be built on bare soil or on exposed rock. Remove leaves and twigs from around the fire to keep it from spreading. Always keep a bucket of water, sand, or even a shovel close by and supervise the fire at all times. • If you must smoke, do so outside. Keep a large can with water nearby so cigarette butts can be safely discarded. If you drink, do so responsibly. Tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption are contributing factors in many fires and can lead to serious injuries. • Burn candles in sturdy candleholders that will not tip and are covered with a glass shade. When you go out, blow out!

an eye on lit barbecues and ensure all combustibles, as well as children and pets are kept well away from them. Fires can happen when barbecues are left unattended. • Keep barbecue lighters and matches out of sight and reach of children. • Remember to bring a flashlight with extra batteries. • Check heating appliances and chimneys before using them.

Canada Post should rethink cutbacks: Liberal candidate all the alternatives or that they have adequately consulted with Canadians, particularly seniors or those with disabilities.” He said if elected the Liberals would impose an immediate moratorium on the decision to end door-to-door mail delivery and would undertake a full review of Canada Post’s business plan. The phasing out of door-to-door delivery began last year when Canada Post announced a significant overhaul of its operations. The cutback and increase in stamp costs adversely affects individuals and small businesses, said Lehoux. The Liberals are calling on the government to instruct Canada Post to reconsider its options, he added. “It is unfair for the Conservative government

Staff

The newly nominated federal Liberal candidate for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, Jeff Lehoux, has said his party will stop, at least temporarily, Canada Post cutbacks in door-todoor service. In a news release last week, Lehoux explained that the federal Liberal Party opposes what he calls a Conservative plan to cuts services and increases costs for Canadian households. “The Conservatives are asking Canadians to pay more for their postal services, while getting less service. That is not fair,” said Lehoux. “We do not believe the government considered

to expect Canadians to pay more for their postal services while receiving fewer benefits.” He said his party doesn’t believe Canada Post considered all alternatives or that the corporation adequately consulted with Canadians, particularly seniors or those with disabilities, prior to unveiling its new Action Plan. Lehoux added that the Liberals believe Canada Post was premature to conclude it was facing a huge budget deficit based on a report claiming the corporation was facing declining mail volumes and increasing costs. Canada Post had insufficient data to make this conclusion, he said. Up until 2012, a year that included a postal strike, Canada Post had been profitable each

year since the early 1990s, the Liberals noted. The Liberal news release points out that when the House of Commons Standing Committee on Transport reviewed the issue witnesses testified the reform of home delivery services will be particularly difficult for seniors with limited mobility and for some Canadians with disabilities. Yet in an NDP-sponsored debate in the Commons, Conservative Minister Lisa Raitt provided a staunch defence of the corporation’s plan, said the Liberals. Communities have also expressed concern there is no room in older neigbhourhoods to install community mailboxes that would be needed in place of door-to-door delivery.

Caregivers to receive additional support next year: Gallant The federal government has proposed an increase in financial support for individuals taking care of family members facing a significant risk of death. Compassionate care ben-

efits, which are provided through the Employment Insurance (EI) program, are available to individuals temporarily away from work to care for a sick family member with a significant risk of COLDWELL BANKER VALLEY WIDE REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE

death. Effective Jan. 3, 2016, the proposed enhanced benefit will allow claimants to collect up to 26 weeks of benefits, up from the current six weeks. The benefits can also be taken within an expanded pe-

riod of 52 weeks (up from 26 weeks) and can be shared between family members. “The changes … will ensure families are able to care for their loved ones. I am pleased that families in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke will be able to access enhanced benefits when needed, said the riding’s MP Cheryl Gallant in

a news release last Friday. Since March 24, 2013, the Helping Families in Need Act has allowed parents to suspend the payment of their EI parental benefits if they become ill or are injured, and collect EI sickness benefits. Last year the federal government provided additional flexibility to claimants in receipt of EI

compassionate care benefits or EI benefits for parents of critically ill children to convert to EI sickness benefits if they become ill or are injured. Gallant said there are a number of relatively new programs that provide support for families and encouraged constituents to contact her office for further details.

People have had enough of the provincial government’s unaffordable hydro rates and are coming from across the province to express their frustration, said Progressive Conservative Energy Critic John Yakabuski. Responding to a protest against hydro rates at Queens Park, the Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MPP said that people are gathering to tell the government that “they cannot afford energy at 16.1 cents kWh – or what you dis-

missively call ‘a cup of coffee’. You are forcing them to choose between heating their homes or putting food on the table. Yakabuski charged that “skyrocketing energy rates are having a devastating impact on real people … because under the Green Energy Act you continue to sign contracts for expensive, intermittent, unreliable power.”  The result is continually increasing rates, he said. “How many more hundreds of thousands will be energy poor if you continue down

your disastrous energy path?” he asked. In addition, Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier charged that Ontario’s all-in hydro costs are the most expensive in Canada – not amongst the most competitive in North America as the government tries to convince people. “The true cost of your hydro mess is that your failed hydro policy has led to the most expensive electricity in the country,” said Hillier.

Rabbi Bulka denounces Israeli apartheid comparison Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

One of Ottawa’s best known and well-respected religious figures laments a growing campaign against Israel; he links it with antiSemitism. Rabbi Reuven Bulka said the Israeli apartheid movement – which compares the plight of Palestinians with that of non-whites in South Africa under official apartheid system – is deeply misguided and causes him great sadness. Boycotting the purchase of Israeli exports is picking up steam

on university campuses and other areas of western society. “It causes me a lot of heartache,” Bulka told a roomful at the Galilee Centre in Arnprior on May 20. “It’s a very painful thing.” Proponents of the movement say West Bank Palestinians are under occupation and a form of colonialism that resembles apartheid. Palestinians are used as cheap labour, critics say; they are forced to use separate, dilapidated roads, pass military checkpoints, and face inequities in legal and land rights.

The apartheid analogy has been used by United Nations investigators, scholars and human rights groups. Opponents call it a faulty analogy intended to delegitimize the Israeli state. The West Bank and Gaza are not part of sovereign Israel. They are governed by elected leaders from the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, respectively, unlike blacks in South Africa when apartheid was practiced. Also, the latter had explicit racial segregation policies. Israeli law is the same for all citizens, although the application of the law is a contentious issue; as it is in Canada regarding aboriginals and in the United States regarding African-Americans.

Third generation Leahy musicians to play concert in Arnprior

KEVIN READY/ SUBMITTED

Six of Agnes Leahy Enright’s children play in the third generation of Leahy entertainers. From left in front are Andrew, Mariel, Isaac, and Aaron and in back Liam and Jacqueline.

Staff

The next generation of musicians from the famous Leahy family are coming to Arnprior Sunday, June 14 for a charity concert. Youngsters from the Enright and Donahue families will entertain at the concert hosted by the Arnprior Knights of Columbus. The show will be held at 2 p.m. at the St. John Chrysostom parish hall. Concert organizer and member of the Knights of Columbus, Kevin Ready, knows the original members of the Celtic musical group, Leahy, from his days in the Peterborough area. He is a big fan and has been instrumental in working out the concert details. Fortunately for local music fans, two of the original members of Leahy, Agnes and Siobheann Leahy, married men from Douglas and live in this area. Now, as mothers of busy families, they perform sparingly with the group that has toured near and far, including a world tour with Shania Twain.

OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY MAY 31ST 2-4PM

The Arnprior White Pine Festival has put out a call for vendors for this summer’s event. The sixth annual festival will be held Aug. 22-23 in downtown Arnprior and Robert Simpson Park.

TEN YOUNG MUSICANS

Agnes Leahy Enright has eight children and six of them are part of a group of third generation of Leahy performers. Agnes sister, Siobheann Leahy Donahue, is a mother of four and they are all in the group as well. They have become well known in the Renfrew-Eganville-Douglas area, but now they are starting to get more exposure in and around the Ottawa area. The Arnprior show is being called ‘The Third Generation of Leahy Entertainment .. the Donahue and Enright families’, explained Ready. The Knights are “really excited” about them coming to Arnprior to play, he added. Proceeds of the June 14 concert will go toward several initiatives and charities supported by the Knights of Columbus.

venting the Steelʼ, Pantera became one of the driving forces in heavy music. When you see Goddamn Electric live, “itʼs like watching the real Pantera all over again,” says publicist David Berardi. The band features drummer Kevy Metallʼs machine-gun drum attack, bassist Fred Bizierʼs precise execution of the fretboard, Dave Evangelistaʼs insanely close Dimebag Darrell approach on guitar and Carl Davidʼs sheer force and power on vocals. The opening act for the show will be Hasta La Muerte, a band on the rise in Montrealʼs metal scene. The $10 tickets for the show are available online at eventbrite.ca, or Steve and Denniʼs Restaurant.

A tribute band for American metal artists Pantera is coming to Arnprior for a concert this Friday, May 29. The band Goddamn Electric is coming to the John St. Pub in downtown Arnprior for the concert. The band plays the hits of the Dallas-based band that has been around since the early 1980s when drummer Vinnie Paul and his guitarist brother ʻDimebagʼ Darrell put Pantera together with bassist Rex Brown and vocalist T Lee. After three self-released albums, Pantera added new frontman and New Orleans native Philip Anselmo. The collaboration of the heavy metal trio and explosive singer set the stage for a harder, “more damaging” sound. With releases such as ʻCowboys From Hellʼ, ʻFar Beyond Drivenʼ and ʻRein-

Autism and Autistic Spectrum “Autism now affects one in five children in Canada. Boys are five times more likely to be identified with Autism than girls. This means that about 1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls were identified.” (source www.autismservicesinc.com) A pretty scary outlook for parents who would like to have a family, isn’t it? “Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, verbal and non-verbal behaviour as well as restricted and repetitive behaviour.

However, over the years Heilkunst has treated quite a few individuals with autism and many in the spectrum, from mildly autistic to rather severely autistic. Only parents of autistic children know that above descriptions are nothing but words trying to describe their daily challenge. How hard it is to be the autistic child who is incapable of so many things, is barely imaginable, but the endless efforts of parents to somewhat try to live a normal life and integrate their autistic child into society is beyond words. Some say that this condition is hereditary and others refer to it as a potential childhood vaccination damage. However, one thing is for sure…the sooner the treatment is started the better the potential outcome. Not only has “Heilkunst” helped many families to cope with their daily challenges, but also healed some autistic children to re-integrate back into the normal social lifestyle while losing their autistic label. If you would like more information, I am happy to talk to you in order to discuss your individual challenge and what our Heilkunst treatment can do precisely for you. We also have a wonderful reference tool, the book “Autism - The Journey back” - a description of our Heilkunst treatment solely based on autistic cases. The book is available in my Heilkunst Health Clinic.

It just keeps getting better for KatieBears founders Lynda and Ian Fraser. The McNab-Braeside couple and a host of volunteers are busily preparing for this Saturdayʼs KatieBears Fun Day at the Renfrew Armouries. The event is a major fundraiser for KatieBears, an organization named for the Frasersʼ late daughter Katie, who died in 2009. The KatieBears organization gives out bears at annual holiday events and also sponsors two schools in Jamaica. Her daughterʼs memory is omnipresent. “Itʼs approaching six years now, itʼs unbelievable how time ﬂies,” said Lynda. She feels Katieʼs spirit all the time. “I know that sheʼs happy with what weʼre doing, I can always feel her presence,” she said. The Frasers have been making annual trips to Jamaica to visit the schools with donations and gifts, and this year they were pleased to be joined by several family members and volunteers. “What an amazing trip this year,” said Lynda. “It was unbelievable because we had the volunteers. It was so cool to see the looks on their faces.” It was amazing to be able to share the experience with her friends and KatieBears partners. “Laura Slater, one of our biggest volunteers, as soon as she got to the school, she started to

ADHS soccer teams qualify for EOSSA and head to Kingston Staff

Both Arnprior District High School senior soccer teams competed in Eastern Ontario championships this week after qualifying in Upper Ottawa Valley playoffs May 21. The senior boys went to Pembroke undefeated (5-0-2) and kept it that way as they returned as county champions with three straight wins. The girls, also undefeated in regular season play (7-0), won their first game, but lost a heart-breaking shootout 2-1 to arch-rival RCI in their second match. Nevertheless, as the County’s top-ranked AAA team, ADHS headed to Kingston Wednesday (after press deadline) to take part in EOSSAA. On the boys playoff action at Riverside Park, first-place ADHS won their opener as Conrad Nixon scored twice in a 2-0 win over Fellowes Falcons of Pembroke In the semi-final against Mackenzie of Deep River, Nixon scored

two more and Bryce Walker and Brayden Massoud added a goal each in the 4-2 Arnprior victory. In the championship game, the Redmen played Jeanne Lajoie from Pembroke and came away with a hard fought 2-1 win. Walker gave ADHS an early 1-0 lead, but the Redmen needed a penalty kick tally by Ryan Massoud to come away with the 2-1 win. As county champions, the boys team headed to Kingston Tuesday for the EOSSAA tournament. The senior girls capped off an exciting soccer season with two highly exciting and entertaining games. The first-place Redmen played Bishop Smith in their first game and after regulation play and two 10-minute overtime periods, ADHS won in a penalty kick shootout with Sarah Couture, Kelsey Hill and Sarah Symington beating the keeper for the Redmen In the semi-final the ADHS

seconds left in the match. Again ADHS played two more 10-minute overtime periods, but this time they lost in the shootout.

RCI went on to win the county championship with a 1-0 shootout victory over Valour, which has ousted St. Joseph’s in another shootout in

the other semi-final. In junior play (ADHS only fields senior teams), Fellowes won the boys title and Bishop Smith captured the girls crown.

Arnprior District High School track and field athletes continued to excel, following up their Renfrew County title by finishing second in the Eastern Ontario Secondary School’s Athletic Association (EOSSAA)

championships in Brockville. The May 21 and 22 event saw ADHS runner-up in team rankings from out of nearly 60 other schools. “EOSSAA champions include Justin Smith in discus with a personal best throw,” reported ADHS teacher and track coach Kelly Winter. Other ADHS Eastern Ontario

champions included Mackenzie Foster in 300-m hurdles and Hailey Wheeler in long hurdles and the Grade 9 4-by-100-m relay. The top finishing relay team included Foster along with Sydney Devlin, Hannah Perreault and Paige Miller. “Miller also won the EOSSAA

gold and broke the school record in girls pole vault,” said Winter. Every ADHS 4-by-100-m relay team qualified for the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association East Regionals that are being held May 28-29. “Redmen Curtis Foster was the standout on the track as a triple gold

medalist in senior boys, 100, 200 and long hurdles,” said Winter. There were also multiple secondplace finishes by ADHS competitors, including Matt Herbert, Kurtis Gardiner, Anne-Marie McNab and Paula Meek. A total of 37 ADHS athletes are competing in the Regionals.

Elementary students compete at McNab in areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual invitational track meet Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

Students ran like the wind on May 20 at McNab Public School at the annual elementary invitational track meet. The wind brought on a cooler morning for the schools participating. Retired teacher Lorna Pleau had been involved in the event for 31 years. She spent the day

as a starter for the races. She said the school was built in 1967 and estimated the invitational has been going on for at least 40 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back then, there were 12 schools involved,â&#x20AC;? said Pleau. Teacher Lisa McGregor said there were students competing from AJ Charbonneau, St. Joesphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, St. John XXIII, Renfrew Collegiate Institute, and, obviously, McNab.

New aprons and pinnys were a tradition each year at Mary’s

But that year, the quilt frame stayed in the kitchen against the North wall until the winter was over. And most nights it was rolled out and Mother and Audrey stitched after supper, sometimes until it was time to go to bed. And so, the sewing up of a fresh batch of aprons had to wait. Now it was time. Flour bags from the mill in Renfrew had been washed, soaked in javel water, washed a few times more, and stretched out on the clothesline to dry. They had been split open and Mother was able to get most of the coloured printing out of them. The stubborn ones which refused to give up their “pride of the valley” lettering would be made into everyday tea towels, and, sometimes, bloomers for me, which caused me great embarrassment if anyone accidentally saw the printing if I had to bend over. Aprons, or pinnys as we called them, were as important as the braided rugs on

the ﬂoor. Flour bags made up the bulk of the aprons, but once a year Mother went to Walkerʼs Store in Renfrew and bought a few yards of a heavy white cotton that came on a long roller, not folded like the many bolts of Dan River cotton on the shelves, and this material was turned into longer aprons, which I thought at the time were made for someone at least six feet tall! They covered your entire body, from your neck to below your knees and for me that meant right to the ﬂoor, with a goodly portion about my feet like a bed sheet. CHURNING BUTTER

I had to wear one of these long pinnys when I churned butter, covering me from my chin to my ankles. And Mother wore a clean one every day. Because, even if there wasnʼt a spot on it, it had to be changed for a clean fresh one when she started her day. One of these long pinnys hung on a nail at the back door too, just in case some unexpected visitor came calling. It would never do to greet someone in anything but a freshly washed and ironed pinny! If there was any of this store-bought cotton left over, a few bibbed aprons, and half aprons were made and these were trimmed with pieces of Dan River cotton. Mother even made smaller aprons for

My favourite aprons were the ones with bibs, which had a frill around them, always in a contrast to the apron itself. These were considered ʻcompanyʼ aprons. Besides the one always-clean white apron that hung at the back door in case of unexpected company, all the aprons were kept in a washstand under the window looking out into the back yard. Why we needed so many aprons was beyond me. And when Monday washday rolled around, it was a common sight to see at least a half dozen long white pinnys, one or two ʻcompanyʼ aprons, and a couple half aprons on the clothes line, all hanging in order of course. Aprons were as necessary as ﬂourbag underwear back then, and expected to be just as spotless. Both very much a symbol of the times. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Mary Cook’s Memories

me, and I was expected to wear one no matter what chore I was doing in the house. An apron was necessary, and thatʼs all there was to it! When Father was cooking up a meal of his German foods, he too, of course, had to wear a long white pinny. His wasnʼt to cover his clothes and keep them free of ﬂying grease, but rather to give him something to wipe his hands on when he was stirring the pans and pots on the stove. By the time his meal was ready, the apron was ready for the wash.

Mother blamed it all on a busy winter. There always seemed to be something to do when the icy blasts of the long cold nights pounded the old log house. Things that prevented Mother from a winter job that didnʼt get done that year! And that was sewing up a batch of new aprons. Other years, the old singer sewing machine stood at the ready ... for those few minutes Mother could squeeze into an evening, when she would churn out another pinny, and sometimes she could make at least two on a quiet evening.

Third annual Keep the Wheels Turning campaign launched This is a special year for Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program (ABMSH). Sept. 18 will mark the 35th anniversary of the community support services agency. Without the financial support from the community, the growth and success of the agency for the past 35 years would not have been possible. This year also marks the start of the third annual ‘Keep the Wheels Turning Yellow Envelope Mail-out Dare to Care’ campaign in support of the Para Transit Care Coach, the only specialized transportation service for persons of all ages and needs living in Arnprior and McNab-Braeside. Because the operation of the Para Transit Care Coach relies totally on local fundraising, locally-raised financial support continues to be the main reason the Para Transit Care Coach can continue to provide for the residents of Arnprior, McNab-Braeside and certain areas of West Carleton, including Fitzroy Harbour, Kinburn, Woodlawn and Dunrobin. Other trips, not within the Care Coach’s main territory, have been to Pakenham, Almonte, Ottawa, Renfrew, Pembroke and North Bay. Since Feb. 4, 2008, over 14,000 trips (which included 9,199 wheelchair and 4,839 ambulatory clients) have been provided to citizens, no matter the age, who require the specialized transportation service. The Care Coach provides a vital service while maintaining independence for those who may not be able to leave their homes in comfort or in a secure manner. Independence is maintained; a human right for all. “We are very grateful for the excellent service provided by the Seniors at Home office staff and the Para Transit Care Coach for my mom (Mrs. Dorcas Woermke) who is a wheelchair-bound, 10-year resident of The Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior. We depend on the Care Coach for transportation to medical and dental appointments as well as to church and social events in our community.  Our kind and dependable driver, Colin (Borshevsky) looks after all aspects of any journey we need to make so that we arrive on time and stress free. My mom’s quality of life is certainly enhanced by this wonderful, affordable service and, for this, our family is truly thankful.” Valerie Wereley of Arnprior.

Time up the Line features top-notch musicians Concert to benefit Fitzroy Pastoral Charge, Arnprior Special Olympics Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Get ready for a rockin’ good Time up the Line. Ten top-notch local musicians, including Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Famer Wilf Arsenault, will perform at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre on Sunday, June 7. Proceeds from the fundraising concert, titled ‘A Time up the Line’ will support the Fitzroy Pastoral Charge and the Arnprior Special Olympics. “We were trying to do something, rather than just do a standard fundraiser,” said Kinburn musician Rick Leben, who will be performing at the concert. “It’s grown into this monster. We’ve got all kinds of talent; it’s going to be great.” Arsenault and Leben will be joined onstage by drummer Tim

McCurdy, from Nepean, Kirk Warren of White Lake, Danny Strong and his son Travis, Kevin Davis from Woodlawn, Doug McKenna of Kinburn, Renfrew’s Larry Doughetry and Lyle Dillabough from Carleton Place. Travis, a Grade 3 student at St. Michael School in Fitzroy who plays a mean fiddle, is looking forward to sharing the stage with other well-known locals. “I’m going to be playing with some famouser-than-me people,” he said. “I’m excited.” GOOD CAUSE

The musicians are donating their time and talent, as is professional auctioneer – and Leben’s uncle – Revel Stewart of Stewart’s Auctions. Stewart will lead the homemade pie auction, of which there will be many

delicious varieties. And West Carletoner Aaron Warren, who owns Parapet Studios, will engineer the sound and provide the equipment. “It doesn’t get a whole lot better than this,” said Leben. “And the talent – I’m so pleased these folks have come to do this.” A number of Special Olympians will be attending the concert, which will feature country, secular and some gospel music, as well as a few tales from the Valley, said Leben. “It’s for a good cause,” said Leben. “We have seating for 300 so we’re hoping to be turning people away.” Doors open at 1:30 p.m. with the event kicking off at 2 p.m. Admission is by free-will donation, light refreshments will be served, and parking is free.

New jewelry collection helps promote Burnstown Ovarian cancer walk A Burnstown art gallery owner is once again planning to showcase the popular designs of a Montreal jeweller in conjunction with promoting an annual Ovarian Cancer awareness walk in the village. Bitterweet Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cheryl Babineau is presenting Anne Marie Chagnonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest works in a spring trunk starting Saturday, June 6. Collection 2015 marks 20 years of design for the Montreal artist and Bittersweet gallery is celebrating 15 years representing Canadian fine craftspeople and artisans, hence the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name twenty/fifteen. The seasonal spring open house marks the fourth annual event in support of the Burnstown Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk for HER, held each fall to help raise awareness of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals and objectives. Babineau is collaborating with Burnstown resident Denyse Campeau, the walk chair, who will be present June 6 to answer questions and raise awareness of Ovarian Cancer Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals and objectives. The event will also feature new works of its stable of artists and introduce some new ones. Sculptor Richard Gill will open his studio where visitors can preview some current works in progress. Refreshments will be served and there will also be draws to win a Chagnon piece as well as a relief sculpture by Gill. As in the past, Bittersweet will donate 10 per

Participants of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk raised more than $12,000 a 50 per cent increase from 2013. In Canada, about 2,600 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer annually, and 1,750 lives are lost each year to it. Currently, there are 17,000 women living in Canada with the disease. The commitment by Babineau and Gill to the cause has a personal aspects as Gillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughters are genetically at high risk of contracting the disease. Ovarian Cancer Canada is the only registered Canadian charitable organization whose mission is to overcome ovarian cancer, providing leadership by: â&#x20AC;˘ supporting women living with the disease and their families; â&#x20AC;˘ raising awareness in the general public and with health care professionals; â&#x20AC;˘ funding research to improved treatment and, ultimately, a cure. Held every fall across Canada, the Ovarian Walk is the largest one-day event in Canada that raises awareness and money solely for the fight against ovarian cancer. Those who wish to become involved to help with Burnstown walk tasks can contact Campeau by email at dcampeaul1@sympatico.ca or by calling 613-432-9569.

LCBO stores fundraise for spina bifida group lic awareness about sb/h, complex, lifelong neurological conditions affecting Ontarians from newborns to senior citizens.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;LCBO is pleased to partner with Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association of Ontario and support a variety of worthy causes throughout the year,â&#x20AC;? said LCBO president Bob Peter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The generous support from LCBO customers and staff helps these charitable organizations make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and communities across Ontario.â&#x20AC;? CHARITY SUPPORT

SB&H is one of 28 provincial and numerous local charities that will benefit from LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s province-wide donation box program this year. In 2013, LCBO raised more than $8.2 million for charities through special programs and initiatives, of which $7.7 million was raised through in-store fundraising. In addition, LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual dividend transfer to the Ontario government, which totaled $1.74 billion in fiscal year 2013-14, supports a wide range of government programs, services and priorities, including health care and education. R0032125252

For the next month, the public can help support the Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus (SP&H) Association of Ontario by making a donation at any of the more than 650 LCBO stores throughout Ontario. Donation boxes for the association are being displayed at LCBO checkout counters, including Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, until June 20. SB&H is the only organization in Ontario providing support, comprehensive information and education to children, adults, families and caregivers facing extraordinary challenges as a result of spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Every Baby is a Victoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign spreads the word about the vital need for women in their reproductive years to take a daily multivitamin containing .4 mg of folic acid. Doing so can dramatically reduce the risk of birth defects such as spina bifida. â&#x20AC;&#x153;LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s province-wide store network, generous customers and supportive staff help us raise significant funds for important programs and services benefiting thousands of Ontario families,â&#x20AC;? said SB&H executive director Elaine Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also helps to increase pub-

Chantal Venne of Arnprior gives blood at a donor clinic at the Nick Smith Centre on May 13. She has given her B negative blood before. The Canadian Blood Services were hoping for 115 units of blood at the clinic.

Giving blood in Arnprior to save others Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The Canadian Blood Services clinic rolled into the Nick Smith Centre on May 13 anticipating donations of up to 115 units of blood. The 12-bed set-up saw 65 people donate by late afternoon, well on their way to their goal. Clinic supervisor Marlene Shade explained all donors are giving 450

ml of their blood and that donation will help anywhere from four to five people. The process for donors takes about an hour at most. They go through registration, health screening and the donating process, followed by refreshments. They may also get rebooked for the next clinic in town, set for July 15. Shade said the snacks such as cookies help bring a donorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood

sugar up as giving blood can lower it. The refreshments are looked after by the Arnprior Rotary Club and the help of local merchants such as Metro, No Frills and Tim Hortons. Terry Dawson of the Rotary Club joked that the only time he has Timbits is when he gives blood. Dawson estimated the club has been involved with the clinic for 13 years and that he himself has donated 94 times.
