ity asking who uses the town’s services and who else is philosophically willing to pay for them for the greater good of the community. The survey asks recipients six questions involving Arnprior and Renfrew recreation and library services. They are being asked if they use the town services, if they support paying for the town services or are unwilling to pay the services.

“Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and return it in the postage pre-paid envelope,” propertyowners are being urged. Despite some reports, the survey will not ask residents whether the township should continue to pay for the services with property taxes. Council made it clear during budget deliberations Feb. 4 that the recreation and library agreements will no longer

be funded from the tax base in 2014 as is the case this and past years. The agreements, which took up 6.6 per cent of the municipal portion of the 2013 property tax bill, come to an end on Dec. 31. Instead, only residents using the towns’ services and others agreeable to help them pay will be billed. See YOU WILL PAY, Page 3

EMC news – The effort by the Miller Group to obtain approval for a major expansion of its operations at the Braeside Quarry has hit another roadblock. The provincial ministries of Natural Resources and Environment have expressed concerns about the effects an expansion would have on water, wildlife and wetlands in the area. The MNR has told Miller’s that it will not get an aggregate licence for the expansion unless significant improvements are made to studies of the issues and more protective actions are implemented. The MNR has detailed its many concerns in 20-plus pages. The aggregate licence process is running in parallel with

the municipal planning process to determine if council should approve the application. Council will now have to decide whether the MNR’s reluctance to approve the aggregate licence should put the zoning decision-making on hold, noted Mayor Mary Campbell. Council was scheduled to discuss the MNR and MOE concerns at its planning advisory meeting Tuesday (after press deadline). MNR and MOE officials attended council’s special planning advisory meeting June 3 and explained that the aggregate licensing decision and finalization of the site plan comes after the zoning is approved. However, council didn’t receive the detailed list of their concerns until later in the week.

Quarry application concerns voiced by MNR Continued from front

In a letter to Miller’s dated May 27, the Pembroke MNR office listed five major concerns. It concluded that “based on the review of the information submitted, MNR wishes to register a formal objection to the above noted Aggregate Resource Act licence application.� The MNR asked Miller’s to contact its office to set up a meeting to “further discuss our concerns and to scope necessary work in addressing them.� Its letter says it has a number of concerns relating to the hydreological assessessment report that requires further information or clarification “in order for MNR to be confident that there will be no negative effects on surface water features including wetland features on and adjacent to the site.� The MNR notes that the application area includes a heavily used deer wintering yard in one of the largest forested sections of conifer left in the munici-

pality. The ministry said it has concerns with about 14 acres of “prime deer winter cover being lost in the vicinity of the selected asphalt plant location.â€? It adds that a habitat connectivity should be maintained along the south boundary of the quarry property by creating a conifer tree buffer. The concerns also include: • the known wetlands on and adjacent to the Quarry have not been evaluated properly and some haven’t been identified at all; • environmental reports need to be updated regarding the area’s significant woodland requirements; • environmental reports need to be update regarding the area’s significant wildlife habitat; • documentation regarding searches for endangered and threaten species is lacking. Meanwhile, Miller’s has announced it will be holding another open house, probably in July, after the notice of its first

meeting on May 6 didn’t go to all those it should have. Miller’s also wants to respond to resident concerns raised at the public meeting. ANOTHER PUBLIC MEETING

Campbell said that council could hold another public meeting in conjunction with Miller’s open house because of the new concerns being raised. Council hadn’t seen the final planning report or the site plan details at the time of the first public meeting, which was held on May 6. However, there is a certain weariness among council over how long the process, which started six years ago, has taken, she said. Council is also facing complaints regarding setbacks in the wake of planner Bruce Howarth’s recommendations last week. Residents are arguing that the setbacks should be determined

from property lines, not residences. They also suggest that the setbacks being accepted are too short. Campbell agreed that the MNR, at the June 4 meeting, appears to be using the Fallowfield pit as a guideline regarding setbacks. Officials noted that complaints stopped when homes were at least 450 meters away, so seemed to indicate that 500 meters would be an appropriate setback. So residents have cause to complain about the 300-meter setback, which is only been given to the residents on the golf club side, said Campbell. Fact representatives argue that the setbacks legally have to be at least 300 meters. Furthermore, from past experience, people had adverse effects as far as 800 meters away, they maintain. More details about the quarry application are available on the township’s website.

‘You will pay’ if you use town recreation, library services what would happen if people refused to pay. Staff said the charges could be added to the property-owners’ taxes the next year, although council will have to pass a bylaw to authorize that action. Staff asked how the system would work for those owning more than one property in the township, which has about 3,000 residents and 3,800 properties. EXPECT QUESTIONS

Blimkie suggested that a multiple property-owner using or supporting the services should say yes in one survey and no on the others. She also explained that if a renter is a user of the services, it’s up to the landlord to determine how they should recoup the charge. Council also agreed it will have to decide how to interpret the position of people who don’t fill out the surveys. “What’s our default (setting),� asked Campbell. No official decision was made, but it appears a non-response will be tabulated as a ‘no’. Coun. Bob Campbell noted that the list of user and supporters will change from year to year. “This shouldn’t be a lifetime thing.� Mayor Campbell agreed that residents should be able to come into the office and opt in or out each year if they wanted. She said the issue may be clear to councillors, but cautioned them to expect questions on how much it will cost people if they agree to support the services. “Unfortunately until we finish negotiations (with the towns) and have the results of the survey, we can’t tell,� she said. She noted that recreation costs about $150 to $200 per year now for people, but that could go over $200 or drop below $100 depending on all the variables. “This is as clear as we can make it at this point in time.� She also noted that the survey will create considerable interest in Arnprior, as it will affect their costs in operating the Nick

Smith Centre. Councillors had a difficult time deciding what to call the fee, finally agreeing with treasurer Connie Graham that it is a service charge. “It still looks like a user fee to me,â€? said Coun. Aldene Styles. Mayor Campbell said most people seem to be happy to see the charges off the tax base, “but there are sure to be lots of folks still wondering what this means,â€? she said. Styles noted the budget implications will become clearer once the results of the survey are compiled. Campbell said the best thing the township could do is show its residents it can provide its own affordable recreation programs. “We have to let them know ‌ council is looking at alternatives,â€? she added. Campbell said that the main concerns will come from users of the Nick Smith Centre arenas and swimming pool. Council needs to discuss the feasibility of developing its own covered rink and offering swimming lessons, which could “take away some of the pain,â€? she said. Meanwhile, McNab-Braeside continues to pursue new agreements with the towns, she stressed. “It’s just we’ll be paying for them in a different way.â€? JOINT RECREATION COMMITTEE

The cost will be divided among propertyowners who use or support the library and/ or recreation facilities, explained Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie. Council members noted that grandparents and friends of users may well want to help pay for the services, as well as those who feel they should continue to be offered township residents. The township has indicated all users and supporters who own property will be invoiced separately as a supporter or user. Funds from property taxes allocated to recreation will go to the township’s own programs. The township is expecting to receive lists of all users of the Arnprior library and Nick Smith Centre programs. All users will be billed even if they claim in the survey not to be users, stressed councillors. “If you’re on the (Arnprior) list of users, you’ll have to pay,â€? explained township CEO Noreen Mellema. “We’re not worried about (determining who are) the users,â€? said Blimkie. “But we need to track the people who support it but are not using it. “That’s my concern ‌ capturing all the supporters. People tell me their parents will support it even if they aren’t users.â€? The township has had difficulty getting lists of users from Arnprior in the past. However, Mayor David Reid has indicated the list will be made available to the township, although it hadn’t received them by the original delivery date of early this year. The library cited privacy issues in not providing user names in the past, but has agreed to let township representatives see the names if they come to the library to see the list. The township has received complete lists of library and recreation program users from Renfrew in the past. “The towns need to provide a list of users to be paid,â€? said Blimkie. “That’s non-negotiable. That’s the terms.â€? In discussion June 4, council questioned

FISHING

The monster fish that was nearly another’s lunch EMC lifestyle – Get the kids out of the river, there’s a monster lurking. Steven Grail is no stranger to catching big fish. With 50-plus years of fishing in and around the Ottawa, Grail’s caught beauties: dozens of muskie, more pike, and a bunch of bass. One a super fatty. You name it and he’s landed it. He’s even nabbed barracuda in Mexico – they turn every colour of the rainbow when you pull them out – and other beasts in other countries. He knows fishing. So, when on May 31 at around 8 p.m. as the light began to fade, he didn’t think much at first of the jiggling on his 78-inch rod with 12pound test line. But what transpired over the course of the next hour, in four-foot water, proved to be his finest hour on the Ottawa. It happened at a cottage not too far from his hometown of Arnprior. Using a five-inch Rapala lure with no leader, Grail said the pike he caught jumped out of the water about 10 times, sometimes clearing it by four feet. It ran several times for more than 200 feet. “It was the best fight I’ve ever had in my life,” he said of the pike that

DEREK DUNN Valley fish tales weighed in at between 30 and 40 pounds. “I put him back. I already have a pike on my wall.” He knows it wasn’t a muskie. The stubbed nose, brown in colour, characteristic pores – it all pointed to a northerner. He beached it after 9 p.m. and because the mosquitoes were so bad he tied it to part of the dock until morning. This is where the story gets really interesting. He returned in daylight to check out the prisoner. “It was snapping at me like an alligator,” he said. “When its mouth opened you could easily drop a soccer ball into it.” That’s when he noticed, while struggling to lift the thing out of the water - it slapping the water like a beaver’s tail - that his fish had a bite mark down near its tail. The teeth

marks formed a semi circle eight inches wide. Eight. Something out there tried to eat a 35-pound pike. Now that’s nasty.

SETTING THE SCENE

Joe Banks’ favourite fishing story isn’t about landing a killer pike or any other fish. His is more on the big picture level. It’s about the topography of one of his favourite spots to dip a canoe in the river. A hidden gem along the mighty Ottawa is a conservation area known as Morris Island. Located near the village of Fitzroy Harbour, this 47 hectare site consists of forested woodlands and wetlands that will appeal to nature enthusiasts of all ages. Banks, now a journalism instructor at Algonquin College, recalls dipping a canoe in a spot he calls Snye River, or the South Ottawa. This is back in 1984 before he was a reporter at the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide and while the editor of Almonte’s newspaper. “I happened to be the president of

the Almonte Fish and Game Club at the time,” he said. “I went with good reader-friend of mine, Neil MacArthur. Very few people knew about this place. We caught about 30 large mouth bass that day. We ran out of room on our stringer.” The two caught progressively larger fish as the day wore on. They used smallish silver-and-black lures. Little guys were released and bigger ones gilled to the stringer. But for Banks, the fishing was the sideshow. He was more struck and impressed by the geography and wildlife. It was the first time he saw a gar pike, sunning itself in shallow water as they are prone to do. He was even spooked by a huge water snake. Regal limestone, the lazy river meandering around bends, the stately trees: it was a memory he kept for many years until his return a five summers ago. Banks, who lives in Osgoode, said the river has grown in over the years and the water’s a little lower, but remains a stunningly beautiful place.

Catholic priest pleads guilty EMC news – An Arnprior Catholic priest has pleaded guilty to five counts of sexually molesting young boys in incidents that occurred about 40 years ago. Father Daniel Miller made the plea during a court appearance in Pembroke on June 3. The retired priest was accompanied by Msgr. Douglas Bridge of the Pembroke Diocese. The victims, who ranged from 9 to 13 years old, were from the Arnprior, Deep River and Eganville areas. Court heard that Miller treated the boys with outings to the movies and the Renfrew Fair, bought them gifts such as clothing and treated them to meals at restaurants and fast food outlets. Most of the indecent incidents, which occurred between 1969 and 1978, happened in Miller’s mother’s home in Renfrew during overnight stays. After being confronted in the late 1990s by a mother whose son told her about the abuse after he had become an adult, Miller wrote a letter of apol-

ogy and was reassigned duties, the court was told. A police investigation was begun some 10 years later and Miller was charged in February 2012 with gross indecency and indecent assault. He originally faced 12 charges in relation to six victims. One June 3, he pleaded guilty to five counts of indecent assault against five victims, who are now in their late forties and early fifties. In statement of facts, the court was told details of the abuse and how the victims were traumatized by the incidents. The victims’ names are protected by a publication ban. Father Miller worked out of the Saint John Chrysostom Church in Arnprior from 1976 to the late 1990s, but has been residing recently in the Pembroke area. As well as serving in Arnprior, he had duties at Catholic churches in Eganville and Deep River. Miller’s sentencing hearing will be held at the Pembroke Courthouse on Sept. 17 and is open to the public. He remains free until the hearing. With files from Derek Dunn

Report From Parliament:

Our Government is committed to promoting consumer protection in the wireless industry. This week, the Government of Canada proposed a new wireless code, which will help protect Canadians while giving them greater choice and opportunity with respect to cell phones. This code, which will be enforced by the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), will set out basic rights and protections for Canadians and small businesses with cellphones, smartphones, and other wireless mobile devices. This wireless code is the result of eight months of public consultations, where the Government asked Canadians how they would improve the existing wireless contract system. These consultations have produced a wireless code which will: r BMMPX $BOBEJBOT UP UFSNJOBUF UIFJS XJSFMFTT DPOUSBDUT after two years without cancellation fees; r QSFWFOU CJMM TIPDL CZ DBQQJOH FYUSB EBUB DIBSHFT BU $50/month and international data roaming charges at $100/month; r BMMPX DFMMQIPOFT UP CF VOMPDLFE BGUFS EBZT r BMMPX GPS UIF SFUVSO PG DFMMQIPOFT XJUIJO EBZT BOE r NBLF XJSFMFTT DPOUSBDUT TJNQMFS BOE FBTJFS UP understand. The new wireless code will take effect December 2nd, 2013, and will only apply to contracts bought after that date. In order to encourage a competitive marketplace, there needs to be at least four wireless providers are needed in every region of the country. To help meet this standard, and to promote competition and fairer, lower wireless prices, the Government has decided to block Telus’ planned takeover of Mobilicity and its acquisition of Mobilicity’s wireless spectrum licences. Earlier this year, our Government announced several new measures, including expanding the requirement for companies to provide roaming to competitors and strengthening cell tower sharing rules. Our Government is always seeking public input and suggestions on how to make the wireless industry fairer to consumers. Since the Conservative Party came into Government in 2006, I have advocated for the expansion or wireless and high speed internet through rural Canada. This resulted in the expansion of high speed internet into Renfrew Nipissing Pembroke through the hard work of the members of the local Broadband Renfrew Access Valley Ontario (BRAVO) Task Force I struck in 2007. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is eliminating the long gun registry, promoting agriculture, international trade, AECL, 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.

Long range expense forecast eyed for Arnprior pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - With Arnprior spending an average of $2 million per year on capital expenditures, a 10-year long range capital forecast is needed to help plan for upcoming expenses, said the town’s CAO. The long range capital forecast (LRCF) would act as a financial planning tool. It keeps council and staff informed during the annual budget process as well as during other financial planning processes. It would be reviewed every year and updated as needed, said CAO Michael Wildman. The LRCF fits into the town’s Strategic Plan’s vision of creating a sustainable financial model by 2017. Council approved the 2013 budget with the fundamental principal of the “pay-asyou-go” approach, which essentially means that the town puts aside more funds than it spends. The LRCF would ultimately help narrow down what funds need to go where and

when it is most needed. “It’s really a snapshot in time of known upcoming budget and infrastructure expenditures,” said Wildman. It is dynamic and can be altered to suit council needs. It will be revisited every year, changing depending on things like planning, growth, inflation, asset management and updates to water and wastewater models. With so many variables, it is very difficult to predictions over a decade and most municipalities choose not to plan past the five-year mark, said Wildman. Capital expenses in the first five years of the LRCF are broken out by year while the other five years are lumped together. Details and precise numbers will emerge as the years go by, said Wildman. Expenses are marked in today’s dollars and will be updated yearly to reflect the market’s fluctuation. Funding sources are not identified within the LRCF as the decisions are made by council during the annual budget.

Concerns about the nature of the LRCF were brought up during the June 10 council meeting. “I’m not all that comfortable with the grouping with the second five years,” said Reeve Walter Stack. “We are just spreading them out.” Even during long-range planning, potential funding sources must be sought and not left at the last minute, he added. Expenses under $10,000 were not included within the LRCF. “We could have picked $5,000, but the number we selected was $10,000,” said Wildman. “It tends to be a fairly normal number for municipal expenses.” Planning for the long term helps keep balance by predicting the average costs of capital projects and making them financially sustainable for ratepayers. “We try to keep a stable line to try to avoid high fluctuations in the costs, which would results in high fluctuations in taxes,” said Wildman. Council will deliberate on the LRCF on June 24.

county did that assessment to ensure there would be no soilcontamination issues down the road. There were also unforeseen costs for exterior add-ons, upgraded accessibility for the handicapped and special millwork for security, said Moreau. “What I’ve learned is there are more challenges for retrofits for special-purpose buildings,” said Moreau. “I thought we were going to get away with a more conservative budget estimate on this project. Most projects have a 10 per cent contingency. We thought

our budget was tight enough, so we had a two per cent contingency, but that wasn’t enough.” On the bright side, the development and property committee says the finished building maintains the design and appearance established by Renfrew County for previous projects throughout the county. Examples would be Renfrew County Place and county’s paramedic base stations. The official opening of the building, which has been open for a couple of months, was scheduled for today (Thursday) at noon.

EMC news - Renfrew County officials aren’t happy about the project cost overrun on Arnprior’s new social services building. But they hope to learn from the experience. Those officials include development and property director Paul Moreau, who heads up the 23-member department. During the May 29 meeting of county council, he explained the reasons for the $70,000 overrun on the building at 80 McGonigal St. The former Valley Catering R0011949756/0307 building was gutted and rebuilt Complete Family Eye Care in time for a late-February 2013 Quality Eyewear and Lenses opening.

Let’s avoid casino tunnel vision

F

ollowing recent upheaval in the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation boardroom and a change of tact on casinos initiated by the premier’s office, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson has also made an about face on the issue. After making the case for the city to support a downtown casino, the mayor now wants to see any new gaming facilities placed at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. While this is great news for anyone connected with the horse racing industry, and there are many of those in the Arnprior area, it should be at least a little disconcerting for many as once again Ottawa is narrowing the discussion about a particular issue. Remember the epic court battles fought by the city over the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park? Many of the arguments against the city partnering with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group pointed to a lack of open competition. Isn’t that what’s happening here? Like with Lansdowne, there is at least one other group interested in making a bid to build a casino in another area of the city: Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk wants the opportunity to build one beside Scotiabank Place. From a selfish viewpoint, any location on the city’s west end closer to our area would be better.

An open competition only makes sense, not only for the bidder, but the city as well. Competition would see multiple business plans presented to the city, which staff could in turn evaluate to come up with a recommendation that makes the most sense for Ottawa and area. More than likely, what makes sense would be a proposal that maximizes gambling revenue for Ontario, as this is really the only reason to build a new casino – if we’re not in it to make money, we probably shouldn’t be building one at all. This is not to say the raceway can’t present a compelling business case. It has lots of land to build on and few neighbours to annoy. Area gamblers are also familiar with the existing slots. The biggest drawbacks to the site are a lack of growth potential due to its distance from downtown and the lack of transportation infrastructure. Downtown, on the other hand, doesn’t suffer either of those problems. Downtown’s biggest problem is the lack of a ready-made site. Melnyk’s potential plan would fall somewhere between the two: ample space, good transit links and location near Highway 417. These are the factors that need to be considered by the city, and by narrowing the potential sites to just one, Watson is effectively neutering this discussion.

LETTER

Too many risks to rush quarry decision To the Editor: What’s the hurry? Last week’s (June 6) Chronicle front page sure grabbed attention! ‘Provisional yes for quarry’. This paper has printed dozens of letters from citizens over the past months and years voicing their objection to this quarry expansion. This paper has printed the words of a highly respected expert, Dr. Henry S. Cole, saying that putting a permanent asphalt plant in people’s backyards is a danger to their health. Asphalt plants emit cancer-causing chemicals. That is not a secret. Children are most susceptible to all these dangerous emissions. Everyone knows that. If you smell asphalt you are breathing carcinogens, again no secret. Yet the county planner Bruce Howarth says there will be odour, so it is OK in his books that children are exposed to a cancer risk, for all their growing years; this plant is to be permanent. Bruce Howarth says that this residential growth around the quarry is a typical example of incompatible land use, but he is quite content to advise

Council to go ahead with it anyway. Unbelievable! The recommended changes are miniscule. Some had to be changed because they were either against MOE guidelines, Provincial Policy Statement guidelines or were deceptive and, therefore, unethical. And Deputy Mayor Blimkie was pushing for the Council to accept the planning report, which advises Council to accept the expansion. Councillor Styles was quoted as saying, “I think we’re going to have to bite the bullet and make a decision one way or another. It can’t go on and on.� So we have two councillors in a hurry to get the deed done. Interesting that Miller has been working on their proposal for six years! Six years is not exactly a hurry. Let’s look at the other side. MNR has made public their letter to Miller refusing them an aggregate license. Yes, that’s right, they have refused them their license to mine aggregate. MNR have 25 pages of important reasons why the Miller studies are just not up to scratch. One of those concerns could be a quarry buster too; the work hasn’t been done so

they just don’t know. MOE has also weighed in on the groundwater and they have concerns about quantity and quality of the water. They think that quarrying down as deep as Miller wants to go, under the water table, within five metres of the aquifer, may result in pop-ups. The rock would break, the water would rise to fill the quarry and our wells would be empty in a flash! They may not give Miller a Permit To Take Water, (PTTW), which they need to quarry! It looks as though the Ontario government has come out loud and clear. There are great risks here; there are too many holes in the Miller studies; we are not happy. So why are the planner and some councillors so eager to vote for an expansion and industrialization that the whole community is against, that would put the most vulnerable in our community at risk for their health, and have many negative impacts on the whole township? Why indeed? Mike Battiston Braeside

Allowing housing around quarry flies in face of expansion plans To the Editor: I attended the Monday night meeting (June 3) in the fire hall at McNab-Braeside to hear what the MNR, MoE and Bruce Howarth, of Renfrew County Planning had to report for our community in Sandpoint. After reading the article in the June 6 edition of the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, I would like to respond to some of Bruce Howarth’s comments, as well as to some of the content of the article. On page one, EMC news reports that the Miller proposal is for a temporary asphalt plant. This is incorrect. Miller is looking to install a permanent plant that could operate on the high ridge over Sandpoint for over 30 years. As for Mr. Howarth’s comments, let’s start with his assertion that the quarry pre-dates the

settlement around the quarry. This area was settled in the 1860s and the Arnprior Golf Course was established in 1924. Therefore, the community was well established before the quarry began taking a bit of gravel. This established the area as a settlement first. So, it is understandable that people wanted to build homes here and still do. The asphalt plant and Class 3 industrial zoning will change this forever. Mr. Howarth also states that “ribbon development is now frowned upon.” What he weakly means here is that under the Provincial Policy Statement and the G6 Guidelines it is important to not allow sensitive land uses to develop near an aggregate resource, as these two uses do not work together. Mainly because there are far too many conflicts and the province needs

to get at its aggregate. So why may I ask would Renfrew County Planning, the township and the developer allow an expensive subdivision to be built within 500 meters of the quarry? Let me quote a passage from the D6 Guideline that Mr. Howarth references as part of his job: “The objective of the D6 Guideline is to prevent or minimize the encroachment of sensitive land use (us) upon industrial land use (the quarry which has not been zoned as Class 3 industrial yet) and visa versa, as these two types of land uses are normally incompatible, due to possible adverse effects on sensitive land use (us) created by industrial operations.” This was taken from page one of the D6 Guideline. I think that pretty much spells out what should been done in this case. This all sounds like bad planning to me, on

the part of Renfrew County Planning. Mr. Howarth also suggests that “the two time periods (of development 1978 and 1984) predate the Provincial Policy Statement and the Official Plan.” He does not include the 2000 era development of homes in the new subdivisions. So, what he is saying here is, well we didn’t have these standards until recently and as planners we couldn’t have seen this as a problem. But now that we know that developing around a quarry is a bad idea, we’ll still allow people to unknowingly develop around a future problem. He also asserts that since the people living in the subdivisions are 500 meters away from the quarry, that they are outside the province’s minimum separation distance requirements. Tell this to my real estate broker, MPAC and my well, Bruce. They don’t seem to listen to the minimum provincial standards. See Township, Page 10

LETTERS Township should warn new home owners, builders Continued from Page 9

When you consider that urban planning has been around since 1924, as the first zoning bylaw in Canada was in Kitchener, Ontario, although nuisance acts preventing noxious industries such as tanneries, coal gas plants or liveries in residential areas dates back to the late 19th century with early public health initiatives, you would think that some careful planning was required to ensure the public’s safety and property value would have been a stronger consideration. I think it’s also important to quote Council’s statement in their Official Plan: “it will be the policy of Council to discourage incompatible land uses in areas surrounding Mineral Aggregate areas by careful review of any severance application, rezoning application or other development proposal with the MNR and MOE and by including separation distances in the implementing by-law.” They did use the word “discourage” didn’t they?

I wonder if there will be any discouraging of the company looking to build some 45 new lots at the end of the River View Estates at the end of Ridgeview Drive? I did also notice, that there was no mention of the G6 guideline statement found under the heading of ‘Environmental Warnings for Sensitive Land Uses’, which states: “when the new development is sensitive (us), the ministry recommends that a warning of anticipated nuisance effects be included in any offers of purchase or sale. A means of notifying ensuing purchasers should be determined by the local municipality.” I was not aware that as a new home owner or builder in McNab-Braeside, that we should have been warned by the township before purchasing property or housing, of possible nuisance effects? I am pretty sure the township isn’t aware of this either.

Yanofsky’s I Believe the ‘real’ Olympic song To the Editor: I am writing in response to John Carter’s front page story in this week’s paper (June 6 Chronicle-Guide) about Priorpalooza. You mention therein that Arnprior has some terrific musical talent. Too bad that talent does not extent to the reporting community. Obviously you know nothing of your subject matter and even worse did not take even a few minutes to investigate it. To say that the Priorpalooza event highlighter Suzie McNeil is best known for her Olympic song ‘Believe’ is as much of a gross indecency as a Tom Green comedy sketch. Suzie McNeil does in fact have a song called ‘Believe’ but it is NOT the “real” Olympic song ‘I Believe’ sung by Montreal jazz sensation and artist Nikki Yanofsky. Nikki sprung to international jazz stardom after singing to over 100,000 at the Montreal Jazz festival when she was only 12 years old, singing various Ella Fitzgerald-type jazz standards. She sang the national anthem at the Olympics opening and closing ceremonies and rose to prominence with what became the signature song of the Vancouver games, ‘I Believe’. She is now 19 and works with legends such as Quincy Jones and

Editor’s note: There are two songs with Believe in the title linked to the Vancouver Olympic Games. McNeil’s first single, ‘Believe’ was used was used to raise funds for Own the Podium at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Granted, the ‘I believe’ song, performed at the opening ceremonies by Nikki Yanofsky, is probably better known. But McNeil’s is common knowledge too.

ture Society, its President Jeff Desarmia and executive for listening to us, and agreeing to support the farmers market this year. Zoning issues have plagued the farmers market since its move from downtown, making finding a good location a real challenge. Thanks to the Agriculture Society we have not only been provided with a longer term secure and beautiful location at the fairgrounds with opportunity to grow, but also a partner who understands the concept of local food and shares a mandate to support local agriculture.

We are looking forward to working with the Agriculture Society this year and in the future to support local farmers. Without the Agriculture Society’s support there might not be a market this year. Finally we want to thank the community of Arnprior for coming out Saturday mornings and supporting the market. We see many regular customers and we pledge to work hard to provide local products and increase the diversity of products available. Mark and Sandra Gaetz Arnprior Farmers Market

MNR objections should be dealt with before quarry decision To the Editor: The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) has released a “notice of objection” that identifies a number of very important issues that must be addressed by Miller Paving before its proposed development on the Braeside Ridge could be acceptable. These issues include: • An unevaluated wetland (an evaluation study is required); • Significant wildlife and woodland habitat; • Deer yard; • Rare vegetation communities (alvar); • Hydrogeology and surface water; • Fish habitat (potential downstream effects). Keep in mind that this is a formal objection to the Aggregate Resources Act application for

development of the site, and the objection was filed by government experts. The OMNR is certainly impartial in this matter, and it has strong expertise in this area. Its analysis, paid for by you and me the taxpayers, is a valuable service that must be respected and appreciated. If the natural resource issues can’t be fully resolved, the development should not proceed. The Township Council must require that Miller address all of the OMNR issues before the Council considers approving any further development at the site. For the Council not to do this would be very irresponsible. Gregg Sheehy McNab-Braeside

Teen continues to speak out on quarry Council: Why is MNR refusing license to Miller?

SUBMITTED

McNab-Braeside teenager Traleena Rouleau, who opposes the proposal to expand operations and add an asphalt plant at the Braeside Quarry, tapes her mouth shut to drive home her contention that township council has not given youth a proper chance to express their views.

Correction to June 6 story In last week’s Arnprior Chronicle-Guide story ‘Provisional yes for quarry,’ it inadvertently referred to the Miller Group’s proposal to put a temporary asphalt plant

at their Braeside quarry location. In fact, the proposal is to add a permanent asphalt plant to the location. The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the error.

Capital transfer and lands among Algonquin issues Robert Potts

EMC lifestyle - As the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) continue to work toward a modern day treaty, they look forward to a bright future of self-sufficiency, economic stability, and opportunities for current and future generations. Key elements of the current Preliminary Draft Agreement-in-Principle (AIP), released on December 13, 2012 by the AOO, Ontario and Canada, include a capital transfer and land component. These elements are essential to build a long-term sustainable future for the Algonquin people, and respond to present day social, cultural and economic needs. The Preliminary Draft AIP states that Canada and Ontario will transfer $300 million to one or more Algonquin Institutions, which will be Trusts established for the benefit of the Algonquin beneficiaries. These funds will be transferred in three payments over a twoyear period starting on the Effective Date of the Final Agreement. Income generated from the capital transfer will

ROBERT POTTS make a real and positive difference in the cultural and societal fabric of the Algonquin people by removing barriers for the creation of economic opportunities and social support programs. These funds will also lay a foundation for a rewarding and vibrant future for Algonquin youth by increasing employment opportunities and access to education and training. The Algonquin institutions that will receive, manage and invest this capital will be transparent and accountable to all Algonquin beneficiaries. The AOO will develop the governance structure, mandates and powers of these Institutions to ensure the most effective protection

of all beneficiaries’ interests. Land has been critical to the way of life for the Algonquins and will play an important role in the cultural recognition and future economic sustainability of the AOO. The Preliminary Draft AIP establishes that Ontario will transfer not less than 117,500 acres of Provincial Crown Land to one or more Algonquin Institutions. This lands package consists of more than 200 parcels of land ranging in size from a few acres to more than 30,000 acres. The AOO’s proposed land selections were each chosen for the following purposes: (a) Historical/Spiritual (b) Community Recreation and Environmental Protection (c) Economic Development, Resources, Tourist Commercial (d) Future Institutional, Residential, Industrial Development The Provincial Crown Land in the Settlement Area is 3.3 million acres. Nearly 2 million acres constitutes Provincial Parks, including Algonquin Park (1.8 million acres), where

the AOO will have extensive management planning input. This leaves approximately 1.3 million acres of Provincial Crown Land to be considered for AOO land selections. The proposed lands package comprises approximately 4% of the Provincial Crown Land in the land claim Settlement Area. Through the transfer of this land, existing access to cottages, private properties, or navigable waterways will not be lost or compromised, and no new First Nation reserves will be created. A Treaty will provide economic development opportunities that will not only benefit the AOO, but will also provide a tremendous benefit to our neighbours living within Eastern Ontario. This column is the second in a series providing insights into Algonquin history, the foundation for the land claim, elements of the Preliminary Draft AIP and next steps in the journey. The next column will focus on the Parks and Protected Areas component of the Preliminary Draft AIP. For more information visit tanakiwin.com.

To the Editor: As you may know, the Township of McNab-Braeside has been struggling with the process of determining whether to allow the expansion and industrialization of the Miller Braeside Quarry. That requires a zoning change and an Official Plan amendment, which will start the development phase for Miller. Miller studies have been reviewed by a peer process and council has been studying the Miller reports. What you may not realize is that there is a parallel process that Miller has to go through with MNR to obtain their license to mine aggregate under the Aggregate Resources Act. MNR has their own experts: ecologists, biologists, hydrogeologists, forestry and Species at Risk specialists as well as aggregate specialists. So these people have had a chance to review the Miller studies just as the Township peer reviewers did. Their comments were due on May 27. Because a few of us met with MNR last week in Pembroke, Rick Watchorn, district manager, gave us a copy of their letter to Miller. Do I have your attention yet? MNR refused Miller their aggregate license. Not only did they refuse it, they had 25 pages of reasons for doing so. Let me give you a taste of the highlights. • All wetlands on and adjacent to the quarry property have not been properly identified. “There is a good likelihood that an evaluation of the wetland complex could result in a Provincially Significant status.” This wetland classification could shut the

quarry down. • Significant woodlands have not been properly identified. • Significant Wildlife Habitat district ecologist Daryl Coulson had many questions and concerns. • An important deer yard will be reduced in size; the Miller studies did not analyze impact of the quarry and asphalt plant or provide adequate protection for the deer. • Miller studies say there are no endangered species on the subject lands, but they did not list ones they looked for or document any efforts to find them. • MNR hydrogeologist Oleg Ivanov had five and a half pages of important errors and omissions focussing only on wetlands and surface water features. They didn’t pull any punches with their comments either. When Miller is pretending to protect the alvar, the ecologist’s comment is ‘(Miller has) a predetermined intent to extract everything, framed in a planning process giving false perceptions’. Perhaps it is because of planner Bruce Howarth’s inexperience that he has missed all these essential components MNR found omitted in the Miller studies. Perhaps it is just his inexperience that his planning report to council urges them to vote yes to the Miller expansion and industrialization of the Braeside Quarry, when the Government of Ontario has quite obviously said no. Check this website to read the review yourself: www.fact-mb.org. Norma Moore, Braeside

R0012156394

EMC news - McNab-Braeside teenager Traleena Rouleau believes so strongly that it is township council’s responsibility to make decisions with future generations in mind. The Arnprior District High School student who has been a vocal opponent of the “industrialization” of the Braeside Quarry is continuing to plead with council to hear the voice of the community’s youth on the issue. She has spoken at the public meeting into the Miller quarry application and presented council with a petition against the proposal, although she wasn’t allowed to do it at a planning advisory committee meeting. She has also dropped off to each council member a copy of a video showcasing concerns of area youth and a copy of the book, Horton Hears a Who, to represent the voice of the children (now and in the future) who she maintains “have no voice in this decision.: Her note asks council to be their ‘Horton’ and protect youth, because “after all, a person’s a person, no matter how small.” Perhaps council will listen to the message offered in the children’s picture book, she added.

Nature’s Crickets reveal Way their presence with strident proclamations, other animals roam the night in complete silence. Bats sweep the air with ultrasonic beams, searching for something edible to catch. And myriad moths flutter through the dark, searching for something quite different. There are many hundreds of species of moths living in our area. While a few do fly in the daytime (including the Clearwing Moths that hover like little hummingbirds at flowers), most wait for sundown before they take flight. Some we see illuminated by the headlamps of our cars, but many others we find clinging to our window screens, attracted by the houselights. Nocturnal moths come in all shapes, colours, and sizes, but at this time of year a particularly beautiful group is active. Those possess more than striking good looks; several local species are giants among moths. The largest are the Giant Silk Moths (family Saturniidae, subfamily Saturniinae). One of the most famous of these is the Luna, a giant green moth with long flowing tails. While not rare in our area, the Luna’s late night activity makes it difficult to see. More commonly encountered are Polyphemus, which has huge false eyes to frighten potential attackers, and Cecropias, red-brown giants with hooked markings on their wings. One of these beauties was recently reported from White Lake. Giant Silk Moths are most unusual animals. As adult moths they have no mouthparts so they live for only a week or two at most. The caterpillars take a full year to develop, spending the winter in large silk cases sometimes found hanging from shrubs in swampy sites. As adult moths, Giant Silk Moths

The huge eyespots of a Polyphemus serve to frighten away potential predators.

Cecropia males track down scent-releasing females from several kilometres away. have only purpose: they live to find mates and lay eggs. Males possess massive, branched antennae (those of females are narrow) that are equipped with millions of sensors for detecting the special love perfumes (pheromones) produced by females. As soon they emerge from their winter cocoons, females begin releasing their love potions in long plumes into the air. Using their super sniffers, males detect these perfumes (properly known as pheromones) from as far as several kilometres away! They fly in special meandering paths, searching for an increasing density of molecules. Once the correct

direction is determined, they follow the trail right to the waiting female. Often several males arrive and a shoving match ensues, with the strongest winning access to the female. Many moths use pheromones for mate attraction. With hundreds of species active locally, perhaps it is fortunate that we cannot smell the love potions. For if we could, it might be a mind-blowing event! If you want to learn more about these creatures of mystery, an excellent book is Peterson’s Field Guide to Moths (Beadle and Leckie).

Scottish Festival: from modern-day bards to box picnics Heather Lang

McNab Days Festival

EMC events – If you attend this year’s Scottish Festival - and why wouldn’t you, because there is so much to offer in one jam-packed day - you get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to vote for the township’s modern-day bard. Or, maybe you can put pen to paper or drum up a song and enter the competition to become our bard. Historically, Celtic peoples - we’re talking Scots, Irish, Welsh, Britons, Basque, Manx, and so on - relied on oral rather than written traditions. Bards were men and women educated in maintaining the oral “memory” of their people. They were divided into seven groups depending on their training: some were versed in the law, healing and religion; others (among the most popular) were those who told stories either through long poems called odes or through song. Bards were the most famous entertainers, highly respected and frequently wealthy in Scottish society. They were the historians, holding the memory of their people and keeping their tra-

ditions alive. We’re holding a competition to choose who will be the Bard of McNabBraeside Township. You’ll not only get bragging rights, but a $100 prize for the best original story, poem or song based on a historical person and/or event from McNabBraeside. The competition is open to any age group. Your entry can be: • a story between 500 and 2,000 words long, presented orally but submitted in writing for the judges to assess; • a poem 20 to 100 lines long; or • a song at least four to 10 verses in length. The judges are Dai Basset, Trish English and Ron Moores. Auditions will be held Saturday, June 15, at which time

nine finalists — three in each category — will be chosen. The final competition takes place about 5 p.m. on the Waba Cottage grounds in White Lake on June 23, as part of the Scottish Festival. Registration is $10 for those aged 18 and up; kids and youth can participate for free. The Township of McNabBraeside reserves the right to retain copies of material submitted for reproduction. Are you the next bard of McNab/Braeside? Want to have a say in who will be? We’re counting on your participation.

The updated version for the McNab Days’ Scottish Festival will have 10 picnic tables available behind the museum. Ten celebrity cooks from throughout the township will prepare picnic/barbecue suppers for two to six people.

Menus (hopefully based on a theme) will be well advertised beforehand and then auctioned off at the conclusion of the pipe tattoo — roughly 4 p.m. with dinner at 5 p.m. See CULINARY, Page 15

BOX PICNIC AUCTION, SOCIAL

Another tradition was the Box Luncheon Social. Church and community picnics frequently featured an auction where noted cooks of the area, particularly young single women looking to advertise their culinary skills to young single men, would prepare a picnic basket or ‘box’. The opportunity to dine with the young woman and feast on her repast was provided to the highest bidder by the auctioneer.

WI celebrates 100 years Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC news - Women’s institutes are alive and well in McNab-Braeside Township. Irene Robillard of Renfrew South District Women’s Institutes spoke to council May 28 to outline the organization and explain it is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. She provided a brief history of the group and explained how the Tweedsmuir community histories the groups keep are a unique depiction of local history. “They’re a legacy of the WI,” said Robillard, “No two are identical and they reflect the co-ordinators style and creativity.” The WI is a not for profit, non-denominational, non-partisan charity with two Renfrew County districts – north and

south, said Robillard. At one time Renfrew south consisted of 22 branches, 11 of which were in the township. “Half of all branches in Renfrew south were actually in McNab,” said Robillard. Now there are only six branches, four in McNab-Braeside. To mark the anniversary, a website has been created and an oral history is being prepared. The WI is a founding partner of the Canada 150 project also, said Robillard, an endeavour aiming to collect 1.5 million stories from people across Canada and present them to the Governor General on July 1, 2017 when Canada celebrates its 150th birthday. SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND “It’s an honour to have you include us in your celebration,” said Mayor Mary Irene Robillard reports to McNab-Braeside Campbell. “You’re one of most important council about the 100th anniversary of Women’s Institutes. service clubs in our township.”

Get set to enjoy roller derby EMC sports - Roller derby has come to the Upper Ottawa Valley. A team that has been practicing in Arnprior throughout the winter will play its first game this Saturday, June 15 in Renfrew. While roller derby had all but faded away by the 1980s after becoming a form of sports entertainment, leagues have been emerging across North America since 2002 to breathe new life into this retrosport. A rumble has been echoing across Canada and in more and more community arenas each year, when the ice comes out, the derby girls roll in. Renfrew County answered the call in 2012, starting its own league. By day, the women of the Renfrew County Roller Derby (RCRD) can be found in their communities, working in hospitals, schools, courts, raising their kids, attending college. But two nights a week, they can all be found in one place – derby practice. Honing their speed, strategy and skill, RCRD calls the Beachburg and Ma-Te-Way arenas home in the summer months after training at the Kenwood Centre in the winter. This sport is growing fast and furious, with new women joining

the league all year long, and RCRD is gearing up for its most exciting challenge yet. After over a year of dedication in practice, RCRD is now ready to host its first game. On Saturday, RCRD will field its flagship team, the Valley Valkyries, in their first ever roller derby bout. You can cheer on Brawny Cash, Finn McMangle-Her and the other derby girls as they go head to head, hip to hip and wheel to wheel with their first opponents: the Wagon Burners from Khanawake. The game starts at 7 p.m. at MaTe-Way Activity Centre in Renfrew. Tickets cost $8 in advance, $10 at the door, and children aged 12 and under are free. Doors open at 6 p.m. You can check out RCRD merchandise, visit local sponsors and soak in the atmosphere before sitting down to experience roller derby live. To get closer to the action (as long as you are 16 or older), bring a camp chair and claim your space in the Suicide Seats trackside. This is a family-friendly event. RCRD will proudly divide the proceeds with the Women’s Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County.

Blues win home opener convincingly Vinnie Jones

EMC sports - The Arnprior Blues struck for a 5-0 win over the Almonte Wild Cats in their Ottawa Carleton Soccer League home opener June 7 at Dochart Park. Conditions were wet, which wreaked havoc with ball control, and it didn’t take long for the Blues to strike. After a couple of defensive mistakes and the Almonte goaltender fumbling the ball, Zak Butterly found himself with an open net and buried the first goal for Arnprior. The Blues then displayed some good ball movement through mid-field by Jeff O’Brien, Cory Kruger, Mark Shea, Kevin Bentz, Keith Rigby and Gordie Millar with the ball eventually getting to Butterly up front. He beat two Wild Cat defenders and put home a second goal. Late in the half, Arnprior defender Sean Debeau took a long free kick that sailed deep into the Almonte end and Butterly got to it before anyone else and pushed it past the Wild Cat keeper to complete the hat trick and the first half. Almonte came out fired up after the break, but on the strength of superior defensive efforts by Sam Grant, Peter Cadman, Dan Eames, Tony Veale and Debeau, Arnprior weathered the storm. Before long the Blues applied pressure of their own earning a corner kick. Butterly turned provider, crossing the ball into the visitor’s penalty area where Eames got above the rest to knock down a header into the goal for the ‘Priors fourth tally. Butterly continued to assist with a cheeky pass between the Wild Cat defensive line to

Arnprior Blues midfielder Gordie Millar wins the battle for the ball. Kruger who outpaced everyone and smashed in a fifth goal for Arnprior to cap off the night. The Blues stayed strong defensively for the rest of the match to win 5-nil. Bruce Hartill earned the clean sheet in goal for the Blues, making some key saves throughout the match. This was a welcome three points after Arnprior suffered a 3-1 loss in their first match away to a recently relegated Gloucester squad on May 31 at the Hornets Nest in Ottawa. Greg Lunn scored the lone goal for the ‘Prior side mid-way through the second half, capitalizing on a poor pass back to the Hornets goalie. Unfortunately, the Blues were unable to hold the lead and ran out of steam in the humidity, giving up three late goals.

Book tree officially open EMC news - Officials and members of the public gathered June 5 to officially open Arnprior’s book tree, one of the first in Renfrew County and across Canada. Made by Calabogie Rustic Furniture, the tree, located beside the Arnprior Public Library, holds books that individuals can borrow, as well as offers an opportunity to donate a book

that someone else might enjoy. An online system helps track the books - a unique feature that allows readers to see just where their book travels. The Best Start Network sponsored the Renfrew County book trees. “We’re very lucky to have it here,” said Arnprior Parks and Recreation youth co-ordinator Kayla Menkhorst.

GO! to the Library for reading adventures Karen DeLuca Arnprior Public Library

EMC lifestyle - Get your passport and GO! at the Arnprior Public Library this summer. Registration for our summer programs is underway and we are planning an action-packed itinerary of travel related adventure. The TD Summer Reading Club theme of GO! has provided inspiration for programs that will take us from the murky depths of the ocean to far-flung galaxies in outer space. Programs are being offered Monday through Thursday in both the morning and afternoon. A French Story Time is taking place on the evening of July 17 and a Stuffies’ Slumber Story Time is taking place on the evening of July 24. Children are able to leave their stuffies at the library for a sleepover, and then follow their antics on-line from home. Other story times include Walk the Plank, Fasten Your Seatbelt, Safari Beat and Ice-

An Arnprior Lions Club barbecue Saturday helped launch the library’s new fundraising initiative to buy moveable shelving for its main level. As the Lions cook up the food behind, at right in front, Larry Pouliot, the first donor to ‘adopt-a-shelf’, presents a contribution to Lions club board member Susan Kirk, left, and Lions member Karen DeLuca.

berg Ahead. Expect great stories, crafts, games and activities. In addition to our Monday to Thursday programs, which require advanced registration, our Friday morning drop-in story times will resume on July 5 and continue until Aug. 16. Children are encouraged to keep reading over the summer months by participating in our TD Summer Reading Club. As books are logged, children reach targets such as an invi-

tation to our Magic Show featuring Elliot Smith, nameplate recognition in a book of their choice and an invitation to our Super Reader Party at the Arnprior Airport. The Children’s Department extends a huge thank you to the Arnprior Rotary Club and the Arnprior Optimists for their generous support of our summer programs. Follow the library on Facebook and Twitter for daily updates on news and events at your library.

Turning a new leaf with a book tree Arnprior Mayor David Reid puts the first book in the book tree that has been placed in Bell Park between the Arnprior Public Library and the Madawaska River. The book tree encourages people to read, especially children. The tree has received its first 100 books, with that number expected to top 500 eventually.

Taking part in the awarding of an apprenticeship to Arnprior District High School student Cody Moore, from left, are ADHS co-op program co-ordinator Shirley Stevenson, Troy Murdoch of T. Murdoch Construction, Moore’s grandfather Ian McMaster, Moore, Moore’s mother Patty Moore and Pamela Duplessis from the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program.

ADHS student earns carpentry apprenticeship Sydney Ross Co-op Student

EMC news - Co-op students at Arnprior District High School have opportunities to apply for apprenticeships prior to moving on to postsecondary education. Grade 12 student Cody Moore has earned an apprenticeship at his current co-op placement at Troy Murdoch Construction in Castleford. Out of about 12 previous co-op students at the company, Moore is the ďŹ rst to earn an apprenticeship.

This is also Moore’s fourth semester with Troy Murdoch Construction. “He’s a decent student – very good construction worker,â€? said Murdoch. Moore has been interested in carpentry from a young age. At 5, he would often help his grandfather, Ian McMaster, with building a cottage. The cottage, located in Chapeau east of Pembroke, was ďŹ nished within a summer. “(I’m) very proud of him. I’m delighted to see how well he is doing,â€? McMaster commented.

“He’s not stumbling around; he knows (what he wants to do).� Moore will need to accumulate more than 2,000 working hours before heading into post-secondary education. He has already begun gathering that time by earning his hours through the co-op program. Moore’s apprenticeship was presented by Pamela Duplessis from the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP). According to Murdoch, Moore has a very good chance of being hired on his team after completing post-secondary education.

EMC news - An educator wellknown in local technology, apprenticeship and co-op education circles has received a major provincial award. Renfrew County District School Board technological subject council chair Terry Hoelke was recently honoured by his peers with the Ontario Council for Technology Education’s (OCTE) Technological Education Leadership Award. Hoelke was presented with the award at the OCTE Conference last month in front of 600 of his peers. “I’m still in shock over it,â€? Hoelke said recently. “I didn’t realize the teachers thought so much of what I do – I didn’t expect this. It just shows what great people I work with.â€? Hoelke was nominated for the award by fellow co-worker RCDSB health and safety ofďŹ cer Shane Halliday. “When I look at what Terry Hoelke has accomplished within Renfrew County District School Board technological education programs, I see a great leader,â€? Halliday wrote in his nomination letter. “We at RCDSB have a world-class technology educational programs and teachers. Thanks to Terry’s hard work and dedication, many students have greatly ourished into the trades’ job markets and have been very successful. Terry Hoelke is a true leader who does so by example in everything he does and truly deserves the Technological Education Leadership Award.â€?

JAKE DAVIES

Renfrew County public school board technological subject council chair Terry Hoelke with his award. Holke was a technology teacher for 18 years with the board before becoming the council chair. Halliday says Hoelke’s leadership has improved working conditions and created engaging creative programs for students and teachers across the board. “The health and safety knowledge and skills these students are learning from Terry today will beneďŹ t them down the road no matter what trade they choose,â€? Halliday said.

Seniors Agency introduces ‘Angels in Grey’ magazine Liz Wall Seniors at Home

EMC lifestyle – Last week Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program (ABMSHP) launched its second Yellow Envelope mail-out to help ‘Keep the Wheels Turning’ on the Para Transit Care Coach. And now we would like to introduce you to ‘Angels in Grey’, our first magazine publication. “I did not know that about him.� Or, “She did so much for others. I wish I had known.� These are words I have spoken many a time and you likely have too. Words said during or immediately after attending the wake or funeral for an acquaintance, a friend or a loved one. I personally have always loved the human interest side of folks and now I am very happy, on behalf of Seniors at Home, to be able to share this passion with you, and at the same time raise funds to assist the annual Dare to Care Campaign of ‘Keep the Wheels Turning’ that commenced June 6. It is important to share in the lives LIZ WALL/SUBMITTED of those who served their country Patricia Monaghan of Dunrobin is congratulated by Dennis Harrington, during war time or to learn how the executive director of the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home elderly have given so much and many Program, as the 10,000th client requiring transportation by the Para people continue to do so well into Transit Care Coach. Her ride was made on April 13. their 80s. The ‘human interest’ side

EMC lifestyle - The Arnprior Villa appreciates the Care Coach. It has been a “valuable service for our residents at Arnprior Villa,� said executive director Darren Talbot. “Always reliable, friendly, careful and considerate, the Care Coach program continues to be an essential service for our residents and community. Thank you for all that you do.� Donors please make your cheque payable to ‘ABM Seniors at Home’. Credit card donations can be made by calling 613-622-CARE (2273) 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. Seniors at Home thank those who have already made their donation. At the time of this press release (only one day in), $4,195 has been raised. Last year it raised $30,000 with a similar goal for 2013. “Thank you, all.�

so many others. Also included is the story of how one person’s tragedy became a life saver for others. There is an interesting account of how one individual faced all of life’s decisions head-on, right until the end. There is so much to tell and we are very honoured to share these stores with you. Angels in Grey works in two ways. One is to bring you these life stories. The second is to raise funds for a new Para Transit vehicle for Seniors at Home. Our Para Transit Care Coach is the only specialized transportation service for persons of all ages in Arnprior and McNab-Braeside and the operation relies totally on local fundraising. Your ‘Yellow Envelope’ has likely arrived in your mail box by time you have read this article. Don’t forget to ‘Keep the Wheels Turning’ by making a donation by using the Yellow Envelope as your return envelope. We are taking pre-orders for Angels in Grey. If interested, you can either call the office (613-623-7981) and have your name added to the list or drop by at 106 McGonigal St. West, Unit 1, Arnprior. The first copies are due to be available July. Any questions can be directed to me, Liz Wall, development co-ordinator, at 613-623-7981, ext. 25.

Arrival of ice box like Christmas time

EMC lifestyle – Until that fateful day in the middle of summer, Mother had no choice but to keep the perishables on a swinging shelf in the dug-out under the house. It was a dank and frightening place, and could only be entered from the outside. There was no trap-door in the kitchen like Aunt Bertha had on the next farm. Two big doors tilted against the house, and they had to be lifted to gain entry. It was a place I hated with a passion, and Mother too never quite got used to putting butter and milk on the swinging shelf. Blocks of ice were put in big tubs down in the dugout in the hope that what Mother put down there would be kept chilled enough that we all wouldn’t die from food poisoning. Of course when the ice melted, the big tubs had to be hauled up and emptied a job for my big strapping brothers. But it was Grandfather who changed all that one day when he came out from Ottawa and ordered Father to hitch up the wagon and head into Renfrew. Of course, Grandfather had no intention of riding all the way into Renfrew sitting on a rickety seat on a wagon. He drove ahead in his rumble seat car and told Father where to meet him. Everett went with Father to help. The purpose of his trip into town was to buy Mother a brand new Barnett ice box! “Uncivilized! That’s what it is!” he said time and again on his regular visits to the farm, and when one of us kids was sent down into the dug-out to bring up milk or butter, or anything else that Mother hoped would keep fresh long enough so that we could eat it. We always had had an ice house, and it was always full of blocks of ice, but never until that wonderful day, did we have an ice box to put the blocks in!

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Mother spent the entire morning trying to come up with a decent place to put the ice box in the kitchen. It had to be well away from the Findlay Oval, of course. And it couldn’t sit in the window looking out into the grape arbour ... that’s where the old pine table sat and where we had our meals. Finally, without even knowing what it would look like, or what size it was, Mother decided it would go catty corner next to the little room off the kitchen that served as Mother and Father’s bedroom. So that place was scrubbed by Audrey, wiped dry, and newspapers laid out covering the entire corner.

sat on the back stoop waiting for its arrival, and Audrey and I perched on the pump stoop. Grandfather brought out a kitchen chair to the yard. He wouldn’t sit on anything that wasn’t spotlessly clean in case he got a mark on his white flannel pants! It was like we were waiting for the Queen to arrive! And then we saw the wagon round the corner at the far end of the lane, and as it got closer we could see Everett standing with his arms wrapped around what liked like a casket standing on its end. Father pulled the wagon up close to the kitchen door. “My oh my,” Mother said, not even waiting until it was loaded off onto the ground. BRING ON THE ICE

R0012156306

She leaned into the wagon and rubbed her hands all over the new ice box like it was made of gold! It took the three brothers and Father to lift it off the wagon, with Grandfather telling them to be careful and not scratch it. It was shiny wood, the colour of caramel candy, with silver handles, and I thought was grand enough that it could easily have sat in the parlour. Without even being told, Everett tore to the DRESSING UP FOR THE ARRIVAL ice house, and using the big black iron tongs, hauled a block of ice into the house. For reasons unknown to me at the time, Mother made all of It was beastly hot in the kitchen with the Findlay Oval pumpus change from play clothes into our next-to-Sunday best … ing out heat, and I secretly wondered if the ice box would cool was it because we were getting an ice box? Or was it because off the whole house. Grandfather would be there for a visit? Emerson swung open the little door on the side, and Everett At any rate, we were spit-clean when Grandfather drove back plopped in the block of ice. into the yard, and said the new ice box would be here as soon as Audrey and I were sent down to the dugout for all the perishFather could get back from Renfrew. ables, and Mother arranged it all in the ice box like she was layMother, in a clean Dan River dress and a fresh white apron, ing out blocks for a quilt. Grandfather had thought of everything. While in Renfrew he bought an exact duplicate of our white granite PROUDLY CANADIAN dish pan, and he slid it under the ice box to catch Arnprior Location the drip. We sat around the ice box on kitchen chairs, as if waiting for it to tell us something. It sure looked mighty nice in the corner, and I could tell Mother was as proud as if someone had bought her a new car! What a change the new ice box 375 Daniel Street South, Arnprior 236 MADAWASKA BLVD., ARNPRIOR brought to our old log house. Now we had it as well as a telephone, thanks to Uncle Lou. Emerson wondered what we had to do to get running water, and I longed for the day we could just push up a switch and a light would go on just like at my little friend Joyce’s house. Sadly, water from a tap, and light from a bulb were not to be. Both would have to wait until the day we left the farm many 80 ELGIN ST. W, ARNPRIOR 60 STAYE COURT DR, ARNPRIOR years away.

EMC lifestyle - Walking into the first of Bob Mitchell’s several sprawling greenhouses, the sweet, earthy smell of ripening tomatoes takes over your senses. For a brief moment, it’s just you and the fruit. You’re filled with a sense of hominess, of nostalgia for your grandmother, or the proud memory of the first vegetable you ever nurtured. When you come back to reality, you start to look around and you can hardly believe your eyes. Row upon row of leafy tomato plants climb toward the soft, filtered light coming in from above. The greenhouse seems to stretch on forever. Little technology gets in the way of nature’s beauty; the stems grow from plasticsheathed blocks of crushed coconut in raised troughs and are clipped to small rods above. Small pipes wind along the floor, masked by green tangles of sagging vines. Every so often a bumblebee lazes by, off to pollinate another plant or return to one of the hives placed throughout the greenhouse. Mitchell, the owner and founder of SunTech Greenhouses, on Doyle Road south of Manotick, somehow fits

into the greenhouse ecosystem, despite a brusque manner and a penchant for loud exclamations. The lifelong farmer moved to a dairy and cash crop farm south of Kenmore when he was six, which he farmed with his family until 1998. And then he entered a greenhouse for the first time in his life. “The smell, that was what hooked me,” he said. From that visit in September 1998, it took 11 months for Mitchell to buy the Doyle Road property, set up a greenhouse that covers a hectare, and plant 22,000 beefsteak tomato plants. “Just a starter kit,” Mitchell laughed. Today, the farm has 1.6 hectares of greenhouse facilities and produces 11 different commercial products. That includes several tomato varieties as well as eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and green beans. NATURE’S WAY

While SunTech certainly doesn’t profess to be organic or pesticide free, it makes use of what nature has to offer. A common greenhouse pest is the white fly, a tiny white bug that can multiply into the billions. As they drink the juices from the plants, they

excrete everywhere – and that can prevent the plants from getting the sunlight they need. But instead of spraying plants with chemicals, Mitchell brings in 40,000 encarsia formosa, a tiny parasitic wasp that lays its eggs in white fly eggs – essentially stopping the reproduction cycle. “You don’t pay them by the hour and they don’t miss,” Mitchell said. Bumblebees are another important part of the greenhouse ecosystem. Brought in from Windsor, Ont., Mitchell’s bees are relied upon to pollinate the tomatoes. The number of bees loose in the greenhouse directly correlates to the number of open flowers, Mitchell said. There are usually two or three bee stings a year, he said, but as the chief bee handler he has managed to escape a sting for nearly 14 years. Of course, the whole point of a greenhouse is to get around Mother Nature’s whims, and SunTech employs a complex computer system to monitor the indoor and outdoor temperatures and adjust the roof vents accordingly. The average daily temperature inside is about 19 degrees, Mitchell said, and they can harvest about 10 months of the year.

Florida, Costa Rica and Nicaragua are destinations for zip line enthusiasts. But you won’t have to travel that far for exhilarating zip line experiences, which are growing in popularity in North America. Ownership of Logos Land Resort, just outside Cobden, is hoping a signiďŹ cant investment in its new three-leg, zip line course will bring smiles and goose bumps to many more of its customers in coming years. Challenges Unlimited Inc. is completing construction and installation of a parallel zip line course over Astrolabe Lake this month. The course warms up nicely, with the ďŹ rst zip carrying visitors 201 metres across a small bay. Zip No. 2 runs 343 metres across the middle of the lake, before the ďŹ nal 401-metre leg returns buckled-in riders back above the water. The total ride is 3,100 feet, or almost one kilometre, at speeds of up to 35 km/h, usually six metres above the water, but sometimes closer to 25. Logos Land owner Jerrold Paxton’s business partner, Kevin Cahill, died last December, but not the dream to continue to improve on what Logos Land offers its customers. Facilities already in place include the water park, with its slide, splash pad, grill house, mini-golf, animal petting farm, beach and giant lake trampolines. There are also timeshare villas, motel suites, 90 recreational vehicle (RV) park and camp sites, rental RVs, 100 wilderness camp sites for trailers or tenters, and the neighbouring Oaks of Cobden golf course.

“We have four goals in mind,â€? says Logos Land director of marketing and sales Fred Glover. The ďŹ rst goal is to offer something, like the zip line course, that caters more to older youngsters. “We’ve made investments in recent years for the little kids, like the petting farm and the splash pad,â€? says Glover. “But for older kids, as families grow up, you don’t want them to hit the boredom curve.â€? The same philosophy applies to younger adults. The connection of the zip line for these potential customers also happens to coincide with the ideal weight for zip line passengers. The weight allowance runs from 75 to about 275 pounds. The second marketing goal, says Glover, is to expand Logos Land’s season, which for the longest time has been concentrated in July and August. “The zip line can be used year-round, but more practically it will certainly run in the summer, as well as in the spring and fall.â€? Logos Land has already experienced positives vibes about the new course. For example, response at the recent Ottawa RV Show, which attracts more than 20,000 visitors, was extremely positive. “Our big posters stopped them,â€? says Glover. “It surprised us, especially the positive verbal feedback from 40-, 50- and 60-year-olds. But we’ll see for sure this summer.â€? Glover acknowledges there’s another zip line, at Chutes Coulonge, while pointing out that Logos Land Resort aspires to become a growing part of multi-activity tourist packages in the area, thus Logos Land’s third

marketing goal. For example, there’s no reason tourists can’t zip over Astrolabe Lake, play golf rounds at a variety of courses in the area, see the Bonnechere Caves, zip some more in Chutes Coulonge and try some whitewater rafting or kayaking. Unlike Logos Land, Chutes Coulonge offers two zip lines of 100 and 260 metres over whitewater rapids and a shorter nine-zip series. As Glover says, “Every zip line you see is different.â€?

Five simple tips before hitting the road EMC lifestyle - Summer getaways are common indulgence in Canada and for the more than four-in-ďŹ ve of us who own, lease or ďŹ nance a vehicle, exploring the Great White North often begins with the push of a pedal. Whether your plans include cross-country road trips or a weekend exodus to the cottage, here are a few tips to keep your vehicle looking and running its best on the open road: s +EEP IT CLEAN 3TARTING A road trip with a clean car is a must, but be eco-responsible. Always look for products that are designed to be tough on grease, bugs, mud and carbon deposits, while still being safe for the environment. s #HECK YOUR WHEELS -AKE sure tires are road-trip ready. For better handling and mileage, swap winter tires for summer ones, or all-season types. Check the pressure of the tires before you take off by consulting the owner’s manual or on the side of the tire. Properly inated tires improve grip on the road and

save money at the pump. s 4OP UP mUIDS .O ONE wants to be stuck on the side of the highway. Having proper levels of windshield washer uid, engine oil, radiator coolant and brake uid can make or break a road trip. Check the owner’s manual for the recommended uid levels. Remember overďŹ lling your uids can do just as much damage as not ďŹ lling up enough. s 'ET RID OF THE SALT !S THE temperatures rise, so does the rate of corrosion and after a full-season of battling snow and slush, the chemicals used to clear roads can eat away at a car’s body. +EEP YOUR CAR LOOKING AND running its best by getting a professional rust protection at least once a year. s 4AKE IT TO AN EXPERT 3TAY safe and avoid unforeseen expenses by following your car’s recommended maintenance schedule. See a professional to give you the green light for long-distance travel. newscanada.com

EMC news – The Progressive Conservatives continue to lag behind the minority-governing Ontario Liberals in the polls, even though a lengthy list of scandals and controversies keep piling up. The latest, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars spent to close two power plants, doesn’t seem to have boosted Tim Hudak’s party. But Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren isn’t ready to blame scandals caused by the federal Conservatives or right-wing Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. “All these little problems don’t add up to much,” MacLaren said. “If something went wrong, if rules were broken, people should be held responsible. If nothing went wrong, they should be exonerated and we’ll move on.” A spring election was averted with the passage of the Liberal budget, after the NDP secured a number of gains for their supporters. MacLaren said the next best chance for

dals affecting the party’s fortunes, and the Liberals staying in power despite their own, MacLaren didn’t seem to have any easy answers. “It’s bad for politics in general; it’s too bad these things are happening; but politicians are people and they make dumb mistakes,” he said. “How is it the NDP can bring themselves to support a government with that kind of track record? I find it disappointing as hell. We should be doing what’s right for the people of Ontario.” Since coming to power in 2003, the Liberals have racked up numerous scandals and controversies. Two of the biggies are: • Plans to construct gasfired power plants in an environmentally sensitive area of Mississauga, and another in Oakville, had residents up in arms in June 2011. After several weeks of continual protests during the height of an election, the Ontario Liberals cancelled the gas plants. See LIST Page 49

an election, something his party has indicated they want to see happen sooner rather than later, is in the fall or next spring. He disagrees with critics who say the PCs should have at least tried to work with the Liberals to win a few concessions in the budget. The Drummond Report and others advocate a small ‘c’ conservative approach that has been largely ignored by the Liberals, he said. “The Liberals don’t even follow their own reports,” said a frustrated MacLaren. As for the Liberals hanging onto power in the face of many controversies, MacLaren isn’t second-guessing the party’s current policies. Many observers have interpreted the PC’s desire for “flexible labour markets” as code for union busting; could it, along with other far right promises, be responsible for low support in the polls? “I don’t think so,” MacLaren said, pointing to an LCBO and OLG selloff as popular and centrist positions.

LIST OF SCANDALS

The Conservatives have accumulated numerous scandals and controversies since

HANDBOOK

• A handbook on how to disrupt parliamentary committees, which play a crucial role in checking a prime minister’s power, was handed to committee heads by the Conservative party. Harper’s promise to allow committees to select their own chairs was dropped and he ordered cabinet ministers’ staffers to not testify before committees. • Harper, during the coalition crisis of

2008, said the opposition leader does not have the right to take power without an election. It betrayed a lack of understanding about how the system works. • The Conservatives have significantly ramped up blocking measures where it comes to access to information. They have also suppressed research to an extent that they’ve openly challenged the idea that research, empirical evidence and erudition central to democracy. • Along with the questionable appointing of senators Duffy, Pamela Wallin, and Patrick Brazeau, the latter of whom faces assault and sexual assault charges, is Arthur Porter. Harper named him Security Intelligence Review Committee chairman in 2010. A year later he fled the country and was arrested in Panama on fraud charges. • Former Harper advisor Bruce Carson was accused of influence peddling. • The ethics and lobbying commissioners, along with others, are generally recognized more as lapdogs than watchdogs. • The ethics and lobbying commissioners, along with others, are generally recognized more as lapdogs than watchdogs. • Former defence minister Maxine Bernier resigned after forgetting classified documents at his girlfriend’s. She had ties to the Hell’s Angels. • Defence minister Peter MacKay added patronage appointments to the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and is now accused of trying to orchestrate a cover-up. There are numerous examples of patronage appointments under the Harper regime, including the deputy chairman of the CRTC. • Former International Cooperation Minister Bev Oda was accused of misleading parliament by withholding financial costs of programs and charging $14 glasses of orange juice to the taxpayers. • The two omnibus bills have effectively stifled debate and rendered MPs redundant. • The already finished Canada Action Plan cost taxpayers $26 million over three months. Because the program was done, the ads are considered election ads being paid for by Canadians.

EMC news – While the opposition hammers at Prime Minister Stephen Harper over the Mike Duffy scandal, a local MP is sticking to his side. “I am pleased the prime minister confirmed he didn’t know about this event,” said Gord O’Connor, the Conservative whip. “He was completely taken aback. We are pleased he is not involved.” Senator Mike Duffy accepted $90,000 from Harper’s now-former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, to pay off expense claims deemed improper. O’Connor, like many Conservatives, is distancing himself from the P.E.I. senator and Wright, saying the affair was improper. “This is wrong. You cannot provide funds to a politician. Mr. Wright made a serious mistake,” O’Connor said. “I’m sure he had good intentions. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions.” He doesn’t buy the line some Conservative supporters use when they say $90,000 is a drop in the bucket compared to the billions spent by the Ontario Liberals. He said it is true former premier Dalton McGuinty wasted a lot of taxpayers’ money, but that doesn’t excuse what happened in the federal government’s case. In light of four appointments Harper has made to the senate, all plagued by scandals, and a number of other questionable appointments, O’Connor was asked if the prime minister’s judgment should be brought into question. “He’s made 3,000 appointments, he can’t possibly know everything about all of them. “People were upset when they didn’t know what was happening. Now they know what’s going on,” said the Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP. “I don’t think there is any permanent damage to the brand.”

coming to power in 2006. Some of which include the following: • Perhaps the most significant is the Robocalls scandal, which sees one party member facing charges. A federal judge recently ruled that electoral fraud occurred in ridings across the country in the last election, though not to a point to change the outcome. Judge Richard Mosley didn’t single out the party or its members, but he found the person or people involved had access to the Conservatives highly expensive voter list. And that the fraud was high-tech and widespread. • The F-35 jets could cost almost twice the government’s initial estimate of $16 billion. That doesn’t include engines and in the eyes of some experts is inappropriate for the Canadian military. • The highly respected International Science Journal lambasted Harper for his dismissal of science, funding cuts to science programs and muting scientists. • Harper’s prorogation of parliament. • The Mandatory Long-Form Census, important to municipal planners and others, was replaced with a voluntary version. It is considered by many statisticians, businesses and NGO groups to be less useful. • The Conservatives believe the public service in Ottawa had a Liberal bias, which led Harper to strip much of its policy development functions. Federal workers are largely implementers today. • Harper denied a House of Commons request to turn over documents on the Afghan detainees’ affair until forced by the speaker, who said he was in breach of parliamentary privilege, resulting in the first of two unprecedented contempt of parliament rulings.

President and CEO Chris Mazza went on an indefinite medical leave at the height of the scandal after receiving $1.4 million a year while remaining off the “sunshine list” of public employees earning over $100,000. The company’s for-profit division, Ornge Global, also received $6.7 million in a contract from Anglo-Italian helicopter manufacturer AgustaWestland, which is also part of the audit by the provincial auditor general.

Young Eagles invites youths to fly for free Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - The pedals, the floor, the seats, basically everything in the small plane vibrate furiously as pilot Matt Pearson takes off from the Arnprior Airport. The engine makes a strange loud whooshing sound as it ascends and the intercom crackles distressingly. The entire plane shifts, bumps as the wind picks up. He isn’t worried. He’s been flying for ages, logging hundreds upon hundreds of flight hours and he plans to add a few more during the Young Eagles Rally this Saturday, June 15. With seven other pilots, he plans to share his love of flying by bringing children, between the ages of eight and 17, up in the air. The free event is put on at the Carp Airport, hosted by the local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). As well as the experience, the children receive a log book, a free flight training course and a magazine. The goal of the event is to spread aeronautics passion. “We are enthusiasts, we like what we do,� said Young Eagle co-ordinator Alfio Ferrara. “There is going to be a kid out there that is going to benefit from this.� “Choosing it as a career, a hobby later on in life or be connected in one way or another,� he added. “It’s sharing our enthusiasm.� Both Ferrara and Pearson volunteer their time to give these kids the opportunity to foster a love of flying. “When you really love to do something, you just want to pass

Pilot Matt Pearson took reporter Patricia Leboeuf for a flight to promote this Saturday’s free flights for kids. it on to somebody else,� said Ferrara. It can be a very expensive hobby to take up, with recreational pilot license costing a minimum of $5,000 or so. here are, however, different avenues enthusiasts can take to fuel their passion to limit costs. Pearson got his licence through the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. “They have flying scholarships,� he said. “They’ll actually pay to get your licence. That’s a good way to do it.� The EAA chapter is also holding its monthly meeting at 10 a.m. on the morning of the event. Children and their families are welcome to attend. Flying techniques and other aerospace subjects will be discussed. Once the meeting wraps up, the kiddies take over at noon. “We do registration, we do a bit of ground introduction for the children,� said Ferrara. “How the intercom works,� he added. “We’ll show you how to get on because you have to walk on top of the wing, into the seat. It’s almost like getting into a bathtub for this type of plane.� Once they are properly in-

troduced to the basics, they are taken up into the sky for a 15-20-minute trip. For those with a daring spirit and strong stomach, the opportunity to take over the reigns may come up. “We really want to make sure that somebody who is really interested in flying has the opportunity to be up there and actually enjoy it,� said Ferrara. Whether somebody enjoys flying on a small airplane is discovered within a few minutes of being up in the clouds. The pilots do reassure the kids that there is no shame in calling a flight off if motion sickness or fear strikes. It also isn’t always obvious who will love flying and who will find themselves biting their nails. “I’m terrified of heights,� Pearson admitted. “But I’m fine in an airplane. The event is free to attend, but requires registration in order to properly plan out the afternoon. To sign up, please reserve your spot with Alfio Ferrera at young.eagles@eaa245.org.

God saw that he was getting tired, A cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him And whispered, “Come with Me.” With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes “the best”.

Grab a paddle and try dragon boating June 23 Arnprior Dragon Boat Club to host Sunday fundraiser for Chorolderemia Research Foundation of Canada Sherry Haaima

and organizers ask for exact change please.

Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

GEAR ADVICE

EMC events – If you’ve always wanted to try the sport of dragon boating, here’s your chance. “You’ve seen the boats on the river full of keen paddlers and heard the drum beat echo on the water,” says the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club in a recent press release on a unique upcoming opportunity for local water enthusiasts. Paddling turns individuals into teams, says the club, which invites interested parties to Learn to Paddle – Dragon Boat 101. The event runs Sunday, June 23 at the Arnprior Marina and includes a lesson on water safety, a warmup and a first practice on the water. “We’ll start with the basics, so you won’t feel out of place on a boat full of experts,” says the club release. “Everybody will literally be ‘in the same boat’.” Participants can register upon arrival for $10

Life jackets and paddles will be provided and the session will last about a half hour. In terms of tips for what to wear, organizers advise you to wear layers so you can take things off when it gets hot. Avoiding seams is best. “No flip flops, no jeans please. Avoiding seams is best,” said the release. Water sandals are a good choice, organizers add. A water bottle, sunscreen and sunglasses are also recommended. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Arnprior Marina Gate 6. For more information, email arnpriordragonboat@gmail.com . The club was a recent recipient of the Ontario Trillium Foundation grant. Half of proceeds will be donated to Chorolderemia Research Foundation of Canada. Visit www.crfCanada.ca.

Taking advantage of garage sale Saturday, from left, are Skyler Whittall, Braedyn Benn and Dakota Benn, who were serving up drinks and treats to the crowds.

Among those raising money for good causes were the McNabBraeside firefighters and White Lake United Church.

COMMUNITY

Neighbourlink Fountain a true community hub Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC lifestyle - From a building abuzz with school children to one bustling with all kinds of activity, the former Alexander Public Reid Public School in Arnprior has returned to its former glory. Now home to the Neighbourlink Fountain, the building features a café, community kitchen, a thrift store, activity room, workshops, library, a chapel, children’s playroom, resource centre and more. And though it’s been in existence for several years, many people still don’t know what the Neighbourlink Fountain is all about, say officials. The annual barbecue and variety sale this Saturday, June 15 is a great opportunity for people to come in and check out the organization and meet some of the people involved. “A lot of people in the community still don’t know exactly what we do here,” said Tina Hapgood, fountain co-

Neighbourlink Fountain staff and volunteers show off some of the items up for grabs at this Saturday’s sale. From left are Chrystal Greene, Marie Hudson, Logan Brennan, Tina Hapgood and Holly Hurl. ordinator. From those new to the community and looking to make friends and those needing to access agencies such as the food bank or employment services to those looking for clothes or household items on a strict budget – all are welcome at Neighbourlink. Before coming to volunteer and then work at the centre, Hapgood herself was new to the community and dropped by Neighbourlink.

“There’s a sense of community and a sense of belonging here,” she said. From a military background, Hapgood said Neighbourlink functions much like the family resource centres found on bases. After several years in the community, agencies are referring people to the fountain, and vice versa. And all kinds of support is coming in. Northern Credit Union, for example, hosts a

Father’s Day barbecue June 14 with proceeds going to the fountain. Help is confidential and all efforts are made to make the experience pleasant for clients, volunteers and staff. “People think you have to be in need to be here,” said Debbie Hudson, staff director and Neighbourlink board member. But that is not the case. Neighbourlink sees people

from all walks of life – disadvantaged or privileged – for all kinds of things. Whether seeking assistance or support, desiring to learn a new skill, looking to enjoy friendship or seeking connections to local services – the agency can help. And while the board is made up of representatives from a host of area churches and there is certainly a focus on Christian values, you needn’t be religious to be involved. “We’re open to anybody,” said Hudson. “You don’t have to be associated with a church to come.” The experience of volunteering at Neighbourlink is a gratifying one for the volunteers. “I get probably as much out of it as the clients do,” said Hudson. The Arnprior resident retired several years ago after 38 years of commuting to Ottawa for a federal government job. She’s met more people and experienced more personal fulfillment in the last three years than she ever dreamed. “I come here and I feel good,” said Hudson. Staff director Marie Sparling couldn’t agree more.

“I have become part of the community,” said Sparling. “Everyone should come out and see what we’re all about.” The most pressing needs at Neighbourlink are financial support and volunteers. The fountain is funded through churches, fundraisers, individual donors and through donation boxes at the centre. Volunteers can assist with services, including: securing financial counsel, filling out government and other forms, finding financial assistance, transportation to appointments, and shopping and meals. There are no charges for services, activities or food at the fountain. Donation boxes are provided for those wishing to make a donation. The fountain is open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Tuesdays from 6-8 p.m. SATURDAY SALE

The sale and barbecue runs 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 15 at 128 Mary St. in Arnprior, rain or shine. New to the sale this year is a silent auction.
