REGION Winter’s icy clutch on spring increased the REGION burden on Arnprior taxpayers this year. The snowfalls and freeze-thaws, particularly in April, drove up the winter maintenance budget by 20 per cent. The increase was felt in labour rates, as opposed to equipment, with .COM workers struggling to deal with the added salt on icy sidewalks and potholes aplenty. The town’s director of public works Guy Bourgon explained that equipment costs more than doubled two years ago because the municipality started accounting for the lifecycle of all assets. Which is why he stresses the 20 per cent relates to labour. “Most years winter tapers off, but the freezing and thawing meant more salt trucks and sidewalk buggies,” he said. “So it (cost) was about 20 per cent higher than in the past.” That means 94 per cent of the $708,000 winter maintenance budget has evaporated – before November and December arrive. Staff is likely need to borrow from other areas should expected snowfalls hit again in 2016. Canadian winters wreak havoc on watermains and other infrastructure. This past winter was about on par with other years, Bourgon said. A hydrant break next to the Arnprior and District Museum was unfortunate. .COM

Construction company applies for noise bylaw exemption Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Nights could get a little noisier in downtown Arnprior on some weekdays this summer. The company overseeing the $10-million downtown revitalization project has asked the municipality for an exemption to the noise control bylaw. Thomas Cavanagh wants the town to let it perform construction activities between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. from Mondays to Fridays. The request is for “special circumstances” in order to replace and connect water and sewer mains during off-peak hours (when de-

mands are lower). “Each individual request would be reviewed by the town prior to any work taking place during these hours to determine if the request is justified,” reads a notice from the town to downtown businesses and homeowners. Currently, construction activity is allowed from Monday to Saturday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., and excludes Sundays and statutory holidays. Council will vote on the request at the its Monday, June 27 regular meeting, starting at 6:30 p.m., at town hall. Anyone with concerns should contact the town before 4 p.m. next Monday.

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

The intersection of John and Elgin streets is almost unrecognizable this week.

Construction season means delays for Arnprior area drivers Staff

The centre of downtown Arnprior looked like a war zone at times this week as the main intersection of John and Elgin was torn up to replace underground water and sewer lines. However, the end is in sight for work on Madawaska Boulevard across the bridge. The main road paving was completed early this week. However, completion of the downtown revitalization project is still more than a year away. The comprehensive two-year project involves the reconstruction of several downtown streets, including work on Madawaska Street from the bridge to Elgin Street. Temporary road and lane closures are in effect, but all downtown businesses remain open. Motorists are urged to expect delays, drive carefully and obey the construction sig-

nage. The rehabilitation of 1.7 kilometres of Madawaska Boulevard from Connifer Lane to 120 metres west of Jack Crescent is expected to be completed within the week. CLAYBANK BRIDGE

Meanwhile, work on Claybank Bridge on White Lake Road just south of Arnprior has begun in earnest. The bridge is remaining open, but speed reductions are now in place and motorists can expect temporary daytime lane closures. Starting on Monday, June 27, the bridge will be reduced to a single lane of traffic controlled by traffic signals. There will also be a restriction to a maximum vehicle width of 3.5 metres. The lane restrictions will remain in effect for the remainder of the construction season.


Town of Arnprior to ask federal government for $1.7M in grants Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

The federal Liberal promise to boost spending could see the Town of Arnprior getting another $1.7 million in grants for needed repairs and upgrades of municipal buildings. At the June 13 council meeting, staff shared their research into grant possibilities for projects at the local museum, library and community centre. Some grant programs have short deadlines, so council had to move quickly to give staff approval to apply. After last February’s hydrant rupture that flooded the D.A. Gillies building (Arnprior & District Museum) basement, damages were assessed and an outside consultant’s re-

pair plan put in place. The exterior foundation of the late 19th century building needs work. Together with an improved dehumidification system in the basement, the cost totals $400,000. Interior work, including the removal of a block wall, adds up to $135,000. There is also water or moisture between the exterior and interior walls. A humidity regulated room to store artifacts will cost $100,000. Many federal grants will offer to pay 50 per cent. This one for the museum, the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund, will give up to 70 per cent in “exceptional circumstances,” explained museum curator Janet Carlile. She believes the town stands a reasonable chance of getting that much.

Council told her to go for it. Another grant program, Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program in recognition of the country’s 150th birthday next year, might offer to pay 50 per cent for a new elevator at the museum. The upper two floors of the building remain inaccessible “to many school children and a large percentage of visitors” reads staff’s report. The province is mandating public buildings become accessible, especially cultural buildings. Repairs to the section where a elevator would go makes the case for the $125,000 grant request even more compelling. Over at the Arnprior Public Library, four furnaces are showing their age and should be replaced, according to staff.

Roads also take a winter hit From front page

And the other one or two per month cost taxpayers. But it could have been worse, especially with pipes dating back about 100 years. “Last winter wasn’t bad for watermain breakage,” he said. “We did have one on John Street in December. It was very old.” Like many in town, the public works director looks forward to post downtown revitalization, when stronger pipes will be located 2.4 metres in the ground, below the frost level, on stone bedding.Roads didn’t fair so well.

“They did take a beating. A lot are in need of replacing,” Bourgon said. “A lot of cracks and pothole repairs: it was a bad year for potholes. We’ve tried to keep up.” Climate change is playing a part in significant temperature fluctuations, he agreed. Which is among the reasons he plans to approach council to ask for a $30,000 to $40,000 hot box. The town borrowed one from the county last year to burn off ice build-up in potholes. It allows the asphalt to adhere better and last longer. “It’ll pay for itself and relieve car damage,” he said.

The main floor carpet dates back to 1991. And a paint job throughout the main floor could happen with a grant of $49,000. At the Nick Smith Centre, repairs and restoration of the roofs (one suffers from a 75foot split caused earlier this year) would require a grant approval of 50 per cent equalling $237,500. The “chiller” that regulates the temperature in the two-rink building, installed this month, falls within the timeline of the grant program: the federal government could contribute $61,400. Council is routinely impressed with staff’s ability to uncover grant opportunities. Councillors voted in favour of staff filing the paper work. Staff will report the results at a future meeting.

Arnprior council rejects parking petition from Bellwood residents Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Arnprior council has turned down a petition to restrict parking along a high-density residential street. Council received a petition from 13 of 32 residences on Bellwood Drive last month. There are many townhouses, each with a garage and a driveway for two cars, resulting in street parking for guests and others. Driveways are close together compared to the south side, which is single homes. The petition asked for no-parking signs on the north side of the road that runs parallel to Highway 17 to solve a number of problems: • inability to see around parked vehicles from driveways; • snow clearing blocked by parked cars at night; • vehicles parked in front of fire hydrants; • vehicles parked facing the wrong direction; • vehicles parked for several days without moving.

Public works director Guy Bourgon’s report to council at the June 13 meeting argues the street design follows government and industry approved guidelines. Hence the top concern is no different than similar streets across the province. The next four complaints could be dealt with by the town’s bylaw enforcement officer. A call to the town or MLES will result in an investigation, the report suggests. “Due to the mix of singles, semis and towns present on Bellwood, there is sufficient parking presently available on the street to accommodate the residents and their guests in most circumstances,” Bourgon wrote. “Staff recommends that parking continue to be permitted on both sides of Bellwood Drive. Removal of parking spaces is not warranted and would lead to parking shortages on this street, resulting in parking being pushed onto adjacent streets, which would not be desirable.” However, Bourgon ceded parking space shortages in areas of modern townhomes “is not uncommon” due to the small frontages

permitted. “It is quite common for a resident or their guest not to be able to park immediately in front of the unit they are entering,” reads the report. “When street parking availability is examined through the development review process, it is on the basis of the area and not restricted to sides of the street.” McEwan Homes is responsible for the development. It plans another street between

Bellwood and Highway 17. It will feature a berm to reduce sounds from the highway, another concern from residents. Mayor David Reid said “intensification” measures – which the provincial governments encourages municipalities to implement – leads to parking issues. Reeve Walter Stack suggested the developer should be forced to set aside land for a parking lot.

OPP encourage use of online crime reporting The local OPP has implemented an online Citizen Self Reporting tool that allows the public to report minor crimes such as theft, property damage and driving complaints. The system allows citizens to submit reports from their computer or mobile device without going to an OPP detachment. All submissions will be sent directly to the OPP and reviewed by an officer. The sender may be contacted to provide more information. You must have a valid e-mail address in order to submit a report. Use this system to report: • lost/missing property under $5,000; • stolen license plates or validation stickers;

• theft from a vehicle under $5,000; • mischief/damage to a vehicle under $5,000; • mischief/damage to property (other than a vehicle) under $5,000; • theft under $5,000; • driving complaints. 24-HOUR REPORT LINE

To report a crime online, go to www.opp. ca. The 24-hour OPP toll-free number is 1-888-310-1122. This number works anywhere in the province of Ontario to dispatch an OPP officer or report a crime. Program this number into your phone. In life-threatening emergencies call 911.

Original Herbfest coming to McNab-Braeside Staff

While the Carp Farmers’ Market will host its first annual Carp Herb Festival this Sunday, June 26, it should not be mistaken for the original Herbfest. That popular festival is being held as usual on the last Sunday of July, but instead of at the Herb

Garden near Almonte, it’s being moved to McNab-Braeside this year. Herb Garden co-owner Gerry Bedard addressed McNab-Braeside council June 7 to confirm that Herbfest will be held July 31 at the Waba Cottage Museum grounds in White Lake. The Herb Garden owners, who ran the fes-

tival for years, are retiring from hosting the festival, but are giving their blessings to the McNabBraeside festival, not the ‘Herb Day’ at the Carp Farmers’ Market. Bedard gave his gratitude to McNab-Braeside for taking on the HerbFest project and promised to help it promote the event.

Mayor Tom Peckett responded that he is looking forward to HerbFest being a success in the township. On its website, the Herb Garden says that while it is no longer hosting Herbfest, “do not despair,” as the “festival lives on” in White Lake. Herbfest will be held on the

long weekend, Sunday, July 31, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. rain or shine. The Carp Farmers’ Market Association’s Herb Festival, this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Carp Fairgrounds, will have a different approach and will focus on producers selling their own grown herbs.

The hot, dry weather has prompted the McNab-Braeside Fire Department to issue another temporary fire ban for the entire Township. That will remain in effect until further notice. The ban on open air and recreational burning within the municipality will remain in effect until further notice. It was issued Monday, because of extremely dry fine fuels on the ground and windy conditions. The fire ban has been implemented to avoid possible hazardous situations that may result from outdoor burning and human error, notes the fire department. The fire ban includes all campfires at established campgrounds and on private properties as well as fireworks and pyrotechnics. Fire permits will not be issued during the ban and all current permits are immediately on hold. For further information, contact fire chief Dave Hartwick at 613-316-2097 or the Township of McNab-Braeside at 613-623-5756.

Elvis will perform at Riverfest at Red Pine Bay in Braeside this Saturday, June 25 at 12:05 p.m., then pose for selfies in return for a donation to CHEO.

The McNab Days Riverfest Saturday, June 25 has a new vibe this year. The free festival at Red Pine Bay in Braeside, which has been celebrating community and heritage for the past five years, will have some new attractions as Elvis will be in the scenic park on the Ottawa River. So will area championship knife-thrower Ward Wright and 60 vintage cars and boats. “We’ve gone retro, vintage and classic this year,� said publicist Wendo Blondeau. Riverfest will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the park at 642 Usborne St. The event, which is a “celebration founded on friendship,� has become the “festival without fences� with all activities being free as the township “pays the community back,� said Blondeau. She said Elvis is coming all the way from Tweed and the King of Rock and Roll will perform for half an hour at 12:05 p.m. As well, an Elvis collector will showcase rare mementos and spin rare Elvis tunes. Attendees can pose for selfies at the Elvis photo booth, with proceeds going to CHEO. There will also be paddling and archery demonstrations, a kid zone with bouncy castle, a classic $3 meal deal, prize draws, plenty of classic rock and

roll, and fire trucks, as well as the vintage cars and boats courtesy of the Manotick Boat Club. With the classic cars being on the display in the parking lots, visitors are being asked to park along Usborne Street. Riverfest, formerly the Riverdriver Festival, began six years ago to celebrate the history of the township and its proximity to the Ottawa River. The Bonnechere River Watershed Project is holding an interprovincial paddle starting at 9:30 a.m. from Sand Point to the Quebec side to Red Pine Bay for the festival. The rest of the schedule is as follows: 11 a.m. – opening of the classic boat show, live music show with Gillan Rutz, kids zone, archer’s alley, paddlers demos, Arnprior McNab-Braeside archival display, food court, free draw for kids bike courtesy of Arnprior Canadian Tire; Noon - mayors remarks, silent auction begins; 12:05 p.m. - King of Rock and Roll arrives, performs on stage; 12:45 p.m. – Rutz live on stage, get a selfie with Elvis for a $1 donation to CHEO; 1 p.m. – demonstration by world champion knife thrower Ward Wright; 2 p.m. – classic car show award winners announced.

Scottish Festival to include tributes to Ferguson, Smith Jr. Staff

This Sunday’s Scottish Festival will include tributes to two well-known area residents who died in the last year. The festival will run from noon to 5 p.m. June 26 at the Waba Cottage and Museum grounds in White Lake. Admission is a freewill donation. Among the many activities will be a ceremony honouring the many community contributions by Jim Ferguson and Bob Smith Sr. Both men were involved with the organizing of previous Scottish festivals as well as many other noteworthy contributions. The poster promoting this year’s festival has special significance, including a photograph of red tailed hawk image, which is appropriate given Ferguson’s love of birds. And the McNab tartan background is an acknowledgement of Smith Sr., who was the bass drummer of the award-winning Arnprior-MacNab Pipes & Drums band. ‘The Hawk that Swoops on High’ is a pipe tune, so it is all tied together nicely in the poster. At the festival, the skirl of the pipes will once again echo through the haunts of an ancient Scottish clan chief Archibald McNab’s stronghold. Four massed pipe bands will perform at 1 p.m. and before closing.

Developer asks for more town homes Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

More townhouses for a new neighbourhood in Arnprior will be the focus of a public meeting in July. Callahan Farm subdivision has a few streets paved and a mixture of new residences by developer Campanale Homes. Before the next phase begins, however, changes to the ratio of single detached to town homes could be in the works. A request to bump up the number of town homes by 71 units – along with lot decreases - was made at the June 13 council meeting. “I was strongly opposed to similar changes in the past,” Mayor Da-

vid Reid said. “But I also want to hear from the public and the rest of council.” With more baby boomers downsizing and salaries running stagnant over the last few years, the trend both locally and national is for smaller houses. Campanale wants to meet that need and has provided a Market Demand Study to reflect that change. A few years ago when designing the section in question, the developer got approval for 51 per cent singles, 24 per cent townhomes, and 25 per cent bungalow towns for a total of 314 units. Now he is asking for 24 per cent singles, 44 per cent townhomes, and 32 per cent bungalow towns

for 385 units. The municipality has some concern with the amount of tax revenue the ratio will bring in. A lot of townhomes that individually pay less versus fewer singles that individually pay more. But three concerns discussed more by town staff and council are: • future housing needs are met; • watermains can handle additional units; • enough parking (and traffic flow) exists on site. After the meeting, town planner Robin Smith explained that developers aim to meet market demand. Municipalities plan for future needs. The town can’t focus exclusively on meeting the needs of empty nesters today at the expense of tomorrow’s families. “You want to have a good mixture to ensure sustainability. Not more than 50 per cent town houses; that is sort of where we are leaning now,” she said.\ “So we are looking more at the needs. They

are looking at the market.” Campanale did not provide a housing needs study with its request. The second issue has to do with bottlenecking watermains on Daniel and Havey streets. Another 71 units will increase pressure much more than originally planned. The town has known about the oncoming bottleneck for some time, and will pay for the work, but it will still figure in to council’s decision. The third issue has to do with parking. \Townhomes often have driveways close together leaving little space on the road for additional parking. Some residents on Bellwood Drive recently petitioned council for no parking signs along a row of townhomes. A side issue could be traffic flowing through subdivisions. But a traffic study with estimates and appropriate volume (determined by provincial guidelines) will make the final determination.

PCs advance climate debate

N

o one should expect the PC party of Ontario to apologize for decades of championing the wrong side of the climate debate. They goofed and now, when it is possibly too late to do anything meaningful about the situation, they have finally admitted it. So we should carry on with the new parameters of the discourse. As John Yakabuski put it in a June 16 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide story, “we are completely on board and recognize this challenge is real.� The story detailed his reaction to the Wynne government’s climate change plan. Except that we should pause. Opposition to the facts of climate change could spell doom for humanity. It is not to rub deniers noses in it - as many on both sides will presume - but to examine the anatomy of the most damaging public policy position in human history. It is not difficult to see which direction the party is headed over the next few years. It was the same reluctant evolution others parties went through, albeit years ago. They, too, were well behind others. (The oil industry knew of serious climate concerns back in the 1960s when Silent Spring was published.) Yakabuski, the PC’s energy critic, revealed it himself during the interview for the story ‘Climate plan antidemocratic, bad for economy’. “If the economy isn’t functioning, nothing else matters,� said the MPP for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. That’s upside down, of course. Without the environment you have nothing. The economy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the environment. So their next evolutionary step will be the realization that an ever-growing GDP fatally threatens a world of finite resources. Rather than a greedy ravaging of the Earth’s wealth, we must quickly move toward a circular economy. The guaranteed minimum income system would be a good start. However, let’s back up to examine a little more closely the position the PC party has recently abandoned, if only because so many on the right in this

country and others continue to back it. First off: the name-calling. Saying environmentalists are hypocrites because they live in a capitalist society and drive to work doesn’t change the facts of climate change. Conservatives are not called hypocrites because they use publicly funded hospitals or support wars they refuse fight in. They espouse an ideal, not the current reality. Environmentalists do the same: they speak the ‘ought’ not the ‘is’. Then there is the “It’s a cold day outside so global warming is not real.� That is tantamount to the person who eats a full meal denying hunger in Africa. Anecdotal evidence offers limited proof. Which is why pointing to singular events such as the recent wildfire in Alberta as proof of climate change is less than sound. How about the argument that environmentalists have been wrong in the past? Lots of people have been wrong, including climate change opponents. On the issue of whether we have crossed the point of no return, unfortunately they may still be right. The world won’t end with a bang, as T.S. Eliot said, but a whimper. The days get steadily hotter and hotter. The most frightening aspect of the apocalypse is its banality. Another charge is that environmentalists are ungrateful for all that oil has given them. Many hope to retain some comforts, hence funding sustainable energy experiments but if foregoing tropical fruit in January is necessary to preserving life, so be it. Stoicism, incidentally, was once a conservative value. And, finally, those denying climate change are simply too emotional. They allow anger to cloud their faulty reasoning and rather than accept the fear and dread that comes with accepting climate change, they deny its existence. They are somewhere between the first and third stages of grief. Trouble is, we need all humanity on the seventh: acceptance and hope. We need that before it is too late. If the PC party gets there more quickly without apologizing, that is fine. So long as we now move quickly.

Merlin not a willing photo subject To the Editor: This Merlin (female) is ‘feasting’ on a small bird. This falcon has an incredible ability to capture a smaller bird in flight. After several photos, its wing and tail-feathers raised, along with those piercing eyes, it flew directly towards me and only broke away approximately six feet from my camera. Interestingly, these birds can capture birds as large as pigeons, roughly the size of the Merlin. RUSS CORBETT/SUBMITTED

Student funding falls short in rural areas: report Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Funding for rural students should be closer to the level given urban students, according to People for Education. The public schools advocacy group recently released its annual report showing that students living in small towns, rural and northern communities are less likely to have music or health and physical education teachers. They also have less access to psychologists, and are more likely to attend schools that put caps on waiting lists for special education. The report is based on survey results from 1,154 elementary and secondary schools across Ontario. “The survey results raise the question: should the

quality of a student’s education be determined by where they live?” asks Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education. “Ontario’s economy and future well-being requires a renewed commitment to those citizens who live outside urban areas. Students should have access to a rich education, whether they live in a rural farming community, a northern mining town, or in the heart of a big city.” Funding to rural regions is less equitable not only in education but in all areas, according to RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. Some rural schools don’t have a gym while some city schools have swimming pools, he said. But rural culture and tranquil country living make up the difference, he indicated.

“It’s not just school, but everything we do is affected by challenges of being rural and the government doesn’t recognize that. Just the amount of driving we do alone,” Yakabuski said. “There is an inequity and we should bridge the gaps somewhat, but we’re never going to have some things they do in cities. We don’t have the population or ability to deliver. And I believe we have a better way of life out here.” The report shows that, because most education funding is allocated according to enrolment, small towns and rural boards “may be” at a disadvantage. In 2016: • 61 per cent of city elementary schools have a health and physical education teacher, compared to 30 per cent of small town or

rural schools; • 52 per cent of city schools have a music teacher, compared to 30 per cent of small town/rural schools; • 60 per cent of elementary city schools have a teacher-librarian, compared to 44 per cent of small town/rural schools; • 94 per cent of city secondary schools have a fulltime guidance teacher, compared to 74 per cent of small town/rural schools; and • 62 per cent of city elementary schools have regular access to social workers, compared to 30 per cent of small town/rural schools. However, there have been improvements in student physical and emotional

health over the last 10 years. Across the province, the Liberal government has increased gym teachers from 40 to 48 per cent since 2009; regularly scheduled social worker access has gone 43 to 50 per cent at the elementary level, and 63 to 76 per cent at the secondary level since 2012; access to a regularly scheduled child and youth worker has gone from 33 to 37 per cent at the elementary level and from 51 to 53 per cent at the secondary since 2012. But the inequities persist, noted a former president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and member of the Premier’s Community Hub Frame-

work Advisory Group. “Our northern, smalltown and rural communities are a part of the rich fabric that makes up Ontario,” Doug Reycraft said. “Perhaps it’s time to abandon the current funding formula in favour of a better system that comes closer to providing a fair and equitable level of funding for all students, wherever the live in Ontario. “The formula works for cities; it doesn’t for small town and rural Ontario.” No one was made available for comment from either Renfrew County District School Board or Renfrew County Catholic District School Board.

School board works with care agencies on suicide prevention The Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) has unveiled a new suicide prevention agreement with seven community care agencies. The Memorandum of Agreement on Suicide Prevention Protocol outlines how each organization has a role to play in prevention, intervention and postvention. It sets out a clear pathway to support staff and students as they develop the knowledge and skills to respond to the mental health needs of students within the public school family. “This agreement underscores RCDSB’s commitment to not only offer a safe, caring and respectful learning environment, but also highlights how we are making wise use of resources,” said board chair Dave Shields. “We now are able to leverage county-wide expertise in addressing the mental health needs and challenges facing some of our students.” The agreement has roots reaching back to 2013. At that time, the board made a conscious decision to have a strategic plan that included a platform for better mental health and well-being among the student population.

Trustees recognized that mental well-being influenced overall student success. As a consequence, the Mental Health and Well-Being Strategy was developed in 2014 to guide staff in their efforts to achieve better outcomes for all students. “The announcement continues us down this path to healthier, more resilient students who are better able to cope with the various challenges they will encounter throughout their life,” said RCDSB director of education Roger Clarke. “As a component of the Mental Health and Well-Being Strategy, it demonstrates how we are being flexible when responding to shifting student needs. This is no small feat when change is the only constant in our sector.” The agreement is also important for parents and guardians since the onset of most mental illnesses occurs during adolescence or young adulthood. Well-informed parents are the most valuable prevention resource available to the suicidal adolescent.

Teen facing charges after vehicle, home damaged One man is facing charges after Arnprior OPP responded to a report of someone damaging a vehicle and front door on June 18. The incident took place at 12:50 a.m. on Gordon Ferguson Place in Arnprior and later more damage was done on Ida Street. Police located and arrested a 16-year-old male after a brief struggle. He is charged with four counts of mischief under $5,000, four counts of uttering threats, assault and causing a disturbance. He will appear in youth court in Renfrew on Aug. 3. Under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act he cannot be identified. OPP Const. Denys Baranovskiy investigated.

OPP officers investigated 11 thefts during the past week. Stolen property includes gas, personal property (cell phone, GPS, loose change, gym bag) from unlocked vehicles, and two bikes. One bike was stolen from St Joseph’s elementary school in Arnprior between 9 a.m. and noon on Monday, June 13. It was recovered on Friday, June 17. The other bike was stolen from a back yard on McGonigal Street West overnight on June 13. It is described as a Haro green BMX bike. THEFTS

Sometime between June 1 and 5, unknown persons entered an unlocked porch at

a residence on MacDonald Street South in Arnprior. They stole a TV, Xbox live, a guitar and 30 Xbox games. OPP Const. Tamara Dube is investigating. A BMX bike was stolen from downtown Arnprior on June 11 between 1 and 2 p.m. The bike was left unlocked against a light pole on Edward Street. The bike is described as an Encore, black BMX style bike with a black and yellow front tire and white pedals. A 14-year-old youth returned stolen property to a store after her mother located the items. On June 6 OPP were contacted by the parent wanting an officer to speak to the youth. The stolen property was returned

Several reports of mischief and vandalism were reported to the OPP recently. Reports included slashed vehicle tire on Wilfred Crescent, a car walked on parked on Elgin Street and construction barriers knocked

down on Elgin Street. Officers also responded to a smashed mailbox on Mill Ridge Road, a chain cut on a gate at Mountain View Gold Course, an ATV driving on lawns on Museum Road, all in McNab-Braeside, and a mailbox smashed on Mullins Road in Horton. On Saturday, June 11 at 10:36 p.m., OPP officers responded to a single vehicle collision on Burnstown Road. The vehicle was travelling eastbound when it left

the roadway and entered the westbound ditch. The male driver from Renfrew had been drinking and was arrested. On Sunday, May 29, shortly after 5 a.m., OPP officers received information about a possible impaired driver in the area of White Lake Road and Highway 17. Police located the suspect vehicle on Vancourtland Street. The male driver was arrested and failed an alcohol test.

Firefighters extricate driver Sunday morning Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

A young man from Arnprior faces traffic charges following a crash early Sunday morning. Fire crews from the town and City of Ottawa arrived at the near Highway 417 and Ottawa Road 29 just before 3 a.m. on June 19. A black 2009 Pontiac GST lay on its side along the westbound ramp. A female passenger was able to get herself out of the car. The male driver, 20, from Arn-

prior, was extricated by town firefighters in about 20 minutes after the roof was cut open. He was taken by ambulance to hospital in Arnprior then to the Civic in Ottawa with unknown injuries. “He didn’t have a seltbelt on either, so he was lucky he didn’t have more horrendous injuries,” said OPP Const. Guy Prevost. “He was driving too fast and lost control on the curve.” Alcohol was not a factor, he added. The driver faces charges of careless driving and failure to wear a seatbelt.

Peat moss cited as cause of house fire Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Peat moss that combusted is being blamed for a June 16 fire that caused extensive damage to a Renfrew home rented by a family well-known in Arnprior. Efforts to help Chad and Ashley Phinney and their four children, who lost everything in the blaze, are already underway. The couple had just rented and moved into the home on the corner of Joffre Avenue and MaTe-Way Park Drive. No one was injured in the blaze. Renfrew Fire Chief Guy Longtin said this is not the first time that peat moss, or a combination of peat moss and black earth, has caused fires in Renfrew. He knows of at least two others. In one of those cases it was a cigarette butt extinguished in the moss that caught fire. “It’ll heat up on its own,” said Longtin. “It gets heated up too much and it can cause problems. Keep it wet and keep it out of extreme sun.” The peat moss was in a planter on the deck at the rear of the house, say officials. Renfrew firefighters responded to the scene around 1 p.m. June 16. When the fire started, an adult babysitter was home with the family’s youngest child, an 18-month-old girl. In a strange coincidence, Ashley’s brother, Andrew Miller, who was working doing bylaw enforcement, noticed smoke and flames as he was patrolling the area

and knocked on the door to notify those inside. He was unaware this was the home his sister had just moved into with her family. “He bangs on the door and sure enough it’s the babysitter and his niece,” said Glenn Miller, Ashley’s father and former Arnprior-McNab-Braeside school trustee. The babysitter and toddler got out safely and Andrew went back in for the family pet. “Andrew went back in to get the dog and when he came out the whole house was engulfed,” said Miller. He praised the efforts of the Renfrew Fire Department. “They were quite thorough,” he said. It was a neighbour’s security camera video that shows the peat moss igniting, said Miller. “You watch it and see this plant just blow up,” he said. While shaken up, the family is doing alright, said Miller. “Everybody seems to be fine, they are just reorganizing,” he said. They had some insurance and Red Cross is expected to be offering some support, but the family is certainly in need and any help is welcomed, said Miller. The girls are aged 7, 6, 5 and 18 months. Drop-off locations have been established in Renfrew and in Arnprior at Crazy Beautiful Tattoos, Piercings and More on John Street. An online account to help the victims raised $1,700 in the first three hours. Donate at www.gofundme.com/phinney . Call 613-222-5341 or email yourcruiser@gmail.com for more information.

Arnprior fire damages drop last year: chief Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Monetary losses from fire emergencies are down, Arnprior council learned at its June 13 regular meeting. Fire chief John Okum presented the fire department’s annual report to local legislators, covering staff levels, new equipment, calls for service and prevention programs. He started by reminding council of Ken Carr’s retirement after 50 years with the volunteer service. The position was filled earlier. Another firefighter resigned because they could no longer commit the time. The same was true for a one of the 13 recruits brought on board this year. There are 34 firefighters in total, which has remained fairly constant over the years. They volunteered 3,308 hours. Among recent equipment purchases is a 2015 front line pumper with six-person cab, breathing apparatuses and a gear rack.

WE PAY

Okum said there were 15 fires resulting in financial losses last year. One civilian was injured. “That’s about the same past years,� Okum said. “But the value has dropped.� The total losses amounted to $612,850. He credits early detection by homeowners. Working smoke alarms played a big role, he said. The biggest fire of the year, at Badham Machine Shop & Welding, had no working fire alarm or sprinkler system. Okum considered it a “very serious� fire that went undetected until flames breached the external walls. With propane and oxygen tanks, among other combustibles, firefighters did well to avoid a “catastrophic explosion.� Firefighters go door-to-door in various neighbourhoods parts of town, asking to check alarms. Last year they covered 225 homes, entering 167. Of 383 smoke alarms checked, 93 per cent were working. “It’s a very positive program in the community,� Okum said.

Canada Day Car Show organizer Brian Estabrooks is planning some changes to the event this year.

Revving up for 37th Canada Day Car Show Plans are well underway for the 37th Annual Canada Day Car Show to be held at Hydro Park beside East Side Marios in Arnprior. This year’s event will have 100 per cent of car registrant proceeds being donated directly to the Arnprior Hospital Partner’s in Caring Foundation, and will include a charity barbecue put on by the Arnprior-McNabBraeside Seniors at Home Program. In addition, Garry Patrios will be setting up his stage and providing live entertainment for entrants and spectators. This is the first year for event organizer Brian Estabrooks to take the lead with respect to planning the car show. As a result, registrants can expect to see some variations versus that of previous years. One of the changes brought forward will be the inclusion of more than 25 award plaques featuring a number of unique categories designed to recognize entrants that

might not normally receive recognition. Some of these unique categories include ‘A Dash of Awesomeness’, ‘Best Classic Family Car’ and ‘Lookin’ Good under the Hood’. The car show will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with registration taking place between 9 and 11 a.m. The car show registration fee will be a minimum $10 donation and all spectators are free of charge. Estabrooks thanks the many local sponsors that contributed to the award plaques and made door prize donations for this year’s event. As well, he thanks the many spectators who will be coming out to this year’s event. For more information on the Arnprior Canada Day Car Show, contact Estabrooks at estabb@ live.com or visit the Facebook page https://www. facebook.com/ArnpriorCanadaDayCarShow/ or https://www.facebook. c o m / O t t aw a Va l l e y HotRods.

Do you Wanago to summer camp? Maria Pecora, Cole Murray

Camp Wanago co-ordinators

School is almost out and Camp Wanago staff are hard at work planning a fun-filled summer with many great trips, exciting games, crafts and special events planned for the campers this year. The Town of Arnprior Recreation Department’s summer day camp has been around for many years and is well known in the community as well as surrounding areas. Camp Wanago runs for eight weeks throughout July and August for children ages 4 to 12. Camp runs from 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. and takes place at St. Joseph’s School for the first five weeks and then at the Christian Education Centre for the last three weeks. Lunches are provided (except on trip days) and late pick-up is available for those that need it. This year Camp Wanago is continuing with some of the favourite trips such as Saunders Farm, Mont Cascades, Cosmic Adventures, the Experimental Farm and the Museum of History. It has also added some exciting new trips to Putting Edge, the Kanata Wave Pool, and Xtreme Trampoline. Every week at camp there is a theme, starting off on July 4 with Fitness Frenzy, where campers will have a chance to try popular as well as whacky sports. They will even partake in their own Camp Wanago Mudder at Robert Simpson Park. During week two, campers will go on Wanago’s Wilderness Adventure to explore nature and enjoy the outdoors through walks, games and crafts. WATER GAMES, CRAFTS

To Beat the Heat in week three, campers will try to stay cool through water games and crafts. ‘Make Some Noise’ in week four where it’s all about the arts. Campers will be given opportunity to try improv games, bucket drumming and creating a giant chalk mural. Camp Wanago ends its time at St. Joseph’s School in week five by getting in touch with its inner mad scientist and wondering Where the Wild Things Are? The 2016 summer Olympics will be on during week six where the camp will hold its own Wanago Olympic Games. Campers will get to participate in their very own Olympics, complete with opening and closing ceremonies. Camp is all about Fun!Fun!Fun! in week seven, where campers will try their hands at world records and giant outdoor board games. For the last week, campers will attempt to travel Around the World in Five Days. The days will consist of crafts and games from different cultures and continents. The recreation department is happy to welcome back some familiar faces to Camp Wanago this year. Once again Maria Pecora and Cole Murray are teaming up as Camp Wanago’s co-ordinators and are thrilled to be organizing another summer filled with fan favourites and fantastic new activities. Patti Dodge and Janessa Russett return to Camp Wanago ready for another awesome summer. Did you know Patti volunteers with the McNabBraeside Firefighters Association? Cool!

Summer arrives with heat wave Summer arrived Monday on the third day of plus-30 degree Centigrade temperatures. Summer officially arrived in these parts at 6:35 p.m. June 20. It came on the tail of the hottest weekend of the year so far. Renfrew County was under a heat warning for a number of days and officials remind people to drink lots of fluids when the temperature rises and wear sunscreen. Officials are also reminding people not to leave pets in vehicles, as temperatures can rise dramatically in warm weather.

Dragon Boat Festival promises a fun event

“Gifted” but “uncontrollable” child? Don’t drug them…heal them! The world needs them!

Darrel O’Shaughnessy Dragon Boat Festival Organizing Committee

The countdown is definitely on for Arnprior’s second annual Community Challenge Dragon Boat Festival scheduled for Saturday, July 23. Everyone is invited to come down to Robert Simpson Park and help the community celebrate this year’s festival. Soak up the park’s elegance and spacious green parklands, especially along the waterfront, and watch some of the top Dragon Boat teams battle-it-out in both 500-M and 200-M competitions for top place medals. People can also cheer on their favourite corporate team. Last year’s Dragon Boat team races between Partners In Caring, Sullivan/Rona and the Ottawa Nationals Broomball Team was fierce, but smiley faces prevailed overall. However, are they ready to compete again this year? Anyway, their fans will continue to encourage them. Once again this year the festival’s noon hour will feature a special heartwarming Breast Cancer Survivor ceremony, as well as a 200-M Dragon Boat sprint to the finish between the Arnprior Youth Dragon Boat team and the Ottawa Boys and Girls Club. This particular competition will be fun to watch and promises to be most inspiring. This will be a great time to come out and encourage local youth and see what youth Dragon Boating is all about.

More and more, parents find their way into my clinic in a desperate attempt to make their life and their childs life easier. They usually have tried it all from counselling to medication and are at a point where it is no longer an option to just sit and wait for a miracle to happen.Their day to day challenges center around managing their child.The school calls to complain about their misbehaviour. Teachers often don’t know what to do, just as parents are at their width end with their patience. Arguments happen way too often and resentment, hatred and overwhelm become a way of life. Yet deep inside every mom and dad know their child is special…. soooo special! Just how can we turn things around? Let me tell you a little story: A few month ago both parents brought their young teenager into my clinic. I work with all of them together but also provide confidential individual time if necessary, as the goal is to respect everyone. Even though the child is going to be treated, mom and dad need to understand the ground work and rules and will be enlightened by my suggestions as it relates to their parenting style. This teenage boy was suffering from anxiety, ADD and ADHD. He is a bright and engaged young teenager, who loves to take control of his life. After the initial assessment I provided some energetic homeopathic remedies. I showed the boy how to take the remedies and he took the first dose right in my office. At the end, I briefly spoke with mom in private, while dad and his son waited in the car. Next month at the follow-up visit, mom was beaming from ear to ear and dad said: I can’t believe this, but he was another child from the first time he took a drop of your remedies! He immediately calmed down and was patiently waiting in the car for mom to come out, without getting impatient or angry as he usually would.” Mom continued saying:“I even can take him shopping now, without being afraid that I’ll have to run out of the store in embarrassment of him having a panic attack or a tantrum! His conflict resolution is so much easier and we are actually coming to a conclusion.” Then I turned to the boy and he smiled: “I don’t even have my nightmares anymore!” Healing at it’s purest.No drugs,no side effects! Results can be this immediate! Heilkunst - the different kind of counselling - where everybody counts and not just the one treated. Embrace your family.

Paying For The Deficit As tax collection targets of the liberal government, imagine the shock of family campground owners when they received their collection letters, telling them they are no longer considered a “small business” and owed the Trudeau government tens of thousands of dollars in re-assessed taxes. In fact a campground in southwestern Ontario recently received a collection letter stating he owed $250,000 in re-assessed taxes. Another campground received a Notice of Assessment for 2013 and 2014 showing $36,000 more in taxes were due plus $250 per month in interest charges alone! In addition to raising taxes, the Trudeau budget announced the creation of a new branch at the Canada Revenue Agency, with the hiring of additional tax collectors at a start-up cost of 444 million tax dollars. With a mandate to find an additional 10 billion dollars to squeeze out of Canadians, the budget has already spent the expected ‘new’tax revenues before one cent has been collected, until now. Campgrounds will be closing. This move to go after small businesses like family campgrounds is not unexpected. The second campaign promise to be broken after breaking the first by blowing the deficit sky high, was to renege on the promise to lower the small business tax rate. In fact Trudeau demonstrated his contempt for small business by claiming small businesses were nothing more than tax scams. He believes they are set up as a way to avoid paying taxes. That comment is an insult to the husband and wife team who work 60 to 70 hour weeks to manage a family campground during the short summer camping season. Camping is family time, getting kids off video games and out in nature and the great outdoors. The last affordable family vacation will now be taken away from Canadians. We are supposed to be more active. What better way to be healthy than spending the day outdoors. Campgrounds are an escape for people who live in urban areas. Not everyone can afford a cottage. These businesses need to be recognized for what they are, small family run businesses. Canada was built on an appreciation for the great outdoors. Stop the over taxing and allow our kids to enjoy themselves in nature! As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, CNL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you!

Arnprior School of Karate instructors and students, many of whom achieved their new levels the day before the picture was taken, include. in the back from left, Sempei France Guillemette, Eric Crawford, Paul Crawford, Brad Martin, Ryan Lunney, Josh Sleeth, Emma Beaudoin, Jason Roosen and Jim Sleeth; and in front Sensei Garth Templeman, Sempei Marie-Hélène Crawford, Alexandre Dowdall, Anika Dowdall, Laurie Beaudoin, Peter Fogarasi, Jayla Beaudoin, Gaia St-Pierre, Hudson Blackburn, Benat Roosen and Mackenzie Hisko.

New milestones achieved for local karate school, big camp coming this summer The Arnprior School of Karate has achieved new levels for its instructors and students over the past couple of weeks. “The dojo is affiliated with the Japan Karate Associaion (JKA), which ensures international standards are maintained for instructing, judging, examining and the expertise required at each new level achieved,” explained Sensei Garth Templeman. “We just recently had two more of our black belt instructors achieve their second degree, as well as receive the international certification for teaching and judging. I want to sincerely congratulate both Sempei France Guillemette and Sempei Marie-Hélène Crawford. They both have worked extremely hard and deserve it.” The Arnprior school is not only expanding the group of certified black belt instructors, it also has three more students recognized as black belts. “At the most recent exam held in Ottawa by Sensei Saeki, the national technical lead for JKA Shotokan karate, we had two of our youths achieve their black belts. I can’t express enough how proud I am of Paul and Eric Crawford – the work ethic they model to our other youth members will serve them well both in their continued karate training and anything

else they put their minds towards in life”, said Sensei Templeman. “We also had Brad Martin, an adult member who came from another Shotokan school, get certified as a JKA black belt. Although all Shotokan schools trace their roots back to Master Funakoshi, not all of them teach things the same way or adhere to the same international standards. It takes work to adapt to the teachings of the JKA, Brad put the necessary work in, and so he was successful at the grading. “We’re excited to continue to expand our certified instructor and judging base. Arnprior can now have three people judging at provincial and national level tournaments. Given that nationally there are probably less than 50 with those qualifications, I’m thrilled,” said Sensei Templeman. The Arnprior students continue to thrive as a result. “We had students examine for their first new belt (yellow) all the way up to the last level before black belt (1st kyu). And all of our students who examined were successful”, said Sensei Templeman. “We’re extremely proud of all the hard effort that all of our students put in and we’re committed to seeing each individual

find and achieve their personal best. I personally feel blessed to be the head instructor for such a great group of students.” When asked what’s next, Sensei Templeman replied: “Well later this month is the nationals in Newmarket just outside of Toronto. Then later this summer we have an incredible training camp coming. “Nemoto Sensei senior, his wife, and four of his sons are coming from Japan to teach, along with a large number of Japanese university students training there. One of his sons is the current all Japan kumite champ; the three other sons also train and have some additional expertises which they will be sharing at the camp. I’ve been fortunate to have already met a few of them and they are both great martial artists and great people. I can’t wait to see them again this summer. “The next large international event will be happening in Ireland in a couple of years, and hopefully we will have students qualified to compete there.” The Arnprior School of Karate trains out of the Kenwood Athletic Centre at 78 Edward St. South and is not affiliated with other dojos in the Ottawa Valley. It is a proud member of the national CJKF and international Japanese Karate Association (JKA).

The 18-hole, shotgun scramble tournament starting at 1 p.m. is raising money and awareness for the recently established fund as a way to help students across overcome barriers they face due to fi-

nancial constraints. Schools will access the funds on behalf of students and the mini grants will support basic needs, participation in extra-curricular programs, college applications fees and more.

An area ringette team has won the silver medal in the Capital Classic Ringette tournament in Ottawa. The mixed squad with players from Arnprior, Upper Ottawa Valley and West Ottawa (Carp and Stittsville) were in the U10A division. It entered the tournament on June 3 to 5 as an Arnprior team and wore their jerseys. They also had two Arnprior coaches on the team, Scott McGuire and Kirk Cavanagh. The girls only lost one regular game by a score of 5-4. On Sunday morning they moved onto the semifinals where they had a very exciting game when Alexis McGuire from Arnprior tied it up with 16 seconds left to send the game to overtime. They were two minutes into sudden death overtime when Arnprior player Jaidyn McGuire scored the winning goal to send the team to the finals. They lost the final game to a strong west Ottawa team but came away with silver medals. They all played so hard every single game, say the coaches. “They were the underdog team that ended up surprising everyone.” Alexis McGuire from the Arnprior-McNab Ringette Association ended the tournament leading in points with 21 and her twin sister Jaidyn finished second with 15.

Kevin Friske and Dan Lavallee will again be holding a track program in Arnprior this summer.

The Arnprior District High School’s senior girls soccer team won the Upper Ottawa Valley title and played well against top-notch competition at EOSSA. The team members are Amanda Birmingham, Jessica Bryson, Claire Caldwell, Mackenzie Carpenter, Sarah Couture, Johanna Enright, Jaclyn Gillan, Taylor Gillan, Lauren Hass, Niki Jamieson-Naugler, Cassie King, Lauren Miron, Sydney Moore, Shivani Patel, Madisson Poirier, Miranda Robinson, Kathryn Stanton, Robyn Stanton, Sarah Symington Zoe van Sickle and Elizabeth Wyatt.

ADHS girls soccer team gets schooled at EOSSAA tournament Arnprior District High School’s senior girls soccer team, the Upper Ottawa Valley title-holders, lost both games at the Eastern Ontario championship tournament. But the young team gained valued experience that should stand them in good stead next season.

The girls travelled to Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place as the number 5 seed at the EOSSAA championship. Their first opponent was the number one seeded team from St. Michael’s High School in Kemptville. The Kemptville team jumped all over the

Arnprior girls early with two quick goals before the Arnprior settled down. However, the St. Mike’s overall size and team strength proved too much and ADHS lost 4-0. In the next game the Arnprior squad faced fourth seed Holy Trinity from Cornwall. ADHS suffered a similar fate losing 4-0.

However, all in all, the senior girls’ had a wonderful season winning the UOVHSAA championship. They are a very young team with only five graduating seniors, so the experience of competing at EOSSAA should pay dividends over the next couple of years.

Gwen Bambury is a local Senior who likes to keep busy – one thing she does is makes ‘fire starters’ out of pine cones – a great way of clearing away the pine cones spread across the yard while making a safe and organic item to start the wood stove fireplaces or the outdoor fire pit. The pine cones are dipped in wax and make for a lasting and safe fire starter. Gwen has donated many to the ABMSH for us to sell along with other fundraising events. With her is Rebecca Cavanagh, our ADHS Coop student helping Gwen with the latest delivery of pine cones.

Arnprior health care providers recognized for dedicated, long service The annual Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) Employee and Physician Service Recognition and Awards ceremony was well attended on June 14 at the Madawaska Golf Course. Fifty staff members representing over 705 years of employment. were honored for their long service to ARH. In addition to long service recognition was the awards portion of the event. Recipients are chosen from nominations put forward by colleagues and co-workers. Recognition by a coworker carries significant meaning and demonstrates how employees appreciate one another for the exemplary care they deliver to patients, clients, residents and each other. Several awards were given out during the ceremony. Three people received the Rookie of the Year award given to employees with two years or less of service who have enabled ARH to make ongoing strides in achieving its vision. Congratulations to Registered Nurse Corinne Clarke, activity aide Kaila Schauer, and physician Dr. Balpreet Bar. The Rising Star Award is given to employees who through their efforts and achievements are recognized by their colleagues as important contributors to the continued success and future of ARH. This year’s win-

ners are housekeeping aide Penny Armstrong and RN Carol Beattie. The leadership award was given to Phyllis Proulx, the team leader of housekeeping. It is awarded to a staff member who demonstrates superior leadership skills. The Team Excellence Award is given to a group who though their efforts and initiatives best champions ARH’s vision of being rec-

ognized for exemplary care. This award went to the Falls Prevention Team at The Grove Nursing Home. Fall rates were high and the target for 2015-16 was to reduce them to13.6 per cent. By following the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) Best Practices and having registered staff focus on fall prevention for each shift, the fall rate fell to an incredible 6.5

It has been 15 years and I miss being your mom so very much, Sometimes, I’ll let myself imagine… Hoping against hope, daring to dream That I’ll catch a glimpse of you again – alive, vibrant, throwing back your head as you laugh Eyes sparkling, smiling, playful, Loving life, living life, as only you could. Where are you? Are you really that quiet voice in my heart? Are you the gentle warmth of a friend’s embrace? Are you the shoulder where I rest my head while I cry? Are you the tears of others’, falling as freely as my own as we talk , laugh and share memories of you? This need to still be “mom” to you is the driving force within me that keeps me going each day, Stronger than hunger, more intense than pain – this need to protect and care for you even after you’re “gone”… I sit here and talk to you, Silently, “Heart to heart” Asking you if you still love me, need me, hear me, see me, know me, remember me... Cutting this flower, snipping that one, gardening “together”, like we used to… Lighting your candles, so you won’t be afraid of the dark… ... And then, I hear your soft voice, I see your sweet face, In my “hearts eye” I see you smile, And you tell me I’ll always be your mom, That we’ll always be connected - “heart to heart”. And I become, once again, what I’ve always been, loved being - will always be... ... Katie and Sarah’s mom

With all my love, “mom”

Donald Calvin Smith Happy Father’s Day & Birthday Dad R.I.P. The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away, We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same. For those who still have their dads, Treat him with tender care, You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and he is not there. Love you, Calvin, Susan & Karen

Sitting on a straight-back kitchen chair, I wasn’t at all happy. I had made a mistake, and I should have known better. It was easy to get bored on a Saturday afternoon, and that day was no exception. All my chores had been done, and neither Joyce nor Velma could come over to play. And I had dressed and undressed my dolls a dozen times. Mother was busy at the bake table. The bread had risen enough to be popped into the oven, and pie *crusts were waiting to be filled with rhubarb. My sister Audrey was at the old pedal Singer sewing machine, and there I sat, wondering what I was going to do next, and how I was going to put in the long day ahead of me. Making me even more agitated was that Mother and Audrey were completely ignoring me and the long sighs. Finally, I could stand it no longer, and that’s when I made my mistake. I said, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.� Without taking her eyes off the piecrusts, Mother said, “Wonderful. We’re getting low on dishcloths. Get the ball of string out of the cupboard, and knit up a dish cloth.� Well! That wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Knitting dishcloths was something I hated with a passion. To me, the job was as boring as sitting with nothing to do. And besides, I couldn’t knit to save my soul! “Well?� Mother said. It was more of a command than a ques-

tion. I was in charge of all the string that came into the house. Most everything coming in brown paper bags from Briscoe’s General Store was tied with string. It was my job to save it, tie it to the last piece on the ball, and put it in the cupboard. I dragged my feet all the way over to the other side of the kitchen, got the string and the knitting needles, and plopped down heavily in the chair. Audrey had shown me how to cast on stitches, and I was supposed to count them, so that when finished the dishcloth would be about 18 inches square. Well, I had no intention of putting on that many stitches! The dishcloth I would turn out would be about the size of a small hanky! My sister could knit an entire dishcloth in one evening sitting at the kitchen table. I would be lucky to get about six rows done, even if I sat there the entire afternoon! After about 10 minutes I was almost asleep in the chair. This was more boring than having nothing to do! Finally I asked Mother if I could finish the dishcloth later. Well, Mother wasn’t ‘born yesterday’ and she knew perfectly well, I would never get back to the knitting. “You know what I think

about quitters,� she said, never taking her eyes off the filled pies. Audrey looked over at me with sympathy. She knew how I hated knitting, and how bad I was at it. She was still working the foot pedal of the Singer, making up flour bag pinnys, and putting hems on other bags, which would serve as tea towels. Then she stopped. She turned on the stool and held up the last pinny she was making. “Mary would you come over here please? I think this apron is too long for you, and I would like to measure it to be sure.� She gave me a big wink, and said I better put the knitting aside in case I dropped a few stitches and would have to start over again. Mother was busy at the oven, and if she noticed Audrey’s request, she showed no sign of it. For the longest time, my beloved sister, used me as a model. Every pinny she made, she asked me to put it on for size. Then she asked me to fold the flour bag tea towels and put them in the back-to-wall cupboard drawer. She kept me so busy, I knew I could forget about putting one more stitch on the knitting needles. I learned a lot that day. I learned that my sister Audrey loved me, and I learned that you never, ever, said to Mother, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.� Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Next Breakfast N’ Learn to be held at PJ’s Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home’s next Breakfast N’ Learn on Wednesday, June 29 will be held at PJ’s Restaurant instead of the Galilee Centre. The centre, the regular venue for the series, is unavailable as it is hosting a silent retreat. The 8:30 a.m. breakfast, which will cost $6 as usual, will be a social morning with the topic ‘Getting to Know You’. The May 25 Seniors at Home Breakfast N’ Learn, sponsored by Tierney Stauffer LLP, featured paramedic JD Hefern of Renfrew County Paramedic Association. He spoke on all that the paramedics do today – more than just driving the ambulance. Their mandate is to keep folks living comfortable in their homes for as long as possible, the same mandate as Seniors at Home. It was a most interesting presentation, resulting in the guests requesting his return for another Breakfast N’ Learn.

‘Making a Difference’ during Seniors Month

Wendy Knechtel

Connections between children, youth and seniors have become less common. Our fast-paced lifestyles, our move towards single family housing and no longer living in multi-generational homes have unintentionally fostered a growing divide between generations. This is leading to missed opportunities for young and old alike to learn from one another. It’s a basic human need to connect with others that doesn’t end as you age. Luckily there is the intergeneration program at the Grove Nursing Home that invites local students to participate in activities with the residents. June is Seniors month and this year’s theme is ‘Seniors Making a Difference’. Seniors at the Grove contribute to the community and decided to host Katie Bears

Focus on the Grove as part of the intergenerational programming this month. Katie Bears are teddy bears given to anyone who looks like they could use a hug. Together Grade 3 students and residents of the Grove drew pictures, notes and cards to travel with the Katie Bears to children at a school in Jamaica. The Grade 3 class has been visiting and developing relationships with the residents all year and this was the conclusion of the successful program. Ending the year with a furry friend from Katie Bears and an artistic project that will make a difference in someone else’s life is great reward to both generations. This is just one of the terrific programs taking place at the Grove, demonstrating that once again the Grove is great.

Arnprior Canadian Tire associate dealer Jerome Taylor, left, hands a cheque for $1,000 to Arnprior-McNab-Braeside physician recruitment committee chairman Mark Nibourg and co-ordinator Laura Tromp. This is the retailer’s second instalment in a three-year commitment, Taylor explained. He is pleased to see the money going to good use. Two new physicians are coming to town, but others have retired or plan to in future, so the need for recruitment continues.

Touch A Truck Saturday at Arnprior Fairgrounds

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

The smiling faces of the young members in the congregation of Elgin Street Baptist Church welcome youth ages Grade 1 to 6 to sign up for the annual day camp. This year’s camp, with the theme Babylon Adventures, runs July 18 to 22 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Arnprior church. Among those promoting the camp with Pastor Eric Green and camp co-ordinators Susan Cafley and Julie Fraser are Ty Wagner, Rett Armsden, Nite Turner, Miah Kauffeldt, Emma Jones, Aamirah Brown, Lucas Taylor, Jason Liebig, Ivy Brodersen, Tyler Brinthell and Paul Bourbonnais.

Find adventure at Baptist summer camp Are you looking for adventure this summer? Then the Elgin Street Baptist Church’s popular youth summer camp could be for you. The Arnprior church is holding a pre-registration this Saturday, June 25 for the free camp that will run from July 18

to 22. Youth from grades 1 to 6 can sign up at the church at 135 Elgin St. West from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This summer’s camp has a Babylon Adventures theme and will run from 9 a.m. to noon for the five days. It will feature “cool” crafts, “adventurous” drama,

“thrilling” bible stories, “exciting” music and “tasty” treats. The theme revolves around Babylon Daniel’s courage in captivity, so the camp is for the adventurous, say organizers. For more information, call Julie at 613623-1140 or email jlfraser75@hotmail.ca.

Trucks, trucks and more trucks, all for little ones to touch are coming to town. The Arnprior Family Preschool Resource-Ontario Early Years Centre is marking 30 years serving Arnprior and part of the celebrations is the annual Touch A Truck and Meet a Machine day. The event is set for June 25 at the Arnprior Fairgrounds, 10 Gavin St. from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. More than 25 vehicles will be parked for kids to explore. There will also be face-painting, bubbles, games, balloons, food and more. Ray’s Reptiles will be there sponsored by the Arnprior Optimists Club and a bouncy castle sponsored by Reid’s. The cost is $15 per family or $5 per person (no ATM on site, please bring cash). For more information, call 613-623-8224.

Humane walk still a go The Arnprior and District Humane Society car show and car wash last Saturday did not replace its annual Walkathon as indicated in last week’s Chronicle-Guide. The society has moved the walk to Sept. 11 due to a scheduling conflict for Robert Simpson Park in June. Organizers are also hoping for somewhat cooler weather in September. This year they will be including a dog wash after the walk, so are officially calling the event the WalkN-Wash.

Therapy dog dayin Renfrew on June 26 Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Bernice Jamieson has a bag of dog treats hidden under her wheelchair for Miley, a therapy dog who visits Groves Park Lodge every week. When they see each other it’s hard to tell who has the bigger smile. Miley, a German Shepard/Airedale/Wolf Hound mix has been a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog for two years and is one of the reasons local volunteers are gearing up for a fundraiser this Sunday, June 26. “Miley goes and visits the residents, she brings them comfort and joy,” said Ellen Lucas, her handler, who is the team leader for Eganville/Arnprior/Beachburg and east of Pembroke. “She comes and goes, looks at them and says hi.” A therapy dog helps promote social interaction and provides affection and comfort for people in hospitals, retirement/nursing homes and more. Shelley Palmer, program facilitator at Groves Park, has seen Miley in action. “She is a big comfort and really good therapy for them,” said Palmer. “Just to be able to put their hand out to pet her. They are very happy to see her, some sit and wait

for her.” When residents see her they are totally changed, says Palmer. “It’s in their face; they light up, smile, laugh and talk away with her,” said Palmer. The St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program is a non-profit group and to keep the program running fundraising is required. Lucas has organized a fundraiser on June 26 to raise awareness of the program and raise funds for the dog’s vests, uniforms for the handlers and other associated costs. The Therapy Dogs Sunday Fun Day Shop-A-Thon will take place at the Renfrew Legion at 30 Raglan St. South from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will welcome 20 vendors, food, crafts for the kids, draws, a chance to meet some of the local therapy dogs and more. “In order for the therapy dog program to be a success in the community, funding is required to run the program,” said Lucas. “This day will help with the continued success of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs.” Lucas is inviting everyone to come out to the event, which is free to get in and see the local dogs. For more information on the fundraiser, contact Lucas at 613-312-0165 or via email at lucasellen@hotmail.com .

Urban Ford president helps organize Make-A-Wish fundraiser Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

It’s all about helping kids be kids. The inaugural summer launch event for a new Make-A-Wish family fun day is taking place this Saturday, June 25 at Calabogie Highlands at 1 p.m. Urban Donlevy, president at Arnpriorbased Urban Ford and Urban Sport, is on the committee helping to organize the event. He has supported the Make-A-Wish foundation for a number of years. “I’m a sucker for helping kids,” said Donlevy. “I love helping kids.” The event is being sponsored by a number of local businesses, including Urban Ford and Sport, the Highlands, Yamaha, and Quick Lane Tire and Auto Centre.

Kim Rekowski, with Calabogie Experience, encourages everyone to come out. “There are over 70 people in Eastern Ontario who need a wish; it could be one of us,” said Rekowski.

than food and beverages,” said Donlevy. “All of the experiences are covered and every dime raised goes to Make-A-Wish.” Currently there are no wishes to fill in Renfrew County. However, there are more than 70 wishes that need to be fulfilled in Eastern Ontario. “I’m taking this as a chance to bring more awareness to Make-A-Wish,” said Donlevy. “It’s a chance to spend time with your family, raise funds and awareness and do something you might not do.” The event will also showcase three local bands, including the Ghost Town Cryers and feature a barbecue, cold beverages and more. Well-known radio personality Mark Papousek will be the emcee for the afternoon. For more information, visit www.calabogieexperience.com/make-a-wish.html.

planned for the day, including a beach volleyball tournament; guided ATV or UTV rides with Urban Sport and Yamaha; tours of the lake on a wave runner, pontoon boat or a fishing boat; or flights in a float plane. “The plan is to try and encourage families, organizations or businesses to come out to Calabogie Highlands on the water and have a great day,” said Donlevy. Ford is also sponsoring the Drive One for the Community event where people will have the chance to test drive a 2016 or 2017 Ford. The goal is to have 250 test drives and Ford will donate $5,000 to Make-A-Wish. “Come on out and take a test drive; there is no pressure,” assures Donlevy. The suggested donation for the event is $20 for anyone 16 years old or older. “There is no charge for any events, other

THREE WISHES

Donlevy says the goal of the event is to help create awareness for the foundation and raise enough money to grant three wishes, which cost $30,000. “I hope the wishes are a wish of hope and not giving up,” said Donlevy. “We want children who have been dealt a lesser hand to know they are not alone. The parents do a great job and we want to show the kids as a community we care a lot about them.” There are a number of fun family events

Upcoming reunion for St. Joseph’s Catholic High School class of 1976 Forty years ago, St. Joseph’s Catholic High School was a small high school by the tracks off main street Renfrew where students learned to use a slide rule in math, changed ribbons on typewriters and played ball in the surrounding sports fields. Gone are the railroad tracks, school

buildings and fields are apartments and housing, typewriters and slide rules gather dust, but the old St Joe’s spirit still shines for the graduating class of 1976. A 40th anniversary reunion is being planned for Canada Day weekend at the Renfrew Golf Club. “You might forget others over the years,

but high school classmates are never far from your thoughts,” said grad George Skerkowski. While many had drifted apart over decades of career and family, with nests emptying and retirement looming, they’re beginning to reconnect. “Settling across the country, many of us haven’t seen each other for 30 or 40

St. Joseph’s to get new vice-principal for a year Several Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (RCCDSB) senior staff members, including the vice-principal at St. Joseph’s in Arnprior, will move into new positions in September. Derek Lennox is moving from the Arnprior school to become the interim principal at Our Lady of Lourdes in Pembroke for a one-year term. During that time, Ryan Kranz, who currently teaches at Bishop Smith High School, will serve as acting vice-principal at St. Joseph’s. Our Lady of Lourdes principal Randy Bissonnette has been seconded to the presidency of the Catholic Principals’ Council of Ontario for a oneyear term. Bishop Smith vice-principal Dave Noble will join the school board’s School Effectiveness Framework team, which provides support for school improvement and student success, as well as becoming principal at St. Anthony’s Catholic Elementary School in Chalk River. Erik Lemke will replace Noble as vice-principal at

Bishop Smith. Elizabeth Burchat will leave her position as half-time principal of Valleycrest in Renfrew to become half-time principal at St. John Bosco in Barry’s Bay this fall. Julia Graydon will move from full-time duties as an information technology special assignment teacher, to become a half-time IT teacher and half-time

vice-principal at St. John Bosco. Meanwhile, Maureen McHale Enright moves from her position as principal at George Vanier in Combermere to become principal at St. James in Eganville. Anne Marie Landon, a teacher at George Vanier since 1998, will become the school’s acting principal for a one-year term.

Board chair Bob Michaud says the staff changes planned for September demonstrate the school board’s success in professional development and leadership training. “Our staff has developed a wide range of specialized skills and expertise to meet the changing demands of our Board. My fellow trustees and I are very proud of our

years, but when contacted we picked up like it was yesterday,” said Skerkowski. “Credit the teachers who instill that kind of timeless spirit.” About 50 grads, former staff, and spouses are expected to attend the upcoming reunion. Friends are invited to drop by the club’s banquet room after 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 2.
