EMC news - There’s no mistaking the urgency of expanding Highway 417 well into Renfrew County, up to and beyond the City of Pembroke. A County of Renfrew delegation of public works director Dave Darch, Warden Bob Sweet and Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack spent more than 75 minutes arguing their case before Ontario Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Bob Chiarelli and staff at Queen’s Park June 27. Their arguments included safety — in the face of ongoing fatalities along that corridor — and economic development. Offering verbal support was RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski, on the same day that another death occurred along the two-lane Highway 17 that runs through Renfrew County. Expansion of the four-lane Highway 417 has reached into the southeastern end of Renfrew County, at Arnprior, where reconstruction work continues. But some officials, including Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green, have cynically indicated they’ll embrace Hwy. 417’s expansion into the Renfrew and Pembroke area when it happens in another few decades. The death of Pembroke resident and Renfrew Victoria Hospital employee Jessica Fitzgerald on Wednesday morning (June 27) represented the 37th traffic death on the county’s Highway 17 since 2009.

That reality wasn’t lost on the delegation members, who offered their assessment of the Queen’s Park meeting. The three provided a post-mortem summary during the June 28 meeting of Renfrew County council. “There is no funding in the five-year plan for us (from the province),” said Stack. “But I quite honestly have to say, in the number of meetings I have had like this, I got a very strong sense that Minister Chiarelli understood what needs to be done, and was sincere about trying to do what he could do, to try to keep the focus on the twinning of Highway 417. “He certainly understood the safety issues ... one of the comments he made was not a commitment, but an offer, to go and see if he could find the funding to complete the EA’s (environmental assessments) to twin the highway right to Pembroke.” Stack also noted that Chiarelli also said the county needs to provide a business plan (or economic development plan) that describes future economic development are expected because of the twinning (or extension) of Highway 417. While addressing county council, Stack reiterated what he said at Queen’s Park, namely how Arnprior’s businesses have greatly benefitted from the twinning of Highway 417 to the southeastern end of the country.

EMC news – There’s a new name and a new look to reflect health care services in the Arnprior area. Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) was officially launched last Thursday evening, recognizing changes in health care taking place not only in Arnprior but in the surrounding communities. Acting as an umbrella for services, Arnprior Regional Health includes Arnprior District Memorial Hospital, The Grove Nursing Home, the Primary Health Care Centre and Assisted

Living, as well as linkages with partners across the region. The unveiling took place on the lawn of The Grove, where the first of several news signs was unveiled featuring the new logo. “This is really cool,” said board chairman Jay Johnston. “This really makes a whole lot of sense.” According to ARH CEO and president Eric Hanna, the time was right to make the change in order “to be ready to the type of changes happening in the health care now.”

EMC events - The Arnprior aviation community is inviting local residents to participate in what has become a major summer event in the area. The annual fly-in breakfast at the Arnprior Airport attracted close to 1,000 people and 50 to 60 planes last year and there is no reason to expect it will be any less popular this year. The breakfast runs from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. this Sunday, July 8. Area pilots will drop in to the Arnprior airport to show off their aircraft, chat with the public and enjoy a hearty breakfast. Proceeds from the breakfast go to airport improvements, aviation initiatives and Community Living’s Unity Run.

Town hires new CAO Former City of Ottawa manager expected to start Aug. 13

EMC news – Arnprior has hired a new top bureaucrat. “It is my pleasure, on behalf of Arnprior’s entire town council, to announce the appointment of Michael Wildman as the Town of Arnprior’s new Chief Administrative Officer,� Mayor David Reid said in a press release Wednesday. Wildman arrives with 25 years of municipal government experience, having worked in public works, transportation, environmental services, community development, planning and growth management, and administration departments. Wildman’s former employers include the Region of Ottawa-Carleton, the City of Gloucester, the City of Ottawa, and most recently, the Township of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal. He has been a municipal manager for over 12 years, including as a manager of one of the largest branches in the City of Ottawa’s planning and growth management department, and as the CAO at the Township of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal. Wildman is a registered professional planner with the Ontario Professional Planners Institute, a certified member of the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists, and a member of the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario. In 2010, Wildman was awarded the George Burwash Langford Memorial Award, a provincial award, “in recognition of a distinguished career that has brought attention to the profession of engineering/applied sci-

He brings an extensive background in long range financial planning, engineering, land use planning and economic development. “We are excited to have Michael leading our administrative team at the Town of Arnprior, for which he is expected to commence work on Aug. 13,� Reid said. Council had announced in February that Kevin McLlwain had been chosen to replace Larry Donaldson as CAO. However, on March 12, the day he was supposed to start, McLlwain, citing personal reasons, announced he wouldn’t be taking the job.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP Yakabuski, in speaking to The Chronicle-Guide EMC, said he thought the meeting went extremely well. At the same time, he noted Chiarelli was clear to point out “there is a significant ‘ask’ for transportation dollars from all areas of the province.� Darch also called it a very positive meeting, during which Chiarelli’s staff noted that $500 million has already been spent on work related to the twinning of Highway 417. Warden Sweet said the twinning is even more vital, given the recent loss of the Canadian Pacific railway, but that the county has some work to do to ensure “its ducks are in order� when more provincial transportation infrastructure dollars become available. With that in mind, county council unanimously approved a resolution that directs the development and property department to select a consultant (through a request for proposal process) to undertake an economic development impact study for the expansion of Highway 417. A maximum of $45,000 will be allocated to the project from economic development reserves. Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green said it was good to have such a positive report on the

Warden Sweet reassured her that they would be. “It will be a county-wide economic statement that is put together,� he said.

Highway crash kills nurse, mother EMC news – The latest victim of a fatal crash on Highway 17 is a popular nurse and mother of two small children. Jessica Fitzgerald, 32, was on her way to work at Renfrew Victoria Hospital on the morning of June 26 when her car was struck by a dump truck at the intersection of Highway 17 and Haley Road. Police report the truck couldn’t stop in time to avoid a tractor-trailer turning left and after hitting the back of the transport veered into the eastbound lane and smashed into Fitzgerald’s car. Both truck drivers escaped with minor injuries. The Pembroke woman, who is survived by two children and a husband, was declared dead at the scene. Ironically, at the time of the crash, a delegation from Renfrew County was in To-

ronto to lobby for improvements to Highway 17 for both economic and safety reasons. “Jessica was a caring professional and a dedicated nurse with high professional practice standards,� Chris Ferguson, Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s vice-president of patient care services, was quoted in a story in Metroland’s Kawartha Lakes This Week newspaper. “She shall be dearly missed by all her friends and colleagues at Renfrew Victoria Hospital,� added Ferguson. “She will be remembered as a dynamic employee, a dedicated mother (of two children), and a delightful and energetic person to work with.� Her family has asked that donations be made to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Diabetes Education Program, where she worked.

Members welcome people to drive-in, bike-in, walk-in, and, of course, fly-in to take part in the volunteer-run festivities. Breakfast will include coffee, tea, orange juice, eggs, ham, beans, potatoes and toast. Airport manager Dan Lynch said this year’s event is extra well organized and should work smoothly no matter how many people show up. “Safety will be number one,� he said. Community Policing will guide people to designated parking areas, which will be a big help, he noted. COPA has organized three (up from two last year) wagons with trailers to take people to breakfast and tour them around the planes, which will be lined up on runaway 1634. Mem-

bers of the vintage pilots group will park the planes. Lynch said there will be a large number of interesting craft, including a static display of a Chipmunk and Ken Black’s green biplane, weather permitting. Chapman Aviation will provide sightseeing rides for a nominal fee. Among the organizers are COPA Captain John Cassidy, John Keindel, Bob Cressman and Mike Asselin. COPA’s mission is “to promote and assist in the development and enjoyment of general aviation locally and nationally through sharing of expertise, volunteer projects, education and political action.� To get to the airport, take the Bev Shaw Parkway left at the Antrim Truck Stop. A Community Policing guide will meet visitors at the airport’s new electronic gate.

Arnprior Regional Health designed to better meet local needs Continued from front

Hanna equated the change to creating a brand for health care in the community and making it easier to bring the hospital and other health services together for more co-ordinated care. The process of implanting the new name and look took about nine months of work by the board of directors. The idea was to create something less confusing for health system planners while making everyone aware there is more than just a hospital in Arnprior. “Over a period of a time, we have kept adding services,” Hanna explained. “We continue to make renovations and we accept we are growing, but not just in the hospital field.” With inpatient numbers continuing to decrease at the hospital, it was felt the time was now to look at new service delivery models, along with clinical innovation, shifting government policy and the need to change to meet the needs of local citizens. “We need to evolve and make sure we are more responsive to our community,” Hanna

explained, adding the change provides an opportunity to “focus on clinical innovation” that will position ARH as “a centre of health care excellence.” While the hospital has adopted new technology like digital mammography and orthopaedic surgery, there is a broader focus on day surgery and the expanded telemedicine program, while post discharge follow-up calls have been introduced. “The focus is on health, not just the hospital,” Hanna noted. “We have been changing our service delivery model to meet citizens’ needs.” This includes new service delivery models such as medical day care (transfusion clinic) and expanding health care partnerships with Bruyere Continuing Care, CNIB and the Community Care Access Centre. The branding change to ARH is expected to be seamless and enable a smooth transition from one health care provider to another, all the while increasing partnerships with orgaPhoto by Theresa Fritz nizations such as the Arnprior Family Health The new sign featuring the new Arnprior Region Health (ARH) logo was officially un-

veiled at The Grove Nursing Home last Wednesday evening. The creation of the Arnprior Regional Health brand is designed to focus on the myriad of health care services offered and not just the hospital and nursing home. Pictured from left are ARH board chair Jay Johnston, chief of staff Dr. Christine Schriver, hospital auxiliary president Bernice O’Connor and ARH CEO and president Eric Hanna.

Team and Assisted Living. As well, there is the feeling that the change reflects shifting government funding policy. “We are not changing our approach to having a caring environment,” Hanna emphasized. “We still need to be selective in what we do … we need to be the system leader.” Speaking to the new design created to reflect the new Arnprior Regional Health name, Hanna said the board wanted something with a contemporary feel, emphasizing “the focus is not hospital but health.” He added the word “regional” gives the impression of being broader and includes all the “sub brands” in local health care. “It is very strategic to say Assisted Living is a stand-alone service. We want to grow it,” Hanna explained. “There are 10 clients right now but we hope to grow it to 20.” As part of the Ministry of Health’s Aging at Home Strategy, Assisted Living partners with the Champlain Community Care Access Centre and matches the needs of seniors and their caregivers with the appropriate local support services to help seniors stay in their own homes and avoid premature admission to the hospital or long-term care homes.

Arnprior Regional Health builds upon Ontario’s health plan and addresses the need for more collaborative, system-focused care delivery. “Arnprior Regional Health is helping to drive transformation in rural health care and serves as a model for integration in the system,” said Ontario Minister of Health Deb Matthews in a prepared statement. “This name change is representative of a shift from provider-focused to patient-focused care as part of our Action Plan for Health Care.” “The launch of Arnprior Regional Health is a visionary example of how health services are adapting to changing needs,” said Chantale LeClerc, CEO of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). “By fostering clinical innovation and developing new partnerships, Arnprior Regional Health is positioning itself to be a true model for change in our region. The Champlain LHIN fully supports this transformative plan, and congratulates all those involved for developing such forward-looking local strategies.” “It is a very exciting time and the positioning of this (new branding) from a timing perspective couldn’t be any better,” concluded Hanna.

ABOUT HABITAT

Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 in Americus, Georgia, when Millard and Linda Fuller became concerned about the people in their area living in ‘poverty housing’. Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter played a major role in growing the organization. Internationally, Habitat now operates in 100 countries, has built over 200,000 houses, and shelters one million children and adults around the globe. A new Habitat home is built every 24 minutes.

EMC news – Habitat for Humanity could start building a home in Arnprior as early as next spring, it was learned at an information meeting held in town last week. CEO Donna Hicks and other Habitat representatives explained the benefits and challenges of creating a home for a low income family to a crowd of about 30 at St. John Chrysostom parish hall on June 27. “Arnprior is definitely one of the areas we are seriously considering building,” Hicks said. “We are hoping that we will eventually partner with Arnprior.” It was thanks to Habitat’s Barry Burke, who lives in White Lake, that Arnprior is on the list of possible partnerships. After research showing the need for low-income housing, plus the success of homes built in nearby towns, the decision to focus on Arnprior was made. Habitat partner families purchase interest-free, long-term mortgages with no down payment. The families must have total family income (before taxes) between $41,735 to $62,576 to qualify. Instead of the down payment, the family donates 500 hours of “sweat equity,” which can involve helping to build their own home, volunteer in one of two Ottawa ReStores or giving back in the community. Others in the community can agree to take on some of the volunteer hours. To build a home, it takes 380 volunteer “slots” or shifts. A prefabricated home can be completed in as little as three weeks; others three- to four-months. Tradespeople such as plumbers, duct work experts, and others are crucial to the project, as are in-kind donations from area businesses, Hicks said. The community has to raise $75,000 in cash and $75,000 in professional services and in-kind donations before work begins. Lunch is provided for volunteers. Hicks shared stories of schools and church groups helping with the volunteer work in communities like Carleton Place where a Habi-

tat home was recently built. “By the time we’re finished we pretty much have the entire community involved,” Hicks said during a later interview. One family gives back to Habitat seven years after getting their home by cleaning houses from top to bottom before the new family moves in. About 350 families applied for a home last year; only two were built. Hicks is hoping to have an Arnprior family selected by September. She added that in some cases municipalities have given over land for a home, knowing that it will take free up a low-income home for another family and bring in additional property taxes for itself. Hicks was heartened by the overall response from Arnprior council. Councillors Ted Strike and Lynn Grinstead, along with past NDP candidate Brian Dougherty, were at the meeting. Habitat’s national capital region office doesn’t receive provincial government funding. Hicks is baffled by it because in Alberta $88,000 is received for every home built, knowing it will save tax dollars in the end. She added that ownership leads many people to take better care of their homes, but that it isn’t universally true. Some folks on subsidized housing take great care of their place, others don’t. But overall, it can help. “Yes. I do think when people have pride of ownership it can make a difference.”

Both sides optimistic as negotiations resume Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

EMC news - Negotiations resumed July 3, and will continue July 9, as optimism grows that the twomonth old CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) Local 4989 strike could soon come to an end. Ontario Works employees were still on the picket line June 28, the day of the last Renfrew County council meeting before the summer break. The vehicles of county councillors and staff entering for work that day were delayed a few minutes before being allowed to pass, giving the 22 striking employees an opportunity to pass out a pink two-sided informa-

tion sheet and speak to the drivers. The same day it was announced the two sides would sit down July 3, for the first time since early May, in an attempt to reach a negotiated settlement. “Whatever’s going on isn’t working,” said CUPE Local 4989 striking staff representative Amy Parker, although she said she was cautiously optimistic about the negotiation session July 3. Resumed negotiations was at least “a step in the right direction,” said another striker, Brenda Jolicoeur. David Anderson, director of Renfrew County social services, is among management staff that remains on the job.

The strikers’ handout also noted the 22 striking members of Local 4989 have been offered a two per cent salary increase per year for the next three years, compared to full benefits and a three per cent salary increase for 2012 for management

and other non-unionized full-time staff throughout the county operations. “Wages have never been the issue during this dispute – we are simply asking for the status quo when it comes to our benefits,” said the handout. County council indicated, in its own social services committee report at the June 28 county council meeting, that the county had contacted the Ministry of Labour to request the negotiating teams return to the bargaining table. County also noted emergency social services continue to be provided by management staff during the labour dispute.

Prior to this week’s negotiations, he said, “We’re going to go into negotiations to get a negotiated settlement.” After Tuesday’s negotiations, he suggested there was reason for optimism entering the July 9 negotiation session in Pembroke, “We’re moving forward,” said Anderson. The main sticking point isn’t wages, say the strikers, but what the county wants to take away from their benefit packages.

Help yourself to good health and happiness through fitness Summer has arrived, bringing the promise of good times with friends and family. It is also the ideal time to take advantage of long days and sunny skies to get outdoors and make a commitment to good health. The Renfrew County Diabetes Education team is spreading the message that regular physical activity is one of the most important things a person can do to manage and live well with diabetes. Fact is, it’s the best thing anyone can do for their own personal well-being. The diabetes education team shares some

interesting statistics. • Low physical fitness is as strong a risk factor for mortality as smoking. • Fitness level is one of the strongest predictors of all-causes mortality in people with diabetes. • Physical activity can be as powerful as glucose-lowering medicine, with fewer side effects. • Regular physical activity, in conjunction with healthy eating and weight control, can reduce diabetes incidence by 60 per cent. The team also recommends that people who

have been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes begin regular aerobic and resistance exercise, and they can help you create a plan. No referral is needed to meet with the diabetes team, which is comprised of certified diabetes educators (registered dietitians and registered nurses) who work in collaboration with physicians, pharmacists, other health care professionals and family members to deliver what the diabetes team calls client-centred, self-managed care. To make an appointment, call 1-855-2937838.

Concerned Children’s Advertisers offers seven Eat Smart, Move More tips that can be viewed at cca-arpe.ca. They include family Play with Me, Walk with Me and Dance with Me programs, and promote better nutrition by eating more fruits and vegetables. The website also addresses the dangers of sitting for too long and the need for regular fitness breaks throughout the day. An investment in one’s own health is always a wise one. Healthy people create healthy communities, healthy workplaces and a healthy economy.

Fatal crash photo unnecessary To the Editor: I would like to say that while reading the paper this past weekend, I was very saddened to see the picture of the accident on Hwy 17. I understand that your job is to inform people of the news happening in our area, but is it really necessary to show pictures of a car that is so terribly damaged?

How awful for the family and friends of the victims of such tragedy. Please consider the integrity of your photos that you put in the paper. I, for one, do not need to see such evidence to know and understand the magnitude of this or any other tragedy. Karina Dewar Arnprior

Fundraising series strikes home To the editor, Thank you to Metroland reporters for shining a light on a very under-reported problem in Ontario: the pressure parents are feeling to fundraise for everything from crayons to playground equipment. There isn’t a week that goes by where parents aren’t asked to contribute to this school cause or that, without regard to whether they

are able to afford these expenses. Add school trips into the equation, competitions for fundraising dollars between schools, and we have a situation requiring the kind of investigative work Metroland has done. I hope your report lights a fire under the Ontario government. Joe Banks Osgoode

Park walkers a big help to animal shelter

Photo by Steve Newman

Gary Scholl, busy at the barbecue during the Arnprior and District Humane Society’s fundraising Walk in the Park, is one of the many volunteers who make the fundraiser possible.

To the editor: Thank you, thank you from the Arnprior & District Humane Society for making our June 17 ‘Walk in the Park’ fundraiser a super success. A total of $10,319.08 was raised for our no-kill animal shelter. Thank you to our volunteers who helped with registration, checkpoints, signage, cooking, and prizes. Thanks to our many generous and caring business sponsors who are identified on our website www.arnpriorhumanesociety. ca. Chris Kyte of myFM radio for a super job, and, of course, a huge thank-you to all the walkers. Once again the great music of the Spirit of ’69 band were on hand to entertain before the walk began. Warm weather was with us again this year. We loved the breeze coming off the

river through beautiful Robert Simpson Park and we welcomed many new participants. Congratulations to the three ‘Top Dog’ winners who raised the most pledges - Diane Winsor, Lise Bain, and Joanne Cloutheir. And the three ‘Top Pup’ (under 14-year-old category) winners Kate Babineau, Malachy Hutchinson and Rylie Valliquette. In 2013 we hope to see even more new walkers join our loyal, current participants for an even bigger and better event. As with all our fundraising events, these much needed funds are critical to keep your local no-kill animal shelter operating. Our heartfelt thanks, Brenda Ambrose Arnprior & District Humane Society

NATURE

Your Community Newspaper

Unusual suspects abound in our area EMC lifestyle – Summer is full of life. Meadows are full of vibrant blooms alive with insects. Butterflies skip from flower to flower while bees and flies fill the air with motion and sound. Along creeks and river edges, patient dragonflies sit on elevated perches, darting out to return moments later with a hapless victim in their mouth. Death is every bit a part of Nature as is birth and life. Dragonflies kill to eat just as do hungry birds feeding their young. Nature, of course, allows for the harvest by having species overproduce. Many insects lay hundreds even thousands of eggs, and birds produce far more young than necessary to pass on their genes. Many predatory animals are well known. Hawks kill small birds and mammals during the day while owls take over the night shift of death. Foxes eat voles and mice while Coyotes capture mammalian prey as large as deer. Crab Spiders wait with lethal patience on flowers while Orb Weavers spin invisible traps of silk. In addition to the predatory animals that are well-known, there are other creatures that carry out their business in ways less obvious to our eye. Currently a variety of

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way wasps can be found walking on the ground. Spider Wasps are often dark and shiny, and vibrate their wings as they move. Many Thread-waisted Wasps are orange and black, and they also search at ground level for prey. The targets of these wasps, however, do not usually serve as food for themselves. When a prey is captured, the wasps inject it with a paralyzing poison and then stash it away in an underground crypt. Eggs are stuck into the stillliving victims, which serve as food for the larvae after they emerge from the eggs. And then there are killers that may come as no small surprise to you. Eastern Chipmunks are popular animals for they are cute and take peanuts from our hands. These

cute little squirrels are great climbers and use this ability to harvest Ironweed seeds and cherries, which are stored for winter consumption. But chipmunks also enjoy meat and right now many are looking for nests of songbirds. When found, a nest is climbed into and one of its contents is removed. Chipmunks often return until all of the nestlings are taken. In a study done on Whitethroated Sparrows, the main cause of nest depredation was found to be chipmunks. Red Squirrels also have a penchant for young birds. And then there are birds that regularly raid the nests of other species and eat their young. American Crows and Common Ravens can often be seen flying to their nests with a young bird in their beak. Their raids always result in a cacophony of protest from the small birds being victimized. A few days ago I heard a chorus of vireo alarm calls and looked up to see the mob in hot pursuit of a Blue Jay. Yes, even our beautiful jays are on the list of unusual suspects for murderous crimes performed on a hot, summer day. The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

much wiggle room, there is no doubt this weekend’s Diversity Festival is something for which I can sacrifice some of that precious free time. Planned as a day filled with music, vendors, food and more in and around Renfrew’s Low Square July 7, and bookended by Dragon’s Breath, a theatrical performance featuring community members, the festival encourages the community to open its eyes and arms to those around them. The Diversity Festival is about tolerance and acceptance of everyone. Of course the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual and transgendered community is included in this everyone and is an important segment of society to make feel welcome and accepted. In fact, my personal interest in this festival was borne from a desire to increase awareness and acceptance for the GLBT community. Teen suicides, bullying and intense instances of homophobia are among the reasons this issue sits closer to my heart than some. In July 2005, when Canada became the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage, we ran an opinion piece I wrote applauding the move. The letters, phone calls and emails, most reasonably civil if not intolerant, that followed, were numerous. More than one reader was incensed, some were irrational and if I had a nickel for every Bible verse I was quoted at that time, well, I’d have a few bucks at least. The most disturbing? A copy of the column, the last one I’ve written (until now), with words scrawled, black and block-lettered ‘You support sodomy and bestiality.’ Threw me for a loop, all that excitement, and indicated to me there is work to be done. And it’s not just the GLBT community that needs our

Add It Up

SHERRY HAAIMA support. So do those of various cultures, religions, socio-economic statuses and physical abilities and this event recognizes and celebrates the similarities and the differences in each and every one of us. The Diversity Festival is not a pride parade and organizers are clear that it will not resemble the adult-themed pride events seen in cities that festival naysayers worry it will become. Renfrew and its neighbouring communities are filled with people giving endlessly of their time and providing vital support for countless important organizations. The Diversity Festival’s catalyst, Marcus Magdalena, is among those stepping out to try to make strides in education and acceptance of others. An out-of-the-closet transsexual male, the Toronto area native, who now calls Renfrew home, started the ball rolling with his 2011 performance, Unicorn With a Cape. That was followed by Memoirs of a Genderless Warrior. Both performances explored his journey through gender identity issues, addiction and depression Both, in a compelling and poignant way, shed light on how it must feel to be confused and rejected and alone.

Arnprior firefighters work on a pesky fire on a deck at a McGonigal Street home last Friday.

Burning deck threatens home

0705.R0011485917

EMC news - At least the blaze was close to the fire hall. It didn’t take long for Arnprior firefighters and OPP to arrive on the scene after a wooden deck caught on fire at a McGonigal Street home June 29. The house is right behind the fire hall. Fire chief John Okum says the fire department was paged at 4:53 p.m. after Paramedics going to a nearby call noticed the smoke. By the time firefighters arrived, the deck was in flames and the house’s vinyl siding was beginning to melt. However, police and passers-by were using a fire extinguisher and a garden hose to help contain the flames. Police also evacuated some youth who were in the home but had not noticed the fire. Okum said the fire’s cause is undetermined, but it has been ruled accidental. He said people should be extra careful with any kind of fire because the hot, dry weather has made the area extremely dry. Cigarette butts should be carefully extinguished and barbecues should be operated at least three metres from a structure and more if manufacturer’s specification indicate so, he added. He also cautioned smokers against butting out in plant pots, because the peat moss and fertilized soil can smoulder for hours before bursting into flame. The Arnprior fire department has had a couple of calls recently about such fires, he said.

Bylaw won’t subject skateboarders to ‘a witch hunt’ Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – It was likely a first at Arnprior town hall chambers: 10 young men sporting skateboards intently observing a committee meeting. But when it was learned on Facebook that the policies, procedures, and bylaws committee was set to discuss legal issues around skateboarding and similar activities in town, they obviously wanted their opinions heard. The June 27 meeting had staff present an proposed updated bylaw that affects anyone on rollerblades, skateboards, toy vehicle or similar devices. The original bylaw dates to 1969 and includes many aspects covered in other town bylaws or provincial legislation. There are also two existing bylaws that deal with the same topic. However, one says a ban applies in the downtown core while the other mentions the whole town. If approved by full council, the new one would restrict activities on sidewalks (skateboarding, bicycling, and the like) in the downtown core at all times. “Such activities are also prohibited anywhere else in the town if same obstruct pedestrians, interfere with business activities, create a public nuisance or present a danger to either pedestrians or motorists,” reads a staff report to the committee. Clerk Jacquie Farrow-Lawrence made it clear that the town’s bylaw officer wouldn’t target skateboarders as a result of any new bylaw. But if the skateboarders were creating “a nuisance” – meaning someone calls town hall to complain – by setting up ramps on the road or similar activities, they could face a $65 fine. “He’s responding to complaints,” FarrowLawrence said. “He’s not going to go on a witch hunt.” Prompting the youths to attend the meeting was a run-in with bylaw officer Jim McBain,

who told them skateboarding is not allowed on any street or sidewalk in town, according to Bev Hicke, a parent who spoke at the meeting. She said she understands the need for a ban on busy downtown sidewalks. But she also wants the town to encourage kids to be outside, getting exercise, and avoiding vehicles that damage the environment. NO STREET HOCKEY

Hicke is also unimpressed with how farreaching the bylaw would be. Someone could call in a nuisance complaint about kids playing street hockey. “I’m disappointed. If kids are not allowed to play hockey or basketball, when is it going to end?” she said. “I think it’s going to extremes. They’ll be stuck in the house.” McBain said the streets are no place to play. They are for cars. Councillor Lyle Anderson, committee chairman, said a new park will likely be built in the Riverwood Estates subdivision near where Hicke lives. He added that he gets complaints about skateboarders, but doesn’t know how many he’s gotten this year. Farrow-Lawrence didn’t think any complaints were called in to town hall this year. “It just takes one accident and there would be a concern,” she said. Farrow-Lawrence went on to say the municipality must protect itself against litigation. The wording of bylaws restricting activities such as skateboarding does just that. She repeated that it doesn’t mean kids will be targeted. “There’s no witch hunt going around looking for these things,” she said. “But the municipality must be concerned with what it says in its bylaws. “There are millions of dollars at stake.”

Skateboarders rolled down to a town hall advisory committee meeting last week, worried that a new bylaw will restrict their mode of transportation. Town staff say it is important that the municipality protect itself should an accident occur.

Haaima: Valley’s warm and welcoming for the most part Continued from Page 10

The Ottawa Valley, for the most part, is a warm and welcoming place. Case in point, Marcus, who, coming to live near his twin sister and her family, also found the love and support and friends he needed to get healthy and thrive. He is back doing what he loves and where he belongs – onstage, preparing for Dragon’s Breath. And while many were welcoming faces and had kind words as he settled and found his way around small-town life, some were not. He joined others in noticing wonderful, productive people moving away to find the freedom they needed to live as themselves or others living closeted lives, preferring to keep their relationships or sexuality secret rather than be one of just several individuals widely known to be gay. He, along with numerous people in Renfrew and surrounding communities, recognized the need for more education and acceptance at the local level - of the growing diversity in our community, be it cultural, religious and beyond - and follow-

EMC lifestyle – A high level certification course to assess French language tests is being offered to public elementary school teachers in Arnprior this week. The Diplome d’étude en langue française (DELF) certification course offers teachers the opportunity to become an assessor/examiner for the DELF test, which is the only recognized test world-wide based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Teachers will also get an in-depth perspective on the philosophy of the framework that has inspired the writing of the new curriculum guidelines in all FSL branches. The course was scheduled to run Tuesday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at A.J. Charbonneau school. Participants will be attending the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) 2012 Summer Academy. Teachers across the province have registered to take part in over 40 “dynamic, resource-rich” curriculum courses in July and August as part of the 10th anniversary of the Academy. Courses, planned and taught by ETFO members, are designed to provide teachers with practical skills and resources to use in their classrooms. For complete course descriptions, please go to www.etfo.ca and click on ‘Summer Academy’.

Carry spirit for life, learning forward: ADHS valedictorian STAFF

EMC lifestyle - Instead of remembering high school as the best time of our lives, “let’s carry that spirit for life and learning forward and make the rest of our lives just as meaningful as the time we have spent together in this school,” Arnprior District High School Class of 2012 valedictorian Will Twardek urged his classmates at their Commencement ceremony June 28. Twardek was among 173 graduates in the spotlight at the celebration at the school that packed the gymnasium. A large number of awards and scholarships were given out including the Governor General’s Medal for top academic student Maria Pecora and the Lieutenant Governor’s Community Volunteer Award to Jordan Flick. “At ADHS we have each explored new things, carved out our unique paths, and set the foundation for our future,” Twardek said in his valedictory address. He encouraged his fellow graduates to be proud of what they have achieved, move into the world with open hearts and open minds and make every moment count. “When I look around the room today, I see doctors, tradesmen, police officers, business owners, accountants, and scientists. But no matter where our life takes us, whichever path we follow, we must always remember one thing; we are and always will be – Redmen,” he said. Twardek said that “a bunch of Valley kids from places like Kinburn, White Lake, and Braeside” have come together in Arnprior for four years of high school and developed mentally, physically, and emotionally “as we learned inside and outside of the class.” ADHS provided “many roads to find and develop ourselves,” he added. He pointed out that students have benefited greatly from participating in school drama, music, clubs and athletics. He noted ADHS athletes have excelled in many sports in the last couple of years. “However, it was not just the successes in these sports that made it worthwhile, it was working together and learning good sportsmanship; all skills that bring success,” he said. On behalf of the Class of 2012, Twardek thanked the school’s teachers, guidance councillors, office staff, custodians, cafeteria staff, and bus drivers, as well as the students’ families for their support. He also said that the graduates should thank

We provided each other with respect, support, and good times, and this has shaped not only our friendships but our lives,” he said. The graduates were also given words of encouragement by principal Neil Farmer and school trustee Norm Hazelwood. Red Velvet sang O Canada and Where Are You Now and Half Metre Voices performed the class theme song, Life Uncommon. Twardek, Pecora and Flick were among 48 ADHS students earning Ontario Scholar status. The others were Sydney Barr, Tyler Black, Rachel Boersma, Alexandra Boese, Alyssa Brown, Aidan Chappell, Rachel Chennette, Wendy Chennette, Hugh Colbert, Emma Cooper, Patrick Foley, Chanelle Fortin, Kyle Fraser, Maureen Freemark, Kaleb Gibeault, Scott Glover, Cole Gordon, Joseph Gravelle, Jessica Griffith, Melissa Hudson, Taylor Jackle Spriggs, Hannah Jones, Jaimie LeRiche, Eva-Marie Major, Blair Marcellus, Derek McCarvill, Aspen McLeod, Kaitlyn McLeod, Jennifer McNulty, Robert Moore, Daniel Palubiskie, David Parsons, Melissa Plascott, Jennifer Reuter, Thomas Schroeder, Michael Smith, Nicolaas Smith, Victoria St. Michael, Ash-

EMC sports – The provincial government is urging anglers to “introduce a friend to ďŹ shingâ€? next week. The annual Ontario Family free ďŹ shing week runs from this Saturday, July 7 to midnight Sunday, July 15. It is a provincewide opportunity for Canadian residents to ďŹ sh Ontario waters without the otherwise mandatory ďŹ shing version outdoors card. Several area ďŹ shing derbies have been scheduled to take advantage of the free-ďŹ shing period. The annual Calabogie Bass Derby runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, July 7. The derby headquarters will be Barnet Cottage. The Westmeath and District Recreation Association annual Kids/Parents Fun Fishing Derby is set for the same day, from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Ottawa River at LaPasse. Algonquin Provincial Park is also hosting a ďŹ shing derby Saturday on WhiteďŹ sh Lake from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The annual Douglas Lions Kids Fishing Derby is set for Sunday, July 15 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Lions will be set up ďŹ shing headquarters at the Douglas Beach on the Bonnechere River. Many of the events and festivals around the province not only provide opportunities for people to ďŹ sh, but also to learn about proper techniques, ethical angling and how to protect ďŹ sh and their habitat Sponsored by a diverse range of government and non-government organizations, the licence-free period is designed to remind people of the recreational and economic value of Ontario’s recreational ďŹ shery. The groups are urging anglers to introduce family and friends to the delights of ďŹ shing. For more information about the week, visit the website www. ontariofamilyďŹ shing.com.

We would love for you to meet

A very focused and nervous Melissa Bishop of Eganville stepped to the starting line just before 3:10 p.m. in Calgary Saturday. She didn’t have to win the race, she didn’t even have to run a specific time, but she had to finish in the top three to realize her dream of qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games in the women’s 800 metres. Just over two minutes later, Bishop was celebrating a second-place finish behind Lemlem Ogbasilassie of Montreal. She had clinched a berth on the Canadian Olympic team along with third-place finisher Jessica Smith of North Vancouver. The nail-biting was over, following a pedestrian pace to start the women’s 800-metre final that several thought would be fast, to allow potential qualifiers Diane Cummins of Victoria and Ogbasilassie a chance to make the team. Bishop and Smith had already broken the Athletics Canada A standard of 1:59.90, so they were in the driver’s seat. But with a slow pace and the tactical positioning that goes on in the two-lap race, favourites can easily be eliminated. But not this day. Bishop, 23, followed the field’s time of about 68 seconds for the first lap, then started to move up from sixth place in the tightlybunched pack. “I was pretty comfortable where I was,� she said later. “I wasn’t panicking at any point.� Everyone started their kick with about 200 metres remaining, as Bishop continued to move up. She held second place, off the shoulder of Ogbasilassie, as they entered the homestretch. “When she came down the straightaway, I thought she should be okay,� said her dad, Doug, who was watching from the stands. The runners maintained their positions, finishing in 2:07:37 and 2:07.56, as Smith just held off a charging Cummins for the coveted third spot, 2:07.70 to 2:07.79. A summer earlier, Bishop deliberated over whether to pursue her master’s degree studies, or take a year off to try to qualify for the Olympics. Even Canadian Running magazine didn’t mention her as an Olympic candidate, calling the Olympic A standard a long shot for the contenders. But Bishop’s decision to train full-time paid off, as she just eclipsed that A standard. The Olympic trials finished Saturday, when some big stars stumbled. Foremost in that category were two world-class 100-metre hurdlers. Perdita Felicien false-started out of contention. And Priscilla Lopes-Schliep hit a hurdle and finished of the top three, despite expectations that she might battle for an Olympic medal. “It hasn’t really sunk in. I’m very excited about everything that has been going on,� said Bishop after she and 25 other Canadians were named to the Canadian track and field Olympic team Sunday. During the breakfast for athletes and their families, special guests included Olympic decathlete and journalist Michael Smith and

Melissa Bishop gets the top-three finish she needs, at the Olympic track and field trials in Calgary, to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games. Canadian chef de mission and past Olympic swimming star Mark Tewksbury. “Four years ago, at the Olympic trials, I didn’t even make the final,� said Bishop after becoming an Olympian. The excitement for her extended to the stands Saturday, where Bishop’s entourage included family and friends from the University of Windsor, Renfrew County and Calgary. Among those present were her parents, Doug and Alison, and brother Jonathan, coach Dennis Fairall, former Eganville residents from the Merrick family who now live in Calgary, and aunt Donna Hawkins, who now has more newspaper clippings to hang at Dr. Rouble’s dental office in Renfrew. “It’s so exciting now,� said Melissa’s dad. “For all the stress, the result makes it all worthwhile. “I don’t think it’s really sunk in. but there’s times it (what she’s accomplished) brings tears to my eyes.� “Man, it’s exciting,� added Alison. “We’re just so thrilled. She’s fulfilled her dream. She’s talked about this since she was a little girl.� At the same time, she hopes her daughter’s rise in the world of track and field motivates other Ottawa Valley kids in a sport that “seems to be a dying thing in high school. “I think this will be a real inspiration to get out and try something different (like track and field).� With her first Olympic race nearly a month away, Aug. 8, Bishop said she’d love to reach the semi-finals or set a personal best. But right now, the rookie Olympian said she wants to extend a huge thank-you to people in the Valley for all their support, through emails, phone calls and participation in the trivia night or run-for-Melissa runs. “I wish I was there to see everybody. It’s crazy that so many people have been behind me.�

EMC news - Declining enrollment due to an aging population in rural regions is continuing to have an effect on teacher jobs. The Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) recently laid off secondary secretarial staffing, secondary teaching staff - including a dozen from Arnprior District High School principals and vice principals, consulting, administrative and special needs education staff. About 80 per cent of the $119-million budget goes toward salary and benefits. However, there is spending on infrastructure for students. All RCDSB students will be able to bring their own wireless devices to school next September because of an investment in leading-edge technology in the 2012-13 public school board budget. Students will be able to bring their own wireless devices such as smartphones, laptops and tablets to school and have access to the Internet and their e-mail as well as many educational tools offered online. RCDSB teachers will be able to incorporate 21st century learning technologies into their lesson plans, says the board in a release after the budget was passed at the June 25 meeting. And for students without their own wireless device, RCDSB schools will have more devices available to them in 2012-13 than ever before. The 2012-13 budget will focus on “giving students the advantages they need to excel in and out of the classroom,” says the board. This year the RCDSB will unveil its new website, which will include sites for all 31 RCDSB schools and the board’s home page. All RCDSB teachers will have the ability to post lesson plans, host wiki’s, and post homework and learning materials, as well as classroom calendars. The RCDSB is developing a new data warehouse (Skopus), which will store and combine various data sources into one location so all student data can be analyzed and used in the

development of the board and school improvement plans as well as in the development of individual student programs. The RCDSB is investing in video conferencing that will allow staff and students to collaborate on educational opportunities locally and around the globe. Other pilot programs are currently being considered for the 2012-13 school year to further enhance students 21st century learning opportunities. Last year there was a nearly $2 million investment into board information and communication technologies as part of the three-year Information and Communication Technology plan, which provided an infusion of new and enhanced resources that will help RCDSB schools provide a 21st century education. The RCDSB upgraded the Wide Area Network (WAN), allowing students greater access to digital learning and technologies that are beneficial in providing an enriching learning environment for students and efficient operational support. The RCDSB piloted a Laptop for Learning program for Grade 7 and 8 students who have made the transition to RCDSB secondary buildings that host students in those grades that will continue in the 2012-13 school year. The RCDSB committed budget dollars towards investments in more Interactive White Boards, increasing the number of classrooms with the technology as well as upgraded file servers and information technology infrastructure to allow students faster and wider access to real-time learning experiences, which will enhance learning. All the investments, and many more made by the RCDSB as outlined in the 2012-13 budget, are aimed at improving the quality of education the nearly 10,000 students attending 31 schools in the Renfrew County area.61YOGA-ANIMALS

Three area students who suggested names for a Boyd and Rose MacLaren foal born on Arnprior’s 150th birthday paid a visit to the McNab-Braeside farm on July 3. Marley Blok, left, recommended She’s A Prior Lass. Hannah McMullin came up with Sham’s Prior Tease. Anthony MacLaren suggested 150th’s Dancing Tease. The American Quarter Horse Association has final say on the filly’s name. The contest winners were presented with gifts that included Arnprior-opoly and other items, and were introduced to McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell and Arnprior Mayor David Reid. Boyd says the newest member of his farm is fitting in well, but still prefers mom to getting a photo taken with people.

SECOND SECTION

Adult class valedictorian graduates at age 77 John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

Arnprior Adult High School valedictorian Michael Donnelly is congratulated by his grand-daughter Brittany Findlay, who is also on the verge of graduating high school.

EMC news – It’s never too late to graduate from high school. That was evident at the Arnprior Adult High School and Program for Alternative Learning graduation ceremony June 26 at Arnprior District High School. Among those receiving a high school diploma was class valedictorian Michael Donnelly, who last went to school in 1952 in Nova Scotia when jobs were plentiful and it was common to leave school early. After a gap of 60 years, Donnelly officially graduated June 26 at the age of 77. He not only completed four grades in the past school year, but he graduated with honours. He had an 80 per cent plus average, noted teacher D’Arcy O’Brien. “He was an exceptional student.” He said Donnelly was inspiring to his classmates, overcoming obvious pain from a problem hip to make it to class and provide input daily. “He set the tone in the classroom,” O’Brien said.

“His message was ‘if I can do it, you can do it too’.” How did Donnelly come to return to school after such a long time? He took an eight-week computer course last spring at the adult high school and did so well he asked instructor Sue Bruemmer what it would take to get his Grade 12 diploma. He said it was a “life-long dream” of his to finally graduate. When last September rolled around, he had enrolled with Bruemmer’s encouragement and nine months later was not only a high school graduate, but the spokesman for his class. “It’s very special for someone to come back at that age,” said Bruemmer. “He was a great student … always asking questions and passing with ease.” “I couldn’t believe it when he told me he was going back to school,” said his grand-daughter Brittany Findlay, who is finishing her high school education at Arnprior District High School this year. “I think it’s great.” Back in the 1950s, Donnelly joined the Armed Forces and was posted all over Europe, as well as several spots

in the Canadian North, including Alert and Whitehorse. When he was stationed in Carp, he moved is family to Arnprior, where he has lived ever since. In presenting Donnelly with the social science award, O’Brien noted he was teaching a unit on the cold war and Canadian bases in the north when his prize student spoke up to inform the class that “I was there.” It’s not often a teacher has a student who can give a first-hand account of history in the making more than 50 years before, he said. In his address, Donnelly said being the class valedictorian is a great honour and achievement and stressed the importance of getting a proper education. “First we must be thankful for the great opportunity afforded us by the Renfrew County Continuing Education Program,” he said. “Thanks to Darcy (O’Brien), Sue (Bruemmer) and Gail (Flick), we were able to complete the program and … see the results of our labour.” See LIFE-LONG, Page 34

Adult Education High School students overcome challenges to graduate EMC lifestyle - The Arnprior Adult High School and Program for Alternative Learning held its graduation ceremonies on the evening of June 26. For those in attendance, it was a very proud moment as they walked up on stage to receive their individual awards and high school diplomas. Family members and friends were there to help them celebrate. The evening started with the graduates entering the gymnasium led by Melissa Friske playing the bag pipes. Norm Hazelwood, the local trustee with the Renfrew County public school board, was present. Loran Young, the principal of the Adult High School and Continuing Education program, told the graduates they had reached a milestone in their lives and talked about what it took for them to succeed. He commended them on overcoming challenges and hoped they would con-

tinue on their educational journey. He thanked staff members Gail Flick, Sue Bruemmer, Darcy O’Brien and Matt Arseneau for helping the graduates to achieve their goals. Roger Clarke, the Director of Education for the Renfrew County District School Board, wished all of the graduates the best. The graduation ceremonies for the Adult Education classes are the highlight of the school year, he said. “Each person has faced adversity to be here and has achieved something that is difficult.” O’Brien told the graduates that they should be “extremely proud of yourselves, because we (teachers) are.” A number of individual awards were handed out during the ceremony. See GRAD Paee 34

‘Life-long dream’ realized Continued from Page 33

Donnelly noted that the graduates’ families played an important role. “Without some support or nagging, we would not keep a good schedule. I know my wife used to tell the girls she never thought at 80 years old she would be making lunches for school. But every morning my lunch would be ready for me when I left for school and I thank her very much.” Donnelly said that when he left school in 1952 in Dartmouth, N.S. jobs were plentiful. “If you were honest, showed up on time and willing to work, there were lots of jobs,” he said. “However without high school you were always at the low end,” he added. “Today education is everything; without high school it is very hard to find a job.” Leaving school early is not the answer, he stressed. “There was never a year that went by where

I hadn’t wished that I had stayed in school, even though I am now retired and at the ripe age of 77 I still wanted to complete high school.” Now thanks to the continuing Education Program, “I have completed a life-long dream,” he told the graduates. “It has been a long year and when that alarm clock went off at 7 o’clock in the morning, I would sometimes question what I was doing. But when I got to school and greeted everyone and got started, it all seemed worthwhile,” he said. “I will miss all the friends I made and all the laughs we had. For all the graduates, I wish you the best of luck and success in your future endeavors. For me it has been an interesting time where I met many interesting people and can now understand why education is so important.”

EMC Events – Celtfest is coming up this weekend (July 6-8), and promises plenty of fun and excitement in its 16th year. Beginning Friday night and running through Sunday, Almonte’s annual party features three jam-packed days of Ottawa Valley and Celtic entertainment – performed in one of the best natural amphitheatres in Canada – Gemmill Park. To boot, Celtfest offers an exclusive group of artisans and vendors of specialty goods with a Celtic flair, and there will be no shortage of food and refreshments. The Lil Celtz Zone returns, and offers face painting, dance lessons, children’s games, petting zoo and more. Attendees will also want to watch out for Liam the Leprechaun, “a special friend of the Almonte Celtfest.” According to the Celtfest website: “Like all leprechauns, Liam enjoys partaking in mischief and fun! He also is known to carry his gold coins wherever he is. If you spot Liam, make sure you say ‘hi’ and you might be one of the lucky ones to leave with a piece of his gold!” Thousands are expected to attend the rain or shine event. The main stage headliners this year are The Elders from Kansas City, Missouri. Since coming together almost 15 years ago, the group “has set the Celtic-rock world internationally on its ear thanks to a mix of stories of Irish history, traditional instrumentation fueled by creative energy and a superb stage presence, and a unique sound that falls somewhere between Van Morrison and U2.” There is no admission charge for Celtfest’s main stage performances at

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE

Gemmill, but donations will be accepted. Organizers ask that no pets be brought to the event. The festival is fully supported by the Town of Mississippi Mills and partially funded by way of the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage. In addition, a number of area businesses lend support. PUB NIGHT

There is nothing like live Celtic entertainment in the ambiance of area pubs and restaurants. Celtfest Pub Night is back on Friday (July 6), and runs from 8 p.m. until close. In Almonte, Corkery Road, – a fourpiece band that specializes in high-energy, infectious and traditional music – performs at the Barley Mow, while the Naismith Sports Pub features the Celtic sounds of Cratur. Carleton Place’s Ballygiblins will also feature music. SATURDAY

Celtfest’s 2012 workshop program has a wide variety of offerings. A special session in intermediate fiddle features Cindy Thompson, one of the country’s premiere combination fiddle players/stepdancers. Joanne Griffin, presently working as a freelance musician, teacher, arranger, publisher and therapeutic harpist, leads a workshop in Celtic harp. For newcomers to Celtic music, this year’s Celtfest is offering one-and-a-halfhour sessions in the tin whistle (Chuck Quick) and bodhran (Art Solomonian). Workshops run from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Almonte Old Town Hall. Each

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE

session costs $20. Participants are asked to arrive 15-20 minutes in advance. To pre-register, contact bbarton@xplornet.com or 613-268-2285. Pre-payment is not required. Opening ceremonies take place in Gemmill Park at 2 p.m. on Saturday (July 7). The entertainment line-up on day two, which ends at dusk, is as follows: The Barley Shakers (2:15 p.m.), Les mots dits Anglais (3:10 p.m.), Elly Squared (3:55 p.m.), Cindy Thompson & Jake Butineau (4:40 p.m.), Julie Fitzgerald & Friends (5:40 p.m.), Brandy ‘n’ Port (6:50 p.m.) and at 8:10 p.m. The Elders. Amateur performances will be showcased on the side stage throughout the afternoon, and a huge jam session – the O’Connell Acoustic Session Tent is open to all musicians from 2 to 8 p.m. DAY THREE

Celtfest starts back up Sunday with a Fiddle Mass at Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church – beginning at 10:30 a.m. and featuring the Sunday Morning Fiddlers. Main stage entertainment in Gemmill Park, from noon until 6 p.m., is as follows: Monday Night Fiddlers (noon), Triple Trouble (12:30 p.m.), Dai Bassett (1 p.m.), Celtic Cross Dancers (1:40 p.m.), Neil McDaniel with Kyle Felhaver (2:20 p.m.), Salty Dog (3:20 p.m.) and at 4:30 p.m. The Elders. Again, amateur performances will be showcased on the side stage throughout the afternoon, and the O’Connell Acoustic Session Tent is open from noon until 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.almonteceltfest.com.

IN MEMORIAM

RYAN, Stephanie Her father’s little princess, Her mother’s baby girl, Her sister’s greatest confidante, Her brother’s cultured pearl. A loving, caring, smiling girl. A beauty from the start, The music she loved, her dearest friend, a country girl at heart. Life is like the giant waves, That dip and curl and spin, We sometimes get caught up in that, and feel we just can’t win. Why did those waves take her away? I guess we’ll never know. She had built a wall around herself, And let her troubles grow. And now she’s in a greater place, In God’s loving gracious arms, An angel watching over us, A precious, priceless charm. Love Mom, Dad, Cassie, Geoff and Family

LOST & FOUND

STEPHANIE

Feb 22, 1981 - July 3, 2007 In the quiet darkness of the night, Brings out my greatest fears, Did you know how much you meant to me? Then I cry my silent tears, I dream of you and look into your face, I see the one I knew before in another time and place. What I would give to go back in time for just a little while. So I could see you laugh again and see you smile. Now the memories are all that’s left. Such a permanent goodbye, And it seems, they will never stop those silent tears I cry.

It is sad to walk the road alone, Instead of side by side, But to all, there comes a moment, When the ways of life divide, You gave me years of happiness, Then came sorrow and tears, But you left me beautiful memories I will treasure through the years.

It feels just like several days ago, We had you here with us, But instead it has been five long years, And we’ve yet to still adjust. Sometimes we stop and cry for awhile, But then your memories dry the tears, We has so many good times together, Rarely sadness, rarely any tears. We miss your warm smile, Your laugh and that gentle voice, One more day would be enough. If only we had the choice, You’d be so very proud of us all, We’ve each come so far, We know that you’re still with us though, Which helps us all to carry on, We know some day we will meet again, And our family will reunited on the other side.

HAPPY TRAILS Photo by Chris Couper

McNab/Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell plays the role of distant ancestor Kristy Campbell during the McNab Days Heritage Trails event held Saturday. Kristy discusses the importance of the ‘new’ mills with local resident Andy Kalnins. Visitors who braved the heat were rewarded with lemonade, homemade shortbread, and a genuine Gaelic welcome from ‘Kristy’. The event featured three separate stations along the McNabBraeside Recreation trial. Archives president John Smith doled out historical information and sold seven Township Papers CDs at Poole Steet and Division entrance. Available for $20 from the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives, the CD contains over 1,700 images and documents from 1825-1880. For more information, contact the archives at 613-623-0001. At the third location, the McNab-Braeside Fire Department and storytellers Bill and Gloria Hamilton played host at the Milton Stewart entrance to the trail.

Hunting in history Photo by Derek Dunn

Chuck Chapman is outside the Arnprior District Museum on Canada Day ready to answer questions from folks heading to Robert Simpson Park or Hydro Park. Chapman shows off a collection of typical tools hunters would have used in olden times. He holds more than a little admiration for men who could survive months on end in the bush, but also understands the lure of a home-cooked meal and warm shower. “I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone,” Chapman says, chuckling at the idea of making a career out of hunting.

Chocolate cake and raspberries make an easy summer dessert EMC lifestyle - This raspberry-flavored chocolate cake makes a simple and delicious dessert for a summer supper or party. The fudge cake can be made a day ahead, then sliced and arranged on individual serving plates. Arrange some fresh raspberries beside each piece, then add a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt or ice cream. This is light and refreshing. This recipe calls for raspberry pancake syrup, and I found some at the Independent Grocer store. Be sure you get what is labelled as “pancake syrup.” There are other types of raspberry syrup which are very thin and meant for mixing with water or summer drinks. They just don’t work in this recipe, and neither does raspberry jam. I’ve tried them both. Only raspberry pancake syrup will do.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CAKE

4 squares semisweet baking chocolate 2 tbsp. white sugar 1/2 cup raspberry pancake syrup 1/2 cup butter or block margarine, softened enough at room temperature to mix easily 1 1/4 cups white sugar 3 eggs 1 2/3 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/3 cup milk Butter and flour an 8” cake pan. In a microwavesafe bowl, combine the chocolate, raspberry syrup and 2 tbsp. sugar. Microwave on

high for one minute, then stir. Microwave on high for another minute. The mixture will be hot enough to finish melting the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted, then set aside to cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, or margarine, with the 1 1/4 cups white sugar. Add the eggs, one a time, and beat until thoroughly combined. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add about onethird of the flour to the creamed egg mixture.

Using the electric mixer, beat until the flour is completely incorporated. Add about 2 tbsp. of the milk, and mix again until well combined. Continue adding the flour and milk alternately to the batter, beating well after each addition. O c c a s i o n a l l y, scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the chocolate and raspberry syrup mixture to the batter. With a spatula or long-handled spoon, stir this into the batter until there are no streaks of white or chocolate. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 F for 55 to 60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out sticky, bake for another 5-10 minutes, then check again. When the cake is done, remove it from the oven. Set the pan on a wire rack, and cool completely before serving.

It’s a poor farmer indeed who can’t feed his family EMC lifestyle - From now, until the crisp fall days ďŹ lled the air with the scent of burning leaves, our house smelled of simmering sugar and tart vinegar coming off the Findlay Oval. It was pickling and preserving time. And the smells hung onto our clothes for days as if we had been sprayed. And we would notice that just about everyone at the Northcote School smelled the same way. The huge vegetable garden would ďŹ nally show the results of Mother’s constant attention, and yellow beans, carrots, beets, cucumbers,

blood-red tomatoes, and just about any other vegetable you could name, were all ready for the picking. As well, wild strawberries, mostly found along the CPR tracks that snaked through our farm would already have been turned into jam. Raspberries, growing in great abundance in a secluded spot in our dense bush, and hauled out in milk cans, now sat in jars and sealers of every description. The jams were thick and sweet, but the preserves were a different matter. They were

My View From Island View

Failure So I was giving some thought to failure, not the most uplifting topic but something that has been on my mind recently. I have a friend who has to take an unexpected test and is having a mild mental breakdown, worried they may fail. It got me thinking how we often use arbitrary measures created by others to judge ourselves and how we allow these measures to deďŹ ne our achievements as a success or failure. A good friend of mine chose to home school her children for this very reason and it was the kids who wanted to experience school in the traditional sense that led to her relinquishing her teacher status and placing her children in the local school. Both are thriving in their own special way. Who decides if we are successful or failing? Is it society, family, friends? Or is it how we view ourselves in our own eyes? Some people say we only fail if we keep repeating the same mistake over and over again never learning from our mistakes. Others think that if everything is not perfect it is impossible to be successful. I have failed at many things over the years, jobs, friendships, ďŹ nances but the worst of all is the few times I have failed myself. I think having

strong values about what is right for YOU is important as well as developing strong boundaries about what is acceptable and what is nonnegotiable can go a long way to ensuring success in your own eyes. When I asked some of the men and women who live at Island View what their biggest failures were and what they learned from them, I received a variety of different answers. One woman very much regrets the time a few years ago when she hit a car in a parking lot and left the scene. The worst part of the incident for her was the fact that her children were in the car, witnessed the event as well as her response to it. For her, the important lesson learned was the value she holds in being a positive role model for her children. From then on she realized her kids were always watching and would need to accept mistakes as a part of life and would beneďŹ t from positive examples of how to cope with mistakes in a calm and respectful manner. She realizes the importance for both her kids and herself.

Another resident conďŹ ded in me that one of his biggest failures was his difďŹ culty caring for his wife in her failing health. As her needs surpassed his ability to cope, he suffered from panic attacks and his health deteriorated so badly that he couldn’t manage any longer. He learned from the experience that it’s ok to ask for help and realized that sometimes you can’t do everything all on your own. Ultimate failure is the inability to learn from mistakes. When we recognize these experiences as opportunities to learn, choose not to hide them away out of fear and embarrassment and are willing to share our missteps with others that is when the real learning can take place. Some call this wisdom.

sweet too, but the berries always oated to the top of the jars, leaving a thick sweet syrup in the bottom, which I was known to drink right out of the jar when Mother wasn’t looking. Every glass jar that had come into the house over the past months would be saved for this time of year. Washed thoroughly, and then boiled in the big copper kettle on the stove, they were of every shape and size. And always there was a small pot of wax on the very back of the stove, usually on the reservoir, ready to pour over the jars holding the jams and pickles. It was unusual if Mother had to buy new wax every year, because since the last pickling and preserving session, when the wax was removed from a jar, it was rinsed off and put in a cardboard box in the summer kitchen, and reused time and again. Goodness knows how many years the same piece of wax had made the rounds, melted down again and again. Last year’ crop of preserves and pickles, stacked on a swinging shelf in what passed for a cellar, had gotten low. Fresh sheets of the Renfrew Mercury would be folded and placed on the shelves, ready for the new batches of jars and sealers. What we called the cellar, wasn’t really a cellar at all. While most of our neighbours had a dug-out you got to from a trap door in their kitchen,

you could only get into ours from outside the house. Two big at doors, on a slant from the ground to the side of the house, had to be hoisted and laid back to get down into our cellar, which was nothing more than a sandy pit an ancestor of Father’s had dug out a century before. A swinging shelf was above the sand, and attached to the oorboards of the underside of the house. It was a dark, dank place that scared the starch out of me every time I was sent down. Vegetables were buried in the sand, and my brother Emerson further amed my fears by telling me he knew for a fact that was where snakes spent the long cold winters! Mother’s recipes were ones she was given by Aunt Bertha Thom from the farm next to us, or Mrs. Beam, the wonderful neighbour, who as well as treating everyone in the Northcote area for minor afictions, was also known for her dill pickles and spiced crabapples, both of which always won prizes at the Renfrew Fair. Mother had come from New York where pickles, jams and jellies were bought at

the grocery store, and “doing down� vegetables and fruits was as foreign to her as making homemade lye soap, all of which she mastered with the help of neighbours. And it didn’t take her long to catch on to harvesting the garden! There was scarcely a meal back then that didn’t have Father’s favourite pickles in a bowl on the table. He said no dinner was complete without chili sauce or yellow beans done in a brine. Mother could serve up turnips, potatoes and even a bowl of sauerkraut, but Father always asked; “Got any of that chili sauce and those yellow beans?� My sister Audrey would jump up and dump out a goodly portion of each and put it on the table. Back then, the Depression was all around us. There was no money for frivolity. We learned not to ask for something as simple as new hair ribbons, or store-bought underwear, or a toy we may have seen in the Five and Dime Store in Renfrew. We were barely able to buy coal oil for the lamps, or a needed piece of harness, or gas for the old Model T. But our table was always ample. Vegetables, preserves, a sauerkraut and apple barrel in the summer kitchen, and a smoke house full of meat ... and I heard it said more than once, “it’s a poor farmer indeed who cannot feed his family.�

Retirement home licencing mandatory EMC news - Ontario implemented changes July 1 to a couple of regulations and fees. The regulations include changes to: • the Public Hospitals Act to allow nurse practitioners to admit patients to hospitals, helping to make the health system more efďŹ cient and contributing to reduced wait times; • the Retirement Homes Act, to include mandatory licensing of retirement homes to protect residents from abuse and neglect and ensure staff are properly trained; • the Building Code Act, to increase safety and minimize incidents of falling glass from balconies. The changes also include updates to fees for some services - some of which haven’t been changed for 20 years. The “modestâ€? increases will help recover the actual cost of providing the service. Both the Auditor General and the Drummond Commission on the Reform of Ontario’s Public Services recommended that where the Province charges a user fee for a service, that fee should recover the full cost of providing the service.

EMC lifestyle - Getting right to the point: the reality is, without the community’s financial support, we at Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home would not be able to offer the vital service the Care Coach Para-Transit provides. The Care Coach, a specialized transportation service for persons of all ages, receives no municipal, provincial or federal government funding. For the past five years, Seniors At Home hosted the annual Dare to Care Telethon in order to raise funds for the continuing operation of the Care Coach. Once again reality hits. The expenses started to outweigh the amounts raised. Though we truly appreciated all the volunteers who assisted in the past telethons, and for the monies raised, we are now approaching this crucial fundraiser with a Mail-Out-Campaign titled ‘Keep the Wheels Turning’ to be delivered to all the homes within Arnprior, Township of McNab-Braeside and surrounding areas. Right now in our communities, seniors and individuals of all ages with special needs require your financial support. You just never know when you or a loved one may require our specialized transportation. “Over the past several months, the Care Coach has come to play an important and much appreciated role in the life of our family,� said Valerie Werely of Arnprior. “Mom lives at the Grove Nursing Home and with the Care Coach specialized transportation her quality of life has been greatly enhanced. We highly recommend this great service to other families. Thanks to each one who supports this service which means so much to us and to others in our community.� The United Way’s Community Matters Survey in 2005 stated there was a need in our community for Para-transit transportation. With many dedicated hours the necessary funds were raised and with a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation the Care Coach came to be in February 2008. Now it is 2012 and we continue to offer the only Para-Transit Transportation within our communities with no government funding. Since 2008 our Care Coach has been on over 7,000 trips locally as well as to Renfrew, Pembroke, North Bay, Fitzroy Harbor, Pakenham,

Constance Bay, Almonte and Ottawa, with an average of over 200 trips per month. “The Care Coach program has been transporting residents of Autumn Leaves Lodge for many safe and happy years,� said Ken Chapman, executive director, Autumn Leaves Lodge in Braeside. “Colin Borshevsky, the Para-Transit driver is friendly, careful, courteous, plus always considerate with our residents. Without the Care Coach, many persons would have no transportation available to attend senior day programs, doctor appointments and many other obligations. “We consider the Care Coach an essential service for all living within Arnprior and the Township of McNab-Braeside as well for our residents.� The 2012 Dare to Care Campaign has been created to help realize the funds required to ‘Keep the Wheels Turning’. And in order to keep our seniors living independently, the life of the Care Coach depends on you and your financial donation. “It is the community’s generosity that is necessary to make sure this essential service remains active and viable in our community,� said Dennis Harrington, executive director, Seniors at Home Program. Every household within Arnprior, Township of McNab-Braeside, Burnstown, White Lake, Fitzroy Harbour, and Kinburn will receive a letter requesting donations, arriving in a bright yellow envelope with return address. You are requested to return your donation in this supplied return-envelope, either by mail or drop off at our office 106 McGonigal St. West, Arnprior, Ont. K7S 1M4. Please make your cheque payable to ‘ABM Seniors at Home’. Credit card donations can be made by calling 613-622-CARE (2273) between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. Don’t wait until you or a loved one loses their independence. After opening and reading the letter, please ‘Keep the Wheels Turning’ by making your donation today. The campaign is brought to you in part by the following caring businesses: McDonald’s Arnprior, Reid Bros., PCS Computers, ReMax broker Ted Kelly, sales representative John O’Neill of Royal LePage Gale Real Estate, Bernice Horne of Century 21 and Mulvihill & Murray.

PINK TOUR VISITS ARNPRIOR Photos by Sherry Haaima

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, with the support of Shoppers Drug Mark and CIBC, is on the road for a summer-long Pink Tour to promote the importance of breast cancer screening and the early detection of cancer. The message is that the sooner breast cancer is discovered, the greater the range of treatment options and a better chance of survival. The tour hit Arnprior on Thursday, June 28, making it one of more than 90 stops in communities across the province. Above, showing their support for the pink tour, from left, are owner of Arnprior Shoppers Jessica Lu, Sudesh McEwen of CIBC, CIBC branch manager Shannon Olmstead, run champion Gillian Schreiter, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CEO Sandra Palmaro, Ola Armstrong of the Prior Chest Nuts, Arnprior Mayor David Reid, and Jeanette Grant of the Prior Chest Nuts. The bus also made a stop in Pembroke, where RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant paid a visit. “I was pleased to accept the invitation from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation to participate in the Pink Tour,” said Gallant. “Figures from the most recent year show that only 67 per cent of eligible women were screened.” Therefore, it is important that bus visitors are able to sign up on the spot for a mammogram with the Ontario Breast Screening Program, she added.

Above, Arnprior Mayor David Reid adds his signature to the many on the Pink Bus. Left, people receive a tour of the Pink Bus during its stop in Arnprior.

GARDENS, ART AND STRAWBERRIES IN BURNSTOWN Photos by Chris Couper

The hard-working kitchen staff, right, pause from their duties at the Strawberry Social at the Burnstown United Church during Saturday’s Heritage Home and Garden Tour. The event was hailed as a huge success by organizers, who tempted tourists with strawberry tarts, tea and a silent auction. Just over 200 people attended the tour. Below, artist Richard Gill poses beside a group of clay irises, a work-in-progress. Gill opened the doors to both his heritage home and to his Fog Run Studio and gave visitors an opportunity to explore and ask questions.

New area residents, Rick and Louise Houseman, along with son Jim, set out to explore the Burnstown area during the Heritage House and Garden tour. Recently moved to Burnstown from Ottawa, the Houseman family said the tour was a great way to familiarize themselves with the history of the town. Right, organizer Jane Flain shares a laugh with Adele McLeod. Flain said the tour drew in a great deal of traffic from Ottawa and beyond.

PETS

Your Community Newspaper

Pets, heat prostration and vehicles – a deadly combination EMC lifestyle – It amazes me that with temperatures in the high 30s and low 40s pet owners are still exercising their dogs during mid-day sun (11 a.m. to 4 p.m. when the temperature is at its peak) or leaving them in vehicles to go shopping. I cannot state louder or clearer, for the health and

safety of your pet, leave your pets at home. Heat prostration can often occur on moderately warm days, but the problem is always worst during late July and August. Cooler morning temperatures may prompt pet owners to take their animals with them on that morning trip the grocery store and while

they are inside, the thermometer is rapidly rising. Dogs and cats respond to heat differently than humans do. The time it takes to run just a few errands can mean the difference between life and death for the trapped animal. The most frustrating sight that one animal lover can

witness is a dog or cat literally boiling to death while the owner is off in some store. Although the windows are opened slightly and the vehicle is parked in the shade, the interior of a vehicle on a summer’s day can reach well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. For those of you who must travel with a pet in the spring and summer, please use some common sense. On a warm, sunny day, windows collect light, trapping heat inside the vehicle, and pushing the temperature inside to dangerous levels. On an 85-degree day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. For most pets, temperatures above 100 degrees can quickly be fatal. The early signs of trouble are panting and a warm, dry skin. Within minutes, the ani-

mal may have a blue tongue and gums, a staring expression and a high temperature. Vomiting sometimes occurs, followed by collapse and, soon after, death. All of this may happen within 10 minutes. Pets, more so than humans, are susceptible to overheating. While people can roll down windows, turn on the air conditioner or exit the vehicle

when they become too hot, pets cannot. Pets are much less efďŹ cient at cooling themselves than people are. Dogs are designed to conserve heat. Their sweat glands, which exist on their nose and the pads of their feet, are inadequate for cooling during hot days. Panting and drinking water helps cool them, but if they only have overheated air to breathe, dogs can suffer brain and organ damage after just 15 minutes. Short-nosed breeds like pugs and bulldogs, young pets, and seniors or pets with weight, respiratory, cardiovascular or other health problems are especially susceptible to heat-related stress.

ALL SUMMER MERCHANDISE IS ON SALE - ALL SALES FINAL

EMC lifestyle – It may look like math, but it’s really all about learning to read, as the Arnprior Public Library is going to the dogs this Saturday, July 7 from 10 to 11 a.m. “What could be better than cuddling up with a dog and a good book?� says Carolyn Swayze of Children’s and Teen Services at the Arnprior Library. Golden Retrievers, Lia and Chara, were a huge hit with kids during March Break’s Petsapalooza at the Library, so when Swayze realized they were dogs with a career in helping kids learn to read, she was quick to request the program for a summer visit. “Anything that sparks an interest in reading and inspires children to want to visit the library is a welcome addition to our children’s programs.� Ottawa Therapy Dogs offers a unique literacy program using Reading Education Assistance Dogs to make reading relaxing, motivating and fun. R.E.A.D. dogs are registered, insured therapy animals who work with their owner/handler in schools and libraries across the National Capital Region as reading companions for children. While dogs may not actually be able to read (shhhh!), they do make great listeners. Their quiet, non-judgmental presence creates a comfortable environment that makes it easy for re-

luctant readers to relax and discover the world of books. It may sound crazy, but it works. The concept is simple, but the results are amazing. Kids who participate in R.E.A.D.’s weekly school program make great progress in reading and communication skills while building self-esteem, conďŹ dence and social skills along the way. The R.E.A.D. program was originally developed by Intermountain Therapy Animals in 1999 and introduced to schools and libraries in Ottawa and the National Capital Region by Chantel Hutter under the umbrella of Ottawa Therapy Dogs in 2004. Since then, Ottawa Therapy Dogs’ R.E.A.D. program has grown to nearly 20 volunteer dog/handler teams with rave reviews from educators, parents and kids. Ann Lambert and her Golden Retriever, Chara, will be back at the Library Saturday along with Hutter and her Standard Poodle, Jake (Jake is bilingual, so kids can bring along their French books, too). Registration is required to allow each child the opportunity to read one-on-one with Chara or Jake for 15 minutes. Space is limited, so register by calling the library at 613-623-2279. For more information about Ottawa Therapy Dogs, a local non-proďŹ t, and the R.E.A.D. program, visit their new website www.ireadwithdogs.ca. Julie Davies is Ottawa Therapy Dogs’ R.E.A.D. co-ordinator and a freelance writer.
