When Chris Couper was considering daycare options for his little girl, finding one that reinvests profits back into the service was important to him. The idea of a REGION for-profit REGION with potentially lower wages and/or inferior equipment didn’t sit well with him.

Evelyn’s Song raises funds for charity Tiffany Lepack
tlepack@metroland.com
The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful. “A mama shouldn’t have to bury their baby ... Daddies shouldn’t have such sorrow inside ... Rest now those tired eyes, you’ve been through so much in so little time ... Rest now this is not goodbye.” The lyrics describe the short life of Evelyn Furniss, daughter of Melanie and Jeff Furniss of Renfrew. Evelyn was born on July 27, 2015. In February she was admitted to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) due to uncontrollable seizures. She had vision troubles and it was discovered her cerebellum had stopped growing and would never grow again. She passed away on May 19 in her parent’s arms. Singer songwriter Danah-Lee Krieger from Arnprior is Melanie’s cousin. She knew going to the wake for Evelyn would be sad, but she said she was not prepared for how devastatingly heartbreaking it was. “It just doesn’t seem right for this to happen,” said Krieger. She could not bear to go to the funeral and while everyone was there she wrote Evelyn’s Song. “The words just came to me … mamas shouldn’t have to bury their babies,” said Krieger. “It came to me they were actually having to do this; they didn’t even get a full year with her.” The Furniss’ spent time at Roger Neilson House, a hospice on the grounds of CHEO. Krieger has released the song on all digital platforms for 99 cents with a portion of every song going to Roger Neilson House. Evelyn’s Song is an acoustic song with a few guitars, mandolins and she describes it as a folk song. She recorded it at Harbour Music, which has locations in both Fitzroy Harbour and Renfrew. This song was done in Renfrew and produced by David Campbell. Melanie and Jeff have heard the song and they are very touched by the fundraiser. Krieger says they are healing in their own way. “I couldn’t put myself in their shoes,” said Krieger. “They are taking the time they need and doing it in their own way. I can’t imagine. You will never become whole again.” She hopes the song will raise money and also hopes it will bring healing to others. “Writing the song was therapeutic. It was a source of healing for me. I hope it is healing for anyone
who hears it or anyone who has lost a child,” said Krieger. “I really believe this song will bring healing because music does that.” She calls this a unique fundraiser. “It will not just be one cheque. It will continually give back,” said Krieger. Krieger recently went for a tour of Roger Neilson House, which opened in 2006 to deliver palliative care services with a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists and support staff. It is a ‘home away from home’ for children and their families and it offers a number of services such as end of life care, grief support and more.

Downtown businesses likely to pay levy for parking Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Arnprior town hall will likely charge a “special levy” to downtown businesses to pay for additional municipal parking. Council received a report at the June 27 meeting detailing the history of parking in the downtown core, along with four options to deal with what has become a contentious issue dividing local businesses. The issue first arose in the spring when a new restaurant was exempt from providing parking spaces (a physical impossibility) and cash-in-lieu. The night club next door, opened a couple of years ago, was made to pay the cash-in-lieu – totalling $45,000. That’s when council asked staff for direction. Town planner Robin Smith explained how the town bought the municipal parking lot (behind Shoppers) in 1974 with money collected from businesses.
The next year businesses were made exempt from parking requirements. Then in 1981 a new bylaw said if a downtown business plans grow floor space – and attract more traffic – it takes responsibility for more parking spaces. The $75,000 municipal parking lot was paid for in 1995. Six years later saw the creation of today’s bylaw, allowing for cash in lieu. The money was unofficially earmarked for expanding parking, but never used until a few weeks ago when a new 24-space parking lot was announced for the corner of John and McGonigal streets. Smith cited a City of Ottawa report from a few years ago detailing costs related to parking spaces. The town will use similar figures to determine the cost of adding more spaces in Arnprior. However, council is first obliged to pick one of four options outlined by staff. Smith’s report offers some advice by pointing to the benefits of collective respon-
sibility versus each individual business’ burden. “Providing a shared parking resource promotes good urban design by discouraging or eliminating a proliferation of surface parking lots with many individual access driveway connections, thereby creating better streetscapes and more compact urban development,” reads the report. The first option relinquishes businesses from responsibility for parking. The second has business pay cash-in-lieu of parking. The third reduces the cash-in-lieu to zero. The fourth, preferred by Mayor David Reid and Reeve Walter Stack, sees cash-in-lieu reduced to zero and a special levy applied to all downtown businesses to pay for future municipal parking. “I’m in agreement with this. We’ve had inconsistencies in the past, and I think this will alleviate that,” Reid said, adding that parking meters or pay-and-display
Notice
systems are out of the question. “This approach is a good one. It’s been done in the past, and people are familiar with it. And it will clear up some of the inconsistencies.” The idea would be to charge the levy in a way similar to the now-defunct business improvement area (BIA). Staff indicated that businesses are saving considerably with no BIA fees to
pay, but that the levy would be “much less,” according to CAO Michael Wildman. If the BIA collected $35,000 per year, the levy would take in $20,000. Businesses that paid cashin-lieu would see that money transfer as a credit to their special levy. Stack was concerned with how far back the credit would apply. Some businesses have paid it in the last few years, but others
paid it as far back as 2003 in the case of Shoppers and Steve & Denis’. Coun. Frank Dugal asked about ice cream vendors and others that operate downtown. He was told that landlords would be responsibly for paying the levy. Dugal, too, favours option four. Council has until late August or early September to consider the options.

Five free things to do in town this summer Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Notice of Road Cut Permits At the May 9th, 2016, meeting of Council, By-law No. 6585-16 Road Activity By-law was passed which will now require anyone undertaking any type of excavation within a Town of Arnprior road allowance to obtain a road cut permit. Details of the Road Activity By-law can be found on the Town’s website at the following link: http://arnprior.ca/frequently-requested-by-laws/. A road cut permit application form can similarly be found on the Town’s website at the following link: http://arnprior.ca/wp-system/uploads/2013/12/Road-Cut-Form.pdf. The fees, security, and warranty period associated with the road cut permit are detailed in the by-law and on the application. The requirement for obtaining a road cut permit will come into effect on July 15th, 2016. Applications are to be submitted for review at Town Hall, 105 Elgin Street West, Arnprior, with the appropriate fees. Additional information may be obtained by calling the Public Works Department at the Town of Arnprior at 613-623-4231.

Broke and bored in the ’Prior? Fear not, there’s plenty to do and it won’t cost you a cent. Here’s our top five free things to do this summer in Arnprior. 1. Lifeguards are stationed for the season at Robert Simpson Park as of this week. Bike down to the park for a picnic under one of the many beautiful trees, then take a dip. Plenty of fun for the whole family, but remember to stay well clear of the area where the Madawaska flows into the
Ottawa. 2. Travel to all times and places at the public library, all while chilling with a coffee. Newspapers and magazines, world lit, you name it and the small town library that punches far above its weight either has it or will likely find it for you. 3. Cool off at the rink in Nick Smith Centre. You never know who will be on the ice, from little ones bumping into one another to - possibly - pros and former pros. It’s worth stopping in to check it out. 4. River water not your thing? Tim Hortons hosts free swims at Nick Smith on
Fridays from 2 to 3 p.m. 5. And last but not least – enjoy nature’s umbrella at Gillies Grove or Macnamara Trail. The forest canopy and exposure to negative ions have some swearing by the health benefits of a walk in the forest. As the old saying goes, the best things in life are free. Floating in a river watching the clouds go by; napping under an ancient white pine while squirrels busy about; reading poetry in quiet corner of the local library. Arnprior isn’t such a bad place to be broke after all!

Then there is the board of directors aspect, again the handbook: “Once every three months, the board of directors meets to discuss the operations of the centre, and families are invited to join in the meetings and take part in the decision being made, as well as be informed. At this time, parents can get an idea if they would be interested in joining the board of directors, and run for a spot on the board during the annual general meeting.” Couper said he was never given an opportunity to join a meeting, let alone become a director. That same federal website lists three directors, including the owner and at least one relative. It took Couper a while to put the inconsistencies together, but it is now obvious. “I definitely feel deceived,” he said. “We specifically chose to send our child somewhere that we thought was a notfor-profit daycare. I just don’t understand the motivation to hide the fact that it is a for-profit enterprise.” Part of the confusion lies in the location. Arnprior, situated in the County of Renfrew, aspired to be structured differently than city locations – meaning it was set up as a not-profit. That would allow it to qualify for a “subsidy fee agreement,” whereby the county would pay all spots taken by lowincome families. But according to county documents, Children’s Universe has yet to prove it is
a not-profit. Owner and CEO Patrick Gomes, reached by phone, insists the Arnprior location is non-profit but didn’t offer documents to prove it. He merely asserted that not turning a profit is equivalent to notprofit. “If you are not making money, that makes you a non-profit. There are no profits; what else do you call a non-profit?” Gomes said. “This centre would have been closed a long time ago if I hadn’t put money in.”

“The Best Thing That Ever Hit The Market” for GOUT … Get It Out! Gout is referred to as a recurrent attack of an acute inflammatory arthritis in the joints. The joints are usually red, very tender, hot and swollen. Gout often sets in in the feet or hands, but there are many other forms of gout able to appear throughout the body. It is caused by elevated uric acid level in the blood. The uric acid crystallizes and these crystals can deposit in your joints, tendons and the surrounding tissue. I see these uric acid crystals frequently, when patients seeks me out to have their blood analysed. Besides of course many other things we find in the blood, the uric acid crystals are very easily characterized due to their unique shape. As part of the Live Blood Analysis, I provide guidelines how to rid the body of these toxins in order to prevent conditions like gout to become chronic. But even more frequent, I am treating patients for another condition and as a side comment they’ll mention their gout attack and discomfort. So, it happened recently with an older lady I’ve been treating for a while. She started complaining of a swelling in her foot and the “damn” throbbing pain. “I can’t even wear any shoes!” she said annoyed. The gout had set in on her right foot, on top of the foot, underneath and in her big toe. I gave her some remedies and at her next visit she smiled and said in her raspy voice:“This gout stuff is great stuff. I even told my daughter about it.The swelling is down, the throbbing pain is gone and I am getting my shoes back on.” she smiled. “This is the best thing that ever hit the market!” she laughed. Suffering from GOUT?….Get It Out!

Rain, rain come our way T
he pockets of rain that hit this area on the weekend were welcome, although some Canada Day organizers and revelers might disagree. Mother Nature could have picked a more opportune time than prime time Canada Day to drop a dousing on us, but the rain is desperately needed. As we have been through one of the driest Junes on record, the rain received so far in July is only a splash compared to the drenching we need. River levels are down dramatically (10 per cent of normal in some small tributaries), gardens and lawns are dry, and wells are low. And if the long-range forecast is even close to being correct, things are not likely to improve anytime soon. Sun-lovers may rejoice, but the droughtlike conditions can cause some serious difficulties, especially for those dependent on wells for water. It is already causing ill-feelings between rural neighbours. A local resident who has already suffered through one dry well period is urging the newspaper to remind people to be mindful that Environment Canada is predicting a drought this summer and not hog water. “The experience of having no water is nothing I look forward to anytime soon,” she writes. She reports she has a neighbor who insists
on running her sprinkler 24/7 even during the hottest of days. “We need to consider being thoughtful in these times and conserving water in the heat is a good place to start,” she says. Here, here. She points out there are ways to save water without parching the homestead. She notes she has a large garden, but uses rain barrels for watering. That’s one of the recommendations being made by the Missisippi and Rideau Valley conservation authorities. With flows in these major rivers only 15 to 25 per cent of normal, the groups suggest people capture rain to water lawns and gardens and avoid using pressure washers to clean houses, driveways, decks and fences. They note that “significant rainfall” over a large portion of the watershed will be required to return the watershed to normal conditions. Folks in the Madawaska and Bonnechere river watersheds are more fortunate when it comes to river flows. But the water table can drop quickly and coupled with tinder dry forests, it could be a recipe for disaster this summer if people don’t adapt to the new reality. So enjoy the sunny days, and keep yourself hydrated, but keep in mind that wasting water in the summer of drought could have dire consequences for not only farmers and well-owners, but us all.
One metre for cyclists good manners To the Editor: I was surprised by the negative reaction of drivers in Ottawa to Ontario’s new law requiring that drivers give cyclists one metre of room when passing. This seems like common sense and good manners. Some drivers are complaining that cyclists
are using roads they think they paid for with fuel taxes. Drivers who think this need a reality check. A 2008 Transport Canada study showed that all the gas taxes, fuel fees, licence fees and vehicle charges cover barely one-third of the $40.4 billion spent at that time on road building and maintenance.

Speeders a reoccurring problem on Kippen Road To the Editor: Re. speeders in McNab-Braeside (Chronicle-Guide, June 30). This is in regard to drivers on Kippen Road, White Lake.

Bicycle helmets are critical safety equipment Play safe in summer To the Editor: Bicycle helmets are critical safety equipment; not wearing one is irresponsible and flies in the face of public health and injury prevention. Safe cycling starts with the cyclists themselves. This is an indisputable fact and make no mistake about it. A study released in the summer of 2010 found that mandatory bike helmet laws are effective in reducing cycling injuries and fatalities and are no impediment to ridership numbers. Dr. Ryan Zarychanski, an assistant professor of community health services and internal medicine at the University of Manitoba, who co-authored the study that investigated this matter, said that an “all ages” law should be adopted by all provinces. Cycling on roads meant for cars, trucks and other motorized vehicles can be a dangerous form of transportation. Incidents attest to this danger. But, the good news is that bicycle crashes have gone down in
line with the general drop in traffic fatalities in Canada. That said, still each year between 50 and 70 cyclists are killed by cars. Statistically, a cyclist is safer than a motor vehicle driver or passenger – plus, cycling offers positive health and environmental benefits. Cycling is good for one’s health, improves one’s balance and coordination, helps with weight control, enhances one’s general wellbeing and promotes mental health. It is also an enjoyable way to get around. Of the number of cycling fatalities now, the majority are incurred by cyclists who are over 19 years of age. More than 60 per cent. Of these fatalities, close to 80 per cent were not wearing a helmet. The lower rate of deaths and injuries for child cyclists is good news. Community bike safety programs and increased helmet use deserve much credit for this improvement. But why has the population of adult cyclists’ fatalities gone up? Demographics are likely a factor; the under-20 age group is now a
smaller part of the population than it was 15 to 20 years ago. About 90 per cent of cycling fatalities are caused by cyclists being struck by motor vehicles. Adult cyclists are more likely to ride in heavy traffic or lessthan-ideal conditions. For instance, individuals who cycle to work or tour long distances increase their exposure to the hazards of traffic. Intersections can be particularly challenging. MOST FATALITIES PREVENTABLE
Head injuries, which account for an estimated twothirds of cyclist fatalities, can be largely prevented by wearing a helmet. Children must wear a helmet by law in most provinces. Adults, by and large, are given a choice as to whether or not to protect their heads. Would fewer adults be killed in bike crashes if more wore a helmet? According to the Ontario Coroner and the Zarychanski study, the answer is yes! The Canada Safety Council, the Brain Injury Association of Canada and other reputable public health and safety organizations also say the answer is yes. Then why are so many adults so reluctant to wear helmets? Is this not really an issue of public health, injury prevention and commonsense … or simply a case of far too many slow learners! That said, is the way to the future compulsory helmet legislation for all riders, regardless of age? Emile Therien Public health and safety advocate Ottawa
To the Editor: As a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program and a Safety Ambassador for the PLAYSAFE Program, I have met kids who have lost limbs in accidents that could have been prevented. With the weather warming up, it’s a good time to teach kids about the dangers that can come with summer, such as lawn mowers, boat motors and playing around
water areas. I encourage parents to go on a “safety walk” with their children and point out the hazards in their area. By spreading the PLAYSAFE message, children learn to spot the danger before they play, and become more conscious of potential dangers. It only takes a split second for an accident to happen, so let’s all PLAYSAFE! Rachel Quilty, 17
Cyclists subsidize drivers Continued from page 8
The figures for that year are typical. The rest of the money comes from general tax revenue. People who don’t own cars and who would probably rather see better public transit and bike lanes are subsidizing drivers and cars with their tax money. If anyone is getting a free ride, it is drivers. Of course, cyclists should obey the rules of the road. Most do. How many drivers never exceed the speed limit?

Community Living workers sign first deal NOTICE OF OPEN HOUSES AND PUBLIC MEETINGS FIVE YEAR COUNTY OF RENFREW OFFICIAL PLAN REVIEW (AMENDMENT #25) PURSUANT TO THE PLANNING ACT, TAKE NOTICE THAT THE COUNTY OF RENFREW WILL BE HOLDING OPEN HOUSES AND PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THE FIVE YEAR REVIEW OF THE COUNTY OF RENFREW OFFICIAL PLAN The County of Renfrew is updating its Official Plan. An official plan is a policy document that guides the physical growth, use of land and development of a community. The Ontario Planning Act requires an official plan to be reviewed and updated at five year intervals to ensure it meets the needs of the community, has regard to provincial interests (e.g., protecting ecological systems, conservation of mineral aggregate resources, appropriate locations of growth and development), and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The proposed updated Official Plan affects all lands within the County and therefore a location map is not provided. The five year review of the County of Renfrew Official Plan will eventually result in changes to the Official Plan by way of an amendment to the document (Official Plan Amendment No. 25 is the assigned number for this purpose). The County of Renfrew is responsible for preparing and adopting Official Plan Amendment No. 25 and the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) is responsible for approval of the amendment. A draft of the highlighted and strikethrough version of the proposed updated April 2016 Official Plan (including all map schedules) has been prepared for discussion purposes and is available on the County of Renfrew website at http://www.countyofrenfrew.on.ca/departments/development-and-property/planning-and-land-division/ official-plans-and-amendments/ A copy can also be viewed at the County of Renfrew Administration Building located at 9 International Drive in Pembroke, or at any local municipal office. To engage, inform and seek input from County residents on the proposed changes to the Official Plan, a series of six open houses and public meetings have been scheduled that will follow the format below: 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. (OPEN HOUSE) – County staff will be available to meet, speak, and answer questions one-on-one with residents. 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. (FORMAL PUBLIC MEETING) – The meeting will begin with a presentation by County Staff on the Official Plan and the proposed changes. After the presentation any persons may provide oral submissions regarding the proposed changes. (It is requested that oral submissions be no more than 5 minutes.) OPEN HOUSES AND PUBLIC MEETINGS – DATES AND LOCATIONS 1) Monday, August 8, 2016 – Royal Canadian Legion Cobden Branch #550, 43A Main Street, Cobden Ontario 2) Wednesday, August 10, 2016 – Royal Canadian Legion Eganville Branch #353, 57 Veterans Way, Eganville Ontario 3) Thursday, August 11, 2016 – Township of McNab/Braeside Municipal Office, 2508 Russett Drive, Arnprior Ontario 4) Monday, August 15, 2016 – Community Hall, 574 Mill Street, Calabogie Ontario 5) Tuesday, August 16, 2016 – Chalk River & Area Lions Hall, 11 Kellett Street, Chalk River Ontario 6) Wednesday, August 17, 2016 – Paul J. Yakabuski Community Centre, 65 Arena Road, Barry’s Bay Ontario If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the County of Renfrew before the proposed Official Plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the County of Renfrew before the proposed Official Plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or the public body as a party. Written comments can also be submitted at any time before the adoption of the Official Plan Amendment by emailing them to officialplan@countyofrenfrew.on.ca or by writing to us at: County of Renfrew Planning Division 9 International Drive Pembroke ON K8A 6W5 If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan Amendment, or if you require further information, please make a written request to the email or mailing address noted above. NOTE: All comments and submissions received will become part of the public record. 10 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, July 7, 2016
Less than a week after reaching a tentative deal, developmental services workers with Community Living Renfrew County South ratified a two-year collective agreement on June 27. It is a first contract for the workers since they unionized almost two years ago. Retroactive to April 1, the agreement provides significant improvements to wages, benefits and working conditions for members, including: • a $1.20 -per-hour wage increase for all job classifications • 20 cents per hour retroactive pay for all employees for all hours worked from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016 • job security, seniority and layoff and recall language • a comprehensive grievance procedure • a comprehensive process for requests and approval of vacation time
• a new ‘sunset clause’ that removes letters placed on members’ files by the employer • movement through a wage grid that has been frozen since 2007 “We’re really happy with this agreement,” said bargaining team chair Derek Ouellette. “We needed to see wage increases across the board, as well as real job security, and we got it.” Ontario Public Service Employees Union president Warren (Smokey) Thomas was also pleased. “Workers deserve provisions like these. “I’m happy to see our workers at Community Living Renfrew County South have ratified the agreement.” Local 472 members work in the towns of Renfrew and Arnprior, supporting people who have developmental disabilities. They have been OPSEU members since August 2014.
FACT: water quality still a concern Continued from Page 7
Except for the berm footprint, the trees and soil are not to be removed. This decision upholds bylaw 2015-03. The board chair also ruled that he will accept submissions on the PAH issue before deciding if he will mandate this water testing. The township has been silent on water protection. FACT-MB points out that it has continued to incur debt since the hearing, specifically by continuing to pay a hydrogeologist to research, lobby and persuade the board to have this company do this water testing. “After being elected, township council has never shown any intent
to help pay for FACT-MB experts used at the OMB hearing and now afterwards,” says the group. “Therefore, FACT-MB can no longer continue to incur debt to try to protect the water of the ridge on its own. “So FACT-MB will not be sending submissions to the board on the PAH issue.” According to current legislation a temporary asphalt plant can still be installed in this quarry even if a permanent one is not allowed. “This last OMB ruling is another victory for the residents living around the Braeside Quarry, but all should keep in mind that water quality is still a concern,” says FACT-MB.

I’ve watched sapsuckers defend their wells against hummingbirds and the event is humorous because when a sapsucker lurches sideways to chase away a hummingbird, the intruder quickly zips around the back of the tree and immediately starts feeding on the other side of the woodpecker! The distinctive noise made by young sapsuckers attracts more than the attention of their parents. In Algonquin Park, Doug Tozer discovered that Black Bears also home in on that sound. The bears

climb nest trees, usually older poplars or beeches, and precisely bite into the wood where the bottom of the nest cavity would be, and then devour the young birds. Doug discovered that newly logged forests greatly increase the odds of sapsucker nests being depredated by bears. Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers play important roles in forest ecology. Apart from their diet, there is nothing sappy about these fascinating birds! The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Caring Connections 2015–2016 Mental Health Partnerships Benefit Patients
Patient & Family Advisory Council (PFAC)
Across the Champlain LHIN, Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) has one of the highest rates of patients with mental health issues who return to the Emergency Department within 30 days of their initial visits. Some of the mental health issues seen at ARH include depression, anxiety, substance abuse and schizophrenia.
This advisory council is a group of volunteer patients and family members from diverse backgrounds who have had experiences using the services of Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital (ADMH). These advisors work alongside hospital staff as quality improvement partners.
The clinicians at ARH wanted to ensure that patients with mental health issues had an appropriate experience by connecting them with the right care provider when it mattered most. This resulted in a formalized partnership with Renfrew County Mental Health and with Pathways Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services.
The goals of PFAC are as follows: to share ideas for the purpose of problem solving and improving the patient/family experience; maintain two-way communication between patients and the hospital; and give input on items that are important for both the hospital and patients/families. This past year PFAC advised the hospital on the patient handbook, way finding and a variety of instruction sheets that were given to patients and families.
Lise Lafromboise, Executive Director of Pathways Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services, noted the partnership would “better serve individuals who struggle with substance abuse issues Dr. Mark Borzecki, Chief of Emergency through strengthening and improving their quality of care and reducing emergency room visits.” These partnerships enable the emergency department staff to contact the appropriate agency depending on the mental health issue affecting each patient. “Within days of implementing the partnership results were already encouraging. We had two patients who needed mental health help. We got on the phone and the counsellors came right into the emergency department to speak with them. This is a positive step forward. We are seeing great results and I am very happy that we have a strategy here to help our mental health patients,” said Dr. Mark Borzecki. Keeping our adolescent patients in mind, ARH also entered into a partnership with Renfrew County Integrated Crisis Response System. The Renfrew County Integrated Crisis Response System is a collaborative with members from CHEO and all five Renfrew County hospitals, community mental health services, Addiction Treatment Services and Pathways, and mental health agencies as well as people and caregivers with lived experience. The key goal is that any child or youth in crisis will be able to access the right service at the right time.
PFAC members Cleo Fraser, Sam Pappas, Gina Pilon (Chair), Chantale Wall, Stephanie Prince, and Debbie Pierce.
Partners in Caring Foundation We encourage philanthropic giving to Arnprior Regional Health to enhance patient/resident and client care today and into the future. There are more than 30,000 people in our catchment area from Renfrew County, West Carleton and Mississippi Mills. We serve people through our Emergency Department, Outpatient Clinics, in our Operating Rooms, on our Inpatient floor, in the community through our Community Services and with long-term care at The Grove. Partners in Caring is also pleased to offer bursaries to staff members (totalling $50,000 over the last five years). These bursaries allow recipients to access ongoing education in their field and further skill development. We are grateful every day to everyone who takes the time to donate and support our most precious resource—local health care.
Reducing Resident Falls at the Grove Falls are the leading cause of injury among older Canadians with 20–30% of seniors experiencing one or more falls each year. It is not possible to completely eliminate all falls, but long-term care homes work with residents to minimize falls and maximize independence, autonomy and mobility. The Grove set a goal to reduce falls to 13.6% this year. An interdisciplinary committee was formed and, following best practices set by the Registered Nurses Association Ontario (RNAO), a fall prevention strategy was put in place. Among the initiatives implemented are huddles immediately after a fall to discuss what happened and how to prevent it from occurring again. Staff begin every shift with a focus on fall prevention, and programming was introduced before suppertime to enhance supervision and prevent restlessness in residents. These changes reduced the fall rate to an incredible 6.5%. Fall prevention team: Back row: V. Thennarasu (Physiotherapist), Joan Hughes (Director of Care), Kim Fraser (Recreation), Janet Crawford (Asst. Director of Care), Angela Fraser (RPN). Front row: Tracey McCormick (Manager Recreation), Christina Carnegie (Manager Dietary), Jill Gilles (RPN). Missing: Susie Wilson (PSW), Kathy Schlievert (Environmental Services).

health care organizations were 51%). A high response rate is critical to ensure that results are representative of the entire organization. We are very proud that 78% percent of staff indicated a positive response regarding satisfaction levels with current jobs, 61% of ARH 2016 (positive) responses met or exceeded 2015 responses, and 75% of 2016 (positive) responses met or exceeded 2014 responses. We are encouraged to note that 71% feel senior management communicates goals of the organization to staff; 83% believe their supervisor treats them fairly; and 81% understand how their role relates to the ARH Vision. Lower rated scores, results that have declined, and improvements that have not been achieved or sustained, also provide opportunities to address issues.
Outpatient Services Arnprior Regional Health offers patients and families a wide range of clinical services. • Allergy • Haematology • Audiology • Ophthalmology • Adult & Child • Orthopaedic Surgery Psychiatry • Dermatology • Preschool Speech & • Psychiatry Language Service • Plastic Surgery • Pediatrics • Rheumatology • Ear, Nose & Throat • Neurology In 2016, ARH welcomed Pediatrician Dr. Francu. • General Surgery • Urology
AROW Health Link Year 1 Report In 2015–16, the Arnprior Region & Ottawa West (AROW) Health Link implemented a business plan to improve the experience and outcomes of clients with complex needs who are high users of the health care system. The Health Link has been driven by the voices of clients (including patients, caregivers, community members, etc.) at all levels of service delivery, design, implementation, and evaluation. The co-developed client value statement “As a patient or caregiver, I value quality care that meets my needs,” has focused development efforts driven by client goals. Additionally, building strong partnerships between primary care providers, health care organizations, and community services has enabled 35 Coordinated Care Plans resulting in 36% fewer ER visits and the avoidance of unnecessary hospitalizations for these clients.
ARH Staff Members Survey says… ARH is a Great Place to Work Once a year Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) offers all employees the opportunity to complete an employee experience survey administered by a third party. Research confirms that a highly engaged workforce results in lower staff turnover and leads to higher patient/resident/client satisfaction. The survey information also helps to identify opportunities where we can improve employee satisfaction and the experience both organization-wide and specific to individual sites and departments. Our overall corporate response rate this year (including all full-, part-time and casual respondents from the hospital, Grove Nursing Home and community programs) was 62% (comparator

Facility Renewal and Capital Projects 2015–16
We have been planning a number of projects to improve our facility and continue providing a safe, comfortable environment to our patients, staff , physicians and community. In 2015–2016 we completed year two of our five-year facility renewal plan. With a focus on the comfort of patients, several rooms were renovated and refreshed along with the additions of new privacy curtains and blinds. Renovation and relocation projects were completed for both the pharmacy and physiotherapy departments. An additional $379,000 from the Hospital Infrastructure Renewal Fund was used to replace roofs on the 1960s inpatient unit and the historic McLachlin Building. The roof on the Primary Health Care Centre was replaced earlier in the year.
Community Services
The goal of our community services is to help seniors maintain their independence in their own homes. The Assisted Living Services Program is the result of The Aging at Home Strategy developed by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The services are provided day/evening/night, seven days a week, 52 weeks of the year. Seniors may also be caregivers. The Adult Day Program enables caregivers to take a break while their loved one attends social and recreational programs in an engaging environment. ARH received an honourable mention for the Community Connection award based on client-centred programs. Our variety of community-based programs partner to create positive health outcomes. One example is the adult day program and the Meals on Wheels (MOW) program in partnership with Arnprior Braeside McNab Seniors-at-Home. Day program clients create inspirational messages that are passed on to the MOW clients each day. The MOW clients look forward to receiving these notes and they, in turn, learn more about the program’s offerings. Equally, day program clients enjoy having an impact on people in the community. These simple messages have led to more clients and volunteers for both programs.
Auxiliary President’s Annual Report: April 1, 2015–March 31, 2016 This has been a busy and productive year. The level of dedication and cooperation is demonstrated by 18,865 total hours from our 145 volunteers. All volunteers are valuable and busy, but of particular significance are the funds raised by the Opportunity Shop, with the annual total a whopping $185,923.94. Three members of the ARH Auxiliary were announced by the Hospital Auxiliaries Association of Ontario as Provincial Life Members. In addition, six of our volunteers were the recipients of the Ontario Volunteer Service Awards. The Auxiliary took part in the annual Remembrance Day Services on November 11, 2015—Lesley Lapierre laid a wreath on our behalf. An Opportunity Shop Team did a spectacular job of decorating the hospital for the holiday season, lifting the spirits of staff, patients, volunteers and visitors. Several volunteers also represented the Auxiliary at the Tree Lighting Ceremony in December 2015. The Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon in April 2015 hosted by the Arnprior Regional Health at the Nick Smith Centre was most appreciated by the volunteers.
Residents of the Grove and clients of the Adult Day Program participate in a fitness session led by recreation staff.
Continued Support from the ARH Auxiliary
The Arnprior Regional Health Auxiliary made a significant donation of $215,000 to Arnprior Regional Health (ARH). The funds were used to help purchase two new pieces of diagnostic imaging equipment: an echocardiography (echo) machine and a portable echo. The regular echo is used for more than 1,000 patients per year. It is an ultrasound machine that creates pictures of the heart while it is beating and shows the heart valves and other structures. The portable echo is used by the Internist on the inpatient unit, and in the emergency department, especially in a trauma situations, to allow the doctor to see into the chest and abdomen for evidence of injury. These are both life-saving pieces of equipment for Arnprior Regional Health. “The dedication of the ARH Auxiliary is evident year in and year out. Their successes are truly amazing and their exceptional work contributes significantly on our journey to be recognized for exemplary care. Their donations allow us to purchase much-needed equipment and furniture at the hospital and The Grove,” said Eric Hanna, President and CEO of Arnprior Regional Health.
Two bursaries of $500 and one bursary of $1,000 were awarded to Arnprior District High School students at the graduation ceremony in June 2015. These students will be pursuing careers in nursing and allied health in the Province of Ontario. The Auxiliary approved a request for $265,000 from Arnprior Regional Health. Activity funds were replenished for both the Hospital (CCC) and The Grove Nursing Home. The Grove Nursing Home was allotted two payments of $500 and the Hospital was allotted one payment of $500 for the fiscal year 2015–2016. Your current executive team, elected to serve from 2015–2017, includes: Bernice O’Connor, President; Linda Fairfield, Vice-President; Cheryl Sunter, Secretary; and Lesley Lapierre, Treasurer. I would like to thank all the volunteers for the work they do. I would especially like to thank the executive, committee chairs and team leaders. As we look forward to the future we know that change within our organization is inevitable, but our volunteering will continue. Respectfully submitted, Bernice O’Connor, President

Canada Day car show in Hydro Park East outruns the rain Despite a looming threat of rain in afternoon, 115 vehicles attended this year’s Arnprior Canada Day Car Show at Hydro Park. With 100 per cent of the car show registration fees going directly to the Arnprior hospital Partner’s In Caring Foundation, the event raised $1,340. In addition, ArnpriorBraeside-McNab Seniors at Home hosted a barbecue that also raised $1,304.10 to go directly to its 23 programs. Tickets were also sold on a mega 50/50 draw and will continue to be sold throughout the months until the big draw Oct. 26 at the monthly Breakfast N’ Learn hosted by Seniors at Home at the Galilee Centre. With the morning bringing sunny, picture perfect weather, cars and trucks rolled in from as far north as Petawawa and south to Brockville, as well as a large contingent from western Quebec. However, given the inevitable threat of mid -afternoon rain, the day’s event would
see a flurry of activity from the volunteer judges and support crew to present awards prior to any sign of a downpour. A total of 29 awards were handed out, along with prizes for a classic car trivia. Some of the local winners included Peter and Pat Diotte of McNab-Braeside, Roger Diotte of Arnprior, Tony and Theresa Ralph of McNab-Braeside, Margaret Fisher of Arnprior, Bill Armstrong of Kinburn and Ronnie Roberts of Mcnab-Braeside. With impeccable timing, the first sign of rain started just minutes after the last award was handed out and the mass exodus ensued. Following the event, organizer Brian Estabrooks has received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback. He is looking forward to again taking the lead in organizing the event for 2017. Anyone interested in seeing pictures from the event can visit https://www.facebook. com/ArnpriorCanadaDayCarShow. BRIAN ESTABROOKS/SUBMITTED
Upon completion of the Canada Day car show in Arnprior, event volunteers gathered with Arnprior Regional Health’s Partners in Caring to present a $1,340 donation. From left are Garry Gowans, Glen Coules, Brian Estabrooks, Tyler Beresnikow, Keith Kehoe, Albert Baker, Andre Labelle, Alyssa Stack, Margaret Coules and Bonnie Kehoe. Car show volunteers missing from the picture include Stewart Gowans, Sandra Gowans, Will Fitton, Holly Maude, Em McKenzie, Talia Walsh-Estabrooks and Stephanie Skarica.

Summer camp welcomes kids to museum Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The summer camp program is back this year at the Arnprior District Museum, offering plenty for kids to learn and take part in. Participants will gain knowledge in a variety of topics, including the Great War, the royal family, gardening, insects, architecture and technology. They will also get hands-on learning by creating fossils, paper trains, finger puppets, musical instruments, lava lamps, compasses and more. Taylor Dunn is a summer student at the museum for the first time. She is excited to welcome kids to the Monday, Wednesday, Friday activities. “It’s about learning about the town of Arnprior,
what we do here, and about our role in the world,” said Dunn, who holds a history degree from Trent University and plans to attend museum studies at Algonquin College in September. Tyler Hill has run summer camps for four years now, starting at the museum as a high school student gaining volunteer hours. He said the kids – usually between the ages of 6 and 12 – have lots of fun at the museum’s summer camp. “I always enjoy working with the kids too,” he said. Two other summer students helping run the museum’s summer program this year are Nick Edge and Maddy Irons. The cost per day to participate in the camp is $7. DEREK DUNN/METROLAND For more, call the museum at 613-623-4902 or email Taylor Dunn and Tyler Hill host the children’s summer camp program at museumstudent@arnprior.ca. the Arnprior District Museum, beginning July 4.

Retirement celebration held for financial expert, community supporter After almost 20 years in the financial industry, Marlene McRoberts retired from Edward Jones Investments on July 1. Family, friends and clients gathered for a retirement celebration held for her at the Krave Bistro on June 27. Arnprior Mayor David Reid presented McRoberts with a certificate of appreciation for her contributions to the community as a business person and as a dedicated community volunteer. “It has been a joy and an honour to help people with their financial needs for so many years. I feel very blessed to have so many special people here to help me celebrate today,” said McRoberts at the gathering. RETIREMENT PLANS
McRoberts’ retirement plans include travelling and gardening. More personal time will also allow her to enjoy creative activities like drawing, painting and fused glass work. She says she has absolutely no concerns that she will be able to fill each day and find lots to do as a retiree. McRoberts opened the downtown office at 39 Madawaska St. early in 1997. She built a successful business serving the investment and financial needs of her clients. McRoberts added two new financial advisors to serve Arnprior and the surround-

ing communities in 2014 when Gabriel Leclerc and Jason Roy joined the company in town. To accommodate the expansion and the new advisors, Edward Jones opened a second branch office in Arnprior in Sullivan’s Rona Business Complex on Madawaska Boulevard. Leclerc has been serving the needs of customers from that new office over the last two years and Roy remains at the downtown office. Customer service has always been the top priority for McRoberts. She and her staff received the firm’s top customer service excellence award on multiple occasions. “The addition of the new advisors and the second office have allowed us to provide the best financial investment advice to even more area residents while continuing to focus on the high customer service we are so proud of,” she said. Edward Jones is a full-service investment dealer with one of the largest branch networks in Canada. It is a member of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada and the Canadian Investor Protection Fund, and a participating organization of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Including its affiliate, Edward Jones serves nearly seven million individual investors in Canada and the U.S. from more than 11,000 locations.

SPCA seeks public’s help to find Renfrew woman receives lifetime ban on owning animals remains of dog in Pembroke The Ontario SPCA is seeking information from the public as it searches for the remains of a dog that died in Pembroke sometime in mid-June. On June 20 the Ontario SPCA dispatch received information from a witness who alleges that a man had placed an elastic band around the testicles of a dog and a cone on the dog’s head in an attempt to neuter the animal. Unfortunately, the dog died as a result of those actions sometime Monday to
Wednesday (June 13-15). The owner of the dog has denied any involvement in the dog’s death and it is believed someone assisted with the disposal of the dog’s remains. The Ontario SPCA is asking witnesses or anyone who may have any information about the dog or the disposal of its remains to contact 310-SPCA immediately. The dog is described as a small brown ‘Chi-weini’ Chihuahua and Dachshund mix and lived in the Mary Street area.
Help animals, win beer

A Valley woman has been fined $6,000 and banned from owning pets. On June 20 Amanda Jennings of Renfrew was found guilty of six counts of animal cruelty under the Ontario SPCA Act and received a lifetime ban on owning animals. In October 2015, the Ontario SPCA launched an investigation after receiving information that animals in Jennings’ care were in distress. Two search warrants were executed at Jennings’ home, and four dogs were removed from her care under certificate of a veterinarian. The court heard evidence that the animals were underweight, one was in need of immediate medical care, and all were subject to unacceptable conditions. Jennings was found guilty of:
• causing four dogs to be in distress; • failing to provide adequate and appropriate medical attention; • failing to provide suitable and adequate food and water; • failing to provide sanitary conditions; • failing to provide care necessary for its general welfare; • failing to provide adequate ventilation. Jennings was also ordered to pay fines of $6,000 plus costs. She must submit to inspections from the Ontario SPCA to ensure she is not living with animals. “There is no excuse when it comes to failing to care for your animals,” said Steve Toy, senior inspector, Ontario SPCA. “We are pleased to see the judicial system take animal welfare so seriously in this sentencing.”

Arnprior District High School celebrates graduating class of 2016 Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The school gym was packed with soon-to-be graduates and their proud supporters at Arnprior District High School on June 27. Valedictorian Mikayla Davis focused on extracurricular and academics, along with teacher support and unforgettable friendships. Her address pointed to music, art and drama, Red Velvet (national silver medal winners) and theatre performances. Many took advantage of various activities and clubs, including robotics, Relay for Life and Free the Children. “Wherever we went,” she said, “we brought our red pride with us.” She talked of the importance of studying and tests, the day-before cramming, opting for euchre over homework. “Although our habits weren’t great, we still ended up to be valuable students.” Davis congratulated the football team’s first-place finish in the county, rugby girls’ trip to the provincial finals, a first-place win at Science Olympics, and a bronze in basketball. “I’d also like to say that we were lucky enough to have supportive and positive staff members,” she said, with a special nod to the departing principal Neil Farmer.

She detailed several awards won by teams and groups this year, then thanked staff before wishing her fellow graduates all the best in their future pursuits. It was a packed house in the high school gym last week for graduation. Students and staff filed in to enthusiastic applause before singing and speeches began.

ADHS supports academic achievement and ‘good people’: Farmer Continued from page 25
“It’s hard to think that we will be separated come September. ADHS took us as scared Grade 9s and shaped us into young adults,” Davis said. “Good luck and stay classy graduates.” Farmer stressed the school board’s goal is for students to excel at academics, but also to help nur-
ture “good people” who will give back to their communities. “To the graduates: believe it or not, we are going to miss you,” he said, to a chuckling audience. “We are proud of each and every one of you.” Among those having won numerous honours and awards this year is Oliver Jacob. He took home the Global Awareness Award and 11 others.

One ‘Sharp’ rug hooker at the market This is a “rags to riches” story. Well maybe not yet, but she is on her way. An x-ray technician by day, Joanne Sharp indulges a secret passion hooking rag rugs. Give this lady a couple of old sheets and they are transformed into an object d’art for your floor, wall, chair or table. Sharp says that she has always “been crafty,” but when her sisterslaw introduced her to hooking, she found her passion. She loves hooking not only because it keeps her hands busy as she relaxes in front of the TV, she is proud her contribution to the environment. Rag Rugs is an age-old approach to recycling textiles. The combination of colours and variety of textures is limited only by the creator’s imagination. ‘Hand-crafted Creations by Joanne’ is the newest vendor at the McNab-Braeside Market on Russett Drive just off the Calabogie Road junction with Highway 17. Meet Sharp, watch her hands fly and view her impressive display at this Saturday’s ‘It’s All in the Cards – Poker Run’. She also hopes to hook others into rag rugs and plans to set up MARY CAMPBELL/SUBMITTED an introductory course at the market. She also welcomes drop-offs of old Rag rug hooker Joanne Sharp sells her creations at the McNab-Braeside Market Sat- sheets, so do your bit for reduce, reuse, recycle. urdays from 8 a.m. to noon.

LP
Father-in-law, Grandpa, and Great Grandpa, Jack Lewis, who passed away on July 9, 2007. We will take this special moment to turn our thoughts to dad, thank him for the home he gave, for the things we had. We think about the fleeting years, too quickly gone for good, It seems like only yesterday, we would go back if we could. A time when Dad was there, always strong when things went wrong. He held our lives together; he strived so hard, he worked so hard and kept the family name. He taught us that hard work pays off and you reap what you sow. Our lives have been beautiful because he taught us how to give. In his firm and steadfast way, he taught us how to live. Dad, we love you and miss you always, Hilda (Jim), Keith (Linda), Norm (Sue), Ann (Bob), Leonard (Jean), Brenda (Sam), Randy (Marjorie), all your grandchildren and great- grandchildren Ken & Patricia & family

It was a celebration of helping entrepreneurs through business, exploration, start up, expansion and succession. That is how Darrel Ryan, board chair of Community Futures Development Corporation Renfrew County (CFDC), described the organization’s 30th anniversary. Ryan addressed a large group of well-wishers at the Horton Community Centre on June 28 as the organization marked the important milestone. “We will continue to be a catalyst in our region through community economic development, strategic planning and partnership building,” said Ryan. “These elements are essential to building healthy and strong rural communities.” CFDC was established in 1986 and is funded through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario; with the mandate to administer a community loan fund in support of small and medium-sized businesses. They also help businesses with training, coaching, access to expert resources and more. The CFDC are non-profit organizations with a volunteer board of directors staffed with business professionals and they have 269 offices across the country. Over its 30 years they have authorized $278 million in loans. Ryan called the current and past board of directors a dedicated group and thanked everyone for their efforts over the years. John Yakabuski, MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, told the crowd it was an honour to help them celebrate what he called a wonderful occasion. “Community Futures has been that little push for a lot of businesses time and time again,” said Yakabuski. “We really do appreciate the work you do, without you a lot of people don’t know where to turn. You have made a difference.” Yakabuski also presented them with a certificate of accomplishment for their work over the years. Jennifer Murphy brought official greetings from Renfrew County on behalf of Warden Peter Emon and also gave Ryan a congratulatory certificate.

Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, left, and City of Pembroke Mayor Mike LeMay were among the many who gathered on June 28 at the Horton Community Centre to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Community Futures Development Corporation Renfrew County. “Congratulations (CFDC) on 30 years of service in our communities promoting entrepreneurship in the pursuit of economic growth of the Ottawa Valley,” said Murphy. “Programs such as the Entrepreneurs Tool Kit, delivered through the county’s economic development office, provides a one-stop shop for business planning and tools to assist business start-ups. As a local business owner, I personally recognize how important a tool such as this can be when setting up a company.” During his remarks Ryan presented some impressive numbers on how powerful of an impact CFDC has had in Renfrew County. In 2016, the Conference Board of Canada completed a study of the Ontario CFDCs and their total economic impact. The formula used to calculate economic impact was that for every dollar invested, it increases the gross domestic product (GDP) by $4.50. “To highlight the successes of the Community Futures Loan Program in Renfrew County, we have disbursed 450 loans totalling over $24 million impacting the total GDP by $108 million,” said Ryan. “These loans have maintained and created 2,592 jobs since inception.” Renfrew Coun. Kate Windle also congratulated everyone for their success.“I have been so happy to have one name over the last 30 years to go to,” said Windle. “Thank you very much and keep it up!”

However, there was one other student whose memory was on many minds that evening. The class of 2016 would have included Sterling Toner if the Braeside boy hadn’t died of cancer in May 2011 when he was in Grade 3 at A.J. Charbonneau. It was extra special for Everett Armsden and Ivy Brodersen to be awarded this year’s Sterling Toner Memorial Award. The award is given out annually to the Grade 8 A.J. Charbonneau student who best exemplifies friendship, respect, caring and courage. Sterling’s father, Greg Toner, gave out the award.

The Arnprior Dragon Boat Club’s Draggin’ Behinds Team competed in the Tim Hortons Dragon Boat Festival at Mooney’s Bay June 24-25. The dragon boat festival is the largest one held in North America and saw about 200 teams compete again this year. The first day of competition had all teams racing 2,500-metre races. The best time of these two races was what was used to determine if you advanced to the second day. The top 75 mixed, 24 women’s and eight open teams advanced to the second day of competition. The Draggin’ Behinds’ best 500-metre time was 2:14.53 minutes, which ranked the team in 26th position in the mixed category placing in the D Division for competition Sunday. The team had three races, starting out with a 200-metre where it placed third with a time of 51.71 seconds, receiving a trophy.
The second race of the day was a 100-metre, and again the team placed third with a time of 26.90 seconds, bringing home a second trophy. The last race of the day was a 500-metre. The race was held but could not be counted as the clocking system failed. A decision was made to take the best times from the 500-metre races from the previous day in order to determine rankings. The Draggin’ Behinds had qualified third in this division and, therefore, received medals for their efforts. The team was extremely pleased with its results, as it improved in all of its times from 2015 as well as moving up a Division in the festival. The Draggin Behinds are now gearing up its practices as it looks forward to competing in the Arnprior Dragon Boat Community Challenge at Robert Simpson Park on Saturday, July 23.

Historian share his personal precautionary tale with Valley audiences Stacy Roy
sroy@metroland.com
Peter Hessel’s journey to unburden himself from the diabolical brainwashing inflicted on him by the Nazi regime, has taken a lifetime to achieve. The author and historian, wellknown in local circles, will give a reading from his autobiographic book, ‘Hitler’s Boy’, in Arnprior this Friday, July 8. The public is invited to the reading in the Arnprior library at 1:30 p.m. The former McNab-Braeside resident discussed his war-time experiences with students in Smiths Falls and Athens in May. As a young boy of eight in 1939 Hessel remembers wishing for the Second World War to begin. In his mind it was the only way for Germany to be great again. “To me, Jews were like ants or like bed bugs,” Hessel told the assembled crowd at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. The statement is the result of the effective and methodical brainwashing of German children spearheaded by the propaganda minister under Hitler, Josef Goebbels. “He was an evil genius,” Hessel said. Having grown up in a proud German household, Hessel was encouraged by his family to join Hitler’s Children’s Troop for chil-
dren five to 10. Around 1937-1938 his grandmother took him to the opening of the Autobahn in Germany where he joined his troop to welcome Hitler’s convoy to the event. “It was like watching Jesus Christ walking in front of you,” Hessel recalled. Hessel was 10 when he joined the Hitler Youth. They would meet every Wednesday afternoon and all day Saturday to march, learn military manoeuvres, as well as Nazi poetry, songs and ideology. Hessel performed so well that two years after arriving he was asked to become a Hitler Youth leader. On “one of those marches something happened to me. That was the first time since I was born that the slightest bit of doubt was raised in me,” Hessel said. The boys veered off course and went for a walk in the woods when a sickening odour met their nostrils. Not far from where he was standing was a large pit with swarms of flies around it. Hessel was one of a handful of boys who ventured closer and saw the mangled limbs of decomposing flesh beneath a thin layer of dirt. The young boy vomited and ran back to the camp never breathing a word of it to anyone including his family. Hessel said the image still
nalled the beginning of the end of the war and Germany’s ultimate defeat. All of this changed one morning in January 1945 when Hessel’s mother returned quickly from her work at the field hospital with news that the Russian forces were at the city gates and they had only an hour or two before they had to flee back to Germany. “It was one of the worst days of my life,” Hessel said. Throughout a nine-day journey with his two-year-old sister strapped to his back in a knapsack, Hessel passed by horrors on his way back to Germany. “Yes, I was a refugee. You are looking at a refugee now,” Hessel told the students. In these dark days, the 13-yearSTACY ROY/METROLAND Peter Hessel speaks to students in old Hessel was in mourning. The Smiths Falls. He will give a read- dream of a great Germany was ing of his book ‘Hitler’s Boy’ at the gone. “My greatest disappointment Arnprior Public Library this Friwas that I wasn’t old enough to beday, July 8 at 1:30 p.m. come a soldier,” Hessel added. “I haunts him today, but he ratio- was eager to die for Hitler, to die nalized it away despite the talk of for the fatherland and to do this redeath camps and mass murders on ally great thing.” These moments provide Hessel the street. “People, when they heard ru- with a unique insight into what mours, argued that ‘after all, we might be in the minds of young Isare at war,’” Hessel said, “and mil- lamist extremists today who volunlions of people died all over, so why teer to become suicide bombers for their cause. worry ‘about some Jews.’” “People who have an ideology Hessel’s mother refused to flee after the battle in Stalingrad sig- are the danger of the world,” he
said. Hessel notes similar right wing ideology is gaining ground in places all over the world, including Poland, Hungary and even Germany where hundreds of thousands of people support the far right-wing political party Alternative for Germany AFD. Hessel reminded the audience that it was the desperation of out-of-work people in the midst of a depression that brought Hitler to power and the same thing can happen again if something isn’t done. “I’ve written this book for the young generation. For you people. I want them to know what it’s like to be indoctrinated into an ideology,” Hessel said. “I find him a very dangerous man,” Hessel said of Donald Trump, a front-runner in the Republican candidate race to be president of the United States. “If he really does what he says he’s going to do, it’s going to be a catastrophe.” He sees the hatred against Mexicans and Muslims as eerily familiar from his own childhood, as is the scenario of great unemployment, and the promise from a leader hopeful that the country will be great again and wonderful things will be theirs. “That’s how it started in Germany,” Hessel warned.

Turmoil was a symptom of special visitor’s arrival The house was in a turmoil again. The whole place was upside down. Mother was in a bad humour, ordering us around, Emerson said like a drill sergeant! Even Father, who hardly ever got flustered, was all keyed up. All because Father’s sister, Aunt Lizzie of the hand-me-down boxes from Regina, was coming for her annual visit. She always came in the hottest month of the year, to make sure the old homestead was still standing. Aunt Lizzie didn’t think Mother was good farm-wife material, coming from New York and all. Mother was out to prove her wrong! Of course, Audrey and I had to give up our bed and sleep on the narrow creton couch in the kitchen. That meant the bedroom, which was really the large upstairs hall, had to be scrubbed within an inch of its life. Audrey had to stand on a chair, and using the broom, sweep the ceiling, which was only whitewashed over tar paper. This was to make sure no flakes would fall on Aunt Lizzie’s face when she was in bed, as they often did for Audrey and me. The feather mattresses, tickings and pillows had been thrown over the back fence and pounded with the broom within an inch of their lives. Audrey said we wouldn’t be going to that
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
much trouble if the Queen of England was coming! The kitchen, which was always spotless to begin with, was as clean as a whistle, and Mother, just to prove she knew a little more about being a farm wife than she was given credit for, had the bake table loaded down with sticky buns, homemade bread, freshly made pickles, raspberry preserves, and a basket full of newly picked tomatoes and cucumbers. Aunt Lizzie rarely gave us notice of when she was coming, and more than once, we would get a call from the station in Renfrew that she had arrived. At least this time, a letter had arrived a week before telling us when she would be coming. Of course, we five children would love to go into Renfrew to meet the train, but that
Her suitcases were brought in and taken right upstairs, and I couldn’t take my eyes off the big leather satchel she carried, because inside I knew would be gifts for all of us.
would mean taking the flat bottomed wagon with the one seat, pulled by the team of horses. Aunt Lizzie wouldn’t like being paraded through her hometown on a flat bottomed wagon, hauled by a team of work horses. So Father and Mother would take the two-seater buggy. We kids would stay at home. We were in our next-to-Sunday best clothes too. The five of us had our noses pressed to the kitchen window when we saw the buggy coming down the lane, and there sat Aunt Lizzie, white dress, huge red leghorn hat and gloves to her elbow. When she pressed me to her chest, I could smell Lily of the Valley perfume. Her suitcases were brought in and taken right upstairs, and I couldn’t take my eyes off the big leather satchel she carried, because inside I knew would be gifts for all of us.
My present was the last to come out of the bag. I had never seen anything like it. It was a book, about the size of a scrap book, and the cover was made of push-out paper dolls, and inside were the clothes they could wear, all made of paper, and she had even brought me a little pair of snub nosed scissors. I got right to it at the kitchen table. Each dress, when cut out, had little tabs beyond the body, and they, when folded over, were what held the paper clothes on the little cardboard dolls. I was sure even bad Marguirite had never laid eyes on anything so exciting! I didn’t care about all the work we had to go to, to get ready for Aunt Lizzie’s visit. I didn’t care that she wasn’t our favourite visitor to come to the farm at Northcote. I was too young to think beyond the wonderful gifts she would bring all the way from Regina. Imagine! Little paper dolls and a wardrobe of paper clothes to keep me entertained for hours ahead! That Aunt Lizzie sure knew how to bring joy to a young girl’s heart!

Toe-tapping time promised at 22nd annual Valley Bluegrass Festival Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com
Fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin - it will have it all. That’s right it’s time to toe tap your way to the Johnston farm for the 22nd annual Valley Bluegrass Festival. The annual event runs from this weekend (July 8 to 10) with numerous bands from across North America descending on the farm. The event is organized by four local couples: Darrell and Carole Mooney, Bob and Julie Johnston, Kevin and Shelly White and Arnold and Barb Dickson. Darrell Mooney says it’s a family-friendly event with traditional bluegrass music for everyone. “Bluegrass has been around for years and there is such a history to it,” he said. “The bottom line is it is great heritage music. All of these bands are top-notch blue grass bands” Organizers are estimating 3,000 people will arrive in Renfrew and Horton this weekend. “I encourage the community and local businesses to welcome Bluegrass fans because
they come to town everyday, they are here and spend a lot of money in Renfrew,” said Mooney. He is also very appreciative of the hundreds of volunteers who help run the festival. “Without the volunteers, the festival would not be. The volunteers do a lot of things before and after the festival.” He says he doesn’t have a favourite band. “I can’t pick one band over the others!” He says the Larry Stephenson Band, who are here all the way from Tennessee and perform on Saturday and Sunday, are one the crowd will enjoy. “People will really like to see them, they are really professional,” said Darrell. Providing some local content to the event is Concession 23 from right here in the Ottawa Valley. They hit the stage on Friday and Sunday. “People are surprised they
are so good,” said Mooney. “They are so good, amazing and they work hard at what they do.” He speaks very highly of Traditionally Wound from Central/Western Ontario who will entertain on Friday and Saturday. “They are one of the prides of Canada, they are fantastic. They have really developed their music and songs.” The Dick Smith/Mike O’Reilly Band is on for Saturday and Sunday and hail from Virginia and Canada. Mooney says they are another fan favourite. “They have been with us since the start. They are the only one who has played every year.” The annual music weekend is not a fundraiser, however the volunteer committee feels it is important to give back to the community where they live and work says a statement on

its website. Since the festival started, more than $80,000 has been donated back into the community. This year, proceeds from the event will be shared with the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and Hospice Renfrew. “Everyone alive depends on our hospital. I don’t think you can pick a more important place to donate money to than the hospital,” said Mooney. “Now that we have the hospice, how did we ever do without it? They are both community assets, for sure.” For the last few years money donated to the hospital has gone to the Healing Garden project, this year they will also be directing to funds to that project as well. Tickets are available at the gate of the Johnston Farm (408 Castleford Rd., County Road 20) a weekend pass is $80, Friday $20, Saturday $35
