EMC news - Don’t be fooled. Monday’s thunderstorm was too short to alleviate the dangerous drought conditions. Both fire officials and farmers say they need three or four days of rain to make any dent in the dry conditions that old-timers are calling the worst they’ve experienced. Farmers are worried that even a wetter than normal August will not be enough to salvage many of their crops. Mindful that the Quebec agriculture minister has agreed to visit the Pontiac to see the parched crops first-hand, the Renfrew Ontario Federation of Agriculture has invited Ontario’s agriculture minister to do the same by coming to Renfrew County. Fire officials are continuing to urge residents to be extra careful when it comes to fire. While most people are complying with burn bans, there was one incident Monday where a Russett Drive resident was warned about burning on his property. There have been potentially dangerous fires to the south east (Carp) and north (Petawawa), but so far there have only been minor fires in this area. For more on the drought, see Pages 2, 10 and 11.

Damaging storm bypasses Arnprior Derek Dunn Derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news - After some six weeks without any rain, powerful thunderstorms swept through Eastern Ontario on Monday, July 23, uprooting trees, downing power lines and causing fires. There were even reports by OPP of at least of two tornados, one in the Lake DoreGolden Lake area and another near the east end of White Lake in Lanark County. However, Arnprior and McNabBraeside escaped the main fury of the storm, which hit hardest to the south and west. While power in town flickered in the afternoon and was knocked out for about an hour at suppertime, Arnprior OPP and the fire department report they didn’t respond to any

weather-related calls. “We got zero calls as a response of the storm,” said fire chief John Okum. However, that wasn’t the case in rural areas. The McNab-Braeside fire department was sent out on a mutual aid call to help Lanark Highlands deal with fallen trees and downed power lines in the Cedar Cove area. The fire department was also called to Russett Drive to warn a property-owner that a fire he’d started was illegal as the fire ban is still in place. Renfrew OPP responded to 41 calls during the stormy afternoon. The majority of calls related to trees blocking roadways and hydro wires down.

County, workers reach tentative deal Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Striking Ontario Works employees and Renfrew County officials have reached a tentative agreement. The 11-week work stoppage could end in the second week of August or sooner if county council votes to ratify the proposal. CUPE communications representative Marjorie Savoie, speaking Wednesday on behalf of the 22 members of Local 4989, said council should move faster to vote on the deal. An additional two weeks is a further hardship on employees who have on strike for almost two months. “They could make a better effort to get the thing done,” Savoie said. According to a county media release, a “special meeting” of County council is set for Wednesday, Aug. 8 to address the issue. Savoie wouldn’t talk specifics about the

deal ratified by the union on Tuesday, July 24. But she did say it is better than one deemed a “final offer” by the employer earlier this month. That offer included a 12 per cent wage increase over five years. “I just know it’s better than the last offer the workers turned down,” Savoie said. That contradicts recent statements by social services director Dave Anderson, who maintained any offer made after the final offer would be less favourable to the union. Anderson could not be reached for comment by press deadline. The county early this month insisted the union take the ‘final offer’ to the membership for a vote; they voted it down. The main sticking point was disability benefits. Before the workers unionized two years ago, they enjoyed full coverage paid for by the employer.

Arnprior Council tempers drought effects on town Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Arnprior councillors made it clear at Monday’s meeting that the countywide drought means little to town residents. The town’s recently upgraded water treatment plant takes water from the Madawaska River, which is not experiencing a signiďŹ cant drop in levels. The clariďŹ cation came after ďŹ re chief John Okum updated councillors on the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) recent designation of a level two drought warning for the region. “Everyone is quite aware of the local drought conditions,â€? Okum said. “Things have transpired very quickly in the last week and a half.â€?

MNR and conservation authorities measure the severity of low water conditions, precipitation, stream ow and water levels. Conditions are described as one of three increasingly severe level of low water. These are: • Level one – the potential for water supply problems is identified; • Level two – minor water supply issues are encountered; • Level three – supply no longer meets demand. Social and economic impacts are experienced. Okum is a member of the county’s water response team. He said residents are encouraged to reduce water consumption by 10 per cent at level one.

At level two it is bumped up to 20 per cent, plus restrictions could be brought on. He said residents can reduce water use by not ďŹ lling pools, washing cars or watering grass. (The City of Ottawa has been encouraging its residents to water grass to reduce the chance of ďŹ re.) Restrictions may include the ďŹ re department suspending training use on ďŹ re hydrants, and turning off the fountain at Robert Simpson Park. “We can recommend these and have them enacted,â€? Okum said. The town will consider taking out advertisements and publishing on its website advice on how to reduce consumption.

Coun. Ted Strike noted that MNR is making a “request,â€? meaning any actions by the town are on a voluntary basis. He added that $7.5 million was spent improving water in Arnprior. “The town of Arnprior does not have a problem with water supply for its ďŹ re department, residents, or commercial use,â€? Strike said. Reeve Walter Stack agreed that Arnprior is not as bad off as other parts of the county. He wouldn’t want to see the splash pad in Robert Simpson Park turned off, for instance. “That’s badly need in these times,â€? Stack said. “It’s important to be seen to be participating and co-operate with the countywide initiative, but on a voluntary basis.â€?

Drought-plagued farmers invite ag minister to area EMC news – Facing the worst drought in more than 50 years, local farmers have invited the provincial Agriculture Minister Ted McMeekin and Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) president Mark Wales to view ďŹ rst-hand the devastation to crops and pastures. In a news release, the Renfrew OFA said the invitations are being made “to ensure that they fully understand the depth of the losses.â€? Farmers in the county are bracing for “devastating lossesâ€? not only in crops, but in livestock as well, reports the OFA. Many are looking to the government for emergency assistance beyond what is offered in standard safety net programs. The OFA says animals that will cost a fortune to feed over the winter are being shipped to market ahead of schedule and incurring losses as the market oods across the province and North America. “Those who were looking forward to good prices for their crops can only watch with despair as the prices rise, but their crops wither in the ďŹ elds.â€? A special meeting convened by the Renfrew OFA July 18 in Cobden was attended by commodity leaders and other general farm organization representatives to review the situation and create a plan of action. “This is a crisis and we all need to work together,â€? said Renfrew OFA president Bob Johnston. The farmers say they want to partner with all levels of government to establish emergency assistance and will continue to work with the Renfrew County Low Water Response Team. If the provincial ofďŹ cials accept the invitation to visit, an information meeting for farmers will be held in conjunction with the tour. Farmers will be provided the opportunity to present facts on the economic impact on the drought, with the information collected to be used to support the lobby effort. As well, government agencies and agricultural industry experts will be invited to share information on what is currently available for the farmers. Farmer representatives also discussed asking local municipal and county governments for an extension on property tax payment deadlines and establishing an emergency number where farmers can call for assistance for issues such as water shortage. The OFA reminds people that The Farm Line support number is 1-888-451-2903. It also asks everyone “to support each other in this time of crisis.â€? R0011514875

Sarah Jones, above, and Heidi Oare, were vacationing at a cottage on Norway Lake when the storm hit Monday afternoon. They started driving away from the cottage in Heidi’s car, but it was hit by one of many trees that blew over in the area. Jones said she felt the caved-in roof with her head. In a terrifying couple of minutes, the two women fled back to the cottage, fortunately making it safely. While several dozen trees were uprooted by the strong winds and many cottages were damaged, there were reports of only three people with minor injuries in the Norway Lake-Calabogie area.

Fire danger still high despite rain Continued from front

In this area, the Township of Greater Madawaska was the hardest hit, with numerous roads blocked in the Calabogie area, including Highways 508 and 511. Several cottages around Norway Lake were damaged by falling trees. The Norway Lake Road was cleared by OPP and Ottawa Police Service ofďŹ cers who were in the area, as well as local residents, including several from Arnprior. About 40 large trees had fallen and blocked the road. Several cars were damaged due to falling trees, and a few minor injuries were reported. The OPP also report some Admaston-Bromley roadways were also tree covered with Whalen Road, and Pucker Street needing to be cleared. Numerous false alarms were attended to by OPP ofďŹ cers due to the power outages as well. Thousands in the region were still without power Tuesday morning. The biggest outages were in the Renfrew-Calabogie area, where 5,600 homes were cut off and power wasn’t expected back until today (Thursday). The trafďŹ c lights at Daniel and Elgin streets in Arnprior were on ash mode after the storm, which had knocked out many of the lights in town late Monday afternoon. The rain fell quickly. Much of it ran off and evaporated before it had a chance to sink more than an inch or two into the soil. Were it to rain for three or four days straight, that still wouldn’t help crop farmers, many of whom say the season is already a write-off for them.

McNab-Braeside ďŹ re chief Ken Walton said it will take at least two or three days of constant rain before he considers lifting the ďŹ re ban in the township. Monday’s rain tended to run off instead of soaking in, he noted. “The ground is still very dry.â€? He said he was surprised a Russett Drive resident felt it was all right to burn Monday, particularly with high winds forecast. The resident was told he was contravening the township burn ban bylaw and given a warning, Walton said. He will face stiff ďŹ nes if it happens again. However, most residents are complying with the regulations to the relief of the ďŹ re department. GRASS FIRES ACCIDENTAL

Walton reported that the two grassbush ďŹ res attended to by the department in the last week were both accidental. However, they had the potential to grow into something much larger if not for the quick work of ďŹ reďŹ ghters, he said. A tree fell on a hydro pole on Usborne Street, causing a ďŹ re that was contained quickly. Another electrical ďŹ re at the end of Mill Ridge Road was larger, but it was also extinguished before any signiďŹ cant damage was done. The smoke was visible from several areas, so the department received numerous calls and at ďŹ rst thought there was more than one ďŹ re, noted Walton. That was not the case, which is fortunate because it wouldn’t take much in the unusu-

ally dry conditions for a ďŹ re to become a major problem. “That’s why we’re very pleased people are responding well to the (ďŹ re) ban,â€? he said. “We hope they will continue to abide by it.â€? Many people have been phoning the department and the township to keep updated, he said, adding that it is encouraging to see the public so aware of the danger. Walton said he realizes how tempting it is for people to have campďŹ res this time of year, “but it’s just too dangerous.â€? “People understand and are complying and we really appreciate it,â€? he said. The awareness of the danger is obvious in Arnprior too, with the ďŹ re department and police called last week by a resident upset to see someone ip a cigarette butt on his parched lawn. A house ďŹ re in Ottawa has been attributed to a cigarette that caught the grass on ďŹ re. The ames spread to a tree and then the home. Meanwhile, a forest ďŹ re on the edge of Canadian Forces Base Petawawa forced the evacuation of vacationers from the east side of Algonquin Provincial Park, including the Achray Lake campground on the weekend. The evacuation was conducted by Ontario Parks and the Pembroke District Ministry of Natural Resources with assistance from the County of Renfrew. As of Wednesday, the 200-hectare ďŹ re was contained and no longer considered a threat to the Barron Canyon area of the park. A bush ďŹ re in Carp Sunday has also been extinguished by Ottawa ďŹ reďŹ ghters. With files from John Carter

Campground charge laid after ‘private party’ By John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – A McNab-Braeside resident is facing a charge of operating a campground on June 23 for what he says was friends staying overnight after a party. Terry Thomson was charged with using his Mill Ridge Road property as a recreational vehicle campground contrary to a township bylaw that zones the property rural. He also faces a charge of using his property as a commercial concert venue with a live band contrary to uses permitted in a rural zone. He was issued a summons by the township’s bylaw officer that told him to appear in Renfrew court Aug. 24 to answer the charges. Thomson said he will plead not guilty to the charge. Thomson is the same person who cancelled a motorcross fun day he had planned to hold on his property July 14 after being told he would be shut down because he was not zoned for such an event. He attended the July 17 McNab-Braeside

council meeting to ask the township to set up a permit process for people who want hold special events. Council indicated it will decide in September whether it will entertain such a process. As for his June 23 event, Thomson says he had several friends visiting for a private party and arranged for a band to play on a stage he has on his 80-acre property. Some of the guests stayed overnight after the party in five trailers and another in a tent, he said. Thomson said it made sense for them to stay instead of driving home after the party and he stressed he never charged anyone to camp. “This has been blown completely out of proportion,” he added. “Others do it … I’m mystified why I was singled out.” He said he has been told conflicting stories on whether there was a complaint by a neighbour about the party. Township staff have indicated there was a complaint, but the bylaw officer said there wasn’t, Thomson said.

Replacement worker threat likely led to deal Continued from front

The disability benefit aspect was also won during the first contract negotiations. During this round of negotiations, the county tried to get the employees to pay for disability benefits. The union argued non-unionized employees get full coverage from the employer and that it would be hypocritical for unionized workers to be treated differently. Anderson said in past interviews that the disability benefits package is intended as a tool to attract quality candidates to non-unionized positions. It offsets salary incentives that might not be as attractive, he explained. ‘SCAB’ POSSIBILITY A FACTOR

It was a turning point in the standoff when the county began taking notices out 19 days ago in various newspapers in the county, in-

cluding the Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC, advertising for replacement workers, or ‘scabs’ as the union called them. The county received well over 100 responses to the advertisements. Savoie said the threat of scab workers was a motivating factor. “Yes, most likely. That didn’t help the situation,” she said. “It really pressured us, and may have resulted in us not getting exactly what we wanted.” The bitter deadlock between managers and workers could have ramifications in the workplace. But Savoie said it won’t affect the 1,100 or more clients who use the service for things like funding to escape domestic violence. “They love their job. They help the public. They’ll be happy to get back to work,” she said. “And they’ll be happy when they get an agreement in place.”

WOOD SELLERS WORRIED

She noted it wouldn’t be fair for Renfrew County entrepreneurs who sell their fire wood in Algonquin Park to be restricted because the ash borer is found in the south end of the county, and vice versa. The arrival of the ash borer in large parts of southern and eastern Ontario has proven costly for communities. Richmond Hill has spent $12 million combating it, London $14 million and Ottawa has just added another $1 million to its $2-million ash borer budget, Rose said. She explained that 25 per cent of trees in Ottawa are elms, so it’s a major problem in that city. As well as the cost, people tend to get upset when long-standing trees are removed from their neighbourhoods, she added. “People are taking this really seriously.” Rose explained that it takes about two years for the bug to kill a healthy tree. There are treatments that can save a tree, but they cost at least $200 every two years, she said. However, there are significant costs in removing trees, especially the older ones, she added. Rose said that as well as affecting property values and aesthetics, the loss of ash trees cuts into the diversity of an area’s forest. This region has already lost many elm and butternut trees, and beech may be next, she said. “It seems to be one thing after another.”

Children’s safety concerns raised at White Lake beach McNab-Braeside council has asked recreation director Geoff Patterson to see what can be done about deterring people from parking on the grass at White Lake Dam park. Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie said par-

ents are concerned the congestion is a threat to safety and have asked that beach area should be kept free of vehicles. She suggested barriers be placed and signs erected, “so the kids will be safe.” R0011523441

County of Renfrew forester Lacey Rose gives a power-point presentation on the emerald ash borer to McNab-Braeside council.

EMC news – When the emerald ash borer arrives in Renfrew County, it will be unfair to place the whole county under quarantine. So the County of Renfrew is urging the provincial government to lower the size of quarantine areas in order not to adversely affect wood cutters who sell out of their own territory. Unfortunately, the question is not if the ash tree killer will show up in this area, it’s when, County of Renfrew forester Lacey Rose told McNab-Braeside council July 17. She reported that although the pest has not reared its ugly head yet in Renfrew County, it has been found in Fitzroy Harbour, 15 kilometres from Arnprior’s boundary. “We need a plan of action in Renfrew County to prepare … there’s no doubt it will arrive here,” she said. She said local residents shouldn’t be planting any more ash trees. As well, they should consider planting replacement trees near their ash trees in case they are attacked by the ash borer. However, property-owners shouldn’t be too quick in cutting down their ash trees, as some might be resistant to the bug, she added. Rose said the emerald ash borer, an emigrant from Asia that has been in North America for only 10 years, can spread in nursery stock and pallets, but the main culprit is fire wood. Therefore, when the ash borer is identified in an area, a quarantine is immediately declared. That prevents the moving of any species of firewood out of the area. For instance, if the ash borer shows up in Arnpri-

or, under current rules, the whole of Renfrew County would be quarantined. But because the area is so large, county officials are pushing to have the affected area reduced to be based on township, not county, boundaries, Rose said.

Water Conservation The watershed within the County of Renfrew are now experiencing Level II Low Water Conditions. Under a Level II Low Water Condition, watershed residents, businesses, and industries throughout Renfrew County are asked to reduce their water use by 20%. Fresh clean water is a precious resrouce that must be managerd to ensure that an abundant suplly is left for future generations - start with water conservation! Water Facts • Using a running hose to wash your car can waste up to 400 litres of water. Using a bucket with a sponge plus a trigger nozzle on the hose will save you approximately 300 of those litres. • Lawn watering and other outdoor uses can account for 50% of home water use during the summer months. • Approximately 20 litres of water are used while brushing teeth - save water by turning the tap off! Helpful Hints • A healthy lawn only requires about 1 inch of water per week! • Let grass grow 6-8 cm (21/2 to 3 inches) before cutting, and leave the grass clippings on the lawn to aid in moisture retention. • Using mulch in your garden/flower beds will help the soil retain moisture and reduce the amount of water needed! • Check hoses and sprinklers for leaks prior to use. • Use a rain barrel to collect FREE water!

To assist in the regulation of water usage, thus in accordance with Town of Arnprior By-Law No. 5363-05: 1.

Between the first day of May and the last day of Spetember of the same year, no person(s) shall use water from the Town’s system to water lawns, gardens, grass plots, or ground of any description, or wash any vehicle, with the exception of: a. Person(s) that have an even-numbered municipal address shall only use water from the Town’s system to water lawns, gardens, grass plots or ground of any description, or wash any vehicles on even-numbered calendar days. b. Person(s) that have an odd-numbered municipal address shall only use water from the Town’s system to water lawns, gardens, grass plots or ground of any description, or wash any vehicles on odd-numbered calendar days.

Town committee discusses backyard fire bylaw Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Were it up to Arnprior Fire Department officials there would be no backyard fires and heavy fines if residents were caught lighting one. But after council rejected on a tie vote putting the idea of a burn permit and fee structure through a public consultation process, chief John Okum and fire prevention officer Cory Nicholas found themselves reworking the idea for an advisory committee meeting on July 16. It didn’t seem to fair much better. The latest proposed draft bylaw would be similar to one many municipalities in the county use. There would be a bylaw, but with no permit fees. It would be enforceable under the Provincial Offences Act of Ontario, and there would be a cost recovery element for the fire department’s response. The catch is that fires could only take place 10 metres from the nearest structure. “That would mean 75 per cent of homes in Arnprior would not be able to have a fire,” said John Fisher, a member of the town’s protective services advisory committee. “It’s going to be objectionable to a lot of people.”

Coun. Dan Lynch, committee chairman, voted in favour of the first draft bylaw. But he said telling people what they can and can’t do on their own property is a hard sell. So is making them pay beyond their tax bill in order to enjoy the privilege. “It’s going to be a tough one to go,” Lynch said. “We need to be regulated, but I think we have to make it with common sense.” Lynch wants to see a bylaw that would legalize small fires (in chimineas or bowls) so long as folks have a hose or bucket of water nearby. But he wants the bylaw to punish, for example, a group of teenagers with a raging fire full of construction materials. Speaking to the private property argument, Nicholas said there are many regulations related to private properties. Neighbours also have rights, including the right to not have their homes fill up with smoke from someone else’s backyard fire. “When what you do in your backyard affects what others do, a governing body has to step in,” he said. “That’s why we have a noise bylaw.” Since council shot down the last proposal, there have been two more complaints about backyard fires registered with

Derek Dunn

Coun. Dan Lynch and fire chief John Okum are among those on a town committee wrestling with the creation of a new backyard fire bylaw. Okum has relented somewhat, and agreed to drop the notion of a costly permit for anyone wanting to have a small fire on their property. But committee chair Lynch says they will likely encounter resistance on any type of permit system from private landowners who oppose government telling them what is a right and what is a privilege. the town. The fire department was called to less than 10 backyard fires so far this year. Some on council felt that wasn’t too high a number. But Okum said it is too much to ask of a volunteer firefighter to leave his own life to attend a backyard fire. And that it’s too costly for the fire department.

He added that most calls come on evenings and weekends when the bylaw enforcement officer is off duty. “It’s not our duty,” Okum said. Lynch said the town should look into having a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week bylaw officer to take care of it. As for an aspect the depart-

ment dropped, Okum also said provincial campgrounds charge for a burn permit; municipalities shouldn’t be any different. As for the possibility of a public backlash against creating a bylaw, Okum maintained that he cannot ignore the negative impacts of backyard fires.

“We’re here for the health, environmental impact and safety. We can’t just let that go,” he said. “We have to weigh that.” Both Okum and Nicholas encouraged the use of propane or natural gas outdoor fireplaces. They plug into the home and work with the flip of a switch. The carbon footprint is less, and the safety level is higher. “It’s the same effect,” Okum said. “It’s a very good alternative.” Still, Okum admitted there hasn’t been a backyard fire that has gone out of control during his time as chief. He rejects the notion that proposing a bylaw with no permit fees is being overzealous. “We feel strongly there should be no burning,” he said, indicating the bylaw would be something of a compromise. For a homeowner to legally have a fire in the backyard right now, Okum must provide a permit. He is not providing any permits until a new bylaw is in place. Nicholas will do more research on the issue before bringing the idea back to the Aug. 20 committee meeting. It will likely reach council again in late summer or fall.

Grove area development survives OMB appeal Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news - The attempt to prevent a residential development near Gillies Grove came to an abrupt end on July 23. An Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing scheduled for four days wrapped up in about a half hour after both the developer and private residents agreed to dismiss the appeal without cost. The deci-

sion followed three prehearings. Russ Corbett was among those who objected to Vydon Investment’s proposal to build 40 townhomes and a 52-unit three-storey apartment complex beside The Grove Nursing Home. He wouldn’t speak to why his appeal was dropped, or even if he believes the oldgrowth forest remains at risk.

But he did say the process has taken a toll on his health, and that he will continue the fight to protect Gillies Grove. “I’m very pleased, personally, because it was causing me quite the medical consequences,” Corbett said. “When the formal decision comes out I’ll make comment. It’s still my – in spite of the OMB decision – it is still my intent to maximize protection for the significant woodland.” He has argued in the past that the developer’s property is “an extension of wildlife habitat” and, therefore, threatens rare species in the grove. Vydon’s owner Doug Johnston is pleased the appellants – who at one point included Tom Marshall, Blaine Lenser, Janet McGrath, Kevin Douglas, John McGrath, and Larry and Lynn Marshall – have dropped the case.

“I understand things are good to go,” he said, adding that the public and municipality have a right to influence development, but that the process is slow and costly. Vydon still has a number of requirements to meet before the local government gives approval to the project first begun by Doug’s father, Don Johnston, almost 30 years ago. Town planner Robin Smith, who has experience at OMB hearings, said in some cases the developer’s side will raise “assigned costs” with the OMB, who in turn must advise opponents that they may have to pay for costly lawyer fees and the like. Smith said it is possible that the issue of assigned costs was raised in this case, especially since the opponents insisted numerous times during the hearing that

they would agree to dropping the case if no costs were assigned to them. Smith said hearings aren’t like a lawsuit where all the risk is assumed by private residents who have an active interest in the development of their community. The OMB is a recourse citizens can use to exercise their rights. However, there is a small possibility in a small number of cases that opponents will get stuck with the bill. “It’s not a threat. That’s just the reality,” Smith said. “The board has to consider it. It doesn’t come all that often. I don’t think it plays a role, at least it shouldn’t if you have a solid case.” Johnston doesn’t have a timeline in place for breaking ground. He said he has developed timelines in the past, but too many variables remain in place.

Town approves road contracts Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Arnprior council approved two contracts related to sidewalk and road work at its July 23 meeting. The $60,000 set aside in the budget for sidewalk improvements will be spent in full, it was decided after some discussion. Meanwhile, Ottawa D Squared Construction was the only company to bid on the work specified by the public works and engineering department. It came in with a price slightly under $46,000. Town civil engineer technologist John Steckly said the company did similar work last year, and that it was good work in a reasonable time frame. As for the additional $14,000, Steckly and councillors agreed there is always more work to do when it comes to crumbling sidewalks. But Mayor David Reid reminded council that it overspent on a truck purchase recently. Reeve Walter Stack said county tenders are coming well under the budgeted amount. It could be that in the ailing economy, he said, more companies are vying for less work. “This year is a bit of an opportunity,” Stack said.

Council instructed Steckly to offer the full budgeted amount to D Squared if it agrees to the same unit price. Otherwise the funds will likely go toward paying off expenses in other areas. ROAD WORK

The road rehabilitation contract didn’t come in under budget, but exceeded it by more than $5,000. Seven companies bid on the contract. The lowest, a $222,000 offer from Thomas Cavanagh Construction, won the day. The additional money will come from infrastructure reserves. Council and town staff knew it would be tight to fit all the work they wanted done with the amount set aside at budget time. And while the lowest bid went over, they are still pleased with how close it was. For the money, the town will get: • James Street rehabilitation for $133,000; • a patch at the library for $13,000; • various road resurfacing for $75,000. The latter includes work to be done on Addie and Mima streets, along with Russell and Thomas streets south.

Ground breaks on town’s largest development derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Infrastructure work began recently at what is likely the largest subdivision in the region, at the former Callahan Farmer property in Arnprior. Developer Vince Campanale is planning to build 324 homes on 65 acres, which would add about 800 more residents to the town of some 8,100 people. Like Campanale Homes’ Riverwood Estates subdivision south of Madawaska Boulevard, the new neighbourhood will be developed in three phases, and include a variety of home and land styles. “We brought over a few popular designs from here,” Campanale said from his office in Riverwood, prior to a tour of the new location. “We added quite a few new models, including different semis and towns.” Campanale Homes has given almost $2.6 million in development charges to the town and county for the Callahan project. A conservative estimate of $3,000 a year in property taxes will mean another $972,000 annually goes to local governments when completed. Along with semi-detached and townhomes, expect to see single and attached bungalows; overall the homes will be smaller than in the awardwinning Riverwood. The first phase entrance will be an extension to Edey Street. It will include a slope on either side of a dry pond (a run-off precaution in the event of a major rainstorm) behind eastside homes. Water from the dry pond would be directed to nearby Jed Creek. The 93 homes in this phase will include bungalows and two-storeys as “inventory” – meaning they’ll be built and ready for sale, but offer few opportunities for buyers to customize. “People can always tinker,” Campanale said. “We’re really excited because we’ll be bringing out some that sold quickly (in Riverwood).”

feature especially popular to Riverwood homes backing onto the Madawaska River. Homes at the cul-de-sac will have pie-shaped lots of various sizes backing onto Jed Creek. Five homes will back onto Ida Street, between its cul-desac and existing homes. A priority list is in place for those who show a no-obligation interest. Already 19 names are on it. Prices are better in subdivisions where construction is still underway; in some instances homeowners can save anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000 for the inconvenience. Phase one should be substantially completed by next July. Phases two and three will include more names of local veterans: Leonard Spinks Way; Conway Tearle Street; Bert Tourangeau Street, Leo Moskes Street an and extension of Tom Gavinski Street. The paved path leading to A.J. Charbonneau school will be maintained, which was a

concern for current residents. Cranston Street will be another entrance. But the main entrance will be along Baskin Drive, near the school. Phase two should be done in about four years, and the entire project should be complete in about 10. Campanale said it could be finished earlier if Arnprior makes moving to town more attractive through the approval of boxstore and other retail construction. “We think this is about a 10-year project. No question retail stores are lacking; no Walmart hurts business,” Campanale said. “We’ll speed up the 10 years if we get retail. This town has a ton of potential. You’ve got the two rivers. Nice ambiance. But the point is you need to get more restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, maybe a Target. People need a reason to come here.” Homes will cost in the $200,000 to $600,000 range. Mike Callahan owned a farm at the location prior to his death on July 10, 2006.

STREET NAMES

Arnprior is unique in that the last town council passed a bylaw saying all new streets must be named after war veterans. The three internal streets in phase one will be called Tom Gavinski Street, Gordon Ferguson Place and Mona McBride Drive. The latter ends in a culde-sac, which caused some consternation with the last council. Cul-de-sacs are more costly for municipalities to maintain, but Arnprior bought equipment a few years ago to lessen the burden. All phase one services such as streetlights, water and sewage, and roads will be finished in the next two to three months, Campanale said, adding that he expects to have 17 homes built by the end of November. Homes backing onto the 100-foot wide dry pond will have walk-out basements, a

Two of the 20 Riverwood properties left back onto the Madawaska River, and go for prices of $593,000 and $622,000. Savings are in the area of $16,000 – money Campanale said could be put toward the principal, thereby driving down interest later on. Details of the zero per cent on interest include: Five per cent down payment; zero per cent interest for the ďŹ rst year. So on a $300,000 home, the down payment is $15,000; and there is zero per cent on the $285,000. On year two of the deal, interest is set at three per cent.

Generator, chainsaws stolen from garage EMC news – Thieves continue to be busy in the area. A garage in the Village of White Lake was broken into and two chainsaws, a generator and a small drill were stolen. The break-in was discovered July 16 and believed to have occurred over the previous weekend. OPP Constable Barry Richardson is investigating. In was one of 19 theft occurrences attended to by Renfrew OPP officers last week.. Stolen property includes two BMX bikes, a beige Norco Katmandu bike, a cigarette butt receptacle, two cases of stolen lottery tickets, a licence plate, 18-inch chrome rims and tires, a GPS unit and a wallet, CDs and an I pod, phone charger, three lawn chairs, a bed liner stolen from the back of a pick-up and two cases where cash was stolen. OPP advise that taking a few simple measures may prevent people from being the victim of a crime. In the warmer months, police often see an increase in thefts from and of vehicles. Thieves are out more at night when the weather is nicer working under in the dark, looking for quick and easy targets. A few measures people can take include: keep valuables out of sight, either in the trunk or remove them from vehicle at night; keep vehicles locked when not in use; keep windows up and pocket the keys; and if you have a garage park in it. If you must park outside, consider a motion-activated outdoor light. “Thieves are generally lazy and looking for easy targets,” say OPP. “Be a hard target. Get in the habit of these crime prevention measures and you may not be the victim.” DOMESTIC DISPUTES

Renfrew OPP investigated five domestic dis-

putes last week. Police charged one man with two counts of assault, two counts of choking, uttering threats and sexual assault. Another man was arrested and charged with assault and unsafe storage of a firearm. IMPAIRED CHARGE

On Saturday, July 21 at about 5:10 p.m., Renfrew OPP officers received a report of a possible impaired driver on Highway 17 travelling westbound near McCallum Drive in McNab-Braeside. Officers stopped the suspect vehicle and arrested the male driver for impaired driving. Following breath tests at the detachment a 34-year-old Renfrew resident was charged with impaired driving, driving over 80 mgs and dangerous driving. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew Aug. 29. Const. Hayley Chaplin investigated the incident.

WHEELCHAIRS, SCOOTERS

OPP are reminding people using motorized wheelchairs and medical scooters that they are treated the same as pedestrians and are expected to use sidewalks where available. If there is no sidewalk available, people using wheelchairs or personal mobility devices should travel, like pedestrians, along the left shoulder of the roadway facing oncoming traffic. They should also consider adding a safety flag and reflective tape to their devices to assist with visibility for motorists. “Your safety may depend on your choice of where and when you travel.”

EDITORIAL

Only a radical prime minister ignores facts, scientific evidence To dismiss climate change as a liberal conspiracy is a radical position that has no place in rational public discourse. Unfortunately, the moderate right is not speaking out against such magical thinking of its more extremist brethren, which keeps it alive in otherwise respectable media outlets. That, in turn, prevents discussion on issues which reasonable people can legitimately disagree: how to mitigate the effects of climate change, for instance.

The question is why we don’t see climate change deniers denounced loudly and frequently by the moderate right. Maybe some feel it is beneath them to address fringe elements of their ideology. Perhaps others see them as a useful deflection. Discussion of mitigating the effects of climate change will not arise so long as the evidence supposedly remains suspect. The motive for shielding the far right is clear among those who still consider themselves in the mainstream: oil and gas

companies benefit from maintaining the status quo. The status quo is especially favoured by wealthy corporate leaders and the party with which they most closely align - the Conservative Party of Canada. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between the moderate and far right. The former, where Prime Minister Stephen Harper likes to position himself, is actively involved in attacking facts and scientific evidence that all reasonable people have access to when

constructing arguments. The latest example is diverting tax dollars away from scientific research. That is radical. Harper would argue the government needs to spend less, hence the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA), a research station that produced critical evidence to help stop acid rain, no longer qualifies for $20 million in funding. Yet the ELA’s funding pales in comparison to the Harper’s spending on military equipment and pet projects such as

law and order (during a time of decreasing crime rates). Scientists who recently gathered on Parliament Hill to protest a litany of government attacks upon them aren’t fooled by his obfuscation. Neither are a growing number of other Canadians, if polls showing the Conservatives’ decline are accurate. The so-called moderate right is entitled to remain silent as fringe elements attack mainstream ideas. But it loses moral credibility when it begins to attack those same

ideas. That is because the only logical outcome is clear: take away facts and evidence and the void will be filled by superstition beliefs. Those beliefs can only be defended by narrowly self-interested power elites. In which case we would have a return to what Plato warned against: justice as nothing more than serving the interests of the stronger. The return to a feudal state would then be complete. A new Dark Ages would arise. And the majority of people – including one-time moderate right-wingers – would suffer immeasurably.

To the Editor: Dearest residents of Arnprior, a ginormous thank you for your assistance, help, support in returning my lost cat Mel. Words cannot express my gratitude to so many people who assisted in the safe return of Mel. Mel is my four-year-old cat. He is one of the nicest cats I have owned. Mel is an integral part of my family. He gives my family profound laughter, affection, peace and joy. Mel went missing June 18 and was safely returned by Chris McGregor July 4. My heart stopped when I saw Chris holding him. I cannot thank you enough for your honesty. Thank you also to: 1. Library staff for assisting me to use the software to create and copy lost cat posters. 2. OPP Constable Nicholas for accepting and investigating my report of a lost cat. 3. Tim Bonnell and partner for their kind and warmest co-operation trying to locate Mel. Yes, thank you for letting me have a cat ‘cuddle’ with your long-haired Himalayan. 4. My friends and family for their support. 5. My generous patients at the hospital (most who are on Disability/Limited Fixed Incomes) who had taken up a collection so that I may purchase another cat (although not accepted per hospital policy). 6. To the several downtown shop owners who generously posted my lost cat posters in their store windows. 7. To the Arnprior District Animal Shelter volunteers and director for their advice, support and ongoing caring. 8. To the ladies who work at the Mac’s store downtown. They listened to me ‘vent’ when looking for my cat, and offered suggestions of where they have seen white cats. 9. To the Chronicle Guide EMC receptionist who was professional in helping me write a classified ad for ‘a lost cat’. 10. To my son who went searching every night for Mel near our home. 11. Most importantly, I need to publicly thank Cole and Josh. Cole and Josh are young teenagers, my sons’ friends. They helped to locate and identify Mel. These young man displayed so much courage, compassion and honestly. Both spent July 4 helping me retrieve him. When your pet disappears, it’s a painful process. I was unable to close the ‘Mel’ chap-

Sure, I could have purchased another cat that looked just like him, but he would not have his personality. Before he was returned, I was going through Mel ‘withdrawals’ and was making arrangements to purchase a Mel2 kitten at daintycharm.com (Toronto). Now that Mel is safely home (and staying indoors only), my home and my family’s heart are now complete. Thank you so much everyone. I am proud to part of this wonderful community we call ‘home’.

Fishing for time with the kids on the Ottawa EMC lifestyle - I know, I know. Judging by the photo it isn’t the biggest fish in the river. But we never would have landed the glistening beast if one of my fishing buddies – who resisted the art for his first nine years – wasn’t in the boat last week to confidently scoop it in the net. An indignant 16 inch pike, menacing-eyed and green tongued, with endless rows teeth, is a formidable opponent for anyone; except maybe a determined kid with a steady hand. Sometimes a photo requires more than a thousand words. Besides, and maybe this is only true for us average fishermen, catching the biggest fish in the river isn’t the crucial thing when it comes to fishing. It’s about the kids kicking off the covers at 5 a.m., sleepy but excited, fumbling down the stairs, making peanut butter sandwiches and a piping hot thermos of tea for Dad, remembering to load the

Derek Dunn Overdunn lifejackets, poles, tackle boxes (sometimes one isn’t enough), along with a slew of other responsibilities that go along with owning big-boy toys. And it’s about slipping the boat in the water, the sound of water lapping gently against the dock, the ducks muttering the arrival of featherless ones. It’s about sparking up the motor, loud and smoky, and smelling like a man. It’s about the putting around below the bridge linking the two sides of Arnprior. It’s about the odd thump of a rock against the

hull. (But don’t panic, or the boy’ll think there’s something to panic about. Just mention how someday a depth finder will solve that minor issue.) It’s about a brief wave ‘Hello’ to the retiree walking his little dog along Hydro Park West. Then, turning back past the yacht club and speeding up, it’s about blasting from the mouth of the Madawaska into the stunning Ottawa, the sun cutting across from the east, splattering brilliant colours against Robert Simpson Park and trees at Gillies Grove, and against rocks so animated they almost seem to be deeply breathing in the amazement of another ordinary day. Fishing is about that bird circling high overhead, too, and how we in our tiny boat far below admire its hardly ever flapping a wing. And the turtles sleeping on a log. And the paranoid gulls that start squawking louder and louder the closer we get to “their” little island with its mini lighthouse. Fishing is about the adventures that bubble up between catches.

Letters

Use fire truck to spray dry areas To the editor: With the continuing of our record dry summer, causing dangers of grass and bush fires, I would think it would be prudent in having the fire department’s tanker truck begin spraying the dry grasses along the road sides, of semirural roads, in the parks, around schools, and dry fields such as along the Baskin Drive corridor adjacent to the senior’s villa and the public

school on the opposite side. That’s only a few sites in town that could be in danger. It would also be valuable practice to the firemen, both regulars and volunteers. That’s the way I see it anyway. Doug Munro Arnprior

Ontario Works dispute costly all around To the editor: An open letter to Renfrew County Council, employees, taxpayers and striking Ontario Works employees (CUPE Local 4989). Twenty-two employees from the Ontario Works program in Renfrew County have been on strike since May 10 in an attempt to retain the long and short term disability benefits they had in their previous contract. Their workplace responsibilities include managing social assistance programs for 1,100 clients in Renfrew County. They also provide valuable assistance to individuals in their effort to get back to work. An excellent letter to the editor by Kathryn Purvis in another paper raised a number of issues about the strike and the reluctance of the county to support the maintenance of disability programs for these employees while 160 management and non-union staff retain their benefits, at best a double standard. The striking employees unionized two years ago in an attempt to resolve issues in the workplace and now it seems management is fighting back. The union recently rejected an offer from the county, which appeared attractive, but still did not include continuing disability benefits. As one might expect, the temptation by the union to accept must have been considerable. Their rejection of the offer speaks to their commitment to be fairly treated like the rest of county staff. Now the county negotiating committee is again resorting to threats about future contract offers. Recently, the County of Renfrew placed an advertisement for employment opportunities in social services, clearly a threat to replace the striking employees. It is apparent from this action that the four management staff currently administering the program requirements are not in a position to

do the comprehensive evaluations necessary to ensure no impropriety exists. This tactic appears excessive within the context of reasonable and responsible negotiating practices. In addition, the county retained the services of three security guards from London, Ont. to oversee 22 striking employees (two men and 20 women). There has not been a security threat in the first 10 weeks on the strike line, so why now? The county negotiating committee through the press has indicated a need for these measures? This is nothing more than an attempt by the county to influence and negotiate in the court of public opinion. These are expensive decisions! Is this the fair and reasonable Renfrew county I know? Neither of the opposing sides in this dispute can possibly claim a victory. That is the reality of a strike. So what are the real costs? The taxpayers are paying for questionable decisions by management. Can Renfrew county employees expect fairness in the future? Do these decisions and actions reflect the values and beliefs of Renfrew county council and the leadership principles upon which the members were elected? Social assistance clients are missing out on support they need. Twenty-two Ontario Works employees have sacrificed salary, lost seniority and experienced the anxiety of being on strike to maintain the benefits afforded to 160 other county employees. Binding arbitration is the answer, and it needs to come sooner than later! Why is the county resisting this alternative? Blake Smith Pembroke

Cohen Dunn holds up a small mouth bass and decent sized pike he helped catch during an outing on the Ottawa with his father last week. For them fishing is about all the rituals and experiences surrounding the catch. Not the catch itself. Or is it? weeks ago when I took both kids in the boat and we parked on an island in the Ottawa. We rechristened it Treasure Island on account of everything we found there: rocks that could have gold dust in them; a walking stick with a perfect handle; a fragment of a clay pot; best of all, a huge rusty chain complete with a hook that we couldn’t wait to bring back for Mom to insist it stays outside. It was probably from a pirate ship or, less likely, a logging tug. Who’s to say for sure? Fishing re-establishes or reinforces the link between the living world and that ancient world at the back of the mind. It’s about ... reeling back

from waxing philosophic and admitting it has to be about catching fish. Catching fish is the best thing about fishing, no question. Dave Barry’s right about a lot, but not when he said: “Fishing is boring, unless you catch an actual fish, and then it is disgusting.” Catching fish, then gutting, scaling or filleting, frying, munching: fish for breakfast is almost better than bacon for breakfast. Bacon-wrapped fish for breakfast? There’s a lot for kids to learn in fishing. How to kill and honour the sacrifice of a life – even that of a nasy northern – to sustain life are but one important lesson.

TELL US YOUR FISH TALE

I know there are many fishermen with many more years on the water than this simple scribe. And I know they have a ton of better stories about life on the water. And I would love to hear them, maybe document a few in this space. I’d love to here from fellow average anglers too, with their favourite stories from childhood or yesterday. True stories of fishing anywhere in the Ottawa Valley are more than welcome. If you have a fish story you think would entertain our readers, call it in to reporter Derek Dunn at 613-623-6571, or email derek.dunn@metroland.com.

Water Response Team to consider next level in county drought alert Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

R0011520381

10 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, July 26, 2012

EMC news - The Renfrew District Water Response Team was poised to meet this morning (Thursday) to determine the status of the drought in Renfrew County. The team declared a Level Two status last Thursday and residents were urged to voluntarily reduce their water consumption by 20 per cent. If Level Three status is declared, mandatory water restrictions could be imposed, based on a hierarchy of need determined by the province and enacted by legislation. A provincial Water Directors Committee would also consider any recommendations from local committees such as the Region District team. Ontario has never before reached a Level Three drought. Some tough decisions and allocations requiring a tremendous amount of discretion may lie on the horizon. Last week the county’s water response committee dedicated almost three hours of its meeting in AdmastonBromley to the drought and a presentation by Ministry of Natural Resources Pembroke district manager Rick Watchorn. MNR is the lead agency on the local low-water response team that declared the county’s Level Two drought July 19. The team’s mandate is to assess the human, economic and environmental impacts of the drought and communicate them to the public and elected officials. Watchorn stressed it is not the role of the response team to address emergency response, nor does it handle financial compensation. “The declaration of low water does not initiate any provincial or municipal financial assistance,” Watchorn said. Nor does the team carry any legislative authority. Only the province can enact and enforce conservation measures, through legislation. Watchorn underscored the importance of collecting and sharing data, as well as spreading the conservation message. “The more people who promote conservation, the better,” he said. He urged the distribution of MNR material on the drought, stressing, “there’s no ownership; there’s no copyright.” “It’s not enough to say it’s bad,” said Watchorn. The severity of the situation must be proven and comparable to previous conditions. Watchorn said it’s important to know “where we were, where we’re at and have that continuum,” and to have conservation strategies in place. “By far the most important

Bob Campbell, Dave Campbell of the Renfrew Federation of Agriculture and Greater Madawaska Reeve Peter Emon are among those attending a meeting of the Renfrew County Agricultural Economic Development Committee last Thursday to discuss the drought crisis. element is the communication,” Watchorn said, noting all committee members have equal opportunity for input. “It’s important for us to hear what’s going on.” “It’s extremely critical for a water response team to have the rationale available to make their decision,” Watchorn said. The initial Level One alert was sounded July 9. That was when rainfall was less than 80 per cent of a running threemonth average. Level Two kicked in to Level Two as the region hit less than 60 per cent average and flow less than 50 per cent. Level Three would be declared if less than 40 per cent of the monthly average fell, and there was less than 30 per cent of stream flow. “Arriving at Level Three is a serious situation,” Watchorn said. PRIORITY WATER-TAKING

“There is no higher priority than drinking water,” he said. Sewage and power production follow closely, with further priorities set in context of local needs. Changes in level status are based on conditions, not timelines, so the committee will be prepared to meet as necessary. Last week the group had proposed meeting again today - Thursday, July 26. The hot, dry, windy conditions also create high fire risk and people are urged to check for fire bans in their specific municipality and exercise caution, especially when throwing away cigarette butts. Horton Mayor Don Eady, for example, approached the Renfrew Golf Club regarding a possible smoking ban on the course during this difficult time and management did do. Watchorn also explained the water consumption implications of the various levels.

Level One calls for a voluntary 10 per cent reduction, as the community paces a potential supply challenge. At Level Two the voluntary reduction jumps to 20 per cent reduction as the potential of major supply problems exists. At this point municipalities can enact bylaw restrictions. Level Three is foreign territory as Ontario has never reached this status. “It’s bad,” is how Watchorn explained the last level. He said this is when water supply fails to meet demand and you start to see impacts on such things as industry, municipal drinking water systems and municipal sewage treatment plants that don’t have enough water flow to dilute the effluent. “It’s serious stuff,” Watchorn said. On July 13 the first meeting of the Renfrew District Water Response team was held and a phone line was set up at the County of Renfrew municipal building in Pembroke. “There is a tremendous spectrum of experience,” Watchorn said of the committee. Early feedback indicates the committee has been a valuable experience and “we’re on the right track,” said Watchorn. The group plans to meet weekly, or as necessary. “We knew it was not going to get better in the short term,” said Watchorn, noting how quickly conditions had changed, within just one week. “It’s significant,” he said. Stream flow indicators are based at four Renfrew County locations: the Bonnechere River near Castleford, Madawaska River at Calabogie, Muskrat River near Pembroke and the Petawawa River. Renfrew County includes what Watchorn described as “chunks and pieces of five watersheds.” See WATER, page 11

Water

EMC news - With thunderstorm season in full swing in Ontario, Hydro One reminds residents to be prepared in case of an extended emergency if severe weather strikes. Make it a family activity to create a list of items your family would need in the event of an extended emergency and gather together your emergency kit, advises the corporation in a news release. Hydro One suggests the kit include the following items: water (recommend 2 litres per person/day), canned or dried food that won’t spoil, manual can opener, wind-up or battery-powered ashlight, windup or battery-powered radio, batteries for a ashlight and radio, copy of an emergency evacuation plan, any medical items required, blanket and the community recovery plan. People are encouraged to ensure they have at least one corded phone at home. A cordless phone will not work in a power outage. “Keep an emergency kit in a backpack and make sure everyone in your home knows where to ďŹ nd it,â€? says Hydro One. “If your area is affected by a storm, be sure to stay clear of any fallen power lines. If you spot a fallen line, keep at least 10 metres away, even if it doesn’t appear to be live. Report it to the police and call Hydro One’s emergency power outage hotline number at 1-800-434-1235.â€? R0011518105

In summary, Wa said the drought is merely a function of having no rain, and everyone must play a role. “This is, in fact, a community effort,â€? he said. “The impact and conditions are going to be different wherever you go in the county.â€? As Watchorn explained, the essential uses of water in the town of Renfrew versus a rural area are quite different. This is where conicts could arise, Admaston-Bromley Coun. Michael Donohue noted. The ďŹ rst to go will be nonessential uses like washing your car or watering your lawn.

EMC news – Drought conditions have reached a “major disaster point� for area farmers and the Upper Ottawa Valley’s rural economy, Renfrew County National Farmers Union (NFU) president Dave Mackay said Monday. He said it has gone past the point of no return for many crops and farmers need immediate financial assistance. “The past weekend’s dry, hot conditions and blustery winds turned many areas in Renfrew County to almost desert-like conditions,� he said in a news release. “It is very, very sad to take a drive in the countryside and see the effects of this fast becoming one-in-100-year drought,� he said. “Any amount of rain received from here on won’t regenerate the crops or hay for this year.� Mackay said farmers are telling him

that “they are stressed, the animals are stressed and the water is depleting day by day.� There is a stress help line farmers can call, but they need more, he said. “They need financial help now, as they don’t know how they will be able to pay their seeding bills or what they will feed their animals this winter.� A drought of this calibre has the potential of leaving a lasting effect on family farms, agriculture-related businesses and the community as a whole, Mackay added. He noted that in line with the NFU’s mandate is to support and work on behalf all family farms, the group has had a lengthy discussion with MPP John Yakabuski and met with MP Cheryl Gallant on the crisis. “The drought situation and financial

Farmers need help as drought devastates crops: NFU shortcoming is not caused by the farmers’ own making, and, therefore, we need to look after the long-term needs of our farmers and community,� he said. In addition to consulting with the MP and MPP, a group of farmers met last week and drafted recommendations for immediate disaster relief funding from both levels of government. Mackay noted the federal government covered 60 per cent of the emergency relief paid to farmers for crops lost in the 2010 Saskatchewan flood. The province of Saskatchewan covered the balance. Bridge funding was also recommended, which would require the provincial government to guarantee loans to be processed by financial institutions and to be lent to those farmers in need as quickly as possible.

Buy local wood, county urges

R0011381270

Check out where local wood products are available at www.OttawaValleyWood.com

EMC news - The County of Renfrew’s Forestry and Economic Development Divisions have partnered to promote the region’s beleaguered forestry/logging industry and showcase to consumers why choosing wood and wood products from the Ottawa Valley is a wise purchasing decision. The forest industry is a major economic driver for Renfrew County and many residents rely on the employment it provides. The last five years have been particularly difficult for the industry as the downturn continues. There is a general lack of awareness of the ability to buy local wood products, particularly in the under-40 demographic who are exercising their buying power and attempting to be informed consumers. The ability to walk into a big box store and walk out with everything they need, not knowing where the wood products came from or how they were harvested, has led to a net import of wood products in a province that is capable of growing and producing enough wood on an environmentally sustainable basis. Part of the problem is the lack of awareness of the products, particularly for the consumer who expects to find what they need through Internet searching and clear presentation and marketing. Studies have shown there is a desire for purchasing Ontarioproduced wood for home projects, if it is available and meets other criteria of price, quality and durability. However, the problem still exists that many of the products available from local mills and craftsmen may not be available in local retail stores. County of Renfrew staff forester Lacey Rose and business development officer Craig Kelley have been travelling around the County interviewing, learning and documenting the history, business practices and products of over 20 wood producers to date. They are using this information to create profiles and product lists that will be available on the website directory www. OttawaValleyWood.com to be launched this fall. Product information, pictures and interesting facts about local wood producers who are interested in selling to the public are being gathered, categorized and put online. Consumers look under the category of product they are interested in, examine their options, contact the producer and buy directly from them. Purchasers get to meet members of their community who produce high-quality goods and have a personal story to tell with each purchase. Here’s a sample of just some of the wood products grown and manufactured in Renfrew County: lumber of every species native to eastern Ontario (of any dimension, pressure treated, dried, rough or finished), cedar shingles, cedar wood chips and planks for barbecuing, hard maple kitchen utensils, furniture, hardwood and softwood flooring, mouldings, baseboards and trim, exterior wooden siding, wall paneling, roof trusses, fireplace mantels, kitchen cabinets, timber frame and log home building, jewelry and works of wood art. The list continues to grow and the project has received positive feedback so far, from many people who are surprised and pleased to see they have so many local buying options and from producers who are proud of the work they do. While the full website is being developed, all the information collected so far is available on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ OttawaValleyWood). Make sure to ‘Like’ Ottawa Valley Wood to stay up-to-date when new producers are added. The website and additional promotional materials will be part of the information that will be distributed when the County of Renfrew, along with local producers, attends various industry and consumer trade shows this fall and next spring.

United Way issues call for funding proposals Health and social agencies invited to address high priority needs EMC lifestyle - Renfrew County United Way is embarking on a new approach to supporting the community. Effective Jan. 1, all CRA-registered charities that deliver health and social services within Renfrew County will be eligible to receive funding that addresses community needs within six broad community impact focus areas – youth, child poverty, seniors, transportation, safe and affordable housing, and health services. In preparation for the change, the United Way has issued a ‘Call for Proposals’ to qualiďŹ ed charities in Renfrew County to submit by Sept. 30 innovative approaches to dealing with some of the communities’ complex problems. Applicants must submit proposals online using an approved form to be found on the United Way website at www.renfrewcountyunitedway. ca. Also available on the site is a list of terms and conditions for funding support. “The United Way has been funding a wide variety of excellent health and social programs in Renfrew County for many years which have, to this point, been delivered by a select group of charities we referred to as ‘member agencies’. “But in a changing environment, including fewer resources and more demands for accountability by donors, we began to question whether our funding support was actually meeting our communities highest priority needs and whether we could afford to continue taking such a broad approach to dealing with community issues,â€? said United Way board

chair Bob French. “So we undertook to ďŹ nd out from our stakeholders where they felt we should be focusing our efforts. “We are now in the ďŹ nal stages of re-aligning our activities and our funding to ensure that we are in a better position to create signiďŹ cant impact in our communities.â€? With the proposal call, the United Way is expecting to receive fresh, innovative ideas from a wider selection of agencies that serve people in need, including those that have been associated with the United Way over the years. Once funding proposals are submitted, the United Way’s funds distribution committee will give them an initial review and then invite sponsors of qualiďŹ ed proposals to participate in a consultation process designed to ensure that proposed projects can succeed in creating positive change. The goal of the United Way’s new strategic direction is to bridge the gap between what is currently being funded (basic human needs and crisis services) and what needs to be the communities’ primary focus (preventative measures and ďŹ xing the underlying cause of problems). “While we cannot ignore basic human needs, we can no longer afford to throw money at problems,â€? said United Way executive director David Studham. “Increasingly, we have to start directing more resources into addressing their root causes. We are encouraging agencies to partner by pooling their resources and their intellects to come up with innovation solutions to the complex problems we face.â€?

ENTERTAINMENT

Your Community Newspaper

Prior Players plan Remembrance Day production EMC entertainment – After a successful production of ‘Arnprior’s History on Stage’ for Arnprior’s 150th anniversary celebration, Prior Players are getting set for another historical production this fall. Director Alan Rowsom is calling for actors of all ages to perform in two plays based on the Second World War. ‘Bomber Command’, written by Carl Cashin, is the fictional story of the crew of ‘Mollie May’, a Halifax bomber assigned to Group 4, 578 Squadron. In the first act, the audience gets a look at the issues and emotions ‘at home’ leading up to enlistment, while the second act focuses on the camaraderie that developed amongst this diverse set of characters. The eclectic cast includes a French Canadian bus driver and his wife, a Toronto banker and his secretary, a bricklayer, young men with underworld connections, and more. Cashin is the author of the award-winning ‘Mail Order Annie’, which was performed by Prior Players in fall 2009. ‘Bomber Command’ was first performed in Trenton in November 2009 with the restored Halifax of the National Air Force Museum as the backdrop. For added entertainment, Prior Players own Charlotte Leitch is writing a play to complement Bomber Command. The play will depict Arnprior at the end of the Second World War. When writing ‘Arnprior’s History on Stage’, Leitch researched the history of the town and made an effort to include many of the local families. She is now seeking stories of local families during and after the war. If you were a soldier, a family member of a soldier or a family friend who has a special story, Leitch would like to hear about it. Stories shared will be woven into her play to

create a memorable illustration of life in Arnprior at the end of the Second World War. In addition to this historical play, Prior Players would like to create a slide show of memories to pay special tribute to those who served and their families. They are also looking for photographs to add to this special feature. For submission of special memories, please e-mail charlotteleitch11@gmail.com or call her at 613-623-6910 to arrange a time to share your story. Leitch will meet with each family individually. Regarding photographs for the slide show, they can be scanned and returned immediately by bringing them to Leitch at 201 Daniel St. (Century 21 office) on Saturday, Aug. 18 from noon to 4 p.m. and again on Saturday, Sept. 15, again from noon to 4 p.m. As for auditions, all are welcome. Prior Players need actors of all ages with a special emphasis on young men, acting as Second World War aircrew. Audition times are 7:30 p.m. Aug 1, 7 and 9 in the main meeting room of the Arnprior Library. No preparation is necessary. These will be cold reads from the script and others. Please contact priorplayers@gmail.com or call 613623-5585 if you would like to volunteer for this production. Prior Players need help with set construction, production, make-up, costume, sound effects and much more. It’s a great opportunity to get involved with the local theatre group. “We look forward to hearing from you.� This fall’s production will be opening on Friday, Nov. 9 and closes Saturday, Nov, 17. Prior Players are looking forward to the production and are proud to create a special memory and heartfelt thank you to all who served our country.

Charlotte Leitch holds up a Distinguished Flying Cross medal, earned by Nick Smith of Arnprior. Smith’s accomplishments will be featured in this fall’s historical production. Submitted Prior Players

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant accepts a petition from members of the Renfrew County S.O.S. group concerned that wind farms affect people’s health. Submitted

John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant says the announcement of a federal health study into the effects of industrial wind turbines is a victory for citizens who have raised the alarm about wind farms. In a news release, Gallant congratulated S.O.S., a grassroots Renfrew County group of concerned citizens, for raising the health concerns. The group’s lobbying, which included a meeting between S.O.S spokesperson Carmen Krogh and federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq, helped with the decision to order the $1.8-million study, she said. “This is a victory for the average citizen,” said Gallant. “It was my old friend Barney McCaffrey in one of his last newspaper articles, who said ‘follow the money’ when it came to the policy of the Liberal party in Toronto to force through approvals to build the heavily taxpayer-subsidized industrial wind turbines over the health concerns of local residents and the objections of municipalities.” Gallant noted that for years people have been stepping forward with health worries when it comes to the large wind turbines. “As the first federal MP to acknowledge their unease, I am very pleased our government has chosen to listen to the concerns of average citizens over the objections of big foreign multinationals and their friends who were awarded the contract to build these wind turbines by Toronto,” she said. Health Canada, in collaboration with Statistics Canada, will conduct the research study that will explore the relationship between wind turbine noise and health effects reported, and objectively measured, by people living near wind power developments. The results will be published in 2014. “This study is in response to questions from residents living near wind farms about possible health effects of low frequency noise generated by wind turbines,” said Aglukkaq. Health Canada was made aware of healthrelated complaints from groups like S.O.S. and individuals living in close proximity to wind

turbine establishments. The study is being designed with support from external experts, specializing in areas including noise, health assessment, clinical medicine and epidemiology. The proposed research design and methodology was posted on Health Canada’s website late last week for a 30-day public comment period. Feedback obtained will be reviewed by the design committee. It will be compiled and published to the website, along with the committee’s responses. The study will be focused on an initially targeted sample size of 2,000 dwellings selected from 8 to 12 wind turbine installation facilities in Canada. In addition to taking physical measurements from participants, such as blood pressure, investigators will conduct face-to-face interviews and take noise measurements inside and outside of some homes to validate sound modelling. Health Canada has expertise in measuring noise and assessing the health impacts of noise because of its role in administering the Radiation Emitting Devices Act (REDA). As defined under REDA, noise is a form of radiation.

‘HALT NEW WIND FARMS’

Word that Health Canada will look into the effects of wind turbine noise on people’s health has prompted the provincial Progressive Conservatives to call on the Liberal government to stop the development of new wind farms until the results are known. PC Critic for the Green Energy Act Lisa Thompson joined with Krogh and Dave Hemingway, who is creating a documentary on the effect of wind turbines on communities, in making the appeal. “People living close to wind farms have been telling us for years they’ve had to leave their homes, they can’t sleep, they’re suffering from depression, ever since the turbines were built,” said Thompson.

Wind turbines already proven safe: CanWEA Continued from Page 17

“I had five families in my riding that had their homes bought out by a wind developer, but the families cannot talk about it because they are under a gag order. This is why I put forward a motion earlier this year to ban turbine construction until further social, physical and economic health and environmental studies were conducted.� Thompson said the federal government should be applauded “for doing what the McGuinty Liberals have failed to do.�

She pointed out that Auditor General Jim McCarter recommended in 2011 that the provincial government provide the public with the results of objective research on the issue. The Liberals fall back on the comments of the province’s chief medical officer, who said she didn’t find any causal links between the wind turbines in health problems, Thompson said. However, she only did a literature review, and not a physical study, said Thompson.

2013

She maintained that there’s no reason why the province needs to keep building new wind farms. The province already has an oversupply of power that has cost taxpayers $1.8 billion over the last six years – and the bill keeps rising, she said. FREEZE ‘NOT WARRANTED’

On the other side, the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) says calls for

a moratorium on wind energy development pending results of a Health Canada study are not warranted because the balance of scientific and medical evidence to date “clearly concludes� that sound from wind turbines does not adversely impact human health. “The vast majority of Canadians choose wind energy as a top source for clean and safe new electricity,� said CanWEA communications vice-president Chris Forrest. “When discussing an issue as important as our energy fu-

ture, we must look at the facts. It is clear that the balance of research and experience to date - including hundreds of thousands of people living and working near wind turbines in 89 countries around the world - concludes that wind energy does not adversely impact human health.� The conclusions are backed

by a growing body of work, including reports by Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer, the National Public Health Institute in Quebec, and most recently by an expert panel report to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Department of the Environment, says CanWEA in a news release.

MPP slams gas plan closure payment EMC news – In his July column, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has slammed the provincial Liberals for squandering $180 million of taxpayers money on the Greenfield Power plant closure. The power plan was under construction when it was abruptly cancelled on Sept, 24, 2011 in the middle of the provincial election. Now the province is paying Greenfield Power, $180 million for not building the gas-fired power plant in Mississauga, wrote Yakabuski. “Energy Minister, Chris Bentley, was forced to admit last week that the decision to cancel the power plant was made by the Liberal campaign team, that the Ministry of Energy was not even involved in the decision,� he added. “Remember friends, that $180 million is your money. Money that the McGuinty Liberals chose to spend in an attempt to save the seats of Liberal members in Mississauga and Etobicoke. “Yet to be known, is how much it will cost you to cancel the 900-megawatt gas-fired power plant that was already contracted for in Oakville. This will surely be another expensive Liberal seat saver program. “It seems that they have no problem spending money to protect Liberal members; the problem is, it’s your money.� CONGRATULATIONS MELISSA

In his column, Yakabuski congratulated Renfrew County’s very own Olympian Melissa Bishop. “I know that everyone all across Renfrew County is so very, very excited about Melissa’s qualifying for Canada’s Olympic Team,� wrote Yakabuski. “Her years of hard work, training and total commitment have culminated in her winning the honor of representing her country, our country at the London Games. “I know that everyone will be cheering her on and watching closely, as one of our own performs on the biggest stage in sports at the Olympic Games. Best wishes Melissa. We are all so very proud of you.�

MP leads CanadianNATO delegation Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, chair of the Canadian North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Parliamentary Association, led the Canadian delegation to the NATO Plenary session in Tallinn, Estonia recently. “As a forum that brings together European and North American legislators who share membership in a common alliance, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly debates issues of common interest and concern,� said Gallant. The NATO Parliamentary Assembly was established in 1955 to provide an essential link between NATO and the elected representatives of the NATO Nations. It helps build parliamentary and public consensus in support of Alliance

policies. The Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association consists of membership of all political parties represented in the House of Commons. “I am pleased to acknowledge the work of Senator Nolin in preparing a special draft report for the NATO Parliamentary Assembly on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones). “His report is timely for discussion in Canada now that the mission to Afghanistan is drawing to a close. “As the MP of a riding that includes the largest army base in Canada, CFB Petawawa, I was particularly interested to hear from democratic representatives from other NATO alliance nations, their viewpoint regarding the NATO Afghanistan mission.�

Fitzroy Harbour Provincial Park setting for Mick Armitage Band EMC entertainment - The popular Mick Armitage Band will bring their “Rockin’ Our Lives Away Tour” to Fitzroy Harbour Provincial Park this evening (Thursday) for what promises to be a great evening of classic rock and roll. The free show, which begins at 7 p.m. sharp and continues until dark, is part of the summer ‘Concert in the Park Series’ presented by the City of Ottawa. Once again the event is being sponsored by Waste Management who has been a constant supporter of the concerts which have run for nine consecutive years. The appeal of the Mick Armitage Band is underlined by the fact they have been invited to play as part of the concert series from the outset. Last August they thrilled a large audience at Village Square Park in Stittsville. Leader and drummer Mick Armitage is thrilled to be part of the series again this year. He’s particularly pleased to be playing at Fitzroy Harbour Provincial Park. “It is such a beautiful location and I promise it will be a lot of fun for everyone who comes out that night,” he stresses. As for the concert series itself, Armitage is proud of what has turned out to be a standing invitation from the city to take part in the outdoor shows. “Ambush (another popular Eastern Ontario band) and us – we’ve both played as part of this same series for nine years now. We always enjoy it.” Armitage says what helps make the shows a success is the large audiences they attract. “We want another good crowd. This is a family show and we hope the kids will get involved. Bring your family and friends. “Come early and stay late,” the long-time band leader urges. “Leave fido at home (pets are discouraged) come out, sing and dance to classic rock n’ roll. It will be a good night.” The concert will be preceded by a barbecue run by the West Carleton Youth group. The hamburger and hot dog BBQ begins at 6 p.m. sharp, followed by the show itself at 7 o’clock. Concert goers are reminded to bring lawn chairs, blankets and coolers with non-alcoholic beverages. In deference to the family nature of the show, alcohol will not be allowed on site! “Bring your dancing shoes and your cameras. This is going to be an enjoyable evening,” Armitage laughs. “There will be prizes – and surprises – galore.” The Mick Armitage Band has been around for more than 20 years and has a loyal following across Ottawa and eastern Ontario. The upcoming Fitzroy Harbour stop is one of many in what is another busy year of entertaining for the band. They were recently part of the fun at the ever popular Merrickville Car Show which drew a huge turnout to the Rideau

Canal village on July 8. On Friday Aug. 24 at 8 p.m. the band will perform at the third annual Swampfest at Kinburn Community Centre Hall in West Carleton. Also part of that show will be Canadian champion fid-

EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES

Call it a generalization, but the closest some men get to herbs and flowers and gardening is when they get to Herbfest to plunk themselves down at the beer garden. Local microbrewery Bow’s was on tap

EMC news – The 17th annual Midsummer Herbfest, set for this Sunday, July 29, has one thing in common with the previous 16: plenty of new vendors. Twenty new ones to be exact, explained festival co-host and garden co-owner Gerry Bedard. But it’s not just for the obvious reason, which is to keep the some 3,000 attendees coming back. “We are a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting small and medium sized local businesses,” Bedard said, adding that newer ones can’t always afford to spend on marketing. “So this is their one chance out of the year to shine.” The clamour is intense to be among the 110 vendors at Herbfest, but rather than up the fee organizers have made a conscious decision to focus on showcasing area businesses. And the neighbour helping neighbour philosophy

even applies to the festival itself, which survives on tickets and vender fees – meaning no government grants. Even without government help, the festival is competitive with Ottawa’s Home and Garden Show: Herbfest tickets are $5 per person, $2 for parking; the Home and Garden is $12, $5 for parking. Bedard is quick to add the parking doesn’t get in the way of seeing the beautiful grounds, often remarked as a special place with good energy. “We didn’t pave paradise here,” he said. “The Herb Garden is a magical place for many people. It’s energized all year long.”

Gil Read memorial tourney to bring top fast-pitch teams to Carp this weekend Jeff Maguire

EMC sports - Reputation is everything when it comes to sporting events and when a competition is as successful as the ‘Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament’ has been during its relatively short history, the best teams are sure to come knocking. “We have some of the top (men’s) teams on the continent playing in Carp this year,” says Chris Read, son of the late Gil Read and one of the chief organizers of the fifth annual competition. “The (Toronto) Gators are coming and we’re really excited. They’re one of the best known teams in the country,” an obviously enthusiastic Read says. The 10-team tournament opens this Friday night (July 27) at Carp Fairgrounds and continues all day Saturday before concluding Sunday. There will be two games Friday night, seven on Saturday and two Sunday morning before the semi-final playoffs which will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday. The final is scheduled to begin between 3-3:30 p.m. Sunday. The competition includes five entries from the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL), including the Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric, which play their first game Saturday at 11 a.m. against the Gators. Other visiting entries include the defending champion Donnacona Blue Sox (Quebec City area), the Elkland Thunderbellies from Pennsylvania, Cornwall Pickups and Chisasibi Comets from an aboriginal community located on the eastern shore of James Bay in northern Quebec All funds raised during the competition will go to assist underprivileged children who wish to play organized sports.

Ottawa Valley Attack wins provincial silver medal Fastball team heads to Nationals EMC sports - The Ottawa Valley Attack girl’s fastball team headed to Palmerston last weekend to battle the top tier I junior teams in Ontario for the provincial championship. In five tightly contested games, the girls fought their way to a silver medal in the double knockout event. The second-place finish sends the team, with players from Arnprior, Almonte and Osgoode, to Nova Scotia next week for the Junior Tier I national championships. In their first game against the Bramalea Slam, the team showed they meant business. They used a well balanced attack to score a 10-0 win in a mercy rule shortened game. Everyone in the starting line-up scored at least one run. Tawny Godin’s grand slam was the big hit of the game. Emily Atkinson-Jones also drove in a pair of runs with a two-out single in the first inning. In game two, the Attack faced the Port Perry Angels and produced a close 3-1 win. Kiley O’Connor was the hot bat in this game going 2-for-2 with a walk and driving in two runs. Jean Cardona was dominant in the pitcher’s circle for the Attack, allowing only four hits, two walks and striking out 15 Port Perry batters. In game three, the Valley girls played the Brantford Bobcats who had also won two games. The Brantford players used their speed to force several errors and beat the Attack

7–1. Aisha O’Connor lead the offence for the Attack, going 3-for-4 and scoring the run. She was also the pitcher of record. The fourth game was between the Attack and the Mississauga North Tigers. Another tight game had the Attack up 1-0 after four innings but down 2–1 after 5 innings. Knowing the silver medal was at stake, the girls dug deep and produced three run in the sixth inning to take a 4–2 lead. The key hit of the inning was Grace Lonergan’s one-out double to tie the game. With the momentum back on their side, the Attack took advantage with three straight singles by Kiley O’Connor, Michelle Miller and Nadine D’Entremont to push the lead to 4-2. Mississauga made one last push in the seventh inning, getting two runners on, but Cardona induced two fly ball outs to end the game. Outfielders Bronwyn Ferguson and K. O’Connor made fine catches in support of Cardona. The team again faced Brantford for the gold medal but would have had to beat them twice to claim the gold. Knowing that Brantford was rested and waiting for the winner of the silver medal game, the Attack used the game to try some offensive and defensive strategies that might help them when facing this solid team in the Nationals.

Submitted Shelley O’Connor

The Ottawa Valley Attack is off to a national championship after the fastball team won silver at the provincials. Team members, in back from left, are Shawn O’Connor, Michelle Miller, Kelly Meek, Tawny Godin, Bob O’Connor, Bronwyn Ferguson, Nadine D’Entremont, and Brian Godin; and in front Kiley O’Connor, Grace Lonergan, Aisha O’Connor, Jean Cardona and Emily Atkinson-Jones. Miller was terrific in the pitchers circle, keeping the Attack in the game for all seven innings. Kelly Meek had a tow-out single to drive in two runs for the Attack. Winning the provincial silver med-

al has qualified the team to compete in the Junior Tier I National Championships being hosted by Truro, Nova Scotia Aug. 1-5. After four tournaments, the Attack has claimed two gold (Ancaster

and Niagara Falls) and one silver medal (Provincials). The 36 games the team has played have produced a 32-win and 4-loss record and first place in the Canada’s Capital Fastball League.

Dock dog championships at Avalon Ranch this weekend Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

If you’re looking to take in an event with the whole family this weekend, something you’ve probably never seen live before, Avalon Ranch on Lochwinnoch Road is the place to be. The ranch is hosting Mists of Avalon, the Dockdogs National Championship over three days. Competitions run this Friday, July 27 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., and continue Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. both days. A featured performer this weekend will be Mike Chiasson of the Quebec City area and his black lab Taz, says Avalon Ranch owner Mary Spurrell. “They have the world record for big air at 31 feet. The record was at 28 (feet) for years. He’s in a league of his own. “But this little guy is going to give him a run (soon),” Spurrell added while looking in the direction of her four-month-old Belgian Malinois

Jet. “Keep an eye on her. She’s amazing.” In big air, the handler throws the toy and they measure distance the dog jumps from the edge of the dock to the base of the dog’s tail. The dock itself is 41 feet long, making Taz’s performance even more impressive, Spurrell added. Two other events this weekend are extreme vertical and speed retrieve. In extreme vertical, instead of jumping for distance, the dog jumps for height to retrieve the toy. In speed retrieve, the buoy is at the end of the pool, and the dog swims as fast as he can to retrieve it. Avalon Ranch offers much more than most canine facilities. “The difference between us and all but one facility (Cookstown, near Barrie), they only compete, we train here (at Avalon Ranch),” Spurrell said.

Arnprior golf tourney planned for ‘Share the Puck program EMC sports – The Ollson Sports Group has launched a Share the Puck program, which will be promoted at an Arnprior golf tournament Aug. 17. The program focus is geared towards creating participation opportunities for youth between the ages of 7-12 in Ottawa and area. “I am real excited about introducing the game of ice hockey to kids who love the game as much as I do but do not have the resources to participate,” said director John Ollson. “It is a shame if money is the one thing

keeping kids from lacing up their blades and enjoying what is Canada’s greatest pastime. The Share the Puck initiative is a way for the Ollson Sports Group to give back to the community. Who knows ... we may discover the next Daniel Alfredsson, Erik Karlsson or Chris Phillips.” Share the Puck will focus on raising funds with the goal of helping remove some of the financial barriers young hockey players and their families face. By partnering with local community association centres, the program will work to identify program participants. The kick-off event July 30 launches a four days of programming at the Minto Skating Centre in Ottawa. The goal is to introduce the

game of hockey to up to 100 children from all walks of life through that four-day run at four community centres. The second event is the Share the Puck Golf Tournament Aug. 17 at the Arnprior Golf Club. Ollson Sports Group has shared expertise with the Ottawa hockey community for more than 20 years and wants to give more children a chance to experience the game first-hand. Ollson notes that one in three children cannot afford to play organized sports and hockey has one of the highest costs. More programs will be announced as the season proceeds . For information, contact Bryan Hetherington at info@sharethepuck.com.

Dogs taught diving and agility Continued from Page 33

When being taught or practicing, a dog is never pushed or forced into the water, she stressed. “We sell dog life jackets for beginner dogs,” Spurrell added. Spurrell also does dry-land field trip excursions for dogs. It is basically dry-land sledding in the summer. “Once he understands, a dog could pull you on a bicycle,” she said. A more common sport for dogs often seen on television is agility. The dog negotiates up to 20 obstacles while being directed by a handler, running against the clock, on a course designed by a judge. One of Spurrell’s previous dogs – Zip – conquered a challenge of 60 poles. Spurrell has been doing agility for 17 years. It was introduced in Canada shortly before, in 1988. There are several fun agility matches throughout the year at various locations. Spurrell got her start in dog training early. “When I was young, I took courses in canine behaviour. I started training neighbourhood

dogs. I’ve been doing it ever since.” Spurrell made the hunters happy. “The dogs would jump into the water to retrieve the ducks.” Walk-ons are welcome to compete this weekend. Each competitor has 90 seconds to perform when they are on the dock. Spurrell invites people to take in the action. “We look for people to come out and watch the competitions. The more the merrier. Bring the family. “The dogs like the cheering. It gets them all wound up,” she added. It is free admission for spectators. There will also be local vendors on hand selling their wares. This is the first of two national events combining teams of handler and dog Avalon Ranch will be hosting this year. The second will be Sept. 14 to 16. The Lochwinnoch location will also be the site of two championship events per year for at least the next five years. Avalon Ranch can be reached at 613-4324344.

Living history Home of Valley lumber baron Alexander McDonell unites past and present Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC lifestyle – A stately Sand Point home with deep historical roots is for sale. But the real story isn’t that it is on the market, but how it brings the past and present together under its roof. Located at 1543 River Rd. along the Ottawa River, the Renfrew County blue limestone house was built by Ottawa Valley lumber baron Alexander McDonell in 1832. McDonell owned a significant amount of property in his day and was known to be a generous man. The home is the last lumber baron home in private hands in the Valley. “It is a surprise what I didn’t know about him (McDonell),” says current owner Janet Carlile, who has called the residence home since 1999. That comment might be somewhat surprising considering Carlile knows a thing or two about local and Canadian history. Not only is she the curator of the Arnprior and District Museum, she is an independent, accredited antiques valuer and appraiser, as well a university lecturer, author, television personality (having been on Canadian Antiques Roadshow) and public speaker. McDonell emigrated to Canada from Knoydart in the Hebrides of Scotland in the early part of the 1900s. He, along with his five brothers and two sisters, moved with their parents to Perth. McDonell then out on his own moved to Sand Point in the 1820s, married Janet Young of Montreal (sister of Montreal MP John Young) and eventually became friends with notorious Ontario businessman and politician - Archibald McNab, the last Laird of McNab. He owned a great deal of property in the area, including the land that is now Braeside. It was McDonell who gave Sand Point its name. He also donated the land for the one-time Catholic church, which stood at Sand Point, and Carlile

The Renfrew County blue limestone home, built in 1832, is up for sale. says that is why it was named St. Alexander’s. He and his wife are buried in Arnprior’s Albert Street Cemetery. Carlile says history shows McDonell was also progressive for his time and took part in treaties with First Nations people. Carlile, a Canadian by birth, spent most of her adult life in Great Britain although she did visit her homeland on occasion. She, her husband John and their two (now grown) children left England in 1999 to start their lives in the historic home in Canada. It was going to be an adventure. “It has been through a few hands for a house of this age,”

Carlile admits of the home. “It is a wonderful home, but it has outgrown our needs.” The couple has invested a great deal of money in upgrading and modernizing certain aspects of the home, all the while staying loyal to the home’s heritage. “It has been our choice to restore it as much as we have,” Carlile emphasizes. “It has been a joy to do all of that, and not just as an historian.” Last summer, her husband did all the exterior pointing on the house, something that had not been done since 1860. “It is built so solidly,” she says, citing the

fact it has stood the test of time as well as it has. The decision to put the home up for sale was not an easy one as Carlile and her family found life there suited them. They enjoyed the history that surrounds them, the magnificent views from the front veranda and the beauty found in the gardens on the property. “This is not just local but national history,” says Carlile. “But, as with any property of this size, there is a lot of maintenance.” See HERITAGE Page 38

Heritage Sand Point house turned into a home Continued from Page 37

Theresa Fritz

The library, with many built-in bookshelves lining the walls, also features murals created for the visit of Lord Elgin to the area and Alexander McDonell’s home.

“The advantage of living in an antique home is you can live in a way you wouldn’t be necessarily be able to in a brand new house,” she notes. “It is a wonderful thing to live in such a home. And it is a home. It is not a house, it is a home.” And what a home it is. The two-storey, 5,100-sq.-foot McDonell house boasts 12-foot ceilings on the first level, a 40-ft. long entrance hallway, original doors and trim, a large formal living room, dining room and library. Carlile is particularly fond of the living room with is large, seven-foot window that provides a spectacular view of the Ottawa River, and the library with its built-in bookcases. “These rooms are meant for entertaining,” Carlile says, noting the McDonells were known to host many visitors, including Lord Elgin. “Lord Elgin came here with great fanfare and stayed at this house.” This visit was well documented in a series of Ottawa Journal articles written by Harry J. Walker in the 1920s. Carlile says one of the unique features she uncovered when her family moved into the home was a series of murals on the walls of the library. These murals – depicting life on the Ottawa River – were created in anticipation of Lord Elgin’s visit. Carlile uncovered some of them, but there are still others waiting to be discovered. “There are no secret passageways,” she admits. See A HOUSE Page 39

The view from of the Ottawa River from the front veranda of the historic Alexander McDonell home at 1543 River Rd. in Sand Point is breathtaking. The property is for sale and would appeal to a buyer who loves history and modern conveniences. Theresa Fritz

A house full of memories

There are so many impressive features inside the Alexander McDonell house, currently for sale by current owner Janet Carlile and her husband, including a 40-ft. hallway which leads from the front door to the original winding staircase and upper level rooms.

Continued from Page 38

The house boasts an updated and modern kitchen, something Carlile says was her first priority when it came to renovations in the home, as well as a mud room, pantry and one of the most impressive spaces – a family entertainment wing. When Carlile and her family moved into the home, this space was not completed. It was, in its previous life, the servants’ quarters and original Georgian kitchen. When they moved it, there was no ceiling and the space was exposed to the elements. Restoring this part of the home was a major undertaking and the results are outstanding. The large room has a tile floor, vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace and Georgian oven. There is also a loft with sleeping quarters. Walk up the large and winding staircase to the second level and you find four large bedrooms, a dressing room, bathroom and study. Carlile bristles at the notion the house is a museum more than a home. She says a new owner can make it their own in no time. “It is not a museum. I just happen to like antiques. Everything in this house is functional,” Carlile says. “It is a very comfortable house to be in ... In a home like this, you can do whatever you want to it.” No one likely has greater respect for the McDonell home than Carlile, but she does not feel she is the only one who can do the home justice. “I dislike the reference that I am the custodian of the past,” she says. “It really is a family home ...

Modern features of the home include an in-ground swimming pool, laundry room and heated floors in the family room, central air, as well as updated plumbing, electrical and a new septic system. Priced at $1.1 million, the home will appeal to a buyer who is looking for something special. “It (buyer) will have to be

someone who appreciates history,” Carlile says. “I expect it to be someone who is well established who wants the space and an adventure, because living in this house has been an adventure.” Recalling the many happy Thanksgivings, Christmases and social gatherings she has hosted in her home, Carlile hopes another family will become the proud new owners of 1543 River Rd. “I sincerely hope someone who shares in the joy of local history. This home is such a part of the history here,” she concludes. “As a home, it has been well used. It has been a lot of fun.”

Exercise extreme caution with smoking materials and ensure that they are fully out and disposed of in proper receptacles. Restrict machinery use in wooded areas (Bush Hogs, Mowers, ATV’s, Motorcycles, etc.)

Care Coach ‘needs support of all’ By Liz Wall Seniors At Home

EMC news - “This service (the Care Coach Para Transit Service) is of great importance for all our seniors and the physically impaired. The service needs the support of everyone living in our community,� says Dolores Parsons. Dolores and her husband, Robert ‘Bob’ Parsons, came to appreciate the ‘convenience’ that the Care Coach provided before his passing on July 2, 2011. “Bob suffered from Parkinson’s requiring the use of a walker in the earlier days. It was then we first came to know of the great service provided by the agency (Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program) as we would employ the service of the in-town car. “As the Parkinson’s took over his body, he was forced into a wheelchair and it was then we employed the service of the Care Coach. At this time he was attending the day program at The Grove twice a week and it was a ‘great convenience’ to have this service (Care Coach),� said Mrs. Parsons. “When Bob became a resident at the Bonnechere Manor Nursing Home, I found it increasingly difficult to get him into our van without the help of others. Of course, he enjoyed coming home for our

visits. But it became harder and harder for us to share private time at our home. “As we planned for our 56th Wedding Anniversary and both wanting to share this very special occasion with friends at our home in Arnprior, the Care Coach Service was a ‘true gift’ for us. Colin (Borshevsky, the Care coach driver) brought Bob home from Renfrew and returned him following our celebration. “It was wonderful and worry-free to have Bob brought home safely. Without the service (Care Coach Para Transit Transportation), our anniversary would not have been the same and the memories I have of that day would have been quite different. “Thank you to Colin and the Agency. I am for every thankful,� concluded Mrs. Parsons. KEEP THE WHEELS TURNING

The annual campaign to ‘Keep the Wheels Turning’ on the Para-Transit vehicle offered by Arnprior-BraesideMcNab Seniors at Home Program officially began July 5, as the organization reached out to the community for financial support of the Care Coach. As of Monday, $9,332.18 has been received in donations. The goal to ‘Keep the

Wheels Turning’ is $40,000. This amount represents the dollars required to operate the Care Coach for one year. Operating costs include: wages $27,365, fuel $5,346, insurance $1,738, license $74, communications $735 and maintenance $4,584 (note all based on 2011-2012 rates). THANK YOU

Thank you to Art Smith, Mike Marcel and all volunteers of the White Pine Festival committee for their $200 donation made July 19 - volunteers showing ‘true community spirit’ as a nonprofit group support another non-profit organization, Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program. Thank you to the wonderful ladies belonging to the ‘Happy Hookers’, a group of knitters who meet once a week during the Fall and Winter months and who generously support the campaign with a collection jar filled with coins collected before each meeting. Total collected this year $232.18. Thank you Shirley Matheson, Elaine Ingram, Marg Scharf, Josie Clouthier, Alice McVean, June Murray, Dorothy Lathem, Cathie Beck and Doris Brown. You ladies are the best! Thank you to resident Lester Savard of Arnprior for his generous donation. “My

sister, Catherine Patrois, has used the Care Coach many times and is very satisfied with the service,� writes Savard. “Though I have not used the service personally, you never know when you may need to,� he concluded. We also thank the 108 families (as of this press release) who have returned the ‘yellow envelope’ with their generous donations towards the Care Coach Campaign. All and every amount most appreciated. Your official receipt for income tax purposes is in the mail. The Care Coach began operation in February 2008 and is now into its fifth year of operation and because it receives no government funding it must reach out to the community each year. “It is the community’s generosity, such as mentioned previous, that is necessary to make sure this essential service remains active and viable in our community,� said Seniors at Home executive director Dennis Harrington. Since 2008 the Care Coach has been on over 8,000 trips locally, as well as to Renfrew, Pembroke, North Bay, Fitzroy Harbor, Pakenham, Constance Bay, Almonte and Ottawa. It has now reached an average of close to 300 trips per month. INCOME TAX RECEIPTS

Whether you drop off, mail or call the office with a credit card donation, you will be issued an official donation receipt for income tax purposes. Receipts are issued on all donations $10 and over. Please take time to return your donation using the bright yellow return-envelope. Mail

EMC lifestyle - “I can’t believe you let those girls go in swimming in their underwear,” Aunt Lizzie said at the supper table. “It really isn’t underwear,” my sister Audrey said. And she explained how Mother had made bloomer-like bottoms, and sleeveless tops, because we couldn’t afford real swimming suits from Walker’s Store in Renfrew. She told Aunt Lizzie just about all the girls on the Northcote Side Road were similarly dressed when they swam in the Bonnechere. Well, not my little friend Joyce. But she lived in a brick house, and had a real flush toilet in their bathroom. No outside backhouse, and Eaton’s catalogue on a spike at their farm! And she had a real bathing suit, and a bright red rubber bathing cap, and matching rubber shoes. But she was still my friend, and it made no difference to Joyce that I was dressed in hand-me-downs, or home-made blouses and dresses out of flour bag, and wore an outfit Mother had made out of broadcloth at nine cents a yard at Walker’s Store to swim in! But it seemed to be a major issue to Aunt Lizzie. And she wasn’t going to let it die. She continued to harp on it right up until it was time to go to bed, adding, as usual her reminding Mother in a subtle way, that she wasn’t really good farm-wife material, coming from New York and all. I knew Mother couldn’t wait to see the last of Aunt Lizzie. It was a hot and blistering day when we got up the next morning, and loaded Aunt Lizzie and her genuine cow-hide leather suitcases onto the wagon for the trip into Renfrew to the station. We had to take the wagon, because we all couldn’t fit into the Model T. We five kids never wanted to miss a trip into Renfrew when there was no school, and so we piled on the wagon, hanging on for dear life, with Mother, Father and Aunt Lizzie sitting on the one seat at the front. We all waved as the train pulled out of the station, and even Father said he was glad to see the last of his sister. “Once a year is once too often,” he said. Well, Aunt Lizzie was only gone a week when a parcel, wrapped in brown paper, arrived in the mail. And lo and behold, when Mother opened it, there were two brand new bathing suits, one for me, and one for my sister Audrey. They were identical in style and colour, but, of course, in two different sizes. They were white and navy stripes, and even though it was late in the day, Mother said we could try them on and take a fast run down to the Bonnechere and have a dip. Well, you never saw two girls strip down so fast in your life! Audrey and I never even stopped to dip our toes in the water to test it first! We dove in, and bobbed up and down, splashed each other, and got the suits thoroughly soaked. Mother had told us we could only stay in the water a few minutes ... just long enough to try out the new swim suits. There was supper to think of as we climbed out of the water. The suits were as stiff as boards. Audrey’s didn’t look too bad, because she had a figure underneath. See MARY COOK Page 43

LUNCH IN THE PARK THANKS TO SENIORS AT HOME Submitted Liz Wall

The 12th annual Seniors barbecue at Robert Simpson Park Thursday, July 19 featured live entertainment by Kyle Felhaver & Friends. Presented by the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program, the barbecue had perfect weather, which helped attract the event’s best turn-out. In all, 400 M & M burgers were served. Left, agency volunteer Denyse Tripp doles out hamburgers and Wes’s Fries to the hungry. Seniors at Home thanks everyone who attended and all those who donated product and time toward the event.

Mary Cook: wool didn’t work Continued from Page 42

But mine completely left my body; it kept the water locked in it like a sealed drum. The weight of it caused it to leave my upper body, and it stretched all the way down to my knees. I couldn’t wait to get rid of it, and Audrey and I waddled our way back home to show Mother what had happened, and have her try to explain why two lovely bathing suits had turned into suits of armour when they got wet. “They’re pure wool! That’s why,” Mother said, as she turned the suits inside out to examine them more closely. Well, as they dried over the back fence, they stayed stiff as boards. And as they dried they got smaller and smaller, which suited Audrey and me just fine. Neither of us had any intention of ever wearing them again. It was back to the homemade broadcloth bloomers and blousettes for us. Of course, we had to write Aunt Lizzie thank you letters and we were never allowed to lie. I told her thanks, saying I had never had a store-bought bathing suit before, and the colour was very nice. I didn’t tell her that both suits had been put in the trunk upstairs, or that one day they could probably be seen in one of the braided rugs Mother made every Fall out of old scraps of wool material rescued from the hand-me-down box.

I could choose a time of laughing, a time of happiness and fun. I could choose a time that tried me, through everything I’ve done. I sat and thought about what moment, would always make me smile. One that would always push me, to walk that extra mile.

McKenzie Dean

If I’m feeling sad and low, if I’m struggling with what to do. I can go and open my little safe, and watch my moment through.

(A.J. Charbonneau Public School)

There are moments I can think of, that would lift my spirits everytime. The moments when you picked me up, when the road was hard to climb.

Congratulations to our beautiful daughter and sister on your accomplishments. We love you with all of our hearts.

CL365240

I’ve dug deep inside my heart, found the safe and looked inside, there was room for lots of moments, in fact hundreds if I tried. I’m building my own little library, embedded in my heart, for all the moments spent with you, before you had to part. I can open it up whenever I like, pick a moment and watch it through, My little library acts as a promise, We will never ever forget you Love Always, Ann, Donald, Jael and Colin MARSHALL, Dorothy In memory of my dear sister Dorothy Marshall who passed away July 26, 2000.

HEATHER ANNE CATHERINE ROBERTSON

On that day my heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day. But missing you is a heartache That never goes away.

We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the community and the many people who took the time to come out to the Visitation and the Funeral Service. To all of you who sent cards, owers and donations, or brought food , we were sincerely touched by your support to our family. Special thanks to the men that Dad asked in his ďŹ nal wishes to be his pallbearers and who gave up their Saturday on a beautiful summer day to honor him and escort him to his ďŹ nal resting place. We’ll never forget your kindness and friendship to Dad; Tim Briscoe, Jim Tripp, Koos VanLindenburg, Barry Gould, Ray Campbell, Kevin Leach, Barry McKeen, Jack McLaren, Clarence Pettigrew and John Mains. Thank you to Rev. Dr. James Y. Min, of Grace United Church, Cobden for the beautiful Celebration of Life service, who cared so much for us and our family and ensured Dad’s Service was one that reected the loving spirit of family, friendship and community that truly reected Dad’s life. Your gift to Dad of playing hymns on your mouth organ at the end of the service would have given Dad great pleasure. Thank you to Bonnie Helferty and Wilf Smith for fulďŹ lling Dad’s wish that you sing together Dad’s request of “One Day at a Timeâ€?. To Barry McKeen for not only reading the ‘Reection’ Dad had requested, but also for sharing a few of your humorous memories of time spent with Dad. Sincere thanks to Jack McLaren for his genuine and heartfelt tribute to Dad. We would also like to express our appreciation to the members of the Masons who gathered at the wake and held a special service as a ďŹ nal send off to their friend and fellow member. Thank you does not seem to be enough to express our gratitude to Margaret and Nancy Bulmer for holding a special luncheon in her home for our family, providing us not only with their loving nurturing but also an opportunity for our whole family to be together late Friday afternoon. We will always remember your kindness and generosity. To Dr. Radke and Staff of the 2nd oor of Renfrew Victoria Hospital. We thank you for your care and expertise in caring for Dad during his short stay and particularly for your patience and kindness to us at the time of dad’s passing. Our family would like to say to the UCW women of Grace United Church in Cobden how much we appreciate the luncheon provided for us after the service and allowing us time to be together as family, friends and community. We wish to acknowledge all the hard work done by so few of you to give us this special time together. Thank you to each and every one of you. Thank-you to Wayne Heubner and Warren Bennett of Fraser-Morris & Heubner Funeral Home for all of your time, consideration, guidance and professionalism shown to our family through the planning and organizing of ďŹ nal arrangements for Dad.

John Boese In loving memory of a dear Husband, Father and Grandfather who passed away July 23, 2010. God saw that he was getting tired, A cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him and whispered, “Come with Me.” With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our Hearts to prove to us He only takes the best!

A million times I’ve missed you, A million times I’ve cried, And if my love could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a memory, That no one else can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day you left our home. Always missed and loved, Till we meet again, Mother

LCBO stores raise funds to help children’s dreams come true EMC news – The public can help support The Sunshine Foundation of Canada by making a donation at any of the more than 620 LCBO stores throughout Ontario, including Arnprior’s. Donation boxes for Sunshine Foundation were set up Sunday and will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters until Aug. 18.

Dreams including those of three-year-old Sienna, whose face will adorn the coin boxes throughout the campaign. Sienna is challenged daily by a rare medical condition and

EMC lifestyle - I first put this soup recipe in my column a few years ago, and it was so popular that I’m repeating it. The idea of having cold soup rather than hot may seem strange, but it can be wonderfully refreshing on a hot summer day. Chilled soup is no stranger to people living in hot climates. Spanish gazpacho is a tomato-based soup that’s almost like a salad in a bowl. French Vichysoisse, made with potatoes and leeks, is traditionally served cold. And one of my own favourites is a tomato soup flavoured with basil and mint. When you’re serving a light supper that’s mainly salads and cold cuts, a bowl of chilled soup makes a perfect first course. It whets the appetite, but doesn’t fill you up. This carrot soup is delicious when chilled. It can be served in mugs for a casual outdoor picnic, or in your best china soup bowls as a first course for a summer lunch or dinner party. Fresh ginger gives this carrot soup a totally different flavour.

Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

Depending on how much you use, the intensity of the flavour will be either just noticeable or very distinctive. If you’re not sure which you prefer, go for the smaller amount first. The recipe calls for milk, but you can use cream if you want a richer flavour. If you’re a traditionalist, this soup can be served hot rather than cold. GINGER CARROT SOUP

2 tbsp. butter 1 onion, finely chopped 1/2 clove garlic, minced 1 to 2 tsp. grated fresh ginger root 1/2 tsp. curry powder 3 cups sliced carrots 1/4 cup uncooked rice 4 1/2 cups water 2 chicken bouillon cubes

2 cups milk salt, pepper to taste In a large saucepan, melt the butter, and cook the onion and garlic until softened. Add the grated ginger and curry powder, and cook two or three minutes more without letting the mixture brown. Add the carrots, rice, water, bouillon cubes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat then cover. Simmer until the carrots and rice are cooked, about 45 minutes. Puree in a blender, in two batches if necessary. Add the milk. If you’re serving this hot, return the soup to the saucepan and reheat, without boiling. If serving cold, chill in the refrigerator. Makes six servings.

NATURE

Your Community Newspaper

Enjoy masquerade parties in your own garden EMC lifestyle – This summer the scorching sun has rendered lawns brown and caused many plants to bow in submission. But some wildflowers have survived and in damp meadows, pink Joe-pye Weed and white Boneset are currently alive with butterflies. Recently I watched dozens of orange Silver-bordered, Atlantis, and Aphrodite fritillaries compete with American Ladies and Red Admirals for the nectar of those flowers. Dozens of wasps and flies joined them. In drier habitats, a few wildflowers are also blooming. Groups of tenacious Ox-eye Daisy, Yarrow, Queen Anne’s Lace, and Viper’s Bugloss currently decorate open fields and untended gardens. Interestingly, those plants are nonnative. While some may have escaped from the gardens of early settlers,

There’s someone for everyone. Ambush bugs have bulging eyes stabbing parts in the mouth.

most arrived as seeds carried in soil used as ballast on sailing ships. When the ships neared the shore, the dirt, which came from the sailors’ homeland, was u n c e r e m o n i - Michael Runtz ously dumped Nature’s Way to lighten the ships, allowing them to float into shallower water. Some seeds survived and germinated, and over the years their descendants eventually spread into our region. Wildflowers also house many predators. Crab Spiders and Ambush Bugs sit with lethal patience, waiting for prey to move within reach. Currently, the latter are especially common on Queen Anne’s Lace and Yarrow, often sitting near the centre of the flower. Ambush Bugs are odd creatures with oversized raptorial arms and bulging eyes. Their flat backs are black and yellow, a pattern that looks like dead plant material, making them hard to see unless they move. They have stabbing mouthparts that deliver a knockout mixture of poison and digestive enzymes into whatever prey their mantis-like arms grab. Often you find mating pairs with the larger female enjoying a meal while the male is enjoying her.

Recently I was photographing an Ambush Bug when I noticed a bit of motion on the Yarrow beside it. I could only see a bit of dead material, but when I tried to gently lift it, it refused to yield. Then it moved again. I realized it was not debris but a live creature! Upon closer examination, I could discern it was a small brown caterpillar that bore peculiar flattened projections on its upper surface. These housed little chunks of Yarrow petals. The creature was a Wavy-lined Emerald, better known as a Camouflaged Looper. Loopers are moth caterpillars commonly called “Inchworms.” Camouflaged Loopers are often found eating the petals of Blackeyed Susans and Yarrow. They can have different appearances depending on the shape and colour of the petal fragments added to their body for camouflage. When caterpillars grow, they shed their outer skin several times. After each moult, Camouflaged Loopers once again cover themselves with plant fragments. In his lavishly illustrated Caterpillars of Eastern North America (an essential book for all caterpillar enthusiasts), David Wagner refers to this species as “a Mardi Gras caterpillar that is out of costume only after a molt.” If you want to see a Camouflaged Looper, you better look now for Mardis Gras will soon be over! The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Rare plant found during High Lonesome BioBlitz EMC news - On a beautiful day in June, a group of 65 naturalists wandered the network of trails, sat quietly by beaver ponds and roamed the small fields of the High Lonesome Nature Reserve near Pakenham. They were trying to identify and record the various species of flora and fauna that make their home there. Led by 19 experts, the enthusiastic participants documented an impressive list of species to be added to the inventory: 340 different species of plants, some 150 insects and arachnids, 85 birds, 22 mammals, 12 frogs and toads, 6 reptiles, 62 fungi and some mosses. Seven species at risk were found on the property. It was nearing dusk, when Michael Runtz and Eleanor Thomson made the discovery of the day - Mountain Clubmoss (Lycopodium selago). It is a northern Ontario plant very rare in this part of the province. The BioBlitz was organized by the Nature Reserve owners, Mississippi Madawaska Land

EMC news - The Ministry of Natural Resources and the OPP laid 63 charges and issued 48 warnings during a Victoria Day weekend enforcement blitz at Algonquin Provincial Park. From May 18 to 21, conservation officers from Pembroke District and the Bancroft and Guelph Districts canine units, OPP, and Algonquin park wardens stopped 2,441 vehicles and checked 853 anglers and campers in Algonquin Provincial Park. Officers were at check points on Highway 60 at the Algonquin Provincial Park’s west and east gates and patrolling on the water checking for compliance with the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, Ontario Fishery Regulations, Liquor Licence Act, Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act, Highway Traffic Act and the Criminal Code. Charges were issued for: having over-limits of lake trout, possessing fish skinned and/or packed so that species or number cannot readily be identified or counted, possessing fish of a prohibited size, fishing without a licence, and fishing with too many lines. Warnings were issued for transporting fish unlawfully taken or possessed and failing to produce a fishing licence. Five whole lake trout and nine packages of unidentifiable fish fillets were seized.

Simply record your kilometres each week and forward them and any reflections you would like to share with others to Anda Sprudzs (andaone@sympatico.ca) and she will try to have them posted, as well as other pilgrim prayers, on

the Galilee website or maybe the Galilee Facebook page, and email them to those registered. At the end of the walk last year, some people made a donation to Galilee; for some this was a financial donation, while for others it was a commitment of time to Galilee. “In any event we recognize that we are blessed by having Galilee

LHIN invests in nurses and telemedicine technology vantage of the latest technology for virtual patient consultations, assessments, training and knowledge exchange. Using telemedicine, health care professionals are able to deliver clinical care using live, two-way videoconferencing systems and related diagnostic equipment. For example, telemedicine nurses can meet patients in a rural location and provide information such as blood pressure and respiratory func-

tion instantaneously to a physician at a specialized hospital in Ottawa. Four new telemedicine host sites have been put in place in the Champlain region. They are: Hawkesbury & District General Hospital, North Lanark Community Health Centre, Pembroke General Hospital, and South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre. The sites work in partnership with other health agencies.

The Ottawa Hospital is a fifth site, playing a co-ordinating role with other hospitals in Ottawa to provide health-professional consultant services. To date, nine of the 15 new nurses have been hired and received training. Telemedicine is growing steadily in the Champlain region. In 2011-12, there were roughly 22,600 clinical telemedicine encounters in the region, up from about 15,700 the year

before. The majority of the encounters were for physician specialties such as psychiatry, dermatology, nephrology (kidney) and pediatrics, as well as for diabetes check-ups, nursing visits, and dietary consultations. The Champlain LHIN is investing $951,000 annually in new telemedicine nurses. In 2011-12, the use of telemedicine in Ontario has resulted in an estimated $44 million in avoided travel costs. R00115118042

EMC news - More Eastern Ontario rural residents will benefit from specialized care closer to home as the Champlain LHIN hires 15 new telemedicine nurses to expand care delivery. For patients, this means improved access to health care, less travel and an increase in the types of health care services available at more than 150 places across the Champlain LHIN. The telemedicine nurses take ad-

Eastern Star backs fight against bone disease EMC lifestyle – The Order of The Eastern Star, an international organization made up of both men and women, supports many provincial and local projects. Each year, provincial and district projects are chosen to support local charities. This year, District Deputy Grand Matron of District 14, Betty Condie, chose Osteogenesis Imperfecta or Brittle Bone Disease as the district project. Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic defect that impairs the body’s ability to make strong bones. Some children have a more severe form of the condition where their bones break easily and they may have hundreds of breaks during their life time. Many children, however, have a milder form of the condition and may go through

their lives with fewer fractures. District 14 encompasses an area that includes all of Renfrew County, with chapters in Arnprior, Carleton Place, Pembroke, Ottawa, Renfrew, Winchester and Morrisburg. It is one of two of the largest districts in the province with a membership of 471. Across the province of Ontario, there are 21 districts and 118 chapters. Throughout the past year, district chapters, individuals and fundraising events helped raise $2,100 for Osteogenesis Imperfecta. On June 28, Condie presented a cheque to Donald Moore, member of the board for the Shrine Hospital in Montreal at Golden Jubilee Chapter in Carleton Place.

Eastern Star District Deputy Grand Matron of District 14, Betty Condie, and members of the group, including those from the Arnprior chapter, present $2,100 to Shrine Hospital board member Donald Moore to be used to help with Brittle Bone Disease. Submitted Betty Condie
