Sweet home Arnprior The muskie is in the news this week for two completely different reasons. Letting a muskie die and making fun of it isn’t sitting well with some people. However, an upcoming muskie tournament will help a good cause and is a reminder that the White Pine Festival is only two week away.

Council enthusiastic over Habitat for Humanity’s desire to build in town Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news – Habitat for Humanity wants to call Arnprior home.

That was the message delivered to Arnprior town council Monday by members of the organization. The municipal presentation was a follow-up to a community information meeting held at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall June 27.

“We want to carry on the process of community information,” explained Habitat board member Barry Burke, a former Arnprior resident who calls White Lake home.

Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 in Americus, Georgia, started by Millard and Linda Fuller. The couple was concerned with the amount of people in their area living in ‘poverty housing’.

Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter is very involved with the organization, focusing on a lot of international builds.

“Our vision is to mobilize volunteers and community partners to build community housing,” Habitat CEO Donna Hicks told council.

“Our value is housing for all.”

Hicks was quick to emphasize the organization does not “give away” the houses it builds. Instead, the homes are sold to partnering families as an interest-free, long-term mortgage.

In lieu of a down payment, the family donates 500 hours of unpaid labour to help build their home, or they volunteer in one of the two of the Ottawa ReStores or help in the community is some other way.

EMC events – Despite a couple of days of rainy weather that has become synonymous with the event, the 158th Arnprior Fair Aug. 9-12 went off without a hitch.

“We had two pretty good, wet days Thursday and Friday,” said Jeff Desarmia, president of the Arnprior Agricultural Society. “But there was no big increase or decrease in attendance from last year.”

The rain and the success of the fair

bodes well for local farmers affected by recent drought conditions, as the fair board committed to handing over half the event’s proceeds to ease their strain. The final numbers are still being tallied, said Desarmia, but in a few weeks the organization will be ready to announce the funding and present the cheque.

A big increase evident this year was in volunteer participation, said Desarmia.

Volunteers thanked for key role in fair’s success Continued from front

He credited all the event volunteers, both new and those who have helped out for years, for their help in keeping costs down and making sure the event ran smoothly.

Other individuals and organizations, including the Ontario Provincial Police, lent extra support and their help is much appreciated, said Desarmia.

Friday night headliners Trooper put on a good show, he said, but rainy weather kept crowds at around the 500 mark. It was wet and muddy,

but the crowd loved the show, said one fan.

Team penning was another successful event.

“Team penning was 110 per cent. We’ve got a very good group in the Ottawa Valley Team Penning Association running the show,” said Desarmia.

A decision was made back in the spring to nix the 4-H shows that had traditionally been part of the fair. Participation in the event just was not growing and with factors including higher costs to trans-

port animals, Desarmia said the move made sense.

Lucky winner of the ATV raffled off as a fundraiser by the Agricultural society was Phil Wieland. The draw was made on Sunday afternoon at the fair.

The midway, truck and tractor pull, strongman competition, Teen Tribute All Stars, Little Ray’s Reptiles shows, and Sunday morning breakfast were all popular with fair-goers.

The derby was a great, wellattended event said long-time

organizer Scott Rancourt.

Mishaps were few, but Rancourt himself did get knocked unconscious in the first heat of the eight-cylinder class.

He was sent to hospital to get checked out, but returned to the event in time for the final.

Eight-cylinder champion was Dwayne Lalonde of Arnprior. John Chartrand of Navan was first in the six-cylinder class and Bill Lamendeau of Arnprior came out on top in the four-cylinder class.

Sandbagger trophy went to Brad Carron.

Habitat for Humanity CEO Donna Hicks (foreground) and family services and faith relations co-ordinator Rev. Jocelyn Livingstone spoke to Arnprior councillors during the Aug. 13 council meeting. Habitat would like to build a home in the community.

Community involvement crucial for Habitat for Humanity project Continued from front

“For families, it is like winning the lottery,” Hicks said, adding families who get a Habitat home do pay for their gas, water, hydro, gas and telephone.

“The hardest job is how to choose a family,” she admitted, noting there is great need.

Homes traditionally range from 1,000 to 1,200 sq. ft. and have three bedrooms and one bathroom. Larger families can often get a home with a second bathroom. Hicks said the homes are energy efficient and have “no frills.”

It takes roughly 380 volunteer “slots” or shifts to build a home. Tradespeople and others are needed to make a home a go, as are in-kind donations from area businesses, Hicks said.

The community has to raise $75,000 in professional services and in-kind donations and $75,000 in cash before work begins.

One of the key aspects of Habitat for Humanity’s home-building strategy is to make sure the home fits in with the culture of its neighbourhood.

“The most important thing is to make our house look like all the other houses on the street,” Hicks noted.

But paramount to any Habitat build is community involvement.

“We are always looking for grants and partners,” Hicks said, adding the organization is changing its name from National Capital Region Habitat for Humanity to Eastern Ontario Region.

“Our boundaries are expanding and we are excited about that,” Hicks noted.

She said the organization recently completed its 38th build with a home in Carleton Place and noted $75,000 in cash was donated by a local businessman to get the project going because he saw a need in his community.

“How can you help us? We’d like to come to your community. We understand there is a need here,” Hicks said.

“We are looking for piece of land that is free or affordable. Carleton Place has been a won-

derful experience and Perth is welcoming us with open arms.”

She emphasized it is desirable to select a local family and keep them in the community.

When asked a question about home ownership, Hicks said once a home is transferred to a family, the family has to keep it for the first 20 years or sell it back to Habitat. That security is in place to avoid having the house flipped quickly for sale.

“After your mortgage is paid, the house is yours to do with as you wish,” Hicks explained.

Habitat is also working with Bonneville Homes on building a prefabricated home.

Bonneville is selling Habitat the home at their cost.

Reeve Walter Stack wondered how building a prefabricated home would possible affect volunteer numbers.

Hicks said that was not a concern because even though the home is prefabricated, the floors, kitchen and bathrooms are not installed and no painting is done.

Mayor David Reid eagerly asked what the next steps are to getting Habitat going in Arnprior.

“We need to talk to your planning department and talk to your service clubs and faith groups and then talk to the social service agencies to see how many families are in need,” she responded.

“Within the Town of Arnprior there are 250, maybe 300, social housing units,” Stack offered. “We want it (Habitat house) to go to an Arnprior family.”

Habitat for Humanity likes to take a family out of social housing so that frees up a spot for someone else in need.

“That is something we do well. We raise the money in the community and we keep the family in the community,” Hicks emphasized.

Reid said town staff will be in touch with Hicks to “talk about the next steps” in getting things going in Arnprior.

White Lake, Usborne eyed for paving John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – Renfrew County has some extra money left in its road budget and that could mean good news for motorists using two County roads in McNab-Braeside.

Mayor Mary Campbell told council Tuesday that the White Lake Road and Usborne Street are tops on the list for moving work ahead a year if the money is indeed available.

The county’s transportation committee is looking into the possibility of work on four roads, with two in McNab-Braeside considered a good bet for top priority.

If approved, about three kilometres of White

Lake Road from Campbell Drive to Young Road could be repaved this fall instead of next year.

As well, repaving a 4.3-kilometre stretch of Usborne Street from Braeside to McLean Drive is also a possibility to be moved up a year, Campbell said.

“That would be great ... it’s really rough,” said Coun. Brad McIlquham.

Other possible uses for the extra money are stretches of Hyndford and Forest Lea roads.

The County is also in the midst of a threephase reconstruction of Flat Rapids Road, but that project has been delayed by a landowner who is refusing to agree to the plans.

Town’s new CAO officially on the job Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news – It was only fitting that Michael Wildman’s first day as the Town of Arnprior’s new chief administrative officer (CAO) would include a council meeting.

Wildman sat behind his name plate at the council table during Monday’s meeting, marking the first time a CAO has done so since last October.

While that marked the first official council meeting for Wildman, he has been working quietly behind the scenes for the past month getting familiarized with his new position and local municipal issues.

“I’d like to officially welcome our new CAO Michael Wildman,” said Mayor David Reid as the first order of business at the Aug. 13 meeting.

Reid said he liked walking down the hall at the town hall Monday morning and seeing Wildman in the CAO’s office.

The town has been without a top administrator since Oct. 20, 2011, when the town parted ways with its long-time CAO Larry Donaldson. A replacement was hired, but Kevin McLlwain quit for personal reasons on the day he was to begin.

Wildman has a background long range financial planning, engineering, land use planning and economic development.

He has 25 years of municipal government experience, having worked in

public works, transportation, environmental services, community development, planning and growth management, and administration departments.

His former employers include the Region of Ottawa-Carleton, the City of Gloucester, the City of Ottawa, and most recently, the Township of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal.

He has been a municipal manager for over 12 years, including as a manager of one of the largest branches in the City of Ottawa’s planning and growth management department, and as the CAO at the Township of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal.

Wildman is a registered professional planner with the Ontario Professional Planners Institute, a certified member of the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists, and a member of the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario.

Michael has been working behind the scenes for the last month or so … that shows the commitment he brings to the job,” Reid noted, adding he hopes to see that for many years to come.

For his part, Wildman said he was happy to be on the job.

Council approves Gillies building window project Federal grant program eyed to assist with costly work on museum window restoration Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news – Window restoration at the DA Gillies Building will likely proceed sooner than later, despite some council concerns about spending money earlier than expected.

During Monday’s town council meeting, local legislators approved the museum building’s windows restoration project by committing $140,000, subject to one-third of the funding being secured through the new federal Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF).

The town’s financial commitment was required in order to submit an application to the CIIF for funding of one-third of the cost, or $46,662.

Treasurer David Pollard told councillors the funding program is a

new federal initiative offering $49.6 million over two years to support the rehabilitation and improvement of existing community infrastructure facilities in Ontario.

Maximum funding is for 50 per cent of an approved project, although Pollard noted priority would be given to projects only asking for one-third funding.

If the federal funding is received, the town would be required to pay $93,000 as its share of the work. As a condition of the grant, the work must be substantially completed by March 2014.

“The DA Gillies window restoration project will have the best chance for grant approval,” Pollard said, adding it is “ready to roll” to tender as soon as the grant is approved.

While other projects – such as roof repairs and replacement of the marmorite surface of the pool, both at the Nick Smith Centre – were considered, Pollard said the fact the Nick Smith Centre has received funding under the RINC infrastructure program make those projects less likely to be successful under the new CIIF program.

During 2012 budget deliberations, council deferred the window restoration at the DA Gillies Building and currently has $25,000 allocated for the work.

The building is the major focal point for the community and is home to the Arnprior and District Museum.

It is the former Arnprior Post Office Customs House built in 1896 and is based on a design by Thomas Fuller,

who was the architect of the original Parliament Buildings in Ottawa.

The building was saved from demolition in the early 1960s due to the generosity of David and Jessie Gillies.

Councillor Dan Lynch was the first to voice some financial concerns, noting council deferred the work and agreed to do it over a period of time.

“I am concerned about (doing the work) all at once,” he said.

Mayor David Reid agreed council had looked at doing it over a period of time, but the opportunity of getting federal funds should not be overlooked.

“Anytime you can target free money, you have to take advantage of that,” said Reid. Reeve Walter

Stack said he didn’t think any money was free and the town needed to be sure it could meet the financial obligations of the project.

“We did defer this. Council agreed (to do work) over 2013 and 2014,” Reid acknowledged. It is a project that will do the best (under the new program) … I really think we need to see it through.”

Councillor Mark Willmer agreed the town needed to move forward at this juncture.

“We did defer it (project) for this year, but we have to do that work,” Willmer said. “It is the building people identify with Arnprior. We can’t let that building deteriorate.”

In the end, council unanimously agreed to support the project and grant request to CIIF.

Ontario Works employees receive pay boost, benefit reduction in new deal John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – Renfrew County’s Ontario Works employees will receive a 10 per cent wage boost over five years, but a reduction in benefits drops the increase to about 7 per cent.

The details of the new deal were released last week after Renfrew County council ratified the deal, 16 days after the workers, members of CUPE Local 4989, approved the agreement.

The Arnprior and Renfrew offices, closed since the workers went on strike May 10, reopened Friday, Aug. 10.

A back-to-work protocol was agreed upon in afternoon and evening talks between the two sides Aug. 8 after County council unanimously approved the contract that morning.

“It is my understanding everyone is back to work today (Aug. 13),” Arnprior Reeve Walter

Stack said while delivering his county council report to Arnprior council Monday.

Stack reported the contract is for five years, calling for a 7.03 per cent increase for workers over that period. That works out to 1.406 per cent per year, he explained.

“I think that is behind us and we (county) are not sorry to have that behind us,” he said.

The raises for the workers, who are paid between $38,000 and $59,000 annually, include a $1,000 signing bonus, with a 2.5 per cent boost in 2012; 2 per cent in 2013; 2 per cent in 2014; 2.5 per cent in 2015; and 3 per cent in 2016.

However, with the cost sharing of benefits re-negotiated, the social services budget bottom line increase on wages and benefits will drop to 7.03 per cent, or 1.4 per cent annually over five years, the county explained.

The new contract includes a phased-in cost-

sharing for benefits over the course of the fiveyear contract, standardizing the short-term disability to match the benefits of other County of Renfrew CUPE employees.

It also shifts the costs of long-term disability from the employer to CUPE employees at the end of the five-year contract. Currently, the county assumes 100 per cent of the long-term disability costs, but they will be phased in over the next five years so that CUPE employees assume 100 per cent of the costs in 2016.

The workers’ reluctance to take on full cost of disability insurance and the proposed reduction of benefits were the main sticking points to reaching an agreement.

In reporting the details to County council, the County of Renfrew negotiating team advised they were able to “achieve the parameters of the mandate set out by council heading

into negotiations.”

County Warden Bob Sweet thanked the negotiating team for its efforts to carry out the instructions of County council. “We are pleased with the ratification of this contract today (Aug. 8),” he said.

“Whether it is a strike or a lockout, the ratepayers and residents of the County of Renfrew are inconvenienced. On behalf of all of County Council, I want to thank the residents of our county for their patience over the last few months during this labour disruption.”

Offices in Pembroke and Killaloe joined those in Renfrew and Arnprior in providing full customary service last Friday.

The offices are open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Monday to Friday, and closed for lunch from noon to 1 p.m., except for the Pembroke location.

Latest phone scam targeting children Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

EMC news - Kathy Foote’s two children are young adults who can fend for themselves, but she’s concerned that local youngsters may be targets of the latest type of telephone scam.

Foote, who lives in Horton, received a phone call Monday afternoon from a man with a thick East Indian accent who asked about the Windows on her computer. When she said she didn’t have a personal computer, he chuckled and took a different direction, apologizing and saying he was actually calling from Census Canada.

At that point, he asked if she had any children. She promptly told him it was none of his business, and terminated the phone call. The caller, says Foote, was probably hoping to call again and get a youngster on the phone, home from school for the summer holidays, who might pass on personal family information from any home computer She called the Renfrew OPP, which redirected her to the region’s anti-fraud unit toll-free at 1-888-495-8501.

Foote was told that any neighbours receiving similar calls should contact the anti-fraud unit. She was also told this is the most recent tactic by fraud artists – targeting children in efforts to get them to and provide personal computer information.

EMC events - If landing a massive muskie is on your to-do list, Aug. 25 is a great opportunity to cash in on your angling expertise while helping out the Renfrew Victoria Hospital dialysis unit.

The Ottawa Valley Muskie Club is hosting its second annual White Pine Festival Open and cash prizes are up for grabs in the team event.

Bill Craig of the OVMC said he hopes more local anglers will join the muskie enthusiasts from across the Valley and beyond who entered the tournament last year. “Last year we had a very good turnout and this year we’re hoping to improve on that,� he said.

It’s an opportunity to support a great local cause, said Craig, with 50 per cent of the proceeds going to the RVH dialysis unit.

Anglers can fish the upper Ottawa or Madawaska Rivers and prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place for total length of all muskies caught by a team.

A prize will also be given for the largest fish.

The exact prize money depends on entrants and sponsorship but it’s shaping up to be a great event, said Craig.

This year’s muskie fishing has been good, said Craig.

A sizeable leopard frog hatch has meant a better season, he explained, as the fish are driven into more shallow water.

Cost to enter is $50 per person and a digital camera with time and date stamp is required.

Registration will take place on Friday, Aug. 24 at Towey’s Bayt and Tackle at 54 Madawaska St. in Arnprior from 4-7 p.m. or in Ottawa at LeBaron Outdoor Products at 1512 Merivale Rd. from 5-9 p.m.

Fire ban regulations eased in McNab-Braeside

The Township of McNab-Braeside lifted its complete burn ban Tuesday after a series of days of rain.

However, people burning in the municipality during the summer still need a permit. And fire officials are urging

the public to continue to be very careful, as the forest and fields can become dry again very quickly.

At Tuesday’s Planning Advisory Committee meeting, Mayor Mary Campbell noted that it didn’t take long

for some property-owners to begin burning again.

A Russett Drive resident was burning debris right after a heavy rain late last week, she said. Perhaps it was a celebration bonfire, she added.

Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie noted that in some areas campers in private campgrounds were upset that they weren’t allowed camp fires, but those in Provincial park campgrounds were during the drought.

EDITORIAL

Drought comes with a price for everyone

Y

ear after year we are seeing less predictable weather.

It’s costing the farmers dearly this year and the dry times will cost us all over the coming months and years.

Adapting our actions to deal with climate change is a simpler task than adapting our lives to deal with weather that can damage our economy.

The price we pay for fruits and vegetables will be the

first effect felt by consumers.

If dry weather becomes the new normal, some produce may not be available at all or the season will be shorter.

Because local corn and hay feeds cows but is in short supply, farmers across much of Canada and the central United States will likely be forced to sell off beef cattle.

There could be a glut and prices might drop in the short term which could be followed by a spike.

Unpredictable weather may mean unpredictable beef prices.

Beyond the food on our tables, there will be other, less obvious effects if dry, hot weather becomes the norm.

At Pinto Valley Ranch in Fitzroy Harbour, the owners might have to sell nearly half their horses because feeding them hay at current prices isn’t possible. That will mean reduced opportunities for area kids to try riding,

which in turn will almost certainly mean fewer riders for the equestrian industry in the future.

If watering bans become the new normal, backyard gardens and community allotment gardens won’t be able to provide as much food for folk. That in turn increases demand for imported foods.

If we’re forced to stop watering lawns, they will die and homeowners will have to invest in drought resistant

plants or pave the front yard.

Golf courses are suffering and the cost of installing irrigation systems could be the difference between staying in business or shutting down for some course owners.

The sports fields used by children and adults are in rough shape because of the dry weather. When the quality of play drops far enough, we’ll need to add the cost of resodding fields to the property tax bill.

All those costs for con-

sumers pale in comparison with the trouble ahead for farmers.

Some plants do well in wet weather while others can survive dry times, but what can farmers plant when the weather is completely unpredictable?

If our summers are going to be extreme – dry, wet, hot or cold – we will all pay dearly.

It makes investment in climate science seem like a good deal.

James: from quiet area to one of the busiest streets To the Editor: I have lived on James Street for 62 years - from 1952 until the present time.

At the time that we built our house there were only two other houses located on our street. One house had been built a few doors down from ours, while the other was situated directly across the street on the corner of James and Russell Street.

There was also a farm further down the street, but the property entrance was actually from a little lane off James Street which is now referred to as ‘Thomas Street’.

The number of residences on James Street has certainly increased over the years from the original group of only three houses.

A.D.F. Campbell owned a large parcel of land facing Daniel Street as well as some building lots around the corner on James Street. It was from Mr. Campbell that I purchased our lot.

Some of you may recall that A.D.F. Campbell owned a large building supply company, so needless to say from our backyard we could see stacks and stacks of lumber.

Out of necessity, Mr. Campbell had many 45-gallon drums of water distributed around his property. Considering how flammable his building supply inventory was, the drums were part of his fire protection system. There were no outdoor sprinkler systems in the 1950s.

At the far end of James Street in the 1950s, there was a portable saw mill and a water tower located near the water’s edge. Both have long since been removed.

Most people now expect to have a certain level of services available to them when they travel within town limits. But back in the early 1950s, James Street was basically a very long gravel driveway. There was no pavement.

There were no sidewalks or curbs. There were no street lights.

In the 1960s the Public Works Garage was relocated from across the street from the Town

Hall to its new and present day location at the far end of James Street. Later in 1968, the Water Treatment Plant was built next to the Public Works Garage.

When our growing town needed to decommission its old arena on Elgin Street, I spent many hours lobbying for a new facility and promoting that the new complex be built on the end of James Street. It seemed to be an appropriate building site since it was within town limits and there was adequate acreage for both the facility and for off-street parking.

The ‘Nick Smith Centre’ was built in 1976 with Nick as the chairman. The complex is comprised of two ice surfaces, a swimming pool, and a large multi-use auditorium.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to meet many celebrities, professionals and interesting people at the Nick Smith Centre. These include Bobby Orr, Frank Mahovlich (now a Senator), Father Les Costello and his ‘Flying Fathers’, and one of the women’s Olympic hockey teams.

Similarly, I have been fortunate to have made use of the auditorium when attending: wedding receptions, public meetings and dinner functions.

Nick Smith would be pleased that the complex has also been used for more than just sports (swimming and hockey) as it is also been home for exercise classes, daycare and more. It is definitely a multi-use facility catering to the needs and interests of a multitude of people.

So as you can tell, a lot has changed since the early days on James Street when there were few buildings and few municipal services.

Now we are one of the busiest streets in town, thanks to the other homes which were eventually built and to the Nick Smith Centre.

A wonderful experience for appraisers

Group effort made McNab Days a success

To the Editor: Re: Waba Cottage Museum Victorian Tea and What’s it Worth Appraisal Day. Military antiques specialist and Canadian Antiques Roadshow expert Ross Wilson, Mike Cleary (Cleary Construction) and I were invited to join the many wonderful volunteers at the Waba Cottage Museum this past Saturday for a fundraiser to help raise money for accessibility upgrades.

I was so impressed with everyone’s hard work and continuous hospitality.

The Victorian Tea was incredibly busy.

The weather co-operated fully and all of the diners enjoyed delicious homemade goodies complemented by a lovely cup of tea.

It was wonderful to have Aldene Styles and Brad McIlquham there (in full Victorian dress) volunteering their time as well.

We appraisers had a great afternoon; we were excited to see the lineup of people with interesting items, meet new acquaintances and, catch up with collectors and old friends.

The Church was a brilliant choice for Appraisal Central; people sat in the rows of pews and waited patiently … allowing everyone time to listen and join in the experience and discovery with every evaluation.

We, as appraisers, get tremendous satisfaction from volunteering our time and expertise to help out with great causes. Our reward is sharing in people - their many stories and treasured heirlooms and, hopefully, encouraging them to pass this appreciation of personal history onto the next generation.

Thank you very much for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Kim Murray HelpDownsizing.com Braeside

To the Editor: McNab Days is an important celebration for Township residents to recognize their heritage and culture, and for visitors to the area to take part in an annual festival that highlights the township’s natural and historical beauty.

Once again, this year’s nine-day festival of events brought together young and old, residents and visitors, to celebrate, have fun and enjoy all that we have to offer.

In addition to thanking all those who attended our festivities, I would like to thank all the many, many volunteers who helped to put together another successful series of activities and events.

From the popular Calling of the Clans, to the Braeside Riverdrive Festival, to the Family Day/Sunday Stretch, which

featured a new offering, the Tartan Run, to euchre nights, a horseshoe tournament, garden tour, and a walk, run, drive along our heritage trail.

Many residents came together to plan, organize, clean up, direct traffic, put on period costumes, light torches, play music - all in the spirit of “community.”

As well, on behalf of the staff and Council members, I wish to thank all of our sponsors, whose support contributed to the success of McNab Days.

Thank you to M. Sullivan and Sons and The Miller Group for donating improvements to the Braeside Beach in preparation for its reopening to the public, as well as to Red Pine Bay. Thanks to Ontario Power Generation for your tremendous support in sponsoring the Braeside Beach opening events.

It may be wildlife, not dogs To the Editor: Re. submission to editor by Ted Graham ‘Leaving waste around could lead to another plague’, Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC Aug. 9.

You have made a valid point. I am wondering where you walk, because maybe it is not leavings of dogs that are on the ground but geese.

If you travel around the Gillies trails from Madawaska Boulevard to the Ottawa River, there is a large family of Canada Geese and ducks that make their home along the Madawaska River.

Geese are even invading lawns that have been maintained during the drought to feed on seeds and fresh grasses.

Geese black droppings are everywhere and many have mistaken them for irresponsible dog owners.

Other sponsors, whose contributions helped to make this year’s festivities a success, include Marshall’s Equipment/ Renfrew Rent-All, Lions Club, McNab-Braeside Firefighter Association, Knights of Columbus and Renfrew Industrial Commission.

Last but not least, thanks to all the media who helped to promote McNab Days.

The coverage we received this year from across the Ottawa Valley into Ottawa was tremendous.

On behalf of the residents, Council and staff of the Township of McNabBraeside, thanks again and congratulations on a job well done.

Mary Campbell, Mayor Township of McNab-Braeside

Come, taste the Valley

As for plastic poop bags on the ground, I have noticed that if the garbage cans along those same trails are full and leftovers from lunches and snacks are thrown in these garbage cans, the gulls will throw out the poop bags in order to get to the food that has been thrown out. Squirrels have been known to do the same.

Apparently there is other wildlife along the Gillies Trails that are out at night such as Fishers, Skunks, Raccoons, Beavers, etc. that use the open garbage cans as a buffet.

Irresponsibility of dog owners leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths, but wildlife can be the culprit too.

To the Editor: I want to take this opportunity to invite everyone to attend Taste of the Valley this Saturday at the Renfrew Fairgrounds.

This year, more than ever, it is very important that we come out and support our local producers who have endured one of the worst years in terms of weather conditions in our history. The drought of 2012 will long be remembered as devastating for many of our local farms, but despite these obstacles, the farming community of Renfrew County will survive. So why not take a few minutes and visit the Renfrew Armouries this Saturday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. and support our producers.

MP to seek farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; input on assistance at Aug. 27 meeting John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news - RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is hosting a consultation meeting for drought-stricken farmers in Renfrew Monday, Aug. 27.

All farmers in the riding are invited to the meeting at the Renfrew Legion at 7 p.m. Gallant is asking farmers to provide suggestions and ideas for the new agricultural assistance framework â&#x20AC;&#x153;to ensure future programs meet the needs of local farmers.â&#x20AC;?

She said that with the worst drought conditions experienced in decades, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is the time to assess what is working, and what is not. I need to hear how the recent severe weather conditions have impacted the farm operations I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a chance to visit yet, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping for a good turn-out.â&#x20AC;?

Gallant noted the input is important since the current program is due to expire March 31, 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five years ago our Federal Conservative Government implemented the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Growing Forwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; framework agreement, which laid the groundwork for coordinated federal-provincial action to help the agricultural sector become more prosperous, competitive and innovative,â&#x20AC;? she explained, noting local agricultural producers provided valuable input at that time.

She pointed out that the Business Risk Management program suite launched on April 1, 2008 includes: AgriInvest, a savings account for producers, support-

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant meets with a Renfrew County farming couple recently. ed by governments, which provides coverage for small income declines and allows for investments that help mitigate risks or improve market income; â&#x20AC;˘ AgriStability, which provides support when a producer experiences larger farm income losses and declines of more than 15 per cent in a producer's average income from previous years; â&#x20AC;˘ AgriInsurance, a pre-existing program which includes

insurance against production losses for specified perils (weather, pests, disease) and is being expanded to include more commodities; â&#x20AC;˘ Advance Payment Programs (APP), to help crop and livestock producers with cash flow and provides flexibility for marketing of commodities; â&#x20AC;˘ AgriRecovery, a disaster relief framework, which provides a co-ordinated process for federal, provincial and

territorial governments to respond rapidly when disasters strike, filling gaps not covered by existing programs.

Gallant said from meetings already held with farmers from Arnprior to Whitney, she realizes crops are failing and the livestock producers are particularly desperate as they cannot find hay to feed their animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While visiting John Mastineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar J-M Ranch in Whitney, I was told how extraordinary the drought effects are since decades of genetics would be lost if breeding cattle are forced to go to slaughter,â&#x20AC;? she said. Mastine called the crisis â&#x20AC;&#x153;worse than BSE,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Gallant said she raised the drought problems with Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, who told her he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;working closely with provincial officials â&#x20AC;Ś assessing the scope of the situation and the need for AgriRecovery (assistance).â&#x20AC;?

Ritz suggested last week that it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;too early to assess actual crop damage and production levels as the growing season is ongoing. While arbitrary time frames have been referenced in the media, farmers can be assured that all parties are working as cooperatively and quickly as possible within the confines of the situation,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The province has asked the federal government to consider providing AgriRecovery funds for farmers hit by the drought, but the assessment will take at least 45 days and some farmers, especially cattle producers, argue the assistance is needed right now.

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to cut back farm relief could devastate future farmers if another drought hits in the future, warn the Liberals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;MP Cheryl Gallant and the Conservative Party of Canada are planning to cut farm support programs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including the AgriRecovery Program, which is the cornerstone of disaster relief for farmers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by $2 billion over the next year, leaving support for Canadian farms and farmers a shadow of its former self,â&#x20AC;? writes Liberal Party of Canada Critic for Agriculture and Agri Food Frank Valeriote in an open letter to newspapers in this riding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the face of drought and extreme heat, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers should be able to count on timely, predictable support from their federal government,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Valeriote maintains it was calls by the Liberal Party of Canada to immediately activate disaster assistance programs that prompted the government to begin assessments needed to begin to provide relief.

However, that option might not be available to tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers if the Tories follow through on relief cuts, he says, adding it could leave them in dire straits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This drought should serve as reminder that strong federal leadership is needed to support a competitive, market-driven agriculture that grows wealth for all of Canada - not as an excuse to chip away its foundation,â&#x20AC;? wrote Valeriote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadians depend on our farmers, and our farmers should be able to count on timely government support when emergencies strike, yet Mrs. Gallant and the Conservative Party are going in the opposite direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They should reverse their short-sighted cuts to farm programming and not leave our farmers on their own in their most difficult hours.â&#x20AC;?

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take our water quality for granted, said Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant recently, in welcoming new federal wastewater system effluent regulations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want water that is clean, safe and plentiful for future generations of Canadians to enjoy,â&#x20AC;? said Gallant, maintaining the new rules will be an important safeguard for the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water quality even though for the most part they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force upgradings for several years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through these regulations, our federal government is addressing one of the largest sources of pollution in our waters,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have set the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first national standards for sewage treatment. These standards will reduce the levels of harmful substances deposited to surface water from wastewater systems in Canada.â&#x20AC;?

In the Ottawa valley, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have such an abundance of fresh water, too often we take this blessing for granted,â&#x20AC;? said Gallant.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Safe and reliable wastewater infrastructure is essential to ensuring the health and well-being of families, residents and local business.

These regulations will contribute to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic future and help to protect the environment.â&#x20AC;?

The federal government worked with provinces and territories, and also engaged municipalities, to finalize the regulations. It is expected that about 75 per cent of existing wastewater systems already meet the minimum secondary wastewater treatment standards in the regulations.

Communities and municipalities that meet the standards will not need to make upgrades to their systems.

The other 25 per cent will have to upgrade to at least secondary wastewater treatment, Gallant noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These standards will ensure untreated and under-treated sewage are not dumped in our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterways.â&#x20AC;?

Public sector workers unfairly protected: MPP EMC news – Ontario’s unionized private sector workers have taken it on the chin while their public sector counterparts have “dined out” for nine years under the McGuinty Liberals, RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski said last week.

The disparity makes a strong case for the labour law reforms proposed in the Ontario Progressive Conservative’s ‘Paths to Prosperity: Flexible Labour Markets’ statement, he said.

“Private sector union members have made tough concessions to keep their employers in business and their own jobs intact – if they’ve been lucky,” Yakabuski said. “At the same time, public sector unions under Dalton McGuinty have enjoyed a nine-year hiring binge and ‘wage freeze’ deals that don’t actually freeze wages – like the recent agreement with English Catholic teachers.”

Calling it a “tale of two realities,” Yakabuski noted that the private sector has lost 300,000 manufacturing

jobs and wage growth has become virtually stagnant, while 300,000 bureaucratic government jobs have been added to the “bloated” public sector payroll.

“Not only that – the total paid to public sector workers has increased 46 per cent, from $40 billion to over $58 billion, since this government was first elected in 2003,” Yakabuski said. “No wonder the Canadian Federation of Independent Business found that public sector workers make up to 27 per cent more

than their private sector counterparts when benefits are factored in.”

Yakabuski repeated the long-standing Ontario PC call for public sector salaries to reflect economic reality. He said these past nine years of “overspending” all point to the need to haul the public sector workforce out from the sheltered environment it has enjoyed since the 1940s.

“We’ve put a number of ideas on the table to accomplish this goal, from requiring public sector unions to com-

From page 10

Gallant said that for the wastewater systems that do not meet the new standards there will be time for municipalities to plan and budget funds to complete the upgrades.

Wastewater systems posing a high risk must meet the new standards by the end of 2020; those posing medium risk by the end of 2030; and those with low risk by the end of 2040.

Owners and operators of the systems will also need to consistently monitor and submit reports on their effluent

job creation.

“It also boosts our call for an across-the-board, legislated public sector pay freeze, to help bring public sector salaries into line with their private sector equivalents in a way that taxpayers can afford,” Yakabuski said, adding the measure would save Ontarians $2 billion annually.

“The current government’s refusal to adopt any of them clearly illustrates it does not comprehend the gravity of Ontario’s debt crisis,” Yakabuski concluded.

EMC news – The results of two by-elections called for Sept.

6 in Kitchener-Waterloo and Vaughan could radically alter the provincial political landscape by tipping the balance of power.

If the Liberals win both, they would move from a minority to majority government in Ontario. If the Progressive Conservatives or the NDP take both ridings, it will make Dalton McGuinty’s job of governing the province more difficult.

Kitchener-Waterloo opened up after high profile Progressive Conservative MPP Elizabeth Witmer stepped down in April to become chairwoman of the provincial Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.

The vote in Vaughan was caused by the resignation of another long-time MPP and former Liberal cabinet minister Greg Sorbara.

The document also calls for action in three other key areas: giving the individual worker a choice on becoming or remaining a union member; making union leaders more accountable to unionized employees; and reforming Ontario’s workplace agencies for a more flexible workforce and

releases.

Wastewater facilities in Renfrew County that may be affected by the new regulations, such as Barry’s Bay, Eganville, Killaloe, Chalk River, Petawawa and Cobden, are rated low risk.

“Unlike the old government which downloaded new rules into the pockets of municipal ratepayers, our Conservative Government provides significant federal funding through gas tax transfers,” claimed Gallant, adding that water and sewer upgrades qualify for gas tax funding..

In nature timing really is everything EMC lifestyle – On a cairn at Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park resides this inscription: “He lived humbly but passionately with the wild. It made him brother to all untamed things of Nature. It drew him apart and revealed itself wonderfully to him.”

J. E. H. MacDonald wrote those eloquent words in reference to his friend and fellow artist Tom Thomson. The last line perfectly summarizes what Nature does for those who spend time immersed in Her; she reveals herself to you.

Recently I experienced a classic example of this at Lake Travers in Algonquin Park.

This year the water levels are record low and exposed mud is prevalent.

It was a heavily overcast day and rained intermittently, ideal conditions for sandpipers to drop down on their way from the Arctic to the Atlantic coast. I launched my canoe, hoping to find sandpipers on the vast mudflats in the southeast corner of the shallow lake.

MANY VISITORS A young Bald Eagle circled overhead as I paddled down the lake. In the bay there were shorebirds; Lesser Yellow-

legs, Greater Yellowlegs, and Least Sandpipers probed the mud for food.

Canada Geese lined the nearby shore. As my canoe silently floated closer, I decided to count them.

I raised my binoculars and slowly swept across the line of birds. One, two, three – as my binoculars passed from goose 10 to goose 11 I did a double take. Was I seeing things or had a wolf stuck its head out of the shoreline shrubs?

I scanned back and there indeed was an Eastern Wolf looking at the geese!

The wolf stepped out and the geese went crazy. I swapped binoculars for camera and with great excitement began to shoot.

The geese whipped the water into a frenzy as they noisily flapped off the shore.

The wolf appeared to not notice me, likely because of the

had once again revealed herself to me.

With singing soul I paddled away, wondering if the wolf had actually been stalking the geese.

Or had it been merely taking a closer gander?

Rabies vaccination clinics to be held in Pakenham EMC lifestyle - Mississippi Veterinary Services of Pakenham is one of several sites of rabies vaccination clinics to be held next month.

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit, together with partner veterinarians and municipalities, is offering the community clinics on

Wednesdays, Sept. 12 and 19 from 2 to 6 p.m.

The full list of locations for the clinics is on the Health Unit website at www.healthunit.org.

The goal of hosting the clinics is to help provide rabies vaccinations to as many cats and dogs as possible.

A dog or cat must be vaccinated against rabies. It’s the law.

In addition, hunters preparing for the hunting season are reminded to get their dogs vaccinated against rabies.

While running in the bush, hunting dogs have the potential of inter-

acting with wildlife that may have rabies.

To help protect some wild animals against rabies, the Ministry of Natural Resources has released bait in certain areas in August.

It is important that pet cats or dogs remain up-to-date with their rabies

vaccination as they too could be at risk of getting rabies. Increasing vaccination coverage in pets will help to minimize the potential transmission of rabies to humans.

The cost for a vaccination is $20.

Dogs and cats must be on a leash or in a carrier.

The young students from the Rwentutu school in Uganda sent back a message of thanks with Meagan Fraser, who spent three weeks teaching mathematics at the school

this summer. Fraser is also appreciative of the support shown to the school by her home town.

When the Umoja program sent Fraser to Uganda this summer, the Arnprior District High School graduate, who now teaches Kindergarten in Calgary, brought with her a sizable donation collected in Arnprior to buy

needed items for the school.

Fraser’s parents, Garry and Carolyn Fraser, and aunt Cheryl Mielke sold blue ‘hope, dream, believe’ bracelets in Arnprior and area in support of school.

Fraser explained that the she took the proceeds to Uganda, so she could buy the school supplies there and in

The Arnprior donations helped buy tables, benches, text books, paper and pencils for the school for students from Kindergarten to Grade 7.

Fraser said teaching in the school was a great experience. “The students were phenomenal … they were so eager to be in class,” she said.

She said the students were appreciative of the support and encouragement received from Arnprior. She thanked the community for the support, noting it helped make a difference for the students at the school.

Rwentutu is in a rural area of western Uganda, outside of a town called Kasese, close to the Congo border.

John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – David Lawrence and Mairi Redner will joined together next week to present their original works of art at an exhibit at the Arnprior Mall.

A preview of their work can be seen at the Pakenham Fair this Saturday, Aug. 18 at the Stewart Community Centre.

The Lawrence-Redner exhibit will run from Monday to Saturday (Aug. 20-25) during regular mall hours.

Lawrence, of Rhoddy’s Bay, presents his work in ‘black and white’ using the negative space reversing the roles played in the picture by light and shade. His bold pen strokes will draw the viewer

EXPERIENCED He has been juried, shown and sold his work in Canada and the United States. He is well-known locally for his efforts on behalf of Haitian earthquake victims.

Redner, of Arnprior, presents her works in “beautiful color,” using both oils and acrylics.

She captures the essence

of her subjects, bringing life to the picture and making the viewers feel as though they were right there. It is like taking a holiday, enjoying the sights and not having to leave home.

Redner has also shown and sold her work internationally.

“So come, take a walk about town in black and white or travel further abroad in beautiful color,” invite the artists.

They welcome questions from the public as they love to share their passion for art.

ADHS grad Avaleigh Eastman in Ireland for Rose of Tralee International Festival Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news – Irish eyes will be smiling on Avaleigh Eastman this weekend.

The Arnprior District High School graduate, who was selected as this year’s Ottawa area Rose of Tralee in March at the Irish Ambassador’s residence, is currently on the ‘Emerald Isle’ to compete in the International Rose of Tralee Festival.

As the Ottawa area’s ‘Rose’, Eastman was in Portlaoise, Ireland in June for the regional Rose of Tralee finals, and having been selected as finalist there, she is now in Tralee in County Kerry, Ireland the international festival Aug 17-21.

This fact was confirmed by her father, John Eastman of

Avaleigh Eastman

Kinburn, on Monday.

As one of Ireland’s largest and longest running festivals, The Rose of Tralee International Festival was initially conceived as a way to bring Irish descendants back to Ireland, as well as a means of boosting the local economy

and regenerating the Town of Tralee. It has since expanded to include centres from across the globe including Ottawa, which selected its first ‘Rose’ in 2009.

The festival derived its name from a 19th century love story written by William Mulchinock, a 19th century merchant, for Mary O’Connor. The song includes the lyrics, “lovely and fair as the rose of summer, it was not her beauty alone that won me, oh no, ‘twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning.”

Eastman is no stranger to community involvement.

She was raised on the Centuryholm dairy farm in Kinburn and has a passion for agriculture. She was an avid member of the 4-H Community Club, completing proj-

ects in field crops, showing dairy calves and scrapbooking, and attending numerous leadership conferences.

She represented the OttawaCarleton Plowmen’s Association in 2010 as Queen of the Furrow and continues to volunteer with the organization as a director and webmaster.

As a summer student with the City of Ottawa Rural Affairs Department, Eastman enjoyed participating in Food Aid Celebrity Milking Contest.

A graduate of Arnprior District High School, Eastman holds a degree in Social Science, Public Administration and Business and works as a research assistant with the City of Ottawa’s Rural Affairs office, and is a part-time assistant to an MP. She also works part-time on the family farm.

8 Le`hl\# 8]]fi[XYc\ J_fgg`e^ <og\i`\eZ\% Total Home Consignment offers a unique shopping experience unlike that of your run-of-the-mill furniture store.

The furniture consignment store has the layout of a furniture store with 8,000 sq. ft. of spacious floor space, combined with the low prices and unique finds of a consignment store.

“They love the concept and they didn’t realize there was anything like us out there,” says Richard Abrams, who owns the store with his wife Barb, of the reactions of his customers.

“When they’re coming in here they’re not going to find the same old same old from furniture store to furniture store. It’s a totally different look and everything’s unique. It’s ‘one onlys’ and things that you can’t find other places.”

Total Home Consignment is a great place to find unique gifts for friends and family.

The furniture and home accessories are sourced from people looking to down size, estate sales, business closings, bankruptcies, and inventory liquidations. The store also gets model home furnishings from seven of Ottawa’s finest home builders.

There’s no better time than now to come into the store as they’ve received truck loads of model furniture from Minto.

Abrams says the store has a high standard of what furniture they will accept, which means it can be sold as is. For those on a budget,

Total Home Consignment offers sofas, bedroom sets, kitchen sets, dining room sets, patio sets, coffee and end tables, wall units, rugs, and even exercise equipment for great prices.

Abrams explains that when a used product comes into the store it starts at 50 to 60 per cent of the price of what the equivalent product would sell for new. Every 15 days the price is dropped 10 per cent until the item is sold. “When the item first comes in, it’s a great deal but if you’re patient and you’re lucky more than anything else you can get an even better deal,” says Abrams. However, he cautions that this approach can result in disappointment when a piece of furniture is snapped up by another savvy customer.

At Total Home Consignment you can find antiques and collectables but also brand new furniture.

As Abrams put it, “there are treasures here to be found.”

Total Home Consignment is located at 1860 Bank St, Uniit 4 near the corner of Bank St. and Walkley Rd. behind the Beer Store. Hours 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and now open Sundays 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Mondays).

Concert for Carp to benefit farmers Greater Madawaska township applies for disaster relief assistance

Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC news – West Carleton’s farming community is about to get a boost in light of challenges brought on by this summer’s drought.

“As we all know, and has been widely reported, with this year’s drought the farming community around Carp are in desperate need of help making ends meet,” said Richard Searle, account manager for Independent Learning Systems, the company organizing a fundraising event planned for Thursday, Aug. 23.

The Kanata-based company was looking for a team-building activity and with several of the about 20 local employees living in West Carleton, a community event in support of farmers seemed a natural fit.

SpandX, the ultimate ‘80s band, will headline a free concert but the fun begins much earlier in the day with an-all ages talent contest, children’s events, a beer tent, barbecue, giveaways. Concert for Carp is scheduled to run 3-11 p.m.

The event will take place at the Carp Fairgrounds and the Carp Agricultural Society has been a great help, said Searle, providing the venue and lots of support.

“All money raised is going to purchase feed for their animals now and over the

SpandX, a 1980s tribute band, will headline the Aug. 23 Concert for Carp in support of drought-stricken area farmers. winter and other general support of the Carp community,” said Searle.

Sponsors and volunteers have been quick to come out in support of the event and the area’s farmers.

“We have a number of generous sponsors already lined up helping us with location, food, beer tent, events, games and donations and it’s looking like we are going to get a lot of people out,” said Searle. “It’s really about getting the numbers now.”

Organizers encourage performers to sign up for the all ages talent contest, which can be done online at www.ils-

canada.com/concertforcarp.

SpandX is known for a great show, say organizers. Female lead singer of the band Donna Pearson (D-riffic) works at Independent Learning Systems. Also in the band are Jean Pageau (PAJO) – keyboardist and lead vocals, Don Mineault (Don-Mino) – bass player, Mike Tessier (Mike T) – Guitar and William Brown (The King) on drums.

ILS is organizing the event in conjunction with the Kia Drive Change program.

The amount of trees and bush collected after falling on roads and local properties is 8,000 or 9,000 cubic metres alone from the Norway Lake area, said Lynch.

That’s the equivalent of a 10-foot-deep football field collection of debris, which now sits at the Norway Lake transfer station.

Negotiations were underway earlier this week to hire a contractor to chip the debris and truck it elsewhere.

ODRAP support would mean $2 assistance for every $1 raised by private citizens for repairs.

For the township, ODRAP would pay the repair bills for such items as road clearance, emergency personnel support and extraordinary costs incurred.

“We need some relief,” said Lynch.

“Hopefully, this will relieve the burden on the township as well as on the residents because we’re still in a drought. This is creating a fire hazard because of the amount of wood on the ground.”

Lynch says the Province is expected to take about a month to determine if ODRAP assistance for homeowners affected by the storm will be approved.

Admaston-Bromley also applied for ODRAP assistance Monday.

EMC news - The July 23 super storm has pushed the Township of Greater Madawaska to apply for financial help under the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program.

The biggest hint that the money is badly needed for residents in and around Norway Lake, Calabogie and White Lake is the huge collection of storm-related debris at the Norway Lake transfer station.

Greater Madawaska council held a special meeting last Friday to pass a resolution asking for Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Kathleen Wynne to declare the eastern third of the township a disaster area and thus qualify the township for ODRAP dollars.

The request was for public and private assistance was requested by email Friday.

The formal request, including documentation of the damage, was mailed on Monday, Aug. 13.

That made the deadline, which is stipulated as the 14-day window after storm- or other disaster-related damage.

Township disaster relief co-ordinator Jim Lynch says the damage within the ‘area of influence’ in Greater Madawaska is significant.

MPAC analyzes actual sale prices of similar properties to help establish the assessed value of more than four million residential properties across the province.

EMC news - The average sale price for residential properties in Ontario has risen by 17 per cent between January 2008 and January 2012, according to the first report on residential sale price trends published by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).

“This report is good news for most Ontario homeowners,” said Larry Hummel, MPAC’s chief assessor. “It shows the average sale price of residential properties in most communities has increased since 2008 and that the real estate market continues to be strong.”

MPAC will mail property assessment notices to all property owners in Ontario this fall, with the Arnprior area expected to be one of the last in lind.

This year’s assessment update will be the second in Ontario’s new four-year assessment and phase-in cycle.

“Property owners should remember that an increase in assessment does not necessarily mean an increase in property taxes,” said Hummel. “It all depends on a number of factors

Swollen Members and Die Mannequin headline festival at Wilderness Tours festival EMC events - After five years of hosting Budweiser’s invite-only ‘Bud Camp’ event, Wilderness Tours Adventure Resort has announced a new music festival.

The bash, called the Kitchissippi Music Festival, is a one-day event featuring Vancouver-based hip-hop icons, Swollen Members, and alt-punk rockers, Die Mannequin, from Toronto.

It runs this Saturday, Aug. 18.

“This is an incredible moment in the 37year history of Wilderness Tours,” says resort founder, Joe Kowalski.

“There’s really never been anything like this available to the residents of the Ottawa Valley in terms of mixing nationally-renowned musical talent with our level of resort amenities, activities and capacity.

“We invite everyone to attend.”

Kowalski expects between 800 and 1,500 attendees at the 600-acre adventure resort, located on the Ottawa River just outside of Beachburg.

In addition to the six acts scheduled, event

partners have come on board to add more flavour to the occasion.

“We are grateful to Molson Canadian, specifically, for their support and are excited for other brands such as Monster Energy, Vitamin Water and Level Six clothing to take part in the festivities through on-site activation and product sampling,” said Kowalski.

Swollen Members is touring to promote their recent, Juno-nominated album, Daggermouth, while Die Mannequin has just released a new CD, Danceland.

Die Mannequin’s lead singer, Care Failure, also stars in the much-anticipated Bruce McDonald rock-umentary sequel, Hard Core Logo II, which debuted in April.

Rounding out the line-up are a few bands with local roots - Ilvekyo, fronted by Westmeath’s Mason Quesnel; Trees of Ontario, which is led by Valley river guide and musician, Marc Leblanc; and Ottawa’s own bluesinspired rockers, The Wicked Mercy.

Doors open at 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 18.

Parking is free.

Former Miss Teen Ontario East Hillary MacMillan talked to So Glad to Be Me program day campers recently to talk about her experience with pageants, focusing on the fact that there’s more to them than sparkly hair and shiny dresses. MacMillan recently spent a week in Toronto at the Miss Teen Canada Pageant, placing in the top 20 and winning the Free the Children fundraising award. A So Glad to Be Me camp is being offered at the Renfrew Recreation Centre Aug. 20 to 22. Joining MacMillan, centre and Charbonneau, back, are, clockwise from left, Abigail Windle, Carolyn Wytenburg, Hannah Raudssus, Layne Wilson, Becca Robertson, Eva Kelly, Keely Haley, and August Love-McCourt.

EMC lifestyle - Creator-facilitator Jen Charbonneau of Arnprior is hosting So Glad 2 Be Me self-esteem-healthy body image camps this summer.

Charbonneau held a camp in Arnprior in late July and is holding another one this week, both for girls ages 8 to 12.

A third camp will take place at the Renfrew Recreation Centre Aug. 20 to 22.

The mission of this program is to increase positive self-esteem, awareness and understanding of healthy body image within young girls and provide practical tools for managing challenges. “In a world where women of all ages measure their value based on a commercially-generated standard of beauty, now more than ever, young girls need to recognize and embrace that beauty, love and self acceptance comes from within,” said Charbonneau.

“When you have the courage to be yourself, know and value yourself, you’ll have a sense of purpose and belonging.”

Overall, the camp is about empowering girls to discover who they are as developing individuals.

Former Miss Teen Ontario East Hillary MacMillan paid a guest visit to talk to the day campers about her pageant experiences and their changing

focus on inner beauty.

Her talk was among a variety of age-appropriate information and experiential learning provided to the girls, including crafts, games and activities that provide a positive foundation on which to build a happy, healthy self, explained Charbonneau.

Girls discover their own uniqueness based on who they are, not what they look like, she noted. The summer camp promises to: • Increase self-esteem; • Instill healthy body image;

• Reinforce a girl’s sense of her purpose and belonging; • Teach girls how not to be influenced by negative peers and the media; • Reduce stress and provide tools for managing challenges; • Clarify “true” friendships; • Enhance co-operation and teambuilding skills.

For more information and to register for the final camp, contact Charbonneau at 613623-9553, email jen@soglad2beme.com or visit www. soglad2beme.com.

Weather, spirits sunny as SkiAbility takes to the Madawaska Program aims to provide fun, safe ski experience for all individuals Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC lifestyle - The only thing brighter than the sun that shone Sunday at Burnstown Beach were the smiles on the faces of Community Living participants and other waterskiers taking advantage of the annual SkiAbility Ottawa clinic.

Russ and Chris Holden of the Manotick-based program have been hauling equipment and boats to the Madawaska River each year since 2005.

“Really, anyone can ski,” said Chris Holden, son of the father/son team that works each year to get people out on the water having fun and challenging themselves. “It’s about getting out there and doing it.”

Equipment and instruction are as varied as the mental and physical challenges faced by the skiers and considerable time is spent on practicing and ensuring participants are safe and comfortable.

The objective, says Chris Holden, is to provide a safe, fun, successful learning experience for all persons with a disability regardless of their previous watersport experiences.

Age and disability are not limita-

tions, said Chris, they merely change the approach to the sport.

“We pride ourselves and really work hard on making it an independent experience as much as possible,” said Chris.

Boats are equipped with a ski boom to optimize learning and training and based on ability, participants choose sit-skiing, stand-up skiing, wakeboard, or barefoot Each skier’s experience is examined and notes taken. “We look at ‘What did we do? What did we do well?’ and ‘What do we want to improve on?’”

Rebekka Zimmerling of Renfrew had skied before and was raring to go Sunday at noon when she arrived at the dock. She had a run of assisted skiing alongside Chris before he hopped into the boat and she went it alone. An exuberant Rebekka climbed aboard the boat, tired and thrilled from the experience.

“It was just great,” she said, with a firm two thumbs up.

Camilo Acero of Toronto had learned of the program online several years ago and this year crossed the long-time goal off his bucket list, travelling all the way to Burnstown

SkiAbility volunteers Marc Dorion, left, and Tyrone Henry, sideski with Renfrew’s Pauline Deslaurier downstream past the Burnstown Bridge.

Photos by Sherry Haaima for the experience.

“It was amazing,” said Acero, sitting in his wheelchair on the dock after his river run. “I was in an accident 20 years ago and before that I used to waterski as a hobby. The first time out today was exactly the same – the water, the speed, the wind in my face.”

He credited the Holdens and SkiAbility for the amazing opportunity and said he was definitely interested in keeping up with waterskiing.

SkiAbility Ottawa is a not-forprofit, volunteer-driven organization that serves the Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec regions and accepts

persons with any type or level of disability, any age, and at any experience level. The program accepts participants at the novice level and up and has a competitive stream including world class athletes.

Funding is achieved through user fees, donations and sponsorship.

At right, Camilo Acero travelled all the way from Toronto to get back on the water for some waterskiing, a sport he enjoyed before an accident confined him to a wheelchair 20 years ago. Below, Laura Domenicucci shows off some of the SkiAbility equipment and the trailer that houses it.

This bread is also great for sandwiches.

I used it one day for tuna sandwiches, and, like the turkey sandwich, they had an entirely different flavour.

The amount given here makes a small loaf, about one pound. The amounts shown in brackets make a larger loaf.

Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aunt recommended using a sweet bread setting on the breadmaker.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also baked this using the dry milk setting when I substituted skim milk powder and water for the milk. The bread turned out fine both ways.

You can leave out the black olives, but the bread will be just a bit drier.

GREEK BREAD

2/3 cup milk (1 cup) 1 Tbsp. olive oil or vegetable oil (2 Tbsp.)

1/2 tsp. salt (1 tsp. salt) 2 cups flour (3 cups) 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (2/3 cup) 3 Tbsp. black olives, pitted and sliced (1/4 cup) 2 tsp. sugar (2 tsp.)

1 tsp. oregano (1 1/2 tsp.)

1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast (1 1/2 tsp.)

Place all ingredients in the bread machine in the order given. Follow your machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directions for baking.

As soon as the bread is done, turn out on a wire rack to cool before cutting.

EMC lifestyle - One of Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aunts gave me this recipe for Greek style bread made in the bread machine.

I tried it one day when we were having a light summer supper, and we thoroughly enjoyed the flavour combination of feta cheese, black olives and oregano.

The bread is moist and keeps well for a couple of days. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite finish the first loaf, however, before the last couple of slices were starting to get a bit dry.

I had cooked a turkey a couple of days before and was making hot turkey sandwiches for supper.

I decided to use the last of the Greek bread as the bottom layer for the sandwich since the turkey gravy would help to moisten it.

The distinctive flavour of the bread transformed the hot turkey sandwiches into an entirely new and tasty dish.

It was so good that I expect Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be making this recipe whenever I have leftover turkey.

The Renfrew and Area Food Bank will also be on site accepting both food and financial donations. The regular Renfrew Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market will also be onsite for Taste of the Valley Saturday.

According to Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green, Taste of the Valley was an incredible success when it debuted in Town last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was amazed at the number and quality of local products introduced last year in Renfrew.

We are so fortunate to live in an area that produces such an incredible array of farm products and arts and crafts as well.

IN MEMORIAM COOKE, Jean July 13, 1935 - August 13, 2011 Gone are the days we used to share, But in our hearts you’re always there.

Never more than a thought away, Loved and remembered every day.

From Kerry, Chris, Marianne, Sam & Charlie SPARLING, Minerva In memory of our mother, Minerva Sparling You were a precious gift from God above, so much beauty, grace and love.

You touched our hearts in so many ways, your smile so bright even on the bad days.

You heard God’s whisper calling you home, you didn’t want to go and leave us alone.

You loved us so much, you held on tight, till all the strength was gone and you could no longer fight.

So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away, knowing that with our love we will be together again someday.

We love you and miss you.

We made our vows together, Until death do we part, But the day God took you from me, My whole world fell apart.

Sometimes I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m dreaming, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, That I can go on living, When I no longer have you.

Prior Runners offer free ‘learn-to-run’ program certainly can do run “homework” on their own.

While safety, security, and proper information are taken very seriously, the third and final component certainly is “fun”. It absolutely is possible to run and laugh at the same time, and anyone who has seen the Prior Runners on the streets of Arnprior will know this.

Graduation commencement exercises will certainly include a session at a local food and beverage establishment, The Learn to Run program is open to anyone who shows up. As with all physical endeavors, professional medical assessment may be a consideration for some people.

Participants will be running from the first session, so proper attire is highly advisable, but there will be many experienced runners there to provide advice on ‘what to wear’.

Runners will be required to sign a standard waiver before they can participate.

There is no charge for this clinic.

The use of facilities and rooms at the Nick Smith Centre, handouts, the professional teaching of a fitness expert and the assistance of the pace runners are all free.

Compare this to the expense and inconvenience of driving to Ottawa for a lesser program that charges participants a fee.

UNITY RUN OCT. 27

The clinic volunteers are asking that participants consider a

donation to Community Living in Renfrew County South or the Unity Run. Learn to Run starts Aug. 22 and runs through to Oct. 25. For more information, call Jane Dowd at 613-623-9963 or email jraedowd@sympatico.ca or call Andy Kalnins at 613-622-5464 or email flatrapids@gmail.com.

R0011560749

EMC lifestyle – The Prior Runners of Arnprior will offer a free ‘Learn to Run’ program at the Nick Smith Centre starting on Wednesday, Aug. 22.

Each session will start at 6:15 p.m. There will be a total of 10 sessions, and upon graduation runners will be well prepared to participate in Arnprior’s Unity Run on Oct. 27.

This important run supports Community Living in Renfrew County South, and gives runners the option of 3-K, 5-K or 10K. People who complete these 10 sessions will be able to plan on participating at either the 3-K or 5-K levels.

The Learn to Run program will consist of three components: Education, Participation, and Fun. Local personal fitness trainer Bette-Anne Dodge, owner of Inside and Out Fitness, is generously donating her professional expertise to educate runners on warm-ups, stretching, running technique, injury prevention, equipment tips and many other components of what makes runners run.

Participation will be based on the time-tested “run and walk” schedule. This means that after a brief timed run, there will be a walk, followed by another run, followed by a walk and so forth, until the session is completed.

Each week the run component will gradually increase. There will be pace runners to help and motivate runners of all abilities.

There is no such thing as “too fast” or “too slow.”

Successful runners will attempt to attend all 10 sessions, and

EMC sports – Arnprior athlete Jacob Pitter Plunkett is competing in the National Track and Field meet in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island this weekend.

Plunkett has excelled in track events in the past three years at Arnprior District High School, where he is entering Grade 12 next month.

He has also been training with the C.A.N.I. Track and Field Club in Ottawa since the summer of 2010. C.A.N.I. stands for Constant and Neverending Improvement.

Plunkett tries to get to at least one of the four C.A.N.I. practices in Ottawa each week.

Practices are held at Mooney’s Bay, Carleton University during the winter and the Louis Riel Dome in Orleans other times.

He has gone to track meets throughout the year in Montreal, Toronto and St. Lawrence University in New York State.

This spring, just when school track meets were starting, Plunkett fractured his foot. Nevertheless, he managed to break records at the Renfrew County and East Regional meets in the 110-metre hurdles.

Fortunately, he has been receiving physiotherapy this past month and is on his way to full recovery.

Plunkett is a veteran of several provincial and national track meets. Last year at the Nationals, he won bronze in the 300-metre hurdles and C.A.N.I.’s 4x100-metre relay team won gold the past two years.

This past weekend at the provincial track meet in St. Catherines, Plunkett won silver in the 100-metre hurdles and C.A.N.I.’s 4x100 relay team won silver in 42.34 seconds, barely missing out on gold (the winning team ran the race in 42.33 seconds).

Last year Plunkett received two letters of interest for athletic scholarships from United States schools.

In Charlottetown this weekend (Aug. 1719), he will be competing in the 300-metre and 110-metre hurdles, as well as in the 4x100-metre relay, in which he will be running to win gold for a third consecutive time.

Anyone interested in being a part of Plunkett’s journey and can help financially, contributions are gratefully accepted by email at plunkettjd@gmail.com or at the Arnprior Toronto Dominion bank branch.

The family offers sincere thanks to everyone who has ever helped Jacob with words of encouragement and offers of rides to practices and track meets.

Local ringette player to play for Team Russia in Worlds EMC sports – Arnprior ringette star Lauren McGonigal will play in the World Ringette Championship late this year.

Ringette Canada recently announced the teams that will participate in the Under-19 championship in London, Ontario from Dec. 28 to Jan. 3. The championship is an International Ringette Federation event and has grown from four to seven teams.

McGonigal will be one of several Ontario players added to the Team Russia roster.

Team Russia, Team France and Team USA are currently developing their ringette programs and are not yet able to support teams at the elite level. While the championship is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate their initiatives, Team Russia will be comprised mostly of Ontario players, Team France of Quebec players and Team USA from Western Canada.

The tournament also features three other teams: defending champion Finland, last time’s runner-up Canada East and Canada West.

Among those joining McGonigal on Team Russia are Hailey Moore of Stittsville, Sarah Brown of Kanata, Jenna Van Koppen of Metcalfe, Brittany MacDonald of Osgoode, Emilie Laviolette and Allie Marcotte of Nepean, and Sarah Gross, Emily MacDonald, and Stephanie Rheaume of Ottawa.

The head coach is Bryson Lamble of Nepean, with Carrie Lugg of Ottawa one of the assistant coaches. The teams will be attending a training camp Oct. 5 to 8, with Team Russia gathering in Montreal.

The 18-year-old McGonigal played forward for Team Ontario in the national championship Under-19 division in April, with her team winning a bronze medal.

During the regular season, she played for the Nepean Raven Belle AA team, which won the provincial title in early March.

McGonigal also participated in the Winter Games in Collingwood as part of Ontario United AAA Ringette team.

Amazing Olympic experience for Arnprior high school graduate

EMC sports – The 2012 London Olympics will forever hold a special place in the hearts of one former Arnprior District High School student and her family.

Laura Leadsford, daughter of Pat and Bill Campbell of Fitzroy Harbour, played a role in the July 27 opening ceremonies, performing with other volunteers for part of the show.

“It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done,” she said.

The event was a huge time commitment but worth the effort, said Leadsford, who logged more than 170 volunteer hours in preparation for the ceremonies.

Leadsford lives in Hampstead, north London, with her husband Simon and children, Harry, 10, and Sophie, 9.

“It was the whole thing, the anticipation and the excitement.

It was being part of something that was watched worldwide. It was great to be one little bit of something so big,” said Leadsford.

The Arnprior District High School graduate has lived in England for the past 15 years. She regularly returns to visit, and recalls the area fondly. She worked summers at Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital, before studying to become a physiotherapist at the University of Toronto in 1990.

She moved to London in 1999 after marrying Simon, who is British.

“After my performance Friday night I saw the Canadian Olympic team as I was walking back to the cast base. I’m so proud to be Canadian and be part of something so big.”

Among the highlights for Leadsford was learning how to hip hop and lindy hop and meeting all kinds of fantastic people, including Danny Boyle who signed her rehearsal bib.

When the call for volunteers was put out, Leadsford signed up and didn’t think much of it, aware that thousands would be looking to get involved.

Rehearsals slowly started up in spring and really kicked into gear in June, said Leadsford.

Being a part of the opening ceremony and seeing London come alive as host of the Olympics took a bit of the sting out of missing Canada’s hosting of the winter games earlier last year.

The part of the ceremony in which she was involved had wellknown English fairy-tale characters, including Peter Pan, Mary Poppins and Cruella Deville.

The children, along with her parents and friends, were pleased with her involvement.

“They thought it was great. They were telling everyone their mummy’s in the Olympics,” said Leadsford with a laugh.

A sense of camaraderie amongst Canadians was evident, too, said Leadsford, with the Canucks all showing up in red and white on a rehearsal date that fell on Canada Day and a chance meeting with the Canadian Olympic train underscoring national pride.

Canadian soldiers were among military personnel providing security for the games and Leadsford agreed with the common sentiment about the professionalism and efficiency of the service.

“We were always bringing them little treats and things,” said Leadsford. “They were great fun.”

No purchase necessary. Contest open to all residents of Canada, excluding Quebec, aged 18 years of age or older. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. One (1) grand prize will be awarded. Approximate retail value of the grand prize is $600. Entrants must correctly answer, unaided, a mathematical skill-testing question to be declared a winner. Contest closes August 31st 11:59pm EST. To enter and for complete rules visit www.save.ca

Rain doesn’t dampen Toastmasters gathering EMC lifestyle –Arnprior Toastmasters club held its second annual Picnic in the Park Aug, 8, but it had to be moved to an indoor location.

The rain, much needed in such a dry summer, did not dampen the evening.

Twenty Toastmasters members from Chalk River to Ottawa were in attendance for a potluck meal.

A mini-speech marathon consisting of six experience members entertained the gathering for 90 minutes with speeches.

Toastmasters is a non-profit organization that aids members in improving speaking abilities and leadership skills, which can be used in job marketable skills such as the job interview

and preparation in presentations. Plus, it helps in improving everyday ability in speaking, such as giving toasts at events and being able to give an effective confident opinion.

As skills grows, Toastmasters aids in growing confidence of ones abilities and worth.

Networking among the clubs in the valley and Ottawa also increases personal circles of potential contacts as contests and workshops continue to increase skills, knowledge and abilities of every member.

Arnprior Toastmasters meets every Wednesday at the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital at 6:45 p.m. Guests are welcome to check out this friendly, fun and safe environment hosted by the non-profit organization.

Diverted tires help kids

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE

EMC news - Scrap tires can make dreams come true for the Sunshine Foundation of Canada.

Between May 28 and June 2, Ontarians dropped off over 139,000 used tires at 72 locations across the province, including Arnprior Auto Parts. The collection events raised $357,960 for the Sunshine Foundation Children’s Charity at the third annual Tire Take Back Events.

The collections were organized by Ontario Tire Stewardship and the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association.

The six-day recycling blitz helped divert tires from landfills while raising money to assist children with severe physical disabilities and life-threatening illnesses fulfill a personal dream or take part in an adventure they will never forget.

The collection allowance association members receive for each tire dropped off is matched by the recyclers association.

“Congratulations to Ontarians for their outstanding recycling efforts and creating the most successful tire collection event to date,” said Andrew Horsman, the executive director of Ontario Tire Stewardship. “The number of tires collected nearly tripled last year’s amount, and stacked on top of each other, could be the height of more than 65 CN Towers.

Ontario Tire Stewardship has helped recycle more than 33 million tires in Ontario. Visit GreenMyTires.ca for details on registered collectors, as there are several in the Arnprior area.

Care coach campaign hits $19,000 – half-way ‘Please don’t forget us, the campaign is still on’

By Liz Wall Seniors At Home

EMC news - As the weeks go by and donations continue to come in, more is still needed to reach the goal of $40,000 to ‘Keep the Wheels Turning’ on the Para Transit Care Coach run by Arnprior-Braside-McNab Seniors At Home Program.

Since the annual campaign to ‘Keep the Wheels Turning’ started July 5 with the ‘Yellow Envelope Mail-Out’, $19,385.15 had been received. “Thank you to the 243 families to date who have made their donation and for those many notes of inspiration we have received,” say organizers. “Everything is very much appreciated.”

One such note came from Bill Burden of Antrim. “Arnprior and West Carleton are more than communities of lines,” said Burden.

When, in 2001, West Carleton was amalgamated with the City of Ottawa it was not without concerns for those residents custom to the life in the rural areas and who would now to be a part of city life.

One such concern - the vital service of Para Transit transportation.

“I was glad to hear (during our conversation over the phone) on July 12 that your coach car (Care Coach Para Transit vehicle) can pick up those in West Carleton who may be in a wheelchair and who need to get to Arnprior for appointments,” said Burden.

A local farmer, he himself is not in a wheelchair, but personally found it very important to support the campaign with a donation.

“Many vehicles today cannot accommodate such restrictions. And there are many disabled living in West Carleton and who physically live closer to the Arnprior County line then Ottawa city and who do require a Para Transit service,” said Burden.

The City of Ottawa does provide a

Para Transit Service to the residents of West Carleton.

But due to the time, distance and cost many feel it only makes perfect sense for those residents of West Carleton, who live closer to the Arnprior ‘County Line’ then the Ottawa city ‘County Line’, to be able to use the Para Transit Service provided by the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program.

“As we are living in a time when governments say it is more cost-effective to have our seniors and disabled stay at home for as long as possible, it is so very important that services like the Care Coach are offered to assist our population with their transportation needs,” said Seniors at Home executive director Dennis Harrington.

“It is individuals like Bill Burden who at this moment do not require this service but understands the importance of a Para Transit Service for those who do require specialized transportation.”

As the first president of the Arnprior Federation of Agriculture, Burden understands and knows first-hand the history and needs of the counties, in particular the rural areas.

“Our communities are more than (county) lines,” concluded Burden.

“The service is greatly appreciated.”

“You do a great service for our seniors,” Myrtle and Bob Maveety, Arnprior.

“I appreciated what you do for me,” Joe Descent, Arnprior.

“Keep the wheels turning,” Claire Keindel, Arnprior.

AUTUMN LEAVES DONATES

Thank you to Ken and Joan Chapman of Autumn Leaves Lodge, Braeside. The co-owners of the seniors’ lodge officially made the donation on Aug. 7. Colin Borshevsky, the Care Coach’s full-time driver, accepted the cheque in the amount of

$1,000 towards the campaign.

“We consider the Care Coach an essential service for all living within Arnprior and the township of McNab-Braeside as well for our residents,” said Ken Chapman, who is executive director of the lodge.

“The Care Coach program has been transporting residents of Autumn Leaves Lodge for many safe and happy years. Colin Borshevsky, the Para Transit driver, is friendly, careful, courteous, plus always considerate with our residents.

“Without the Care Coach, many persons would have no transportation available to attend senior day programs, doctor appointments and many other obligations. We could not do it without the care coach.”

CARE COACH HISTORY

The Care Coach first 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.

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.

Ice box brought various wonders for little Mary EMC lifestyle - If it hadn’t been for the ice house, and the Barnett ice box grandfather bought, we would not have had a way to keep food from spoiling.

But the ice house served another purpose as well, even though we kids were forbidden to use it for anything other than to store ice from the Bonnechere River, and retrieve a block when necessary.

It was a retreat on a hot day, but we had to sneak in and sneak out, as we were warned any unnecessary opening of the door would cause the ice to melt.

The ice house was always built on the north side of a building, in our case it was the little barn used to house the sheep.

It was further shaded too, by two big elm trees on either side, which were probably there more by accident than design.

It was made of straight upand-down lumber, which had weathered to black from more than a century of use.

There were no windows and the door was narrow and wide enough only to allow one body to go in at a time

Mary Cook’s Memories

BY MARY COOK

with the iron tongs to retrieve a block of ice when the one in the kitchen had melted down, filling the basin under the ice box with water.

When the winter was at its coldest, and the river had frozen solid, Father would cut huge blocks of ice, pile them on the flat bottom sleigh, and haul the load to the ice house.

He would be at the job for days ... drilling, sawing, and stacking the blocks in the ice house in neat rows.

Once he had enough that he thought we could survive until the next year, he made many trips to the saw mill for sawdust, which the owner was glad to get rid of.

Every square inch of ice was covered with the sawdust to protect it from the little bit of summer warmth that penetrated the wood walls.

It was usually Audrey or

Everett who were sent for a new block of ice.

They could be counted on to do the job the quickest, with the least amount of light let into the ice house.

It was pitch-black inside, and so they worked by feel rather than by seeing what they were doing.

When the house was built, a big wood slip lock was made to keep the door secure, and which could be used to open and close the door from either inside or out.

That was a great comfort to me, as I was always terrified of being locked inside some place and not being able to get out.

That door was supposed to be opened only when a block of ice was being taken out.

But that didn’t mean that was always the case.

Although I was much too

timid to do this on my own, I knew that my brothers would often slip into the ice house and spread out on the top blocks to cool off on a blistering hot summer day.

They would wait until Father was in a field, and Mother was busy in the kitchen, and then they would sneak open the big wood slip lock and put as much flesh as they could onto the ice.

They had to be very careful to rid themselves of any sawdust when they emerged, however.

Even a smidgen stuck to their overalls told the story of their adventure in the ice house, and they would be given a lecture on the evils of disobedience.

The ice wasn’t only for the ice box.

Mother made big jugs of iced tea, and Audrey would be sent for shards of ice, which would be washed thoroughly in a clean bowl, and then dropped into the tea.

We had never heard of ice cubes in the ‘30s.

For reasons which escaped me at the time, ice for the cold drink was never taken from the ice box.

Then on asking my older, and much wiser sister, why the ice had to come from the ice house and not the ice box, Audrey said “it was fresher,” which made perfect sense to me.

We could never afford an ice box.

NEW ICE BOX

But when Grandfather saw the many hardships Mother had to endure when she married a back-woods farmer after living so long in a big city, he bought a brand new wood ice box in Renfrew, and as well as keeping our food fresh, it served as a nice piece of furniture for the kitchen.

It sat kitty-corner and Mother always had a potted plant on the top of it, which at the time, I thought brought a touch of elegance to the kitchen.

Since I was the youngest of five, I was given jobs Mother thought I was capable of doing.

One was emptying the melted ice water from under the ice box.

It dripped into a large white porcelain basin and I was al-

ways checking it, because if it got too full, I was sure to spill it on the kitchen floor.

So several times a day, I got down on my belly, and stuck my hand in the basin to see if it was ready to be emptied.

In the winter time, the water was poured into the reservoir on the end of the Findlay Oval.

Anything we could do to cut down on dragging water from the pump out in the yard when the snow was knee deep, we did it.

But in the summer, the water was poured on the garden, or on Mother’s flower beds.

It was no small blessing that I never really appreciated back then; but we had the river, and so we had ice.

We had an ice house to store it in, and so were always able to keep our perishables fresh, we had a grandfather who had enough money to buy us an ice box.

We had a neighbour who was willing to let us cart away as much sawdust as we needed.

We were poor, but in many ways we were blessed.

Yes, indeed, we were blessed.

Organizers expressed optimism the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ re ban would be lifted for Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheduled ďŹ reworks display. And the township did indeed reduce its ďŹ re ban to a ďŹ re restriction, which will allow the ďŹ reworks to go ahead. The restriction permits also permits campďŹ res within a one-metre by one-metre space. However, the large triangular area, bounded by Murphy Road, Highway 508 and Brydges Road, stays under a full ban.

Got Your Back!

EMC events - Two of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest blues bands are coming to the area, as organizers anticipate attendance records to be smashed at this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Class Axe Guitars Calabogie Peaks Blues and Ribfest.

Calabogie Peaks president Paul Murphy and Ed Torres of partnering DAWG FM radio station in Ottawa are conďŹ dent the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s year-old attendance record will be shattered. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking ticket sales will run 12,000 to 15,000, which would easily eclipse last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attendance of 8,000. As the camping segment of the population increases in future years, Murphy says he expects attendance to go even higher.

Festival organizers say they have also kept the event affordable. Tickets range from prices as low as $15 for Friday and $50 for a full weekend pass. Hours are also expanded this year, with the gates opening at noon, instead of 4 p.m., on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reception to this event has been fantastic,â&#x20AC;? said Murphy, as Calabogie Peaks is drawing from far and wide, but especially from its three major ski markets of Ottawa, the Ottawa Valley and the St. Lawrence Seaway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The event appeals to all three markets,â&#x20AC;? said Murphy.

And attendance shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be hurt by two free events. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a free kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;zone (with tons of games) and free musiciansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; guitar and harmonica workshops for those who register at www.calabogieblues.com.

Numerous bands will be in the spotlight for the Fridaythrough-Sunday festival, but the biggest draws will be Downchild Blues Band of Toronto on Friday night and the Powder Blues Band of Vancouver on Saturday evening.

Lead singer Donnie Walsh is part of Downchild, whose big hits include Flip, Flop & Fly. Walsh and his brother were the inspiration for Dan Aykroydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation of the 1980 movie sensation, The Blues Brothers. And Powder Blues, established in 1978, keeps attracting audiences after going double-platinum with their very ďŹ rst album, Uncut, several years ago, and attracting more listeners with its other 11 albums. Powder Bluesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead singer is songwriter-guitarist Tom Lavin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real coup to get Powder Blues in eastern Canada,â&#x20AC;? said Torres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only playing three other dates this year and all three are in B.C.â&#x20AC;?

Being a ribs festival, too, four teams will vie for top honours, as the audience gets to enjoy the fruits of the competition.

Defending champion Kentucky Smokehouse will challenge the Crazy Canucks of London, Ont., Gator BBQ of Florida, and Horn Dawgs of Ohio. The presence of professional ribbers, says Torres, adds a world-class element. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like Olympians as far as pork goes. They take the competition very seriously,â&#x20AC;? said Torres, alluding to how serious cooking means seriously good food.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win situation, says Torres: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there for the ribs youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already there for the music, and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there for the music, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like ribs?â&#x20AC;?

Torres, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an organizer of the successful Toronto Ribfest, which just celebrated its 13th year, is a big fan of the Calabogie venue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a patch-of-grass festival,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a spectacular venue, with the natural amphitheatre hill and the lake and the golf course.â&#x20AC;?
