The Nature Conservancy of Canada has severed a slice of the old-growth white pine forest in downtown Arnprior. The non-profit preservation organization gave the portion of the beloved Gillies Grove to an adjacent landowner, near the Division Street North entrance. The .052 hectare (about 5,600 sq. ft.) is considered part of a road allowance leading to the Armstrong property, a white residence at 409 Gillies Grove Rd. There is a worry that unless the National Historic Site remains whole, it will be given away or sold off little by little to surrounding homeowners and developers. Let one piece go, according to the theory, other interested parties will demand equal treatment and a slippery slope will ensue. Nature Conservancy spokesman Gary Bell didn’t believe the public needed to be consulted on the deal, which saw the Armstrong family cover related costs.

Bee-ing together Ziggy Bauer hops on the bumble bee ride with little Mason Seymour. The Arnprior Fair was a big hit this year, especially with the return of a full-fledged midway after last year’s operator pulled out. For more fair photos, see page 5, 15, 25, 33, and 35. Arnprior’s summer of fun continues this weekend with the White Pine Festival (see schedule Page 4).

His organization, the owner of the property, contributed some funds to the purchase of the Grove, though he couldn’t give a figure. (About $300,000 was raised by local residents in the early 1990s – when the Oblate Fathers were considering a sale – and the provincial government chipped in another $100,000.) “We purchased the property,” Bell said, adding public notice was made through McNabBraeside township. The municipality posted a sign in front of the property and voted in favour of the deal at a planning committee meeting. An public meeting next week will complete the process. Bell’s group didn’t decide to divest itself of property without lengthy consideration, he said, and the inclusion of the entire board. The grove land is isolated by a driveway, has been assumed by the Armstrongs for many years, and holds no biological importance, he said. “It’s a little narrow strip of land under a lawn and driveway forever,” Bell said. “So we’re just transferring a little narrow strip.” See LIABILITY RISK page 7

Candidates talk highway expansion, pipelines, jobs Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke federal election candidates have responded to Metroland Media’s request to discuss three topics: Highway 17 expansion, the Energy East pipeline roposal and jobs. Incumbent Conservative Cheryl Gallant did not respond. However, Liberal candidate Jeff Lehoux and New Democrat Dan McCarthy agreed to share their opinions and that of their respective parties. They were given time to reflect and to consult party officials. Many residents and visitors in the riding have died or been seriously injured along Highway 17; the latest a serious five-vehicle crash on June 2 near Arnprior. It is universally considered a dangerous road. That is why as far back as 1979 federal and provincial governments have committed to four-laning the highway to Pembroke. Yet it hasn’t even been finished to Calabogie Road. “I don’t understand what the holdup is,” Lehoux said. “It is critical we get this built.”

Along with safety, Lehoux said the highway is important for opening business opportunities to global markets. He added that the party is committed to “upgrading all infrastructure.” Why isn’t the party prepared to commit to Highway 17? “I don’t have an answer for that,” Lehoux said. “The Liberal party is committed to upgrading all infrastructure and local representatives should play a role in making those decisions.” The NDP is committed to downloading infrastructure dollars to provincial and municipal governments. “So they can pick their priorities,” McCarthy said. “We are going to give the money to local people to do as they see fit.” He added that the way to make a specific project a priority is to have the federal government working cooperatively with the provincial government, something the Conservatives and Liberals are less than perfect at accomplishing. “The way to get it a priority is to not refuse to meet with premiers and have a running battle; that doesn’t help,” McCarthy said. “I would talk to the people in the Ontario government. It’s an econom-

ic issue, but it’s also a safety issue. The statistics on Highway 17 are horrendous.” ENERGY EAST

TransCanada is an energy company proposing to convert a natural gas pipeline to raw bitumen. The pipeline passes over numerous area waterways, including the Bonnechere and Madawaska rivers. The pipeline is 35 years old and will have to deal with much heavier loads if the Energy East project is approved. But the company could stand to make huge profits and contribute more to government coffers if it can sell on the international market from refineries in Montreal and Saint John. McCarthy said party officials haven’t been able to “get to yes” on the proposal. He blames the gutting of environmental safeguards for his party’s inability to commit or reject, saying not enough information is available to take an informed position. “Once we have a credible environmental process back in place, then we can look at the options,” McCarthy said. “We are for sustainable de-

velopment of natural resources.” He said shipping by rail is even less safe. Still, if fibre optic warning signals along pipelines are insufficient, he may oppose it. “If the technology is not there, I need to know that,” he said. Giving a nod to union sectors, he questions why Canada would export raw bitumen when those jobs could be created here. McCarthy rejects the notion of a dichotomy when it comes to the economy and environment. He said they go together in the emerging green economy. Lehoux and the Liberals are in favour of pipeline projects in general, but “we approach them with extreme caution.” He said an environmental assessment is needed before transporting diluted bitumen across waterways. “I’d be very, very caution about that. We have a lot of waterways and is that something we want?” He added that all voices, including those of indigenous people, should be involved in the process. JOBS

On generating employment in one

of the most impoverished counties in Ontario, Lehoux said the Highway 17 expansion would play a role. He also pointed to advancements in biomass technology, saying a Liberal government would commit to investing in green technology. “A properly managed forest, with biomass pellets generated from wood, could be good for job creation.” McCarthy, who lives in Burnstown, pointed to eco- and adventure-tourism as showing promise. He said the NDP party proposed a motion to reduce small business taxes from 11 to 9 per cent. “Cheryl voted against it,” he said. “Then they put it in their budget. But they promised three years from now. If the NDP is elected, it starts immediately.” To help offset the revenue loss, the NDP would raise corporate taxes to the median level of G7 countries. “Eighty per cent of the jobs in Canada are created by small and medium sized businesses,” he said. “I will meet with the small business community. “I’m a good listener. I understand where they are at, then I can take issues forward. “I will be an advocate for them.”

Green candidate critical of international trade treaty Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

The Green candidate in the Oct.19 election is a native of Renfrew who at the doorstep will denounce the CanadaChina trade treaty as a “sell out.” “It means the most powerful dictatorship in the world can sue for tax dollars if we pass democratic laws that affect their companies’ profits,” Stefan Klietsch said. “They can punish taxpayers for the democratic spirit to

pass fair and justifiable laws.” He also slams the Conservative government for widespread corruption, and misplaced sense of entitlement and victimhood. “They are gutting democratic institutions, deepening cynicism,” he said, “while the Green party is promoting a guaranteed annual income and a national pharmacare program.” Raised in Admaston-Bromley Township from the age of three, the 24-year-old came to love the Renfrew commu-

STEFAN KLIETSCH nity in his time at Admaston Public School, Renfrew Col-

legiate Institute (graduating in 2009) and in the Kazoku Jiujitsu dojo. He later studied at the University of Ottawa and completed an Honours Bachelor Specialization in Political Science, Magna Cum Laude, with a minor in Religious Studies. In his time in Ottawa he worked co-op jobs with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the City of Ottawa Environmental Services Department and Transport Canada. Since 2012 he has volunteered for leader Elizabeth

May’s parliamentary office, reporting on the proceedings of many parliamentary committees. Klietsch currently makes a living as a security guard working for Capital Security, Kamp Operations and Ironhorse Security in Ottawa. Like many in his party, Klietsch is not easy to peg on the left-right spectrum. Some in the party are environmentalists for the planetsaving principles, while others are environmentalists to save tax dollars through energy ef-

ficiencies. He believes in a woman’s right to access abortion, although he would increase education on options. He believes in a gun registry, but called the criminal charges aspect “disproportionate punishment.” He is on the right when it comes to health care and corporate taxes. But on the left when it comes to social programs that aim to reduce poverty. “I am pretty much all over the political spectrum.”

Liberal candidate holds meetings in Pembroke and Arnprior It may be early in a long campaign, but Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke federal Liberal candidate Jeff Lehoux was busy last week. He held a grand opening for his Pembroke campaign office Aug. 8, a meet-and-greet in Arnprior Aug. 11 and a town hall meeting in Pembroke Aug. 12 to discuss veteran’s issues. The Liberal party has also sent some of its heavyweights into the riding in an effort to bolster its candidate’s campaign. Once a Liberal stronghold, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke hasn’t voted Liberal since 2001 and the party’s candidate slipped to fourth place in the last federal election. At the Pembroke campaign office opening, Lehoux, flanked by team members, didn’t do the traditional ribbon-cutting, but instead cut a banner with the words middle class taxes. “It’s a great symbol of one of the core planks

of our platform” Lehoux said in a news release. “A seven per cent tax reduction for the middleclass and our Universal Child Care Benefit are core pieces to our economic platform to put more money, tax-free into the pockets of families.” LISTENING TO VOICELESS

When asked about his main strategies for taking back the riding. Lehoux replied: “My focus has been squarely on meeting and listening to the concerns of people across our great riding who have long had their voices ignored by the incumbent.” Previously stationed in Petawawa and a veteran of the Afghanistan War, Lehoux said that he believes the riding has not seen the benefits of a Conservative majority government. “As a country, I know we can do better. From taking better care of our vets, to procur-

ing proper equipment in a timely manner. It is clear reckless cuts from this government have hurt the military, our veterans and our riding.” His town hall meeting on veteran’s issues at the Pembroke Legion was attended by KanataCarleton Liberal candidate Karen McCrimmon, also a veteran, and Helmets to Hardhats Canada executive director Gregory Matte. The Arnprior event at the Kirkman was attended by Liberal federal Environment Critic John McKay, who urged party faithful to concentrate in getting the vote out in what he says R0053379310_0820

Staff

will be a close three-way race across the country. Lehoux campaign communications manager Adam Lesco said that the candidate doesn’t have any plans to open any other campaign offices in the riding. “We’ve been fortunate to have supporters offer spaces in their homes and businesses across the riding to serve at meeting places for us,” he said.

Township residents eager to accept archives at new township office Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

The regional archives will likely move to the future township hall, judging by reaction of those at a recent town hall on McNab-Braeside building plans. The Aug. 11 meeting saw about a dozen residents give guidance to council on a range of ideas, including possible tenants after a new town hall is built in the next few years. Those at the meeting, held in the fire station next to the township offices, learned that representatives from the Arnprior & McNab-Braeside Archives have approached the township to ask about having space open to the public in a new township office. The archives are turning down acquisitions for lack of space at the Arnprior Public Library. Two recent floods were caused by human error, though no damage occurred to the items in the basement location. The organization tasked with pre-

serving historical local documents is funded by both municipalities, with grants from provincial and federal governments, along with private donations. Council was not commenting on any of the issues discussed at the meeting. It was meant as a preliminary step built from public input. That input included an overwhelming support for the idea of bringing on the archives. One person said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives us our identity.â&#x20AC;? It was explained that equipment used to preserve documents would be provided, but that displays would include McNab-Braeside items. (The archives has also approached Arnprior about a new location.) The archives question was the sixth and final of the evening. The fifth asked where the new township hall should be located: Perneel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2473 Russett Dr. (near the current office); McNab Centre Park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 486 Calabogie Rd. (near the ball diamonds); or raze

TOM PECKETT the existing office and build on it. The township owns all three properties, unlike what â&#x20AC;&#x201C; half jokingly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was suggested by two residents: the derelict Gillies building overlooking the Ottawa River in Braeside. During previous meetings it became obvious that council is divided over the location. Some want Perneel because it offers plenty of space to expand, and a new neighbourhood could go up near the future cloverleaf at Calabogie Road and Highway

17. Others want McNab Park where the township can show itself off as a recreation (specifically softball) mecca. Lori Hoddinott spoke in favour of the 90-acre Perneel site and against the 10-acre McNab Park location. Hoddinott, chairwoman of the economic development committee, said the latter was â&#x20AC;&#x153;out of the wayâ&#x20AC;? while the former was â&#x20AC;&#x153;easily identifiable.â&#x20AC;? No one else from the public spoke on the issue. Scale was another topic discussed. The township office could simply be a location for staff with perhaps a small aspect of local heritage included. Or it could include a sizable recreation and/or arts facility. Does the community want a central meeting place? There was no clear answer given. Hoddinott likes the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x153;onestop-shoppingâ&#x20AC;? and a facility that can be rented. She noted there is nowhere in the region for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indoor activities such as gymnastics.

(Even Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming pool will be closed this fall.) Another resident is concerned about those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive accessing the facility. Yet another wants next to no spending. Mayor Tom Peckett reminded folks that new facilities and amenities will attract new development, which will keep the tax levy down for all. If a larger central facility is built, that will mean the new Braeside RA Centre will be about half the size of the current one. But the new White Lake RA Centre will be about double. The two will then be equal in size. However, if the township office is smaller, the two RA centres will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;medium sized.â&#x20AC;? Council encourages the public to fill out a survey online at surveymonkey.com/s/MBBuildings â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very interested in what you have to say on what is being proposed,â&#x20AC;? Peckett said.

Impending loss of door-to-door mail delivery decried John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

Close to 150 people showed up for a meeting in Renfrew Aug. 13 to express their dismay at the prospect of losing door-to-door mail delivery in town. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke candidates Dan McCarthy (NDP) and Jeff Lehoux (Liberal) shared the stage at the Renfrew Legion with three Canadian Union of Postal Worker (CUPW) representatives. Conservative Cheryl Gallant was conspicuous by her absence, but Renfrew Mayor Don Eady dropped by to observe. It was the second of three town hall meetings being hosted by CUPW in the riding, with a session in Pembroke two months ago attracting more than 200 people. A meeting was also held in Arnprior Tuesday (after press deadline). Most of the questioning and comments from the audience decried the replacement of door-to-door delivery with community mailboxes, scheduled to be in place in Renfrew by the end of the year and in other Valley communities, including Arnprior, by

He noted the NDP was the only party to move a formal motion in the House of Commons in an attempt to save home delivery service and the good jobs that come with it, but the Conservatives, including Gallant, voted it down. Lehoux, who said it was “inspiring to see Fast Free Towing so many people concerned about Tax Receipt (min. $300) their community,” Environmentally Friendly Program explained that the Program Accepts Vehicles of Any Age Liberals would put a moratorium Proudly Serving Rural Communities on Canada Post’s plans until proper Visit consultation and a review of the Canwww.kidneycar.ca ada Post business plan have been or call 1.866.788.2277 carried out.

Both candidates criticized Gallant for voting for the demise of door-todoor delivery and Lehoux called on people to “call her out” on her history of refusing to meet with constituents on issues that didn’t suit her. CUPW regional representative Rick Coffin said the union has been fighting for years for improved mail service, but since the Harper government’s been in power it’s been a “losing battle.” “We’re not sure if it (home delivery) will ever come back, but let’s make it an (election) issue,” he urged the crowd. He said Canada Post is showing a lack of empathy for its customers by taking away service without proper consultation and rationale. As well as reducing service, it is robbing smaller communities across Canada, such as Renfrew and Arnprior, of 6,000-8,000 good-paying jobs, he maintained. Coffin noted that many municipal councils have joined the fight against community mailbox conversion.

Unfortunately, Canada Post and the federal government refuse to listen to reason and continue to stick to the agenda of “shoving this down our throats,” he said. Meeting emcee Wade Wallace, a Pembroke letter carrier, called the Renfrew turnout “fantastic,” saying it showed “people do care about their community.” The Renfrew crowd “really got it,” he added. He said the Valley CUPW locals have been working together to spread awareness about the issue and “debunk” the “flawed reasoning” being used by Canada Post to justify the change. Wallace said Canada Post doesn’t need to eliminate home delivery, as it continues to make around $60 million a year. “We are modernizing, we are changing,” he said, adding that the employees are proud of the service they provide. While Canada Post says it costs half as much to deliver mail to community boxes as it does to homes, the personal service is key to the corporation’s success, Wallace said.  “The reason we are successful is that we do go to your door.” He said Canada Post seems to think “one system fits all users,” but in small towns the service fulfills different needs. “We are passionate about our job,” and provide a presence in a neighbourhood, he said, noting carriers notice when things are not normal, such as a senior not collecting mail, and can sound the alarm. It’s sad the change is having the greatest effect on the “most vulnerable,” said CUPW rep Lori Hacking. Coffin said that while the amount of letters is falling, parcel business is up, and the corporation should be looking at things such as postal banking to improve the bottom line.

Reeve on national committees Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack has been appointed to two Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) standing committees and two of their forums. The FCM’s board of directors has established 10 standing committees and forums to facilitate more detailed debate and provide the board with recommendations on priority policy and program issues. The committees are comprised of both board members and other municipal elected officials. Stack will sit on the International Relations Standing Committee, which deals with global

This slice of the Gillies Grove, to the left of a road allowance, will be given to private property owners after an Aug. 26 public meeting at township hall.

Liability risk gone with Grove severance land; county planner Bruce Howarth says all the rules have been followed: end of story. “It’s a done deal as far as we are concerned,” Peckett said. “It’s all been said and done.” Even the upcoming public meeting, to be held Wednesday, Aug. 26 at 7 p.m., in council chambers, will result in little more than a formality. Peckett said a few upset voices won’t cause the township to intervene between willing parties. “There’s always going to be some people who oppose,” Peckett said. “They need to direct their questions to the Nature Conservancy of Canada.”

Bell said the move will solve a possible liability issue for the organization. If someone maintaining the property were to injury themselves, the Nature Conservancy could be sued for damages. This deal merely recognizes on paper a situation long in existence. “This is putting legality to what has been taking place in reality for a long time,” Bell said. “We acquired (the grove) property to protect it. This part wasn’t protected and was a liability.” However, none of this is sitting well with Herb Langer, founder of the decades-old Save the Grove Committee. He said the deal is coming together too quickly, and with not enough input from the community. “None of this is making any sense. Are they trying to hide something?” Langer said. “There’s a lot more going on than meets the eye.” Like many others, Langer is deeply passionate about Gillies Grove. It is home to many trees that stand 130 feet tall, and includes the tallest White Pine in Ontario; this on sandy soil that normally does not support trees of that kind. Many fascinating plant and wildlife also call the grove home. Langer wonders if the province and federal governments were notified (since they contributed money and special recognition to the site). But more importantly he said it sets a frightening precedent. “If no one’s looking out for the Grove, then pieces of it will get chipped away,” he said. Bell responded with a firm denial. “No. This was a very specific and distinct piece of land being transferred,” he said. “It’s unlike anything else in the grove.” Township Mayor Tom Peckett repeated on two occasions that the municipality has made its decision. The organization wants to give it to the family; the family wants to assume the

He will also sit on the Standing Committee on Municipal Finance and Intergovernmental Arrangements, which focuses on municipal powers, roles and responsibilities, federal-provincial/ territorial-municipal relations, municipal fiscal tools, international trade rules and disputes, GST and other tax issues. The reeve will also participate in two forums to discuss such issues as infrastructure, rural economic development, and interdependencies between rural and urban communities.

OPG IS CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON THE OTTAWA RIVER TO PROTECT ONTARIO’S BIODIVERSITY. Ontario Power Generation is conducting research in the vicinity of its Des Joachims, Chenaux and Chats Falls hydroelectric generating stations. This research, which is being carried out by Kleinschmidt Associates and Bowfin Environmental Consulting, is in support of OPG’s ongoing American eel and lake sturgeon mitigation studies for these species at risk. Kleinschmidt and Bowfin boats may be in close proximity to the shoreline as it completes day and night-time fishing abundance studies and shoreline inspections. This yearly research is being conducted under permits from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and in accordance with O. Reg. 242/08 (as amended by O. Reg. 176/13) under the Ontario Endangered Species Act. Work will continue until the end of September. Please visit www.opgbiodiversity.ca to learn more about OPG’s biodiversity programs.

Change not delivered properly

he jury is out on whether the elimination of home mail delivery in Canada is a necessary evil. Canada Post and its Conservative allies argue that with traditional letter mail waning in the face of social media, door-to-door mail delivery is no longer feasible for the Canadians (33 to 63 per cent depending who you believe) who still receive the service. The postal carriers and their allies, particularly the NDP, argue that with the increase in parcel post (thanks in part to online shopping) and innovation Canada Post can weather the storm just fine, thank you, and doesn’t need to stamp out home delivery and the jobs that go with it. The conversion to community mailboxes certainly stirs up emotions. Some people actually like them, saying they promote exercise and are a good place to meet up with neighbours for a daily chat. Others decry them as a blight on the landscape that are especially hard to access for seniors, the disabled and others with mobility challenges. No matter what you think of the changeover, it’s coming, maybe even if the government changes Oct. 19. First to Renfrew and then next year to Arnprior. The debate will continue throughout the

federal campaign and beyond as the issue has touched a nerve. It’s difficult to get people out to a public meeting (ask local municipal councillors), so when 200-plus and almost 150 turn out in Pembroke and Renfrew respectively, it shows people are engaged. While there are pros and cons to the shift, there is one aspect that is not in doubt. The changeover has not been handled very well by Canada Post. A survey put out by the corporation to ‘consult’ with residents makes it clear the decision has already been made. Neighbourhoods also don’t have any say in where the community mailboxes will be located. The sop to the disabled, giving them an opportunity to have mail delivered once a week, is an insult. It is an affront to the dignity and privacy of some of our most vulnerable. As obvious at public meetings on the issue in Valley towns, people are happy with the way the conversion is proceedings. Canada Post should have realized its plans would meet with resistance, especially in rural areas such as the Ottawa Valley where people aren’t afraid to speak their minds. If the corporation sticks to its guns, it should modify its plans and approach to better respond to citizens’ concerns.

Gillies Grove is once again at risk of being cut down and carved up To the Editor: Nearly 25 years after initiating the Save the Grove Committee, it’s with a heavy heart that I once again must appeal to the community for support to save Gillies Grove. The threat this time is not the total destruction of the forest, but the erosion of the integrity of the Grove’s boundaries. McNab-Braeside council has issued notice that there is a request to sever a sliver of the Grove property and include it into a neighbour-

ing property. That doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it is, and here’s why I think so. The Save the Grove Committee worked long and hard with the community, both in Arnprior and McNab Braeside, to ensure the Grove would not be destroyed, raised money to purchase the property, and then had it transferred to the Nature Conservancy of Canada, trusting that they would ensure the Grove would survive for future generations to enjoy. There was never any intent to have any one

individual or entity profit from this effort - except the public. The proposed severance does not follow that thinking at all. The money raised to purchase the Grove came from community donations, corporate sponsors, and a large portion - about $100,000 - from the government of Ontario. Those tax dollars were to provide a place for the public, not to enrich anyone. The severance will enrich the neighbouring property and diminish the Grove, so how is this right? Gillies Grove is listed as a National Historic Site. It’s small enough already, so if there should be continual erosion of the Grove boundries, how long will it be before it becomes insignificant and loses that designation? This proposed severance sets a dangerous precedent that in future could be pointed to when other proposals for severance arise. The

question that will be asked then is, why were they allowed to sever a piece of the Grove, and I cannot? Where will it end? The best way to avoid all of this is to convince McNab-Braeside to not allow this severance to happen in the first place. Gillies Grove is a shared resource of both Arnprior and McNabBraeside. If we want to continue to share this wonderful treasure, we must speak up now, or we could wind up watching the beginning of the demise of Gillies Grove. A public meeting is being held at McNabBraeside council offices on Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. and I plan to stand up and tell them no to the severance. When it comes to Gillies Grove, just let it be. The final question is, will I stand alone?

Tier II Jr. A hockey great for Packers The changes that have occurred are long overdue, and will give our division more of an Ottawa Valley flavour. The ‘Valley’ division of the CCHL will see Arnprior playing in Westport, Athens, Brockville and Prescott as well as our longtime rivals Renfrew, Perth and Stittsville. Our games will now be streamed on the Internet for anyone wanting to get quick updates on scores who cannot attend games. As well, this is the last year for overagers in our league. We will be concentrating on players 16 to 20 years old and will be working to compete in the Ontario Jr. A Championships at the end of every season.

I have heard many things over the past few months, but, all in all, these changes are good for our league and a breath of fresh air for the Arnprior Packers. It also makes for more work, and, as is my usual plea at this time of year, I am looking for volunteers to help out in the upcoming season. Because of the new league standards, a certified trainer is our biggest issue right now, and as well, game day volunteers would be appreciated. As the summer draws closer to an end, I always look forward to the Jr. hockey season. My many years behind the bench with the Packers have been a tremendous joy. The players that I have had

the pleasure of coaching, and, yes, even the large percentage of parents I am in contact with make this a memorable experience. But no Jr. hockey team can be successful without volunteers, and, we are no different. Please, contact me throught the Arnprior Packers website if you are interested at all. I hope I’ve cleared up some things, and, I hope to see you at the rink in September. Bill Griese, head coach /GM Arnprior Junior Packers CCHL2 Jr. A

If he wins, and quits he might beat the record for shortest term in office for an MP. Or he could cross the floor to another party - he’s certainly not bound by ideology. In 1993 he supported the Reform Party, ran and lost the Liberal nomination before running as an Independent. Recently he approached John Hamill, president of the Liberal Riding

Association of Renfrew-NipissingPembroke, and asked that he be appointed as the nominee; seeking to bypass the typical nomination battle. Hamill referred him to the Liberal’s Open Nomination Policy, which saw retired Corporal Jeff Lehoux win the chance to carry the party’s banner. Clouthier didn’t even file papers for the nomination. There is a reason Clouthier lost in the past and a reason he served only one term as our MP. See FORMER, page 10

To the Editor: Hec Clouthier is once more contemplating a run as an Independent candidate, and is extolling the virtues and powers an independent can wield. He implies we were too stupid to understand these virtues in the last election. However, I wonder if this one-time MP actually knows what he’s talking about. Independents are shunted away to the Opposition benches and given no time to speak, or ask questions of the government. If they want to open their mouths they need approval of the House to comment on a debate and this rarely happens. Famous for verbose, grandiose diatribes, this could prove decidedly unpleasant for Mr. Clouthier! He likes to stay in the limelight and could be lost without it. Actually, in 1997 he said as much. He said in Parliament that “If I were

To the Editor: This upcoming season brings about many changes to junior hockey in the Ottawa Valley, and, with many rumours floating around, I thought I would clarify a few things. The old Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League is no more and has been replaced with the CCHL2. What the Arnprior Jr. Packers will be competing in is a new Tier II Jr. A Hockey League. Our league will still cater to players wishing to further their educations at the college and university level, and our league will still focus on local area talent. Our home games will still predominately be on Friday nights and Sunday afternoons.

Former MP failed to stand up for riding Continued from page 9

He failed to stand up for the people of the riding, from seniors to students to gun owners, preferring to spend his time sucking up to the Prime Minister and using his time in the Commons to talk about harness racing and sports; spending less

than one-third of his speaking time talking about our riding and our issues. He wasn’t a great MP and his current behaviour, coupled with a clear lack of understanding of policy and historically apparent selfishness, suggests that he hasn’t changed much since

2000. Regardless, we need a new generation of politicians to solve the problems we face. The time where the House of Commons was mostly made up of stodgy old cohorts is passed. Our House of Commons must be a house of the commons, and represent the make-up of the

common people, presenting a myriad of sexes, sexualities, races, religions, ages, and occupations. We need change. We need to move forward; not back.  Brendan Edge Arnprior

Why red flowers are so rare

Nature is awash with colour. There are blue birds, yellow butterflies, and green frogs. All of these colours plus white, brown, pink, and purple adorn local wildflowers. But although red is frequently seen in birds, that colour is virtually absent in our wildflowers. Why is that? Well, most plants depend on cross-pollination for seed production. While a few use wind to deliver their pollen to a non-related recipient, the majority of plants depend on animals to perform that task. Insects are the most common couriers with different groups being attracted to specific types of flowers. That specificity is partly determined by the colour of the wildflower. Bees find blues particularly attractive while yellows draw the attention of hover flies. White flowers attract butterflies and moths. Red, however, gets ignored by all of these insects because most cannot see that colour. As a result, we find very few red flowers. There is, however, one notable exception. Along calciumrich shores of rivers, brilliant red wildflowers are currently flowering. Named for their striking colour, Cardinal-flowers boldly stand out against their green backgrounds. But if these stunning flowers cannot be seen by insects, who then takes care of their pollination? As you have likely guessed, hummingbirds are their pollinators. Ruby-throated Hum-

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way mingbirds are attracted to red items, which is why we offer them sugar water that is either died red or placed in red containers. Cardinal-flowers have an ingenious design to ensure that a hummingbird performs the service it is paid to do. The enticement - sugar-rich nectar - is held in a long spur jutting out below the petals. To access it, a hummingbird must place its long bill as deeply as it can into the spur. It then shoots out its long, extensible tongue, which picks up the sweet liquid. As a hummingbird hovers and contentedly sips its meal, unbeknownst to it, the stamens, which project over the top of the flower, rub against its head, adorning it with a load of pollen. That pollen gets carried from plant to plant, and is removed when the little bird visits a bloom in which the stamens have been replaced by a flower’s sticky stigma. As is the case with many wildflowers that sport multiple blooms, the oldest flowers, which are the lowest on the stalk, offer the strongest attraction and hence are visited first. They are, therefore, the

first to change their sex, which means that pollen from the lower blooms is seldom carried to the uppermost blooms on the same plant. It is by no coincidence that Cardinal-flowers bloom near summer’s end. At that time hummingbirds are preparing to migrate and so they look for sources of fuel. Additionally, the young hummingbirds have fledged, so the number of birds available for pollination has dramatically increased. Cardinal-flowers and hummingbirds are an excellent example of coevolution. Each depends on the other for an essential benefit. Hummingbirds need nectar to fuel their journey south. Cardinal-flowers need to get pollinated. While for humans seeing red is considered to be a bad thing, for Cardinal-flowers, it is anything but that!

County pushes for four-laning to Renfrew Staff

The County of Renfrew is continuing its efforts to ensure the fourlaning of Highway 17 will continue to Renfrew when the Campbell to Scheel Drive section is completed next year. Despite efforts from some northend County politicians, the county is sticking to its support that the next stage of four-laning should run from Scheel drive past Renfrew to Stewart Street. That would provide four-lane connections to highways 508 and 511 to Calabogie cottage country and

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY URBAN SPORT IS THE

BEST SELLING YAMAHA ATV STORE IN ONTARIO!!!

Perth, as well as Highway 60 to Algonquin Park. Reeve Peter Emon reports the county’s development and property committee has come up with a revised business case that could help ensure tenders for the projects are let for the whole stretch past Renfrew within the transportation ministry’s 10-year plan. The county’s report provides economic and safety reasons, backed by studies and statistics, for continuing the four-laning to Renfrew as soon as possible. Emon notes that most of the land acquisition is complete on the

stretch, whereas there is still plenty of preparation work to do in the Renfrew-to-Meath Hill and Meath Hillto-Petawawa areas. The issue was expected to be raised by county officials at this week’s Association of Municipalities of Ontario convention that ran Sunday through Wednesday at Niagara Falls. The county was also scheduled to make a joint presentation with neighbouring counties to provincial officials on economic development in Eastern Ontario and express its opposition to Ottawa’s Places to Grow initiative.

year, Canada Post’s busiest. He said the Conservatives try to argue that only 33 per cent of Canadians received home delivery, but when considering apartment dwellers and those like himself who walk up their rural driveways to get their mail, it is more like 63 per cent. McCarthy also scoffed at Gallant’s contention in a letter to local newspapers that home delivery is a threat to the environment because of all the junk mail. He suggested that small businesses and charities are major beneficiaries of the service and are being blindsided by its loss. Wallace suggested that if Gallant was really concerned about the carbon footprint, she wouldn’t support replacing carriers walking door-to-

door with those delivering mail by vehicles to community boxes. In response to question whether Gallant was alerted to the meeting, Wallace said he sent two registered letters and a phone call inviting her, but got no response. “That her chair (on the stage) is empty is disappointing,” he said. “We respect her position, we just disagree with it.” Lehoux urged people to write Gallant a letter and ask her why once again she didn’t show up. “It’s time people stopped taking this (noshows),” he said. “This has gone beyond partisanship, it’s a lack of respect for constituents.” Several people took home ‘Save door-to-door’ signs from the meeting, while others wanting them were told to ask their carriers for them.

That could be particularly useful and easy to install in rural areas where banks have pulled out, but there are still postal stations, Coffin explained. McCarthy said “the Conservatives’ fingerprints are all over Canada Post’s five-point plan” justifying the conversion. It goes along with their ideology that public services should be privatized, he added. He said the rationale behind the move and the Conservative support for it “defies reality,” charging the report suggesting the corporation is facing a financial crisis was based on revenue in a lock-out and didn’t account for the final three months of the

Community Choir begins 25th year welcoming new members seniors’ gatherings. And here’s an unknown fact about choir singing that might convince you to join: Research has shown that singing in a choir has many mental health benefits. Studies have found that when compared with singing alone or playing team sports, choristers stood out as experiencing the greatest benefit. Along with this benefit, members of the Arnprior Community Choir have said they also feel healthier, create friendships, expand their understanding of various sorts of music, and learn effective techniques of singing, with lots of fun thrown in, thanks to Webber. As for the 25th anniversary of the choir, several events are being planned. For example, choir members

Connected to your community

Stellar day at the fair for folks with special needs and their families To the Editor: Congratulations Arnprior for hosting a community event for persons with special needs and their families Friday, Aug. 14. “We love what the Arnprior Fair Board is doing with the running a part day as a celebration for persons with special needs and their families.” I heard it time and again on Friday at the fair from everyone. I took pictures (with permission) on behalf of the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide to add to this article. From every walk of life they came, families who have a member with special needs for a day filled with laughter and goodwill toward others. It was a pleasure to help out and to perform for such a great crowd while they ate their lunch. Thank you Hydro and our other sponsors. We had a great turn-out in part because of a number of kind and caring crews. Sue Clark and her Waba crew contacted and co-ordinated everything from participants to volunteers, food and sponsors, staff and crew from Arnprior Fair and especially from World’s Finest shows and all those who provided support, security and transportation. This is year two for Arnprior Fair and a great success. Thank you to all from the many families and individuals who participated. Gloucester Fair also holds a day like this. For more information, contact them directly. See you next year! Maria Hawkins Arnprior

Arnprior to host Highland dance competition this Sunday will be an onsite canteen, complete with hamburgers from M&M Meats.” Each dancer will be doing four dances and at the end of the day the premier dancers will be performing their own version of the Cake Walk. “This is so exciting to watch pairs of dancers who will have their own interpretation of the dance. The lassies and lads have lots of fun and the crowd likes to start clapping with the dancers,” said Stewart.

Thanks for keeping my daughter alive in my heart. Big hug to Jan and Molly, my co-organizers for their hours of hard work - you two are the best. “Come one, come all and sit back to enjoy a wonderful day with the dancers.” For more information, call Stewart at613623-4283.

The Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dancing Competition is expected to attract more than 100 dancers to Arnprior this Sunday, Aug. 23, The Arnprior Highland Dancing Association presents the 15th annual competition at Robert Simpson Park, where a stage will be set up next to the bandstand. Dancers are coming from as far as Toronto, Ottawa and Quebec areas. “It’s the best location in the Ottawa Valley,” said organizer Renee Stewart. “It certainly has the best Ottawa River view.” The competition is held each year in memory of Stewart’s daughter, Caitlin, who passed away after a car accident Nov. 2, 1998. The competition starts at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 3 to 4 p.m. Stewart encourages members of the public to drop in and check out the dancing and the music. The dancers are colourfully dressed in their kilts and national costumes, she explains. The dancers will be accompanied by accomplished bagpipers. “Everyone is invited down to the park for a wonderful day of dancing and listening to bagpipes. The dancers enjoy an enthusiastic crowd to bring out the best performance from the dancers,” Stewart said. “Bring a lawn chair and sun screen. Admission is free, but a donation to Caitlin’s Scholarship would be appreciated. There

North Lanark Highland Games to bring tradition to Almonte Saturday Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

The sound of bagpipes will ring through the streets of Almonte this Saturday, Aug. 22 as the 32nd annual North Lanark Highland Games come to town. As one of the biggest festivals to be held in Mississippi Mills, bringing an average of 6,000 guests to the Almonte Fairgrounds on Water Street each year, the local Highland games are steeped in tradition. “There are games held all over the world,” said Heidi Lowry, a member of the event’s board of directors who also competes in the heavyweight challenges each year. “Our local event has been hanging around for a long time.” Every highland games event is held to a certain standard, Lowry said, and must include four components: clans, dancers, pipe bands and heavy events. The North Lanark Highland Games event incorporates all of those criteria into a full day of Celtic and Scottish entertainment. This year’s event will include all of those things, featuring more than 80 registered dancers, at least 20 pipe bands and back-to-back heavyweight challenges.

Facebook photo

The 32nd annual North Lanark Highland Games will bring bagpipes, traditional dancers and kilts to the heart of Almonte this Saturday, Aug. 22. Festivities will include dancing, pipe bands, kids’ activities, vendors, and, of course, heavyweight competitions like the caber toss. The event kicks off at 9 a.m. and continues until the massed bands sound off at 5:30 p.m. Even then, a ceilidh, or Scottish party, will continue at the event’s beer garden site. The only break in events, Lowry said, is

for the opening ceremonies at 1 p.m. Visitors will be able to take in various attractions throughout the day. Of course, the main attraction is the heavyweight competitions, such as the caber toss and hammer throw.

“Everyone likes to see us crazy people that throw heavy things around,” Lowry joked. “It’s a big draw for people.” These events will take place throughout the day, but this year’s event has an added spark to make things a little more entertaining. “This year we’ll be having the first co-ed team challenge we’ve ever heard of at a highland games event,” Lowry said. “I don’t know if something like this has ever been done.” Lowry said that many heavyweight competitors often compete with brothers, sisters or other family members – but not this year. Instead, the games will pair these former duos with another teammate and pit loved ones against each other in a friendly, but still serious, competition. “There’s nothing better than making fun of one another,” Lowry said. “It’s all about making it that much more entertaining for the crowd.” Team challenges are scored similarly to golf, in that the lowest score is the best. Teammates will compete individually in eight events, gaining one point for first place and more for lower ranks. Then, teammates’ scores will be combined to determine the winning pair.

Tickets to the games are available in advance at Almonte’s Mill Street Books, Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce and Pakenham’s Nicholson’s Sundries, or at the gate the day of the event. Advance tickets are available for adults only at $14 each. At the gate, tickets cost $17 for adults and $6 for children aged six to 13. Parking at the fairgrounds is limited, but free parking will also be available at the Almonte Community Centre. Two free shuttles will be running from the centre to the event all day. Lowry said the event is a fun time for everyone, but it’s especially exciting for those who have Celtic or Scottish roots. “It’s in our blood,” she said. “The pipes call and we follow.” More information about the North Lanark Highland Games can be found on their website at www.almontehighlandgames.com.

Capital Fair

Free Gate admission

is the last big summer hurrah

For the past 40 years, the Capital (formerly Gloucester) Fair has welcomed spring to the National Capital Region, bringing fun and excitement along with it. Now in its second year as the 10 day late summer event at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, the Fair promises to have something for everyone with wild and crazy outdoor monster truck shows, western horse and barrel racing shows, Eastern Ontario’s largest midway, three days of senior’s bridge tournaments, a raucous demolition derby, free daily live entertainment, a comedic hypnotist, a daily dog stunt show, Armwrestling championships, an amateur BBQ competition, a Petting Zoo and a huge kids zone among lots of other attractions. It’s is a great way to get out and have one last summer celebration with the whole family. The Fair’s signature event, the Monster Trucks on a Mission show is not your average extreme action feature. These trucks take full advantage of the outdoor venue to reach speeds and heights and perform tricks that can’t be performed in any indoor arena. With a show on Friday, August 21st, Saturday, August 22nd and Sunday, August 23rd, there’s lots of opportunity to enjoy this spectacular event. Discount tickets are available on-line (capitalfair.ca) for a limited time and at the door for only $25.00. Special combo packages are available but only on-line. They offer all day midway rides and admission to the Monster Shows. There are also VIP packages for the best seats in the house, a pit pass and autograph session. Cars and trucks will be crashing all over the fair, as the Monster Truck Show is complimented by a return of our FREE Demolition Derby on Thursday night. See our derby cars smash and crash, all to the delight of the crowd. And it won’t just be the car’s strength that will be tested. On Sunday the Ontario Championship arm-wrestling competition will push competitors to the edge. All of that outdoor fun is sure to build up a healthy appetite and barbeque is

the name of the game at the Capital Fair at the D&S Southern Comfort B.B.Q. Restaurant “Smoked to the Bone” barbeque competition. The competition will pit amateur teams against each other for $1,000 in cash and prizes. Think your barbecue talents deserve glory? Why not try your hand? All you need is a BBQ. Chicken and ribs are provide with your admission. For animal enthusiasts, there are western horse barrel races on Friday and Saturday night and a full Gymkhana show on Sunday. The Kids Zone features the Bird of Prey show where families can meet eagles, owls and hawks up close and personal. See them soar overhead as the conservation team explains the habitat and challenges these species face. There’s also a petting zoo and pony rides. Also inside the Kids Tent is DooDoo, the world famous clown and his Dance Party. There’s also the Reptile Rainforest, the Kommunity Stage and the Travelin’ Farmer display where city folk can get in touch with their country cousins. Kids young and old can enjoy the World’s Finest Midway, which delivers all the best rides from summer´s past including the Cannonball, Music Express, Alien Abduction and Fireball. All-day ride passes are regular $36 or you can purchase in advance for $18. The Capital Fair also appreciates the community it thrives in, so they give back every year the day before the fair starts with the Hydro Ottawa Special Needs Day. This year we will host over 1,500 special needs children to a private party where legions of Hydro Ottawa volunteers help move children to and from World’s Finest Midway rides and then off to a hotdog and ice cream lunch in the Hydro Ottawa food tent. Entertainment, Karaoke and a Petting Zoo, courtesy of Monalea Petting Zoo, round out what is the best day of the year for many of these children.

So come check out all that the fair has to offer! Now Starring

Ian Squires was L’Arche Arnprior’s founding member, the first person who came to live with us, Brian and Mary Lou Halferty, at L’Arche Frontenac in Harlowe, Ontario. The actual beginning of the community dates from the time of his arrival. He came to live with our family – myself and Mary Lou and our first two children, Erin and Peter. During his early days with us, we were building a rather large addition on our house. I was doing most of the construction myself, and Ian was helping. I particularly counted on him to help me carry and lift the various building materials.  Most of the time it worked out pretty well, although there were occasional incidents, like the day he dropped a hammer on my head from the floor above. That hurt. Mary Lou was pregnant when Ian came to live with us, and she gave birth to our daughter Mary Beth on Dec. 4, 1975. Because Erin and Peter were born at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, and because this birth was also to be by C-section, Mary Lou continued with her same doctor there and the birth was scheduled for St. Mike’s. All of us had to travel down to Toronto for this occasion, Ian included.  Ian was welcomed for a few days in the New House at Daybreak while Mary Lou was giving birth and spending her five days in the hospital. After Mary Beth was born, I took Ian with me to St. Mike’s to visit. At one point Ian was alone in the room with Mary Lou and the baby, and a nurse came in and asked if Ian was the father. Ian got a big kick out of that, as did all of us. Afterwards, driving back to Daybreak, I was so excited and distracted that I didn’t    notice a police car following me. I drove all the way up into the Daybreak property, stopped by the New House, and then saw the cruiser and the flashing red lights in my rearview mirror. I had been caught speeding. I told the  officer that I was sorry, but that I was a bit distracted because my wife had just had a baby. The officer gave me a lecture, but not a ticket. Ian was very amused by the whole situation, and told the story many times over at community gatherings. I could escape the long arm of the law, but I couldn’t escape Ian’s memory.

COMMUNITY news

Canadian Tire to be centre of new-look mall CT REIT, a publicly traded subsidiary of Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited confirmed last week it has acquired the Arnprior Shopping Centre. In a news release, the Town of Arnprior said it began working with Canadian Tire’s real estate team and its respective consultants earlier this year to help facilitate the purchase and re-development of the shopping centre, which will include, among other things, a newly constructed Canadian Tire Store. Both the Town and CT REIT are excited to see this essential commercial property re-developed as a new and improved regional shopping destination, says the town release.

Thieves target cars, bicycles in Arnprior Someone is stealing items from vehicles in Arnprior Renfrew-Arnprior OPP report a wallet was stolen from an unlocked vehicle on McLean Avenue overnight Sunday Aug. 16-17. The investigation revealed the debit card in the wallet had been used by two male suspects at several convenience stores prior to the victim discovering the theft. OPP Constable Walid Kandar is investigating. Another car on Seventh Avenue in Arnprior was entered and rummaged through but nothing was stolen. A bicycle was stolen from outside a residence on Daniel Street North between 11 a.m. and noon Monday, Aug. 17. The bike is described as a silver mountain bike with black decals on the frame of flames and stripes. There are no suspects.

The Town will continue to work with CT REIT throughout the revitalization process, with an anticipated opening date for the newlook mall centred around an expanded Canadian Tire store in fall 2016. “The Town has been aggressively working over the past three years on attracting new commercial growth to Arnprior, in order to better serve our residents and bolster our local economy,” said Mayor David Reid. “We are very pleased to have been able to work with CT REIT on this significant commer-

cial investment, situated along one of the main gateways into our community. This re-development will not only provide Canadian Tire with much-needed additional and rejuvenated retail square footage, but will also result in the revitalization of the Shopping Centre, helping to fill some gaps in local shopping needs, as identified in our recent Retail Demand Study.” The Town congratulated CT REIT on its new acquisition and “looks forward to continued successes in new and revitalized commercial development in the Town in the years ahead.”

The dynamic wave features one of the best launching platforms for freestyle kayaking’s most spectacular moves. The Squirt Boat championships will be held at the powerful eddy line at McCoy’s Rapid known as Smoothie. The powerful eddy line is world renowned for amazing down time with perfectly glassy water both upstream and in the eddy itself.

The Ottawa Senators hope to hype fans with pre-season tour Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Ottawa Senators are bringing players and some pre-season excitement to their fans with the second annual Hometown Tour, starting Aug. 18. The tour sees 12 days of free events at Canadian Tire locations in 12 different communities in eastern Ontario and western Quebec featuring two Senators players interacting with fans and signing autographs. The tour came to the Canadian Tire in Arnprior last year, but this year the closest stops are in Renfrew and Carleton Place. Senators defenceman Cody Ceci took part in some of the tour stops last year and will be again this year. “Meeting all the fans was a great time and to see all the support was really cool for us,” said Ceci.

The events aim to get fans to show their Sens pride to win tickets and display their skills with some interactive games. Those include ball hockey matches, mini stick games on mini inflatable rinks, a shot speed and accuracy test and more, said the team’s director of fan and community development, Aaron Robinson. “We have lots of opportunities to interact with the fans,” he said. “(The Hometown Tour) is a chance for us to get out and thank fans and get ready for the season.” Robinson said he expects there to be more prizes available this year, with fans able to sign up to win free tickets to Senators games, as well as ticket giveaways for people who show up in their best Sens gear to show their love for the team. But the main attraction is the players, who will sign autographs at each event. The Senators will reveal which players will be at which tour stop the Monday before the tour. Among the Hometown Tour stops area: Aug. 25 - Renfrew at 1050 O’Brien Rd. from 2 to 5:30 p.m. and Carleton Place at 485 McNeely Ave. from 4 to 7:30 p.m.; Aug. 26 - Perth at 45 Dufferin St. from 4 to 7:30 p.m.; Aug. 27 - Nepean at 1820 Merivale Rd. from 2 to 5:30 p.m. and Kemptville at 311 Ryan’s Well Dr. in the Lambton Mall from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Autographs will be given to those with wrist bands only, with more than 200 available at

said. Ceci said he was amazed by the attendance at last year’s tour stops. “You don’t really realize how many fans there are outside in the smaller communities until you get there and you see a huge line of people,” he said. GETTING READY

Senators players are starting to filter into the city to start training early, said Ceci. “It just shows that everyone is committed to the season and we are all ready to get back at it,” he said. With a good end to last season, Ceci said he and the team hope to keep that energy rolling. Apart from bringing up his own defensive numbers, he said his hopes for this season include getting back in the playoffs. “We were kind of counted out around Christmastime and from there we went on a bit of a tear, so it was really cool for us to win that many games and make it into the playoffs,” he said.

Correction A story in the July 30 ChronicleGuide mistakenly suggested that the Arnprior Karate Club (Villeneuve Real Karate) had relocated from John Street to the Kenwood Centre. The club is actually holding its classes at the Nick Smith Centre. It is Sensei Garth Templeman’s Arnprior School of Karate that is located at the Kenwood Centre, having moved there about a year-and-a-half ago from the Arnprior Curling Club. The Chronicle-Guide apologizes for the error and regrets any confusion it might have caused.

West Carleton pitcher Jessie Autin rifles a strike against a Brantford batter during Bantam provincial championships held at McNab Park Centre on the weekend. Unfortunately for the local boys, Brantford took the win narrowly, 7-5. McNab-Braeside Minor Ball president Adam Rueckwald thanked all of the volunteers who made the weekend possible, and to everyone who came out and supported their local fastball program.

Provincial championship McNab-Braeside’s Hunter Gilchrist, centre, awaits his chance to get on the field during provincial Bantam fastball championships at McNab Centre Park last weekend. North River (near Barrie) won the seventeam tournament with a convincing 7-2 victory over Micksburg in the championship game Sunday. Osgoode took the bronze. Right, Paul Dykens gets a piece of the ball for a foul during Saturday action. His McNab Bantams would lose the game to Belleville 10-0. After Dykens was struck out on the next pitch, Justin Smith would be tagged out at third.

Sunday, July 26 was a magical day for Krys Rousselle at the Madawaska Golf Club in Arnprior. Rousselle attained the golfer’s dream with a holein-one from 175 yards away on the eighth hole. She was playing best ball with Liz Wells. “I crushed my driver,” Rousselle said. Krys watched it go in the hole, but was so nervous, she didn’t want to check, in case it really wasn’t in there, she said. Krys has been a novice golfer for the past couple years and wants to thank her golf teacher, Wayne Thivierge, the pro at the golf course. Photo Submitted

News from Mountain Creek Golf Club Co-captain

The Mulvihill Cup lives on! In 2008, three representatives of Ottawa Valley sister golf clubs, Arnprior Golf Club president Janice Nych, Madawaska’s Women’s captain Denise Rousselle and Mountain Creek women’s captain Cheryl Jackson got together to create the Mulvihill Cup Tournament. The aptly named Cup is sponsored annually by J.P. Mulvihill & Son Insurance Brokers Ltd. of Arnprior who generously provide a very handsome cup for

the annual winners of that eight year-old ladies’ competition. The idea behind the Mulvihill Cup was, foremost, to encourage women’s golf via friendly competition targeted to A, B, C and senior level players. As well, the Cup focused first on the three golf clubs closest to Arnprior to foster a closer sense of community. Other nearby clubs have been approached and are welcome to join in. The Mulvihill Cup is stroke play between three competitors from each level with the lowest aggregate score of any one team determining placement on

the scoreboard. The host club also provides dinner, and the Mulvihill Insurance Company, the wine. Despite a 70 per cent probability of precipitation last year, July 27, 2014 saw the weather hold off thankfully permitting all to finish, albeit somewhat damp. That event was hosted ~ thanks to then Captain Elaine Pritchard and her volunteers - and won for the very first time by Mountain Creek’s team.

This year, Arnprior Golf Club is hosting the Mulvihill Cup on Sept. 12 and A, B, C and senior players are already vying for spots to represent their home golf clubs. We look forward to reporting on the event’s results soon. Long live the Mulvihill Cup and thank you to J.P.

Club professional of Thivierge joins the Madawaska golf team

JAKE/DAVIES/submitted

Madawaska Golf Club pro Wayne Thivierge has 35 years experience competing and teaching the game of golf.

With 35 years of teaching under his belt, Madawaska Golf Club pro Wayne Thivierge has the experience to shave strokes off your game. The Renfrew resident and Ottawa native has joined the Madawaska Golf Club team and is available to help golfers of any level improve their game. The Canadian Golf Teachers Federation certified and former CPGA A Class associate has made the sport his passion and his life. “I love it,” Thivierge said. “I started putting when I was three-years-old.” That early start led to a golf scholarship to the University of Northern Alabama at 18-years-old. From there Thivierge moved on to sharing his knowledge of the swing and the game to others who had also caught the golf bug. Thivierge has taught at the Rivermead, Highlands and Links O’Tay golf clubs to name a few and was the head teaching professional at the 19th Tee Driving Range in Ottawa – the largest range in Eastern Ontario. “The competition is a big deal for me,” he said of his love for the game. “But I do love the teaching and the unique social aspect golf offers.” And speaking of the unique social aspect, Thivierge said the club has given him a warm welcome.

“I really enjoy the membership,” he said. “I’ve really connected with some of the older members because we share a few names and stories.” Thivierge feels the Madawaska Golf Club is the perfect venue for anyone who wants to learn the game of golf, thanks to the two courses at the club – the full-length Twisted Pine course and the Sumac Grove executive course. “It’s a good combo, especially for junior golfers,” he said. “This is a great place to learn the game.” Thivierge has been working with the junior program, guiding them through three intersectional tournaments in July and now working with them every Tuesday for the remainder of the year. Thivierge also has a group of dedicated adult women taking lessons from him. “I like working with the women – they are more attentive,” he said. But Thivierge is eager to work with anyone looking to improve their golf game. “Starting at a junior age is a good idea,” Thivierge said of beginner golfers. “But anybody can learn the game – that’s the beauty of it. You can be three or 93 and become a golfer.” If you would like to book a lesson with Thivierge, call the Madawaska Golf Club at 613-623-3852.

Runaway Angel’s were perhaps the most highly anticipated act playing this year’s Arnprior Fair, but their turnout Saturday may have been hampered by the sweltering heat. Those that did make it out were enthusastic about the band’s high energy performance. Scott Campbell/Metroland

Performers hit right note Jason Blaine had a small turnout to start his show, but many more fans of the Pembroke performer arrived to party the night away last Thursday on the opening evening of the Arnprior Fair.

JUNO award-winning Emerson Drive rocked the crowd Friday night at the fair. They were fed a pumped up crowd by opening act Ambush, a local favourite.

Many of the rawhides sold today have been cleaned with a bleaching agent. Not something I would want to give my beloved pet. If you do decide to treat your pet, always supervise and remove any jagged pieces. Once the bone appears sufficiently warn down, replace with a new one. Always purchase a bone bigger than your dog can handle, so it won’t get stuck in its mouth. I find that the Kong is the best toy to buy. It is hard enough for them to enjoy, flexible so they won’t damage their teeth and can be stuffed with their favorite treat like peanut butter. Kongs come in all shapes and sizes, including a water Kong that floats. Kongs also come in two strengths, regular and tough. Bone appétit!

Local group tackles growing problem of homeless cats The Valley Animal Rescue group is appealing for the public’s help in solving the growing problem of homeless cats in this area. The Upper Ottawa Valley-based volunteer animal rescue organization is attempting to tackle the stray and feral cat problem one colony at a time. It has worked with local members in helping to deal with wild cats colonies in the Douglas, Hyndford and Cobden areas and would like to expand to Renfrew and Arnprior as well. Braeside has had a feral cat problem for some time, as have neighbourhoods in Arnprior such as the Bell Street area. A dozen wild cats living near the Arnprior Villa were rescued last year. However, finding homes for feral cats is a difficult task. In order to carry out their humane work in this area, Valley Animal Rescue needs support from the community. The public can help them in several ways: • donate to Valley Animal Rescue’s stray and feral cat program; • become a caretaker and manage a cat colony; • foster kittens • help trap and transport stray and feral cats to the vet;

• help fundraise to support this necessary program. No one knows how many homeless cats live in local communities and rural areas, but everyone knows it is an ongoing problem without an easy solution, says Valley Animal Rescue in a release explaining the situation. “There are stray and feral colonies everywhere; vacant lots, barns and outbuildings, behind restaurants and local businesses, garbage dumps, and just about anywhere they can find food and shelter.” Valley Animal Rescue points out that homeless cats fit into two main categories; they are either community cats or truly feral cats. Community cats have been family pets at one time and were abandoned by their owners. The feral cats have never lived with people and have never been socialized. “All free roaming homeless cats, whether they are community cats or truly feral, can be a reservoir for disease to flourish and spread,” says the release. “These cats can contribute to flea infestation, the un-neutered males spray very foul-smelling urine with high levels of testosterone to mark their territory and they defecate and urinate in gardens, yards, and even children’s sandboxes.

“These cats also represent a danger to people’s outdoor pets and can be a nuisance with noise and fighting associated with mating.” Worst of all, these poor cats live a short life of suffering and misery,” says Valley Animal Rescue. “They dodge cars daily, eat from garbage cans and dumpsters, face infections and disease without treatment, live with infestations of fleas, worms and other parasites. “We at VAR know better than most the plight of these poor cats and kittens. We have had to turn hundreds away for lack of room and resources. We do all we can with the limited resources we have, and throughout the last year we have been working on stabilizing and maintaining three stray and feral colonies and have just taken on a fourth colony.” Valley Animal Rescue has started a TNR (trap/neuter/release) program on a small scale to start trying to deal with the issue and have sterilized and vaccinated all the cats in two colonies and are working our way through a third. It has expanded the typical TNR program to include vaccinations and treatments for any medical issues present at the time of capture and also de-worm and treat for any parasites such as fleas and ear

mites. It also provides ongoing support with food and supplies. Any kittens that can be caught before they are too old to socialize will go into VAR’s foster program and will have homes found for them. Members of the community who have asked for VAR’s help with these colonies feed and monitor the cats, and to”gether we have been able to greatly improve the lives of many cats and kittens.” Valley Animal Rescue stresses that there are many benefits to the community in addressing this issue head-on and alleviating the suffering of these animals. When stray and feral cats are altered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and released back to their territory, they no longer reproduce. They also no longer spread infection and disease. The colony stabilizes and as the cats ‘age out’, the numbers gradually reduce. The fighting associated with mating and the spraying with urine by males is largely eliminated. The neutered males roam less and are less likely to be injured by vehicles. The sight of injured adults, dying kittens and suffering of all ages is greatly reduced. Valley Animal Rescue is asking

everyone who feels its work with feral cat colonies is a worthwhile endeavor and would like to help solve this “overwhelming problem one colony at a time” to send an email to valleyanimalrescue@hotmail.com.

Still missing The missing dog Sushi has been sighted in the Moore/Poole street area on Aug. 2, but is still at large. However, the Arnprior Humane Society is still confident she will be found. The dog lives in Arnprior but went missing in Braeside July 11. She is extremely frightened, so people are urged not to approach her and report all sightings to Connie at 613-203-5360. “Paws crossed and thank you Arnprior.”

When other friends forsake you, To Mother you will return, For all her loving kindness, She asks nothing in return.

The corn was from McGregor’s Produce and was prepared for cooking by residents the day before. Norma Dewar was the winner of a CD player.

St. Andrew’s United Church celebrates its 175 birthday in style What a night! Generations since 1820 have come together in Pakenham not only for worship but for fellowship and community. They came together again at the Stewart Arena on July 24 to help St. Andrew’s United Church celebrate its 175th anniversary. Guests were delighted to be welcomed at the front door by several generations of the Gillan and Wilson families, all dressed in period costume. In particular, the Gillan family was represented by all generations between Mary (Gillan) Scott, fourth generation, aged 99, and Ella Gardner, eighth generation, aged seven months. A history ‘pop-up’ on Friday night showcased the fascinating early history of the church from 1840, when the first congregation of St. Andrew’s gathered together for worship. Since the very beginning when Rev. Dr. Alexander Mann arrived from Scotland in 1840,

St. Andrew’s has been blessed with dedicated ministers. It was a thrill then on Friday to welcome and catch up with past Ministers, the Reverends Heather Kinkaid and Debbie Roi and their husbands Emerson and John. It was also a great opportunity for people in the area to meet St. Andrew’s new minister, Rev. Jeff de Jonge and his wife Michele. Folks enjoyed dancing and listening to old favourites from the Ryan Brothers and Doug Russell and were even treated to some squares called by Dave Duncan and Jim Blair. The silent auction tables were a big hit. They were chock-a-block full of interesting and unique items. There was a children’s picnic table, gift baskets from Fulton’s and the Pakenham Civitan, high quality cookware, artist’s prints, sportswear, a cast iron fire pit and much, much more. Heartfelt thanks go out to the generous people who donated these great items for the auction.  RHONDA TEES/SUBMITTED Lunch, lovingly made by the church ladies Dave and Hélène Wilson welcome guests to the St. Andrew’s United Church celebration,

while young Skyelyn Stewart helps with the decorating,

since 1975

THE

Free Gate admission

of St. Andrew’s, was served at 10 o’clock so people could keep up their strength for two more hours of visiting and dancing. In the enduring traditions of faith, love and community, area children, moms and dads,

uncles and aunts, friends and neighbours all helped celebrate this very special 175th anniversary.

It’s been said before, but it’s time to say it again; the wealth of material hitting the shelves is overwhelming. The range of topics and authors is staggering and the most challenging part of a visit is deciding what to choose first. Be sure to let staff know of particularly great reads, so they can add it to their own reading lists. A few of the many new items hitting the shelves of the Pakenham library this week include: Gathering Prey by John Sandford – Lucas Davenport, book 25 – fiction; Invasion of Privacy by Christopher Reich – A young mother challenges an internet magnate over her husband’s death – fiction; Circling the Sun by Paula McLain – Colonial Kenya in the 1920’s – fiction; Perfect Touch by Elizabeth Lowell – Romantic suspense with a soldier turned rancher, a designer and art appraiser, and a malicious killer – fiction.

Following the school year, a group of 20 students with special needs took the opportunity to extend their education by applying for jobs offered through the Renfrew County public school board Summer Work Experience Program (SWEP). The program, which ran in July, gave students with special needs a real-world work experience and a pay cheque in a safe and welcoming environment. “The SWEP program aims to provide students who have special needs with valuable work experience and allow them to develop employment skills such as punctuality, leadership, persistence and versatility in authentic work situations,” said program job coach Sarah Ward who is also a special education teacher at Fellowes High School. “The program accomplishes this goal by employing students at a variety of job sites from Arnprior to Deep River.” Sarah Spratt, a special education teacher at Arnprior District High School, was the other job coach who supported students in their job placements. The program is in its third year and students have the opportunity to work in a variety of positions. Students work as assistants in the school board’s Booster Program, which focuses on literacy and numeracy skills for Senior Kin-

Three-year strategy to enhance students’ mental health sionate hearts and resilience.” Through the leadership of the mental health team, the strategy is informed by data collected from district leaders, school administrators, school staff and secondary students using a combination of surveys and focus groups. The RCDSB school priorities were identified through board data showing anxiety, depression and social relationships as the most significant areas to begin addressing the mental health needs of students within the public board. “The strategy recognizes the need to invest in the human capacity within each student and staff as an intrinsic resource to improve the overall culture and environment for supporting a whole system approach to fostering positive student outcomes in mental health, academic achievement and school success.” LaRiviere said.

Recognizing mental health as essential to student success, the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) has embarked on a three-year strategy to help foster a feeling of well-being amongst its student population. The public school board recently published a detailed blueprint providing vision and planning for leading effective school mental health and well-being. The 48-page document entitled ‘Promoting and Supporting Mental Health and Well-Being: A Three-Year Strategy’ has an accompanying action plan created by the school board’s mental health leadership team led by Lisa LaRiviere. “While mental health and well-being has always been an integral part of the RCDSB school culture, the mental health and well-being strategy provides a foundation for developing the organizational conditions, capacity building and focus on evidence based and informed practice,” LaRiviere said. “The RCDSB values mental health and wellbeing as critical to learning, achievement and student success. “The vision is for the mental health and well-being of all individuals in the school community to be promoted and supported through caring relationships and resources that nurture the development of healthy minds, compas-

RCDSB provincial leader in concussion protocol The Renfrew County public school board has re-written the way it deals with student concussions, stressing the importance of partnering with parents to avoid permanent damage. The death of a student rugby player in Ottawa has prompted educators to re-look at response to possible concussion-related injuries.

terest of the child and getting him or her back to full health. The RCDSB has developed a twopage Concussion Guide for Parents as well as some required forms, such as a Tool to Identify a Suspected Concussion, Documentation of Medical Examination form and a Return to Learn/Return to Physical Activity plan. The forms, in the event of a concussion, will ensure the parent and the school are on the same page and working together to ensure the child is on the right road to recovery with the end goal being having the student back in class and back on the field returned to play. Any child with concussion symptoms should be at home resting. Cognitive rest includes limiting activities requiring concentration and attention (e.g., tests, written assignments, reading, texting, television, computer, video/electronic games). Physical rest includes restricting recreational/ leisure activities such as biking, play wrestling and competitive, physical activities. If your child goes back to activities before they are completely better, they are more likely to get worse, and have symptoms longer. Even though it is very hard for an active child to rest, this is the most important step, says the policy.

board’s concussion protocol. “Even though we cannot see a brain injury, if untreated the symptoms can last a long time and have detrimental consequences.” Narbonne says it is of the utmost importance a parent or guardian notifies his or her school if they are aware of their child suffering a concussion outside of school hours. While only a medical doctor or nurse practitioner can diagnose a concussion, RCDSB educators and staff now have a specific protocol they will follow if they suspect a student or fellow staff member has suffered a concussion. If a student or staff member is the victim of a head injury, RCDSB staff will ensure the individual seeks professional medical attention immediately. If the injured person is diagnosed with a concussion, principals, teachers and school staff will make sure the protocol is followed and the injured party will not partake in any ‘play’ until cleared by a medical professional – children who return to play too soon, while the brain is still healing, risk a greater chance of suffering a second concussion. Along with AP-320, the school board has also designed supporting documentation to help parents and schools work together in the best in-

Is it one tomato or two? Doug Stewart of Arnprior was intrigued by the size and appearance of the unique tomato he had grown. For all his garden work in the past, he had never seen one like it. He brought it into the Chronicle-Guide office on Aug. 11. The tomato grew from a brandywine seed that he planted in March. The end result weighed in at one pound and 12 ounces. Stewart plans to eat it, of course.

Plates piled high for every meal at Mary’s table Mary Cook

Mary Cook’s Memories

Father said it was a poor farmer indeed who couldn’t feed his family. Although we never had the treats our cousins had in Ottawa, such as regular trips to the picture shows, or rides on streetcars where the fare for a child was a whole nickel, or storebought fruit, we knew they did enjoy the ample meals we had on the farm during those Depression years. I knew this, because whenever they made the long trip out to Northcote, they never left without the back seat of the car being filled with vegetables, eggs, and usually a couple freshly plucked chickens. And when our visitors came, always for a meal, of course, they ate like it was to be their last meal on earth! Always they had seconds, which in itself wasn’t that odd to us.  I never knew Father or my broth-

ers to leave the table without first loading their plates for another helping. Our big meal was always at noon hour. When Mother came to the farm from New York, one of the first things she learned was what meals were served when. She said she made the mistake of calling the noon meal lunch.  Father was quick to point out the order of mealtime: breakfast in the morning, dinner at noon, supper at night, and a lunch was what we had before we went to bed! No one enjoyed his meals more than Father. Especially dinner. Mother would have cooked all morning, and the table would be laden with enough food, I thought, to feed half of Renfrew County. Soup was never served at noon. It was a supper meal. But on the table, in heaping bowls, always there would

be steaming bowls of mashed and creamed potatoes. Father never considered his noon meal much without his potatoes. A roast of beef or pork would be sliced at the stove, and it would fill the platter. Of course, that meant a jug of gravy too. Poured over the entire plate, and the remnants sopped up with a thick slice of freshly baked bread. This time of year, Mother would have cooked up at least two and sometimes three vegetables right out of the garden. Yellow beans, beets and fresh carrots were always available, and other than coleslaw, we never had tossed salad like Aunt Vanetta made when we visited Lyon Street in Ottawa. Instead, a large dinner plate held freshly picked sliced tomatoes (on which Mother sprinkled sugar when she put them on her own plate), cucumbers and a bowl of radishes swimming in cold water amongst

man who could barely walk. But Father was rail-thin, with energy to burn, and hardly ever sick a day in his life on the farm. He said he owed his good health to hard work and good food. Father wasn’t one to hand out praise lightly. He rarely if ever said to Mother, “that was good,” but often, after tucking away an enormous meal, he would tilt his kitchen chair back on its two hind legs, and with what would pass for a grin, he would say, “you have to wonder what the poor people are eating today.”  And I would think: we are supposed to be poor people ... didn’t I hear it often enough when I wanted something as simple as new hair ribbons? And yet, I would look around that old pine table, and the platters and bowls full of food, all raised from our own hands, and I would think, “yes, indeed, we are richer than most.”

chips of ice from the ice house. Father didn’t consider it a proper meal if he didn’t have at least one big piece of pie, or a wedge of chocolate cake to top off the meal. And all the time, Mother would be constantly refilling Father’s tea cup with steaming green tea. Although supper was considered a lighter meal, it was indeed hearty, often starting off with a big bowl of Mother’s homemade soup, cold sliced roast, fried potatoes, homemade pickles, and always a fruit nappy of homemade preserves. After consuming such enormous meals, it was astonishing to me how Father still had room for what he called ‘a bit of lunch’ before crawling into bed. Always there was the cup or two of green tea, and a sandwich of roast meat left over from the day’s meals. I often would watch Father delve into those enormous meals and wonder why he wasn’t as fat as old Her-

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
