Proudly serving since 1879

Reaction mixed to new OPP costing Under new formula to be phased in, Arnprior to pay less, McNab-Braeside to pay more News – City and town residents will be happy; rural residents not so much. That’s the upshot of a new model for Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) costing announced last week to take effect Jan. 1. The provincial government is touting the new model as fairer, more transparent and easier to understand. However, rural politicians and residents understand one main thing. Their costs for policing are going to rise, and in some cases substantially. Hardest hit in the new formula are rural townships with large numbers of cottages, as the new billing will be based on households, both permanent and seasonal.

About two-thirds of the 324 Ontario municipalities serviced by the OPP will see their costs rise. The blow has been cushioned somewhat as the government has decided to phase in the new model for up to five years “to allow municipalities time to adjust their budgets.� Politicians in towns such as Arnprior argue that their residents have been paying an unfairly disproportionate portion of OPP costing for at least 17 years, so the new model is long overdue. Arnprior Mayor David Reid has been among those on the forefront of pushing for a “fairer� billing model for municipalities the OPP serves across the province. “I think what the province is doing is

right, is heading in the right direction,� Reid said Tuesday in phone interview from the Association of Ontario Municipalities conference. “The only disappointment is the fiveyear phase in. That’s the tough pill to swallow.� He said the changes will save the town hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, but he won’t have exact numbers until September. In a news release, the provincial government says the new model reflects lobbying from the Auditor General and municipalities to more fairly and transparently distribute policing costs.

JARED COWAN

Welcome Senators: Arnprior chosen for NHL first Hometown Tour Sports - The Ottawa Senators are coming to Arnprior today (Thursday). The NHL team announced last Friday that the team’s inaugural Hometown Tour series to promote the team through eastern Ontario and western Quebec will make a stop in Arnprior Aug. 21. Ottawa Senators players Robin Lehner and Jared Cowen will be at the Canadian Tire store in Arnprior from 1:30 to 5 p.m., with an autograph session beginning at 3:30 p.m. Lehner, the young Swede touted as the Senators goalie of the future, is expected to share playing time with Craig Anderson this season. Cowen is a young, hard-rock defenseman being leaned on to anchor the team’s defence for many years. Both are among the NHL’s rising young stars. The pre-season tour was scheduled to begin Tuesday and allows the public to meet Bell Media, CTV, TSN 1200 and RV Canada personalities along with the Senators players. As well as an autograph session, the tour will include interactive games, prizes and more. The Senators will institute a wristband policy in an effort to streamline player autograph sessions at each tour stop. Wristbands, in limited quantity,

will be made available at the Arnprior Canadian Tire store’s customer service desk on the day of the tour stop beginning at 9 a.m. Tickets up for grabs Each tour stop will also feature a chance to win two tickets to the Senators’ Oct. 16 home-opening contest against Colorado. Fans are encouraged to monitor the team’s social platforms for additional opportunities to win prizes on the day of the respective tour stop. A United in Red fan banner will also accompany the Hometown Tour, providing fans with the opportunity to submit messages of support to the team. The banner will later be displayed at Canadian Tire Centre as Senators players arrive for the first day of training camp. Arnprior and Pembroke (also on Aug. 21) are the two tour stops in the Upper Ottawa Valley. Other communities receiving visits from the Senators between Aug. 19 and 28 are Aylmer and Gatineau in Quebec and Barrhaven, Brockville, Cornwall, Hawkesbury, Kingston, Rockland and Smiths Falls. Throughout the tour, CTV News at Six and TSN 1200 will feature live interviews from various locales highlighting the players and fans in attendance.

Staye Court safer for pedestrians, but more to be done: resident John Carter

ed. However, he says he’s talked to the McDonald’s owner who is supportive of the request. The three new lights on Staye Court, expected this month, will likely be delayed for another four to six weeks until Bell changes its wooden poles, said a disappointed Thompson. He has one other concern. When he complained recently about a truck parked on the ‘sidewalk’ on Staye Court Drive, a town official told him as it isn’t really a sidewalk, but rather a paved shoulder, vehicles are allowed to park there.

john.carter@metroland.com

News – The addition of sidewalks and lights and the curbing of an access to Staye Court Drive have made the area safer for pedestrians, says area resident David Thompson. While applauding the town for steps taken to improve safety in the area, he says there is still more to be done, particularly limiting the access into the Tim HortonsWendy’s restaurant. Thompson and his neighbours have been raising traffic concerns about the DanielStaye Court-Frieday area with Arnprior council for six years, making submissions at budget time, presenting a petition, and bringing up their concerns with town councillors and staff. In the last year, the lobbying has paid off with many improvements to the area. An appreciative Thompson points to the new sidewalk along Staye Court Drive, lights promised for the street, the blocking off of an access from the mini-mall to Staye Court and the stop signs installed next to a park on Frieday Street. “Some of the changes have been really great for pedestrians,” he said. However, he is hopeful that with the one Staye Court Drive access on the north blocked off, the first entrance into Tim Hortons can be modified to be an exit only. Hav-

The closing off of one of the accesses to Staye Court Drive from the mini-mall on Daniel Street has helped alleviate congestion somewhat, says resident David Thompson. ing the traffic turning off Daniel and then almost immediately into the restaurant area is less than desirable, he said, suggesting the incoming traffic be limited to the back entrance. “There is only room (on Staye Court) for two vehicles before turning,” he said, adding it’s common to have traffic backed up in the Daniel-Staye Court intersection. However, the town hasn’t been able to strike a deal in that regard with the restau-

rant owners, he noted. “I would hope that the business owners would realize if changes benefit drivers and pedestrians, they would also be a benefit for their business,” he said. Thompson is also hopeful that a stop sign can be installed at the back entrance from McDonald’s onto Staye Court to improve safety for both motorists and pedestrians. The town has been reluctant to act, maintaining it isn’t a town street, Thompson not-

Sidewalks help improve safety Continued from Page 5

Healthy donation for physician recruitment Urban Ford owner Urban Donlevy, centre, and Walter Stack of the dealership present $2,120 to Arnprior and Area Physician Recruitment co-ordinator Laura Tromp to help in the effort to attract doctors to the area. The money was raised in this year’s TestDrive- a-Ford promotion. Donlevy credited Stack with organizing the fundraiser, now in its fourth year. Stack said the beauty of the fundraiser is that it doesn’t ask people for money but for 10 minutes of their time. He thanked RONA for hosting the test drives.

If pedestrians, especially children, are forced out onto the road to go around parked vehicles on the ‘sidewalk’, that could cause safety problems, Thompson said. He said residents are also disappointed the town didn’t change the designation of the area from rural to urban. That means services such as Bell, Enbridge Gas and Hydro won’t be put underground, at least not immediately. It might happen eventually, but it’s probably at least 10 years away, Thompson said. However, for the most part, he said, the town has improved the area and taken steps to tackle the congestion that has worsened with the increased traffic from the new Daniel Street-White Lake Road interchange and the ongoing building of homes in the Campbellbrook and neighbouring subdivisions. “Generally, the residents are very pleased,� he said. “With

Healthcare workers step closer to strike

New OPP costing formula touted as fairer, but rural taxpayers to shoulder more costs Continues from front

Paramed Home staff ‘paid well below poverty line’: union News - A ‘no board’ issued Monday has begun the countdown towards a possible September strike action by Paramed Home Healthcare staff in Renfrew County. About 140 unionized professional and support staff provide home care services throughout the county, including those located at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital. The no board places workers in a position to strike as early as Sept. 2.

Home support workers start at $12.88 per hour – well below the rate of poverty in Canada, they say. In addition they are expected to own their own vehicle to shuttle between appointments. With a significant rise in energy costs this year – including the cost of gas and electricity – the workers say they cannot afford to fall further behind.

to have earned $1.129 million in compensation in 2012. “The Wynne government has recognized the need for recruitment and retention in this sector,” says Warren (Smokey) Thomas, president of the 130,000-member Ontario Public Service Employees Union. “On the one hand they have increased compensation to the PSWs only to see for-profit agencies try to claw back compensation in other forms.” The Champlain CCAC has seen an increase in demand over the past two years, the number of patient served increasing by 11 per cent between 2011-12 and 2013-14. In addition, the number of labour intensive complex referrals has jumped by 48.8 per cent during the same period of time. “It is unlikely the CCAC will be able to replace these workers in the event of a strike,” says Thomas. “That means more patients will unfortunately be staying in the region’s hospitals for much longer and at much greater expense.”

The government explains the model includes two components: base policing costs such as crime prevention, proactive policing, officer training and administrative duties, and cost for reactive calls for service. Base policing will account for about 60 per cent of the bill; reactive calls will account for about 40 per cent. “This eliminates the large differences in the amounts municipalities were charged and provides municipalities with better data so they can understand the types of calls for police service in their community and direct crime prevention strategies,” says the government release. While the new model doesn’t directly tackle rapidly rising police costs fueled by a major salary boost for officers, the government points out that the average per property cost for OPP services in 2015 is estimated to be $355, compared to an average of $787 estimated for self-policed municipalities (the estimated costing of policing in Ottawa is $700 a household). “The new billing model is a positive step toward achieving greater equity and transparency in OPP municipal policing cost-recovery,” said OPP Commissioner Vince Hawkes. “It will address concerns brought forward by the Auditor General of Ontario and many of our municipalities. We are moving in the right direction with this model.” Meanwhile, the Progressive Conservative Opposition is complaining the government announcement leaves out crucial details on how much the new model will actually cost municipalities and which of the four cost-splitting options the province has chosen from alternatives developed by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. The PCs note an auditor-general’s report in 2012 pointed out that OPP spending had risen 27 per cent over five years, even though crime and car crashes in OPP-

patrolled territory had fallen and calls has remained steady. The current OPP billing model was introduced in 1998 and has not been updated in 17 years. McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell could not be reached for comment this week. REGIONAL POLICE FORCE?

However, during discussion of policing costs at the July 15 McNab-Braeside council meeting, she noted that Deep River council had suggested Renfrew county municipalities look into the viability of a regional police force. She said County council was supportive of looking into the matter but there is a question over whether it should take a leading role or whether it should be a grassroots-led effort. No matter what, there will be an urban-rural divide on the issue, she noted. Campbell suggested the matter should be discussed by this area’s Community Policing Advisory Committe (CPAC) Coun. Brad McIlquham, council’s representative on CPAC, said that 14 of the 19 area municipalities are in the same boat as McNab-Braeside in that they will be paying more under the new formula, while the other five will tend to support it as they will save money. “It leaves the rest of us (rural municipalities) to pick up the slack,” he said. Campbell said so far the more urban areas have been dominating the issue with their lobbying of the province for changes. “I would hope we’d have a rural discussion too,” she said.

Outing online critics A

ll right folks, chill out. Yes, the Arnprior Fair midway wasn’t quite up to snuff

this year. But that doesn’t justify the vitriol that seeped out on some social media sites during and after the fair. It’s not as if the Arnprior Fair organizers dropped the ball when it came to the midway. Several area fairs were in the same boat when Billy G Amusements suddenly decided not to show up because of they couldn’t find cheap workers to staff the rides. Fair president Jeff Desarmia spent many hours on the phone and managed to salvage at least a semi-decent midway, thanks to Crown Amusements and donations of inflatables. Unfortunately, the bulk of Crown Amusements rides were already committed to other fairs. So there wasn’t a great deal left, especially for teenaged thrillseekers. But that doesn’t mean people should take cheap shots online against the fair. Reasoned comment and constructive criticism should be welcomed. But insults and personal attacks against

a group of hard-working, well-meaning volunteers is mean-spirited, and when done anonymously, cowardly. As Desarmia says, if you think the fair is lacking, step up, join the volunteer board and turn your ideas into reality. The fair has been organized for the past several years by a small core of dedicated volunteers, who are slowly getting the fair back on the right track. They deserve praise and support and assistance in their efforts, not nit-picking, carping and venom. It’s just one more example of some people hiding behind to the anonymity of the Internet to take shots and inflict their warped sense of humour on others. In the last few days we’ve seen the same sorted of twisted commentary in response to comedian Robin Williams’ death and the break-in at federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s home. This newspaper doesn’t run anonymous letters to the editor because we feel strongly that people should stand openly and publicly behind their opinions. Concrete steps can and need to be taken to stop people commenting on social media from hiding behind a cloak of anonymity.

Day of Peace to host 30 events on Sept. 21

Theresa Dunn Canadian Peace Initiative, Arnprior

We love letters

Most provinces have already abolished the practice of Pound Seizure so abandoned pets are not sold for animal research. As a rescue, our priority truly is the welfare of the animal and we can and do provide a far better life for abandoned animals than a research facility. Also, as a registered charity that is accountable to the CRA and the public, we keep accurate and permanent records, provide a high level of medical care, screen foster and adoptive homes, and we ensure all animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. When pounds adopt out to anyone willing to provide a name and address, there is no such guarantee that any of this will be done; in fact there is no guarantee that the animal will not be sold as soon as the new owner passes through the pound door. There is no guarantee the animal’s medical needs will be addressed, or that it will be spayed or neutered, it is not traceable after leaving the pound. For these reasons we would like to see animals released to rescue organizations. For now, if you want to see change, you must speak up. Contact John Yakabuski, MPP, and tell him this issue is important to you. Valerie Hutchinson, president Valley Animal Rescue

Sept. 21 (the International Day of Peace) marks the beginning of the eighth Ottawa Peace Festival that goes on for 10 days and includes more than 30 events, from discussing ‘Cities of Compassion’ to how can we change the use of violent solutions currently being used in international conflicts destroying families and homes. A full list of events can be found at http://ottawapeacefestival.blogspot.com. It may not be a clear connection, but by participating in the content and messages of these events, you hopefully will take a moment or more to reflect on how we will choose our leaders over the next year. We can make a change for peace in each breath and in each choice we make, including who we pick as our political leaders and how we treat our leaders. It makes no difference what party we support. It is how politics are conducted, not what particular badge is worn that is important. This October is the selection of our municipal leaders and next year there will be a federal election. On a local level, we can review our candidates for who can lead us to be a compassionate community. There is a global movement by municipalities to become Compassionate Cities (Towns) where strong, wise, respectful manners and communication highlight the way challenges are faced. This movement encourages councillors to model how they resolve conflict and honour the dignity of their opponents. The division of resources are reviewed for who has been given privilege and who is left out. Time is set aside each year so that citizens can come together to provide real help to struggling social services or support any of the town’s needs. Corporate and business choices will be measured by how these affect the well-being of people and our ability to live in the natural world. The challenge is not so much finding leaders with these values and characteristics. The challenge is we can only choose these qualities in our leaders to the degree we have developed them in ourselves. We, the public, cannot expect anything of our leaders that we do not expect of ourselves. There is little said in the media or election about our responsibilities as citizens of a democratic process. As

those who would live peace, we need to protect the dignity of those who have offered to serve us by taking responsibility for those we have selected or who we have passively allowed others to select. We would speak the truth with compassion in relation to those people who take on the herculean task of trying to find good solutions for as many Canadians as possible. We would refuse to accuse without evidence, to slander and attack. Rather, we would look to test decisions for their merits and limitations, and protest mistakes responsibly, expecting accountability and wise alternatives. Peace is not the absence of war and conflict no longer occurs in isolated locations. We are all affected and vulnerable. Peace is living our strengths for the benefit of ourselves, others and the world we live in. I ask you to participate. Read up on a culture of peace and the Compassionate City campaign; come out to discussion nights; call upon us, the Arnprior and Area Chapter of the Canadian Peace Initiative, to facilitate respectful discussion on contentious topics. For more information, please contact me at 613-8975055.

To the Editor Valley Animal Rescue would like everyone to know that while we cannot, at this time, work with the Renfrew pound, we will continue to rescue abandoned animals from SPCAs, owner surrenders, local pounds that support privacy agreements and other organizations such as those fighting to stop the horror of puppy mills in Quebec. We believe that as collectors of people’s personal information we have a duty and a responsibility to ensure the security of that information; especially in today’s climate of privacy concerns. When we requested an agreement with the Town of Renfrew last year, to protect the privacy of the information we collected, and the assurance that it would only be shared with those legally required to have access, we were turned down. We will again offer to work with the Town to try and develop a process that will allow for this necessary security and still satisfy the requirements of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The best way to move forward, and improve the outcome for our abandoned animals, is to work towards making changes in the Animals for Research Act, the Pound Act and the practice of Pound Seizure.

a relatively easy decision to run for Renfrew reeve. After it became known the Emon family would be moving to Renfrew, and that he would not seek re-election as mayor of Greater Madawaska, he says a fair number of people approached him to consider running for Renfrew council in some capacity. “It wasn’t a difficult decision,” he said. “I’m also a fairly known new face,” added the graduate of Renfrew Collegiate Institute who has lived almost all of his life within 30 kilometres of the town. Asked what he would bring to Renfrew council, he replied, “I’m bringing lots of experience, lots of contacts. “Whatever my faults are, I generate a lot of ideas and I generate a lot of discussion because of my ideas. And that’s what I’ll be bringing to the table.” Having a local reeve who could also be the county warden also has its benefits, said Emon, “whether it’s name recognition or contacts or the ability to reach out to contacts at other levels of government. “There’s exposure from the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus, the Western Ontario Wardens Caucus and AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario), so the warden brings a fair bit of information back to his host community.” EADY RUNS IN RENFREW

Just over a month after announcing he wouldn’t seek re-election as mayor of Horton, Eady has become the fourth candidate seeking the mayor’s job in Renfrew. On July 8, Eady told Horton council that he needed a new lease on life and indicated that he had a couple of opportunities. He was not specific at the time. After 14 years in municipal politics, the 68-year-old provided a prepared statement that began: “After much deliberation and conversations with my family, I have decided to run in the fall election for the position of mayor of Renfrew. “The Town of Renfrew has been a very important part of my life. I have worked and owned property in the Town of Renfrew for over 45 years. “I own a house in Renfrew and I looking forward to once again living in the Town of Renfrew,” continued the statement from the former Renfrew downtown business owner. “I am looking forward to a new challenge. Eady joins Callum Scott and current councillors Tom Anderson and Jim Miller in the race for mayor, with at least two other candidates also considering a run for the mayor’s chair.


Good tidings from the true north Lifestyle - I am just back from a fantastic two weeks in a remote part of Ontario. I was conducting bird surveys at Longridge on the west coast of James Bay. There were 10 people in our camp, which was a Cree spring goose-hunt camp; two other crews were situated at camps farther south. Our camp was apparently the most luxurious for its refurbished cabins didn’t leak during rainstorms, and fresh water was available in a creek a mere half-kilometre from camp. James Bay is salt water and thus its shores support an array of halophytic (salt-tolerant) plants. Its salt-grass marshes were alive with Le Conte’s and Nelson’s sparrows, and Sandhill Cranes were always vocally present. American White Pelicans flew by on several occasions. My most memorable sighting was three Black Guillemots sitting on a rock in James Bay. These small black and white ocean birds were the first that I had encountered in Ontario. Because it joins Hudson Bay, which connects with the Arctic Ocean, James Bay experiences remarkable tides. At low tide in August, endless mudflats offer migrating shorebirds important food as they fatten up for their long journey south. Each day we split into small groups with each walking about 20 kilometres to survey shorebirds at one of three different points jut-

MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way ting out into James Bay. While we tallied all shorebird species, one was of particular interest. Red Knot populations have precariously declined in recent years so special attention was paid to that species. Of the approximately 20,000 knots left in the world, about six per cent bear numbered, coloured flags on their legs. The flags reveal when and where the birds were caught and banded; knots have been banded in Canada, U.S.A. and South America. SHARING CAMP

During my stay a few mammals were encountered. A family of Striped Skunks, two Groundhogs, a Red Squirrel, and an Ermine shared our camp. One morning I encountered a huge buck Woodland Caribou near camp. Another day eight Belugas swam past Longridge Point and numerous Black Bears were encountered along the beach ridges feeding on berries. One morning a young bear wandered into the cabin I shared with Ron Ridout (of Bird

Fortunately the bear (and Don) exited before any real damage was done. Red Knots were seen daily, but the highlight came during one the final days when northeast winds blew strong. We were working our way to Bear Point when a flock of 1,100 knots – five per cent of the world’s population – landed on the mudflats. More than a thousand White-rumped Sandpipers and large flocks of Hudsonian Godwits, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Black-bellied Plovers and other species were also present. The air and mudflats were alive with birds! The landscape was stunning, the flora and fauna invigorating, and my companions wonderful. I left James Bay with innumerable memories and a much deeper appreciation for, and understanding of, the complexity of this remarkable province.

Fiddler Meagan Ziebart has plenty of paddling company, with her mother Nancy, Bonnechere River Watershed Project chair Kathy Lindsay and McNabBraeside recreation director Geoff Patterson, during the final leg of the Celebrate Our Rivers series. BRWP SUBMITTED

R0012851769

Celebrate Our Rivers series concludes on Madawaska News – Nearly 50 paddlers from across Renfrew County and beyond used canoes, kayaks or paddle boards to explore a beautiful section of the Madawaska River Aug. 9. The two-and-a-half-hour paddle was led by Kathy Lindsay, chair of the Bonnechere River Watershed Project, and Geoff Patterson, recreation director at Township of McNab- Braeside. The paddle ran from Cherry Point Park near Calabogie to the Burnstown Beach. Paddlers were shuttled to the put-in and Larry Graham of the Ottawa River Canoe Brigade provided unique seat rental opportunities in six-person Explorer canoes for those without their boats. Paddlers had numerous opportunities to take in the flora and fauna along the river, as well as the picturesque village of Springtown, other paddlers, boaters, swimmers and those on the shoreline of the Madawaska.

Everyone on and along the water had the unique experience of hearing live traditional Ottawa Valley fiddle music provided by local fiddler Meagan Ziebart, as she was paddled downriver in a canoe. After the excursion, paddlers enjoyed a barbecue at Neat coffee shop in Burnstown. That was followed by a performance in the Neat Schoolhouse by local family fiddlers and step dancers, The Fiddleheads. The event concluded a successful 2014 Celebrate Our Rivers series of five paddles on the Bonnechere, Snake or Madawaska that was organized by the Bonnechere River Watershed Project. The series was made possible by financial support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and in partnership with the Ottawa River Institute, the Bonnechere Caves, Neat, Town of Renfrew and the townships of Bonnechere Valley, North Algona Wilberforce, Horton and McNab-Braeside.

A big thank you goes out to all paddlers who participated in the annual Celebrate our River Series event on the Madawaska River on August 9th.

Connected to your community

Fish marker reminds people not to dump chemicals in the storm drains into the design. We explained that the fish was meant to be a reminder that only rain should go down storm drains. This marking is there to let people know that it would be harmful to our area’s fish populations to pour any unwanted liquid substance (used motor oil, soapsuds from washing your car, leftover cleaning fluid, etc.) down one of these drains.

Nancy Illman with Lary Freeman of L’Arche Arnprior

After we bid adieu to this couple, we realized that, if they did not know this, likely many of you would not, either. So we decided that we should write a short article for the local paper to remind us all about proper methods of disposal of household wastes. Storm sewers do not empty into our town’s water treatment plant but flow directly into a body of water. Plants and animals living there are adversely affected by any substance other than water that finds its way into their environment. Back when I was teaching in British Columbia, there was a program which involved all the Grade 5 schoolchildren. They would go out into their catchment area and paint yellow fish on the pavement next to each storm sewer drain. Included is a photo of one of those fish. Although the newer storm drains in Arnprior have a fish marking stamped right onto them, there are many storm drains in our fair town which bear no such marking. There is still a volunteer organization, Yellow Fish Road, which helps groups of interested individuals that wish to

paint these fish on the roads in their communities. Information about this program can be found at http://www.yellowfishroad.org/index. asp?p=2037. Nancy Illman Arnprior R0012844621

To the Editor: One fine Saturday afternoon earlier this summer, Lary Freeman and I were out for a stroll in the neighbourhood, enjoying the fine weather, lush gardens and each other’s company. We came across a couple who were looking rather puzzled. They had come upon a storm sewer cover, and wondered why it had a fish stamped

Off-duty Renfrew County Paramedic to the rescue Staff

News – An off-duty Paramedic from Renfrew County helped rescue a teenaged driver from a car that had crashed into the Tay River near Last Duel Park last Friday. Lanark OPP report that at about 10:50 a.m. a car travelling on Riverside Road in the Perth

area left the roadway and entered the river. The paramedic, a Drummond/North Elmsley Tay Valley firefighter and two members of the public assisted in removing the 17-year-old female driver from the vehicle, which was submerged in the water. The young driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

abandoned on Mill Lane near Russell Street N in Arnprior Aug. 11. It was originally stolen on Aug. 9 when a thief broke into the owner’s home and stole the keys to the vehicle. Officers are continuing to investigate. The OPP report that thefts of items from unlocked vehicles continue in the area during the overnight hours. Stolen property includes IPhones, wallets, a camera and a GPS unit.

Police urge vehicle owners to remove valuables from the vehicles and lock them when not in use. Valuables in plain view inside an unlocked vehicle are exactly what thieves are looking for, they say. “Don’t be a victim, lock it or lose it.” The Renfrew OPP detachment, which includes Arnprior, responded to 123 calls for service, including four domestic disputes, Aug. 13-16.

Smart school tips for cool teens Teenaged girls - and, increasingly, boys - are intensely conscious of their appearance. They want to wear different clothes every day, and expensive labels are usually preferred. But parents’ wallets have their limits, and teenagers’ even more so. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your dollars and pick up some sensible spending habits. 1. Exchange clothes. At the beginning of a new school year, young people are sometimes fed up with clothes that are neither worn out nor outdated. This is when parents can suggest exchanging clothes with friends, on the principle that what is old for them is new for others. 2. Watch out for sales. It is useful to teach young people to

watch out for sales. Taking advantage of substantial discounts at the end of a season will let them buy items at lower prices. 3. Visit thrift stores. Help teens discover the fun and good sense of these shops, where original, quality clothing can be found for almost nothing. 4. Choose sustainable ‘essentials’. Help children understand that it is better to pay a little more for some timeless items rather than having to replace them year after year. This is as much a financial consideration as an environmental one. 5. Beware of expensive labels. Allow teens to include a few flashy labels in their wardrobe, but no more than that. Help them understand that the people they are - what they say and what they do - is much more important than what they wear.

‘Make food, nutrition courses mandatory’ tors who specialize in treating childhood obesity have found an alarming number of preschoolers are overweight or obese. Some even have difficulty moving and develop sleep-disordered breathing and sleep apnea. As the OHEA says: “Ontario grads can be part of the solution to reduce the strain on health care by reducing risks of obesity, Type II diabetes and high blood pressure. They could save more of their hard-earned income by spending less on food and benefit from family time around the dinner table.� In 2013, the Ontario Ministry of Education released 20 new and revised Family Studies courses, several of which are related to food and nutrition. The OHEA’s Care2 petition calls for these courses to be prioritized and to make healthy eating and food literacy a focus for all students.

News - The Ontario Home Economics Association (OHEA) is calling on the provincial government to make at least one food and nutrition course a requirement for students to graduate. The Care2 petition to the Premier and the ministers of education and health and long-term care has over 1,000 signatures. The OHEA wants to ensure all students receive food education to help them make informed decisions about what they eat. One in three Canadian children and youth are overweight or obese, a threefold increase in the past 30 years, according to recently published research in the journal BMC Pediatrics. Hospitals that treat severe childhood obesity, such as the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, report long waiting lists for children hoping to enter their programs. Doc-

News - In its second year, the expanded Summer Work Experience program is proving popular with both those enrolled and the Renfrew County public school board staff they are assisting. Last year the pilot program had nine public school board special need students job shadow staff throughout July. The program provided the students with real-world work experience and a pay cheque in a safe, warm and welcoming environment. This summer there are more students enrolled and more varied job opportunities for which to participate. The unique program has 23 students enrolled this summer, working at Arnprior District High School, RCI, the board office and five other schools in the county. The summer staffers are working in the custodial department, the director’s office, the communications department, the finance department, human resources and even the summer Booster program. The students spent two to three days a week job shadowing and assisting in the function of school board staffers’ regular duties in July. “The RCDSB Summer Work Experience Program was an opportunity to empower teenagers and young adults with special needs to gain meaningful employment and contribute to their communities,� said school board secondary special education consultant and program coach Angela McGregorStewart. “It is our hope this program has also raised community awareness and improved attitudes towards providing opportunities for employment and interaction with individuals with special needs.� ADHS special education teacher and summer work experience job coach Sarah Spratt said it wasn’t just

More than 80 Highland dancers to perform in Arnprior Sunday Events - The Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dancing Competition will draw more than 80 dancers to Arnprior this Sunday, Aug. 24. The Arnprior Highland Dancing Association presents 14th annual Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dancing Competition at Robert Simpson Park. More than 80 dancers are expected to participate, coming from as far as Toronto, Ottawa and Quebec areas. The competition will be held at the scenic park where the Ottawa and Madawaska rivers meet. A stage will be set up next to the bandstand. “It’s the best location in the Ottawa Valley,” says 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 on Nov. 2, 1998. The competition starts at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 3 or 4 p.m. “Everyone is invited down to the park for a wonderful

day of dancing and listening to bagpipes,” says Stewart. An enthusiastic crowd will bring out the best performance from the dancers, she noted. “Bring a lawn chair and sun screen. Admission is free but a donation to Caitlin’s scholarship would be appreciated. There will be an onsite canteen, complete with hamburgers from M&M Meats,” she adds. Stewart encourages members of the public to drop in and check out the dancing and the music. The dancers will be colourfully dressed in their kilts and national costumes, she explains. The dancers will be accompanied by accomplished bagpipers. 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 (that) will have their own interpretation of the dance. The lassies have lots of fun and the crowd likes to start clapping with the dancers,” says Stewart.

The competition could not be held without the community sponsorship. Ontario Hydro is a long-time supporter. Stewart expresses heartfelt thanks for all the community supporters. “We also have a

wonderful group of volunteers,” she says. “These volunteers ensure the competition continues to run successfully every year. Many parents and former Highland dancers keep com-

ing back to keep this wonderful competition running in Caitlin’s name. 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.”

Pepsi Next - less sugar but water healthier Ian Harris

Opinion – Pepsi’s latest soft drink is being marketed as having 30 per cent less sugar than the leading cola drinks. However, according to Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, medical director of the Bariatric Medical Institute, “the change in formula doesn’t go far enough. This is just a slightly less bad version of a terrifically bad product.” In an attempt to prop up their flagship sodas, companies are trying to find a middle ground, designing drinks with less sugar to appeal to consumers who are wary of sweeteners. In Canada a can of Pepsi Next has 26 grams of sugar or about six and a half teaspoons, which is less than the more than 10 teaspoons in a can of regular Pepsi. However, the World Health Organization recently recommended less than five per cent of daily caloric intake should come from sugar. That five per cent is about six teaspoons, or approximately what is in that can of Pepsi Next. Pepsi Next is making claims of reducing the sugar hit in their drinks by using Stevia, which is a plant grown in Paraguay and Brazil, rated as being 200-500 times sweeter than processed sugar. The FDA has given Stevia a GRAS (gener-

Weight management, wellness and nutrition ally recognized as safe) rating. I don’t know about you, but I’m not comfortable ingesting anything that is generally recognized as safe. The anatomy of a soft drink: Sugar, being one of the main ingredients, has been linked to obesity. Sugar also shuts down our immune system for up to six hours allowing the proliferation of illness and disease like cancer. In addition to sugar, commercial grade caramel, caffeine and phosphates found in colas have been scientifically regarded as a health concern. Commercial caramel is produced with ammonia or ammonia and sulphites causing 4-methylimidazole to form and has been linked to cancer. So why is commercial caramel different from homemade caramel? At home, caramel is formed when sugar is heated until it melts and darkens. Drinks like Pepsi, Cocoa Cola and Dr. Pepper are not the only foods containing caramel coloring. Iced teas, root beers, gravies, beers, chocolate candies and bread also contains caramel coloring.

Caffeine can contribute to physical and psychological symptoms like anxiety, headaches and restlessness. Additional side effects include trouble sleeping if you consume it shortly before bedtime. Caffeine works as a diuretic, meaning it makes you urinate more often than you ordinarily would if you weren’t consuming it. Over time, this excessive urination can lead to dehydration. Phosphoric acid (phosphates) is a clear, colorless, odourless liquid with a syrupy consistency. Phosphoric acid is used as an acidifying agent to give colas their tangy flavour. Food-grade phosphoric acid is a mass-produced chemical, available cheaply and in large quantities and is commonly used for rust removal. Soft drink consumption may be a major factor for osteoporosis as they are high in phosphates but contain virtually no calcium. This leads to lower calcium levels and higher phosphate levels in the blood. This situation ultimately leads to poor bone mineralization, which explains the greater risk of broken bones in children who consume soft drinks. My recommendation would be to stay away from soft drinks altogether. Although clear soft drinks like 7-Up, Sprite and Ginger Ale do not contain caramel or phos-

phorus, they still contain copious amounts of sugar. As for diet sodas, Aspartame sold under the names Equal and NutraSweet has been linked to cancer and Sucralose sold under the name Splenda may promote weight gain and has been linked to gastro intestinal problems such as cramping, bloating and diarrhea, Saccharin has been banned since the ‘70s after studies linked the artificial sweetener to cancer and finally Cyclamate sold as sodium cyclamate and calcium cyclamate were banned after numerous studies linked the artificial sweetener to cancer. Xylitol is another artificial sweetener found in candy, gum, cookies, cakes, etc., which, according to the FDA, can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia), seizures and liver failure in dogs, which may lead to death. Signs that a dog may have consumed Xylitol can occur within minutes or days of ingesting the sweetener, and include depression, loss of co-ordination and vomiting. For a safe and healthy way to quench your thirst, try adding a lemon, lime and/or orange slice to a tall glass of filtered water.

Come sing with the ACC Arts - Arnprior is an active and busy town full of exciting community groups. If you like to sing, think about joining the Arnprior Community Choir. This adult group sings in four-part harmony – soprano, alto, tenor, bass - both men and women are always welcome. Music director Lisa Webber has an exciting year planned and it all starts on Tuesday evening, Sept. 9. The choir rehearses once a week, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Galilee Retreat Centre. The Arnprior Community Choir has been in existence for more than 20 years and has provided the area with a wide variety of musical entertainment. The group is well established in the local community, per-

forming two major concerts per year, as well as providing music at local nursing homes, service clubs and fundraising events for various volunteer organizations. The choir enjoys a variety of music – folk songs, Broadway, popular and classical. Members come from both the local and surrounding areas - Almonte, Renfrew, Calabogie, Manotick and West Carleton. Individual musical experience varies and members are encouraged to have fun, keep regular attendance and commit to the season. This fall the choir will be working towards their annual Christmas concert, ‘Sing Noel’, to be held on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 7. The concert will feature the talented

choir and once again provide the community with a much anticipated start to the holiday season. The Arnprior Community Choir loves making music together and feels a true sense of accomplishment in presenting each concert. The initial rehearsal for ACC is Tuesday, Sept. 9. Come out to the first practice, 7:30 p.m., at the Galilee Centre. Potential members can try out the choir on Sept. 9 and 16, af-

Championship banners for Juvenile Packers Sports - It was with great pride that the Arnprior Juvenile Packers hockey team received both the regular season championship banner and the playoff championship banner for 2013-14 from the LanarkCarleton Minor Hockey League president Glenn Austin. Austin said last spring’s championship Juvenile series between Arnprior and the Osgoode Rideau Senators was some of the best hockey he has ever seen. Juvenile hockey represents the pure skills of the game with fast skating and marvellous stick-handling, he noted. Arnprior Juvenile Packers trainer and manager Doug Heeney said the success of this past season will be hard to beat, but the local team has a number of carryover players and there will be no Arnprior major midget rep team this year. As a result, “we have an excellent group of younger players ready to try out for the Juvenile team,” he said. “Arnprior is a great hockey community and we thank all of our supporters as we look forward to a new season. “Watch our Facebook page for more information.”

Arnprior karate coaches receive expert instruction Sports - Arnprior School of Karate instructor, Sensei Garth Templeman, attended a Japan Karate Association (JKAP) Canadian instructor’s seminar Aug. 7 to 10. “The camp was actually for karateka of all levels nationally, and was split into three training streams,” he explained. “I was with a group of over 60 instructors from across Canada and we had the privilege to be trained by Sensei Seizo Izumiya, flown in from Japan, who usually helps train new instructors at the head dojo (training location) in Tokyo. We were taught numerous high-level technical insights needed to master the fundamental movements of traditional Shotokan karate. “There was also a power seminar geared to those focusing on competing at national and in-

ternational levels, and a regular seminar for all other training,” he added. Sempeis France Guillemette and Marie-Hélène Crawford were also participants. “It’s great to have us go to the different seminars and compare notes afterwards,” said Guillemette. “Besides Sensei Izumiya, we also had Senseis Minoru Saeki and Eddie Leung teaching, the co-coaches of the Canadian national team. “We also had Sensei Brad Jones and Dick Powell, lifetime Shotokan practitioners and instructors. Everywhere you turned there was another incredible instructor.” Thanks to the association with the JKA and CJKF organizations, the Arnprior School of Karate has gone from being one of a handful of martial arts schools in Arnprior to having na-

tional and international exposure. Sensei Saeki teaches in Arnprior a couple of times a year, and Ottawa senior students frequently visit as guest instructors. “Sempei France and I will be in Tokyo later this year to support the Canadian team competing at the Shoto World Cup,” said Templeman. “It’s held every four years and we’ve gotten to know all of the competitors and coaches over the years, so we’re looking forward to showing

our support. “Maybe in a few years we’ll have an Arnprior student there – we have them competing provincially and nationally now, so that’s the next step.” The Arnprior School of Karate trains students out of the Kenwood Athletic Club, having moved from the curling club in January.

Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority.

Community - Cheryl Grenier and Jehse, a seven-year-old golden doodle, make regular visits to the Grove Nursing Home as part of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program. Seeing the smiles on the faces of residents and day program participants is just wonderful, said Grenier, who was doing the visits even before becoming a part of the program. Residents and staff at the Grove appreci-

ate the visits. “The pet therapy program is wonderful for the residents,” said nursing home official Angela Bertrand. “It provides them with unconditional acceptance and affection. Many of them look forward to the weekly visits and have come to know the dogs by name. There are many benefits associated with pet therapy. The visits provide an opportunity for nurturing, combat loneliness and anxiety and promote positive well-being, said Bertrand. The program also increases social interaction as residents talk with the dog and handler, as well as peers who are also engaged

with the dog. There are intellectual benefits to the program, as well. The program provides residents with an opportunity to utilize long-term recall while reminiscing about pets they may have had in the past,” said Bertrand. “It increases mental stimulation.” The visits also help increase mobility when residents pet the dog and throw the ball to play catch. “Studies have shown that pet therapy can have various health benefits and even de- Carl Tyers, a visitor to the Grove, says hello to crease the sensation of pain,” said Bertrand.

St. John promotes therapy dog program Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - St. John Ambulance is known for providing medical care for the public, but that care now includes its Therapy Dog program. “Basically, it’s nothing more complicated or fancy than the handler or owner of a dog taking the dog to a retirement residence or nursing home or, in some cases, a hospital, and providing some contact with the residents ‌ just for the calming influence of an animal and a non-judgmental creature,â€? explained regional Therapy Dog program mentor Grant JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

News – The dog therapy program launched by St. John Ambulance in Renfrew County is music to Bill Drummond’s ears. After a dozen years’ absence from the local pet advocacy scene, the founder of the once-active Adopt-A-Pet and therapy dog programs in the Renfrew area is back promoting the value of pets in comforting and treating people with mental health issues. The St. John Ambulance in Renfrew County has started the service with about 30 volunteers. Drummond knows first-hand the healing power of pets. His dogs have always been a comfort to him as he dealt with health issues. His current dog, Spinner, helped “save my life,� he says. During a recent visit to see Buddy, the last living therapy dog from his former program, Drummond talked about the benefits of the program with a couple of residents who have acquired therapy dogs and Val Hutchinson and Julie Bilson of Valley Animal Rescue, a supporter of the program. Valley Animal Rescue is always on the lookout for potential therapy dogs, noted Hutchison. The Valley-based animal rescue organization already operates a senior and palliative care animals program and one of its main mandates is to educate the public on timely animal topics (for more visit the Valley Animal Rescue Facebook page). Drummond noted that the therapy dog pro-

gram linked with Adopt-A-Pet in the late 1990s was low profile because of the stigma attached to mental health issues at that time. Despite the lack of official sanction, at least 200 therapy pets were provided to people in the Renfrew area who had disabilities or mental health problems and might not otherwise have been able to afford a pet. Many worked wonders with their owners, especially those who lived alone, encouraging them to integrate back into society. “It’s given me my independence back,� says one local woman who once rarely left her home after being hit by a car. “Since I got Keiko, I have the confidence to go out again.� “He (dog) gives me a sense of serenity,� said another woman who was provided with a therapy dog. “He also makes me feel safe.� The stigma surrounding mental health illness has eased a bit in the last 15 years thanks to some high profile efforts to publicize and deal with suicide and other related problems. However, mental health problems are still a major challenge in the Upper Ottawa Valley. There is a waiting list for up to six months for Community Mental Health services, so the professionals could use all they help they can get, said Drummond. “I think mental health is at a crisis point in Renfrew County and across Canada.� He is urging the many community groups that use to assist Adopt-A-Pet to support the pet therapy effort.

Pickling and preserving time a busy time for Mary and family MARY COOK

Memories jams, jellies and preserves. The crops were so ample that Mother even had enough to peddle in Renfrew on Saturdays with her eggs, homemade butter, chickens and sticky buns. Yes, the summer had been good to us. My sister Audrey, much older than I was, helped Mother, but I was considered too young to do much more than hull berries, or pick beans out of the garden. As long as I was in on the action, that was enough to satisfy me, however, and I was grateful to at least have a hand in what was going on for days in the summer kitchen. “Putting down� was always like a miracle to me. Especially when it came to the yellow beans that

245 DANIEL ST S, ARNPRIOR

There never seemed to be enough money for frivolous spending on such luxuries as new hair ribbons when the ones I had could be washed and ironed, or long white stockings when last year’s beige ones were perfectly ďŹ ne, but we always had ample food to put on the table. Father believed it was a poor farmer indeed, who in spite of the Depression, couldn’t feed his family. We were indeed poor in the true sense of the word, but our bellies were full, there was enough wood to keep the Findlay Oval humming through the winter, the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina kept clothes on our backs, our entertainment was self-made, and good neighbours were always there to lend a helping hand. And when I saw that swinging shelf in the dug-out laden with winter stores, I knew for a fact we were very rich indeed! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

on the next farm, who taught Mother everything she knew about putting down preserves and vegetables for the winter. The pot of spices simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval would be for the pickled beets. The day before, they had been boiled, cooled, skinned, and were ready for slicing. And then they would join the long line of pickles on the swinging shelf in the dugout. Pickling and preserving went on for weeks. As crops ripened, they were turned into crisp pickles, preserves, jellies and jams with the sole purpose of seeing us through the long cold winters that were commonplace in Renfrew County, often cutting us off from going even as far as Briscoe’s General Store a few miles away. But we needn’t worry about ever wanting for something to put on the supper table. By the time the Fall weather started, the smoke house would be full of meat, the shelves in the dugout heavy with sealers, and soon the sauerkraut barrel would be in a corner of the summer kitchen alongside the salt pork.

grew in great abundance in our garden. When I was sent out to bring in another dish-pan full of yellow beans, I managed to eat almost as many as I picked. Mother trusted me to pick only those that were ready for ‘putting down’, and to leave the smaller ones, which would grow into a good length before you knew it! I would put the dish-pan of beans on the bake table, and take a tin pail and go to the pump in the yard and bring in fresh water and pour it into the pan. It was my job then to wash each bean ... not a handful at a time, but one bean after another! Then they were laid out on a clean tea towel, and patted dry. Mother fed them into big sealers, poured on boiling brine, put lids on tightly, and turned the jars upside down, and there they sat for two days ... not one day, not three days, but two days. Mother said the timing was important, according to Aunt Bertha Thom

Lifestyle - The air was heavy in the summer kitchen. Spices, boiling sugar and sealers in a pot of hot water ďŹ lled the small space with a sweet steam, covering the two little windows and causing Mother to take a swipe at her face with her big white apron whenever she had a free hand. It was pickling and preserving time on the farm in Renfrew County. The swinging shelf, in the dugout that served as our cellar, was just about bare, and what Mother was ‘putting down’ would see us through the winter at least, and hopefully until the next crop of produce was ready for picking. The summer had been good to our garden. Soft rainy days, hot sun and cool evenings guaranteed a goodly crop of vegetables, and the raspberries from our back bush, strawberries growing along the railway tracks, and chokecherry trees heavy with fruit, were all turned into

Reid Bros helps keep wheels turning

Reid Bros Motor Sales, represented by manager Trevor Reid, is thanked by Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Para Transit driver Colin Borshevsky for the dealership’s annual financial support as a sponsor of the Care Coach. The staff at the community support agency is in the middle of their annual ‘Yellow Envelope Keep the Wheels Turning’ campaign for the Para Transit Care Coach vehicle. Donations can be dropped off or mailed to 106 McGonigal St. West, Arnprior K7S 1M4.


Wiggle, wiggle, wash and giggle The second annual Wiggle, Wiggle Wash and Spa was the place to be Aug. 10 at Robert Simpson Park, especially for canine lovers. The Arnprior and District Humane Society staged the event at the park where vendors displayed their products and volunteers provided grooming, cleaning and other services for visiting dogs. This little Yorkshire Terrier, Pebbles, gets a wash from volunteers from Erin Clarke (left), Murray Devries and Brianna Macspurren. The humane society’s next fundraiser is a jam and jellies taste-tester at the Arnprior Mall in September.

Val Hemphill, left, of the Arnprior and District Humane Society accepts a donation for the care of Leo the Lion Heart, the golden doodle in the society’s care after being found badly matted and undernourished in rural West Carleton just east of Arnprior. The donation is from Newfoundland dog Kasey and his owners, Sherry Lacourse and Tasha Yendall of Cherished Pets Gifts in Renfrew. The Wiggle, Wiggle fundraiser raised just over $2,000 for the society. “We thank the community and local merchants for their continued support with gifts, service or monetary support,” said Hemphill.

Eighteen-month-old Lily Hansen of Arnprior is perched on her mother’s shoulders after receiving her child identification program (Ch.I.P.) information on a compact disc, as part of the Mason Foundation of Ontario’s MasoniCh.I.P. Aug. 9 at the Madawaska Masonic Lodge in Arnprior. Fewer than 10 children came to have their personal ID data recorded. Now in its seventh season in Ontario, the program stores the data of children on a CD that the family can take to the OPP in case the child is abducted or goes missing for other reasons. From left are Masonic Lodge members Albert Veninga and Bill Colbert; back row, Jenna Lahaie, daughter Lily and Auxiliary Sgt. Scott Rodden of the OPP. The masons, who attracted 50 children to their previous Arnprior Ch.I.P. day in the winter of 2012, plan to run a similar event in the next year or so. Personal data, including a photo, dental impression and/or DNA swab, are provided free of charge to the parents of the child. For more details, visit the masons’ website at www.masonchip.ca.

Paddy

**Except for Holiday Mondays R0012855147

Paddy was found in Arnprior back in March after many years roaming the streets and fending for himself. This handsome boy has many battle scars from his time spent living on the streets, his ears are torn & his teeth were broken from the years of fighting with other cats. It didn’t take Paddy long to decide that he enjoys being taken care of, he had some dental work to remove his broken teeth and with regular meals and TLC, he has thrived. Despite everything he has been through he is quite simply one of the nicest, sweetest cats to come into the shelter. He is approx. 6-7 years old, he is an easy going, affectionate boy, he doesn’t mind other cats or dogs. He really deserves to find his special forever home where he will never have to worry about fighting for survival again.

Bereavement retreat connects those who’ve lost loved ones Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - A free retreat in Arnprior for those grieving the death of a loved one hopes to ease the pain by sharing resources and experiences during day trips in early September and October. The Care and Share Bereavement Retreats, hosted by Hospice Care Ottawa, feature a day of sharing experiences as well as relaxation at the Galilee Retreat Centre in Arnprior on Sept. 10 and Oct. 1. The idea is to give those who have recently lost a loved one a chance to talk about what they have gone through, to figure out where they are in their bereavement and learn to take time for themselves again, said Sandy Curtis Arnot, a support care nurse with Hospice Care Ottawa who oversees the bereavement support program. “The bereavement retreat itself is a very gentle, nurturing kind of day,” she said. Retreat participants can leave the RuddyShenkman Hospice on 110 McCurdy Dr. in Ottawa by bus at 8:30 a.m. both days and begin the day with a workshop to give people a chance to share, learn coping tips and receive information on grief resources available to them. “It’s an opportunity to talk about things that that person needs to talk about.”

SUBMITTED

Forty-nine guests attend the 2013 Care and Share Bereavement Retreat in September at the Galilee Retreat Centre in Arnprior. “For one individual it might be the actual circumstances of what happened that day of the death and for other people … it’s adjusting to one’s role,” said Curtis Arnot. “You are no longer a husband or a wife for instance, (that means) making changes in your daily life if you have been the caregiver to someone and they are no longer there.” The sudden hole created by the loss of someone can make it very difficult for people to ad-

just to their new reality, said Curtis Arnot. But sharing experiences and coping strategies with those who have gone through something similar is a very valuable, she said. “Often, in your regular life, people don’t know someone who has maybe suddenly lost their spouse or suddenly lost their daughter,” said Curtis Arnot. “It’s helpful to meet people who are walking that same type of path.” After the hour-long morning segment, the

rest of the day is about relaxation, with yoga, reiki, massages, art therapy and a forest walk, which tends to be the highlight of the retreat, said Curtis Arnot. These activities help participants to think about their own well-being again, she said, as many have been taking care of their ailing loved one for an extended period. “They take away pieces like the importance of making time for themselves or doing things that are important to them or something kind to themselves, because if they have been a caregiver up to that loss, often people have put their own personal needs and interests on hold for sometimes a very long time,” said Curtis Arnot. Ultimately, it’s often the sharing that makes the biggest difference, she said. “(Participants) are often really surprised at how generous the volunteers have been and how much there is to be gained just by sharing that bit of information with another human being who is actually going to listen to them and be nurturing and kind.” The day ends at 4:30 p.m. There are still plenty of spaces left for both retreats, said Kristina Voth-Childs who organizes the events. There is room for 35 guests each day. For more information, contact sandy. curtisarnot@hospicecareottawa.ca or call 613591-6002 ext. 29.

Community – OK, that’s enough rain thank you. You sure have to be careful what you wish for these days. Things were pretty dry, but really! One more Saturday dinner under our belts, and that’s literally. What a great chicken ‘N rib dinner Saturday night and a good crowd enjoyed the Y Not 3 group all afternoon. It’s amazing how many people love to come out and dance on a Saturday afternoon. Everyone in town is getting ready

for the White Pine Festival this coming weekend. The Legion is all prepared to get people off on the right track with a big breakfast Saturday morning. New time for this one is 8 to 11 a.m., so you can get started early or finish off with a late breakfast. Back a few weeks ago we had a very interesting gentleman and his wife drop in to visit. John Bamlett (who is 80+) and his wife Claire are from Mississauga and are members of Branch 582 Royal Canadian Legion. John, retired, decided to make a project of visiting every Legion branch in Ontario. There were 641

branches. There are only 411 left now. John has visited 354 of them, leaving 57 yet to travel to. He has a branch ribbon from all the legions and keeps them in an album in numerical order. Most of his visits have been done as day trips. What an ambitious ‘young man’ and kudos to his wife as well for their dedication. We are honoured to have had them stop at our branch in Arnprior and welcome them back any time. Speaking of ‘welcome’, I’m sure everyone in town knows they are welcome at Branch 174, but in case you

don’t know, you are. It seems there is a misconception that you must be a member to enter the door. Not so. We welcome you to join us for any of our events, breakfast, dinners, dances. There’s always lots of advertising and always info in the community happenings in the paper, so you will know where, when and how much. Information is always available at the bar. The Hamburger Fridays has increased significantly since Canada Day in the park. It’s surprising how many people didn’t know it was open to the public. Legion Week celebrations are to honour all the veterans for a full week, beginning Sunday afternoon,

Samantha, left, and Sydney Dougherty enjoy two of the 933 blizzards sold at the Arnprior Dairy Queen Aug. 14 on Miracle Treat Day. That’s Penny Craig behind who served them. The special day raised an impressive $3,400 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Right, Tiffany and Paris Rothschild check out gifts they received from DQ employees Kelsey Broome and Joann Laderoute, who were taking a turn at the face-painting-games booth. DQ co-owner Jane Ferrari said she delighted with the turnout considering Aug. 14 was the coldest day of the summer so far.

John & Heather Vanderwal In memory of our mom June, who passed away August 20, 2011. If roses grow in Heaven Lord, Please pick a bunch for me, Place them in my mothers arms And tell her they are from me. Tell her I love her and miss her, And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek, And hold her for awhile. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, But there is an ache within my heart That will never go away.

In loving memory of my wife June who passed away 3 years ago, August 20, 2011. It is sad to walk the road alone, Instead of side by side. But to all there comes a moment, When the ways of life divide. You gave me years of happiness, Then came sorrow and tears, But you left me beautiful memories, I will treasure though the years. Your loving husband, Murray

Just his loving hand to hold,

His smiling face to touch, As in the days that we both had, A light is from my lonely home. A voice I love is still, A place is vacant in his chair, That never can be ďŹ lled. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks, Lonely night I wake up crying, Wishing you were here, To hold me tightly in your arms, And wipe away my tears. Along the road to yesterday, That leased me straight to you. Are memories of the happy times, Together we all knew. And always every evening I seem to ďŹ nd a way, Of wandering back to meet you On the road to yesterday. CLR547193

Swampfest to showcase local entertainers Community - The fifth annual Swampfest is set for this Saturday, Aug. 23. Kinburn’s end of summer festival features the live music of great local entertainers, from classic country to bluegrass as well as other activities for kids of all ages. Enjoy free canoe and kayak rides and family games from 1 to 5 p.m. Elk burgers will be available from 5 to 7 p.m. Musical acts this year - from 5 to 11 p.m. - include Bryan Snider, Imali and Stephen, The Mud Hens, Andy Bowes and Brad Scott, Charlotte Van Barr, and Kyle Felhaver. The first Swampfest in 2010 was a celebration of the 180th anniversary of the founding of the village. The festival takes its name from the Swamp Tavern, the first business of the village, established around 1830 and, in its time, was one of the few stopping places along the Ottawa-Arnprior Road. No pictures of the Swamp Tavern are known

to exist. The sketch of the tavern that is shown at kinburn.ca is taken from the Star Inn at the Glengarry Pioneer Inn at Dunvegan, Ont. The Star Inn was built around the same time as the Swamp Tavern, and they were quite likely similar. The first floor of the Star Inn has two sections - the tavern and the kitchen/dining room on either side of a centre staircase. There are two bedrooms on the second floor. There was also quite likely a stable associated with the tavern where travellers could feed and rest their horses. And, although the Swamp Tavern (and the swamp) are long gone, festival organizers have retained the name as a link to the community’s early history. For this year’s fun, bring along a lawn chair, bug spray, sun hat, water bottle and a safe ride home. Swampfest is a major summer community event in the village, and is a major fund-raising event for the Kinburn Community Association.

JASON MARSHALL/SUBMITTED

Community - Some of the best fiddlers from not only the Ottawa Valley – but from across Canada – will be performing at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior on Tuesday, Aug. 26 as part of Valley Heritage Radio’s 10th annual Fiddle Fest. The top fiddlers from coast-to-coast are in the area for the Canadian Grand Masters Championships in Ottawa, and will be heading to the Pembroke Fiddle and Step Championships later in the week at Fiddle Park. And in between those two intense competitions, they will stop in Arnprior. “We’re excited to be able to bring these amazing musicians to Arnprior, because we know the people in the Valley love their fiddle music,” said station manager Jason Marshall. “And what makes this night different is that it’s not competition fiddling, so these world-class fiddlers are able to showcase their talents in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. For fiddle fans, there’s nothing better.” Admission for Fiddle Fest is $12 for Valley Heritage radio members, and $15 for non-members. Tickets are available at Valley Heritage Radio (3009 Burnstown Rd., just outside of Renfrew), Peebles lottery kiosk at the Arnprior Shopping Centre and Nicholson’s store in Pakenham. As an added bonus, Valley Heritage Radio will host a number of fiddlers for a more intimate live performance at the station Wednesday afternoon (Aug. 27). The show will air live from 2 to 4 p.m. on 98.7FM, and anyone wishing to attend is invited to the station. There is no charge for this live concert. For more information, contact Valley Heritage Radio at 1-888-532-9870.
