Many local farmers are not happy with delays in decision regarding drought relief, pointing to funding being received by the counterparts on the Quebec side. Perhaps the Quebec farmers have clout because they speak with one voice.

Back to school

Classes to begin on time despite teacher dispute Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – There won’t be a strike during the students’ first day of school, according to an area teachers’ union spokesman, but after that it depends on how far the Liberal government is willing to push it.

Premier Dalton McGuinty said during a tour of an Ottawa school on Aug. 17 his minority government plans to introduce legislation that will require school boards and teacher unions to accept a salary freeze over the next two years and ban any strikes or lockouts.

After eight years of relative stability compared to the tumultuous Mike Harris years, relations between the Liberal government and teachers has soured as Queen’s Park tries to get a handle on the provincial deficit.

McGuinty has declared he will recall the Ontario legislature early on Monday, Aug. 27 to vote on a bill called Putting Students First.

The bill would also force teachers to take a 1.5 per cent pay cut in the form of unpaid professional development days, eliminate banked sick days and offer 10 teaching days for short-term sick leave.

He said the measures will save the deeply-indebted province $2 billion over the next two years. The one-time “education premier” added that if teachers don’t give up the money it could affect other areas of the education system.

The annual L’Arche Arnprior walk raised over $5,000 and many spirits Saturday.

It’s the third in a series of celebrations that started with the Arnprior 150 party and fol-

lowed up by the Arnprior Fair.

The third annual White Pine Festival will also offer up a variety of amusements starting Friday evening and run through Sunday (Aug. 24-26).

The event begins this Friday evening with the outdoor movie Grown Ups starring Adam Sandler down in Robert Simpson Park.

While movie-goers wait for it to be dark enough for the movie to begin, there will be live entertainment and face-painting.

Future of Arnprior’s Terry Fox Run in doubt John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – Help!

Arnprior’s Terry Fox Run needs a new co-ordinator to survive. The town has had a Terry Fox run for all of the event’s 31 years. But last year’s might have been its last.

Long-time co-ordinator Rita Cloutier, who has been the face of the local run for the past 31 years, is bowing out this year for health reasons.

Teachers ‘ready to work with school boards’ Continued from front

“We can’t invest in teacher pay hikes and roll out full-day kindergarten,� he said. “We can’t invest in teacher pay hikes and keep class sizes down. We can’t invest in teacher pay hikes and maintain jobs for those 13,000 teachers, new teachers that we’ve hired (over the past nine years).�

The legislation would take effect Sept. 1, the day after current teachers and support staff agreements expire. If unchanged, automatic staff salaries kick in.

The government says the hikes, as much as 5.5 per cent, would be put in effect if it doesn’t take steps to undo them.

Union reps call that one of many attempts at fear-mongering. More than half the province’s teachers agreed to zero per cent wage increases during the last round, according to Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation District 28 president Jeff Barber of Admaston-Bromley. The vast majority of the other half would see a one per cent increase. ‘MANUFACTURED CRISIS’

“We’re kind of bystanders now. We have no money (for pay raises),� he said. “We have no idea where we’d get the money.�

That’s because the board sent in a proposed budget in May. It received money back from the province that included a zero per cent pay increase for employees.

That tying of the hands at the local level, begun under the Harris government, is another indication that democracy is removed from the ground level, according to Barber. He said traditionally contracts were negotiated at the board level.

What the McGuinty government is doing not only removes local decision-making, but imposes decisions from the highest levels of government.

Shields, again, said regardless of how either side is handling the standoff, the board could soon be caught in a tight situation. “We have no time set aside right now for negotiations,� he said.

Barber said the Liberals are manufacturing a crisis by imposing artificial deadlines, pinning groups against one another, and inflating the numbers. But the former Renfrew Collegiate Institute teacher said educators and staff are willing to contribute to solving the debt problem, but through negotiation not by force. “Our members will be in their schools and working with students on the first day,� Barber said. “We’re ready to work with local school boards and talk.�

He added that he has no crystal ball, and didn’t discuss the possibility of work-to-rule action.

The Liberals said union negotiators walked away from the table in the past. Barber said they walked away from three lawyers with a fistful of demands, not elected politicians willing to talk.

Asked about popular opinion that shows all public sector employees are paid more and enjoy better benefits than other taxpayers, Barber said it is easier these days to pick on unions rather than target other areas.

Politicians are also well compensated, he said. As well, corporations are pulling in record profits and are taxed lower in Ontario than almost anywhere else in North America. “I wouldn’t characterize teachers in the one per cent,� he said. “We are willing to talk and willing to help, but they are going beyond that now.�

He said the Liberals are “taking away democracy� if they impose the Putting Students First bill. That it would dismantle rules that have built the standard-of-living all Ontarians have enjoyed for many years.

McGuinty said measures must be taken to respond to the lagging provincial and world economy. The wage increases, the sick leave provision and the existing retirement gratuity would cost the province $473 million, according to the Ministry of Education.

The deals struck in the past brought labour peace, but it can’t go on, he said. “They were reasonable and responsible given the economics that prevailed,� he said. “But these are different times, I think Ontarians recognized that.�

There is much uncertainty in the global economy, said McGuinty and as a consequence Ontario’s economy is growing more slowly than the government would like. “We can’t afford to give pay hikes to teachers or doctors or nurses or any of the 1.3 million public sector workers,� he said. “Not right now. They’ve all had reasonable, responsible pay hikes over the past nine years. “These times are a little bit different,� he said. “It really is responsible for us to protect jobs and protect progress, but hit the pause button for a couple of years.�

Farmers should speak with one voice like in Quebec: mayor John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – Drought-stricken Ontario farmers would probably be receiving government assistance by now if they spoke with one voice like their Quebec counterparts.

And providing specific information as to how the drought is affecting them will improve their chances of receiving government aid.

Those were two messages that Mayor Mary Campbell shared with McNab-Braeside council Tuesday as councillors discussed the impact of one of the driest summers on record.

Council decided to table until its Sept. 4 meeting a motion to support the Renfrew County National Farmers Union (NFU) appeal for disaster relief funds for area farmers.

Campbell pointed out the issue of compensation for farmers was being discussed that evening in a meeting in Cobden and would be on the agenda again at a 7 p.m. session to be hosted

by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant Monday, Aug. 27 at the Renfrew Legion. For a story on the frustrations expressed by farmers at the Cobden meeting, see Page 10.

Campbell said she applauded the NFU for its initiative and agreed farmers needed help. “Good on them,” she said. However, it may be become clear at the two meetings that funding should be coming from the AgriRecovery program and not be disaster relief, she added.

She told council that during a visit by Ontario Federation of

Agriculture (OFA) president Mark Wales to McGregor’s Produce last week, she asked area OFA representative Brian Hamilton why the efforts to provide relief for Ontario farmers is “so far behind” that in Quebec.

She noted the Quebec government has been buying hay for drought-ridden farmers for the past month to help them keep their cattle and has already been providing a subsidy. In Ontario, no aid is yet forthcoming and the amount of involvement of the provincial and federal governments in aid programs still hasn’t been resolved, she noted.

Campbell said Hamilton suggested the Quebec government responds so quickly to farmer appeals because they speak with a united voice in that province. In Ontario, the farm voice is split between the OFA, NFU and Christian Farmers.

“Hopefully this drought will bring farmers together to speak with one voice,” she said.

Campbell also urged local farmers to fill out forms detailing the economic impact the drought is having on their operations.

The collection of this type of data is necessary if this area is to get special funding, she said.

Information such as how much a farmer loses by prematurely selling stock is important, she added, noting the impact of the drought will continue for some time.

While not providing any direct assistance yet, Ontario has asked the federal government to join with the province in an assessment of support options, including tax relief, for livestock producers affected by dry weather.

There is a variety of support programs designed to protect Ontario farmers against a number of risks, such as bad weather or significant swings in market prices for their crops.

To participate in a business risk management program, producers must commonly enrol and pay a premium, similar to home or life insurance. The following federal-provincial programs are available to Ontario farmers.

• Production Insurance kicks in when a field crop falls short because of extreme weather, pests or other factors.

• AgriStability is a type of income insurance, where the trigger is a decline in income or an increase in costs. Producers who are experiencing financial distress and are in need of immediate help can apply for an interim AgriStability payment.

• AgriInvest works much like a savings account that farmers can use to either cover small income declines or support other investments. Each year, farmers can deposit a small amount (1.5 per cent) of their net sales into a bank account and receive a matching government contribution. Funds can be withdrawn at any time.

• AgriRecovery is a disaster relief framework that provides a rapid response for producers affected by events such as droughts, flooding, hailstorms, ice storms, or wildfires. The province may request an AgriRecovery assessment, which is done together with the federal government.

In addition, Ontario’s Risk Management Program (RMP) insures farmers against losses in income, and is available for the cattle, grains and oilseeds, hog, sheep and veal sectors.

Post box clean-up urged

New McNab-Braeside fire department station chief, captain appointed

John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

The McNab-Braeside Fire Department wants Canada Post to clean up the flyers and debris around its mail boxes next to the Braeside fire hall.

In a recommendation approved by township council Tuesday, they also ask that Canada Post provide collection containers be placed at the site for unwanted flyers and mail.

Coun. Brad McIlquham said the real problem is in the winter. “I hope we have a (Braeside) post office by then,” said Mayor Mary Campbell.

Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie reported that the post master position has been reposted once again because the last candidate wasn’t suitable.

When questioned about the White Lake post boxes, fire chief Ken Walton said firefighters clean up there. “We should sent them (Canada Post) a bill,” said Blimkie.

EMC news - The McNabBraeside Volunteer Fire Department received a station chief and captain Tuesday.

And fire chief Ken Walton informed township council that the department has 10 new firefighters, six of who he introduced to the councillors.

They stayed to watch council approved the appointments of Kevin Nicholson to District chief of Station 2 (White Lake) and Karen Barsoski as a captain in the same station.

Nicholson, an electrician by trade, has been a McNabBraeside firefighter for nine years and captain for the past three.

Barsoski, a firefighter for the past nine years, is the department’s high profile fire prevention officer. The new dual role prompted some councillors to question whether it might prove to onerous.

Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie, while emphasizing she had nothing but admiration for Barsoski’s performance as fire prevention officer, wondered if someone else should take over that duty now that she is a captain.

“She’s doing a wonderful job, but perhaps we should spread the wealth,” she said.

Mayor Mary Campbell and Coun. Bob Campbell also suggested it might be advantageous for the department if someone else was trained to lead the fire prevention effort.

However, Coun. Aldene Styles pointed out that Gord Brown, who was formerly in the position, was also a captain. “There is a precedent,” she said.

Chief Walton stuck to his recommendation, saying he had no doubt Barsoski could do both jobs. They are two distinctly different positions , he explained.

If it turns out to be a problem down the road, it will be reviewed, he added.

Walton noted that other fire departments also have people in dual roles.

He said that while firefighters gladly help with the fire prevention duties, most don’t want to, or have the time, to take on the fire prevention officer role.

He explained that the captain’s position was posted at the three halls and all firefighters received a fax reminding them of the vacancy. But there was only one application.

Mayor Campbell said she agreed Barsoski does a marvellous job, but noted it also means she would be a great mentor for her eventual successor.

Council needs to be thinking of succession planning in all areas, she said, urging the fire officials to keep an open mind on the issue.

“We just want to ensure all members have the team have freedom of aspirations,” she said. “We have a great team here, and it’s getting better (with the new appointments).”

Pilots, airport team up to watch out for forest fires John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news - Eyes in the skies have been on the guard during this hot, dry summer.

A number of pilots flying out of the Arnprior Airport have been on alert for forest or bush fires in the last month or so.

Airport manager Dan Lynch said the pilots called in five fires in late July and early August.

They not only report the fire’s location so Lynch or someone at the airport can call 9-11, they also hover in the area if possible to guide firefighters to the exact location of the smoke.

Often bush fires are hard to find because they are off the beaten track, said Lynch.

“This can be very helpful for a fire department.”

The largest fire spotted by a pilot was in the Cedar Hill Road area near Pakenham. It

was fortunate it was seen before it got much larger, he said.

The pilots also called in fires in the Calabogie area and on Lanark side of White Lake.

One allowed water bombers to come in and tackle the fire right away, he said.

Lynch said pilot Pete Bettencourt, of White Lake Marina, has been keeping watch on his area, to ensure no fires have time to grow into major problem blazes.

Other pilots taking part in the fire watch effort include John Chapman of Chapman Aviation, John Keindel, Rich Raymond and the pilots of the Mile High Parachute Club.

“It’s just another community service provided by your friendly airport to help keep the area safe,” said Lynch.

He noted that the airport has also come in handy a couple of times in the past month when planes have rushed patients to Toronto for specialized treatment.

Town of Arnprior still eyeing former CEP College property Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news – The Town of Arnprior is still very much interested in acquiring the former Canadian Emergency Preparedness College property.

This was confirmed during the Aug. 13 council meeting when council, through its action correspondence, agreed to send a written response to Public Works and Gov-

ernment Services Canada (PWGSC) confirming its interest in the property.

That interest has been ongoing for many years, but it was a recent letter from PWGSC that prompted the town to reaffirm its position.

“As you are aware, there are environmental contamination issues on the property and Boeing and PWGSC are working together towards a solution acceptable to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment,” wrote

federal real estate officer Jo’Anne Bates.

“In the interim, PWGSC would like to confirm if the Corporation of the Town of Arnprior is still interested in acquiring the property. At the same time, PWGSC would like to advise you that for health and safety reasons PWGSC is proceeding with the demolition of the Hangar 2 building.”

Coun. Dan Lynch, who is also the manager of the Arnprior Airport, said

the airport received the same letter as the town. He noted all parties who expressed interest in the property previously are still interested.

Council agreed and a response was to be sent back to PWGSC prior to Aug. 17.

The facility was established in Arnprior in 1954 to train civilian defence personnel and was known as the Federal Civil Defence College until 1972.

From 1972-75, the facility was

called the Canadian Emergency Measures College and offered courses to municipal officials and employees.

From 1995 until 2003 it was called the Canadian Emergency Preparedness College and offered more than 100 courses, workshops and seminars on emergency preparedness.

In 2003, the college was relocated from Arnprior to a larger, more modern facility in Ottawa.

The Arnprior building has sat largely unused since that time.

Council to take part in Queen’s workshop to help establish corporate strategy, priorities Theresa Fritz Theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news – Members of Arnprior council and some town staff are going back to school, sort of.

Local legislators have approved a two-session workshop facilitated by the Queen’s Executive Decision Centre (QEDC). The workshop, costing $7,000, will help councillors develop a corporate vision and set priorities that will guide council decision-making over the new few years.

The QEDC was established in 1987 to facilitate executive meetings using Group Decision Support Software (GDSS).

The format is designed to allow participants to quickly and efficiently analyze issues, solve complex problems, resolve conflicts and arrive at high-quality solutions in a more timely and cost-effective way than a conventional meeting.

Mayor David Reid said there have been several staff changes at the town hall and coupled with council’s desire

to do more long-term planning, this kind of workshop would be beneficial.

“These are workshops that are great,” Reid noted.

Although we have a strategic plan, it was done in 2003.

This (workshop) could be seen as corporate goal-setting.”

The mayor emphasized with a new CAO and a new treasurer, a session like the one proposed would be help-

ful for staff “old and new.” He added the County of Renfrew undertook a similar working with QEDC and found the exercise helpful.

New Arnprior CAO Michael Wildman said QEDC offers several different programs and each can be tailored to the needs of participants.

“A lot of councils do it at the start of a term,” he noted.

“Doing it now (two years into

this council term) is wise to make sure everyone is on the same page.”

Reeve Walter Stack said the county did indeed benefit from the training and he believes it would be valuable for Arnprior council.

“As a new council, elected as part of a wave of change, we met together as a group to look at where we wanted to go. But, we have not had

a chance (two years into the term) to revisit that,” he said.

“I think, as a council, we need to regroup. We have made a commitment (to the public) for our term that frankly, we have not met.”

Reid added he really favoured the two-day training over a one-day session since the town “has some really large files” not necessarily dealing with strategic plan-

ning but that will take staff time to complete.

The workshop would not only be of value to town staff and council, public input would also be sought and this is something that Stack was enthused about.

“This is an exciting process,” he concluded.

The tentative dates for the workshops are Sept. 18 and 25.

During the Aug. 13 Arnprior council meeting, town planner Robin Smith informed council a request had been made to amend the town’s Official Plan and implementing zoning bylaw for property known as Block 141 Bellwood Drive in Campbellbrook Village. The change, if approved, would see the 1.84 ha (4.5 acres) of property go from Highway Commercial to Residential and Residential Three-holding.

Smith noted the block of land in question was originally intended for some kind of commercial usage, but she noted it is “an awkward piece of land to develop with an individual road.” Furthermore, there is no direct Highway 417 access and all the surrounding development is residential.

If the rezoning is approved, the designation would allow for the development of multidensity housing units.

“Because of the access, it (residential) is about the only development you could see (on the land),” said Reeve Walter Stack. “I would be in favour of the request.”

The public meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. in council chambers.

OPINION EDITORIAL

The fair helps us remember, celebrate a simpler time Even before the Arnprior Agricultural Society announced it would be donating half its fair proceeds to drought-stricken farmers, the wags were already saying the fair would be a boon for the crops. “It always rains at the Arnprior fair� is a common refrain, although somewhat misleading. It doesn’t always rain on the fair’s parade,

but often enough. And, of course, in the driest summer in many moons, it rained on the fair.

Not much; in fact the cooler weather was a s much a blessing to fair-goers as to farmers.

But one wouldn’t have begrudged the hardworking fair volunteers if they hadn’t packed it in long before now given the many challenges they face. Yet they soldier on, ensuring Arn-

prior remembers its agricultural roots with an entertaining and informative fair each year.

For that, we should all be grateful.

For rural fall fairs are a celebration of a much simpler, yet much more difficult time.

Fall fairs remind us of our heritage – days when most food came from nearby fields, gardens and barnyards. And when skills like bak-

ing, preserving, sewing and knitting kept families fed and clothed.

Losing the fair would rob Arnprior of part of its identity and its past.

So give the fair board members, who must sometimes feel they are going it alone, a hearty pat in the back. They deserve more support than they are getting from the community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MP feeding public selective fare on CBC To the editor: Scare-tactic comments by MP and Valley Protector, Cheryl Gallant, alleging neglect of rural communities by CBC radio (Chronicle Guide EMC, Aug. 2), inspired me to invent a brand new recipe.

The “Gallan-wich� begins with one thick slice of record funding cuts to the CBC, punishment for their unwillingness to kow-tow to Ms. Gallant’s political masters.

Over that you layer selective and biased ‘facts’ about the CBC, how they have cruelly let down rural radio listeners.

Remember to avoid any mention of those awkward funding cuts. Smear the facts with Cheryl’s Own brand of rural sentimentality and self-promotion.

To complete the treat, leave off any mention of the impending application by the Bell-Astral consortium to engorge their already bloated radio-TV-Internet acquisitions.

To really enjoy this meal, serve this just prior to the CRTC hearings, where Bell-Astral will try to convince Canadians that the already rural-unfriendly service they provide will not become even worse.

Don’t forget to serve it with a side order of tasteless pap, specially prepared in Toronto or New York.

I would recommend some very strong beverage to cover the foul taste of the Gallan-wich and to make it possible to swallow.

Jack Layton’s message continues to resonate To the editor: Wednesday, Aug. 22nd marked one year since the death of Jack Layton, but thousands of postings on the website ‘Dear Jack.ca’ attest to his continuing influence.

I remember a man who approached the NDP booth at the Renfrew fair last September. At one side of the booth we had hung a picture of Jack and we had a memorial book which people were invited to sign.

This man asked if there hadn’t been “enough of this.� Although he was trying to appear controlled and perhaps slightly sardonic, he was, in fact, positively bristling.

I felt then as I feel now, that he just didn’t “get it.�

He didn’t get that the outpouring of love and gratitude and grief had nothing to do with party politics. It was, to be sure, partially about the man himself, but it was more about the man’s legacy of hope and empowerment.

We are all important. Each of us can, and indeed must, contribute to making a better world - pretty heady stuff!

Many have taken his message and carried it forward; many more will do so, and thus will Jack’s beloved Canada and the world move out of the shadows.

Thanks Jack!

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION

Has our interest in the Olympics become too focused on medal-winners and not enough on the efforts of the athletes?

The provincial legislature is being reconvened Aug. 27 to pass the Putting Students First Act. Is the government putting students first in its dealings with teachers?

A) No. We should be focused on the

B) Yes. There are some wonderful sto-

ries being ignored because the athletes aren’t involved in the ‘sexy’ events or from the high-profile countries.

C) No. It’s only natural to focus on the

jobs in society and they should be compensated better to reflect that.

D) Yes. The heartache of defeat can be just 27 % as compelling a story as the ecstasy of victory. Just ask triathlete Paula Findlay.

A)

Yes. Teachers have had it good since the McGuinty Liberals were elected. It’s time their taxpayer-paid salaries and benefits return to a more realistic level.

B) No. Teachers have one of the most important

C) Yes. The government should ban teacher strikes and impose settlements on them. Don’t rob students of an essential service.

D) No. Let collective bargaining work. Don’t impose contracts from above. If teachers aren’t happy, their students aren’t likely to be happy either.

OPINION

Olympics: many thumbs-up, few thumbs-down It was Aug. 8 and Dai Bassett of Valley Heritage Radio was standing outside the Eganville arena talking about the “golden girl” and other golden moments.

He had already dubbed Melissa Bishop the golden girl in his song that he shared with 700 other happy souls prior to watching the Eganville Olympian’s race in the first round of the women’s 800 metres.

But he went another lap, calling the emotions of that race and the support from the Eganville area one the most stirring events he’s ever witnessed.

As an aside, he mentioned that his daughter, Emma, a university student, had a recent brush with Olympic gold.

She was in Toronto before the Olympics when she met Canada’s future Olympic gold medallist and trampolinist Rose MacLennan, a friend of one of Emma’s friends.

MacLennan’s victory was the only official gold struck by Canadian athletes at the London Olympics, but there was no shortage of proud moments and distinctly, if you wish, golden moments with or without medals.

The Olympics are about excellence, but not only excellence, hence that qualifier when mentioning some of my personal highlights from the Games of the XXXth Olympiad.

There was a pile of thumbs-up, including a certain American swimmer, Michael Phelps, and Canadian judoka Antoine Valois-Fortier, who defeated the defending Olympic champion and other stars en route to capturing a totally unexpected bronze medal.

But many other moments also resonated.

From a longer list, here are a few of mine:

STEVE NEWMAN STEVE’S SIXTH SENSE • The astonishing support in the Ottawa Valley for local Olympic middle-distance runner Melissa Bishop, and her own professional grace despite her inability to advance into the semi-finals from the opening heats.

• The silver medal for the articulate, flat-water kayaker Adam van Koeverden of Oakville after the recent front-page feature in Cottage Life. The magazine profiled the Olympic medallist’s discovery and purchase of a dilapidated, old cottage in Algonquin Park. Van Koeverden already had one gold, one silver and one bronze medal from previous Olympics, before reaching the podium again at the London Games.

As he said after capturing his fourth Olympic medal, “I can find the silver lining in silver.”

• Simon Whitfield for coming to the rescue of injured, last-place Paula Findlay, whom some critics said shouldn’t have been there in the first place because of her lack of fitness.

Also a big thumbs up for his selection as Canada’s flag bearer in the opening ceremonies.

• The Canadian women’s soccer team highperformance, never-say-die attitude against the U.S.A. and then France, en route to a sensationally dramatic bronze-medal triumph.

• The Canadian equestrian team’s fifth-place showing despite the questionable ruling to disqualify Tiffany Foster’s horse. The ruling left the Canadian team virtually shorthanded, with

their three riders to other teams’ four riders in the Nations Cup jumping.

• Teenager Kerani James’ runaway track and field victory in the men’s 400 metres for Grenada’s first-ever Olympic medal. James also became the first non-American to break 44 seconds, en route to capturing Olympic gold in 43.94.

• Double-amputee Oscar ‘The Blade Runner’ Pistorius of South Africa. It remains highly contentious if this man of bone, muscle and steel has an advantage over rivals made of just bone and muscle. But he is a fantastic ambassador for athletes, disabled or not, for his attitude and well-spoken comments about his involvement in sport.

• RONA’s advertising segments during the games, for ingenuity and inclusion of so many different sports. A highlight was the TV ad that had a string of athletes (including a high jumper, archer and kayaker) transporting a screw driver – that’s right, a screwdriver – across the country.

The last member of the ‘relay squad’ performed several flips before handing the screwdriver to a fellow worker, only to be asked if he had a hammer too.

• The strong performances by Canadian women who have been to Renfrew and still rub shoulders with young Renfrew-area wrestlers, like London Olympics fourth-place finisher Martine Dugrenier of Montreal.

• The announcement that CBC has won the broadcasting rights for the next two Olympics.

While the consortium’s coverage for the 2012 Olympic Games was decent, immediacy and insight was lacking in some sports. There was

also a distinct lack of recognition of several sports, including shooting, archery and equestrian dressage. Whether that changes with CBC remains to be seen.

There were several disappointments, like the short-lived celebration of a Canadian track and field bronze medal in the men’s 4x100-metre relay, as the P.E.I. athlete on the third leg was disqualified for running on the line inside his lane. But disappointments are inevitable in the Olympics., There were few thumbs-down, but there were these: • The bad officiating or rulings that tarnished Canadian athletes in equestrian, boxing and women’s soccer. Like Canadian Olympic team vet Dr. Sylvie Surprenant said: “In our opinion the horse (Victor) was fit to compete, as he showed no signs of lameness ... While the FEI rules … were followed, we believe that there should be a review of this protocol.”

• Tiresome misspeaks by journalists about title defences. One radio reporter said Canadian men’s rowing crew failed to defend its Olympic eights title. Not so!

Defending a title means one shows up and competes, win, lose or draw; winning a second straight title means you successfully defend that title.

The Canadians not only defended the title, by the virtual fact eight rowers and coxswain Brian Price competed in the final, but they rebounded in amazing fashion.

After a disheartening showing in the heats, they rallied for one of the most stirring silvermedal performances of the Games … and another golden moment.

Make sure you fill your life up with what’s important JIM SILYE Guest columnist

As we progress through 2012 and find that our Premier continues to find ways to increase our cost of living, imposing more accounting workload on firearms retailers ( a stealth gun registry in defiance of the new federal law), picking a fight with the medical profession (imposing a salary cap and no funds for new doctors, smart, eh?) along with reading about federal politicians pigging out at the trough at our expense ($1,000 limousines and fancy hotels as they lay off staff), I thought maybe passing along this message would help put things into perspective.

The author is anonymous so I cannot give credit, but it is a good read.

A MAYONNAISE JAR AND TWO BEERS\

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the two beers.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand

and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes’.

The professor then produced two beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

“Now,” said the professor as the laughter subsided. “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

“The golf balls are the important things your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions - and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

“The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff.

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or golf balls.

“The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

“Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18.

“There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

“Take care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.

The professor smiled and said, “I’m glad you asked. The beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s al-

ways room for a couple of beers with a friend.”

Please share this with someone you care about.

I just did!”

MP, MPP hears farmers concerns about aid, Monday meeting next EMC news - Officials attending the meeting called by farmers in Cobden Tuesday included at least two area politicians.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant was in the audience, as was Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren, who said, as a farmer, he wanted to hear what the speakers had to say.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP John Yakabuski had a conflicting commitment, at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in Ottawa.

Judging by the farmers’ frustrations voiced Tuesday, Gallant said she’ll modify the structure of the Monday’s Aug. 27 meeting she’s hosting in the Renfrew Legion.

The focus, therefore, will be on how well farmer-assistance programs are working and what can be done to improve them.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

10 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, August 23, 2012

EMC news - Growing frustrations about lack of government response to current drought conditions erupted Tuesday evening in Cobden.

During a two-hour information meeting hosted by the local chapter of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture in the agricultural hall, farmers sat quietly listening to the early speakers. These included Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) crop specialist Scott Banks, Renfrew County economic development manager Alastair Baird and Mike Thompson of Community Futures Development Corporation.

They spoke about potential dangers surrounding stored corn silage, data being collected by the county’s low water response committee, and how farmers can access loans if they’re turned down by the banks.

About 150 farmers attended the meeting, which gathered momentum from there. Some farmers’ questions were for speaker Gail Simkus of the provincial government insurance body Agricorp.

One question came from Douglas farmer Preston Cull, who disputed the rainfall findings gathered by Agricorp. He indicated its data has poorly reflected how little precipitation the area has received this summer, thus adversely affecting potential Agricorp insurance payouts.

Cull later said he learned “nothing” from the information meeting.

Then the frustration erupted following a combined presentation on AgriRecovery, the framework through which farm-

ers in this region, and other regions, hope to gain additional financial assistance to help them recover from the drought.

Presenters senior policy advisor Bradley Shaw of OMAFRA and Rick Fiarchuk of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) reviewed what AgriRecovery is, and what it may be able to do for farmers.

Afterwards, pointed comments from farmers Don Russell of Osceola and Jennifer Doelman of Douglas drew resounding applause.

Shaw and Fiarchuk spoke about AgriRecovery’s objectives. These include providing “a rapid financial response to assist with immediate recovery from a disaster situation,” and to “enable shortterm actions to minimize/contain the impacts of the disaster on producers.”

Fiarchuk, who directs the AAFC’s disaster assessment and analysis division, stressed that AgriRecovery is not intended to offset income loss, but to help complement existing assistance programs and help farmers recover.

Russell, who was named one of Canada’s outstanding young farmers a few years ago, is known as an articulate, but usually soft-spoken man. But Russell, 43, had an edge to his remarks when he went to the microphone to address the two speakers.

“I realize the process is complicated and takes a little bit of time,” said Russell. “You keep saying we’re going to do this really quickly … and get it (financial assistance) to them (the farmers) as they need it … This is going to take a long time.

“You’re talking about how many peo-

ple at so many different levels, and all this information. You’re not going to get this information until late fall.

“It’s going to be next spring before we see anything, if we get anything … I’m really disappointed because I don’t think AgriRecovery is the solution.”

He also reiterated Cull’s remark about questionable rain data.

Fiarchuk is also among the officials conducting the AgriRecovery assessment (whose target is to complete the assessment within 45 business days before making recommendations). This means the assessment might be completed by the end of September.

“We don’t do this in our ivory towers,” said Fiarchuk at one point, but he was later told the assessment needs to be done by talking to more farmers one-on-one to understand the extent of the droughtcaused damage.

After Russell spoke, Douglas cashcropper Doelman weighed in with her criticisms.

She told the speakers she’d “never heard such a waste of double-speak.”

While she said she wasn’t trying to shoot the messenger, she said promises of working fast and asking for flexibility weren’t sitting well with farmers.

“You’re saying one thing, but you’re really telling us we’re on our own.”

Support needs to happen faster, added Doelman, who pointed out that there was a frost disaster in 2009, but she didn’t receive her AgStability cheque until March 2012. “I know you’re doing the best you can,” said Doelman, “but it’s not good enough … No offence, but I have no faith in the government at all.”

I had witnessed all of these behaviours many times be-

A female Wood Duck landed near a Beaver. The Beaver seemed startled and dove out of sight.

It reappeared near the duck and twice slapped its tail, apparently trying to scare the intruder away. The ploy failed.

I was watching one Beaver eat when I noticed another in the background. This one was cleaning its huge hind foot in its mouth.

What was new about this was that the Beaver was lying on its back in the water, just like a Sea Otter eating a clam!

It is unfortunate that more children are not exposed to the magic of a beaver pond.

If they were, I am sure the sales of iPods and all other forms of distraction would plummet.

The competition starts at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 3 to 4 p.m. Everyone is invited down to the park for a wonderful day of dancing and listening to bagpipers. The dancers enjoy an enthusiastic crowd to bring out their best performances.

EMC lifestyle – The Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dance Competition is being held in conjunction with the White Pine Festival this year.

About 100 dancers from the U.S., Toronto, North Bay, Quebec and, of course, from the local area will be coming to Arnprior this Sunday, Aug. 26 for the annual competition.

The event will be held at the scenic Robert Simpson Park, a wonderful site overlooking the beautiful Ottawa and Madawaska rivers.

As the competition will be held in step with Arnprior’s third annual White Pine Festival, the park will be hopping and flinging.

There will be a great deal

dressed in their kilts and national costumes. Each competitor 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 have their own interpretation of the dance,” said organizer Renee Stewart. “The lassies have lots of fun and the crowd likes to start clapping with the dancers …

Good fun (to be) had by all.”

The competition could not be held without community sponsorship, Ontario Power Generation, a long time supporter.

Organizers also send out a heartfelt thank-you, to all the event’s community supporters, as without them the competition would not happen.

The event also has a wonderful group of volunteers, who ensure the competition continues to run successfully each year.

Many parents and former Highland dancers keep coming back to keep this great competition running in Caitlin’s name.

“Thanks for keeping my daughter spirit alive in my heart,” said Renee Stewart. “Big hugs to Jan and Molly, my co-organizers, for their many hours of hard work - you two are the best!

“Come one and all and sit back to enjoy a wonderful day with the dancers.”

For more information, call Renee Stewart 613-623-4283.

This Sunday’s Highland Dance competition is in memory of Caitlin Stewart, who was an accomplished dancer herself.

Dr Kaboom’s buskers will entertain, along with local magician ‘Magical Laurie’.

The bed races, if there are enough entries, will take place at 11 a.m. when the dunk tank opens. The Valley Booters will

There will be entertainment throughout the day on the Giant Tiger stage, starting at 10 a.m.

Among the entertainers on tap will be Two Guys, Run Agroove and Pot Luck.

The grand finale will be provided with classic rock band Disturbing the Peace from 8 p.m. to midnight.

The scene moves back to Robert Simpson Park Sunday with the children’s entertainment on the waterfront. As well, the 100 or so dancers in the annual Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland dancing

competition will entertain at the gazebo.

Two special Sunday events are the Classic Car show from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and the Dragon Boat Fun day between the park and the marina from about 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The White Pine Festival committee is providing the fun and entertainment for free, so residents and visitors are encouraged to take advantage of this late summer holiday fling just over a week before school resumes.

PBS crew visits to interview local artists John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC lifestyle – Twenty-five local artists are receiving some valuable publicity after being chosen to take part in a fundraiser for the Watertown, New York PBS television station.

A WPBS crew was in the area last week filming interviews and showing off the works of the artists.

The segments were shot in Arnprior’s Robert Simpson Park, Burnstown’s Neat Café and in front of the historic Five Arch stone bridge in Pakenham. They will be aired on the PBS station in the lead-up to an on-air Art Auction Nov. 16-18, which will play a major role in the station’s fundraising week.

The local artists were chosen in a juried process organized by Kevin Dodds of Arnprior and Diana Wakely of Renfrew to provide art works for the auction.

“It’s back by popular demand,” explained WPBS special events manager Julie Weston, noting the station had many requests by viewers to revive the auction. The art auction, a major contributor to the station’s annual fundraising drive for 25 years, is back after a five-year absence.

Weston said she was “pleasantly surprised” by the amount of interest shown by Valley artists in the auction.

The artists chosen come from a variety of media, from painting and pottery to jewelry-making, she said.

The Showcase of the Arts auction will include in-depth looks into the artists’ lives and works. Participating artists receive “a lot of exposure,” both through the interviews and on the station’s website, she explained.

All participating artists are invited to attend the station for the auction and Arnprior artist Ian Bartlett will be featured creating a painting on the set.

Dodds, who has been involved in the auction for many years and was its feature artist in 1994, agrees that it’s a valuable opportunity for artists to show their art to a wide audience in Eastern Ontario and Northern New York State.

Joining Weston in making the visit to Burnstown, Arnprior and Pakenham to shoot the interviews Aug. 14-15 were director of production Tracy Duflo, producer/director Lumarie Vega and special events clerk Monica Stadalski.

Dodds is familiar with the auction, having participated for many years, including 1994 when he was the event’s featured artist.

Pakenham artist Merle Lavoie explains the origin of her painting of waterlillies to a crew from the Watertown, New York PBS station. Lavoie is one of 25 Valley artists chosen to take part in the WPBS art auction in November. Filming her segment in Robert Simpson Park are WPBS director of production Tracy Duflo and producer/director Lumarie Vega. Several of the artists were filmed in front of the park’s fountain, while others were interviewed by the gazebo when rain showers threatened.

L’Arche walk provides steps to independence Seventy-four walkers raise more than $5,000 Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

EMC news - The fifth annual L’Arche Arnprior family fun run-walk was a runaway success.

The 74 walkers and their supporters raised $5,000 and with pledges still to come the final total should approach $6,000.

Participants offered minimum $10 donations to register and qualify for prizes that were awarded at a free barbecue and awards ceremony following the event.

The 2.8-kilometre route began and ended at McLean Avenue Park.

Money raised from the event goes toward construction of a new, accessible home for L’Arche, which helps people live independently and operates three homes in Arnprior at this time.

PRIZE WINNERS Saturday’s prize winners were, in order of

finish, Cameron Scobie, Craig Scobie, Sandra Scobie, Andrew Bradley, Hill Kelly, Ivy Kelly, and L’Arche member Ken Johnston.

Wendy Craig was honoured at the most spirited walker and Ruth Walton got a prize for best hat.

According to its website, L’Arche Arnprior consists of three homes, each housing five to six core members and three assistants, a family home with two core members and a large Supported Independent Living program (SIL) with eight core members.

The assistants choose to live with core members creating a home that builds relationships and leads to the discovery of each other’s gifts.

“Core members are at the heart of the L’Arche community. Care is given to them whenever needed, but each individual is encouraged to take an active part in the daily work and play of the household itself,” the site says.

Learn more about L’Arche at outreach@ larchearnprior.org.

C0MMUNITY

Legion mission to serve veterans and the community Jan Tobio Arnprior Legion

EMC lifestyle - The Royal Canadian Legion is the largest service-oriented organization in the province.

There are 1,450 branches and 330,000 members in Canada. Like most national or international organizations, each branch supports at least two levels, Provincial Command and Dominion Command.

The fee paid yearly by each member is

shared three ways. Provincial Command, Dominion Command and there is a rather small portion left for the individual branch.

The portion of dues that go to Dominion and Provincial Commands are used to help veterans and dependants who need help with snow removal, housekeeping, meals on wheels, and transportation to medical appointments and many more worthwhile endeavors.

This makes your membership a very worthwhile investment for those who gave and are giving so much for their country.

When an increase is required by the Commands, the Branch try not to increase the cost of the membership unless absolutely necessary. The objective always is to keep membership fees as low as possible.

It is sometimes a financial nightmare to do the best possible for the members and still run a viable â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. But when all the members give willingly of their time as volunteers, it makes the battle worthwhile and the Legion a happy and successful place for everyone.

The executive are starting to wind up again

for the fall events, and then the winter, and then the Spring and on and on.

Will you be with them? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate, drop in and ask for a membership application. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be glad you did, and so will they!

The 2013 memberships are available starting in September to Jan. 31, 2013.

Word is there will be an increase in membership after that date to accommodate the increase in the cost of the Legion Magazine that every member receives through Dominion Command.

Amazing deals on the coolest events, restaurants, fashion ďŹ nds, activities & adventures Buy together and we all win!

“This is a great night!” proclaims Downchild lead singer Chuck Jackson during the band’s performance at the second annual Class Axe Guitar Blues and Ribfest at Calabogie Peaks over the weekend. An estimated 14,000 attended the event over three days.

PLEASE GET YOUR ORDERS IN ASAP!

Calabogie aims for title of Blues Capital of Canada lucy.hass@metroland.com

“It’s a great festival,” says Nancy Atchison. Contrary to its name, the blues is often brimming with joy as Constance Bay resident Atchison and MonicaVan Stow of Petawawa dig in their heels in front of the stage early Friday night. child and The Powder Blues Band.

The weather also co-operated, with only a touch of rain over the three days.

Workshops were also popular with 35 to 50 people at each session. Jack DeKeyser and J.W. Jones hosted the guitar workshops while Guy Belanger and David Rotundo offered harmonica sessions.

Harmonica lies at the heart of most blues, and Murphy said one remarkable highlight of the weekend was when the festival’s final performer - Rotundo -launched into a long, exciting song jam and, at the end, jumped off the stage and into the audience where he played up close with fans and exchanged high-fives to roars of applause.

The Calabogie Peaks festival is distinct for many reasons, including a powerful fireworks display that is timed to coincide with the last song Saturday night. The spectacu-

lar show draws boats into the Peaks’ bay and Murphy also heard reports of cars parked all the way to the Eagle’s Nest Trail turnoff on Highway 508 to catch the fireworks that were shot off midway up the mountain into the brilliant, clear night sky.

Aside from the natural amphitheatre of the ski hill for spectators, the Peaks’ event also distinguishes itself as unique by offering on-site camping.

The number of campers also increased this year and Murphy hopes that trend will continue, with the camp community spreading up the mountain.

An expanded kids’ zone offering 15 different games “went very well” according to Murphy, who was happy to see the large number of families enjoying the event. There was even a musician who performed just for the children.

Murphy said next year’s

EMC events - An estimated 14,000 people attended the second annual Class Axe Guitar Blues and Ribfest at Calabogie Peaks on the weekend.

That’s an impressive jump from last year’s turnout of 8,000 people, moving organizers to set their sights on the title of Blues Capital of Canada.

Calabogie Peaks owner Paul Murphy described the increase as “nice,” leaving larger accolades for the event’s musical lineup, vendors, volunteers and music fans.

As Downchild lead singer Chuck Jackson proclaimed during Friday night’s performance: “This is not Calabogie. This is Cala-boogie!”

Former Ottawa Mayor Larry O’Brien also gave the event a huge thumbs-up, jumping on stage to proclaim the Calabogie show even better than Ottawa’s Bluesfest celebration.

From its opening at noon Friday, right up until the gates closed Sunday at 8 p.m., the local blues showcase and ribfest was a clear success.

Murphy attributed that success to a variety of factors, including the year-round promotion given to the event by major sponsor radio station DAWG-FM, plus an impressive musical lineup.

Among those acts were premier blues bands Down-

festival will be held Aug. 16, 17 and 18 under basically the same set-up, perhaps with a few more “ribbers,” as the demand for food was very high.

The judge’s picks for best sauce went to Gator BBQ, followed by Horn Dawg’s Smokin; the best ribs were Horn Dawg’s Smokin’ BBQ followed by Gator BBQ. People’s choice honours were presented for pulled pork, chicken, ribs and sauce.

Horn Dawg’s Smokin’ BBQ was top choice, followed by Gator BBQ. The first-place chicken choice was Kentucky Smokehouse, followed by Crazy Canuck Smokers.

The people’s choice top sauce title went to Horn Dawg’s Smokin’ BBQ, followed by Kentucky, and the ribs choice was Horn Dawg’s Smokin’ BBQ over Kentucky.

This year’s overall top prize was also special, as Burnstown artist Richard Gill of Bittersweet Gallery created and donated a plaque with an impressive clay relief sculpture for the winner.

Bittersweet Gallery was also one of close to 40 vendors at the event. The vendors’ market drew good feedback from festival-goers for its diversity, and the vendors were happy with sales.

Murphy said most ticket sales were from the Ottawa, Seaway and Ottawa Valley markets, with a marked increase in local sales.

Rural Ramble goes to online process

Needed: Fox Run co-ordinator Continued from front

EMC events – This fall, Rural Rambling will be easier than ever as the traditional self-guided driving tour goes digital.

The 2012 Rural Ramble is a free online event, running from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31.

The new website, www.theruralramble.ca, will feature an interactive calendar of events that consumers will be able to use to create personalized Rural Rambles.

The annual Rural Ramble is organized by the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA), and over the years has grown from a small twoday farm tour to a free, on-going festival featuring four themes: Adventure & Exploration, Agriculture & Food, History & Heritage and Arts & Culture.

The website, designed by Blue North Studios, will showcase special events that take place during the Rural Ramble.

Events and activities will be clustered together around the Ottawa Valley’s signature Roots and Rivers driving routes used in previous fall promotional campaigns.

“Research shows that more and more people are using online tools to research and plan their trips. Seventy-three per cent of leisure travelers use the Internet to get their travel information,” explained Lauren McIllfaterick, OVTA communications co-ordinator.

“With the new website, Rural Ramblers will be able to create, download and print customized routes based on the themes and locations that interest

them the most.”

The new, online format of the Rural Ramble means that printing and distribution costs are reduced. The savings are being passed onto Rural Ramble sites.

“The cost to submit a Rural Ramble event is free for OVTA members and includes an unlimited number of listings.

Non-OVTA members are also welcome to participate in the Rural Ramble. Cost to participate for nonmembers is $40 for the first listing and $15 for every additional listing,” continued McIllfaterick.

Rural Ramble events are to be submitted online. Simply create an account on www.theruralramble.ca and follow the step-by-step submission form.

And if someone doesn’t step up and take it over, it could be the end of Arnprior’s involvement in the run that has become a Canadian tradition and has expanded world-wide.

The Terry Fox media kit, released this week, lists the Arnprior run as a “risk of cancellation for 2012.”

And that would be a shame, says Cloutier, who notes that while the number of participants wasn’t always large, there were many faithful local supporters of the run, some who have never missed one.

“I don’t like to give it up, but my health rules out continuing,” she said.

“I’m hoping someone will come forward and keep it going … it’s such a great cause.”

The 32nd annual Terry Fox Runs will be held in many area communities Sunday, Sept. 16.

Last year, millions of Ontarians in 225 community runs and school events raised $12 million for cancer research when they joined many other Canadians and participants in several countries honouring Canadian hero Terry Fox and supporting his fight against cancer.

Anyone interested in helping organize a Terry Fox Run in Arnprior Sept. 16 should contact Ontario Terry Fox Foundation director Martha McClew at 1-888-836-9786 or email martha@terryfoxrun.org; or call the Renfrew County Cancer Society toll-free at 1-800-255-8873.

Parkinson’s disease for many years. When Russ was first diagnosed, it made little difference in his life with wife Bev. He has been an active man who loved to be the centre of social and community events.

In the last few years, the effect of the disease has placed more demands on Russ and his family.

When his wife went for knee surgery last year and again this year, arrangements had to be made for Russ, who would find it difficult if left on his own. He may be unstable, unable to sleep, become confused or unable to express what he needs to someone on the phone.

With the help of family and community resources, arrangements were made that gave Bev peace of mind and Russ appropriate support.

Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disease. It affects more than 100,000 Canadians.

The cause is not clear and currently there is no cure, but many promising research projects are underway.

While young adults can be diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, the average age of onset is 60.

Like Russ, many people do not find the early signs of Parkinson’s to be debilitating. However, as the disease progresses, individuals may experience falling due to impaired balance, slowness and stiffness, loss of speech as their voice muscles weaken, varying degrees of tremor, and dementia.

Early detection is important to monitor symptoms, begin a

ASD is a range of complex neurodevelopmental disorders, characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties, and restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behaviour. Families are connected through a network of chapters throughout Ontario.

Autism Ontario is dedicated to increasing public awareness about autism and the day-to-day issues faced by individuals with autism, their families and the professionals with whom they interact.

Collectively, the organization provides information and education, supports research, and advocates for programs and services for the autism community.

Funds collected from LCBO’s donation box program will be used to support various programs run throughout the 26 chapters in Ontario, mostly staffed by parents and volunteers.

“We are grateful to LCBO, its employees and especially its customers in supporting Autism Ontario through this fundraising initiative,” said Autism Ontario’s executive director Margaret Spoelstra.

“LCBO’s province-wide store network

and supportive staff enable us to raise significant funds and increase public awareness of autism spectrum disorders that affect more than 100,000 individuals in our province.”

“LCBO is pleased to partner with Autism Ontario and provide support to a variety of worthy causes,” said LCBO CEO Bob Peter.

“Generous LCBO customers and staff improve the lives of countless Ontarians and help communities throughout the province.”

Autism Ontario is one of 28 provincial, as well as numerous local charities, that will benefit from LCBO’s province-wide donation box program in 2012.

HEALTHY PREGNANCIES

The Liquor stores also began accepting donations Aug. 19 for the Best Start Resource Centres to address alcohol use and pregnancy.

The Best Start donation boxes will also be displayed at LCBO checkout counters until Sept. 15.

The Best Start Resource Centre, a key program at Health Nexus, improves the health of pregnant women, infants and young children in Ontario. Best Start provides learning opportunities for service providers, and develops needed research, resources and province-wide awareness campaigns.

Over the last 10 years, there has been a focus on province-wide strategies to raise awareness about the risks of drinking alcohol during pregnancy and to improve the skills of health care providers

around alcohol use in pregnancy. LCBO has supported these strategies by including information in its stores, and in its Food & Drink magazine, in addition to supporting the development of a range of resources for pregnant women about alcohol and pregnancy.

Funds raised through donations will be used to promote healthy pregnancies and healthy babies, with a focus on alcohol use in pregnancy.

For more information, visit www.beststart.org or www.alcoholfreepregnancy. ca.

“We appreciate the support we receive from LCBO, its employees and especially its customers,” said Wendy McAllister, manager of the Best Start Resource Centre.

“LCBO’s province-wide store network and supportive staff enable us to raise significant funds to address the important issue of alcohol use during pregnancy in Ontario.”

Best Start and Autism Ontario thank the public for its support when shopping at their local LCBO stores, including Arnprior’s through to Sept. 15.

In 2011, LCBO raised more than $6.2 million for charities through special programs and initiatives, of which $5.7 million was raised through in-store fundraising.

In addition, LCBO’s annual dividend transfer to the Ontario government, which totaled $1.63 billion in fiscal 2011-12, excluding taxes, supports a wide range of important government programs, services and priorities, including health care and education.

Raise a little hell, fair style Fans of Trooper were indeed troopers on the Friday night of the Arnprior Fair as they shrugged off the rainy weather and enjoyed an energetic set by the Canadian rock legends. It was very muddy and wet and the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead singer said at the beginning of the concert that if lightning started they would head straight into the Bright White Sports Car and leave the stage. But the lightning stayed away and the show, in the words of one fan, was awesome.

FOOD

Sausage and spaghetti a winning combination EMC lifestyle - This casserole is good example of how to make change in a recipe and end up with a dish that tastes just as good, if not better, than the original.

The original version of this was called turkey tetrazzini for obvious reasons. It was perfect for using up the leftovers at Christmas, and we really enjoyed it.

The problem, of course, is that I don’t always have turkey on hand.

So I tried making it with chicken. That version was good, but required cooking the chicken first. That was all right unless I came home from work too tired to bother.

Next I tried making it with tuna, which can often be substituted for chicken, particularly in casseroles. That was quick and simple and became a regular supper casserole at our table.

Recently I tried yet another variation. I had bought a package of bulk sausage for another recipe. Because sausage is so rich, I planned to use only half of the package in that casserole.

Since bulk sausage only comes frozen, having thawed it, I had to use it up. So this

Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

time I made the ever-changing tetrazzini casserole with sausage. It was just as tasty as any of the earlier versions.

I finally realized the reason this casserole always tastes so good, no matter what I use, is the sauce that goes in it.

Made with mushrooms, onion, mushroom soup, cheese and Worcestershire sauce, it has a delicious and distinctive flavour, due in great part of the Worcestershire sauce.

This casserole also calls for cooked spaghetti which makes it a filling, delicious dish for a family meal, pot-luck supper or company dinner.

The version I give here describes how to make it with sausage. If you prefer, substitute one to two cups of cooked, cut-up turkey or chicken, or one can of tuna.

Sausage Tetrazzini 3 cups cooked, drained spaghetti (enough for four people)

1/2 package of bulk sausage meat, thawed 1 can sliced mushrooms, drained 1/2 onion, chopped 1 can cream of mushroom soup 2/3 cup milk 1/2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese 2 cups crushed corn flake crumbs Cook the sausage in a frying pan, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Drain off all the fat.

Add the mushrooms and onion to the pan, and cook until the onion is tender, about three to four minutes. Spread in the bottom of a large casserole dish.

Using either your microwave oven or a saucepan on the stove, combine the soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce and cheese. Heat, stirring often, until the cheese is melted.

Stir the cheese sauce into the spaghetti and pour this over the sausage.

Sprinkle the crushed corn flakes on tops, and bake at 350F for 30 to 40 minutes.

Serves four.

Raw milk warning issued EMC lifestyle – Health Canada has issued a warning, urging people not to drink raw (unpasteurized) milk “because it could contain bacteria that could make you seriously ill.”

Historically, unpasteurized milk has been linked to many serious diseases, says a Health Canada news release.

Several kinds of bacteria that can be found in raw milk, such as Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria, have been linked to foodborne illness outbreaks. These bacteria can cause serious health conditions, ranging from fever, vomiting and diarrhea to life-threatening kidney failure, miscarriage and death.

Children, pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk, says the release.

Due to the health concerns, Food and Drug Regulations require all milk sold in Canada be pasteurized to kill the organisms that may cause disease while keeping the nutritional properties of milk intact. The release warns that raw milk has not been treated to make it safe and also has not been fortified with vitamin D. The number of foodborne illness outbreaks from milk has dramatically decreased since pasteurization was made mandatory.

Health Canada notes that while pasteurized milk is the standard, there are some Canadians who continue to prefer raw milk because they believe it is healthier. “However, it is important to note that any possible benefits are far outweighed by the serious risk of illness from drinking raw milk.”

Safe handling of fresh produce EMC lifestyle - There are about 11 million cases of foodborne illness in Canada every year.

Handling fresh produce safely reduces the risk. Fresh fruits and vegetables do not naturally contain microorganisms – bacteria, parasites or viruses – that can make you sick. However, produce can become contaminated while in the field or through improper handling, storage, or transportation during or after harvest.

Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide recommends that Canadians eat a diet rich in a variety of fruits and vegetables. But, as with any food, it is important that fresh produce be handled and stored properly.

You can minimize the risk of foodborne illness by following these safety tips: • Separate: fresh produce can become contaminated when it comes into contact with raw meat, poultry, seafood and their juices. Keep fresh fruits and vegetables separate from raw

meat both at the store and at home - in your refrigerator, on cutting boards and countertops.

• Clean: before preparing food, always wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, using soap and hot water. Wash fresh fruits and vegetables gently under cool running water. Fruit and vegetables that are usually peeled or cut, like melons, oranges and cucumbers, also need to be washed gently under cool, running water.

Also, scrub fruits and vegetables that have a firm surface, such as melons, potatoes and carrots. Do not soak fruits and vegetables in a sink full of water. The sink can harbour bacteria, which can be transferred to anything in it. It is not necessary to use anything other than water to wash produce.

• Chill: store fresh fruits and vegetables that need refrigeration in the refrigerator at 4C or below. All cut fruits and vegetables should be refrigerated and should not be kept at room temperature for longer than two hours.

Oh how many things we meant to tell you, All the words we wanted to say, We never got to tell you, Before you left us that August day.

You were brave, generous and kind, A loving wife, friend and mother, A heart of gold like yours There will never be another.

What can we tell you That you don’t already know?

Please know that we love you And that we miss you so.

BERTRAND, Violet

In loving memory of a dear wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who passed away five years ago on August 20, 2007.

We cling to the memories of the love and laughter, The joy in the togetherness that you shared has made us strong, You were someone that all of us could talk to.

You were always there when we needed a helping hand.

Your smile, the funny things you said that made us laugh, Until the tears ran down our faces, We will always cherish those memories.

Our love for you will never fade away, You are gone but not forgotten, We will hold you in our hearts forever.

Lovingly remembered and sadly missed, Dennis and Jeannette, Wayne and Gayle. Tina, Kerri, Brian, Nathan, Tyler and Cole CL371403

Mary plots revenge on Emerson EMC lifestyle - My brother Emerson had a way of getting me to do his bidding.

Unless I was really on my toes, I often paid dearly for not doing exactly what he wanted.

But that hot summer day, when all the chores had been done in the barns, my three brothers were attempting to play ball on the ďŹ&#x201A;at piece of barnyard behind the silo.

With only three of them, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much chance of a very good game.

Emerson wandered over to where I was sitting in the grape arbour with my dolls spread out around me.

The shade of the vines made a nice cool spot for me to spend an hour or so at my favourite pastime: playing house or school, with my beloved dolls.

They came in all shapes and sizes, some with soft rag-stuffed bodies, one with a beautiful china face, a couple showing their age and missing a part, but all dear to me.

Emerson sidled closer, and I knew what he wanted.

PLAY BALL

He wanted me to head over to the silo and play ball.

Well, not really play ... what he wanted was me to run and catch the ball when one of them batted it out beyond the yard.

Well, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t having any part of a game in which I would never be allowed an even role!

Forget that I could never hit the ball anyway!

It was the very idea that I was just to be there for their convenience, and I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t having any part of it. I turned him down ďŹ&#x201A;at.

Emerson stomped away to where Everett and Earl were waiting to see if I could be talked into being their fall guy.

Well, they had another thought coming.

And to make sure they knew I meant business, I decided to have a tea party with my dolls.

I propped them all up in a sitting position, and headed into the house to bring out my little set of tin dishes.

I decided I might as well make a little lunch while I was at it, and so stopped long enough to butter a slice of bread, cut it into small pieces, and headed back out to the grape arbour.

What I saw, turned my blood to ice water!

There was just an empty space where I had left my dolls!

I knew without looking that three sets of eyes would be turned in my direction.

I ďŹ&#x201A;ew into a rage, and cleared the rail fence in one leap.

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories

BY MARY COOK

Of course, the three brothers denied everything, but a dead giveaway was when Emerson said if I played ball for a bit, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tell me where they were.

Well, when he saw I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interest in that deal, and was heading into the house to tell Mother, he pointed towards the sand box ... gravel from our pit Father had brought up on the stone boat for me to play in.

There buried in the sand, and all in a row like little soldiers, Emerson had buried every doll right up to its neck with just the heads sticking out of the sand.

I clawed until I got them all out, and it must have taken me an hour to wash them clean of the sand and grit.

I ran into the house to tell Mother what my hateful brother had done ... I was pretty sure Everett and Earl would have had no part in the deed.

Mother said it was too hot to sort out my problems with my brothers, and besides, she said, I knew what she thought of tattlers.

That meant unless you actually showed signs of being physically wounded with blood running from your nose, she wanted no part of our childhood battles!

So dealing with Emerson was to be left to my own devices. I plotted in earnest how I could best get rid of him without showing signs that I had done it.

Poison was an option, but I had no idea what a poison was, or if we had any on the farm. But I realized I was no match for my big strapping brother.

PROTECTING HER DOLLS

I would just have to protect my dolls as best I could.

That night, I did as I always did before I went upstairs to bed.

I put them in the parlour where they slept every night, telling each and everyone of them they were safe there.

But after I went to bed, and my sister Audrey had blown out the lamp, I lay perfectly still until I was sure she was asleep beside me,

Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Expo coming soon to Mississippi Mills EMC events - After great success last year, the Almonte Baptist Church, Mills Community Support Corporation and the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society of Lanark County have partnered to organize the second annual Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Expo in Mississippi Mills Thursday, Sept. 13.

This year the popular event is moving to a larger venue, the Almonte Community Centre.

It and will kick-off at 9:30 a.m. and close at 3 p.m. with free admission.

A new key Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Expo sponsor, the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP), is in the process of setting up a Lanark Chapter and will host a general membership meeting to establish a board of directors.

The meeting will be held at 3:30 p.m. in the upper arena hall and will be open to the public.

The Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Expo is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;showcase of servicesâ&#x20AC;? for people aged 50 plus and their caregivers.

You can expect exhibitors from social service agencies, support groups, retirement homes, local attractions, pharmacies, seniors

activity groups and others.

While residents are often not familiar with the assorted services that are available in the region, the organizers hope the Expo will generate greater awareness of area supports, services and opportunities.

Seminars and entertainment will be provided throughout the day and door prizes will be drawn.

A light lunch will be available for a small fee.

FUNDS FOR HOSPICE

A portion of the Expoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proceeds will be donated in support of the Mississippi Mills Hospice Initiative.

For more information on the seniors Expo, contact Jan Watson, Mills Community Support, 613-256-4700 or via email jwatson@themills. on.ca; Margo Smith, Almonte Baptist Church, 613-256-9162, margos@ripnet.com; or Karen Timmons, Alzheimer Society, alzktimmons@ gmail.com.

and then I crept downstairs, and I had to make two trips, but I carried every last doll upstairs and put them under my bed where I knew they would be safe.

I ďŹ nally fell asleep, still plotting how I was going to deal with Emerson and make him pay dearly for his dastardly deed.

My View From Island View Grandparentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Strange Habits So I was giving some thought the other day to Grandparents but not in the way you may think. I was more pondering the unusual habits they had. You know the ones I am talking about.

The strange things you would see them doing that made absolutely no sense but you thinkâ&#x20AC;Śahhhâ&#x20AC;Śthat makes perfect sense now! Some of these practices were cute but some were just down right weird.

I am not sure what is so fascinating about Kleenex but when I was going through my grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothes after she passed away, I found Kleenex in every pant, skirt and shirt pocket she owned. I can distinctly remember my other grandmother always kept several pieces hidden away in her brassiere. StufďŹ ng was certainly not necessary but I now know that you can never be sure when a drippy nose will begin. I now understand to have a Kleenex at the ready creates peace of mind. Funny, I catch myself placing handfuls of the stuff in my pockets anytime I leave home.

A friend of mine recalled that her grandmother labelled everything with the names of her relatives who should receive the items in the event of her untimely death. She found this a little creepy but

Island View Retirement Suites

when grandma passed away, it made life easier for all when they knew for certain exactly what grandma wanted them to have.

One resident at Island View recalls her grandfather collecting garden cuttings from every place he travelled around the world. That would probably not be allowed now due to import restrictions on plant material but I bet he had one of the best gardens in his community.

Ken, our volunteer, remembers his grandpa instructing him to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go through everythingâ&#x20AC;? after his grandma passed away because she had the habit of hiding various sums of money around their apartment. When the time came, Ken remembers ďŹ nding cash under carpets, in coat pockets, buried underneath rose scented paper in dresser drawers and ďŹ nding money wrapped in plastic bags in the motor section of their refrigerator!

A relative of a resident at Island View shared with me that her grandmother always kept a safety pin securely pinned to her knickers because you never know when you will need the quick repair

that a safety pin can provide.

Listening to death notices on the radio was another odd habit. Whenever these notices would come on the radio, no matter what was going on, my friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandma would say loudly â&#x20AC;&#x153;QUIETâ&#x20AC;? and no one was allowed to talk until all the deaths were announced.

But the best one yet that I heard, was a residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandma who used to set an alarm clock when her father was courting her mother. If he overstayed his welcome, the alarm would ring loudly warning him it was time to take his leave.

What kind of quirky behaviours do you have that are making your kids or grandchildren think, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow that is really weird!â&#x20AC;?

Keith Oattes of McNab-Braeside celebrates his victory in the Ontario Seniors Game last week. With him are second-place finisher John Pickard, right, from Haliburton and thirdplace Thomas Bruck, left, from Windsor.

Cyclist rides to victory at Seniors Games John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC sports – Cyclist Keith Oattes has won another gold medal, thanks in part to his involvement in the Arnprior cycling MAFIA. Oattes was victorious in the 55-to-65 age group cyclist race at the Ontario Seniors Games in Brampton last week. It’s the second straight year he has captured gold in the Games.

The McNab-Braeside resident qualified for the Ontario Games by winning the cycling race at the Renfrew County Seniors Games June 7 in Arnprior.

At the provincials, he rode 20 kilometres in two time trails over two days (10 km a day), beating out his nearest competitor, John Pickard from Haliburton, by one and a half minutes.

“It’s not a traditional cycling race, you race against the clock,” he explained.

Last year’s victory qualified Oattes for the Canada 55+ Games that are being held in Sydney, Nova Scotia Aug. 29 to Sept. 1. “Based on last year’s win, I get to represent Arnprior at the Nationals next week,” he noted.

This year’s repeat victory at the Ontario Games qualifies him for the 2013 Nationals in Victoria, B.C. Oattes is a regular member of an informal

Arnprior-based cycling club. Members call themselves the MAFIA (Men Against Fat in Arnprior).

The MAFIA group goes riding most weekends, always starting from Arnprior. The rides are mapped out ahead of time, with different routes ranging between 60 and 110 kilometres around the Valley.

Participants range from 6 to 16 riders, said Oattes. “There is no strict rules, no pressure … it’s an informal group.”

He said the added visibility of being in a group helps keep the riders safe on area roads.

“For most part the traffic is pretty kind,” he said.

He noted being able to begin rides in Arnprior is a plus, as riding club members in Ottawa usually have to drive up to 100 km to get away from heavy traffic before starting their rides.

Oattes, who works at Arnprior Aerospace, has been riding regularly for the past 10 years, in which time he estimates he has biked at least 5,000 kilometres.

He has fond memories of riding a bicycle as a child. “When you were a kid, anywhere you wanted to go, you rode a bike.”

Anyone interested in riding with Arnprior’s MAFIA group should contact Harold Camblin for more details.

Volunteers needed for broomball championships THERESA FRITZ/METROLAND

With the hockey season just around the corner, fans will be reminded that the 2012 World Broomball Championships are coming to the Nick Smith Centre and neighbouring arenas, because the event logo has been inset into the ice of Arena A. The championships will take place Oct. 29 to Nov. 3 at different Ottawa Valley venues, with the finals set for the Nick Smith Centre. More volunteers are needed to organize and run the tournament, which will feature up to 64 teams. Those interested in volunteering for the event should visit www.2012broomball.ca. Volunteer duties will include a wide array of activities and skills and organizers will do their best to accommodate individuals in an area in which they are most interested.

Valley Pride expands program

LUCY HASS/METROLAND

The full field and a crew of dedicated volunteers gather for the start of the 10th annual Jon Brunette Memorial Golf Tournament at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club Saturday afternoon.

EMC sports - The Arnprior Basketball Club, Valley Pride, is offering a new program for Grade 3-4 (U-10) girls.

The program presently has four competitive teams with athletes primarily from Renfrew and Arnprior.

For years parents who had children in L’il Warriors in the spring session have been seeking an opportunity for them to play basketball for a longer season.

Last year the club introduced an Atom Club. This team, grade 5-6, played 25 games and has created a base to be more successful in future years.

Brunette spirit lives on through sport Lucy.hass@metroland.com

EMC sports - The dynamic spirit of Jon Brunette was alive Saturday in the field of 76 players who teed it up for the 10th annual Jon Brunette Memorial golf tournament.

“The tournament went great,” says Brent McQueen, one of the key organizers of the popular event. “We had 76 golfers come out for the day and raised $3,000 for the Jon Brunette Memorial Fund that will be sure to benefit the children of West Carleton,” he said.

“Everyone had a great time, lots of laughs, prizes and are looking forward to next year already,” he said.

The winners for 2012 were Andrew Acheson, Matt MacMillan, Robb Riddell and Todd Wilson.

Brunette’s mother Valerie is pleased with the strong community support and dedicated team of volunteers behind the event. “It’s amazing,” she said. “All his (Jon’s) friends are just so wonderful.” She also noted how her other son, Eric, and his friends were also playing in the tournament.

Funds raised through the scholarship created in her son Jon’s memory have allowed her to support other players like Ottawa Valley Titan

Colby Cochrane. “It’s very rewarding for me.

It’s wonderful,” she said of how Jon’s memory is generating so much good.

The Irish Hills Golf and Country Club in Carp was the scene of all the action which featured 18 holes of golf, a putting challenge and long-drive competition. There were also prizes for closest to the pin, the jug and the disk.

The tournament was established in March 2003 after 20-year-old Jon Brunette lost his life suddenly in a snowmobile accident.

Brunette played his minor hockey in West Carleton, with the Midget Ottawa Valley Titans, and three years of Junior B with the Arnprior Packers. He was also active in baseball, soccer and kick boxing.

Tournament organizers Brent McQueen and Lindsay Morin also note how, just before his death, Brunette had become a very proud volunteer firefighter at Station 66 in Dunrobin.

The event was also in memory of Malcolm, Jon and Eric’s dad, who passed away in August 2007.

All proceeds from the event, sponsored in part by Chez 106 Classic Rock and Irish Hills, go to the Jon Brunette Memorial Fund that helps children in the community.

Packers to hold try-out camps starting tonight Arnprior picked to host Fall Classic at Nick Smith Centre in October EMC sports - The Arnprior Packers Junior B squad will begin the defence of its Valley Division title with try-out camps today (Thursday) and Tuesday, Aug. 28.

The two camps will run from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Nick Smith Centre.

The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League team has a new owner this year in Marco Scapillati, president of M. Scapillati Flooring in Manotick, who has coached minor hockey in the past.

It also has a familiar face back with former coach Shawn Patrick becoming the team’s new general manager.

However, the coaching crew is back, with Bill Griese and his staff expecting to have a strong team again.

The biggest holes to fill will likely be in goal with Matt Couvrette moving on, and at forward where four top forwards were lost, three as overagers and on the completion of a trade last year.

The Packers won both the EOJHL Valley Division regular season and playoff titles last season, with 41 wins and 12 losses. They lost the Valley-Metro final 4-2 to Gatineau.

The Packers tentatively scheduled three preseason games starting off Sunday, Sept. 2 with a 4:30 p.m. home tilt against the Caledonia Corvairs of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League.

Arnprior then plays a home-and-home set with Valley Division rivals Stittsville Royals, with the Nick Smith Centre game scheduled

for Saturday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m.

The Stittsville game is set for Sunday, Sept.

9 at 2 p.m.

The Packers opens the 2012-13 EOJHL regular season on the road in Renfrew Friday, Sept. 14 with an 8 p.m. start and then travel to Stittsville for a 2:30 p.m. game Sunday, Sept.

16.

Arnprior’s home opener will be against Almonte Thunder at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21.

FALL CLASSIC IN ARNPRIOR

In releasing its 2012-13 schedule, the league announced the EOJHL Fall Classic not open the season, but will take place in October.

And this year’s host rink will not be in Ot-

tawa, but rather be Arnprior’s Nick Smith Centre.

Hockey scouts are expected to flock to Arnprior the week after Thanksgiving (Oct. 12-14) for the inter-division games.

Starting this year’s event will be a match-up between the host Packers and the Brockville Tikis on the Friday at 6 p.m.

The host team will also be featured in a key match-up on Saturday, right after the opening ceremonies at 12:30 p.m. against last season’s D. Arnold Carson Memorial Trophy winners Casselman Vikings.

The regular season ends on Feb. 10 for the Rideau-St Lawrence Conference and a week later on Feb. 17 for the Metro-Valley Conference.

Arnprior athlete wins gold at Nationals EMC sports – Arnprior athlete Jacob Plunkett won gold and bronze medals at the Legion National Track and Field Championships in Charlottetown last week.

Plunkett captured bronze in the under-18 100-metre hurdles and gold as a member of the under-18 4 x 100 relay. team. The Ontario team set a National Legion meet record of 42.28.

653 cadets honoured at 55th annual inspection Lucy Hass

54 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, August 23, 2012

“A very distinguished squadron, you are.”

That was the message from reviewing officer Lt.-Col. J.R. Shields to the 653 Champlain Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron at its season-ending inspection.

But he also had a question.

“Are you having fun?” he asked. “That’s what it’s all about.”

Foremost, Shields congratulated the cadets on their decision to join.

“That decision is an important one,” he said, noting how it shows one’s desire to be engaged in the community, and an interest in air aviation and the Canadian Forces.

Shields also spoke directly to the parents, thanking them for encouraging their children, and to the AFAC Wing for its support of the cadet movement for 55 years.

Commanding Officer Captain D. Mark Shannon of the Arnprior area called the annual inspection “a chance to provide you only a small window on what we do here.”

“I am very proud of our organization, our facilities, our program and especially our cadets,” Shannon said.

A busy training year included gliding in North Bay, orienteering exercises at CFB Petawawa, an inter-squadron sports day with the Arnprior army cadets, and an air crew survival exercise on Calumet Island.

“This year we added something new to the program: biathlon. By all accounts, it was a hit,” said Shannon.

“With the support of detachment and our sponsoring committee, we were able to secure the necessary rifles and build the proper facilities to store them safely and legally.

“This year we were also fortunate to add some Reg Force expertise to our staff. Cpl Sean Arsenault, a new volunteer from 427 Tactical Helicopter Squadron, also joined and is our new drill instructor. Although he joined us late in the year, he has already made great improvements in the quality of our drill in a very short space in time.”

As the program closes down for the summer, Shannon said the fall will bring exciting new additions. Among them will be a flight simulator, the funding for which was approved by the Wing sponsoring committee.

“These simulators move with the cadets control movements, and combined with the visuals of the three monitors, the cadets get a more realistic flying experience,” Shannon said.

The group is also seeking pipe and drum instruction and hopes the cadets will once again have a squadron pipe and drum band.

“While this training year is just winding down, our recruiting drive is just beginning for another year. The gliding program, flying scholarships, the national summer courses and weekend exercises truly makes the air cadet program the best of the best youth programs

in Canada. For this coming year we had added a staff member who will be dedicated to retention and recruiting. I hope we can boost our cadet numbers significantly.

Captain Shannon thanked a long list of staff, cadets and volunteers, in particular the AFAC 433 Wing.

“We have first-class facilities that are the envy of other squadrons. I’ve met several commanding officers during my many weeks away from my family attending the mandatory courses necessary to become CO. “There are many examples of squadrons that parade out of the trunks of cars and use basements of homes as supply rooms. The ‘Wing’ provides much of our funding and these incredible facilities in which to house our squadron,” Shannon said.

“In closing, I congratulate the cadets on another year of accomplishments and invite all of you back next year, for another year of friends, fun and adventure.”

Sunday’s inspection also featured performances by the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums, and closed with cadet demonstrations and displays and refreshments.

A number of 2012 awards were also presented.

The Gordon Butler Memorial Award for best first-year female cadet went to LAC Emily Croft.

The award, presented by reviewing officer Lt.-Col Shields, is based on best uniform scores, attendance and someone who best exemplifies the cadet.

The Anne Leblanc Memorial Award honours the memory of former president of the 433 Wing of the Air Force Association of Canada. She was also a past member of the 653 Champlain Squadron sponsoring committee The award for best first-year male cadet was presented by 433 Wing president Ron Price to LAC Nicolas Leclaire.

The Herb Rusheleau Memorial Award is given to a senior cadet who sets the best example for the junior cadets, showing deportment, leadership and enthusiasm.

Rusheleau’s daughter Susan O’Neil presented the award to Flight Cpl. Connor Croft.

The Royal Canadian Legion Cadet Medal of Excellence recognizes individual endeavours in citizenship that meet or enhance the aims and objectives of the cadet movement.

Ron Kilby of the Royal Canadian Legion presented the honour to Flight Cpl. Zachary Pudsey. The Air Cadet Service Medal is awarded by the Air Cadet League to cadets who have completed four continuous calendar years of service with the Royal Canadian Cadets.

Squadron director Susan Antler, representing the Air Cadet League of Canada, Ontario Provincial Committee, presented medals to WO2 Denis Bruyere, Flight Sgt. Connor Bennett and Sgt. Alex Cremer.

The air cadets will hold a registration for a new season in early September.

Study magnitude of drought impact before giving help: farmers Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Local farmers are affected by the drought in different ways, so any help the City of Ottawa can give will have to reflect that, producers say.

After visiting the Navan Fair over the Aug. 10 weekend, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson sent a memo asking city manager Kent Kirkpatrick to look at ways the city could â&#x20AC;&#x153;dig a bit deeper to provide whatever extra measure of help may be possibleâ&#x20AC;? for drought-stricken agricultural producers.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finance and economic develop-

While cash crops are suffering, market produce isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing too poorly, according to Chris Rochon of Rochon Gardens in Edwards.

The Rochons have an irrigation system for their fruit and vegetable fields as well as greenhouses so they have been able to draw on a nearby river to ensure their eight hectares of crops donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t die. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the fortunate ones,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The constant need to rotate irrigation systems will result in higher costs at the end of the year, Rochon said.

That might be balanced out by increased revenue if there is more demand for their produce due to other producersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; smaller yields, but

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to say, he added.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it will be important for the city manager to bring back a detailed report, said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may not be 100 per cent clear what those issues are yet,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Part of the challenge is that farmers are usually reluctant to come to the city with their hand out, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes hard to judge if they could use help and how much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily talk about their issues,â&#x20AC;? Moffatt said.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to dig down and find out what the impact could be, since farming is a significant industry in Ottawa, he said.

Thom van Eeghen of the Elk Ranch in West Carleton said his herd will likely have to be reduced by 30 per cent by the spring because he will almost certainly run out of feed.

He is already using his winter stores of food for his elk, van Eeghen said.

While his operation is under pressure, van Eeghen said the city should undertake a thorough study to find out the magnitude of the issue before attempting to find a solution.

He is advocates looking to other municipalities to find out how they have offered assistance.

60 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, August 23, 2012

EMC events – The North Lanark Highland Games is a signature summer event in Mississippi Mills, celebrating Scottish and Celtic culture and heritage in the Ottawa Valley.

Turning 29, this year’s games take place this Saturday, Aug. 25 at the North Lanark Agricultural Society (NLAS) fairgrounds in Almonte.

Expect an overabundance of concessions: clothing, crafts, food and refreshments, genealogical information and souvenirs.

“It’s a rain-or-shine event, which has something for everyone – a great day outing for the whole family in the friendly town of Almonte,” said Becky Virgin, North Lanark Highland Games publicist.

Athletes with varying levels of experience will participate, and returning in 2012 are the children’s mini-games in the afternoon, with events such as wellie hurling.

“This year we are pleased to announce the theme of the games is promoting health and wellness,” said Virgin.

Events commence promptly at 9 a.m., and the official opening ceremonies at 1 p.m., with closing ceremonies and the final massed bands at 5:30 p.m.

Everyone is invited to stay and kick his or her heels up at a ceilidh (Scottish party), with live musical entertainment

by Corkery Road (starting at 4 p.m.). The fun takes place at the beer garden. Corkery Road is a four-piece Celtic band that specializes in highenergy, infectious and traditional music.

“We are excited to welcome (Ottawa native) George Chiappa as our guest of hon-

our,” said Virgin. “He is a local athlete who has been involved with the heavy events at the North Lanark Highland Games since it began.”

Once again the sports event welcomes the Cameron Highlanders as the duty band.

They served as first duty band in 1984, then again in 1988, 1993, 1998 and 2008.

Under the direction of Pipe Major Master Warrant Officer A.B. Clark, the Pipes and Drums of the Camerons have performed throughout Canada and the United States at an assortment of events.

The have also appeared at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Over the course of one day, more than 20 pipe bands are put through their paces, in excess of 100 Highland dancers defy gravity, and “giants” hurl telephone pole-sized cabers, as well as stones, hammers and sheaves around the infield.

Tickets for the North Lanark Highland Games can be purchased at the gate at $17 for adults and $6 for children between the ages of six and 13.

There are no advance sales for children’s tickets, but tickets for adults are $14 and can be purchased at Mill Street Books in Almonte or Nicholson’s Sundries in Pakenham.

Plenty of parking is available at the Almonte and District Community Centre (arena), with a free shuttle service to and from the fairgrounds.

“This year we are thrilled to be implementing a few new things in which we are aiming to expand on next year for the 30th anniversary of the games,” said Virgin.

For further information, email info@almontehighlandgames.com.

KENJEN PIG RACING

There is a large childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s section, so if the kids are getting bored, why not have them make some crafts. Call Judy Dobec at 613-432-5331 for details.
