School back Tuesday despite teacher unrest John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – Renfrew County students should expect a relatively normal return to school Tuesday, despite unrest among teachers upset over what they claim is the province “bullying” them with legislation to be passed this week.

In a news release after its meeting Monday, the Renfrew County District School Board said it expects “business as usual” when classes start Sept. 4.

Despite ongoing labour negotiations between the Ontario government and the province’s teachers, school board officials are planning for the start of classes at all 31 public school boards as scheduled.

“From our perspective, we expect school will start on Sept. 4 as usual,” board chairman Dave Shields said Monday.

Despite the legislation introduced at Queen’s Park Monday, the Renfrew County school board continues to negotiate with its teachers.

“We have started negotiations and we have more sessions booked for September and October with our local employee groups,” Shields said.

“We only have the resources the government has made available and we have to work with the funding that has been provided.”

School board officials are also monitoring the legislation, which is expected to be passed by week’s end, as the Conservatives have indicated they would support the minority Liberal government in voting for the Putting Students First Act that bans teacher strikes for two years.

The NDP is opposing the legislation.

Passing the act, which places a two-year pay freeze on teachers and ends sick time payouts on retirement, will prevent the automatic rollover of teacher contracts set to expire on Aug. 31.

The new agreement would lead to salary increases of 5.5 per cent for many teachers, which is unacceptable considering the deficit problem the province is mired in, says the government.

CANADA’S LONGEST LASTING LINE OF PICK-UPS

“We are following closely the developments at Queen’s Park,” said Shields.

The Renfrew County Catholic School Board is also optimistic its schools will return to normal operation and it will be successful in negotiating a local contract with its teachers.

Unlike public board teachers in the province, the Catholic teachers have agreed in principle to a deal with the government.

At its meeting Monday, the Catholic Board concentrated on highlighting major improvements to its schools over the summer.

Included were St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Calabogie, which had two sections of its roof repaired as well as some exterior paint work completed; elevator refurbishment at St. James Catholic School in Eganville; and final preparations for the opening of the new St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School in Petawawa.

Zombies plan ‘Prior lurch

Zombies want to invade streets Saturday before Halloween Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Two teams took to the Big Bike Monday to raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The Antrim Truck Stop team was riding for another reason - in memory of a good friend.

– Page 19

EMC news – If you go out on the street Oct. 27, make sure your brains are safely tucked away. There could be some hungry zombies on the prowl.

At the Aug. 27 Arnprior council meeting, town resident Tina Carr asked local legislators if she could host the town’s first zombie walk.

Zombie walks sees people (resembling the undead) dressed in tattered clothing with make-up meant to give a ghastly complexion and moving with a laboured gait.

Food of choice? Human brains. Sole purpose for existing?

Same.

Reeve Walter Stack chuckled and asked if Mayor David Reid could join. Reid’s good natured response was: “I could just go as myself.”

Carr welcomed Reid and all councillors to participate. She says she has 40 people already confirmed.

Her plan includes meeting at the Giant Tiger parking lot on that day, the Saturday before Halloween, at 6 p.m., to register participants. The walk will end at the Legion on Daniel Street.

Welcome to high school Many of the 165 Grade 9s coming into Arnprior District High School this year were welcomed to the school Wednesday morning Aug. 29 by 35 red-shirted Link Crew senior students and four staff members. Link Crew is a mentoring program with the Grade 12 members each taking close to 10 Grade 9 students under their wing. They are instrumental in getting the newcomers involved in school life, from social events and dances to sports. They also provide academic follow-up checks if needed throughout the school year. “The hope is they (new students) will be more connected to their school community,� said guidance counsellor Phil Moore. ADHS opens for another year at 8:20 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4. School runs to 2:25 p.m. The local elementary schools have various start times because of the staggered bells system. St. Joseph’s begins at 8:15 a.m., Walter Zadow at 8:20 a.m., McNab and A.J. Charbonneau at 9:15 a.m. and John XXIII at 9:20 a.m.

NEWS

Fires in woods at Off to university: keep your student safe Galilee worry police EMC news - Arnprior OPP is asking the public to keep an eye out for someone who might be setting fires in the trees at the Galilee Centre.

With such a dry summer, a fire on the Centre property or the adjacent Gillies Grove could have particularly dire results.

Arnprior OPP report that on Saturday, Aug. 25 at 5:15 p.m., they and the Arnprior Fire Department were called to a fire in a wooded area at the Galillee Centre.

Fire crews acted quickly to get the fire under control before major damage was done.

It is the third fire in that area in one month.

Information indicates that the fires may not have been accidental, say police.

Some reports suggest the fires might be linked to students celebrating the imminent return to school.

If anyone has any information regarding the fires, they are asked to contact the Arnprior OPP at 613-623-3131; the Arnprior Fire service at 623-4231, ext. 250; or Crime

stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A police pursuit in the wee hours of Saturday on Madawaska Boulevard resulted in a collision, but no injuries resulted.

Arnpror OPP report that on Aug. 25 at 2:23 a.m., a 25year-old man of no fixed address attempted to evade police after failing to remain at the scene of a collision.

The vehicle finally came to rest on a hydro pole on Highway 17 on Arnprior’s border with the City of Ottawa.

The motorist has been charged with several offences including impaired driving and driving with more than the legal limit of alcohol; obstructing police; flight from police; dangerous operation of a motor vehicle; breach of probation; driving a motor vehicle while under suspension; and using plates not authorized for vehicle.

He has been remanded in custody and will re-appear via video today (Thursday) in Pembroke.

He did not suffer any injuries in the crash.

EMC news – With students heading off to university or college, the Arnprior Fire Department is urging parents to ensure they find fire-safe accommodation for them.

The Fire Prevention Office of the Arnprior Fire Department will be posting the safety information in municipal buildings to raise awareness.

The department points out that parents have many issues to consider when seeking suitable accommodation for a daughter or son attending college or university . They include: • Smoke Alarms - It is the law in Ontario to have working smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas.

The law applies to single family, semidetached, townhomes and apartments (including basement apartments), whether owner-occupied or rented.

Rooming houses have specific regulations about smoke alarms or fire alarm systems. In addition to smoke alarms within each unit or suite, apartment buildings and student residences operated by the school may also have a building fire alarm system.

Make sure the landlord, administrator or superintendent identifies and explains the fire alarm and detection features in the building and unit.

• Carbon Monoxide Alarms - The Ontario Building Code requires carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in new buildings that contain a fuel-fired appliance.

However, many existing buildings were constructed prior to this requirement and

may not be equipped with CO alarms. If the building has a fuel-fired (natural gas, oil, propane or wood) appliance, a CO alarm should be installed.

• Fire Separations - Students often find accommodation in older homes that have been converted to apartments or rooming houses. At the time of the conversion, a building permit should have been obtained to ensure that fire safety features such as proper exits and fire separations between units are provided.

• Electrical Safety - Many buildings offering lodging to students are older homes that may not have upgraded wiring. Outlets in bathrooms or within one metre of the kitchen sink should be the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) type. Consider the number and location of electrical outlets in the room or apartment. There should be enough outlets so that appliances such as lamps, computer equipment and stereos can be operated without the use of extension cords.

If extension cords can’t be avoided, use multi-outlet power bars that are approved and provide surge protection and a circuit breaker. Avoid overloaded circuits and octopus wiring.

• Exits - It is important to consider how people will escape from a room or apartment in an emergency.

Every room or apartment requires adequate exits that will permit unobstructed escape from the building.

All windows and doors should open fully and easily.

Stairways and hallways must not be

used for storage as this can pose serious fire safety hazards.

• Fire Escape Plans - In a fire emergency, everyone must know what to do and where to go.

Large apartment buildings and student residence buildings require a fire safety plan, which informs the occupants about emergency procedures. Smaller apartment buildings and houses that have been converted to apartments or lodging rooms may not have a fire safety plan, but it’s a good idea to ensure there are two ways out of the unit.

• Security - Some property owners install bars on windows as a security measure.

While this may seem appealing from a security point of view, it can prevent students from escaping in an emergency situation.

Security bars on windows should be equipped with a quick-opening device on the inside so the bars can be removed quickly.

If you have any concerns about fire safety in student accommodation, contact the local fire department.

The Arnprior Fire Department also encourages parents to discuss basic fire safety rules with their children before dropping them off at their new dwellings.

Cooking, candles, smoking, space heaters, electrical equipment and parties can all be a fire hazard if safety rules are not followed.

Make sure they determine their new homes have working smoke alarms.

More all day kindergarten added, teachers hold protest Continued from front

view, Palmer Rapids.

The Board also continues to sponsor full day programs at Westmeath, Pinecrest, Whitney, Madawaska and has added General Lake, bringing the Board to 74 per cent of schools providing all-day Kindergarten.

Director of Education Roger Clarke welcomed the new early childhood educators as they form teams with teachers.

The teams and their school administrators attended training sessions in late June and have been preparing diligently for the board’s youngest students, he noted.

Over the summer, the board’s plant department has been working on capital improvements at Central and QE, among others “to facilitate these new and exciting learning environments,” Clarke added.

Clarke also confirmed that there is wifi coverage in all the board’s schools, allowing them to take advantage of mobile technology such as laptops, netbooks and iPads as well making it possible for staff and students to bring in and use

personal wireless devices.

Final testing to measure the exact signal strength in each corner of every classroom is underway.

TEACHER PROTEST

Thousands of teachers, including several from Renfrew County, rallied at Queen’s Park Tuesday “to defend the education system and stand up for school board support workers.”

The rally was called by the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) with CUPE Ontario and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) taking part in the event to express their “dismay” in proposed legislation.

They maintain it will strip school board workers of their basic rights to bargain collectively with their employers.

“Ontario was a leader in education, but that is no longer the case when the democratic rights of educators who make the system work are

sacrificed for political gain of a Liberal party seeking a majority,” said ETFO President Sam Hammond.

“Collective bargaining is a problem-solving process,” said CTF President Paul Taillefer.

“Contracts by government decree have no place in a democratic society. A legislated settlement, such as the one proposed by the McGuinty government, is an abuse of the province’s legislative authority.”

Teacher representatives claim the legislation, coupled with six months of “belligerent demands” by the provincial government, is driving teachers and would-be teachers away from the profession.

Teacher retirements are up by 35 per cent while registrations at faculties of education are down by 35 per cent, says the ETFO. “We will let this legislation pass, and bail this government out of the mess it has created,” said Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak.

“But the Premier needs to learn a lesson from all this: He can’t spend what he doesn’t have.”

“The renovation projects support that part of ‘Our Vision’ that speaks to safe school environments characterized by warmth, hospitality, good humour and joy,” reported director of education Michele Arbour.

“We welcome our students to learning environments that have been improved and refreshed.

It’s a very positive way to begin the 2012-2013 school year.”

Improvements were also completed at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School in Pembroke to accommodate its new full-day, every-day Early Learning Kindergarten program.

The Renfrew County public board has added full day Kindergarten at six more schools this year, including at Central and Queen Elizabeth schools in Renfrew.

The board now receives the extra Ministry of Education funding for a dozen full day Kindergarten programs.

There are already existing programs at McNab, Admaston, Beachburg, Cobden, High-

Super Readers enjoy airport visit

Arnprior Location

The Arnprior Public Library’s summer program Super Readers were rewarded with a fun-filled and informative trip to the Arnprior Airport Aug. 24. The 40 students were treated to lunch, saw three Mile High parachutists jump out of a plane, toured Chapman Aviation and saw planes landing and taking off. One of the highlights, right, was meeting parachutist Trevor Fitzpatrick, who is only three or four jumps away from 3,000. Above, Jensen Morgan helps Fitzpatrick fold up his parachute as Isabella Pasco looks on.

Above right, Danica Hassen finds out how heavy a parachute is. Far right, children’s librarian Carolyn Swayze and student helper Lucas Glofcheski watch Fitzpatrick, Grant Humphries and Jake Mason glide to earth.

Council asked to approve zombie walk Continued from front

Carr was told that even if 60 zombies showed up, they could stick to sidewalks so not to causing any traffic problems.

Were the town to shut down roads, a cost would be associated with police presence and staff working to put up barricades.

The idea is to avoid costs, because participants are encouraged to bring a nonperishable donation for the food bank.

“It’s basically a fun kind of event,” Carr said. “I encourage people to come out and participate or watch.”

Zombie walks have become common

in big cities in North America, with Toronto being Canada’s first in 2003. Ottawa has had a zombie walk for at least four years. However, they have been rare in smaller cities and towns.

Arnprior council will make a final decision at its Sept. 10 meeting.

Proposed riding changes to affect West Carleton, Lanark John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – Proposed changes to Canada’s federal ridings do not affect RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, but will mean a switch for Mississippi Mills residents if approved.

The Ontario Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission, one of 10 set up across the country, has proposed 15 more electoral districts for Ontario, including one new Nepean riding in the Ottawa area.

The changes will be the subject of public hearings this fall, including a two-day session in Ottawa’s Hampton Inn and Conference Centre Nov. 5-6, both starting at 10 a.m.

The proposed changes would see West Carleton split from Mississippi Mills with a Carleton-Kanata riding replacing the current Carleton-Mississippi Mills.

The Pakenham and Almonte area would move back into a Lanark-based riding. The far-flung Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington riding would become Lanark-Hastings-Frontenac, gaining a large rural area stretching from Bancroft to Stirling (Hastings), but losing its southern extension into Napanee and Odessa (Lennox and Addington).

There has been a move in Lanark to make the riding more manageable size-wise and bring Mississippi Mills back

into the fold.

The proposed increase in Ontario ridings from 106 to 121 is based on a rise in the province’s population from 11.4 million in 2001 to almost 12.9 million in the 2011 census.

The proposed new electoral districts would be located mostly in the Greater Toronto area with two additions each in Brampton, Durham, Markham and Toronto and one more in Mississauga, Oakville and York. The other four new ridings would be in Ottawa, Simcoe, Hamilton and Cambridge.

As well, despite a slight population decline, the commission has maintained 10 electoral districts in Northern Ontario as a minimum for its effective representation.

The province, which changed its ridings to coincide with the federal boundaries in the late 1990s, will have to decide whether to add ridings if the 15 new federal ones are approved as expected.

“Population shifts and increases, efforts to honour existing municipal boundaries whenever possible, and the establishment of 15 new electoral districts have required substantial adjustment to Ontario’s electoral map,” explained Mr. Justice George Valin, chair of the three-member commission.

Douglas Colbourne and Leslie Pal are the other members of the commission responsible for

readjusting the province’s federal electoral boundaries.

Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the commission’s main aim in redrawing boundaries is to divide the province into electoral districts as close to the average population as reasonably possible. The population of a district should remain within 25 per cent of the average once consideration is given to communities of interest or identity, and historical and geographic factors.

A commission can depart from the 25 per cent guideline to deal with extraordinary circumstances.

The commission makes final decisions about where the electoral boundaries will be located after consultation, giving the public and MPs an opportunity to express their views and participate in the process.

Everyone is invited to share their opinions on the proposed federal electoral map at any of the public hearings taking place in October and November. To make a presentation at a hearing, apply by Oct. 1 to the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario by e-mailing the commission’s secretary atontario@rcf.ca; by mail to 130 King St. West, 36th Floor, Suite 3670, P.O. Box 368, Toronto, Ont. M5X 2A2.

Youngster collects cans to help feed shelter cats Theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Collecting cans around town really is the catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meow for Charlie Flowers.

The seven-year-old has been collecting cans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from pop cans to beer cans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; since last May. His mother Penny takes them to a recycling business, which in turn gives her money for them.

The initiative, called Cans 4 Cats, sees Charlie taking the money and buying much needed cat food for the Arnprior and District Humane Society shelter.

He gets about 42 cents a can, which can add up to a lot of cat food.

The society, which operates a no-kill shelter, is a nonprofit organization serving the Town of Arnprior and surrounding area.

FULL OF CATS

The shelter is bursting with cats and food is desperately needed.

Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother says they read something about the shelter having a lot of cats and seeking donations to help feed them.

So her eager son decided to do something to help.

THERESA FRITZ/METROLAND

Charlie Flowers packs one of the big garbage bags of cans that he collects regularly to benefit the Arnprior and District Humane Society to his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto Glass van. Money received from selling the cans to a recycling company is used to buy cat food for the Arnprior and District Humane Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s given about nine bags of cat food in total since he started,â&#x20AC;? she says, referring to the larger cans of soft cat food donated.

Friends and family have also been helping out by offering up their cans for the cause, a cause that is so dear to Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart.

He is the proud owner of three cats of his own and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate when asked why he is doing this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because they (humane

society) have lots of cats (177 at last count),â&#x20AC;? he says with a smile, adding his favourite cat the shelter is one named Magnum.

Charlie is hoping the community will get involved and help him collect as many cans as possible, thus helping out the humane society and keeping the town clean.

So far he has received sponsorship from local businesses such as Giant Tiger, Anaron, Home Hardware and his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business, Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto Glass.

There are currently two drop-off locations for those wishing to donate their empty cans to Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cause.

They can be dropped off at the Arnprior and District Humane Society at 490 Didak Dr, although as of press deadline the shelter was temporarily closed to visitations due to a possible contagious feline infection.

Anyone interest in adoption or information about any of its animals during this time is asked to contact the shelter at 613-623-0916 about making a personal appointment.

Another drop-off location is Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto Glass at 11 William St. You can also call Charlie or his mother Penny at 613-622-5542 or his father Jim at 613-623-6499 for possible pick-up.

Penny says local schools involved in the venture included AJ Charbonneau, where Charlie is going into Grade 2, and St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic School.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Losing Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terry Fox Run to apathy would be a shame Arnprior is an active place.

The high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports teams had perhaps their best year in history with strong showings in track, football, basketball, soccer and rugby.

Response to a call for runners to practice for the upcoming Unity Run has been impressive.

So has registration for groups such as the Bluefish Swim Club.

When parents thought a lack of a recreation deal might limit access to the Nick Smith Centre for hockey and ringette players and figure skaters, they showed up in force at a McNabBraeside council meeting.

So why is the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terry Fox run in jeopardy? With all the active people around, there must be at least one or two that could spare some time to organize the event that honours a true Canadian hero and raises money for a good cause (although participation trumps fundraising in this case).

Rita Cloutier has organized the run for each of the 31 years itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been held.

If someone from the town, school, athletic organization, or a service club doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t step forward to keep the run alive Sept. 16, it will be a slap in the face to both Rita and Terry Fox. Please, Arnprior, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it happen.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Parking ticket cuts local shopping trip short To the editor: As an active supporter of spending dollars locally, I headed into downtown Arnprior only to be presented with a parking ticket.

Even though our downtown consists of roughly four square blocks, it seems you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t park and shop for more than two hours in one parking spot.

Even more astonishing was the fact that my ticket was issued at exactly two hours, to the minute, from when I left my car. Would you say â&#x20AC;Ś sitting duck?

So after leaving my car for two hours and 10 minutes and spending over $100 at Sandyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beauty Studio at a hair appointment, I emerged to find a $20 parking ticket.

Upon looking up the street, only 60 per cent of the parking spots were actually filled. Was this really necessary?

The plan was to continue shopping with my daughter for back-to-school items at Shoppers Drug Mart, In Trendz, and My Chocolate Factory, enjoy a leisurely stroll through our lovely stores that I rarely have time to visit, and end our mother/daughter afternoon with a cup of tea and some baked goodies at one of the fine bakeries we are fortunate to have.

Instead, I proceeded to the Town Hall to pay my fine, only to witness three other locals expressing their displeasure and contesting their fines, each indicating they had been parking the same way for years.

Needless to say, the afternoon was soured and Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown stores lost out on hundreds of dollars I was willing to spend.

Mr. Editor, has our small town grown and changed so much that the Town of Arnprior felt a need to contract a private company to strictly monitor and enforce its parking by-laws? Is this contractor held to certain quotas each month?

Does the Downtown Arnprior Business Improvement Area (BIA) support this new surge in effort to strictly enforce parking regulations in the downtown core and how does this support their efforts to promote it as a shopping destination?

These new actions being inflicted on our community may prove counteractive as locals decide to seek alternative shopping areas.

Sheri Kopetoske McNab-Braeside (A copy of this letter will be sent to the Arnprior BIA.)

Potato bug day story was a real whopper To the editor: Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;potato bug dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in her recent column (Chronicle Guide EMC, Aug. 2) is obviously a piece of fiction.

Anyone who grows potatoes knows that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just pick bugs off the potato plants one day of the summer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a daily job that starts as soon as the plants appear above ground and lasts for at least eight weeks. I do it twice daily.

Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire family picked bugs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; five children and Mother and Father - and if they worked quickly they could finish the whole potato patch in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;better part of a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whopper if you ask me. If they were lucky, the potato bugs were finished for the year.

Their potato patch was about twice the size of their garden. What, an acre maybe? How could it take seven people the better part of a day to pick bugs? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fib! With so many hands they could do 25 acres in a day.

When and how they picked potato bugs is also laughable. They picked the bugs when the plants were high, filled with blossoms and in a few weeks they would be ready to be dug up.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late!

What, did the bugs only show up after blos-

som?

In Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family drive shed were seven little tin cans lined up on a plank like soldiers. Picking bugs by hand all day and sticking them in a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;little tin canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is unbelievable.

A much better and easier method is to have a wide mouth small pail the width of a potato plant. With one hand you hold the pail beside the plant and with the other hand you hit the plant and bugs and larvae all go flying into the pail.

Had Mary and her siblings done it that way they could have finished their potato patch in 15 minutes at most and they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to strip down to their underwear in the summer kitchen afterwards. And Mother wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to line up seven wash basins for washing off potato bug dirt. What a tale!

Contrary to what Mary writes, potato bugs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat the leaves. They lay eggs underneath the leaves of the plant.

The secret is getting the bugs off before they lay the eggs and tear off the leaf that has the small yellow patch of eggs. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let those eggs hatch!

Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back Tuesday and with student enrolment continuing to drop and more teachers laid off, school boards face tough decisions. What should they do?

A)

Cut out the frills. Stick to the 3Rs and let parents and volunteers provide for such things as sports, music and art.

Yes. Teachers have had it good since the McGuinty Liberals were elected. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time their taxpayer-paid salaries and benefits return to a more realistic level.

0%

B) No. Teachers have one of the most important jobs in society and they should be compensated better to reflect that.

C) Yes. The government should ban

D) No. Let collective bargaining work.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impose contracts from above. If teachers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy, their students arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to be happy either.

B) The days of the 3Rs have long passed. Cut in

MP right to keep close eye on CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending To the editor: Re: alleged scare tactics by MP Gallant, by Ray Parchelo (Chronicle Guide EMC, Aug. 23). I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe Mr. Parchelo is being very mindful at all, of reality.

He does seem, however, to enjoy partaking in the lowest form of wit with his sarcastic, juvenial and tasteless pap.

Indeed his letter was quite insulting to our MP and other residents. (or is this Mr. Parcheloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of encouraging young women of Renfrew County to enter politics, so they too can look forward to being, however so obliquely, referred to as a Wich?).

As only about 17 or 18 per cent of all Canadians are aware that CBC receives $1.16 billion in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Corporate Welfareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; every year, it is incumbent on our incumbent to inform her constituents of the goings-on of their tax dollars.

Yet ironically, the CBC will not miss an opportunity to blare that private company ABC or ACME Canada Inc. receives a bit of tax relief and cries â&#x20AC;&#x153;corporate welfare at its worst.â&#x20AC;?

Even though these companies actually provide jobs and add to the bottom line of the

M&R

country, rather than just take, take, take.

The fact that CBC has become such a large and secretive consumer of our money, any cut to CBC can easily be justified.

I personally do like CBC Radio, especially Radio 2, as they appear to have more substantive music and a lot less politically slanted and tasteless pap. (Check out Nigel Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s violin concertos.)

I believe MP Cheryl Gallant was referring to CBC TV that is now not available to many in the Valley, myself included, due to their switching to digital from analog signals last fall and the fact that they chose to cut our services here in the Valley.

That said, CBC in its present form, has become outdated, unnecessary and a wasteful drain on our money, especially in light of the ga-zillions of sources of news and entertainment courtesy of Broadband in almost all of Canada.

Millions of Canadians are waking up to the reality that we can no longer afford such extravagance, and at a time when cities, states and whole countries are going into receivership, we must pare the

dead wood from the tree.

I believe, as many Canadians do, that CBC should have about 70 per cent of its present form privatized and/or sold.

Leave at its core the CBC Radio 2 for decent music, a bit of news and programs and, of course, the infrastructure for emergency broadcast.

Capping the Corporate Welfare at $ 350 million would be more than enough to cover a CBC for such commonsensical purposes.

The other $800 million or so could go to paying down the debt.

No country can afford the wasteful drain on its tax dollars that the CBC currently swallows.

Perhaps Mr. Parchelo would do well to offer a solution or two, rather than a delusional teenage drama to the conversation, ever mindful, of course, that residents of Renfrew County are a lot better informed and intelligent than he seems to think, and further, that that knowledge, wisdom and fiscal prudence does certainly not at all stem from the CBC.

The Royals are not normal or treated that way To the editor: So HRH Captain Harry Wales has ‘done it again’.

Known as the ‘party prince’, he wants to be normal. No way!

He and his brother, indeed his father, and his grandfather etc. can never be normal. Who they are and where they come from genetically prohibits them from being like you and me.

I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes for one minute. They really don’t have a private life and whatever they do and where they go can never be truly private.

But there are sanctuaries where they can hide and be themselves. Las Vegas is not one of them. More of that to follow.

The ‘Royals’ are generally not widely accepted by their peers, although they want to be.

Why? Simply because they are privileged and have ‘perks’ that others in their similar position, i.e. officers in the military do not have.

It has been true for as long as the ‘Royals’ have wanted to be serving officers. Example: HRH Prince Edward was an army officer during WWI. He was sent to France with an entourage of staff and courtiers but not allowed to be

the officer and leader he was supposed to be.

There was expressed resentment of this special treatment by his fellow officers.

HRH Prince Andrew was a naval officer who served in the Falklands. He did his duty and served there, not necessarily with distinction, but he did what he was trained to do.

Outside of the cockpit of his Lynx helicopter, he was not readily accepted by his fellows.

It is noted that on the occasion of his transfer to a different ship ‘down there’, he entered the wardroom and upon meeting the Executive Officer told him that he, Prince Andrew, could be addressed simply as ‘Andrew’. The reliable source of this, a steward wrote later that the ‘XO’ said to HRH, “you can call me Sir.” Amen.

The stories go on and on.

On a personal note, I have stayed at a military club in London on a number of occasions.

This club, presently on St. James Square and not far from St. James Palace, has private rooms within the privacy of the club that are for exclusive use of certain privileged members, i.e. the Royals and other people of high status.

While I had the privilege of staying there, I was not allowed access to this particularly ‘inner sanctum’, but I learned that the privileged lot included neighbours from St. James and Buckingham Palace. They had private a private entrance that shielded them from us mortal people.

I was told on the Q.T. that this is where “they could let their hair down” and not be bothered.

Out of sight, out of mind.

No matter where these HRH types go, they have their own entourage to look after them. At least that is what I believe.

Given that they enjoy all of this special treatment regardless of what rank they currently hold means that their fellow officers look upon them not simply as ‘comrades in arms’, they also look upon them somewhat in a jaded light.

But they don`t come forward very often and they certainly obey the ethos that is expected of them.

What I mean is officers in the British military tradition are expected to conduct themselves in an exemplary manner both in their professional and private lives. While that is a tough standard to meet at the best of times, and

Speeding ongoing problem on James Street To the editor: On Aug. 16, I had the pleasure of writing and submitting a letter to the editor about some of the changes which have occurred on James Street since the 1950s.

In my letter I indicated how pleased I was to have the street develop from its original three houses on a gravel street surface to being the present-day home for the Nick Smith Centre. So it is with great displeasure that I find myself writing another letter to you about my beloved James Street and about the sports facility that I lobbied to have built in the 1970s.

On July 2, 1980, when the complex was only a few years old, I wrote a letter to the Town indicating my concern about how the traffic conditions on James Street had changed for the worse. I received a reply to my letter on July 18, 1980 indicating that the police department would increase their patrols on the street. That was to be a solution to the problem - or so the Town thought.

However, since 1980, the situation has continued to deteriorate. Over the years (including just recently), I have contacted various local municipal officials and the local police services regarding my con-

cerns about the rate of speed that people are driving up and down the street. The rates of speed are a hazard for all of the residents - whether it is for children playing or for myself and my neighbours entering or exiting heir driveways.

Last month, an electronic speed monitoring sign was temporarily situated at two different locations along James Street.

Did drivers change their driving habits as a result? Well, I had great hopes that it would, but in the end, if they had changed their driving habits I would not be writing this letter today.

See SIGN, Page 22

many of us, including me, has not lived up to it from time to time, it nevertheless exists.

I expect that HRH Captain Wales will face some sort of disciplinary action within his own chain-of-command, because of his faux pas in Las Vegas. That punishment, as light as it will be, will not be made public. To exclude him from any sanctions within his regiment will be detrimental to his military career because his fellow officers will once more witness special treatment.

To conclude, if I was in HRH’s position, I would rather take his commanding officer’s punishment and get on with his privileged life. His lecture from his CO will be much softer than the private one he will get from the senior Royals.

If you don`t believe me, reflect on what happened to HRH Prince Edward after he flunked out of officer training in the Royal Marines. He was in royal purgatory for many years.

Gallan-wich meal disrespectful To the editor: Regarding Ray Parchelo’s comment re. Cheryl Gallant and Gallan-wich meal (Chronicle Guide EMC, Aug. 23).

In my own opinion, that is disrespectful, sir. The Gallan-wich meal was not called for.

I’ve got a new recipe for you, sir, just ‘keep it to yourself’.

I might suggest, don’t give up your day job - stick with it. Some of us are unfortunate.

Pap food is a soft tasteless food for infants. Maybe some of us adults should try this tasteless food.

I may be narcistic and belligerent, but a lot of us fit this bill. My own experience tells me this.

Two strikes and then a homer for bird watcher EMC lifestyle – Each August I conduct a Wolf Howl for Bonnechere Provincial Park.

Following a presentation on Eastern Wolves, we head to Basin Depot in nearby Algonquin where I howl for wolves. We enjoyed great success for the first 12 years of the Howl, but in recent years the wolves have been rather silent.

This year I also performed a Howl at Achray in Algonquin on the night before the Bonnechere event, which took place last Saturday.

The weather was good for both events, but wolves failed to respond on either.

However, during the Bonnechere Howl a nearby Beaver explosively slapped its tail, startling everyone. At the last stop, a Barred Owl put on a terrific vocal show in response to my imitations.

No one left disappointed just being out at night where wild wolves wander is a thrilling experience.

Next morning I returned to

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way Basin Depot and found fresh wolf tracks at one of our stops. We had been close to success the previous night.

The following Monday I decided to pursue a hunch.

This year low water levels have resulted in large sand points in lakes along the Petawawa River in Algonquin.

With rain in the forecast, I suspected migrating shorebirds would put down there.

With great anticipation I headed to Algonquin before sunrise.

This year I have permission to access Radiant Lake for research purposes. I arrived at that lake with light rain falling and waded across, the water barely rising above my ankles. I arrived on the far shore to find no shorebirds.

The rain became heavier and eventually two species – Semipalmated Plover and Least Sandpiper- called from overhead. Neither landed.

Hours later five Semipalmated Plovers arrived on the shore. During another heavy downpour a Black-bellied

Plover made a brief appearance.

These shorebirds nest in the Arctic tundra and often fly non-stop to the Atlantic coast.

Some stop to feed in rich sites (such as Ottawa River mudflats and shores of sewage ponds), but the sand underlying the Petawawa River seems to hold little food for birds so most usually leave as soon as the weather clears.

After five hours and a few more plover sightings, I waded back across the lake. I was about to leave when another

storm blew in.

This time, a Whimbrel – a very large sandpiper with a down-curved bill – flew calling overhead. Later, I was again about to leave when another storm arrived.

When this one was over, I spotted three shorebirds on the far shore. One looked very interesting.

I waded back across the lake and my suspicions were confirmed. It was a Rednecked Phalarope, a beautiful sandpiper previously recorded only eight times in Algon-

quin. (Ron Tozer’s fantastic Birds of Algonquin Park details the status and habits of phalaropes and all other Algonquin birds).

Phalaropes famously spin atop shallow water to make invertebrates rise to the surface where they grab them.

This one just waded in the water.

Nine hours of persistence certainly paid off. If only the wolves had been as cooperative as the shorebirds!

Damage tops $80 million, more destructive storms predicted the Ottawa region. The storm spawned fierce winds, heavy rains, flash flooding, up to golf-ball-sized hail and a couple unconfirmed reports of tornadoes touching down.

The $80-million figure is a preliminary estimate reported

by Property Claim Services Canada (PCS-Canada), a service that tracks insured losses arising from catastrophic events. Data collected by PCS-Canada confirm that claims have been filed for damage to homes, cars and businesses in the wake of the storm.

In this area, the storm hit hardest in the Norway, White and Golden lake areas, causing power outages and property damage to homes and businesses. There are reports

Woodlot owners affected by storm, drought

EMC news – One of the issues to be addressed at the annual Renfrew County woodlot conference will how to deal with effects of the July 23 storm and the summer-long drought.

The free conference will be held Saturday, Sept. 22 at 558 Ferguslea Rd. just outside Renfrew. It will also include presentations about wood certification, first thinning, log scaling, lumber grading and mill operations.

There may also be a speaker about the impact of the summer drought and what woodlot owners can expect when selling their wood.

Many woodlots sustained significant damage in the destructive July storm. With no insurance supplied for that type of damage, many property owners have been left won-

toppled trees, both large and small.

In some areas, the wind was so strong there were concentrated groups of trees that looked like they’d been felled and readied for skidding, he said.

“You couldn’t have lined them up any better, as a logger, to come to the road,” said Watchorn of these sections.

As for a time frame, it’s best to cut the storm-damaged wood before the snow flies or before it gets hot next year, said Muzzi. “I think the (best) window you’re looking at is from now to January to clean the stuff up.”

If not fully equipped to harvest one’s own storm damage, Muzzi said there are “an awful lot of good wood contractors in Renfrew County.”

Those seeking seedlings, to rebuild their woodlots, were told they can book orders through Steve D’Eon of the volunteer-based Forest Stewardship Committee of Renfrew County. The cost should be under 25 cents, maybe under 20 cents, per seedling, said D’Eon ( 613-639-1037).

Orders would best be made by mid-September.

dering what they should do.

Admaston-Bromley Township hosted a free information session on the topic Wednesday, Aug. 22. Nearly 60 people packed the municipal office to hear what Renfrew County forestry services manager Jeff Muzzi and Ministry of Natural Resources district manager Rick Watchorn had to say.

Muzzi, who owns his own 125-acre woodlot, said he has tried to remove as much fallen wood as possible and find markets for it as soon as possible. Local markets are varied, but Muzzi said the better prices are for red pine, “the one product that has had staying power the last few years,” and cedar, which he called “basically recession-proof.”

He’s also getting a decent price for poplar, although he wondered how long that will last.

Salvaging the wood sooner rather than later is also important, since the longer the wood stays on the ground, the higher the potential that the wood becomes stained and receives a lower purchase price.

Watchorn stressed the need for safety when cleaning up roots and broken or partly-

In all, 54 games were given out, helping the dealership mark the town’s 150th anniversary. “They were very well received by our customers,” Trevor Reid told the three Rotarians making the presentation. Taking part in the ceremony, from left, are David Grant, Arnprior Rotary president Bruce Buie, Reid and John Litva.

The Defibrillators, a team from Arnprior Regional Health, mainly from the hospital, celebrate finishing a ride on the Big Bike Monday morning. Teams from the hospital and the Antrim Truck Stop made the ride from the truck stop up and over the highway and around Winners Circle. The two teams raised about $3,500 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

“They’re helping to save lives,” said the Big Bike organizers.

In memory of a fallen friend Antrim Truck Stop manager Tiffany Duff leads her team in a cheer prior to mounting the Big Bike Monday for a ride in memory of Bob Lodge. The owner of the 730 Truck Stop in Cardinal died of a heart attack. He was a good friend of Duff ’s parents, Antrim Truck Stop owners Jack and Gail Cameron. Later that day, the Big Bike travelled to Cardinal where there was another ride in Lodge’s memory. Ironically, Monday would have been Lodge’s birthday. Right, the Antrim back riders, with flags flying, wave to passers-by.

Farmers still have disaster relief questions and concerns Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Renfrew County farmers gathered in the Renfrew Legion Monday to discuss drought relief.

Under the continuing Level 2 drought conditions, many left wondering when they might receive some government help, if at all.

“Tonight is an opportunity to put forth comments,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, who chaired the event.

Farmers heard from four speakers, among them parliamentary secretary of agriculture Pierre Lemieux, Rick Fiarchuk of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and executive director of strategy policy John Fox. They spoke of federal-provincial programs available to Ontario farmers. “Introduced was the Livestock Deferral Program because of the drought,” Lemieux said.

Under the program, owners of breeding livestock in designated areas who are forced to sell all or part of their breeding herd due to drought conditions are eligible for a one-year tax deferral on income from those sales.

“If they sell their animals, they can be deferred to the next year,” Lemieux added.

There have been a number of disasters in the country,

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Area farmers discuss the Level 2 Drought and other concerns prior to the Monday meeting in the Renfrew Legion hall. both weather- and disease-related, Fiarchuk said. “There are programs out there available to get funds early if you need it.”

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 im-

mediate help can apply for an interim AgriStability payment.

It works on an Olympic margin system, Fiarchuk said.

It works on the previous five years.

A farmer’s highest and lowest income are defined and dropped to create a reference margin. Should the production margin fall below 85 per cent of a reference margin in a given year, the farmer will receive a program payment, AgriInvest works much like

Tax relief offered to drought struck farmers EMC news – Renfrew County is on the list of 23 areas in which some farmers are being offered an income tax deferral option to help them fight the effects of drought.

The federal government announced the program Monday.

Farmers in Lanark County, rural Ottawa and the Pontiac are also eligible for the program.

The tax deferral allows eligible producers in designated areas to defer income tax on the sale of breeding livestock for one year to help replenish them in the following year.

Proceeds from deferred sales are included as income in the next tax year, when they may be at least partially offset by the cost of replacing breeding animals. In the case of consecutive years of designation, producers may defer sales income to the first year in which the area is no longer designated.

To defer income, the breeding herd must have been reduced by at least 15 per cent. If this is the case, 30 per cent of income from net sales can then be deferred.

In cases where the herd has been reduced by more than 30 per cent, 90 per cent of income from net sales can be deferred.

Eligible producers will be able to request this deferral when filing their 2012 income tax returns. Livestock producers are advised to contact their local Canada Revenue Agency

Tax Services office for details on the income tax provisions.

“This summer’s hot and dry weather has drastically reduced feed supplies for many Ontario and Quebec farmers, forcing them to make some tough herd management decisions,” said Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. “With a tax deferral, producers will have some breathing room by being able to redirect money towards replenishing next year’s breeding stock and get back to business.”

In addition to tax deferral, producers have access to assistance through existing business risk management (BRM) programs, including AgriInsurance, AgriStability, and AgriInvest. Producers can contact Agricorp and La Financière agricole du Québec for details.

Federal and provincial officials are working “as quickly as possible” to assess the impact of drought under the AgriRecovery Framework to determine whether further assistance beyond existing programs is needed to help producers deal with the potential additional costs, says a federal news release. The AgriRecovery assessment will be completed once harvest is complete and the full impact of the disaster is known.

For more information on the extent of the drought situation or programs to assist farmers, see the AAFC web site at www.agr.gc.ca/.

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 not as program, but a disaster relief framework that provides a rapid response for produc-

ers affected by events such as droughts, flooding, hailstorms, ice storms, or wildfires, Fiarchuk said.

The province may request an AgriRecovery assessment, which is done together with the federal government.

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

“AgriRecovery is not about income replacement,” Fiarchuk stressed. He said it is about bringing hay and feed in from elsewhere, “what the producers in that area need; what level of drought is it; how crops are; work with the province to see what the needs are.”

“With some exceptions, AgriRecovery is doing very well in Canada. It is also seen as necessary, particularly in disaster conditions,” Fox said.

Gallant was pleased with the feedback they got from the people in attendance.

“They were in particular, pleased about the tax deferral announcement,” said Gallant.

What that means, for example, is that livestock producers who sell off 15 per cent or more of their herds will have a year before the taxes on the sales of those animals are due, so in the following year, when high food costs or the animal livestock are repurchased, those expenses will help to offset the

additional taxes that are due in the following year.

“The audience provided relevant questions,” the MP added.

“We had a very generous audience in terms of providing input. A number of people provided me with written lists of commendations they had prepared ahead of time, with respect to recommendations on growing forward 2, the risk management group of programs that Mr. Fiarchuk was speaking about. That will come into effect as Growing Forward 1 expires in March.”

A farmer in the crowd noted the forms to fill out for these programs have been hard to obtain, particularly if one doesn’t have a computer. They are available by calling Gallant’s office at 613-732-3221.

Farmers can also call Agricorp at 1-866-327-3678 for forms or to have any of their questions answered.

Dave Mackay, president of the Renfrew County National Farmers Union, summed the night up for a few people.

“It’s informative, but we really didn’t get any answers, did we?” he said of any pending funds “We want the answers now.

My problem is the timing. We still don’t know if we’ll get any money or not. I don’t know what’s the hold-up. If there is no money, let us know, and we’ll deal with it.”

THEFTS FROM CARS

Arnprior OPP hemmed in a vehicle on Madawaska Boulevard Friday about 7 p.m. The stop was made near the corner of John Street across from the museum. The weekend was a busy one for police with plenty going on in town.

The Arnprior OPP continue to investigate incidents of thefts from motor vehicles. They urge motorists to lock their vehicles, remove any valuables and report any suspicious behaviour to police at the time it is occurring.

Sign doesn’t deter speeders on James Continued from Page 10

Here’s an example to explain the traffic situation. On July 8 when I was working in my front yard, I took time out of my activities to witness the habits of some drivers in a certain time frame.

Four of the drivers appeared to be driving the acceptable rate of speed (it is posted at 40 kilometers per hour maximum). Three others who were driving too fast slowed down after I motioned to them with my hand to please slow down. To these drivers, I sincerely appreciate that you reduced your speed.

However, there were eight other drivers who ignored my request and continued to speed excessively up the street. In fact, one of these eight drivers gave me an “inappropriate” hand signal of his/her own, which I cannot properly describe in this letter without offending some people.

Drivers should take note that there is a road sign on James Street stating ‘MAXIMUM 40’.

CAMPBELL

For those entering James Street from Daniel Street, this sign is located approximately 120’ from the corner of Daniel Street and it is highly visible (ie. it is not hidden by other signs or trees or anything else).

What can be done to reduce motorists’ speeds on James Street?

If people do not take the responsibility on themselves to follow the traffic rules, perhaps a stop sign will need to be erected at the intersection with Thomas Street. Or perhaps other speed control options will have to be implemented.

Being the longest residing original homeowner on James Street, it saddens me to see the disrespect that some drivers have for others.

At what price must we pay for this speeding problem, which has been ongoing for years with no apparent end in sight?

Fake bank manager scams victim of $4,000

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Firefighters with the Horton Fire Department douse flames or smoke on this Atlas Van Lines truck (affiliated with Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Transfer Van Lines) that caught on fire last Friday morning while travelling westbound on Highway 17 between Arnprior and Renfrew. From left are firefighters Kyle Schroeder, Chris Martin and Crystal McGregor.

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Renfrew OPP is investigating a fraud where a man posed as a bank manager and tricked a victim into turning over more than $4,000.

OPP report the victim received a call from the fraudster and withdrew funds from a bank account. The victim then met the suspect in a parking lot in Renfrew and turned over the money.

The victim was told to wait for a follow-up call from the suspect. When the phone call never came, the victim became suspicious and called the OPP. The suspect has phoned other individuals in the area and the OPP would like to talk to anyone who may have re-

ceived one of these calls. OPP Constable Adam Nitschmann can be reached at 613-4323211. Information on fraud prevention and trends can be found at www.antifraudcentre. ca.

Meanwhile, an Arnprior woman is warning that fraud artists are attempting to target children home alone during the summer holidays.

A scammer claimed to be a census officer and asked about children in the household after being rebuffed when he asked about personal computer information. The woman said she suspects the caller would have called back later if told there were children in the home.

POLICING

Few crashes ‘accidents’, say police on eve of long weekend ers at risk on roads, waterways and trails as part of their ongoing efforts to decrease fatalities and injuries caused by aggressive driving, distracted driving, seat belt non-compliance, impaired driving and failing to obey Move Over laws.

Sadly, heading into the last summer long weekend of the year, it is shaping up to be a bad

year for road fatalities with 232 people having died on roads and highways (within OPP jurisdiction as of Aug. 27), compared to 195 during the same time period last year. OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis says the solution to eliminating collisions and the senseless loss of life is as simple as making a firm commitment to good

driving behaviour and obeying all of the laws in place to keep everyone safe.

Lewis noted the term “accident” is no longer commonly used among OPP members when referring to collisions because it implies that no one is at fault when someone dies or is seriously injured.

According to Lewis, there is

almost always someone at fault and quite often it is not the person who is injured or killed.

“If someone else dies in a collision because you were speeding or texting while driving, or because you decided to drive after having consumed alcohol, this is not an accident – this is a preventable incident that was caused because

you were careless and chose to break the law and in the process, an innocent life was taken,” he said.

“Tragically, the person or persons who died had no hand in the costly decision that you made and this is what makes it extremely difficult for the families of the victims to deal with.”

Doors of Arnprior II poster now for sale at local museum original heritage doors from a variety of homes and businesses in the community. A similar project was done last year called the Doors of Arnprior.

The poster sells for $10 while an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proof goes for $25. They are available at the museum and Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s In Town in Arnprior. They museum can also them laminate if requested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we had 150 (posters) and we sold out by September,â&#x20AC;? Carlile says, hoping for the same success this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a good â&#x20AC;Ś the community really seems to be enjoying the doors.â&#x20AC;?

Rodger notes she and Carlile went around the community to search for the doors to be photographed for the project. Then Rodger had to make sure she had the right day and lighting to take her pictures.

The entire project took about six months to complete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are running out of doors,â&#x20AC;? Carlile notes of the second installment poster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have been replacing them (old doors) with new ones.â&#x20AC;?

She says plans are in the works for Rodger to do a Christmas doors poster and maybe a project involving windows.

EMC events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sara Rodger pays attention to lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little details and she captures them with her camera lens and recreates them through her art.

Local residents will have a chance to get a glimpse of her work during an exhibit being staged at the Arnprior and District Museum.

Rodger, an artist who works in photography and mixed media, will be bring her Second Nature Stills collection to the museum Oct. 12 from 6-8 p.m., Oct. 13 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Oct. 15 to 20 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The exhibit will be set up in the room at the museum that formerly housed the antique fire truck. That truck was relocated from the museum to the fire hall in June, leaving a wonderful space for use inside the museum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a huge space,â&#x20AC;? Rodger notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are not many huge spaces to have an exhibit for a week. I am glad Janet (museum curator Janet Carlile) let me do it here.â&#x20AC;?

Rodger had her work on display this past weekend during Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s White Pine Festival.

Carlile says there will be a reception the evening of Oct. 12 and she hopes the exhibit will be the first of many for the newly-vacant room at the museum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will turn this space into an exhibit space. We can utilize the space well â&#x20AC;Ś rent it out,â&#x20AC;? she adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping to turn it into a maps room since we acquired a large number of maps this year.â&#x20AC;?

NEWS

National Farmers Union calls for safety net program changes Unions call on province, feds, to channel money to family farms instead of big corporate farms EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Renfrew County National Farmers Union has echoed calls by its national office to ensure farm aid is received by family farmers.

NFU members shared that message at a consultation meeting sponsored by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant Monday in Renfrew.

The NFU is calling on

federal and provincial agriculture ministers to improve Business Risk Management programs under Growing Forward 2 by channeling needed money to family farms instead of using it to help the biggest corporate farms grow even larger.

In a brief released last week, the NFU outlines 10 policy recommendations that would improve the programs

for the majority of farmers in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;NFU research shows that the largest farms are receiving an increasingly higher portion of farm program dollars,â&#x20AC;? said Ann Slater, Region 3 (Ontario) co-ordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The suite of BRM programs under Growing Forward 2 need to support the survival of small and medium sized family farms.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The agriculture budget is being cut back 10 per cent, according to the federal budget.

We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being given details of any planned cuts, but are

being given hints that farmers will be asked to shoulder more risk,â&#x20AC;? said NFU president Terry Boehm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in large part these BRM programs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; other than AgriInsurance are needed because of the impacts of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction, especially their continued refusal to address the anticompetitive behavior of oligopolistic railways, grain companies, meat processors, seed and input suppliers.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until we have a food sovereignty-based agri-food policy in Canada, there will

be a need for safety net programs to help family farmers survive the on-going farm income crisis,â&#x20AC;? said Slater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A new approach is needed for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agri-food policy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one which changes the balance of power within the food system and allows family farmers to receive a just livelihood.â&#x20AC;?

Locally, the Renfrew County NFU notes the delivery of the current programs certainly does not meet the needs of farmers. During this severe drought situation, farmers are very disgruntled

and discouraged with the delivery of much needed assistance, it says.

This was evident at the well-attended public meeting last week in Cobden to discuss what assistance could be forthcoming to local farmers to help recover from the present disastrous drought.

Mackay noted the NFU presented its list of 10 recommendations on paper for Gallant to take to the Minister of Agriculture and will follow-up to see what happens.

WHITE PINE

Dragon Boaters hold fun day as part of White Pine Festival EMC lifestyle - Dragon Boating is the fastest growing team sport in the world, second only to soccer, a fact evidenced by the turnout at the Dragon Boat Fun Day in Arnprior Sunday.

The ‘Draggin Behinds’ team of the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club hosted the event and helped to create a festive backdrop for the event with tents, decorations of all kinds.

The event included outfitting the paddlers, coaches and steerers, and even featured a team of greeters on hand to welcome each new paddler looking for something new and exciting.

Yes, even some enthusiastic seniors attended the event.

Each new Dragon Boat paddler was given a boat safety introduction and a brief warm-up, followed by a 30-minute instructional paddle on the Madawaska River.

And, to support the Town of Arnprior’s commitment to promote water and boat safety, the Town provided two lifeguards and a safety boat operated by the Arnprior Volunteer Fire Department.

David Furgoch, a visually impaired paddler with the team, agreed wholeheartedly that Dragon Boating certainly builds strength and endurance.

It provides a real team-building environment, and, it’s just simply lots of fun, he added.

Furgoch went on to say that the ‘Draggin Behinds’ Dragon Boat team are an enthusiastic and generous team of paddlers, and just can’t wait until next season to begin practices in order to compete in one or two Dragon Boat Festivals in and around the area.

The draw for a dinner for two at East Side Mario’s was won

by Brian Girdwood of Arnprior.

A dragon boat fun day on the Madawaska River was part of Sunday’s White Pine Festival activities.

White Pine Festival grateful for all the community support in making event a success Editor’s note: The following was written by an appreciative White Pine Festival director and super volunteer Art Smith at the end of the weekend.

Our third annual White Pine Festival was held on Aug. 24, 25 and 26 is now in the past.

We would like to take a few moments to thank so many people, organizations, etc.

First to all the sponsors who make all of this possible. You can see all of them on our web site sponsor page (www.whitepinefestival.ca).

We are so thankful to have all of them behind us.

Along with the vendors are all the events that entertained all who attended.

Thanks to our Canadian Armed Forces for taking the time to spend the weekend with us.

Next would have to be all of the volunteers who helped Mike Marcil (director) and I put it together.

To the approximately 5,000 plus spectators who came out on two very hot days, thank you so much for your attendance and your support.

It is a real pleasure to live in a community as great as ours and to have so many people from outside of our community attend these functions.

Also a big thanks to Glenn Arthur for all his help as our contact with the town of Arnprior.

We would like to say thanks to the Caitlin Stewart Highland Dance Tournament for joining us this year. Well done.

Competitors, coaches and spectators gained knowledge through comments and evaluations from clinician Dennis Mahoney from Deer Lake, Nfld.

Many individuals are responsible for bringing the horse show clinics together, but the participants are the most important. JCS Stables thanks the generosity of sponsors and the numerous volunteers who helped provide for a safe, fun-filled and exciting day.

EMC lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Labour Day means back to school and back to a full work schedule. Gone are the lazy days of summer spent on holidays with the family pet.

One of the biggest problems is separation anxiety, that nasty behaviour we see when we leave the house and fido goes ballistic chewing and destroying such things as pillows, couches, articles of clothing and even oneself.

Here are some tips for making fidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transition from busy summer to home alone.

When leaving for the day make sure fidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a secure place. Leave a bowl of water and some treats stuffed inside various toys to distract them throughout the day. Stuffing toys with foods like peanut butter and cheese whiz are a fun and delicious treat for your pet.

Remove anything that you do not want your pet to have.

If the area with which your pet is in lacks adequate lighting, leave a light on.

Also turning on the radio can be comforting to your pet while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away.

Pet Talk

IAN STUPP

Remember that animals cannot tell time nor do they wear watches. They will be as excited to see you whether you return in five minutes or in five hours, therefore, it is best to leave with out any fanfare. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get mushy and give big hugs and kisses this outward behaviour confuses them and makes things worse.

On the flip side, when you arrive home after a long day at work, spend some time with them. This is a great

time to bond, as well. After a long hectic day at the office, there is nothing more beneficial than being with a pet to lower ones blood pressure.

If you happened to purchase a puppy or kitten during the summer months and you are worried about leaving them behind, you can teach them to accept your absence by leaving them alone for a few minutes, than leave for a few hours building gradually to a full day.

If all else fails you can always hire a dog walker\sitter to look after fido while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away.

Just like little children, your pets have feelings to and although they cannot articulate how they feel. What they do when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away is there way of saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey! I miss you guys and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like being left alone.â&#x20AC;?

ROSCOE #4270 Roscoe was found wandering down a country road, he was dehydrated and starving. He has been at the shelter since October 2011 and would love to ďŹ nd a great new home. Roscoe is a very handsome, 6 year old, neutered and declawed boy. He can be affectionate and enjoy attention when he is in the mood. He is curious and likes to explore. Roscoe would be best suited in an adult only home where he will be the only pet. His longer hair will require some grooming. The shelter would be willing to reduce Roscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoption fee for the right home. Please consider adopting this handsome guy, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tired of living in a cage.

Your Community Newspaper

An estimated 700 spectators crowded into the Eganville arena Aug. 8 to watch televised coverage of the Olympics and cheer Bishop on during her Olympic debut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is going to be such a great event (Sept.

2) for the community and a wonderful welcoming home event for Melissa,â&#x20AC;? said Bonnechere Valley Township Mayor Jennifer Murphy in a news release.

Everyone who has purchased a Team Melissa T-shirt is encouraged to wear them to the

parade. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one, then you are encouraged to wear red tops.

Bishop, 24, will ride in a horse-drawn carriage driven by Tom Redmond of Cobden.

Several Arnprior School of Karate members attended the prestigious Koyo Camp at Algonquin College in mid-August. In back from left are Marie-Hélène Crawford (Arnprior student), Sensei Saeki (CJKF chief instructor), Sempei France Guillemette (Arnprior assistant instructor), Sensei Garth Templeman (Arnprior head instructor), Sempei Marco Tsao (Arnprior guest instructor); and in front Master Masahiko Tanaka (JKA vice chief instructor), Sensei Keisuke Nemoto (current all-Japan champion).

The Corporation of the Town of Arnprior The Town of Arnprior is seeking applications for Spare Crossing Guard positions. Crossing Guards must be available to work daily shifts throughout the school year. This position will cover school crossings due to illness or absences by the regular crossing guard. The successful candidate must be available on extremely short notice.

Offers of employment are conditional upon the successful applicant providing the Town with a police clearance. All applicants must complete and submit an Application Form no later than Friday, September 14, 2012. Application Forms may be obtained at the municipal office at the address below. Completed Application Forms will be accepted by regular mail, personal delivery or email to: Maureen Spratt, Deputy Clerk Town of Arnprior 105 Elgin Street W. Arnprior, ON K7S 0Z8 E-mail: mspratt@arnprior.ca

EMC sports - Sensei Garth Templeman and a contingent from the Arnprior School of Karate attended a major karate camp Aug. 16 to 19 at Algonquin College.

Templeman was delighted with the opportunity, noting the school’s membership in CJKF (National) and JKA (international) is what gives members access to such a high level training opportunity.

“To compare it to the golf world, it’s like having the opportunity to get instruction from Arnold Palmer (Master Masahiko Tanaka, the JKA’s vice chief instructor), and he brings Tiger Woods (Sensei Keisuke Nemoto, the current all-Japan champion) along to ‘help’ with the instruction,” he said.

“And that doesn’t even account for the fact that we have four Mike Weirs there as well (Senseis Saeki, Leung, Powell and Jones).

The Koyo Camp is a national event that attracts hundreds of JKA Shotokan students from across the country and also some from other countries (Brazil, Ireland, U.S., etc.).

The camp included three conference-style streams of training, including teaching dojo instructors and senior students with ranks of Sandan (3rd degree) and higher how to be keepers of Shotakan karate’s traditional teachings.

There is also a Power program, physically intense and technically challenging training, geared to competitors and others who wish to improve their speed, strength, timing and artistic expression.

And there was also a regular training program attended by other members of the Arnpri-

or dojo, including Sempei France Guillemette, Templeman said the instructors at the camp are highly esteemed.

Master Tanaka teaches the teachers in Japan who go out and share our art form with the rest of the world.

Sensei Nemoto is active in the current worldwide competition circuit and is the current reigning All Japan kumite (fighting) champion and finished in third place at the Funakoshi World Cup last year in Thailand.

Sensei Minoru Saeki is CJKF chief instructor and co-coach of Canadian national team and Sensei Eddie Leung is co-coach of the team.

Master Tanaka is regarded as one of the greatest living legends in the world of Shotokan karate, said Templeman.

“I had the privilege of being one of 50 instructors allowed to train directly with him.

This training is the equivalent of instruction he provides to instructors in Japan, including Sensei Nemoto.”

Templeman said the camp was “an incredible event overall - and an amazing opportunity for me as an instructor.”

Thanks to the associations with the JKA and CJKF organizations, in just a few brief years, the Arnprior School of Karate has gone from being one of a handful of martial arts schools in a small town to having national, and international, exposure, he said.

“I can’t possibly explain what that’s been like nor thank enough those who have helped us.

“We feel truly privileged.”

OPP, firefighters challenged to ball game

Connie Smith

Tara Oram and the Prescott/Brown Family

Connie Smith is considered by many to be one of the American country music scene’s finest female vocalists. Over the course of her music career Smith has won 11 Grammy award nominations and 20 Top-10 Billboard singles. She has also released 31 charting albums, and three of them have hit number one. In 2012 Smith became the 12thsolo female artist and 19th woman elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Born in Elkhart, Indiana, Smith’s music career began in 1963. Her debut single, Once a Day, was the first debut single by a female country artist to reach number one. That song holds the record for the most weeks spent at number one on the Billboard country chart by a female artist.

Newfoundland natived Tara Ora was a top-six finalist on the fifth season of Canadian Idol in 2007. In March 2009, Oram received an East Coast Music Award for country recording of the year. She was also nominated for female solo recording of the year and video of the year. In 2009 Oram was nominated for a Juno award for country recording of the year. She won the 2009 CCMA Rising Star award. Also performing on the Renfrew Fair grandstand Saturday night is Prescott-Brown – a trio comprised of Tracey Brown, her brother Barry Brown and her husband Randall Prescott. The popular group came together in 1991 as Tracey Prescott and Lonesome Daddy and in 1993 they won a Juno award for best country group or duo.

EMC news - The Women’s Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County has received a $22,822 New Horizons for Seniors grant.

The federal funding will go towards the Assault Centre’s production of ‘Stories From Around the Patchwork Quilt’, a series of skits explaining the numerous forms of elder abuse and encouraging people who see themselves in similar situations to ask for help.

“I would like to thank Joanne Brooks, Kelly-Ann Taylor, Jean Maves and all those involved on this project at the Women’s Sexual Assault Centre,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, in announcing the funding.

“Seniors who suffer from elder abuse often do so in silence, as they are often unaware of what is happening to them. Thanks to this series of skits, we will be able to help educate seniors and prevent further cases of elder abuse.”

‘Stories From Around the Patchwork Quilt” will seek to expand awareness of elder abuse through Renfrew County in facilities such as churches and long-term care facilities.

The ‘Stories’ will feature seniors and boomers performing skits to highlight the many forms of elder abuse, educate the public about the crime, and support the survivors of elder abuse.

The New Horizons for Seniors Program helps seniors put their experience to use through volunteerism and mentorship.

Since its creation in 2004, the program has helped seniors lead and participate in activities such as raising awareness of elder abuse and volunteering on various projects.

White Lake woman provides costumes for fashionable fundraiser Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Three of the Bonnechere Manor tea participants are, from left, Denver Mullen (playing Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert), Eleanor Donaldson and Vi Rossy.

EMC lifestyle - It was a chance to relive some memorable British history during Bonnechere Manor’s Diamond Jubilee Heritage Tea Aug. 16.

Nineteenth-century period costumes, mostly made by Joan Headrick of White Lake, were worn by several participants, as the auditorium was a splash of colour, bustles, hoops, tiaras and Prince Albert’s top hat.

Prince Albert, who was Queen Victoria’s husband, was played by staff member Denver Mullen. Prince William and Princess Kate also made appearances. They were played by recent RCI grad Charlie Bossy and Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School student Delaney Leavoy.

“It’s fun, but it makes you glad that you live in the 19th century because the clothes are so warm,” said Dorothy Young, who wore a vibrant pink dress from that period.

The event was also a fundraiser for drapes and/or the sound system in the new manor auditorium, where the tea took place.

The old manor had an auditorium that was central to the residents’ lives. By all accounts, the current manor’s new auditorium will also be integral to their spirit and activities.

About 150 people attended the tea. For $10, each received sandwiches, squares and tea in the hall that was filled with conversation as Nicole Hass played tunes on the keyboard. The sandwiches also included the old English favourite of cucumber slices and cream cheese.

Tea servers were Bonnechere Manor director of care Vi Rossy, manor foundation member Lee Sharpe, past Renfrew mayor Sandi Heins and author-columnist Mary Cook. Carol Sulpher, who one of the period costumes with a significant hoop, was among those serving squares.

Many of the costumes came from Headrick, who has made several over the years for the Waba Museum’s annual tea. “I like it because it’s kind of taking us back to a kinder, gentler time when they had more time to dress up,” said Headrick, who attended in period costume.

board box, so that it wouldn’t dirty the kitchen floor.

Mother said farm animals belonged in the barn, chickens in the chicken coop.

After many tears and promises to scrub the floor on my hands and knees if there was a reason to, Mother finally agreed that I could bring Squeaky into the house to sleep.

I emptied a box I found in the drive shed and put one of my dolls’ blankets in it and situated Squeaky and the box behind the Findlay Oval.

When I went to bed that first night, the last thing I did before climbing the stairs was check on Squeaky.

She was asleep with that bare head tucked under an equally bare wing, the picture of perfect chicken contentment.

For the first time in many

that it would be the last night it would be sleeping anyplace but in the henhouse.

I was sure if it had to spend one more night out in that drafty place it would surely freeze to death. It was my very clever sister Audrey who had the perfect solution the next day. She said not to worry, she would take care of the situation.

The morning broke cold and windy for a late summer day. When I leaned out of the bed Squeaky was still fast asleep, just as I had left her with my sweater over her naked body.

Audrey got out of bed and headed right for the box I kept my doll clothes in. She took out a tiny sweater with buttons I used on my China doll Aunt Lizzie had sent me from Regina.

She forced Squeaky’s legs into the arm holes and buttoned the sweater across its bare breast. It fit her like a glove and once she had shaken her legs a couple of times, resigned herself to her new clothes.

We walked right out the kitchen door with the chicken in my doll’s sweater and over to the chicken coop.

When Audrey put her down she went scurrying into the crowd demanding her share of the feed.

Just before it got dark that night, Audrey and I went out to take one last look. There was Squeaky apart from the rest of the chickens, fast asleep in her bright red and yellow hand knit sweater.

A clever girl was my sister Audrey.

Emerson said the coloured sweater would put off the other hens from laying eggs.

Audrey said to pay him no attention.

My featherless chicken kept growing into larger sweaters. I dreaded the day when she would join the others in the back of the old Model T Ford to be taken into Renfrew and traded for sugar and flour. But Father and Mother decided, because she was such an odd-looking bird, she would likely be as tough as blazes.

Squeaky was allowed to live out her life naturally to my great relief.

She was featherless and stayed bared in the warm weather, and when the weather was cold, she was cozily wrapped in a doll’s sweater.

soon inseparable. It didn’t look like a chicken and it certainly didn’t sound like one.

While the others chirped, this one squawked and that’s why I decided to call it Squeaky.

My brothers made fun of the little bare chicken with nothing more than a bit of fuzz around its tail end and a few scraggly hairs at its neck.

The rest of its body was completely bare and pink. It had lost its colour as it grew.

As the summer wore on and the warm days got chilly, I grew increasingly concerned about Squeaky. It was often pushed aside by the other chickens, and I would find it huddled by itself in a corner of the chicken coop trying to keep warm.

I begged Mother to let me bring it in the house at night.

I told her I would look after it and I would keep it in a card-

nights I would go to sleep assured that my pet chicken was warm and safe.

As soon as Mother blew out the coal oil lamp, and the kitchen was turned to black, loud squawks could be heard right through the house. I could hear Father jumping out of bed and Audrey and I sat bolt upright. I flew downstairs in the dark just as Father was lighting the lamp and peering into the box behind the stove.

There was Squeaky with her head in the air, and her mouth wide open letting out the most outrageous roars I ever heard come out of a chicken. Mother said she was to be taken right out to the chicken coop. I started to wail that it was the middle of the night, and that Squeaky would be frightened to death.

“Best thing that could happen to her,” I heard Emerson say from the top of the stairs.

I learned early in life that if I cried as if my heart was broken I could usually move Father.

Mother was another matter. But that night it was Father’s decision that the chicken could stay in the house upstairs beside my bed, but

EMC lifestyle - Learning at a young age that it was not wise to have a farm animal as a pet was a hard lesson for me.

Sooner or later, it would be hauled off in the back of the wagon, or peddled door to door in Renfrew. And many would end up in our smoke house. But that didn’t stop me from favouring a baby lamb, or a newly born calf, and at one time I was especially fond of a chicken that I had named Squeaky.

It had come into the world late spring, bursting out of a shell right before my very eyes one rainy day.

All the other baby chicks were bright yellow, but this little one was almost white and its feathers were few and far between. Father said it was a weakling and he doubted it would survive.

But survive it did. And it was soon obvious that it was not going to be at all like the other chickens.

I could see that as it grew it was not going to have much in the way of feathers. Father said that happened sometimes. A cull, he called it.

I took to that little chicken, and it to me, and we were

Headrick’s costumes date back to 1850s Continued from Page 53

Many of Headrick’s hoops used for the tea were 1850s and 1860s style, while the bustles have an 1880s authenticity. The late 1880s were also home to the reign of Queen Victoria, whose diamond jubilee reign ended with her death in 1901.

And this year, Queen Elizabeth’s diamond jubilee is being celebrated.

“It tells us that people enjoy teas,” said heritage tea co-ordinator Eleanor Donaldson while looking around the hall.

“We used to have teas at the old manor,” said the member of the manor auxiliary, who later learned the event raised about $1,500. “It’s a way to socialize. People can come and do their visiting, but with heritage costumes … I’m glad I didn’t have to wear those heavy gowns, but they’re beautiful and they add to the atmosphere.”

gums, making them less susceptible to tooth decay.”

When planning a child’s lunch, include foods that are nutritious and beneficial - not only for their overall health but for their oral health too, urges the dental association.

Calcium and vitamin D are necessary for the growth and maintenance of strong teeth. Foods high in calcium help strengthen tooth enamel, while vitamin D allows the body to better absorb calcium. Other essential vitamins and minerals necessary for optimal oral health include phosphorous, magnesium and vitamins A and C. Here are a few ideas, courtesy of the dental association, of what to pack in your child’s lunchbox: • Fruits and vegetables. Citrus fruits and kiwi fruit are good sources of vitamin C - important for healthy gums. Carrots and dried apricots contain vitamin A, a nutrient essential for building strong teeth.

• Cheese, yogurt and milk all contain calcium. Cheese also stimulates saliva production, which helps clear away food particles from your teeth. Low-fat yogurt (with no added sugar), cheese slices on whole-wheat crackers and small containers of milk are great options.

• Protein-rich foods like meat, poultry and fish. They are good sources of phosphorous, which is needed for tooth development.

• Smart snacking. Growing children and teens often need more than three meals a day. Smart snacking will ensure they have the energy they need to take them through the school day.

Whole grains (in snacks like crackers and granola bars) and nuts provide protein, as well as being rich in magnesium and phosphorous.

• Cut the cola. Opt for water, milk or pure fruit juices instead of carbonated drinks. Soda, sports drinks and sweetened fruit juices often contribute to tooth decay because of high sugar and acid content.

“It sets them off on the right path to good oral and overall health,” says Dr. Worth.

2 eggs 2 cups buttermilk (or 2 Tbsp. vinegar with enough regular milk to make 2 cups) 1/4 cup vegetable oil Generously grease a muffin pan.

I use a pastry brush because it’s quick and less messy than other methods.

In one bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking pow-

der baking soda, salt and sugar.

In another bowl, mix the eggs, milk and oil. Pour this into the dry ingredients, and stir just until combined.

Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.

Bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes.

If you’re not sure whether they’re done, insert a toothpick in the centre of a muffin near the middle of the pan.

If the toothpick comes out clean, they’re done.

Let the muffins sit in the pan for five minutes, then you’ll be able to remove them without having them break apart.

Serve warm.

Lee Sharpe serves a cup of tea for Dorothy Young, who’s dressed in 19th-century period costume.

EMC lifestyle - Whether your taste runs to a bowl of spicy chili or a steaming plate of beef stew, you’ll enjoy the taste of these cornmeal muffins.

These are slightly sweet, nice and moist, and simple to make.

You can find the cornmeal in the supermarket, usually in the section with the cooked cereals such as oatmeal.

If you find the muffins start to get a bit dry after a couple of days (if they last that long), just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds.

They’ll taste almost as fresh as if they just came out of the oven.

This recipe makes a large batch, 12 to 16 muffins, but

HORDICHUK – MEEHAN St. Mary’s Church, Almonte, was adorned with gladiolas and mums was the setting on September 2, 1972, when Margaret Ann, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Meehan, Almonte, was united in marriage to Waldo Hordichuk, son of Mr. & Mrs. Lucas Hordichuck of Arnprior. Father Edward Lunney officiated at the double ring ceremony. Miss Cathy Byrne was organist.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride looked radiant in a floor length empire line gown of Logada crepe with bishop sleeves and high neckline. Imported Chantilly lace with beaded pearls adorned the dress. Her two-tiered floor-length veil was held in place by a small hat bordered with Chantilly

lace and pearls. She carried a bouquet of red roses.

Attending the bride as matron of honour was Mrs. Elaine Meehan of Ottawa, sister-in-law of the bride. Miss Elizabeth Torok of Carleton Place and Miss Linda Draper of Ottawa were bridesmaids.

The attendants wore identical floor length, long sleeved gowns of printed organza in tones of yellow, gold and moss green with scoop neckline and flounced hemlines. The empire waistlines were marked by a band of moss green satin ribbon. They wore moss green embroidered picture hats and carried bouquets of yellow daisies.

Miss Karen Costello, cousin of the bride, was flower girl and wore a floor length gown of peach crepe with short sheer sleeves and flounced hemline. The empire waistline was marked with a band of white satin ribbon. She carried a basket of white daisies.

Mr. David Needham of Arnprior was best man. Mr. Pat Meehan of Ottawa, brother of the bride and Mr. David Clarke of Arnprior were ushers. Mr. Dean Ryan of Eganville, cousin of the bride was ring bearer.

For the occasion the bride’s mother chose a soft blue floor length embroidered chiffon coat and gown ensemble with wrist length sleeves and a pearl trim at bodice. Matching silver accessories and a corsage of white carnations completed her décor. The mother of the groom wore a floor length, long sleeved gown of mauve fortrel. The bodice was trimmed with pearls. White accessories and a corsage of yellow carnations completed her ensemble.

Following the wedding ceremony the bridal party and guests were entertained at dinner held at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall and a reception was held later at the Almonte Town Hall.

The couple then left among showers of good wishes on a honeymoon trip to Nassau. For travelling the bride chose a navy and white monotone print dress with coordinating sleeveless navy blue coat. She wore red accessories and a corsage of red carnations. The couple are presently living in Arnprior.

Prior to the wedding, the bride was honoured at four miscellaneous showers.

Congratulations on 40 years of love together, four daughters, four sons-in-law, and four grandchildren.

May you celebrate 40 years more .... happily ever after!

With love from everyone your lives have touched in such a loving way! xo 56 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, August 30, 2012

The funds were used to install a lift from the main hall to the lower level.

“Thanks to the leadership of Irene Robillard, and the hard work of parishioners here at the Burnstown United Church, the first phase of their accessibility project is now completed,” Gallant said in a news release.

“Without the financial and in-kind support from the community at large, this project would never have become a reality. I would also like to extend special thanks to McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell, the Burnstown Women’s Institute, and both the Burnstown and McNab-Braeside business associations for their support for the Burnstown United Church,” she said.

Line Dancing Who? When?

The late Harry Mayhew was surely smiling down on Burnstown as his widow Irene cut the ribbon on an elevator lift at the small heritage church.

And for more reasons than one.

Irene Mayhew, devoted wife of former Renfrew councillor Mayhew, snipped a green ribbon to applause as the community celebrated completion of the major accessibility project.

Coun. Mayhew would also have been proud of the woman – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant – feted for bringing federal money to the small rural community. Mayhew was part of

the team behind Gallant in her early days as the Reform Party of Canada candidate who went on to defeat Liberal candidate Hec Clouthier in 2000. Gallant has been undefeated since then.

The general contractor for the project was Gaye Pirie, Ross Huggart the architect and Joy Holmes the painter.

Other key people behind the project were Trevor Hill of Upper Canada Elevators, Patrick Flain and Irene Robillard who filed the federal grant application.

In a news release, Gallant said how pleased she was to see the completed project at the Burnstown United Church, made possible by the $49,350 it received through the Enabling Accessibility Fund Program.

New round of accessibility funding announced EMC lifestyle - New accessibility funding as been announced for eligible organizations, municipalities and businesses Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant announced last week that the federal government is accepting applications for the Enabling Accessibility Fund’s Small Project Component.

Successful applicants can receive up to $50,000 towards projects that create or enhance accessibility for people with disabilities.

“The Burnstown United Church, the Horton Community Centre, the Petawawa Legion Hall, the Killaloe Health Centre and the Petawawa Civic Centre are just some of the many places across Renfrew County which have benefited from the Enabling Accessibility Program this last year.” said Gallant.

The town hall clowns receive second-place ribbons from Arnprior Community Policing’s Don Gougeon Saturday after a hard-fought bed race in downtown Arnprior. The White Pine Festival event attracted two teams, both from town hall.

The clowns finished second to the Flintstones despite having a finely crafted, well-oiled racing bed.

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

The fund supports community-based projects across Canada that improve accessibility, remove barriers, and enable Canadians with disabilities to participate in and contribute to their communities.

Between 2008 and 2010 the program provided funding to hundreds of accessibility projects across Canada.

The EAF was renewed and expanded in the 2010 budget to cover medium-sized projects, which enabled communities to undertake larger retrofit projects and foster partnerships for creating new facilities.

The deadline for applications to for the new funding is Oct. 5.

For more information on the fund and how to apply for funding, visit Gallant’s website at www.cherylgallant.com or call her office.

Above, Ronnie McCormick shows off his homemade custom trike with its Chev 454 engine. He said it will go 100 miles per hour in third gear, if that gives an indication of its speed. However, when someone offered him $50,000 for it, he said not even bite at double the price. It isn’t for sale.

The Selina Martin Triplets will play a gig in Burnstown Sept. 15.

Valley musician returning for Burnstown concert EMC entertainment – Upper Ottawa Valley raised songwriter/ performer Selina Martin is returning to her roots with a concert in Burnstown Saturday, Sept. 15.

She will bring her acclaimed trio, the Selina Martin Triplets, to perform at the Neat Café. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. concert cost $15.

The last time Martin, who is now based in Toronto, was in the region was in January 2011, when her five-piece band performed at the Almonte Town Hall. Her parents still live on the Pakenham area farm where Martin grew up.

She says the Neat Café is the perfect intimate setting for her current three-piece band, which has been captivating festival and club audiences all year with their “ferociously creative and engaging live show.”

Compact and potent, Selina Martin Triplets are Annelise Noronha, Kevin Lacroix, and Martin. They perform inventive arrangements using electric guitars, accordion, kalimba, kick drum, bass guitar, and three-part harmonies.

They’re touring on the strength of Martin’s most recent release ‘Disaster Fantasies’. It was released in 2010, but is still being discovered by music writers and fans, with a feature article in the Toronto Star in July.

Later this fall, after returning to Vancouver to reprise her role in the hit musical ‘Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata’, Martin will head back into the studio to begin recording her much-anticipated follow-up recording.

Liquor stores to be closed Monday EMC news – All LCBO stores will be closed on Labour Day, Monday, Sept. 3.

Many LCBO stores in cottage and resort areas will stay open until 9 p.m. this Friday, Aug. 31. All LCBO stores will observe their normal business hours on Saturday, Sept. 1 and Sunday, Sept. 2. However, LCBO agency stores in communities too small to support LCBO stores, may be open on Labour Day, provided local municipalities do not object.

The LCBO reminds everyone to drink responsibly and to never consume alcohol when driving or boating. The LCBO also asks customers to bring a reusable bag when shopping at its stores and take empty beverage alcohol containers (large and small glass bottles, PET plastic, Tetra Pak cartons, bag-in-box and cans) to The Beer Store for a full deposit refund.

Enjoying a summer neighbourhood barbecue by Campanale Homes are, from left, Cole Sabourin, McKenna Gillies and Tyler Sabourin.

Verdal Hobbs and Ron Fraser are two people who left Ottawa to settle down in a Campanale home in Arnprior.

Fraser, who has attended every Campanale barbecue since they began, is originally from Renfrew.

He lived in Ottawa for 45 years before deciding to move back to the Ottawa Valley.

When he decided to move back and down-size, he and wife Mona had very specific design wishes for their retirement home, which Campanale fulfilled to a tee.

Hobbs was, in 2006, one of the first people to move into the first-phase development on Melville Road.

“I think, dollar for dollar, we looked at a lot of places. I don’t think you’ll get much better value for your money than a Campanale home,” Hobbs added.

Hobbs has also been extremely happy with the company’s ongoing support.

They also had high praise for Vince Campanale.

“Vince is a very personable kind of guy – the owner in the store kind of thing,” said Fraser.

“That’s really a nice kind of feature in this day and age.”

The popularity of the Campanale Homes community barbecue in Arnprior continues to grow.

In the past, about 80 people have attended, but this year’s fifth annual event drew more than 100 people.

The barbecue is open all people who own, or are tenants in, Campanale homes in Arnprior, and that number will surge even higher after a Campanale development on the other side of the Madawaska River becomes a reality.

Lynn Russett of Campanale Homes says the summer celebration is more than a chance to meet and mingle with neighbours.

It’s also a chance to support the community as the proceeds from draw tickets sold on two barbecues and a patio set went to the Prior Chestnuts dragonboat team.

There was a roar of applause as Campanale vice-president Vince Campanale announced that proceeds from next year’s event will also go to the team of spirited breast cancer survivors.

“I think these things (barbecues) are good for a number of reasons,” said Campanale.

First, they give people a chance to meet each other.

But they also raise money for charity.

“It’s something we can do to give back to the community,” said Campanale.

Campanale is also enthusiastic about its new three-phase, 324-home Callaghan Estates subdivision on the west side of town.

It’s a project that Russett explained features a lot of new single floor plans and four new models.

The development will start with 33 homes and the company expects to be sold out by next summer.

“We’re a company that gives people a chance to buy a home, so we’re creative with our financing,” he added.

The company has a staff of 30 to 40 people and specializes in custom homes and customer service - both before and after purchase.

Campanale and two brothers are partners in the company.

Historic year celebrated by the Burnstown Women’s Institute Public Relations Officer, Burnstown WI

As the water flows along the banks of the Madawaska, the sands of time have quickly yet gracefully swept away another year.

It’s with this grace that the skillful hardworking women of the Burnstown Women’s Institute have been able to accomplish so much for their community. Over the past year we’ve been able to enjoy and learn about so many topics. From being informed on how to become a foster parent, literary works and education to supporting local businesses by hosting one of our monthly meetings at Neat.

We learned about interior decorating with HG Interior Designs, had a Chinese auction and were serenaded by Hank Schaly as we enjoyed a picnic in the gazebo by the butterfly gardens at Barnett Park.

But most of all it has been an honour to be part of a milestone in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the BWI. It was a pleasure to meet past members and host other institutes and guests as we celebrated this special day.

We also unveiled an Angel quilt to honour passed and current members.

The Federated Women’s Institute of Canada’s Walk Across Canada With Us happened from January through to the end of December.

This challenge was in conjunction with the National Women’s Institute project Women’s Heart Health. Members everywhere took part by counting how many steps they took over the course of the year.

Did you know that the distance from the most eastern tip to the most western point of Canada is 9,306 kilometres? I didn’t either until I started counting how many steps I took a day. We had the most wonderful adventures from beginning to end, and have continued our weekly outings on into 2012.

Not only have we counted steps but have walked away doing our Adopt-A-Road program twice a year, a couple of us Hiked For Hospice and numerous road trips.

Our members have explored Barron Canyon in Algonquin Park, the Eagle’s Nest, different areas of the K&P Trail, Kennelly’s Mountain, and have gone snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The BWI walked a total of 14,234.766 kilometres, which is the width of the country and over half way coming back!

And a huge hats off to everyone as we placed first in the province. Way to go, ladies!

Do you like walking or would like to start?

Come out and be our guest. We’d love to meet you.

Continuing on into 2012 we’ve had a great informative visit from RVH’s Call to Action team, learned a lot about horti/agriculture, recycling fabrics, animal care and how to make home made pet food along with mental health, dementia and Alzheimer’s, With dementia and Alzheimer’s, a group was developed to make Figit Blankets. Once a month some Institute members get together to make a blanket for people suffering. This blanket is made from different textured fabrics and other items are sewn on to “figit” with.

Patients from Bonnechere Manor and the Civic Hospital have benefited from these blankets with rave reviews from the families and staff and even as far as helping a local student.

We would like to thank Stardust Upholstery for their help, kindness, and generosity in donating remnants to the program.

While some people are ‘figiting’, others have been crocheting ‘Plarn’.

What is plarn you ask? Well, it’s when you cut milk bags into strips and loop them together into balls so they can be worked with.

Have you been noticing your milk bags disappearing? Well, this is what has been happening. The students of McNab Public School have started The Milk Bag Club. They’ve been collecting milk bags and plarning them.

Volunteers take the plarn and turn them into beds for both children and adults and bags are being made as well.

The beds and bags are sent to Haiti as part of the Doctors Without Borders program.
