With students flocking back to school Tuesday, the Arnprior OPP want everyone to stay safe. REGION In a news release Monday, the OPP reminded drivers to be “extra diligent” this week as school returns in Renfrew County. “Students will be .COM excited and may forget some of their safety rules for crossing streets and boarding school buses,” caution police. They urge motorists to be careful in towns and villages where students may be walking or biking to school. “Watch for youth who may

cross a street without looking for traffic.” As well, drivers are reminded to stop whether meeting or following school buses with signals flashing and the stop sign extended. REGION Fines for disobeying school buses with signals flashing range from $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points. The OPP also encourage parents to review school bus .CA safety with students and advise them that younger children should be supervised while waiting for school buses to arrive. Parents of children walking or biking to school should also review the rules of the road with their kids to keep them

safe while they are travelling to and from school, add police. The annual school safety advisory by police takes on extra meaning this year what with the penalties for offenses involving school buses and cyclists dramatically increasing as Sept. 1 (see page 10). The school year also opens with an air of unrest with public elementary teachers and support workers on or planning work-to-rule campaigns. However, the situation has eased somewhat with Catholic board and public secondary teachers reaching tentative agreements with the provincial government (see page 17).
Conservatives overboard on security: candidates JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

Three of the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke federal election candidates agree domestic security isn’t the most pressing issue in the country, but how the government has dealt with it this past year threatens freedoms.
Conservative Cheryl Gallant could not be reached for comment, but Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke candidates Jeff Lehoux, Stefan Klietsch and Dan McCarthy shared their views on everything from Bill C-51 to incarceration measures. See TORIES, Page 6
Jennifer Jones gets ready to say good-bye to her children Peyton and Jessica as the school bus approaches on Anderson Road in McNab-Braeside Tuesday. It was the first day of school for Peyton, who is in Grade 2, and Jessica, who is in Senior Kindergarten. The two are new students at McNab Public School this year, with the family having moved from West Carleton, where the children attended Stonecrest Public School. The OPP encourage parents to follow Jennifer’s lead by ensuring young children are supervised while waiting for the school bus. They also remind drivers to follow the rules and not pass school buses stopped with lights activated as they pick up students.

But he is also an outdoors enthusiast and is impressed by the region’s adventure options. He even had a white water rafting trip donated by Wilderness Tours, though Santin had to back out because of a wrist injury. “I was really disappointed by that,” he said, chuckling.

A family physician came to Arnprior for a month to fill in for vacationing doctors, and is now considering a move to town. Dr. Jose Santin, brought as a potential full-timer by the physician recruitment committee, was the focus of a celebration lunch at the Arnprior District Hospital on Aug. 26. Born in Canada but raised in El Salvador, Santin was pleased by the locum experience - even the workload. “It was a great experience,” he said. “It wasn’t too bad (a caseload). I came in to some full clinics, but not many.”

Good equipment
It is difficult to attract young doctors to small town hospitals in part because the equipment is usually not state-of-the-art. But that’s not entirely true for Arnprior’s. “As a small hospital we can definitely compete in the marketplace,” said physician recruitment committee co-ordinator Laura Tromp.

Reid Bros. donated a leased car, while Mulvihill Insurance covered the auto insurance. The Kenwood Centre gave Santin a free month at its gym. “What a wonderfully supportive community we have,” said Tromp. Santin hasn’t committed to a move here. He has another locum in Oshawa, and is expected to make a final decision before year end.

Gillies Grove severance passes township vote Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Derek Dunn/Metroland
Herb Langer, front, awaits his turn to speak against the Gillies Grove land severance at the township office meeting held Aug. 26. The committee of adjustment unanimously passed the severance that will see a portion of the forest passed into private hands. Arnprior, was a county planner for many years, and also championed saving the Grove from private developers. “We all have a responsibility to ensure it is protected into the future,” Bedore said. The third committee member, Jaqueline Asselin, had little to say on the topic. No township councillors or Nature Conservancy representatives attended the meeting. The non-profit’s lead biologist on the Grove is Brenda Van Sleeuwen, who is on maturity leave. It was she who walked the land in question years ago with Maureen Tyrell. She determined the area wasn’t old growth forest; boy scouts planted the pines. Days after the adjustment committee meeting, Tyrell recalled the walk. She believes Van Sleeuwen was making a scientific judgement, not one based on the Nature Conservancy’s desire to divest itself of the property. Tyrell said the Nature Conservancy suggested the transfer to head off potential liability

should a mature tree fall on the house, garage, or a person. She said she and her mother, Jean Armstrong, have always maintained the portion, paying for the removal of trees and mowing the lawn. While true the family is not paying the NCC for the land, the family is responsible the legal costs – which are significant. (Her lawyer was at the adjustment meeting, for instance.) James Duncan, Ontario vice-president of the Nature Conservancy, said the conditions place by the Oblate fathers when they sold Gillies Grove was that: if the Nature Conservancy was ever to sell it, the Oblates would have first right of purchase at the original $400,000; the Nature Conservancy would have no objections to R0063379310_0903
Barring an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), a Gillies Grove land transfer is a done deal. The McNab-Braeside committee of adjustment unanimously passed the controversial severance that saw .052 hectare (about 5,600 sq. ft.) of Nature Conservancy of Canada land given to a private resident living just off the Division Street entrance. The non-profit environmental organization asked the Tyrell family to legally assume ownership of the land some five years ago. The two sides have been negotiating the deal ever since, with the township’s standard process of voting at two committees – planning and adjustment – now completed. However, the much-loved Gillies Grove has ardent defenders, especially when it comes to the first-ever severance. Herb Langer is an opponent of the deal. At the Aug. 26 committee of adjustment meeting, he offered up four reasons for why it should be denied. • The group of private citizens who raised money to save the Grove in the 1990s wanted “to save all the grove,” not have portions severed; • As a National Historic Site, the federal government should be consulted when its designations are scaled back; • The Government of Ontario contributed money to the purchase of the grove, and, therefore, should have a say when a private residence will see its property value increase at the taxpayers’ expense; • Even if severing this portion makes sense, it sets a precedent for the next neighbouring property owner to demand a piece. A ‘slippery slope’ could ensue. Langer was interrupted on each point by a committee member. Chairman Geoff Booth wrongly stated the Nature Conservancy was getting money in exchange. Member Vance Bedore noted the meeting isn’t a time for debate, but countered Langer on most points. Bedore indicated the onus was on Langer to prove the federal government has an interest, but then added, “Yes, we will look into that.” He explained how he grew up in
Oblates developing other area lands they own. Duncan recalled two groups combined 50/50 to buy the grove – the Nature Conservancy and the Land Preservation Society of the Ottawa Valley. The Nature Conservancy would likely have lost a court battle if opposing the severance, he said, which would have cost much more. “Instead we said, Let’s be good neighbours,” Duncan said. “We weren’t going to use our donors’ dollars for a frivolous legal battle.” He said doing a land survey at the time of purchase was cost prohibitive, at $30- to $50,000. And he emphatically rejects the slippery slope suggestion. “No. Absolutely not. There’s no slippery slope, only flat lawn,” he said. “We are happy to be guardians of the Grove and it is not our mandate to not conserve nature.” A final issue raised at the adjustment meeting had to do with the road allowance. Alex Winter, who owns the Gillies House and also shares the road allowance, said he had no objection to the deal between the other parties. However, he noted the Nature Conservancy and township could be held liable if emergency crews had difficulty reaching a fire in the area. The road is too narrow, he said. No clear response was given to the statement. Langer did not say whether he or anyone else intends to take the issue to the OMB.

McGonigal Work continues It appears the Town of Arnprior was overly optimistic when it hoped the two-week delay in getting the McGonigal Street rehabilitation project underway was not going to change the completion date by much. However, instead of being completed by the end of August, it will be close to the end of September before the work is finished, the town announced last week.

OPP investigate child luring attempt Sherry Haaima

Parents in the Upper Ottawa Valley are on high alert after an OPP report that a suspicious man in a ski mask attempted to lure a youth into his van in Calabogie Saturday evening. At 5:27 p.m. Aug. 29, Renfrew OPP officers responded after a 12year-old boy reported the suspicious incident to his relatives. He was in Calabogie playing with a cousin when they began to bike home, tak-
ing separate routes. The boy was on his bike on Mill Street near the community centre when he stopped to look at a black van on a path or dirt road. The van had just started and startled him, say police. The male driver, who was wearing all black, including a ski mask, opened the door and told the youth to “come here. The boy refused and the man walked towards him and placed his hand on his shoulder. The youth pulled away and took off. He was followed by the van for
a short time. The youth met up with his cousin near the school and proceeded to his relative’s home where he reported the incident. The suspect is described as 5’10” to 6’ tall and skinny. He was driving a black van with tinted windows and no licence plates. Anyone with information on this suspect or incident is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Family members of the children quickly took to social media to spread the message about what happened and warn other parents.

Several homes in the Pakenham area were victimized by thieves on Saturday, Aug. 22. Lanark OPP are seeking the assistance of the public in trying to find out who is responsible for a number of break-ins to the homes. Residents on the 12th Concession of Pakenham reported a suspicious vehicle in the area and thefts from their home. The initial complaint was received about 5:40 a.m. Investigation revealed that five other homes had been broken into and further thefts had occurred in the immediate area. Anyone who has any knowledge of these offences is asked to contact the Lanark County Detachment OPP using the toll-free number 1-888-3101122 or Lanark County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
1 to report the incident. A home on River road in McNabBraeside was broken into Aug. 24. Sometime between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m., the home was entered by a female through an unlocked window. Once inside several pieces of jewelry were stolen. The suspect was observed by a witness getting into a grey four-door car, similar to a Toyota Corolla or Dodge Dart. An older male was driving the car. They left driving westbound, but were seen a short time later travelling eastbound, back towards Arnprior on River Road. The suspect is described as female, 60ish years old, 5’ 7” tall, dark tanned skin, grey hair in a jaw length bob style, wearing brown capris and brown running shoes. The male driver of the vehicle is described as wearing prescription glasses, with a receding hair line and grey and black hair. He also appeared to have a large belly. A wallet was stolen from a residence on Burnstown Road sometime between Aug. 20 and 27. The owner advised they were unsure how the theft occurred as the home is always locked when they are not there, and there was no sign of forced entry. A quantity of change was stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Lake Street in Arnprior. Change and a radio faceplate were stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Alton Street in McNab-Braeside overnight Aug. 22.

A flurry of thefts has been reported in the Arnprior area as the summer holidays wind down. A John Street resident reported a kayak stolen from his property near the LCBO at 3:30 a.m. Monday, while an Elgin Street homeowner said a brazen thief damage her gate and fence trying to enter her home in the middle of the day Monday. The would-be thief, a gray-haired man with a dark hatchback had a drilled but was thwarted because he could get through the gate just after 1 p.m., she said. The suspect in the theft of the red Preception kayak covered with stickers was a well-dressed man in his 30s or 40s in a white Ford Ranger extenda-cab pickup with a white cover. He used bolt-cutters, which he dropped when police arrived, to cut the kayak off the fence. A screen door was damaged at a property on Carss Street in Arnprior. The victim advised the damage occurred overnight on Wednesday, Aug. 26 and that the barbecue may have been used as well. A screen in a door was cut at a home on Edward Street South in Arnprior on Friday, August 28 at about. 2:45 a.m. The homeowner knows the suspect and decided not to involve the police, after calling 9-1-

Tories’ anti-terror legislation criticized Continued from front
Lehoux said his Liberal Party would focus on preventing radicalization and home-grown terrorism by providing economic opportunities and education. “You have to reach out to people before they turn (to despair),” he said. C-51 is the government’s controversial anti-terror legislation. Critics say it threatens numerous charter rights, including freedom of speech and assembly. Lehoux said the Conservatives “went too far” with the bill, and charged that the NDP would abolish it without any plan in place for security. Only his party offers a middle way, he said. Some legislation was needed, he said, because Canada is the only western nation to have none in place. But “more people have been killed by moose on the single lane highway in our riding than by terrorism.” The Liberals offered 10 amendments to C-51; only three were enacted. The war veteran accidently injured in Afghanistan said last year’s lone wolf attacks on Parliament Hill and in Quebec should not be overblown. The individuals involved were mentally unstable and, while making thin reference to Islamic extremists, were not under the guidance of terror or-

Klietsch’s Green Party holds that C-51 is counterproductive. “It does the opposite of allowing Canadians to be safer,” he said. “It allows CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) to take over the RCMP is some areas.” He points to CSIS’s failure in the 1980s to inform RCMP of Air India prior to Canada’s worst act of terror. It tried to take matters into its own hands but failed, he said. The Green Party would repeal C-51 and introduce new legislation requiring CSIS to share information with the RCMP. “Being secure is being free,” he said, noting that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is playing into the terrorists hands by fostering an atmosphere

ganizations, he said. However, the Conservatives have used the violent incidents to stoke fears of terrorism on Canadian soil, he added. The result being a surveillance state that is antithetical to democracy. “We shouldn’t have to give up any of our freedoms for security,” Lehoux said. “We need robust legislation to root out potential threats, but we need to prevent radicalization before it takes root.”

of paranoia and bigotry. “Global warming is killing more Canadians right now than is terrorism.” Klietsch linked criminality with domestic security. He noted the steady decline in crime rates, yet the Conservatives have increased incarceration. Evidence from the U.S. shows incarceration rates do little to prevent crime. The same is true about the Conservatives’ mandatory minimum sentences, he added. The Green Party would remove some crimes, including the possession of marijuana. “We’d take the profits from pot out of the hands of black market gangs,” Klietsch said. “I would go further than my party. I support the regulation and taxation of more drugs. Some harder drugs such as super refined cocaine would not exist then.” NEW DEMOCRATS
McCarthy and the New Democrats hold that most powers to keep Canadians secure are already in place. CSIS operatives are allowed to talk to the parents of suspected radicals, for instance. “C-51 gives extremely broad and undefined powers,” said McCarthy, a lawyer. “Most of the powers necessary and used successfully already exist.” He said the most dangerous word in the legislation is “promote.” It could be used to harass and arrest opponents of right wing ideologies, including environmentalists and unionized workers. He cedes that security is a problem, but that it is extreme conservatives in the Tea Party movement and elsewhere that authorities need to monitor. “We need to worry more about lone wolves in radical right wing groups than in Islamic groups,” McCarthy said. The emotional reaction – anger, fear, paranoia – spread by the Conservatives and Liberals led to a knee-jerk reaction following the deaths of two soldiers in Canada last year, McCarthy said. “Most Canadians prefer a measured approach, like the NDP’s,” he said. “The Conservatives justified connecting civil disobedience with terrorism and had to back off a little bit. And the Liberals joined them. We think most Canadians don’t want to overboard with this.” He noted the Conservatives started the election with two topics: security and the economy. The former isn’t scaring voters in sufficient numbers, so Harper hasn’t been mentioning it lately. “It’s not registering. It’s not a focal point for Canadians.” Gallant, who was scheduled to open a campaign office in Arnprior Tuesday, didn’t respond to a request for an interview. However, at the opening of her Pembroke campaign office last week she did call the safety and security of Canadian one of two main election issues along with the economy.
Gallant welcomes tax relief promise for service clubs to service clubs like the Arnprior Lions Club, the Arnprior Rotary Club and the Arnprior Optimists, Gallant said. “The Conservative Party of Canada recognizes the importance of service clubs to our communities, and wants to support the excellent charitable work and volunteerism they provide. The proposal will make the cost of service club memberships more affordable through the Charitable Donations Tax Credit.” If re-elected, service club membership fees will be included as donations Canadians can claim under the Charitable Donations Tax Credit, providing a 15 to 29
per cent value on service club members’ taxes each year, she explained. Gallant said the riding is fortunate to have a wide variety of service clubs, including the Royal Canadian Legions, Knights of Columbus, Rotary Clubs, the Lions, Masons, Shriners, Kiwanis, and KinCanada. “Service clubs are involved in countless initiatives ranging from providing opportunities for young people, Canadians with disabilities, and vulnerable communities, to eradicating diseases and providing disaster relief overseas, to supporting community infrastructure projects.”
Duffy trial offers ‘sad commentary’ on leadership of Harper: McCarthy Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke NDP candidate Dan McCarthy says the Mike Duffy trial is a condemnation of Stephen Harper’s leadership and Canada’s Senate. In a news release, McCarthy says “The Mike Duffy trial is a sad commentary on the moral leadership of Stephen Harper and the waste and privilege of Canada’s Senate. “It is nearly impossible to sort out the claims and counter-claims, but the overall picture is very clear,” he added. “A ring of deception was developed by the top people in Stephen Harper’s government to protect the Prime Minister.” McCarthy said that as the facts come to light, “we learn that the highest people in public office in Canada deliberately misled Canadians and they were willing to use taxpayer-subsidized funds in the process. The whole affair is an utter disgrace, especially coming from a government supposedly committed to cleaning up corruption.”
The Liberal campaign in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke is attempting to appeal to animal lovers. Jeff Lehoux’s campaign is holding a barbecue and pet wash in Robert Simpson Park in Arnprior this Saturday, Sept. 5 from noon to 7 p.m. The invitation to people to attend applauds the “amazing work that individuals and organizations do on an everyday basis for animals in need.” The event will help “celebrate our precious pets,” the invitation goes on to say.

Liberals make appeal to riding’s pet owners
He said the investigation of Duffy and colleagues like Pamela Wallin, Mac Harb, Patrick Brazeau come as a “timely reminder of the need to take steps to finally abolish the Senate,” as the NDP has advocated for years. “Stephen Harper came to office with big promises for the Senate, and after nine years, it’s a disaster,” said McCarthy. “Liberal reform proposals will do nothing to rid Canada of the privilege and waste – close to $90 million annually – the Senate represents,” he added. As for Harper firing subordinates, McCarthy quoted Tom Mulcair: “It’s the person who named Mike Duffy to the Senate, who is the same person who hired that chief of staff, the person who was in charge of the Prime Minister’s Office when the $90,000 cheque was given: that’s the Prime Minister.” Canadians should hold Harper ultimately responsible – and vote accordingly on Oct. 19, concluded McCarthy.

Fines alone not enough A
mong a number of changes made by the province to improve road safety, perhaps the most important are those aimed at deterring distracted driving. Passed by the Liberal government at Queen’s Park earlier this summer and in effect Sept. 1, the Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act takes aim at distracted driving by increasing the range of fines to $300 to $1,000, applying three demerit points, and adding harsh sanctions to novice drivers convicted of distracted driving. These measures are welcome, but it remains to be seen whether or not they will prove effective in reducing one of the most significant risks on the road. Referred to by the Ontario Provincial Police as the “number one killer on the roads,” the problem of distracted driving has increased significantly over the past decade alongside the proliferation of smartphones. In 2013, the OPP reported more deaths from distracted driving than either impaired driving or incidents related to high speeds. Only just last year, the base fine under the Highway Traffic Act was raised from $155 to $280, yet the provincial government felt compelled to implement stiffer penalties all the same. This speaks to a couple things: that distract-
ed driving remains a problem and that initial penalty increases have had little effect. So what makes the province think the new penalties will decrease this dangerous activity now? Will drivers all of a sudden decide that, faced with the possibility of having to pay $1,000, it’s not worth finding out why their phone just chimed? The compulsive checking of notifications is part of smartphone culture - it will be a really difficult habit to break in any case. It’s hard to see how deterrence of distracted driving will take place without increased enforcement. That means more police cruising the streets looking for offenders, or the setting up of smartphone traps – something designed to crack down on offenders. Distracted driving should be much easier to catch than even impaired drivers. Just look for those looking at their lap. Added enforcement should also pay for itself; at up to $1,000 a pop, it would pay for a lot of policing. Distracted driving needs to be curtailed, but we may need to endure more startling statistics if all the province intends to do is fiddle with the numbers.
Work crew helps make special church celebration possible
Letter-writer David Hooper says the Primrose Cartage and Excavating work crew on McGonigal Street helped ensure an important church event went off without a hitch.
To the Editor: The congregation of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church wish to extend their sincere appreciation to Primrose Cartage and Excavating who are currently doing road work on McGonigal Street outside our church. Last week, they were advised of a scheduled wedding and a special 100th birthday celebration, wihich was to take place this past weekend.

Exploring the history of Arnprior through a walking tour years from the Crown Bakery, an insurance office, to a hardware and grocery store. The renovated building next door with the Arnprior Book Shop and Coffee House also dates back to the late 1800s and numerous businesses have come and gone as well. Edward Jones Investments and Carmen Burgess Denture Clinic on Madawaska Boulevard work out of their building that first opened doors in 1853. Denis McNamara also had a hand in building it. T. McCormick and Son Grocery was the first business to take up shop there. The trail takes the turn out of the downtown area and up to Harrington Street and into the subdivision to find the Arnprior Wesleyan Church. The original church was built in the late 19th century as a local Methodist Church, but the trail information notes there is no longer a congregation. A few blocks up the Emmanuel Anglican Church can be found. It was built in 1862 on land donated by Daniel McLachlin. The walk
heads back onto John Street North and the residence with the number 293. The name McLachlin pops up again. Hugh F. McLachlin built the brick home in 1874, for his widowed mother. Across the way is the Kirkman House, which was originally constructed by Claude McLachlin in the 1870s. For nearly 80 years, it was known as the Sacred Heart Convent. Heading farther up the street to the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital. The house look is by design as Daniel McLachlin, grandson to the first Daniel, originally lived on the premises. The remodeling of the residence into the hospital was raised with funds by the people of Arnprior. Weaving the way to St. John Chrysostom Church on Albert Street, I made the detour into the cemetery since the destination is not marked on the Heritage Trail. Boston made a point of highlighting some of its burying grounds. I decided to see if I could find any sites with the name McLachlin. The set-up is unusual for
me, as all the gravestones face away from the main entrance. It took about five minutes to deduce the oldest sites were actually at the other end of the grounds from where I entered. During my brief search, three mentions of Daniel McLachlin caught my eye. One Daniel died in 1877 at only 29 years old and the other died in 1913 at 30. It’s likely the Daniel McLachlin who is tied to Arnprior’s beginnings, died in 1872. St. John Chrysostom Church is the original Roman Catholic chapel in Arnprior and began in 1857. A new church was
constructed in 1873 and it would be 1908 before all the work was completed on one of Arnprior’s noteworthy landmarks. The final location mapped on the Heritage Trail is Grace St. Andrew’s United Church back on John Street North. The building was constructed in 1890. The official laying of the cornerstone was done by Mrs. D. McLachlin. A couple doors down is the Grace Methodist Church which was built in 1894 and became a Christian Education Centre. By now, the trail is completed and leads back into downtown Arnprior.

Walking the Freedom Trail in Boston, Massachusetts became the inspiration behind attempting the Heritage Trail in Arnprior. The 2.5-mile (roughly 4-km) Freedom Trail has 16 highlighted sights. It is a must for those who may have any kind of interest in history. There are churches, meeting houses, burying grounds and a monument to an American Revolution battle. All stops ranging with dates from the 1600s and into the 1700s. May 2014 was my trip to Boston and the trail was explored. One section was explained by a guide, while the rest was covered whenever there was time from touring other parts within the city. Arnprior’s Heritage Trail is one of three ‘Millennium Trails’ found within the town – the other two are Gillies and McLachlin trails. The maps were produced by the Millennium Trail Committee with help from ADHS students and historical information given from the Arnprior Story and the Arnprior & District Museum. Some of funding came within the town but also the Canada Millennium Partnership Program, which “promote local, national and international partnerships that leave a positive legacy for future generations.” Like the Freedom Trail, the Heritage Trial also has 16 sights to check out. If the map from the Arnprior website was followed to the last detail, the distance is about 2.9 kilometres on foot from start to finish. It was easy to extend the length though. The kick-off point begins at the museum, which is housed in a structure dating back to 1898. It was the Post Office and Customs House at that time. Architect Thomas G. Fuller designed the building and also the first Parliament Buildings of Canada. It was designated a heritage building in 1977. Across the street from the museum is the Bank of Nova Scotia, where the location stretches back to 1874 and the Bank of Ottawa first ran operations. Making the turn onto Daniel Street North finds the Macnamara residence. The information brings up the most repeated name for the Heritage Trail McLachlin. In 1851, Daniel McLachlin bought land for what would eventually turn into Arnprior today. The name Arnprior was actually coined back in 1831 by the Buchanan Brothers. Arnprior was incorporated as a village in 1862 and in 2012 marked its 150th anniversary. McLachlin is considered one of the Ottawa Valley’s most enterprising lumbermen. He had built the house on Daniel Street North for his oldest son Hugh. It was eventually owned by the
Macnamara family. Charles Macnamara, field naturalist and photographer, had made an impression in Arnprior as he was part of the movement into photography in the early 1900s. The organic spa located up the street from the Macnamara home was built in 1860 and was an Oddfellows Hall for most of the 20th century. Looping around the block and back down towards the museum on John Street North is the Simply Beautiful Bridal Boutique. The business is situated inside a skyscraper - well, in the 1880s that was the claim, according to the Heritage Trail information. The Arcade Department Store did business there. The O’Brien Theatre has history back to 1906, but what stands today only goes to 1919 and people knew it as the Casino Theatre on opening day. The Super Lucky Dollar Store building was built by Denis McNamara in the mid1850’s and was coined the Craig Block. Many businesses came and went through the

Fatal collison David Bean, a 51-year-old from Caledon, Ont., has been identified as the victim of the latest fatal crash on Highway 17. Bean died Aug. 26 when hit by a transport truck shortly after departing Logos Land on Highway 17 east of Cobden. The Bean family had been camping at the resort. Highway 17 was closed for more than 12 hours as police investigated. Preliminary investigation shows the car was eastbound and entered the westbound lane and was struck head on by the transport. The transport entered the south ditch and started on fire. Diesel fuel was also spilled at the scene. The truck was carrying a load of sawdust. No charges will be laid. County officials continue to stress the need to four-lane the highway through Renfrew County.

Ontario implemented tougher penalties for distracted driving, new rules to protect cyclists and measures to ensure the safety of tow truck drivers and children riding school buses effective Sept. 1. Penalties for distracted driving include an increased set fine of $490 and three demerit points upon conviction. Novice drivers will receive a minimum 30-day suspension for the first conviction and longer suspensions for subsequent convictions. The ‘dooring’ of cyclists will carry an increased set fine of $365 and three demerit points upon conviction. New rules will also require drivers to leave a one-metre distance where possible when passing cyclists, or they may face the penalty of a $110 set fine and two demerit points. Cyclists who don’t use the required bicycle lights and reflectors face a higher set fine of $110. Drivers must leave a safe passing distance between themselves and tow trucks stopped on the roadside to provide assistance. Failing to slow down and move over for a tow truck can result in a set fine of $490. The new rules come a week after a tow truck

Paid for by the Government of Ontario
Ontario residents are paying more for the privilege to drive in the province. Driver and vehicle licence fee increases took effect Sept. 1. Fees for driver licences, renewals, replacements and commercial permits are among those on the rise. Validation sticker costs have increased to $108 from $98 and new driver’s licence and licence renewals rose to $81.50 from $80. Starting Nov. 1, driver licence replacement will go up to $28 from $25 and vehicle number plate fees will rise to $20 from $15. There are about 12.1 million vehicles registered in the province. This is the last of staged increases that began in 2013 when vehicle licence validation fees were $74. At the time, the Liberal government noted it had been some 15 years since the last fee boost. The increases are supposed to help cover the rising costs of maintaining and keeping safe provincial roads, bridges and highways as well as the delivery of driver and vehicle licensing services and support other public services. A full list of the fee increases can be viewed on the Ministry of Transportation website at www.mto.gov.on.ca.

Whether this young Blue Jay will smash its acorn open and eat its contents or stash the nut away for later consumption is anyone’s guess. As the acorn crop is not huge this year, we may not see many of these colourful birds this winter.

Mississippi Mills begins program to protect ash trees against invasion Kkent@metroland.com
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) might be unstoppable, but the Municipality of Mississippi Mills has already started to protect its urban ash trees against the coming invasion. “We’re taking proactive measures
to save the ash trees in our community,” said Mayor Shaun McLaughlin at a presentation of the tree-saving procedure at the Almonte Community Centre on Aug. 20. “Right now, inoculation is the best defense we have.” Ash trees in Almonte’s urban core, in areas such as Gemmill Park, began
receiving doses of the EAB-repelling liquid TreeAzin on Aug. 19. The product will be administered to several trees identified by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) in their inventory process. An Ottawa not-for-profit called Trillium Tree Experts is working with Mississippi Mills and four other

Ontario municipalities to inoculate the trees, as only licensed professionals can administer the product. “The Emerald Ash Borer is a plague of almost biblical proportions,” McLaughlin said. “I think that protecting our trees could not have come soon enough.” The EAB invasion is already affecting areas as close as Ottawa in devastating ways, McLaughlin said, and it’s heading this way. Already, signs of the EAB’s destruction have been seen in both Pakenham and Almonte. Mississippi Mills has an initial supply of TreeAzin capable of treating a group of ash trees up to 2,000 centimeters in total diameter. Trees need five millilitres of the product per centimeter of diameter; the bigger the tree, the larger the dose needed. On Aug. 20, during the demonstration, the large ash tree in front of the Almonte Community Centre received a dose of 152 millilitres of TreeAzin, which was injected into its base. The product, one of four approved EAB prevention chemicals in Canada, takes only 48 hours to spread throughout the tree. Once distributed, EAB larvae will no longer feed on the treated tree’s leaves and adult females living there are rendered virtually sterile, said Chris McIntyre, a licensed administrator from Trillium Tree Experts. “There’s nothing we can do to
stop EAB from coming,” he said. “What we are trying to do is slow the damage. “What really needs to happen is a reduction in EAB levels,” McIntyre added, “but for now we can try to protect the healthy trees.” Protecting healthy ash trees is a viable option in the face of the EAB invasion, said Etienne Green of Trillium Tree Experts. Often, the cost of treating the tree is less than the cost to remove it after it dies, he said. The large ash tree treated on Aug. 20 received a dose of 152 millilitres at a cost of about $225, McIntyre said. Treatment needs to be repeated every two years in July or August in order to effectively combat the EAB, but McIntyre said his company strives to provide easy and affordable service. Homeowners who are concerned about ash trees on their property can contact a licensed TreeAzin provider like Trillium Tree Experts to provide a free assessment and estimate for inoculation. Healthy trees have a high chance of survival if treated early, but McIntyre said not much can be done after the signs of damage begin to show. “The EAB is a very big problem facing the area, and it’s not slowing down,” Green said during the demonstration. “Proactive prevention measures are really our only defense at this time.”

Ema Lee Fashions is not your typical ladies clothing store. The store is located seven kilometers north of Perth Ontario on Hwy. 511 in the quaint hamlet of Downtown Balderson. Upon entering Ema Lee Fashions, the staff greets you and offers their friendly help. Then you stand in awe as you realize the size of the store which is filled upstairs and down with ladies apparel. But it’s not like your usual Big Box clothing store, with row upon row of the same clothing showing up in every store! This store now carries a total of 35 different lines from sizes 6 to 3X. Besides ladies clothing they have the largest collection of bathing suits in the Ottawa Valley year round, consisting of four name brand lines sizes 6 to 34. They also carry five brands of men’s shirts: Berkham, Black Ice, Platinum, Sergio Loui and Scala Milano. Regular sizes small to 2XL. For the big and tall, sizes L to 7XL and also a good selection of men’s polos “with pockets”!
Emily Desjardine and Gerry McSweeney are the owners of the store. They both have a sincere commitment to the business and their customers. It’s hard work, but they both enjoy supplying their customers with different, unique, quality clothing at reasonable prices. In order to accomplish this goal, they travel twice a year to Las Vegas and Los Angeles and choose what U.S. lines and styles they think their customers would enjoy. They also travel to Canadian Manufacturers and now carry five main Canadian Lines. The hard work has paid off because the results have been outstanding. Customers have
literally come to shop from every corner of the world— quite an accomplishment in twelve years! Both Emily and Gerry agree that it is most rewarding to see people feel good about themselves in what they have chosen to wear from their store. This Labour Day weekend from Thursday to Monday, they are having their twelfth anniversary celebration which will include many “in house” specials. Ema Lee Fashions is open 7 days a week, Monday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m. till 4:00 p.m.

SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND
Blizzards for CHEO On Miracle Treat Day at Arnprior Dairy Queen on Aug. 13, an impressive $3,372.66 was raised for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario from the sale of blizzards. Stacey LeBlanc, right, and Maggie and Bella Hamilton enjoyed their treats, three of 892 blizzards sold that day. The hot weather led to James Hamilton deciding to have something else. Owner Jane Ferrari said compared to the cooler temperatures last year, this time around customers were ordering more than just the blizzards. A donation bucket in the drive-thru also contributed to the total for a final tally on par with previous years.
Dentistry @ Arnprior held a free barbecue in the parking lot of the Arnprior Mall on Aug. 21. “This is our second year and it’s for the community,” explained office manager Glenda Reid. Staff served hamburgers, hot dogs and drinks for the lunch hour. “It a fun event and we meet lots of people, some don’t even know we are in the mall.” Helping serve up the food were Simran Sandhu, Dr. Neeraj Bansal, Reid, Nicole Graham, Brittany Saylor and Tiffany Smiley.

Almost 20 per cent of Ontario students fall below literacy standard Results from the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) written by Grade 10 students in April, indicate 18 per cent of students don’t meet the literacy standard set by the province. That’s the percentage of students unsuccessful in writing the test for the first time. However, it means that a large majority (82 per cent) of Grade 10 students are able to demonstrate the minimum literacy skills required.
Most Ontario students who were not successful on the test in Grade 10 also had not met the provincial reading and writing standards when they were in Grade 6, the education ministry noted in a news release last week announcing the results. While the percentage of students meeting the reading standard in Grade 6 has been steadily increasing for many years, the ministry says new strategies are needed to support those who

do not meet the standard, so they can turn their literacy struggles around by Grade 10. Five years ago, 59 per cent of students improved to be successful on the Grade 10 literacy test after having not met the reading standard in Grade 6. In 2015, that number has dropped to 48 per cent. “Assessing all of our students against provincial standards is what allows us to uncover important trends such as these and EQAO will continue investigating this decline,” said EQAO chair Dave Cooke. “A school system that’s serious about continuous improvement must have system-wide evidence of student achievement that’s both objective and reliable.” “We know that for many students who didn’t meet the provincial standard in elementary school, receiving the right attention and support has helped them overcome their early literacy struggles,” added EQAO CEO Bruce Ro-
drigues. “This effort must continue if we are to ensure that all students have the basic literacy skills they need to participate fully in society.” Of the 127,867 students who wrote the OSSLT for the first time in April, 105,309 (82%) were successful. Almost 9 out of 10 female students (86%) passed, while almost 8 out of 10 male students (78%) were successful. More than 7 out of 10 (73%) English language learners were successful and just over half (54%) of students with special education needs passed. The success rate on the OSSLT has remained stable for many years, being either 82 or 83 per cent since 2011. More detailed results for school boards and secondary schools throughout the province will be released on Sept. 23.
Insurance for students going off to school When setting children off to university, there are many things a parent must consider. Clothing, text books, housing, developing a personal budget – it’s an exciting but labour-intensive endeavor. With all the obvious checked off, one parents may not consider is to ensure their child is adequately protected from an insurance perspective. Alex Walker, national director of claims relations for RSA Canada, offers the following information for parents with children attending university in the fall. When to get renters insurance: Covered on campus? Most home insurance policies have some element of coverage for children under a specified age while living in residence or away

from school. Parents should review their policy limits or contact their broker to see if they have enough coverage in the event of a loss. Auto insurance: Parents should ensure that their auto policy covers college-age children even while they are away. This way they are properly protected for accident benefits whether they are driving their parent’s car or in another vehicle away from home. Parents should remind their children of the perils of ride sharing programs (such as Uber) where coverage and protection are a grey area. Liability Insurance: Most home insurance policies have some element of coverage for children under a specified age while living in residence or away from school.

CUPE’s education workers pressure province with job action threat High school teachers have suspended job action, but Renfrew County public schools went back Tuesday to a work-to-rule campaign by elementary teachers and the threat of one from support staff. The threat of a loss of extracurriculars dissipated in many schools when the public high school teacher and both the secondary and elementary Catholic teachers reached tentative agreements with the provincial government on new contracts. However, job action by public elementary teachers continued into the new school year as talks between the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario resumed Sept. 1, the same day as Renfrew County students went back to class. As well, members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), representing 55,000 education workers in Ontario’s schools, have voted overwhelmingly in favour of escalating job actions in the second week of school. Close to 400 CUPE delegates from across the province gathered Aug. 29 to map out job action strategies for their first legal strike day of Sept. 10. RAMP-UP POSSIBLE
the province, in all sectors, from social services, to municipal staff, to health sector personnel and the universities, and they’re backing the education workers all the way,” said CUPE Ontario president Fred Hahn. “Our members are in every community, living and working with education workers. We’re in this together, speaking with one voice. And it will be heard loud and clear.” Education workers include educational assistants, office administrators, custodians, tradespeople, instructors, library technicians, early childhood educators, IT specialists, speech pathologists and many others. They help keep the schools safe, clean and well organized while providing extra support to ensure all students have the opportunity to reach their potential, says the CUPE release.
Both the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association (OECTA) and the Ontario Catholic School Trustees’ Association (OCSTA) have expressed delight that a tentative agreement has been reached ending the threat of a teachers’ work-to-rule campaign. “We appreciate the government’s efforts and those of the Catholic school trustees in reaching this tentative agreement,” said teachers president Ann Hawkins. “We worked hard to address the concerns of our members and believe this agreement will protect them as well as the quality of education in our schools.” In welcoming the deal, OCSTA president

Beginning with work-to-rule, the plan will gradually increase to rotating strikes and eventually ramp up to a full-scale province-wide strike, if necessary, says CUPE in a news release. However, there are signs that the job action may be avoided. “We heard from the government last week and they are now offering us more bargaining days,” said Terri Preston, chair of CUPE’s Ontario School Boards co-ordinating committee. “These additional days are a good sign,” said Preston. “We’ve only had three so far.

Catholic board students soak up learning, fun adventure in summer school programs
Renfrew County Catholic School Board students were soaking up more than sunshine in summer school programs in July. They were expanding their literacy and numeracy skills with lots of fun adventures and active learning activities at schools across Renfrew County. “Teachers incorporated cooperative and active learning principles in the summer programs, with the arts or religion, science, history, geography and social studies themes,” said principal Jody Weller, who led the programs in the Arnprior, Renfrew and Madawaska areas. “The overall focus was to integrate literacy and numeracy activities in a fun and interactive way to engage students,” Weller said. Literacy activities stretched from readalouds and shared reading, to independent reading and writing activities. To expand numeracy, students played an assortment of games, including Thirty-One, Yahtzee, Monopoly, Clue and Chess, among other things. “Summer school was a great success!” reported principal Karen Keels, who led the

Pembroke and Petawawa programs. “Students were able to spend quality instructional time with qualified, enthusiastic and energetic teachers to help boost their literacy and numeracy skills. A strong emphasis was placed on exploring questions while providing students with a fun and engaging summer program.” In Arnprior, St. Joseph’s Elementary School offered classes for Arnprior-area students up to Grade 8. St. Joseph’s also offered a high school credit recovery class for St. Joseph’s Catholic High School students from the Arnprior area. Meanwhile, St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew offered summer school to students up to Grade 7. Meanwhile, Bishop Smith Catholic High School in Pembroke offered a credit recovery program, allowing students to recover course credits they had missed during the school year. An online Grade 12 religion credit course, HRE4M, also was provided at Bishop Smith, as well as an Individual and Family Living Grade 9 credit course, called HIF 10.
New to summer school this year was a recreation program for Kindergarten to Grade 3 students. The program operated at Holy Name Catholic School in Pembroke and St. John Bosco in Barry’s Bay, and was a big hit with students who participated in both indoor and outdoor activities such as basketball, yoga, dance water fun and tennis. Two big events during the summer were the popular summer camps for Grade 4 students held at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew and Bishop Smith in Pembroke. The Crusader Camp was held at Bishop Smith from June 29 to July 3 with 67 participants. St. Joseph’s held its Jaguar Camp from July 7 to 10, with 55 participants. Activities in both camps included HILA science workshops with fun experiments, such as using lemons to conduct energy, as well as organized sports and games, drama and music activities, and 21st Century Learning Skills using Destination Imagination activities. Healthy snacks were served daily with a pizza party for all participants on the last day.

As more than 600,000 university and college students across Ontario go back to school, many becoming renters off-campus for the first time, Ontario is reminding students to understand their rights and responsibilities as tenants. Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act outlines the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants for most residential properties in the province and and includes rules about: • how to terminate a lease; • when rent can be increased; • repairs to rental units; • rent receipts and deposits, subletting, having pets and changing locks; To help your rental experience go as smoothly as possible: • be aware of your rights and responsibilities as a tenant; • keep open lines of communication with your landlord to minimize disagreements; • ask your landlord to agree to rental terms in writing; • always keep copies of documents that you provide to your landlord. Remember te Ontario Property and Sales Tax Credits provides up to $1,000 annually to those with offcampus housing costs — whether you rent or own.

Leaps & Bounds opens second children’s centre Arnprior and District Child Care Services, which has been in the community for more than 20 years, expanded to Renfrew this week. Leaps & Bounds Children’s Centre-Renfrew opened its doors at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School on Monday. Leaps and Bounds supervisor Shelly Mosseau explained that after such success providing quality child care in Arnprior at Leaps & Bounds Children’s Centre attached to AJ Charbonneau Public School, the Renfrew County Catholic School Board approached the Arnprior-based organization to partner in Renfrew. “The Arnprior site has bloomed over the years, and is known for providing exceptional care for toddlers through school age children all under one roof,” she noted. “There is no doubt that the new partnership with the Catholic board along with the support from the County of Renfrew will be as successful.”

Life after high school comes with a unique set of lessons in financial management. Whether studying full-time, starting an apprenticeship or renting your first place, developing smart financial habits can lead to a more secure future, advises the provincial finance ministry in a back-to-school news release. With so many financial options available to students and young adults, it’s important to learn how to manage money sensibly to build a strong credit record and limit additional debt. Know your options when choosing a credit card. Be sure to consider: • Interest rates - they can vary from card to card; • Annual fees - some credit cards charge fees for special features such as travel insurance or rewards miles; • Grace periods and penalties watch out for fees and penalties for late or missed payments. Credit cards may seem like an easy source of funds in case of an emergency, but you can easily run into trouble if you use credit irresponsibly or pay for big-ticket items like tuition or rent. Ideally, pay credit card balances in full each month to avoid interest charges. If an urgent need and cash shortage means that’s not possible, pay the minimum amount on time. Otherwise, you may do long-term damage to your credit score that takes years to rebuild. One important benefit of having smart financial habits is building a strong credit record for the future. Credit scores reflect how well a person handled repaying their credit in the past. The score is a three-digit number that is calculated by a number of factors including a person’s payment history, what they currently owe and how long they’ve had credit. By law, consumer reporting agencies must get consent before sharing a copy of your report. Your credit score impacts your ability to get a loan in the future, including mortgages, and could also affect your borrowing rates. Check your credit report annually for errors – it’s free. To improve a poor credit rating, pay off debts and allow time to pass to show that your payment habits have improved. The Ontario Securities Commission, an Ontario regulatory agency, offers handy financial resources for all stages of life, including after high school.

So You Think You Can Dance may be a popular reality television show, but Yasemin Gumus is hoping to attract dancers of all abilities. The doors opened to Silver Steps Dance and Arts studio back in December, but it wasn’t until March when interest started to increase for the Elgin Street West location. “I am living my dream,” said Gumus. “I want longevity and a viable business to pass on what I know about dance.” Gumus was born in Turkey and grew up in Arnprior, the town she calls home. She always loved dancing, although she didn’t start her career until the age of 21 when she went to the Fred Astaire School in Ottawa. The inspiration to pursue dancing came in a newspaper advertisement. It offered training to become a dance teacher and an opportunity to travel, which was the part that sold her on the idea. She eventually became a six-time ballroom dance champion across Canada and the United States. The farthest she ever competed was in the Bahamas with a second-place result there. Jean- Marc Généreux of So You Think Can Dance fame and his wife, France Mousseau, helped her with coaching along the way. Upon her return to Arnprior in 2009, she became a teacher for the Arnprior School of Dance. The decision was soon made to be a mobile instructor with a studio at her home, but she also took to the road and taught at other residences. The seeds of running her own studio grew along the way. “I want (Silver Steps) to be a collaborative dance and arts space,” said Gumus. She is willing to give the space over to other artists like those who want to teach yoga, or to an art instructor or for someone looking to host a seminar on the arts and health. Gumus volunteers for the Arnprior Humane

The oil furnace wasn’t heating all the rooms, and they had to close off a portion of their home. The couple shared this comment: “Without this assistance it would have been an extremely difficult situation. We would have had to leave our home, as we wouldn’t be able to heat it. “We were treated with the utmost respect by the Renfrew County Housing Corporation … they were extremely good with us. I simply can’t say enough … it made all the difference to us.” The program funding is limited and is based on first-come first-serve.

funding sources available for home repairs. “I am very pleased about the positive impact that this program makes in the prevention of homelessness in our communities and allows the residents to stay in their home longer,” said Renfrew County Housing Corporation Board chair Debbie Robinson. “This funding provides assistance to ensure that homeowners in our community do not have to live in discomfort or less than ideal circumstances while they struggle to accumulate the funds necessary to complete the repairs,” added County Warden Peter Emon. As the winter of 2014-2015 was one of the coldest and most prolonged in the last century, the EMHRAP was a timely opportunity for a Golden Lake couple. The homeowners needed an additional heat source for their near-century old home. They have a very limited income, and support themselves with assistance from the Ontario Disability Support Program.

The world comes to Whitewater Region for paddle championships Beachburg welcomed the world Sunday to Whitewater region and the Ottawa Valley. The village pulled out all the stops on Aug.30 for the official kick-off to the International Canoe Federation (ICF) Freestyle Canoe and Kayak World Championships. The weeklong event from Aug. 31 to Sept. 5 will see 212 athletes from 29 countries competing. The definition of freestyle is ‘a white water sport where the paddler performs a range of acrobatic tricks and manoeuvres on a feature (artificial or natural) such as a wave or a hole in a given time.’ The welcoming ceremonies started with a parade through Beachburg. The impressive sight included many waving flags, horse-drawn wagons, old fire trucks, dancers, farm machinery, ton of rafting gear, bag pipes and military personnel. The athletes were loud and energetic as they walked the streets. The opening ceremony followed immediately afterwards at the fairgrounds. Paula Troutman and Art Jameson filled the main role of the masters of ceremonies, but there were plenty of others involved. During the athlete’s parade, next to the response for Canada, the Ugandan team received the loudest cheer with a standing ovation. The hurdles they had to clear, being rejected twice for visa issues, made world headlines. The ceremony was lucky enough to have the Canadian flag that flew on the Peace Tower in Ottawa and was raised during the national anthem. Lucky because, as a recent report says, although the Peace Tower flag is changed every day and people can request one – they are so popular the wait time can run as long as 48 years. The athletes were treated to Canadian flavoured-entertainment from step dancing, Scottish dancing, Starz in Motion dance and fiddle music from the Donohues and Enrights, who are part of the famous Leahy family. Native Skip Ross (Running River Man) gave a blessing. “The river is the lifeblood of Mother Earth,” he said. “It’s important to talk about the rivers.” Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski said the competition was an opportunity to show the world everything that is great about the Ottawa Valley, including the people. “This is what is great about Canada we open our arms to the world,”
said Conservative candidate and incumbent MPP Cheryl Gallant. Whitewater Region Mayor Hal Johnson welcomed the athletes and said the week was about proving that the area should and could host such an international event. “Friendships will blossom,” he said. “And a friendship with a Valley person is everlasting.” CEO of CanoeKayak Canada, Casey Wade, said he enjoyed the enthusiasm in the community and in his 40 years in sports, it was his first time in such a parade. Lluis Rabaneda, the International Canoe Federation’s Canoe Freestyle chairman, said getting athletes from 29 countries together is a big achievement because the sport is working hard for recognition and for paddlers to get funding. He officially opened the championships. The ceremony wrapped with Sam Graham lighting the torch and there was the release of homing pigeons from Carp. The agricultural society offered up a free roast beef dinner for the athletes and Canadian staples were also on hand from poutine and Tim Hortons goodies to beavertails.
Paddlers are hitting the Ottawa River at Wilderness Tours and will be judged on how they tackle what has been coined the Garberator Wave. The public is welcome to take in the week-long event. It wraps with an evening closing ceremony at Wilderness Tours this Saturday, Sept. 5. For more details, visit www.worldfreestylekayakchampionships.com.

It’s that time of year when golfers test their mettle and each other to determine who will be the club champion. The two-day event at Mountain Creek Aug. 15-16 saw Shane Fagan assume the mantle of Mountain Creek’s 2015 men’s champion. Karen Buckle, winner of the Ladies B Class, also won Ladies club champion overall. Connie Deschamps took the Ladies’ A Class championship and Dick Burton is the Men’s B champion. Men’s C Class was taken by Richard Beauchamp and D Class by Larry Bertrand. Not to be outdone, Peter Phillips aced the Senior Men’s. Many of Mountain Creek’s lady members expanded the field by playing a fun ‘non-competitive’ round as well. The whole field fully enjoyed the two-day tourney deD spite the extremely O hotLweather. “Congratulations, all.”

Jesse Andrews is making his mark in college football. Andrews, former star running back for the Arnprior District High School Redmen, rushed for 178 yards and scored two touchdowns as the Queens Golden Gaels opened their university football with a 34-24 home win over the Carleton Ravens Saturday. In a Queens news release, it reports that Queens rebounded from an early 14-0 deficit thanks to Andrews and receiver Doug Corby who each had a pair of touchdowns. The game report notes both teams slowed down offensively in the second quarter until Andrews “took over and continued to give the Ravens nightmares.” He finished off a 65-yard drive with a punch in from two yards out to even the game at 14-14. After falling behind 20-14, Queens went up 24-20 on a field goal and Corby reception. Then Andrews went to work, breaking four tackles on a 21-yard rushing touchdown. The former Redman finished with 21 rushes for 178 yards. Andrews, who is in his fourth year of civil engineering at Queens, has expanded his role in the team’s offense dramatically since his freshman year. In his first year he rushed for 105 yards on 15 carries, increased that to 473 yards on 55 carries in year two, then 762 yards in 120 carries last year. His performance Saturday pushed his Queens career total to over 1,500 yards. In his last two games against Carleton, Andrews has rushed for 422 yards. Local fans will get a chance to see Andrews in action this Sunday, Sept. 6, as Queens trav-

Among the many golfers enjoying the annual Greater Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament on the Madawaska Golf Course Aug. 21 are at top left Leslie Osborne and Candace Armstrong. The chamber offered congratulations to the winning team of Rick Farrell, Randy Farrell, Rich Peters and Hedley Brittle with a score of 12-under-par. Proceeds from the tournament go towards bursaries for students at Arnprior District High School and Arnprior/McNab students attending St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew, as well as other chamber initiatives. Above, former Arnprior and now Almonte RBC manager Jackie Laughlin and area investment advisory James Salisbury staff a sponsor table at the Greater Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament. RBC had several tables at the tournament, giving out prizes to participants.

Bluefish swim club adapts to fall pool closure, seeks new members The Arnprior Bluefish Swim Club has announced exciting changes as they make plans to adapt to the Nick Smith Centre’s pool upgrades and fall closure. The club will be ready for swimmers to dive in with the re-opening of the pool on Dec. 1. Voted best children’s organization in Arnprior by the Readers’ Choice Awards in 2014, Arnprior Bluefish, known for its “amazing group dynamics and fantastic coaching,” is taking the temporary closure in stride and will continue on with both competitive and pre-competitive training for the 2015-2016 season. Registration is set for Sept. 29 and 30 from 6-8 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre, and come mid-September, a comprehensive registration package will be available on their website at www.arnpriorbluefish.net. Newly elected club president and long-time Bluefish parent, Scott Shepherd, is optimistic about the changes the club’s executive are making to deal with the short-term pool closure. “In lieu of a later start to the season this year, we will run our programming until the end of June this year, as opposed to end of May, and through Christmas and March Break holidays for swimmers who can participate,” he explained. “We are also planning on increasing training time for our competitive swimmers.” Also new this year, non-competitive swimmers, who are either swimming in preparation to join the competitive team next year, or for
improvement to their strokes and to maintain fitness, will be given the option of two 50-minute or two 90-minute sessions per week. “As our club continues to grow and evolve, our executive is focused on meeting the needs of both our competitive and non-competitive swimmers, and we plan to make this our best year yet, following improvements to the pool during the fall closure,” said Shepherd. Returning head coach Shawn Moffatt will be ready to go for the re-opening of the Nick Smith Centre pool on Dec. 1. Moffatt coached five swimmers to Regionals this year - Mason Kenny, Rylee Moffatt, Cameron Shepherd, Alex Wroe and Zach Wroe. It was the highest number of qualifiers and swimmers that Arnprior has sent to Regionals in recent memory. Alex Wroe also qualified and swam at the provincial championships in London in June, swimming four events and achieving personal bests in 3 of 4. Moffatt speaks highly of the club and its SCOTT SHEPHERD/SUBMITTED flexibility going into this year with a delayed The closure of the Nick Smith Centre pool until Dec. 1 isn’t deterring the plans of the Arnstart: “We have a great group of focused and prior Bluefish Swim Club for another successful season. determined swimmers and they will be eager There’s a lot of momentum going into this best times in more than 400 swims.

Above, Arnprior Scouts Riley Murray and Sam Dougherty enjoy bubble soccer at Scotiajamb 15 near Halifax. Right, Arnprior Scout Riley Murray tackles zip lining. Far right, Arnprior Scout Sam Dougherty tries tree rapelling at the summer jamboree. The Arnprior Scouting movement is taking registrations on Sept. 8 from 6:30-8 p.m. at Walter Zadow School.
Scotiajam 15 is an adventure for Arnprior Scouts in Halifax Four members of Arnprior’s Scout troop made the trek east to Halifax in July to participate in Scotiajamb 15. The week-long camp brought together more than 1,200 Scouters and youth from Canada, U.S., U.K. and Australia. The scouts participated in a wide variety of adventure activities, ranging from Bubble soccer and ancient Scottish warfare practices to an extreme mud run and zip lining through the tree tops. They also learned about blacksmithing, spent a day at the beach on the ocean, made card-
board and duct tape boats and paddled them around a course, experienced what it was like to be a member of the Royal Navy in colonial Halifax, and went horseback riding through the Nova Scotian wilderness. At night the camp was filled with the noise of the youth going out and meeting new friends from different places, badge trading, watching movies, and playing amazing games. There were fireworks one night and a band the next, and, of course, just sitting back and relaxing. The Scouts thank the people of Arnprior who helped them make the journey out east.
They held numerous fundraising events throughout the year to help cover the cost and to buy new equipment.Thank you to the people who gave a donation for the apples, came to the Baden Powell dinner, bought some delicious popcorn, gave to the Scouts’ bottle drive, came to their bake sale, and brought in their waste to the E-waste recycling fundraiser. The whole Scout group in Arnprior was very active last year and is gearing up for another great year this season. Last year the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts had the opportunity to meet Man Tracker, go down-
hill skiing, learn to scuba dive, go geo-caching, have a great sleepover at the Nick Smith, tour the Arnprior fire hall, learn about the community, and, of course, make some amazing friends and memories along the way. SIGN-UP
This year you can sign up your daughter or son on Tuesday, Sept. 8 at Walter Zadow Public School in the small gym from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Scouting is for girls and boys ages 5-14. Come on out and try two meetings for free.
Arnprior Army Cadets welcome new recruits at Nick Smith Centre The 2360 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps in Arnprior is looking for new cadets as it is starting its new year this month. The Army Cadet program is open to youth aged 12 to 18 years old and there is no cost to join. New cadets interested in joining the corps are encouraged to attend at the Nick Smith
Centre at 77 James St. in Arnprior on Monday, Sept. 14 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. The commanding officer is Captain Rob Dufour. Royal Canadian Army Cadets is a national youth program sponsored by the Canadian Armed Forces in partnership with the civilian group, Army Cadet League of Canada. The aim
of the army cadet program is to instill in youth the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, as well as promoting physical fitness and stimulating an interest in the activities of the Canadian Armed Forces. Army cadets participate in fun activities such as fall and winter camping, expeditions, marksmanship training, physical fitness, citi-
zenship and many others. For more details, call the 2360 RCACC at 613-862-2360 or visit the website www.2360armycadets.ca where there is an application form. Visit the national website at www.cadets.ca for additional information about the opportunities the Canadian Cadet organization offers.

The Arnprior Duplicate Bridge Club hosted its sixth annual American Contract Bridge League Sectional Tournament on April 10-12 at the Nick Smith Civic Centre. The relatively newly formed Renfrew Duplicate Bridge Club was a proud supporter of this very popular and highly successful event. A number of local charities were benefactors of the proceeds from the tournament, with one of them being Hospice Renfrew, which recently received a cheque for $400. Tournament organizers are grateful for the generosity of merchants from Arnprior and Renfrew and area who donated prizes for the event.

Dealing with separation anxiety at the end of summer Labour Day, back to school and back to a full work schedule. The end of summer is just around the corner. Gone are the lazy days of summer spent on holidays with the family pet. One of the biggest problems a pet owner encounters at this time of year 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 fido’s transition from busy summer to home alone.
When leaving for the Pet Talk day make sure fido’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 IAN STUPP that you do not want your pet to have. If the Don’t get 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 you’re away. 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 without any fanfare. 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 you’re away. Just like little children, your pets have feelings to and although they cannot articulate how they feel, what they do when you’re away is there way of saying Hey! I miss you guys and don’t like being left alone! Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior. For comments or suggestions, he can be reached at 613-623-6200 or wagswhiskers@ hotmail.com.
Leaving pets in hot cars continues to be a problem Staff
Thoughtless owners leaving pets in hot cars continues to be a problem in the area, report Renfrew-Arnprior OPP. In a news release late last week, the OPP reported they have not only responded to more complaints about dogs left in cars but also an incident involving kittens. Officers assisted with a report of several kittens left alone in a hot vehicle while the owners were rafting on the Ottawa River Aug. 23. Police were called by an employee at River Run Rafting concerned about very young kittens inside a vehicle in their parking lot. Prior to police attending the employee was able to locate the owner and make arrangements for the animals to be removed from the vehicle. OPP officers responded in the afternoon of Aug. 22 to the No Frills parking lot after a report of a dog in a hot truck. As the officer ar-
rived a man was driving away. He was stopped and warned for leaving an animal in a hot vehicle. “Leaving your pet unattended in a vehicle is one of the most irresponsible decisions a pet owner can make,” says Ontario SPCA Eastern Region senior inspector Steve Toy. “Your pet’s safety is your responsibility. Placing them in a dangerous environment could not only be harmful, it could result in the animal owner being charged as well as being fatal to the animal. “Let’s make this summer a happy one for all of our family members, including our pets.” Police and the SPCA point out that dogs have a limited ability to sweat, so even a short time in a hot environment can be life-threatening. A dog’s normal body temperature is about 39°C and a temperature of 41°C can be withstood only for a very short time before irreparable brain damage or even death can occur. Excessive panting, drooling, and listlessness
are signs of heatstroke in animals. If you witness these signs in your pet, seek veterinary attention immediately, move the animal to a cool area and offer it drinking water. Leaving a pet unattended in a vehicle could result in charges being laid against you under the OSPCA Act and/or the Criminal Code of Canada. To report an animal in distress contact the Ontario SPCA at 310-SPCA (7722) or local police. The Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) reports
that in the first 25 days of August, society agents answered 89 distress calls — almost double the number from last year, at 49. “With the heat and the humidity so high, it used to be that people weren’t leaving their pets in hot cars. But this year is different,” said OHS inspector Smith said. “This is the first year that we’ve seen people doing this in any temperature, no matter how hot. It’s just that much more dangerous with the humidity and temperatures so high.” To learn more, visit www.nohotpets.ca.

Lionettes busy serving the community Peggy Frechette
Arnprior Lionettes president
The Arnprior Lionettes meet the first Tuesday of the month at the Arnprior Public Library from September through June. Our current membership is at 19 members with two more members at large and a new member being initiated into the club at our May meeting, which brings our total membership to 22. We began our year last September with a pot-luck supper followed by our regular business meeting. Our members were anxious to get working in serving
the community. The Social and Program committee was preparing programs for our meetings, which ran in conjunction with the monthly holidays including guest speakers and special meals. The Ways and Means committee was scheduling several fundraising events and looking for volunteers to help with each event. The Membership and Phone committee was promoting the club to prospective new members and the Sunshine committee continued to send cards to Lions and Lionettes on various occasions. The other

committees continued to work at their various tasks. In October, the members were asked to bring a favourite Thanksgiving recipe, which was put into a booklet for each of the members. Also, in October we held our Fall Rummage Sale. November saw us honour our veterans at our meeting as well as having a cross placed at the cenotaph on Remembrance Day. We entertained three prospective members as well as hosting a bake sale at the shopping centre. Our December meeting was held at PJ’S restaurant where we had our Christmas dinner. The evening was a social evening and everyone seemed to enjoy the opportunity to share. We also took gifts for the patients and played elves to Santa at the Extended Care Christmas Party in the hospital as well as presenting some CHEO Bears to the emergency department to be used for any children who might came in over

Christmas. January saw us initiate two new members into the club and we began making plans for our Friendship dinner which was held in February. One of our new members offered to put the Arnprior Lionettes on Facebook and Twitter and so you can reach us and see what we are doing. February was Heart and Stroke month as well as Valentine’s Day, and our Friendship dinner is held around Valentine’s Day and is our biggest fundraiser. March brought us to St. Patrick’s Day with the wearing of green and a delicious Irish stew supper prepared by our Social and Program committee. Plans were also made for our attendance at the Lionette Rally in Shawville with the theme of ‘Spring Bling’. We also made plans for the purchase of new tshirts for members. A five-year pin was presented to one of our members and the tickets for our 50150 draw to be held in

The Arnprior Lionettes pose for a photograph during one of their many activities in the past year. May were distributed to all the members present and a schedule for the sale of the tickets was completed. April brought us to Cancer month. We had a guest speaker from the Prior Chest Nuts Dragonboat racing team come and speak to us about how the team provided great support to those who have survived breast cancer and how the racing put new life into those who needed something to get them through tough times. We also hosted our Spring Rummage sale in April and made plans to attend the 2015 Rally. In May we drew the ticket for our 50150 draw and initiated our newest member. We also made plans for our closing dinner in June. which was a barbecue at the Arnprior Airport.
We revealed our secret sisters at the June meeting and wished everyone a good summer.

Chilliwack headlines Renfrew Fair on Saturday, Sept. 12 Sherry Haaima
sherry.haaima@metroland.com
No matter where and when Chilliwack plays a gig, says lead guitarist and vocalist Bill Henderson, you can be sure of one thing – it’s going to be a good time. “Everybody goes on stage – in fact, we get on the plane – with only one thing in mind, we are going to have a great time on stage that night,” said Henderson. “We’re so into it. We’re all going to get high together, on music. That’s what we do, that’s our purpose.” British Colombia based Chilliwack will headline this year’s Renfrew Fair lineup, with 70-year-old Henderson and his bandmates scheduled to take the stage Saturday night. Chilliwack had major hits in the 1970s and 80s, including ‘My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)’, ‘I Believe’, ‘Fly At Night’ and ‘Lonesome Mary.’ Henderson now provides most of the vocals and does most of the composing and is happy to be returning to the Ottawa Valley for the upcoming show. Chilliwack plays about 20-25 dates a year, with half of them landing in the summer months and many of them at local fairs and similar ven-
Bill Henderson and Chilliwack are excited to bring new song ‘Take Back This Land’ to the Valley. ues. “I like it, I like the fairs, they’re fun to play. You see whole families at the shows. It’s the parents who know the group and then a lot of times the kids do, too. They have picked up on the music,” said Henderson. One of the things he likes about the Valley is the wealth of musical talent. “There are a lot of great musicians
in the area,” he said, noting fiddle music in particular is among his favourite Valley offerings. Henderson has been busy promoting a new song, of which he’s proud and hoping to make people think and take action by way of voting. ‘Take Back This Land’ and its message are particularly fitting with the federal election coming up in October. Now is the time for people to really think about what kind of Canada they want. “Politicians are running around talking about the economy,” said Henderson, who received the Order of Canada this year. “But I know there are other aspects to governance that people are really concerned about and democracy is one of them. That has been challenged lately.” Canada’s position on the world stage has shifted, he said. “We seem to have lost our way a bit.” In the past, the international community thought Canada can be relied on for looking first at peace rather than resorting to war. Playing for peacekeeping troops in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s in Israel, Cypress and Egypt made an impression. “I was very moved by them and
what they were doing,” said Henderson. He’s lived on the coast all his life and is concerned that the state of the environment isn’t more of a focus. “The beauty of this country and how much it nourishes us is a deep thought and a deep concern,” he said. He’s not advocating for a particular party but wants voters to inform themselves and cast their ballots based on that information. “I have my own opinion, but the song is about what it is about Canada we love and we want to maintain. I think it’s time for us to really feel the deeper values. Let’s take back those values.” Henderson is excited to come to the Ottawa area with the song. In his intro to Take Back This Land, he says: “This song is for you, for me and for Canada.” It’s a moving song for him to perform. “I get goosebumps when I hear it, it kind of chokes me up,” he said. Among his career highlights is playing with some pretty spectacular bands, including The Doors, Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. Another memory that comes to mind as a highlight came in 1981 when ‘Gone, Gone, Gone’ was num-
ber one in Canada for three weeks in a row. “I was driving down the road in Vancouver and there was this flag girl working on a construction site,” said Henderson. “She had this little radio hanging from the door of her trailer and she was bopping around to ‘Gone, Gone, Gone.’ That was pretty cool.” The band initially formed as the Classics in 1964 in but later changed the name to The Collectors in 1966. Chilliwack began with the departure of vocalist Howie Vickers from the Collectors in 1969 but the band didn’t change its name until 1970. Chilliwack’s last new studio recording was released in 1984 with Henderson as the only continuing member. He’s enjoying himself with the band in its current form. “I’ve been playing live with the band I have now for 18 years. It’s the longest standing lineup the band has ever had,” he said. Along with Henderson, Chilliwack is made up of Ed Henderson – electric and finger style acoustic guitar and BG vocals, Doug Edwards – bass and BG vocals and Jerry Adolphe on drums. The Renfrew Fair runs Sept. 9-13. Evening concerts begin at 8 p.m.

STP ready to rock Renfrew Fair Valley favourite Sidewinder to play Sherry Haaima
sherry.haaima@metroland.com
The best part of the Small Town Pistols’ job is getting up on stage and performing. Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson can’t wait to return to the Ottawa Valley and entertain the Friday night crowds (Sept. 11) at the Renfrew Fair. The 2015 CCMA Award nominees and CMAO winners and previously Grammy-nominated Small Town Pistols were recognized early in their career for their work as The Wilkinsons. Small Town Pistols was created two years ago and the sibling duo has been going strong ever since. “It’s the best part of our job - getting up and singing for our fans,” said Amanda. “We take full advantage. Tyler agrees. “We like to have a great time on stage,” he said. “We love to interact with the crowd and just try and really entertain everyone.” Currently on the road promoting their sophomore album, Amanda and Tyler said they play a lot of fairs and festivals and enjoy a small town venue. Fresh off a gig at the Boots and Hearts Festival, Amanda said while the “wall of sound and energy” at a big festival like that is certainly a rush, there’s just something about playing a fair. “There’s something more intimate about it,” she said. “You get to see people dancing. It’s an instant shot to the arm when you play a bigger show but there’s something so magical about having that immediate response. You get to see the facial expressions.” The siblings are excited about the new album Pistology.
Vanessa Heins
Small Town Pistols will entertain the Renfrew Fair crowd on Friday night. Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson are looking forward to their return to the Ottawa Valley. “Our first album had been described as an album of heartbreak and healing,” said Tyler. “Since that, both Amanda and I have gotten married and have had children. With this record we just wanted to try and give people a grand scope of our influences and the type of music we like to make.” The album ranges from traditional country to more popinspired music. “We wanted to stretch as writers and try songs we’ve never tried,” he said. With young families, balancing a music career and home life can be a challenge but there is plenty of help and support for both Amanda and Tyler. Amanda’s son Benedict is almost 10 months old and Tyler’s son Blake is six weeks younger. Tyler also has a fiveyear-old son Indiana. “We have a good support system around us,” said Amanda. “My husband and Tyler’s wife are great, Mom and Dad help out. They say it takes a village to raise a child and we’ve always been sur-
rounded by that.” Small Town Pistols is nominated for a 2015 CCMA Award (group or duo of the year) and will head off to Halifax directly following their performance in Renfrew to defend their title (they took the same award home last year). The awards are a validation of sorts. “I think you don’t go into these things expecting anything,” said Amanda. “We didn’t’ really know going into this how people would accept the music and the name change. This is our peers looking at us and saying,‘You guys are doing a good job and we’re proud of you.” It’s also a great opportunity to catch up with their many friends in the business. After the CCMAs, Small Town Pistols will release a new single and just before Christmas they expect to have the new album released on vinyl, an exciting first for the band.

Mary decides to try her hand at hatching her very own chicken Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
Oval to the top floor! And so, without being noticed, I went to the henhouse, looked over the eggs waiting to be brought into the house, and picked the biggest one I could find. I tucked it gently into the leg of my flour bag bloomers so no one would notice it, and headed right upstairs to the little washstand I shared with my sister Audrey. In my half of the top drawer, which Audrey had divided with a wood ruler from Scott’s Hardware, I moved my underwear around and made a dent in one of my pairs of flour bag underpants, and gently put the egg in the folds. Then I covered it with more underwear, a vest, and three pairs of ankle socks. It was well hidden, the washstand took the full blast of the sun all day long, and I figured I would soon have a replacement for Biddy. I knew it was important not to touch the egg while it was hatching, and so I used only the underpinnings on top of it. And the long wait for the egg to hatch began. I had no idea how long that would be, but every night I went to bed and silently prayed it wouldn’t pop open when we were asleep, and start to peep, sending my sister Audrey into a state of hysterics! Well, the wait went on. Days passed and

My penalty was taking everything out of the wash stand, washing it with a bar of Lifebouy soap, used only by Father or the boys when they had to get rid of a bad smell, and tossing everything into the Monday’s wash. The drawer and the two doors at the bottom stood open for days, airing out. I was too young to know what had to happen to an egg before it would hatch. And my sister Audrey blamed me for her sudden dislike of scrambled eggs on a Sunday morning! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

turned into a couple of weeks. And then one day my sister Audrey, who could hear a leaf drop, and who had a nose that could pick a scent two miles away, so good were her senses, announced to Mother one morning that there was a vile smell coming from our shared bedroom. It was a Saturday, so Mother told her to work especially hard at doing our usual chores, making sure to dust mop thoroughly, and use a bit of lemon oil on the furniture. She blamed the smell on the heat wave we were having. By the next day, I too could smell whatever it was that was fast eliminating the sweet scent of clean sheets and the lemon oil that was used only in the parlour! And that was the day my secret incubator was no longer a secret. “The stink is coming from our wash stand,” Audrey bellowed, as she ripped open the little drawer. Well, the smell just about bowled me over too. You didn’t have to be a university graduate to know what had happened to the egg. In the heat, in the closed drawer, it had rotted beyond belief! My explanation did little to impress Audrey. She ordered me to wrap it in a pair of my underpants, and take it outside and throw it as far away from the house as I could. I did as I was told, sad beyond belief that my try at hatching my very own chicken was a complete and total failure.
R0013438043.03
There was no doubt about it; my pet chicken wouldn’t be a chicken much longer. I wasn’t smart enough to figure out that you didn’t have pets on a farm. They eventually ended up at the market or hanging in the smoke house behind the house. I refused to accept this, so I had a pet lamb, a pet calf, and Biddy, my pet chicken. The reason I adopted Biddy, was that she stood out from the crowd. She didn’t have a feather on her body, unless you could call the little ring of white fuzz that circled her between her neck and her wings, feathers. And Biddy grew, as I knew she would. And then one day, she was nowhere to be found. I wouldn’t dare ask what happened to her, but I strongly suspected, since I fed her myself and she grew bigger and fatter than any other in the flock, she was the perfect candidate to be taken into Renfrew with Mother’s other wares to be peddled, and the few pennies added to what was called her ‘egg’ money. When Biddy went missing, I knew what I had to do. I had to get an egg out of the hen house, and somehow turn it into a chicken. Surely, if I had hatched my very own chicken, it would never be hauled off to Renfrew, or put in the big granite pot on a Sunday. And I knew just how to do it too. Hadn’t I seen Mother stock the incubator with eggs, keep it warm with coal oil lamps or lanterns and lo and behold, in due course, there would be a batch of little golden chickens? So the first thing I had to do was find a spot that was not cold. Well, this time of year, that could be just about any place in the house. he upstairs was like we had moved the Findlay

DIVERTING A RIVER
A SOLUTION TO THE PHOSPHATES COMING FROM SNAKE RIVER INTO MUSKRAT LAKE Prepared For Whitewater Council By Donald E. Broome, August 21st - 2015 A Proposal To Divert The Snake River Into Harris Creek During the 1970’s and early 80’s when the Bromley drainage works approved by the MNR / MOE got underway, one of the options under consideration was to divert the waters of Snake River coming from Lake Dore down through the Bromley township wetlands into the Harris Creek, instead of traveling on through the swamps below Osceola and into Muskrat Lake which was its natural course ever since ancient times. This diversion would have required dredging a channel from the Bromley wetlands over to the Harris Creek and then diverting the Snake River into it, after which their combined waters would travel southward to Douglas and empty into the Bonnechere river. The biggest impediment to this course of action however was a rise in the elevation of land behind the Hamilton farm area in Bromley township, which would have necessitated excavating a ditch through it in order to provide the reduction in height needed for the Snake River waters to flow unimpeded into the Bonnechere river. However when concerns about the cost of diverting the river arose, it was deemed more expeditious as well as more economical, to let the Snake River continue to flow into Muskrat Lake although that decision has turned out to be an ecological disaster. This is all the more troubling considering that the MNR / MOE knew at that time there would be a further impairment of Muskrat Lake waters, which the Snake River diversion into the Harris Creek would have prevented. As a result 35 years later Muskrat Lake is now choked with excessive weed growths, blue green algae blooms which pose a threat to human life, a municipal water source is potentially endangered, a 12,000 year old species of fish is now faced with extinction, there are ongoing problems for recreational parks, landowners and cottage dwellers, and Muskrat lake is so heavily polluted with decades of accumulated phosphates and nitrates, its shores look like a stagnant third world garbage lagoon. However if the Harris creek diversion were to be done today, the annual phosphorous and nitrate inflows would not be entering Muskrat Lake, instead they would be delivered directly into the Bonnechere river, and with some further remedial measures taken in the Bromley watershed the remaining phosphates and nitrates would be absorbed by the soil. These measures include constructing containment berms, creating buffer zones, fencing off areas of the Snake River to keep livestock from getting into it, making sure manure piles are not located near the river or drainage ditch’s, spreading manure only during dry periods, and ensuring that no toxic chemicals, petroleum products, or any other such contaminates got into the river as well. Later on when annual runoffs were at their highest, the rapid flow rate of the Bonnechere river would quickly dilute the nitrates and phosphorous and deliver them to the Ottawa river in a matter of hours, whereupon the strong current and large volume of the Ottawa river would further dilute them on its way to the Saint Lawrence river, which in turn would dilute them even more before they reached the Atlantic ocean, by which time the concentrations would be negligible, and when the nitrogen and phosphorous sank to the bottom no aquatic growth or other adverse effects would be possible in the tremendous salt water depths of the ocean. Furthermore nitrates and phosphorous are not toxic chemicals, heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides,
carcinogenic compounds or industrial contaminates, instead they are nutrients that occur naturally, as well as being produced commercially to promote crop growth. In fact nitrates and phosphorous only pose a problem in lakes or rivers that are shallow, stagnant or slow moving, where they sink to the bottom causing excessive growth of weeds and other plants which eventually die, and as they decompose the dissolved oxygen in the water becomes depleted which is the process taking place in Muskrat Lake. Upon reading this proposal there may be an outcry from those who believe the welfare of a bug outweighs the welfare of people, and they may try to link this proposal to such concerns, but fortunately in this particular case such concerns are unfounded, leaving the welfare of people as the top priority. In fact the first two people in this world were instructed to subdue the earth and make it bountiful, while exercising good stewardship over it, however what was allowed to transpire in Muskrat Lake is the end result of a complete failure to do so. The Muskrat Lake tragedy is the one of the principal reasons I fully support the sensible environmental protection organizations who are dedicated to preventing other such outrages from happening, as well as the depredations of those individuals, corporations and agencies who think nothing of destroying the natural order of things for a profit. That being said the necessity of saving Muskrat Lake and the indigenous life in its waters remain critically important issues, yet to date the agencies responsible for protecting them have engaged in little more than public posturing, press denials, diversionary propaganda efforts, and a total lack of the remedial actions required to address the problems in Muskrat Lake for over three decades, as most especially over the last 4.5 controversial years since the “Smelt Gate” expose was first published in 2011. Instead during all this time these agencies have sat back as our lake continued to deteriorate year after year, which according to a series of official MOE water quality tests conducted across southeastern Ontario back in 1978 - rated Muskrat Lake as the worst polluted of the 200 lakes tested, despite repeated calls to do something from area homeowners, municipal politicians, the Conservation Club and concerned citizens. However when a similar situation arose at Lake Simcoe due to the market gardening operations in the Holland March, it didn’t take long for the federal government to provide a grant of 8.6 million dollars on April 15th 2014 in order to address the problem - in stark contrast to the arrogant reply given to the former Whitewater District reeve, by the head of the Pembroke District MNR, who when asked ,”Why are you doing what you are doing to Muskrat Lake” was told “We own the lake, we can do whatever we want, and we don’t have to ask permission from anyone”
which was an insult of the highest order! To be fair though the MNR / MOE did do something, which consisted of ignoring the results of their own studies, as well as the Greer Galloway environmental report, by approving the Bromley drainage projects knowing they were going to “further degrade” the already worst polluted lake in southeastern Ontario. And now after three decades of total inaction the very same agencies who facilitated 60% of this mess in the first place, are determined to force a whole slew of oppressive ordinances on the land owners of our area. In fact after the 2011 “Smelt Gate Series” expose and the widespread public outcry that ensued, the MNR have labored hard to first deflect, and then silence that public outcry, by repeatedly declaring “now is not the time for finger pointing, playing the blame game, making accusations or issuing demands for action”. Well after 3 decades of continuously asking for help from the people with the power to do something (to the point of almost begging) tendered by the Cobden conservation club, the municipal council, concerned citizens, and property owners around the lake - in the end it was the “finger pointing, the accusations, playing the blame game and demanding action” that finally forced the people who have ignored us for decades to respond, because without “the finger pointing, the accusations, playing the blame game and demanding action” nothing would have happened. This entire affair reeks with the vile stench of a socialist government power grab and control agenda, and is the precursor to the kind of malevolent “Conservation Authority” areas the MNR / MOE are determined to establish here in Renfrew County just like they did in southwestern Ontario, which once implemented will put an end to the rights of private property owners, with a host of repressive rules and regulations concerning what they can and cannot do on their private property. Nevertheless if the proposed Snake River diversion were to be undertaken today, combined with a number of the other protective measures that can be deployed in the Bromley watershed, it would effectively solve the Muskrat Lake nitrogen and phosphorous problem without causing any adverse effects in the Bonnechere river, the Ottawa river, the Saint Lawrence river, and ultimately the Atlantic ocean. In fact the nitrogen and phosphorous flowing into Muskrat Lake from Bromley Township have been going into the Ottawa river all along anyway (and they still are) albeit by a more circuitous route via the Muskrat river outflows that travel cross country to Pembroke, and from there directly into the Ottawa river with no ill affects whatsoever. Meanwhile there are still those people who believe the Bromley farmers are to blame for the nitrogen
and phosphorous inflows in Muskrat Lake, and while its true 60% of these nutrients are coming from Bromley township, its farmers are not responsible for causing the vastly accelerated delivery of these nutrients into Muskrat Lake since the 1980’s. Indeed neither I, the Cobden conservation club, or area citizens are placing the blame for this ecological nightmare on the Bromley farmers, because we know it was the responsibility of the MNR / MOE to determine what the environmental impact of these drainage works would have on Muskrat Lake, after which they issued the approvals to proceed despite a 1981 environmental assessment that emphatically stated there would be a further impairment of the Snake Rivers down stream waters, thereby adding to the degradation of Muskrat Lake. The question also arises with respect to the Bromley farmers (especially during the 1970’s and early 80’s) “What farmer knowing government funding was available to pay for the drainage of wetlands which would add considerably to the tillable acreage of his farm, would have turned down a chance to provide a better standard of living for his family. I can’t think of any farmer who would have turned down such an offer, especially when this project had provincial government approvals to proceed supplied by the MNR / MOE - whose job it was to investigate all of the negative effects they subsequently endorsed. These government agency approvals (knowing the future degradation of Muskrat Lake was a certainty) serve as the empirical evidence that completely absolves the Bromley farming community from the responsibility, or indeed any future culpability, for what later happened in Muskrat Lake. In point of fact “playing the blame game” as former MNR public relations employee Doug Skeggs is so fond of saying, in no way alters the fact that the MNR / MOE are directly responsible for the 60% impairment of a lake they were supposed to protect, because the Bromley farmers are farmers, not environmental assessment experts. As a result they relied totally on the MNR / MOE to conduct the necessary studies and act accordingly, but the MNR / MOE did nothing of the sort, and the time has come to call these government agencies to account for and remediate a project they approved that went on to pollute the downstream waters of Snake River, and further degrade the already worst polluted lake in southeastern Ontario which is exactly what happened! As proof of this allegation I have included paragraph (1) page (5) of the Greer Galloway and Associates environmental study conducted by Hough Stansbury and Michael Michalski which was submitted in February of 1981 and states the following. (Quote) “Without exception muskrat lake is the poorest water quality system in Renfrew county with agricultural inputs significantly contributing to its enriched character. Approvals to proceed with the proposed drainage works in Bromley township means the downstream impairment has essentially been authorized by the MNR / MOE - two provincial agencies whose mandate in part relate to the protection of Ontario’s aquatic resources. A complete technical and economic base is not available to permit us to suggest what remedial measures or combination of measures should be applied to muskrat lake and its watershed, to offset the further water degradation anticipated from the proposed drainage works (Unquote).
