EMC news - Arnprior is headed to the Junos.

Veteran Canadian folk musician Craig Cardiff, who resides in Arnprior, earned a Juno nomination for his most recent album, Floods and Fires.

Cardiff will be on hand at the awards ceremony at Ottawa’s Scotiabank Place this Sunday, April 1. “The thing I’m most excited about is the fact it’s happening at all and I get to go and watch this. I feel lucky to be able to do that,� said Cardiff.

Floods and Fires is up against albums by Bruce Cockburn, Dave Gunning, David Francey and Lindi Ortega for best roots and traditional solo album of the year.

Should he win, Cardiff says he will melt down the award to make five little junos to share with the other nominees. He’s impressed by all his fellow nominees.

He’s also on a mission to get Juno host William Shatner

to agree to a duet, so the event is rife with possibility. The challenge was issued Monday with the help of former governor general Michaelle Jean in a televised Juno-related event.

In practising for the event and working on the translation in her office, she urged him to translate more of his songs into French and offered to help.

Flattered by the offer but realizing how busy Jean must be, he told her as much.

He was surprised and grateful when she mentioned the offer on air. “When she sat down she said to me, ‘There, now I’ve publicly committed to translating some of your songs,’� said Cardiff.

Floods and Fires has a strong tie to Arnprior, said Cardiff. “Except for a few parts, it was recorded entirely here in Arnprior,� Cardiff said Tuesday afternoon, having just arrived home from shows in Thunder Bay, Ont. See CARDIFF Page 4

EMC news - A man injured in a White Lake house fire has succumbed to his injuries.

Michael Sheppard, 57, passed away overnight Tuesday, says his brother Richard. “His kidneys and heart gave out,� said Richard, “and because of his injuries they couldn’t revive him.�

Sheppard was burned in a March 16 fire at 2442 White Lake Rd. The cause of the blaze is still undetermined. “He was a very outdoorsy kind of guy,� said his brother. “That’s why he liked the area so much.�

Sheppard, a quiet man who kept to himself, was originally from Newfoundland but had lived in the Arnprior area for a number of years now, said Richard. He enjoyed fishing and spending time outside. Along with Richard, Michael Sheppard is survived by his mother Joan Prudhomme, brothers Dave and Brian and a sister Marlene. Anyone wishing information about funeral and visitation is welcome to call Richard at 613-276-0095.

Cabbies want out of hospital parking fee Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Taxis should not have to pay the $2 fee when dropping patients off at the emergency room, say drivers.

Every vehicle at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital (ADMH) pays the same amount, whether it is an employee’s who stays for the day or a taxi driver’s who is taking a minute to drop someone off. Most hospitals in the province have gone to the parking fee system as a way to generate revenue for badly needed services or equipment. But few in this region charge to access the emergency room section; Carleton Place’s is only other one that

does for certain, at $3 upon departure.

Grab-A-Cab owner Dwight Halpenny said it doesn’t cost him a lot of money, about $16 to $20 a month. But the additional cost hits working class people harder than doctors or administrators. “Why would we have to pay to get a drop-off at emergency? We’re not staying,�

Halpenny said. “My response from the hospital up here has been really poor.�

He argues, as do some experts in the healthcare field, that the fee is a service charge which contravenes the Canada Health Act. However, the view is not widespread and some even argue it is good to have such fees as a reminder

to Canadians that universal healthcare is costly.

ADMH vice president of finance and support services Steve Hudson said it is the first he has heard of the problem, but didn’t comment on allowing taxis to opt out. He said they can pay $20 for a monthly pass. But the board of directors approved the introduction of parking fees a couple of years ago as a way to raise what amounts to a half a percentage of the total revenue. That could mean the difference between hiring another nurse or purchasing a piece of equipment, he said. “It’s a result of the state of healthcare dollars,� he said.

Smoke alarms, neighbour key in fire Chief credits working alarms, quick phone call for saving lives EMC news - Once again, working smoke alarms and the swift action of a neighbour alerted 911 of a fire which occurred within a dwelling on Fairbrooke Court in the early hours of Tuesday morning in Arnprior.

In a statement released by fire Chief John Okum, the Arnprior volunteer fire department was called at 3:41 a.m. on Tuesday morning to the report of a residential smoke alarm sounding with the smell of

smoke at a Fairbrooke residence.

Volunteer fire crews began arriving on scene within 8 ½ minutes to find smoke in the home with all three interconnected smoke alarms sounding. Crews quickly realized the fire was actually occurring in the neighbouring attached residence in the six unit row house block.

Firefighters were faced with heavy smoke and steam resulting from the basement fire. The fire had burned so hot that it caused a water pipe in the unprotected basement ceiling to burst, which acted as a sprinkler.

“The burst pipe actually helped reduce the fire load until firefighters could extinguish the fire within the basement,” said Okum. “Using a thermal imaging camera,

fire crews were able to locate heat sources of fire travelling up an interior wall to the second storey and quickly cut openings in the walls to extinguishing the fire.”

The fire was brought under control within the hour.

The residence where the fire occurred was vacant and there were no personal contents in the building.

Fire investigators from the Arnprior Fire Department led the fire investigation and narrowed the source of the fire to the heating service equipment.

Fire officials contacted the Technical Standards and Safety Authority who worked with fire officials for the remainder of the day.

Estimates of the fire losses were not available, but Okum disclosed

that fire damage was extensive to the building of origin, causing structural and superficial damage.

Two neighbouring residences received smoke damage.

Okum praised the efforts of his volunteer firefighters for their work, along with the quick actions of the neighbour who acted quickly by calling 911.

“The collaborative efforts of the working smoke alarms, the fast acting neighbour, the volunteer firefighters, and the broken water line (acting as a sprinkler) all helped reduce the fire from extending to other properties,” said Okum.

Okum also thanked the community for their support. Neighbours offered hot beverages to the volunteers, while the department has also received letters of appreciation.

SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT HIDDEN...

Cardiff has musical roots Continued from front

Local contributors to the album include Arnprior District High School music head Frank Pecora, whose horn playing is featured.

Cardiff and company looked to the high school for musical talent and Pecora answered the call. It was fun to be able to share news of the nomination with Pecora.

“He was so excited. It’s so cool that somebody like that in the community is available to local musicians,” said Cardiff.

The days leading up to the April 1 Juno ceremony are a bit of a blur for Cardiff, with Juno-related events and interviews filling up his calendar.

The album was released Nov. 1, 2011, and Cardiff has been on tour across the country promoting it and performing at a wide range of venues.

Watching and enjoying the ride is Cardiff’s five-year-old daughter. Rowan has been witness to the whole adventure. From seeing dad perform regularly, even at the daycare centre she attends, to having watched and listened to the album being recorded when the engineer came to live in their home to complete the project, she’s a big supporter of her dad.

“Rowan was very involved and very aware of the process,” said Cardiff.

Music has long been a family affair for Cardiff.

Where did his musical inspiration come from? “My mom and my dad,” he said. “It was not an option to want to play an instrument,” he said.

If you were tired of the instrument you’d learned, it was time to pick up another, said Cardiff.

Elvis Costello and Paul Simon are among his favourite musicians. “I tend to like somebody whose lyrics will stand up on their own without the melody,” said Cardiff.

The 35-year-old will be accompanied to the event by his father and sisters, all musical in their own right.

Craig Cardiff ’s album cover photo was taken by Kathy Roussel.

And what will the softspoken musician wear to the gala event? “Whatever Rowan and my sisters pick out for me,” said Cardiff.

Originally, from Waterloo, Ont., Cardiff is known for his soft voice and digital vocal and guitar loops.

Among the highlights in his upcoming schedule is a trip to the Northwest Territories and Northern Alberta where he will be involved in school workshops and other community intiatives.

Fee makes for ‘inhospitable hospital’ Continued from front

“It’s a symptom of how tight funding is.”

Halpenny said the fee makes for an “inhospitable hospital.”

While Hudson didn’t comment on the overall atmosphere having changed, he did take issue with a suggestion that hospitals find more dollars by reducing administration salaries instead of charging for parking and raising money

Staffing very lean in all areas, say ADMH officials from using clothing sales.

“It’s (management salaries) always a going to be a bone of contention in any organization,” Hudson said.

“I’ve only been here three or four months, but I can tell you staffing is very lean in all areas, in administration and

others. It’s a challenge.”

Hudson said he didn’t know if exemptions to the parking fee were offered to other groups, such as ambulances or the Seniors at Home transportation service.

A-1 taxi company’s Karl McNamara said it isn’t an op-

tion to drop old or sick people off at the front doors to navigate a maze of hallways before reaching emergency. He said the $2 charge to drivers is “chintzy” but won’t pass the cost onto customers for fear of losing them.

“I don’t agree with it. I don’t figure it’s right. I’ve never seen a hospital like it,” McNamara said. “I don’t want to lose them to another.

It’s all about your steady Eddys.”

Phase two underway for CPR line Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The Canadian Pacific Railway has entered year two of a three-year plan to remove and recycle the material from its discontinued line that runs from Smiths Falls to Mattawa.

Employees working for the Manitoba company, Cando Ltd., worked well into last fall salvaging equipment from Canadian Pacific Line. Much of the sorting of smaller equipment took place at a feverish place in downtown Renfrew.

A&K Railroad Materials, though its Canadian subsidiary of Canadian Rail Track Material, won the salvage contract for the rail line that runs about 185 miles, or nearly 300 kilometres, between Smiths Falls and Mattawa. A & K, in turn, subcontracts out the dismantling and salvaging of the railway equipment.

According to Canadian Pacific spokesman Kevin Hrysak in Calgary, the focus this year is on removing railway equipment between Renfrew and Smiths Falls.

Phase three is scheduled to start in late 2012 and finish in 2013, with a focus on completing salvage of the railway

lines between Renfrew and Mattawa, said Hrysak. “We’ll continue until later this year,� said Hrysak. “That’s the plan, subject to change, with plans to finish by the end of 2013.�

It’s definitely a large-scale contract, said Hrysak. He said a lot of the salvaged ties, rails, spikes and tie plates will be recycled within Canadian Pacific’s network, more likely on secondary branch lines.

The first 40 kilometres (25 miles), between Renfrew and Cobden, was salvaged last fall.

Now the work continues north of Cobden, with some engines and crew remaining in downtown Renfrew to transport equipment from the area.

According to details from Canadian Pacific last fall, some of that equipment will also be sold. Some of the youngest Renfrew County tracks were only laid in 2006, meaning they have a long shelf life remaining.

The salvage process involves three major types of equipment — for wedging and lifting of the actual rails; for prying of the railway spikes; and for collection of the spikes, plates and anchors. The

latter is commonly referred to as ATM, or Other Track Material.

Canadian Pacific’s notice of discontinuance of the railway between Smiths Falls and Mattawa was filed May 30, 2011.

Just before 2 p.m. on Sept.

17, 2012, the last train crossed Renfrew’s iron bridge on the Bonnechere River. After the crossing, the tracks were pulled up and loaded on to cars pulled by the same engine, driven by retired railway engineer Bob Emond of Renfrew.

After the C.P. bed is abandoned, possibly in late 2013, the property will be transferred to Canadian Pacific’s real estate division. Buyers at that time, it is expected, will include the County of Renfrew.

Local snowmobile association members have already told the county the railway bed would be a windfall for snowmobile travel in the region.

Meanwhile, Hrysak says CP is in conversation “with one party� about the railway bed’s future. That multi-county group includes Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet, who has been providing county council with only generalities about the preliminary discussions.

Railway crews are down to one set of rails during the removal of Canadian Pacific tracks near Renfrew Avenue. Removal of rail equipment between Renfrew and Smiths Falls will continue well into 2012.

Area NDPer supports feisty new leader election.”

Mulcair is expected to solidify the party’s elected members’ base in Quebec, something many observers say is needed if the second place party expects to branch out and ensure they defeat the Liberals and even the Conservatives in the 2015 race.

“I think he’ll be very effective,” McSheffrey said. “This is not the political infighting party of the Liberals.”

Considered a combative yet wily strategist – not unlike Prime Minister Stephen Harper – Mulcair was under attack by the Conservatives within moments of winning.

They called him “an opportunist” and “divisive,” with “blind ambition.” He responded by saying Canadians are tired of school student behavior from national parties.

McSheffrey applauds a leader who is passionate with strong convictions and willing to go toe-to-toe with Harper.

However, Mulcair’s grown more substantive in his attacks this week. He blamed the Conservatives for “killing” the manufacturing sector in Eastern Canada.

The New Democrats expect right wingers to attack them as a tax-and-spend party. McShef-

EMC news – Among the few thousand NDP faithful voting from home computers for Canada’s new opposition leader was Renfrew County’s own Sue McSheffrey.

While unimpressed with evoting delays – the party is investigating who is responsible for attempting to tamper with the system – McSheffrey said there is no question that voting four times to narrow down a victor was sign of modern democracy at work.

“I love the format, watching the convention live on computer,” she said. “The process was exciting. It’s the future of election races.”

While “not surprised” to see Montreal MP Thomas Mulcair win in the end over party organizer Brian Topp, she lamented the seven-month preoccupation with determining a leader meant issues such as the robocalls scandal were largely missed.

“We were a little too focused on the leadership race for my liking,” McSheffrey said. “There were big things happening, so a faster race would have been better. But it’s four years until the next

frey indicated the party will have a two-pronged answer.

The NDP has run balanced budgets in a few lower-level governments. And, the past 30 years of trickledown economics that promised job creation through tax cuts have failed.

She also said Canadians favour spending when it comes to social programs they – including Conservative supporters - utilize.

“We don’t have a spending problem, we have a revenue problem,” she said. “Tax cuts have not created jobs, and many people – especially people on pensions – are worried. We have a very different philosophy on how to run Canada.”

She isn’t concerned Mulcair will simply pull the party to the centre to fill the void left

by Liberals. The Liberals are largely remembered for campaigning on the left (promising social justice and more programs) but governing on the right (offering corporate tax and spending cuts.) She sees the centre eventually moved toward the left, both attracted to an NDP plan and repelled by a Conservative track record.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant did not return a call for comment.

EDITORIAL

Hudak shouldn’t have walked after budget

T

he two major planks from Finance Minister Dwight Duncan’s Ontario budget, tabled in Queen’s Park on Tuesday, are a freeze on the corporate tax rate and a freeze on public sector wages.

Notice ‘freeze’ applies to both; not massive tax cuts or huge pay increases. A freeze, which implies prudency and moderation. Meaning there is no room in the conversation for alarmists and blowhards, though that has been anything but the case this week.

Without giving too much space here to the kneejerk reactionary types, it is nevertheless important to consider the views opposition leader Tim Hudak of the Progressive Conservative party. He is dangerously close to being lumped in with them.

The Liberals, rather than risk los-

ing support for its minority-government from both opposition parties, seemed to deliberately structure the politics of the budget on those two planks.

The freeze on corporate tax cuts is meant to please the NDP. Ontario already enjoys a competitive tax rate among jurisdictions in the United States and Canada. The Liberals want to keep it frozen at 11.5 per cent through 2017-18, rather than the scheduled drop to 11 per cent in July and 10 per cent next year.

Reasonable people can disagree on corporate tax cuts. Does keeping them low attract business, or at least prevent it from leaving? Or does raising them and intelligently investing in other sectors and services work to grow the economy?

Serious people are at least willing to hear the other side’s view, and per-

haps even agree that a freeze is not a radical departure worthy of bringing down a government.

The NDP have agreed to study the Liberals’ plan when it comes to corporate tax rates, and listen to what the public feels is the right solution.

The Conservatives have already said they won’t support the budget, hence are willing to bring down the government. “The budget works against contributing to private sector job creation with higher taxes on businesses,� according to a party press release.

The freeze on public sector wages is meant to please the PCs. But it appears the move is so obvious to conservatives that it isn’t even considered a consession. They would say, Of course a freeze on fat cat bureaucrats is necessary.

However, again, reasonable peo-

ple can disagree. Past experience has shown that a freeze on wages today results in excellerated increases in future. A prolonged fight with employees could damage morale, efficiency and ultimately value-for-work in various departments.

Many credible economists say having government’s hand deep into the economy acts as a stabilizing force, preventing the economic booms and busts.

It is by no means an established fact that smaller government makes for a better economy. Many have argued that regulation and government involvement in the three decades following the Second World War resulted in better living standards than today’s, which began with the Reaganomics shift in the early 1980s.

But apparently Hudak isn’t willing to consider the implications and

hear from his supporters even on a significant issue tossed in his corner.

Instead, both Hudak and Premier Dalton McGuinty get to hear NDP leader Andrea Horwath talk about how she is the only one interested in not subjecting Ontario voters to another election.

Horwath, whose party finished third, is left to determine the two men’s future. Not to mention that of the province.

This year’s deficit will reach $15.3 billion. Not exactly small change, but a far cry from comparing the province to Greece.

Many observers agree it is important the government get this budget right.

It remains to be seen if Ontarians get to sample what the Liberals have produced or are plunged back into another election campaign.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Lawn decorator sacrifices joy to vandals along Landrigan To the editor: We set up my Easter lawn decorations last Thursday, then the next day I was going to connect all the lights together.

Well, these so-called grown up children came along in the middle of the night or morning and removed them all and lined them all along the sidewalk. They think this must be some kind of joke. I am a senior and have a hard enough time doing this. I really enjoy doing it for the neighbourhood and my street – Landrigan.

I have been doing this for more than 25 years

in the different towns in which I have lived.

I only had it done once to me in all those years (vandalism).

But here in Arnprior they just can’t seem to leave things alone, from moving them to stealing them in the past couple of seasons.

I give up. It’s just not worth it anymore, so that’s it for the children and folks of Arnprior.

I am sorry but I have had enough of it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Tips to dealing with global-warming induced bug infestation To the editor I would like to thank all those who called in response to my plea for information on the Box Elder bugs. I have very much enjoyed sharing the problem with area neighbours and the common values of managing the bugs without killing everything else around us. I enjoyed the feeling of generosity offered. This is what I have learned.

The bugs do not eat plants or bite people so seem to not have any lethal impact. There is very little attention to them from a government or scientific community. This was evident

when I spoke to a very nice woman at the University of Guelph Pest Diagnostic Clinic.

However, they seem to be migrating from the U.S. due to Canada becoming warmer (from University of Minnesota website).

Locally, we seem to be infested from Carp to McNabb-Braeside.

My son-in-law from Hammond noted that he bought firewood from Carp to find it infested with the bugs.

Now another location in Hammond has them.

Those who have found efficient substances to control the nuisance

of these bugs should receive science awards for their systematic trial, evaluation and outcome assessments.

While I have not had time to test out the results personally now that we have had the cold snap this is what I found as potentially helpful and new information to me.

Killing the pests is easiest when they are in their infant no-wing stage. You have to find the tree that they have nested in. Once wings are formed which are tough and crusty it is harder to get the substance on them that will kill them. So spraying them in their infant stage or spray

them on your screens so you can get their undersides.

Substances that seemed to work were Vim Power Cream Spray, Palmolive Oxy dish soap (1 inch at bottom of hand spray bottle and fill the rest with water). Hairspray on your screens and window ledges apparently stops them from swarming those spaces.

I applaud people for finding common sense ways of dealing with a nasty problem. Yet, I am concerned with experimentation without some evidence of unseen or long term effects.

I have heard of chemical controls but no one remembered the name of the product they used. I do not oppose chemical controls but I want good information on what it is and the research on the impact on the environment and people.

Many chemical controls offer responsible methods and amounts to reduce the impact. If I find any further methods of management I will pass them on. Maybe the newspaper can give us a column on responsible pest control.

It’s pretty much a given that Dalton McGuinty has had a spending problem during his time in office, one that economist Don Drummond suggests will end up costing the people of Ontario some $30 billion in deficit and a whopping $400 billion in debt by the year 2017 if left unchecked.

This is serious money, and it represents a very serious problem. What leaves me shaking my head in absolute bewilderment is the more than $2 billion in new spending this government has announced since the House resumed sitting this past November.

This spending is the type of

thing that has put the province in its current predicament in the first place, and it seems to me to be totally irresponsible to carry on as if there’s nothing wrong, almost as if ignoring the problem might make it go away.

DRUMMOND

But as the Drummond Report indicated, Ontario’s fiscal problems are not going to get better any time soon, and as seems always to be the case, the burden of this problem will be faced disproportionately by people who live in rural Ontario.

Mr. McGuinty has opted to pursue a familiar course of action, and that is to raise your

taxes yet again. You’ll never hear him say the dreaded tword out loud, but he doesn’t have to in order to have the same negative effect on our wallets and pocketbooks.

What he’ll do instead is raise user fees in certain important areas, and use this extra money as a new revenue stream, which in the latest instance, doesn’t even cover the cost of his new spending since November, let alone doing anything to bring relief to the deficit and debt situations.

The government announced this past week that it was raising fees for driver’s licence renewals, licence plate renewals, driver’s licence exams, trailer permits, and commercial and farm plates.

The rate of increase represents a 10 per cent jack in fees for 2013, and another 10 per cent for 2014, and nowhere will these fees hurt more than in rural areas such as right here in Renfrew County.

Again, the provincial Liberals have made it still more expensive for us to live where we do, an area already suffering from the burdens of under-employment, high energy and fuel costs, and a population that includes many who exist at the lower end of the economic ladder.

These new fees continue the government’s discrimination against people living in rural Ontario, people who, by the very nature of their geography, need a vehicle in order

to perform just about everything connected to their lives.

We in Renfrew County don’t have the option of public transit available to those in urban centres, and instead must rely on vehicles to get to work, get the kids to school, buy groceries, visit loved ones, or visit the doctor or other health care providers.

What’s more, in areas su MULITIPLE CARS

ch as ours, you’ll often see families who require more than one vehicle, in fact several vehicles, in order to carry out their many basic and daily routines.

And that’s why Mr. McGuinty’s new licence fees,

taxes dressed up in different clothing, will hurt further a people already suffering from an unfair tax burden.

Not only is it bad economic policy, it’s blatantly unfair.

Increasing user fees just shifts an increasing burden onto people already finding it difficult to cope.

The people of this riding, and of this province, deserve better from their government.

The hamster on a wheel approach favoured by the McGuinty Liberals is not working.

Since McGuinty won’t change, next chance we get, we will have to get rid of him.

Rural Ontario can’t afford him any longer.

Dylan Riopelle (in blue), Alyssa Brown, Traleena Rouleau, Mariah Fridgen and Eva Marie Major are part of Red Velvet.

Red Velvet headed to Musicfest Nationals Special year results in invite to top competition Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC News- Arnprior District High School’s Red Velvet is making its way onto the national music scene.

With 11 of its members set to graduate this year, Red Velvet, is having a banner year, recently securing a two-year invitation to the Musicfest Nationals.

Just before the March Break, the choir earned a high standing at the Ontario Vocal Jazz Festival in Mississauga, which ADHS music teacher and choir director Frank Pecora explains is the largest vocal jazz festival in the province, featuring more than 30 of the best high school jazz choirs.

CONGRATS

“I’m very excited for the kids that they’ve earned this great honour,” said Pecora. “Congratulations to the members of Red Velvet who represented our school so well.”

Of particular note is Alyssa Brown, who picked up the honour award.

“Honourable mentions also go to our solid rhythm section of Curtis, Darius, Adam and Dan, our announcers and speech writers (Traleena, Tag, Mariah, Josh and Maria) for their great work setting a professional tone and to our strong section leaders (Alyssa, Maria, Traleena, Mariah and Dan) for ensuring their sections were well prepared for this festival,” said Pecora.

The choir has accepted the invitation to represent ADHS at the 40th annual Musicfest Nationals at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa

this May. Red Velvet members are gearing up for the event with regular practice.

Mariah Fridgen, leader of the soprano section, said the jazz festival was a great experience.

“It was really fun to see all the different groups,” said Fridgen. “I was proud of Red Velvet.”

What sets ADHS apart from others seems to be their song choices - Red Velvet often performs more contemporary songs.

Mezzo leader Maria Pecora is among the large group of graduates and says she’s thrilled the choir season will be running until May. “It’s really exciting. This is our big finish,” she said.

Alyssa Brown, leader of the tenor/base, said learning she had won the honour award at the jazz festival came as a nice surprise.

Also set to graduate in June, Brown says being a part of Red Velvet has been a great experience. Capping off the season and high school career in this way has been amazing, she said.

“This year was very special,” she said.

Alto section leader Traleena Rouleau, a Grade 10 student, said she benefitted from the experience of the other choir members and had a great time at the jazz festival and all season.

Rhythm section leader Dan Palubiskie agreed. He said he is impressed with his fellow choir member’s enthusiasm.

“Everybody’s just always happy to try anything,” said Palubiskie.

Packers face end in Jr. B playoffs Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC sports – It’s been a contentious series with everything from ďŹ ghts in the stands to spotty refereeing, but Arnprior Packers coach Bill Griese said if his boys can’t pull off wins on home ice they don’t deserve to advance beyond Gatineau. “If we can’t win Wednesday (March 28) at home, we might as well line up and shake hands because they’re the better team,â€? Griese said.

Scoring’s been something of a problem for Arnprior’s Jr. B club, tallying 13 goals to Gatineau Mustangs’ 19. It comes as a blow, knowing the fast-skating Packers have been able to count on various snipers throughout the year. But this series has stumped both players and coaches: pucks ringing off Gatineau’s goalposts; empty nets are missed; two-on-one’s peter out.

It’s not that Gatineau’s goaltender – normally a backup – is in the heads of his opposition. Packers took the ďŹ rst game 6-3; lost the second in overtime 5-4; lost a humiliating 51 game; and lastly a 6-2 match. In those, the team was up 2-0 half way through one game, and held twogoal leads in others.

Griese said it’s a matter of his team playing great, and there’s greater. He needs his clutch players to get back

on the score sheet. “I can’t tell you why: all our guys have dried up at the same time,� he said. “They’ve got to keep working.

These things change on a dime.�

The entertainment hasn’t been kept strictly to the ice. Fights have broken out among teenagers in both rinks. The Packers’ bus was “swarmed� in Gatineau, Griese said.

Security was expected at Nick Smith on Wednesday. But it’s considered far less serious than in the distant past.

The Packers join a long list of teams from this side of the Ottawa River in complaints about Gatineau ofďŹ ciating. A score sheet ďŹ ve-minute penalty with game misconduct was treated as a two-minute penalty with game misconduct on the ice.

The league will investigate, but Griese isn’t holding his breath.

He said the referees either won’t or can’t speak English, making it difďŹ cult for his club to get straight answers on any number of calls.

Still, he takes nothing away from the “aggressive� Gatineau team when it comes to winning in Arnprior’s home turf. And the overall series has been a good one. “When you get rid of the silliness, it’s been a pretty good series,� he said.

Wednesday’s game, a do or die for Arnprior, started after press time.

Kidney disease: Common, harmful, treatable

One of the hardest parts of diagnosing kidney disease is the fact that kidney problems often have few symptoms. For this reason, kidney disease is often called a silent killer. Medical experts estimate that as many as 2.1 million Canadians have kidney damage, but most of them aren’t even aware of it.

Kidney disease is a term used to describe kidneys that have been damaged and are not working at ideal capacity. For most people, this damage happens gradually, over many years. When kidney damage is extensive, people develop kidney failure, or end stage renal disease. At this point, in order for a person to survive, they must undergo replacement therapy (dialysis or a kidney transplant) to do the work their kidneys can no longer do.

Most people can live normal, healthy lives until their kidney function falls to 10 to 15 per cent. That is when most of the health problems become more noticeable.

While many people have no symptoms of kidney problems, even when their kidneys are badly damaged, common warning signs can include: = (&' !+..# /0$1130$ = ' -&$1 (- 30(-$ = 3%; -$11 0.3-# 2'$ $7$1 15$++(-& .% ' -#1 -# %$$2 $1/$"( ++7 (- "'(+#0$- = +..#7 "+.3#7 .0 2$ ".+.0$# 30(-$ = (- (- 2'$ 1, ++ .% 2'$ !

Arnprior Attack win league, playoffs EMC Sports - The Arnprior Novice A1 Attack won the UOVMHL Novice A playoff championship last Wednesday, March 21 with a convincing 6-2 victory over Pembroke. The win completed the series sweep as Arnprior took game 1 of the finals with a 9-1 rout.

The Attack started their playoff run versus Renfrew and swept that series as well with victories of 9-1 and 8-0.

The playoff championship concluded an incredible season for the Arnprior Novice team. The Attack went undefeated during the regular season with a 14-0 record.

The high powered Attack averaged almost 10 goals per game while giving up an average of only 1.

In tournament play, the Attack advanced to at least the semi finals in all but one of the six tournaments they entered including being finalists in Bracebridge this past weekend.

Their tournament successes also included a B championship in Lanark.

The coaches and parents are extremely proud of the players for all their hard work, dedication and sportsmanship demonstrated throughout their very successful season.

EMC events - On Sunday, May 6, people from across Renfrew County will participate in the sixth annual Hike for Hospice Palliative Care.

The fundraiser, hosted by Hospice Renfrew, will be held next to the Renfrew Presbyterian Church. Registration is set to begin at 1 p.m. with the hike to follow at 2 p.m. Refreshments will be served shortly after the hike This year the theme is ‘It takes a team’. Hospice Renfrew is celebrating families, workplaces, schools and clubs by making all participating teams the lead hikers. Participants are encouraged to come dressed in team colours and outfits to show their team spirit. Individuals are also encouraged to come out and take part in this fun family event.

Every hiker will be given a ticket for a 51-inch Samsung colour TV donated by Utronki’s Appliance and TV Sales. An additional ticket will be given for each $100 pledge earned.

There will also be a prize for the team with the highest pledge amount as a team.

This is a major fundraiser for Hospice Renfrew and this year the goal is to raise $50,000. Every dollar raised stays in the community to directly offset operational costs of the residential hospice and allow comprehensive end-of-life care to families across Renfrew County, completely free of charge.

As one family member recently commented: “We are fortunate to have a facility like Hospice Renfrew available to us when necessary. The Hospice not only takes care of the patient but also provides comfort to the family. Just knowing that our loved ones are in a comfortable friendly environment helps the family in difficult times.”

Hospice Renfrew is working to ensure more Canadians, especially in Renfrew County, receive the end-of-life care they and their families need.

Hike for Hospice Palliative Care pledge forms are available at RBC in Renfrew and the Hospice Renfrew Office. For more information, contact Hospice Renfrew at 613-433-3993, or visit the website at www.hospicerenfrew.ca.

EMC sports - CFL defensive lineman Justin Phillips visited students at St. Michael Catholic School in Fitzroy Harbour March 21.

A defensive linesman for the Calgary Stampeders and a resident of Arnprior, Phillips was invited to the school to speak about teamwork, sportsmanship and the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle.

Students engaged the Stittsville native, who fielded questions ranging from how to resolve disagreements within his team, to how Phillips felt about leaving his family to move to Calgary. Phillips also gave students an opportunity to examine his prized rings; including his 2008 Grey Cup, 2005 Vanier Cup and 2006 All Canadian rings.

Passionate about the development of youth, Phillips is the Calgary Stampeders team spokeman for the ‘Every Yard Counts’ initiative, which fosters a compassionate relationship between the football team and the Calgary hospital. “Before each home game, we visit sick kids in the hospital� said Phillips. “It’s nice to give back to the community�.

Locally, Phillips has been involved with public speaking events at schools, sports camps and has even lent his considerable expertise to the Arnprior District High School Redmen.

The city continues discussions with Beacon Sports Capital Partners in the

hope of attracting a major league affiliated double A baseball team to Ottawa.

Whistling Bunnies return for May 5 Diefenbooker Classic successful May 5 five kilometer race..

Building on the success of the inaugural 2011 Learn to Run clinic, organizer Dayle Mulligan, in conjunction with assistants Constance Lazurko, Charlene Johnson and Jackie and Ron Stadnyk, recruited some of the graduates of last year’s clinic to share insight, information and enthusiasm with those at all fitness levels.

SUCCESSFUL RUNNERS

“You guys are just so much fun, how can anyone not run along?” wondered Arnprior resident Andy Kalnins.

Kalnins, a graduate of last year’s clinic, has been promoted to assistant and earned his bunny ears this year. An exuberant man with a big smile, he is happy to share his knowledge about the benefits of running with all who will listen.

In October of 2009, Kal-

0329 R0011328851

Andy Kalnins of Arnprior is thrilled to share his enthusiasm for running with others.

Clinic leaders ready to get hopping, from left, are Linda Hobbs, Diana Baird, Jackie Stadnyk, Ron Stadnyk, Constance Lazurko, Andy Kalnins and Dayle Mulligan.

Photos submitted nins experienced chest pain while out for a run. By coincidence he had an appointment with his doctor at the West Carleton Medical Centre the next day and mentioned his experience. As a precaution, he was sent for testing at the Ottawa Heart Institute and it resulted in heart bypass surgery in February of 2010.

Post-surgery Kalnins struggled with depression and in spring 2011, his doctor suggested he join the Learn to Run clinic. Heeding his doctor’s advice, Kalnins is now a running enthusiast eager to share his conviction that running has helped in his recovery from depression and management of his cardiovascular disease. He readily admits he will never be fast and will never aspire to the long distance runs, but is committed to the health benefits of the sport at his ability level.

Kalnins, currently a member of two running groups,

has completed three five kilometre races and is organizing a five kilometre race event as a part of the McNab Days in June.

Diana Baird also started running at the 2011 clinic and hasn’t stopped. She encourages new recruits saying that it does get easier. If you do your homework, you’ll get hooked on running. She has completed ten 5km races since last year’s Diefenbooker Classic and is eagerly anticipating a 10km race.

Like Kalnins and Baird, Woodlawn resident, Linda Hobbs, is another graduate of the 2011 clinic who has taken right off and can now run like the wind. She is already completing half-marathons (21 kilometre races) in less than two hours.

Despite a hectic work schedule this Spring, Hobbs realizes the importance of physical activity and makes the time to train for the Minto

Spezzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value to Sens as vital as ever

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com The gaudy offensive numbers have long been huge part of his story.

For Senators centre Jason Spezza , who hit the 600-game mark in National Hockey League service last week, those statistics say plenty about what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brought to the Ottawa lineup. The 28-year-old pivot has produced 607 points, including 221 goals and 386 assists, in eight-plus seasons with the team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only captain Daniel Alfredsson ranks ahead of Spezza in all three categories in modern franchise history.

With 75 points (29-46) through Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst 74 games of the season, the Toronto native sits in the top ďŹ ve in NHL scoring and will ďŹ nish with his best totals since 2007-08, which Spezza racked up a careerbest 92 points (34-58) as the centre of one of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most feared lines (along with Alfredsson and Dany Heatley).

All of that is easy enough to know. But those who are really in the know â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his Senators

Jason Spezzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s importance to the Ottawa Senators goes far beyond the impressive statistics he has produced with the team this season. He has also eagerly shared his veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience with younger teammates (Photo by Claus Andersen/Getty Images).

teammates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will tell you emphatically that his value to the team goes way beyond the numbers. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll point out that the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on his jersey is clear evidence of the leadership role he holds with this team, along with Alfredsson, fellow alternate captain Chris Phillips and Chris Neil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I came here, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a top player and someone to rely on,â&#x20AC;? said Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both on and off the ice, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great guy and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really taken responsibility for everything, and making sure everything is good with everyone.â&#x20AC;?

Ottawa centre Zenon Konopka goes even further than that, saying Spezza deserves serious consideration for the Hart Trophy, awarded annually to the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable player. Though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only seen him from afar until this season, the ďŹ rst year Senator has quickly come to appreciate what Spezza brings to the mix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jason Spezza, to me, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough credit,â&#x20AC;? said Konopka. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He takes some of

CAROLINA PANTHERS Tuesday, April 3, 7:30 p.m., Sportsnet East While the Hurricanesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; play has improved in recent weeks, a poor start pretty much scuttled any real playoff hopes for this team.

As always, the Carolina attack revolves around captain Eric Staal, whose season has mirrored that of his team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bad start, much better finish. Beyond Staal, the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Canes rely on the likes of Jeff Skinner, Jussi Jokinen and Tuomo Ruutu to generate offence. Ruutu was considered a prime candidate

to be moved at the NHL trade deadline but instead inked a new contract with the team, as did Tim Gleason, a steady member of the Carolina blue-line brigade. In goal, Cam Ward still rates as one of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top stoppers.

BOSTON BRUINS Thursday, April 5, 7:30 p.m., Sportsnet East The defending Stanley Cup champions have begun to regain their old form in recent games, showing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re again one of the teams to beat heading into the 2011-12 postseason. The Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; biggest breakout player of the campaign has been second-year forward Tyler Seguin, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emerged as a prime leader of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack. Patrice Bergeron rates as one of the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top twoway threats, while Milan Lucic and Brad Marchand are physical forces

who also produce plenty of offence.

Zdeno Chara remains one of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most feared blueliners and is a top Norris Trophy candidate.

With Tuukka Rask sidelined by injury, the goaltending load falls on the capable shoulders of Tim Thomas.

the brunt of the blame when things go wrong ... (but) the guy is a fantastic player and, in my mind, should be in the conversation for the Hart Trophy. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done everything for this team.â&#x20AC;?

At the outset of the season, Spezza couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help grinning when it was suggested to him that, in terms of experience at least, he was now among the Senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most senior citizens (on the current roster, only Alfredsson, Phillips and Neil have played more games in an Ottawa uniform). And he has eagerly embraced the leadership role that goes along with it, especially when it comes to mentoring to inďŹ&#x201A;ux of new talent from the Binghamton Senators that now surrounds him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time ďŹ&#x201A;ies, I guess,â&#x20AC;? Spezza said at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of great experience and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still a relatively young guy. I was fortunate to be able to play in the league when I was 19 and I like to share that experience ... The biggest thing for a young player is seeing that you try to be a good example, you try to practise hard and you work on your game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even when things are going good, I like to work on my game after practice and you hope that kind of stuff just rubs off. Usually, the best way to help guys out is just leading by example.â&#x20AC;?

Count the 21-year-old Karlsson, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struck up a strong off-ice friendship with Spezza, among those that have beneďŹ ted from that experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been good to me and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a smart guy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been around for a long time,â&#x20AC;? said Karlsson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in this league for a long time and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for this team. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a great guy and I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably one of the most important guys on this team, for sure.â&#x20AC;?

Sudden warmth brings out some summer wildlife EMC lifestyle – There were few complaints about the recent hot weather that brought butterflies, frogs, snakes, and flowers out of hiding.

With temperatures soaring into the high 20s, it was as if June or even July had arrived, and shorts and halter tops were yanked out of storage.

The sustained heat resulted in unusually early appearances for many wild creatures.

Birds were enticed to fly farther north than usual for this time of year, and record early arrival dates for many species were documented.

Some sandpipers, such as a Long-billed Dowitcher (actually a rare spring visitor) east of Ottawa and a Whimbrel in Prince Edward County, were more than a month ahead of any previous spring appearance.

An Eastern Pine Elfin, a tiny brown butterfly, found basking in the sun in Algonquin Park, shattered the previous earliest appearance for that species anywhere in Ontario by four weeks. Last weekend four species of snakes were active near Chaffey’s Locks, and American Toads joined early frogs in their exodus to mating ponds.

What an amazing third

week of March!

While the early arrivals and arousals brought excitement to birders, lepidopterists, and herpetologists, they also give good reason for concern.

When the temperatures returned to more normal levels and plunged well below the freezing point, many of the less hardy animals likely perished.

Unless they retreated into their hibernacula well below the frost line, the snakes may have frozen.

Any salamander or freezetolerant frog (Striped Chorus, Spring Peepers, and Wood Frogs spend the winter in a frozen state) that laid their eggs in shallow pools in the forest might not produce young this year if those ponds freeze solid. Because the freeze-tolerant frogs must enter their frozen states gradually, if temperatures continue to plunge at night, their fate might not be pleasant either.

If a Leopard Frog was caught out of the water when sub-zero temperatures returned, it too would perish.

When butterflies emerge in the spring, they need flowers to sip nectar from, and green plants on which to lay their eggs.

The little Pine Elfin could do neither and I am sure the only movement coming from its wings right now is due to the wind tossing the lifeless carcass like a leaf.

Many of the trees were seduced into producing flowers way ahead of their normal times.

Near Carleton University maples and poplars were in full bloom. Unfortunately, tree flowers do not do well under freezing conditions and when I checked this morning, the – 10°C had caused the Carleton tree flowers to wilt and hang lifelessly.

Flowers produce seeds, and it may well be that if the early flowering was a widespread phenomenon, there could be fewer seeds this coming fall, and thus less food for wintering birds.

All of this, however, is pure speculation. Not all reptiles emerged early and not all trees produced flowers.

The individuals with more cautious genes will survive and pass them on, and next year a more normal spring may prevail.

Dancers have been practicing since September to learn their performance pieces.

There are still tickets available for the Competitive Dancers Showcase on the 12th.

classes at the Arnprior School of Dance, located at 12 Elgin St., in tap, jazz, hip hop, ballet, musical theatre and acrobatics.

Sunday was pictured day for the dancers and all were in costume to have their photographs taken in advance of the show.

The Arnprior School of Dance will have a new spring program starting on May 16 for ages three and over. The program will include combination programs, musical and acrobatics. Registration is Friday, April 20 between 6:30-8 p.m.

Get your dancing shoes on for a good cause Spring is definitely in the air, and thoughts are now turning towards activities and events that remind everyone that a new season is beginning.

There is a special annual fundraiser that will, as on previous occasions, be attracting many participants to join in some linedancing fun while supporting a very worthwhile cause.

The event is the 7th annual Arnprior Party-Atelier (APPA), scheduled for Saturday, April 14 at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Attendance is by donation, and the funds support the United Church’s Camp LauRen, which for decades has been running Summer Camps for Children in the Valley and surrounding areas.

As in the past, it is anticipated that linedancers attending this year’s fundraiser will be coming from the Ottawa

area, the Valley, many of the surrounding areas, and possibly from a few out-of-province areas.

Participants at every level of linedancing - beginner, novice, intermediate - will be welcome at the event, and there will be door prizes presented through the kind courtesy of local merchants.

For further information, and to make reservations to attend APPA-2012, kindly contact Hyacinth at 613-623-0976.

Camp Lau-Ren is located in Deep River, Ont., and it not only provides activities for children ranging in age from 6-14 years, but also offers the age group of 15-16 years an opportunity to gain leadership experience through its programme for Leaders-InTraining. The camp welcomes children of all denominations, and over its many years of existence it has had participants from a wide variety of religious affiliations.

Mississippi Mills is ‘musically Relaying for Life’ EMC events - The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life Committee for Mississippi Mills has chosen ‘Musically Relaying for Life’

as its theme because music, like cancer, is all about emotions.

It can be heavy and rough or soft and fragile.

It can make you laugh and it can make you cry.

It can be upbeat or it can be depressing. Music can be anything we want it to be.

The committee wants people to be able to choose their genre of music for the June 8 Relay for Life at Gemmill Park in Almonte.

And they expect quite a mix of costumes from punk rockers to country singers.

Tent and trailer cities will see themes from reggae to jazz to hip hop.

Throughout the evening there will be local musicians helping Relay for Life in all genres of music: If you are interested in joining in the relay as a participant, survivor or volunteer, contact Allison at vaughana@ottawasenators.com or at 613-256-0421, or Yvonne yvonne_stewart@ sympatico.ca or at 613-256-5975.

Subject Lands The Town of Arnprior has received application ZBLA-1/12 for an amendment to Zoning By-law 4990-01, as amended, for the lands described as part of Lot 3, Conc. B, municipally known a 53 James Street, as shown on the attached Key Map. Public Meeting A public meeting giving the public an opportunity to make representations in respect of the zoning amendment will be held on Monday, April 23rd, 2012 at 6:30p.m. in Council Chambers at the Town Hall, 105 Elgin Street West, Arnprior.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING gets read. gets remembered. gets results With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers.

Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them.

That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Carp hosts 13th Valley Fishing Heritage radio brings singer to and Outdoors Show April 13-15 Event an enjoyable experience for the whole family: organizers Jeff Maguire

More space than ever, more exhibitors and more contests and prizes. It all adds up to the best ‘Valley Fishing and Outdoors Show’ in the 13year history of the Carp extravaganza, which runs April 13-15.

The Carp Fairgrounds and Arena complex is once again the site for the three-day production which chief organizer Dave Arbour promises will be “a lucky No. 13” for anyone who chooses to attend.

Arbour of Valley Outdoor Promotions, says this year’s venture will provide an enjoyable experience for the entire family.

“This is the biggest show of its kind in Eastern Ontario and we have some of the best known experts in the business taking part,” Arbour says.

There is “a gun show within the show” and the $8 admis-

sion price (children under 12 get in free if accompanied by an adult) covers both the main event and the gun show. Parking is plentiful and free The Big Buck, Bear and Moose Contest is part of the 2012 venture. Mounts can be brought in on Thursday, April 12 (the day before the show) from 4-8 p.m. and again on Friday, April 13 from 1-9 p.m.

“Entrants have a chance to win one of five firearms or other prizes and hidden prizes will also be awarded,” Arbour explains.

“Experts from FROW (Foundation for the Recognition of Ontario Wildlife) will be on hand to measure your animal,” he notes.

Entries cannot be picked up again until 4 p.m. Sunday, April 15, the final day of the event.

Eastern Canadian Outfit-

ters is donating a fishing trip for two, which includes accommodations and a boat and motor for a week.

Fernleigh Lodge is sponsoring a week of family fun and fishing, with lodging in a housekeeping cottage. The trips are valued at $1,000 each.

There will also be hourly prizes given out throughout the weekend. The only catch is that door prize winners must be on site in order to win.

BASS, TURKEY EXPERTS

Included in the show will be “the most informative bass fishing seminar series in Canada,” as well as some of the country’s best known wild turkey hunting experts who will give interested people pointers on how to call turkeys as well as the techniques needed to land a big gobbler

this spring. Seminars take place all three days.

The Carp show is very much for the family with lots of games for children and the young at heart.

At the centre of the weekend are the exhibit halls. “We have expanded and that means more things to see and do,” Arbour notes.

The Carp Fishing and Outdoors Show covers every possible fishing and hunting need, things for the cottage, including docks as well as information on how to book hunting, fishing and outdoor adventure trips.

Show hours are Friday 4-9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

EMC lifestyle - Mother looked for spring like a young sheep looks for a hole in a fence to escape through. She found the winters long and she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to run into Renfrew at the drop of a hat whenever she wanted to. And so she was confined to the walls of the old log house day after day.

Sundays at church, and the Saturday night house parties, the odd quilting bee, and an occasional trip to Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store was just about as far as Mother went during the long winter months.

My older and much wiser sister Audrey said Mother felt trapped in the old log house with no escape when the snow was piled high around her.

But now the snow banks, once sky high, along the Northcote Side Road had melted down and once again we could see the fields.

It would still be weeks before the Fall plantings would show through, but it was all a good sign as far as Mother was concerned.

And it was enough to spur her on to getting ready for the warmer days ahead.

The Steele-Briggs seed catalogue was dog-eared from constant nightly use at the pine table, an order had

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories

BY MARY COOK

been placed, and it had already come in C.O.D. The mailman handled all the finances for anything that was ordered through a catalogue, which was a good thing, because Father didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in banks, and so no cheques were written in our house!

Not that there would be much spare cash to deposit anyway.

The blue sugar bowl in the back-to-the-wall cupboard took care of that issue!

Every night Mother would take down the little box filled with coloured packets of seeds, and lay them out on the table. She would decide which ones could be planted in boxes early, and which ones would have to wait for the garden.

The seed packets seemed to lift her spirits and she would say to no one in particular, â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be long now.â&#x20AC;?

And then she would turn to Father sitting in his rocking chair with his feet on the oven door and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Albert, you could get those flat boxes ready any time you found a spare minute. I want to be ready to plant as soon as the garden has dried up.â&#x20AC;?

And day by day, the winter would fade, and you could see the relief on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. The old Model T was still up on blocks in the drive shed. And she reminded Father that it was time to think about starting it up just to be sure it had weathered the past months. And I knew she could hardly wait for the lane to be rid of its winter ruts so she could head out for Renfrew.

Father who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optimism that winter was just about over, told of the many years he saw snowdrifts ten feet high in March.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to happen this year,â&#x20AC;? Mother would say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the last of this confounded winter.â&#x20AC;?

And every day I could see her mood lighten. She talked about washing up the mitts and scarves and adding moth balls to her list of supplies needed in Renfrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it will soon be time to roll up the braided rugs and tuck them under the beds.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need those when the floors are warmer,â&#x20AC;? sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say.

One day when we got home from the Northcote School, Mother was waiting at the door as usual. But that day she was fair jumping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guess what I saw today... a robin. It landed right there on that little patch of bare ground near the pump platform.

A robin!

Can you imagine?

Now if that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a sign of spring, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what is,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Mother whistled all the time she was getting supper ready. Her winter mood had passed. And it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what Father said about late snowstorms ... the back of winter was broken.

Hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a little robin come to bring the news?

WIN!

Asparagus, shrimp a colorful combo in springtime quiche EMC lifestyle - As I’m writing this column, it’s officially the First Day of Spring, the outside temperature is 26 degrees Celsius, and it feels more like July.

Whatever the temperature, this asparagus and shrimp quiche is a delicious springtime dish.

Serve with French bread and a salad, and you have a filling meal.

Once I tried a new quiche recipe when we were having company for supper.

After an hour and a half in the oven, the quiche still wasn’t set, and the filling didn’t look as if it was going to be set for at least another half hour.

Our company was family visiting from Barrie, and they were very understanding, but we were all getting hungry.

Finally, I scraped the barely cooked quiche into a frying pan, stirred it over medium heat, and served it as scram-

bled eggs.

We had a good laugh, and everyone agreed that the “scrambled” quiche tasted pretty good.

This quiche recipe is a totally different one but, if you find that it’s taking awhile to set, consider the scrambled egg version as a fall back.

Steam the asparagus spears until they are crisp-tender.

Madawaska Maple Madness fundraiser arrives Saturday EMC news - With spring weather arriving early this year, Calabogie has finished with winter and is celebrating the new season with the Madawaska Maple Madness.

On this Saturday, March 31, the community centre will be the place to find maple syrup either on your pancakes and sausages or from baked goods available for sale.

The Greater Madawaska Ward One Recreation Committee is hosting the event as a fundraiser for equipment and events.

Pancake breakfast will be served from 8 to 11 a.m. at $5 a plate. This includes coffee or tea, and juice.

At 11:30 a.m., there will be a maple syrup judging from entries of non-commercial local maple syrup makers. Depending on supply, you may be able to purchase your syrup or baked goods with maple syrup as an ingredient.

Any non-commercial suppliers of maple syrup are welcome to join in the fun judging event.

Groups or individuals interested in purchasing a table for $20 to showcase their baked goods and keep their sales are encouraged to participate from 9 a.m. to noon.

To register or for more information, call Cath at 613-752-1585.

thing, and top with the grated cheese.

In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, cream, parsley, salt and pepper, mixing well.

Here’s a tip for putting the quiche in the oven without having the filling tip out or spill.

After you’ve arranged the shrimp, vegetables and cheese in the pie shell, and before adding the egg mixture, pull your oven rack part way out.

Set the pie shell on the oven rack, then pour the egg mixture over the shrimp and cheese. Carefully slide the rack back into the oven. Bake at 350F for 40 to 50 minutes.

To test for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the quiche. If the knife comes out clean, the quiche is done.

If the knife comes out looking wet and milky, continue baking for another 5-10 minutes, then check it again.

Carp Easter market set for April 7 45 vendors expected for opening day EMC events - With Easter just around the corner, Carp farmers, cooks and crafters, are getting into high gear for Carp Farmers’ annual Easter market on Saturday, April 7.

Opening promptly at 8 a.m. and running until 2 p.m. this year’s market promises to be bigger and offer more variety than ever before.

Forty-five vendors will be on hand with a wide selection of premium products to make your holiday weekend one that carries a truly local signature.

Assorted meats (elk, pork, beef), fresh micro greens, herbs, garlic dips and delights, maple syrup, cranberries, fresh cider and juicy apples from last year’s crop, plus a wide range of preserves and cheeses, savoury and sweet baked goods are among some of the many products on offer.

And, of course, chocolate!

What would Easter be without chocolate whether its a selection of luscious truffles or an Easter bunny?

Check out the high-qual-

ity crafts on sale: cards, art, ceramics, quilts, woodwork and jewellery then relax at the food court for brunch or coffee and a snack with no worries about parking!

It’s free and there’s lots of it.

Last year the Carp Farmers’ Market celebrated its 21st anniversary – it’s officially come of age.

With more vendors and a greater variety of products on offer there is one thing that, “however much we may grow, won’t ever change,” says Market President Robert Dobson, “and that’s our commitment to maintaining the highest possible quality of both produce and crafts.”

FOOD BANK

Dobson hopes that, in these tough economic times, “there’ll be lots of support for the Market’s 50/50 draw in support of the West Carleton Food Bank – and don’t forget our traditional draw for a beautifully decorated Easter Gift Basket crammed with donations from the vendors.

“We’re all looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones this Easter Saturday,” says Dobson.

“There’ll be a warm welcome for all, ‘rain or shine’.”

Cadet heads to the Alberta mountains EMC news - A local army cadet has enjoyed a memorable winter.

Warrant officer Stefan Hoerdt of 2360 Royal Canadian Army Cadets in Arnprior was selected to attend Prairie Region Cadets annual Wild Winter Expedition.

He travelled to Canmore, Alta., between Feb. 20 and 29 as one of 11 cadets participating in the expedition. The expedition included ice climbing, avalanche training and alpine skiing.

“The first activity was ice climbing which was a great experience,” Hoerdt said. “We did this for three days in a different location each day. We were paired up with another cadet and took turns climbing and belaying.

“This was great for team building because you had to look after your partners well-being. After ice climbing we spent a day with the Yamnuska guides at their classroom for avalanche training. The remaining days of the expedition where spent alpine skiing and performing the practical portion of the avalanche course.”

Yamnuska guides setup avalanche scenarios for the cadets

where they would use the skills learned during the course to locate buried beacons. The cadets then spent a full day climbing a mountain with all of their equipment and skis and then skied down.

“This made the downhill skiing more satisfying because we had to climb to the top first,” Hoerdt said.

PAST TRIPS

Hoerdt previously completed two expeditions with Central Region Cadets and the Leadership and Challenge course at Rocky Mountain National Cadet Summer Training Center in Alberta.

“My favorite of all the activities was the ice climbing. That was something I never thought I would be able to experience.

This Wild Winter Expedition was a great experience and I would gladly do it again.”

Hoerdt also attended pre-para training with the goal to attend the basic parachutist course this summer. He is also applying to attend an international expedition to Iceland at the end of the summer.

The trip included avalanche training and mountain skiing.

Home and fashion show planned for Carleton Place April 13 to 15 Inside, on the main arena floor, organizers promise “wall to wall home and yard improvement ideas” as well as a chance for area people to become more familiar with the wide variety of businesses available in the town and the neighbouring communities of Beckwith Township, Mississippi Mills and nearby Ottawa.

Chief organizer Bob White, senior facilities operator for the Recreation and Culture Department, is already well known for promoting country music shows and conducting various other fundraisers in the growing community of nearly 10,000.

This spring he has his sights set on the first spring home show in the town in more than a decade. White is being assisted by Joanne Henderson, the town’s manager of Recreation and Culture and

by Jessica Smith, the community programmer for the Town of Carleton Place.

“There will be something for everyone,” he observes,

saying the objective is “to showcase the businesses and industries in Carleton Place and district.”

He obtained the blessing of Carleton Place council and then spoke to a lot of key people in the community before embarking on this latest venture. “The consensus is a spring show that is well organized and well promoted will work.”

White has been spending his off hours going door-todoor locally and across the district promoting the venture which takes place at Carleton Place and District Community Centre, the town’s arena complex, on Neelin Street.

White says the last time a home show took place locally was “in the mid to late 1990s.

“The Lions Club (Carleton Place and district) ran it. But the records haven’t been retained and no one seems to recall the exact date,” he observes.

He says like most events

the former Lions Club Home Show “ran its course.” Now he is planning a similar venture, but with some twists and features the previous production didn’t have.

GOOD TIMING

“We feel this is good timing for an event of this kind.

There isn’t a lot on in the immediate area that weekend,” White says.

“Carleton Place needs a spring event and this is a weekend to promote our town.

“We’re a growing community and this is an event designed to show off the local business community,” he underlines.

Besides the trade show on the floor of the main arena, the next biggest component will be the fashion and bridal shows planned for the main upstairs hall of the complex on Saturday, April 14.

The fashion show, featuring women’s wear, begins at

popular local group the Bowes Brothers, featuring four sons and their father Clarence, take to the stage. Saturday’s performance by the Bowes is scheduled to run for 4-7 p.m. while Sunday they will entertain from 1-4 p.m.

The litany of activities surrounding the production is lengthy!

A total of 75 vendors have rented space on the arena floor with several taking multiple spots.

“We have some good exhibitors coming in, a crosssection of businesses from Carleton Place and area, Lanark County and the Ottawa Valley,” White states.

Upstairs in the smaller of the two halls a ‘Crafter’s Alley’ will run throughout the weekend. A total of 19 spaces are available and last week some spots remained open.

Additional details are available from Bob White at 613253-5046.

He was a member of the Perth Kiwanis, True Britons Masonic Lodge, Perth and was Chaplain of Branch 244 Royal Canadian Legion, Perth.

Corrine Deslaurier (Guest) Died March 23-2003.

This day will be a celebration of the short time you were here.

You will always be remembered with great love and many tears.

But to only feel pain and sorrow would not be fair to you.

Your life meant so much more to us, more than words could say.

You were here so brieďŹ&#x201A;y. I wonder if you knew all the ways youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve touched our would and our hearts and everyone who knew you since the day God called you home.

Now my child, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an angel with your heavenly Father above, we see not only what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost but our capacity of love.

There will always be a big void in our life and a hole in our hearts that will never heal.

Our souls will grieve forever.

Will we forget or stop loving you?

No! Not nowâ&#x20AC;Śnot ever.

As this day is upon us, oh, how our hearts still hurt.

But even as I mourn you death, we will always celebrate your birth.

It was the happiest day of our lives.

NEWS

Your Community Newspaper

St. Gabriel’s historical information is sought EMC lifestyle - Work is well advanced on a history of St Gabriel’s Church and graveyard at Springtown, the purpose being to create a record to accompany the church restoration project.

Author Carol McCuaig is appealing for input from people with connections to the mission. During the month of March she hopes to hear from anyone who would like to contribute material to this work.

The effort, which was tackled with consultative help from Janet Carlisle of the Arnprior Museum, is meant to honour the faithful parishioners who attended there over the years, as well as those whose last resting place is in the surrounding graveyard.

The restoration of this beautiful little church is a labour of love, and well worth the effort involved.

The people who worshipped there, and in the chapel that preceded it, kept the light of faith burning bright for more than a century. They should not be forgotten.

Do you have memories of attending Mass or parish events at St Gabriel’s? Were you, or other family members, baptized, confirmed or married there? Who were the priests who served there?

Were you an altar server, or choir member?

You are asked to submit biographical details of any of your loved ones who are bur-

ied in the graveyard. Suggestions: place of origin; names of parents; where they lived; occupation; relationship to others in this cemetery; military service; community or municipal service; anything else for which you would like them to be remembered.

Similar details are also requested for any living people who will be buried here in due course.

Information is also requested concerning persons buried in St Gabriel’s graveyard for whom there is no tombstone.

Perhaps you have ancestors who are known to be there, whose grave markers have not survived?

Information can be sent to McCuaig via e-mail to juniper2@nrtco.net or by post to 127 McCuaig Rd., R.R.2, Renfrew, ON, K7V 3Z5. Anyone who may wish to check her credentials before responding can look at her website carolmccuaig.ca.

Be sure to include your contact details so that your work can be acknowledged. We are not looking for photographs at this time, but please feel free to mention any that you may have, in case this changes in the future.

What does St Gabriel’s church mean to you? This is your chance to tell the world.

All information will be gratefully received, and the author looks forward to reading everything you have to share.

Crews prepare to repair the roof of St. Gabriel’s Church, Springtown. A history of the church is now underway.

SUPPLIES NEEDED THIS WEEK: Arnprior Humane Society has many other Canned dog food, companion animals available for adoption. window and Featured animals are adopted quickly! surface cleaner, Website: http://www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca cat treats, Email: district.spca@bellnet.ca • 613-623-0916 cat food

ID#A141071 This white and tan Great Pyrenees mix dog is neutered and approximately five years old. Handsome Titus was brought to the shelter as a stray on March 5, but is now available for adoption.

This extra-large gentle giant loves to run around and play. He has an independent nature and a playful mind, but he is not food motivated, so his new family will have to be patient and creative with training techniques.

Titus gets along well with children (8 years and older) and adults. His owners need to know about the care needs and behaviour of Great Pyrenees dogs.

He wouldn’t mind another canine pal as long as they are independent and laidback like he is, but he’d rather not be a wall flower. Titus would love for his new family to show him the world is not a scary place.

LIVE TRAPPING AND RELOCATION: READ THIS FIRST Hibernating animals are waking up from their winter slumber and foraging for food and a warm place to stay.

It is natural to think that trapping and relocating is the answer, but while it is an immediate and easy fix, it is only a temporary solution.

Homeowners should take action to determine what attracted the animal to their property and remove and/or repair the sources of attraction. Otherwise, another animal will take up residence once the first animal has been removed, which can turn into a frustrating, recurring problem. Wildlife-proofing your home and property is a long-term, preventative, and humane solution.

Many people think that live trapping is a humane option because it does not result in the animal’s immediate death.

In reality, live-trapping and relocation is inhumane, cruel and ill-advised for the following reasons:

%('.#G%%&&('.*,.

Maximus was found wandering down a nearby road, he was brought to the shelter and never claimed. Max is a very handsome senior German Shepherd, approx.

7 years old. Even though he is a little bit older, he is young at heart. Max loves to play in the yard, he loves to play fetch and really enjoys his walks. He is an intelligent, well mannered boy with a good disposition. Max knows his basic commands, is housebroken and loves everyone he meets. He is good with other dogs, cats and older children. Max will make a fantastic companion for his new home.

TITUS

ID#A139723 This cute, spayed female, fawn tabby Domestic Shorthair cat is approximately seven years old.

Sometimes called “Goldie,” she was brought to the shelter as a stray on January 10.

This friendly feline loves to spend time on your lap and has a very sweet and affectionate disposition.

She got along very well with the medium-sized, calm dog in her OHS foster volunteer’s home.

Alwyn will tell all about her day and keep you informed on what’s going on in her world!

She is a Foster-Me-First cat because she needs to finish some medication for the dental work she received while at the OHS.

UÊ iÃÌ VÊ> > ÃÊ> `Ê Ì iÀÊÜ ` viÊ may harass the trapped animal causing further stress, injury or death.

UÊ /À>««i`Ê> `ÊÀi V>Ìi`Ê> > ÃÊ >ÞÊLiÊ separated from their young, and the dependent young left behind will die an inhumane death.

Relocated animals are at an extreme disadvantage in a new environment. They have to find food, water and shelter in an unfamiliar territory. There may be territorial disputes between the relocated animal and resident animals that can lead to injury and even death. Relocated animals

may also spread disease to the resident wildlife population, therefore causing other animals to become ill and/or die.

In Ontario, it is illegal to trap and relocate animals from the site where they were captured according to the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. Improper use of a live trap, which results in animal suffering, could lead to animal cruelty charges through the Ontario SPCA Act. Although people’s initial reaction may be to get rid of wild animals, trapping will not solve the problem. As long as an inviting habitat exists, wild animals will use it.

For tips on how to get wildlife to relocate on their own and how to wildlifeproof you home or property, visit www. ottawahumane.ca.
