Fire destroys mobile home Pet killed in Van Dusen blaze STAFF

The Arnprior Packers may have lost the Valley-Metro final series to Gatineau, but they revived interest in Junior B hockey in town in a big way. It was a wonderfully entertaining end to the hockey season. – Page 20

EMC news – Home and grass fires are keeping Arnprior firefighters busy. The day after a home fire in Arnprior last week, the volunteer fire department was summoned to yet another residential structure fire on Wednesday, March 28. The fire department was also called out to help extinguish a grass fire that threatened nearby homes just east of town Monday afternoon (see Page 2). Fire chief John Okum said the firefighters were called at 7:38 p.m. last Wednesday to the report of a mobile home fire on Van Dusen Drive near the airport in Arnprior. Flames and black smoke could be seen from a distance as five Arnprior fire apparatus responded. When fire personnel arrived on scene, flames had already engulfed a large portion of the structure. The owner was home at the time of the fire and was able to escape without injury, but the family dog perished in the blaze.

Churches to unite for Good Friday service St. Joseph’s, St. John

The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide wishes all its readers a safe and happy Easter holiday weekend. Our offices are closed on Good Friday, April 6 and will be open on Monday, April 9.

EMC news - For Good Friday services this year, Arnprior churches are ready to walk the talk. From north, south and east, Christians from nine local churches will, literally, carry the cross on their way to a special shared Good Friday Service at the Nick Smith Centre April 6 at 10:30 a.m. It is designed to demonstrate to Arnprior how local churches are working together. Organizers, including Andrew Love of Grace-St. Andrew’s United Church and Clark Young of Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church, say it will be a “powerful expression� of the vibrancy of churches in the community across many denominations. “It will be a very visible display of how Christians are united in their love of Christ,� says a news release promoting the event. Each group will carry a large cross that will be raised during the service.

The first group will gather at the Canadian Tire parking lot and will travel south down Daniel Street. The second group will gather at the Liquor Store on Daniel Street and travel west. And, the third group will gather at the parking lot of the St. John Chrysostom church on Albert Street and travel north. The groups will converge at the Nick Smith Centre. The gathering time for each group will be 9:30 a.m. This will provide ample time for prayer, fellowship and the walk itself. The walk will prepare participants for the significance of the Good Friday Service. The walk and the Good Friday Service are open to everyone. If someone would prefer to just attend the service, they are very welcome. There is plenty of parking space at the Nick Smith Centre. The churches are also having their own Easter services (see Page 40)

recognize Everyday Hero Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC events - St. Joseph’s School in Arnprior recently recognized a pretty special ‘Everyday Hero’. Sheamus O’Connor was presented with a certificate for being an Everyday Hero after the nine-year-old helped a fellow student who had a candy lodged in his throat. Sheamus says another student was patting the boy’s back, but when that didn’t seem to help, he remembered something from the babysitting course his sister had just completed. “I did the Heimlich on him,� said Sheamus. Principal Mary-Lise Rowat praised Sheamus’ quick thinking and actions. “We are very proud of Sheamus’ ability to recognize someone who was in distress,� said Rowat.

Firefighters face new challenges Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

CANADA DRY Photo by Derek Dunn

Record-breaking warm weather combined with a relatively dry winter have resulted in a number of close calls when it comes to grassfires across Canada. At the West Carleton-Arnprior border on Monday, April 2, firefighters from town, Carp, Kinburn, Dunrobin, Constance Bay, and Fitzroy Harbour descended on a grassfire that threatened several homes near Madawaska Golf Club. Ottawa fire chief Chris Burke estimated the wind-blown fire’s progress at five to six kilometres an hour, promoting the call for more back-up. It was stopped at a fenceline before any damage occurred. There was no cause determined at the time.

Fire deemed an accident with the cause related to cooking Continued from front The home and contents were a total loss. Okum said the Arnprior tanker truck was required as this area of town is not protected by the municipal water distribution system. Mutual Aid was quickly activated requesting the McNab-Braeside fire department to supply a tanker truck to

assist with water supply. The fire department remained at the scene until about midnight. The cause of the fire was determined to be accidental due to cooking. Okum expressed a special thanks to fire chief Ken Walton and the McNabBraeside fire department for providing mutual aid assistance. Also thanks went

to the Renfrew County Paramedic services for attending the fire scene, and the Arnprior OPP who assisted by providing traffic control while tanker trucks shuttled water to the scene. Arnprior had helped McNab-Braeside firefighters with a March 16 fire on White Lake road that killed 57-year-old Michael Sheppard.

MAKE THIS YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE SUMMER YET.

EMC news - It was a year of change, noted Arnprior Fire Chief John Okum in his annual report delivered to council March 26. Among the significant happenings in 2011 was the retirement of Deputy Chief Peter Boyce who had 25 years with the department and Brian Jahn, who had 50 years of service. “The department is very saddened to see that wealth of knowledge and experience leave,” said Okum. Long-term service like that is not as common anymore. “The department is seeing much more turnover today in volunteers,” said Okum. “This is not special to Arnprior, it seems to be a trend across the province and the country.” Family and job commitments are among the major reasons members leave the department, said Okum. Among the department’s major concerns, said Okum, are changes in building and construction materials that have changed firefighting. “There are stronger, more efficient houses but they burn more rapidly, which changes tactics and how we do our job,” said Okum. Total training hours logged for the year were 1,987, while 2,567 hours of emergency response work was logged. Mayor David Reid thanked Okum and the volunteers for their efforts.

Fire victim funeral date set Funeral arrangements have been set for Michael Sheppard, 57, who succumbed to injuries he received in a March 16 fire on White Lake Road. Services will take place on Saturday, April 14, at Kelly Funeral Homes at 2313 Carling Ave. in Ottawa. Visitation begins at 10 a.m. with a service planned for 11 a.m.

St. John Ambulance volunteer Travis Rosborough recently presented Sheamus O’Connor with an Everyday Hero certificate for his quick thinking when a fellow student was choking on a candy.

St. John volunteer praises St. Joe’s student Continued from front He kept a level head,� added Rowat about the young St. Joseph’s student. Helping recognize Sheamus’ actions was Travis Rosborough, a first responder and St. John ambulance volunteer, who was at the school for a safety presentation to the Grade 3-4 class and presented the certificate. “I’m blown away that somebody who is nine years old saw what was happening and knew

what he needed to do,� said Rosborough. He congratulated Sheamus for his actions. A first responder, explains Rosborough, is a community-based volunteer who gets specialized training to provide more advanced first aid. Rosborough spoke to students about safety and the steps to take in case of emergency, including locating an adult, calling 9-1-1 and staying with the person.

Gas prices rising, pushing up other costs John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Gasoline prices are on the rise again and they are expected to impact the cost of a wide variety of everyday items for Canadians. And it will be no different in the Valley. The price at the pump in Arnprior began rising from $1.29 a litre to as much as $1.35 during the mid-day Wednesday. Most if no all gas stations were expected to follow suit by day’s end. The price in Toronto rose above $1.40. Prognosticators predicted the price of gasoline would be up above $1.50 a litre by the end of April. The added costs are expected to boost the price of groceries and many other commodities that depend on gasoline-fueled transportation. McNab-Braeside councillors, during pre-budget discussions at their Tuesday meeting, noted it will affect their costs in various ways too. Coun. Brad McIlquaham reported that members of the area’s Community Policing Advisory Committee have asked the OPP for cost estimates in case the member municipalities decide to follow in the footsteps of such communities as Admaston-Bromley and Bonnechere Valley and sign contracts for policing. Coun. Bob Campbell pointed out that the rising price of gas alone will mean municipalities will face a major boost in policing costs in the next go-round. “There will be a big jump,� he predicted.

14), she said: Mr. Speaker, the safety of Canadians is the top priority for employees at the Chalk River nuclear laboratories of AECL. In 2011, we witnessed first-hand the importance of safety in the nuclear industry after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Our home-grown nuclear industry is a world leader when it comes to developing cutting-edge technologies to mitigate risks. The people of Chalk River Laboratories have developed a technology to absorb hydrogen gas. This gas represents a hazard in events such as occurred in Japan. The devices, known as passive autocatalytic recombiners, have successfully sold across Canada and to nuclear operators in Europe and Asia. Canada was only able to develop this technology as a result of the testing facilities at Chalk River Laboratories. The nuclear industry is a vital part of Canada’s economy. Over 50 companies and 70,000 full-time jobs help fuel our knowledge economy. Congratulations to everyone who works at Chalk River Laboratories for making it one of the world’s leading centres in nuclear science and research. “This is just one of the many activities that are happening in Chalk River. As a tier 1 nuclear nation, Canada benefits from having been involved in the nuclear industry for over 60 years. Our expertise is sold world-wide.�

McNab-Braeside council passed a motion Tuesday supporting Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant efforts to prevent the loss of nuclear industry jobs in Renfrew County. Coun. Bob Campbell raised the issue at the March 20 meeting, saying he had received a letter from Gallant asking for support for a campaign to publicize the importance of the jobs at Atom Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL) in Chalk River. Mayor Mary Campbell pointed out that AECL is the second largest employer in Renfrew County. The taxes it pays the county helps fund the bridges and culverts the county is trying to download on the municipalities, she added. The motion stressed that AECL is important to the economy of all of Renfrew County and the nuclear industry is a valuable asset to the county. In a news release, Gallant said: “The nuclear industry in Canada needs to be more assertive when it comes to explaining that nuclear means more than clean, green-house gas free electricity.

Wall of fire stunt suggested for Arnprior’s 150 celebration Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC news - Stuntman Dennis Pettigrew should know soon whether he will be able to take a stab at the Guinness Book of World Records record for racing through the highest number of walls of fire. The stunt is a possible addition to events planned to celebrate Arnprior’s 150th anniversary June 8-10. “We do believe that this will draw people from all over the valley,” said Coun. Lynn Grinstead, chair of the 150th anniversary committee. Pettigrew recently moved to Arnprior and was at the March 26 Arnprior council meeting to speak to the issue. He said the record is 20 and he’d like to do 30 in his attempt. The event would raise funds for the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital digital mammography fund, said Pettigrew. It would be a huge draw in terms of crowds, he added.

Pettigrew indicated he would be willing to a put up a $100,000 bond in lieu of insurance, which is impossible to get when it comes to a stunt like this, he said. The Arnprior Airport Commission will make a decision soon regarding whether the stunt will be approved at its location and then the matter will come before council. Pettigrew said he really hopes council opts to go ahead with the stunt. Fire chief John Okum indicated he has sat down with Pettigrew to go over details of the proposed stunt. Okum estimates a cost of about $2,000 of supplies, etc., would be needed for the stunt. MAYOR WARY

“I’m not sure I’m comfortable with this stunt,” said Mayor David Reid. “I’m just concerned about the legal liability and the financial liabil-

ity. There’s liability to yourself and liability to spectators.” “I’m 59 years old and I’ve been doing this for 30 years. But I understand your concerns,” said Pettigrew. However, just like with magic, the performer has his secrets. “To this, there’s a trick, too.” Planning continues to roll along for the county fair-themed anniversary event on the June 8-10 weekend. Planned events include a parade, an old-fashioned steam and tractor show, lumberjack shows, kids’ games, a wild west show, opening and closing ceremonies, displays at the park, food vendors, canoe rides, quilt show, historic tours, a pioneer village and a pie-baking contest. There will also be open houses at the museum, fire hall and fish and game club, as well as a fishing derby, live theatre, a barn dance, outdoor movie, interfaith church service, live local music and more.

Dennis Pettigrew hopes the Arnprior Airport Commission and the town will approve his attempt to break the Guinness record for most walls of fire ridden through on a motorcycle. Photos by Sherry Haaima

Council hears doggie doo complaint Arnprior recreation director Glenn Arthur and Kayla Menkhorst, youth program director, speak to council March 26 regarding the successful request to hire two permanent part-time employees to help with youth programming. For more details see Page 41.

Arnprior council started out the evening at its March 26 meeting discussing a crappy issue – animal feces. With the spring thaw and more people out in the streets, the problem is more evident than ever. A resident who lives in the new Campanale subdivision, said animal feces continues to be a problem in his neighbourhood. “I think we have an ongoing issue that is not being addressed,” said the resident. He stressed that both he and his wife are animal lovers but he realizes not all dog owners

aren’t following the rules. Coun. Lyle Anderson, chair of the Policies, Procedures and Bylaws Advisory committee, reported new signs reminding dog owners of the $65 for not picking up after their pets are on their way. The committee heard from bylaw enforcement officers that complaints have increased since the arrival of spring and signs will be erected.

Warden backs MPP’s private member’s bill Sweet throws support behind effort to have provincial gas tax shared with rural municipalities Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

EMC news - Local MPP John Yakabuski is looking for a positive response to his private member’s bill this week, but recent belt-tightening by the Ontario Liberal government may make that difficult. The bill, scheduled for second reading today (Thursday, April 5) is called the Gasoline Tax Fairness for All Act. It also has the backing of Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet. “Our taxpayers, wherever they travel in Renfrew County, pay into this pool of gasoline tax at the provincial level. We receive no funding from the Province of Ontario from that pool. It goes to the large urban areas. That’s fundamentally not fair,” Sweet told The Chronicle Guide EMC, noting he’s proud of Yakabuski’s previous efforts to lobby for gas tax money for rural municipalities. “So, we’re very supportive of anything he can do, moving forward through his caucus with a private member’s bill, to try and get sus-

tainable funding of some sort for transit and transportation issues here in the county.” From 2005 to 2009, the County of Renfrew received $6.59 million in federal gas tax revenue in the first five years of the program. For 2010 to 2014, according to county treasurer Jim Kutschke, the county will receive another $12.76 million. The County of Renfrew has received, meanwhile, no provincial gas tax revenue. “I understand there are tough times,” said Sweet. “There’s always to be tough times, but we have some serious issues here in the County of Renfrew. And John recognizes that, and he has been steadfast in his belief in moving forward to get equality and fairness, fundamental fairness, in the allocation of these funds.” In a news release from Sweet, the warden said Renfrew County’s roads and highways “are our only major transportation system. We don’t have light rail or subways or large bus systems. What we have is a large road system, and that is the transit system for our residents.

“It is unfair that rural communities pay taxes on gasoline, but are denied sustainable funding through the gas tax to maintain our roadways. It is my hope that MPP Yakabuski’s private member’s bill is successful and is enacted quickly.” NEEDED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE

If his bill is passed, Yakabuski says the Ontario Ministry of Transportation would be compelled to provide a rebate of gas tax to any Ontario municipality to construct, maintain or operate a public transportation system in those municipalities that didn’t previously receive a provincial gas-tax rebate. The present gasoline tax only permits municipalities with a rapid transit or public transportation system to seek a tax rebate. In Renfrew, the Sunshine Coach is regarded as a public transportation system, therefore the town receives federal gas tax revenue. “This bill would compel the government to treat all municipalities fairly, and similar to the

federal government by sharing a portion of the gas tax revenue,” said Yakabuski, the Progressive Conservative MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. “That is what the federal government does now because it recognizes what we in rural Ontario have always held; that our roads and bridges are our public transportation system,” he said. The Ontario PCs acknowledged the need for such a provincial policy, during the recent election, in its changebook. “As I have said many times before,” Yakabuski said in a news release. “I believe it is most unfair that rural taxpayers support urban public transportation systems, such as rapid transit, with their hardearned tax dollars, but receive nothing in return to assist with their local roads, highways, and bridges.” Provincial gas tax revenue for all Ontario municipalities has been advocated by the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus for several years.

Health minister must resign over ORNGE scandal: Yakabuski EMC news - Health Minister Deb Matthews must resign following revelations of lack of oversight, excessive waste and mismanagement at the disgraced agency ORNGE, says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. Yakabuski made his comments after the release of a scathing report from Auditor General Jim McCarter. The report found that Matthews and the Liberal government “completely failed” in their duty to provide proper oversight of an orga-

nization that has received more than 700 million in taxpayer dollars since 2006. “The Auditor General’s report confirms what the Ontario PC Caucus has said all along,” Yakabuski said. PUBLIC UNPROTECTED

“The ministry of health had the authority, oversight and explicit responsibility for ORNGE and it failed miserably in its duty to protect the

public interest. “The Minister repeatedly made excuses for the complete lack of oversight by claiming that she had no knowledge of what was going on at ORNGE and that she did not have the authority to intervene,” he added. “The Auditor General rejected the Minister’s claims today. The lack of oversight has put essential frontline patient care at risk. Dalton McGuinty has no choice but to fire Deb Matthews.”

Yakabuski went on to say that, “Compounding this $700-million mess is a government careening toward doubling the deficit, which is putting much needed healthcare services at risk.” INVESTIGATION DEMANDED

He noted that the Ontario PC and NDP caucuses joined together and voted in favour of calling on the McGuinty government to appoint a special select committee to investigate

the scandals surrounding the problems at ORNGE. “In another display of arrogance and neglect, Dalton McGuinty and Deb Matthews skipped the vote,” he pointed out. “For the sake of quality patient care and frontline healthcare delivery, we need to put the best interests of Ontarians first. “Deb Matthews needs to resign and Dalton McGuinty needs to launch an all-party investigation so we can get to the bottom of this mess.” R0011341367

OPINION EDITORIAL

Tough economic times are never pretty

H

as Ontario turned into a classic example of keeping up with the Joneses by increasing debt to keep up with the average Canadian consumer? The March 24 budget tabled by the provincial government says we are. Our piggy bank is dry, every last penny – and more – has been spent. We’re following in the footsteps of the average citi-

zen, who can’t seem to resist pulling out the credit card for pricey purchases. But unlike spend thrifty average Joes, we expect more from our government. We’re wasting billions of dollars on interest payments alone every year. To put things into perspective, Ontario spends $4.7 billion on the administration of justice and $7.5 billion on postsecondary education and training. The cost of servic-

ing the provincial debt each year nearly tops both at $10.6 billion. Now that the coffers are truly dry, it’s time to get on the right track and get rid of the debt, even if it means drastically cutting costs over the few years. Overall, there are bound to be people who are unhappy – take money away from anywhere and it’s going to reduce services and facilities, or affect staffing.

But years down the road, with the debt reduced, that’s a lot of money we could have back to invest in worthwhile projects. Ontario can fund a lot of schools and hospitals with $10 billion, a long-term gain that can’t be overlooked. Short-term, is this the best budget that people can expect? No, because things will be cut, services will be reduced. It might be a rough road, but

follow the path for the next five years and it’s going to be a good decision for the province as a whole. At least that’s the plan. There is a great deal at stake as Ontario’s 444 municipalities begin to realize they will have to make some hard choices. The choice between raising taxes to make up for any shortfall in provincial funding or doing without will be difficult to make.

Sewage treatment plants and schools do not come cheap. Even if Ontario is as overburdened as a beleaguered consumer, it’s never too late to chart our own path. Let’s not be an example of the poor getting poorer, because when you’re in debt to the tune of almost $240 billion, the hole is already deep enough. While the budget might not leave smiles on anyone’s faces for the immediate future, the cuts are going to mean a long-term benefit for our province and be a decision we won’t regret down the line.

LETTER

Agricultural society might lose heritage building, and honour To the editor: We are about to lose a local institution and its custodians are oblivious. Faced with serious issues, time and again the directors of the Carp Agricultural Society (CAS) - hosts of the annual Carp Fair - fail to fulfill their provincially-mandated responsibility to the community. The Exhibit Hall, the unique octagonal red building, is the focal point in the community. This City of Ottawa “heritage-designated� building, erected in 1897, is now in ill repair. In 2013, the year the fair will celebrate its milestone 150th anniversary, Heritage Canada funding could assist in its restoration, a necessity if it is to be preserved for future generations. Using federal government money to assist with the preservation of this building (home of the extremely popular Carp Farmer’s Market) would be a sound fiscal decision. Sadly, however, the board passed a motion to defer the planning of any capital projects for the 150th celebration until 2013, knowing full well that it will be too late to apply for the necessary funding. In December 2011, the CAS was approached by a reporter from CBC and asked to contribute to a story about the Exhibit Hall, its importance and future in the community. The CAS declined the interview. In an age when family farming and the traditional rural lifestyle are on the decline, and largely misunderstood, the decision to arbitrarily refuse publicity for their work to promote agriculture is highly disturbing. But that is not all. In November 2011, the Agriculture Division passed a motion that cancelled the CarletonRussell Holstein Show. This event provides an opportunity for Holstein breeders to showcase their prize-winning herds. I would consider it a vital educational component of the annual fair. Yet, strangely, the very people who have been entrusted by the Province of Ontario to promote agriculture have arrogantly chosen to ignore its importance. And they have done so without regard for the needs or desires of the community they serve. Recently, members of the Holstein Club met with the fair board to discuss the show. In a surprising move, a director of the Carp Agri-

cultural Society advised the Holstein Club that members of a local family would not be welcome to attend the meeting. Shame! This Carp family (Holstein Canada Premier Breeder) has been exhibiting livestock at their local fair for four generations. Several members of the family have served as directors/ presidents of the Carp Agricultural Society for close to 100 years. Faithfully, year after year, the entire family have tirelessly prepared their livestock for competitions, sharing their knowledge and love of rural living with the community. The majority of the current directors have none or limited agricultural background. Wouldn’t the sharing of this exhibitor’s long-time experience be considered beneficial to building a more vigorous organization? What is happening here? Remember the good old days when city folk eagerly awaited the arrival of the ‘EX’ in late summer? That too was once a highly revered fall agricultural fair. But slowly agriculture was removed and it became simply an annual amusement park, until one day it was gone. My fear is that power and arrogance and a true lack of foresight will cause the ever popular Agricultural Exhibition in Carp Village to suffer the same fate. Who is holding the Carp Agricultural Society accountable for its questionable decisions? In lieu of property taxes, agricultural societies in Ontario have a legal responsibility to “return� to the community. Shouldn’t restoring a significant heritage building be considered “returning to the community�? Indeed, as mandated custodians of this slice of Canadian culture, shouldn’t it be a decisive priority? Similarly, the mandate of agricultural societies in Ontario is to promote agriculture. It seems obvious; but shouldn’t hosting Holstein shows at the county level be considered promoting agriculture? The Ministry of Agriculture and the taxpayers of Ontario must start asking questions. If not forthwith, yet another symbol of our rich local culture and heritage will be lost forever! Now is the time for the directors to act honourably to restore honour to a society that was once considered honourable. Charlene Johnston Carp

NATURE

The catcher and thief exciting to watch for students, instructor EMC lifestyle – Seeing a bird of prey is always an exciting thing. Whether it is a Red-tailed Hawk patiently perched atop a roadside telephone pole or an American Kestrel hovering helicopter-like over a grassy field, encountering a bird of prey always generates excitement. Even more exciting is seeing two large birds of prey interacting. This very thing happened during the final field trip of my Carleton University Ornithology class. Each early April we head east of Ottawa in search of migrating waterfowl that frequent flooded fields. This year, however, the flooding

occurred in March and by April the fields were dry. By default we decided to head west, the Dunrobin area our chosen destination. The trip was an unforgettable one for my 22 students who were present that day. Turkey Vultures soared overhead while Eastern Bluebirds tamely sat on nearby posts. A Northern Shrike cooperatively perched atop a dead tree, allowing great views through my spotting scope. While all of these were exciting finds, the highlight occurred at the large marsh where Thomas Dolan Parkway crosses Constance Creek.

Here, a platform atop a telephone pole has enticed Ospreys to nest for years now. We stopped to view the magnificent hawks and were treated to close views of one of huge birds carrying large sticks to the nest, and of another perched atop a dead Michael Runtz tree, plucking away at a large fish. Nature’s Way Ospreys are specialized fish eaters. Their massive talons extend from muscular toes that bear sharp spicules on the bottom - projections that help hold slippery meals. Like the feet of owls, one toe is reversible. This unusual feature may help them grab fish they strike after diving feet-first from great heights. It may also help them manipulate their catch so that it faces headfirst as it is carried through the air. Then came a surprise that held all of us captivated. Just as the Osprey was nearing its nest

with a stick in its claws, a Bald Eagle suddenly flew in. It dove at the slightly smaller Osprey, causing it to bank sharply to the side. The eagle made a second pass at the Osprey before continuing its flight along the creek. As the eagle flew away, the Osprey took after it, eventually rising above it. It then changed from defender to aggressor and swooped at the eagle. Why did the eagle initially attack the Osprey? The answer is simple. Bald Eagles commonly rob Ospreys by harassing them until they drop their fish. This eagle likely thought the Osprey’s stick was a fish, so it was trying to steal a meal. When the eagle realized it was out of luck, it gave up. Perhaps as payback, the Osprey decided to drive the eagle out of its territory. Kleptoparasitism (food theft) is also performed by jaegers, which rob terns and gulls of their catches. Seeing one of those Arctic birds in action, however, could not possibly be as exciting as watching the mighty symbol of freedom attempting to steal food from the one of the greatest fish-catchers alive today!

If you have an adult wild animal, such as a squirrel, on your property at this time of the year, there are babies nearby. So never risk barricading an animal as they can cause damage in trying to get back to their young or in trying to escape.

Give wild mothers a break this spring Donna DuBreuil Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre

EMC news - The on-again, off-again temperatures, high winds and trees that are being cut down due to the emerald ash borer disease mean that a lot of wildlife is having a very hard time this year. Those leaf nests or dreys that squirrels normally occupy high up in trees offer little protection against either the elements or predators. It explains why females, come spring, are so desperate to get into an eave or attic or, for a raccoon mother to choose a chimney. Skunks and groundhogs will select holes under steps or sheds because they too need to find a safe spot for their young when they are most vulnerable. The good news is that this is a temporary situation. The safest and most humane option during the birthing season is to give a brief grace period until the babies are weaned and coming out with mother. The family will then move to a natural area and you can go about doing the necessary animal-proofing. It is also in a homeowner’s best interest to resist taking wildlife problems into your own hands, as abandoned hungry babies, in inaccessible areas in an attic, can fall between walls,

requiring expensive drywall removal. Or, if they are under steps, immobile babies will die and create bad and long-lasting smells. You can be sure if you have an adult wild animal on your property at this time of the year, there are babies nearby. So never risk barricading an animal as they can cause damage in trying to get back to their young or in trying to escape. Do not smoke an animal out of a chimney. Babies would not be able to escape and you could cause a chimney fire. Wildlife removal companies that say they offer a humane service can give you no guarantee they won’t end up creating orphans and, with very limited help available for wildlife, it is very unwise to take this risk. It is also illegal, under the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, to relocate any wild animal beyond one kilometre from where it was found, making trapping quite pointless. Be smart - research all your options before taking any action. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to wildlife concerns. Take advantage of the experienced advice at www.wildlifeinfo.ca and keep this site handy for all your wildlife questions throughout the year. You’ll be glad you did.

County striving to be greener and greener Algonquin College’s new campus moves toward opening Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew County continues efforts to become greener. Its long list of environmentally-friendly practices was highlighted by Renfrew County development and property director Paul Moreau during the March 29 session of county council. Moreau was speaking as staff chair of the green operations committee, which reports to the county’s development and property committee. The biggest savings are coming in terms of water usage and gas usage for buildings and vehicles, said Moreau. Water usage is down because of the installation of low-flow tanks, taps and nozzles. And gas consumption is down with the help of middle- and high-efficiency furnaces that have replaced older furnaces in the long-term care homes and the county’s affordable housing units. The green operations committee’s name is also being renamed the green operations and long-term asset management committee, since the two mandates often go hand-in-hand.

Examples of the latter’s focus includes operation of ambulance bases and the county’s two long-term care homes — Miramichi Lodge in Pembroke and Bonnechere Manor in Renfrew. The new committee name is expected to be approved at the late-April meeting of county council. The first green operations committee meeting met on April 23, 2008. The committee is now looking at future costs for expensive heating and air conditioning units, both because aging systems will need replacing and because new, more efficient systems will increase the lifespan of the buildings. “Can we make something last a little bit longer?� is a question that is being asked more and more by committee members, said Moreau. When looking at energy efficiency, the process is becoming increasingly green in scope, said Moreau. “Green goes hand in hand with saving money, and becoming more energy efficient is becoming more green,� he told The Mercury. Major savings are also happening with the use of diesel fuel in the fleet’s new

Sprinter ambulances and for its network of public works vehicles. Of its 55 vehicles, 29 run on diesel with the help of a cost-saving additive called cetane. In addition, emergency services have 22 diesel-run vehicles, which mostly consist of ambulances. In the past year or so, the county has pursued several green initiatives. Here are just a few of them: • replacement of mid-efficiency gas furnaces with high-efficiency ones in 67 affordable-housing family homes; • installation of a computerized energy management system and lighting retrofits in the county’s administration building; • the implementation in 2011 of virtual server technology to reduce the number of physical file servers (to reduce power and cool requirements); • reducing kilowatt-per-hour costs from $2.46 to $2.29 per square foot since 2009, for an annual savings of $23,800 at Bonnechere Manor; • replacing 460 28-watt pot lights with a retrofit package of 10-watt LED technology at Bonnechere Manor for an anticipated annual savings of $21,000;

Staff at Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley are pleased with such new programs as Co-opWorks, pre-apprenticeship carpentry, environmental technology, and applied research. But the biggest reason for enthusiasm is the Pembroke college’s new waterfront campus, which is scheduled to open this September. During the March 29 session of county council, Jamie Bramburger, manager of community and student services for Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley, provided an update of activities related to the campus opening. “It is the intention of the college and our builder that we will be moving in with our new students in September,� said Bramburger. Except for $3 million from a federal government accessibility grant, the $36 million project is being generated by the college with the help of various non-governmental supporters. The four-storey structure’s facilities will include a commons area that has a student lounge and cafeteria, as well as 16 classrooms, nine vocationally-based laboratories, a gymnasium and a fitness centre. The gym and fitness centre, said Bramburger, are critical social and recreational components of the college. The current campus, on the east side of town, doesn’t contain either. There will also be a two-storey library that will look out over the Ottawa River. The campus will have capacity for 1,016 full-time students, based on regular timetabling, but that number can move higher with creative timetabling, with evening or weekend schedules. That compares to the present full-time enrolment of 850, of which 60 per cent comes from Renfrew County. That 850 also represents a doubling of enrolment over the past five years at the Pembroke-based college. “I hope, if you take away nothing else from my presentation today,� said Bramburger, “it’s the importance of the college as an economic driver in bringing more young people here and retaining more youth in our area.� Of those county-based students, 60 per cent come from Pembroke, Petawawa and Laurentian Valley Township, while Renfrew and Arnprior account for 12 per cent. The 40 per cent enrolment from outside the county also makes the college more attractive for Renfrew County students, noted Bramburger. Another 15 per cent comes from the Whitewater Region and Eganville area, seven per cent from Deep River and Chalk River, and six per cent from the Madawaska and Barry’s Bay area. Fundraising from the local community has been significant, at close to $2 million for the new campus.

County won’t transfer 34 bridges, culverts back to municipalities Operations committee recommendation rejected Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

EMC news - It was a healthy discussion, but in the end Renfrew County council decided the county won’t transfer 34 bridges or culverts on non-county roads back to its lower-tier municipalities. The vote, during the March 29 session of county council, was convincing. Only four of 17 councillors - Warden Bob Sweet of Petawawa, Raye-Anne Briscoe of AdmastonBromley, Walter Stack of Arnprior and David Thompson of Deep River - supported the motion recommended by the operations committee. The final weighted vote was 50 for and 120 against. In making the recommendation, the committee considered such issues as whether the county should have jurisdictional control over bridge and major culvert structures (greater than three metres) that are located on seasonally-maintained roadways or only provide a service to local residents. The operations committee’s final recommendation called for the transfer of 34 bridges or culverts back to their home municipalities. These structures are on seasonally-maintained roads and/or not of regional significance. Four of these structures were rehabilitated since 2007, therefore no compensation was recommended

for them. If passed, the motion would have resulted in the county unloading 15 bridges and 19 culverts with financial compensation of $50,000 per most structures, or $1.5 million in total. An approved motion would have resulted in Brudenell, Lyndoch & Raglan Township receiving the most transfers, namely six bridges and two culverts. Next would have been five structures to Madawaska Valley, four to Greater Madawaska, and four to North Algona Wilberforce. Those rejecting the motion included Audrey Green of the operations committee who said she originally supported the recommendation. “We’d be doing McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campan injustice by saying, ‘There’s bell makes a point in the bridge debate $50,000 for each (structure). Go during the March 29 county meeting. fix them.’ We need something more workable.” 34 of the 157 or 158 structures that She also suggested perhaps some remain under the county’s auspices of these structures, once fixed, could even though they’re on non-county be returned to their home munici- roads. In total, the county is responpalities. sible for 259 bridge and culvert Director of public works Dave structures. Darch said he was “somewhat disThose opposing the motion includappointed that county council didn’t ed Reeve Norm Lentz of Brudenell, support the recommendation,” but Lyndoch and Raglan, and mayors admitted, “I knew when we took it Peter Emon of Greater Madawaska through committee it was going to be and Dave Shulist of Madawaska a controversial issue.” Valley, as members of Shulist’s own The recommendation covered just council sat in the audience to watch

the discussion at county council. Despite his opposition, Emon referred to the review of the bridges and culvert policy as necessary. In a three-page letter to Darch, Emon opposed the recommended transfer, noting the two culverts recommended for transfer back to Greater Madawaska could be replaced with the $50,000 per culvert compensation. But the $50,000 for each of the two bridges to be transferred was inadequate, he added: “The bridges cannot be replaced without great expense and utilization of specialized or extensive and expensive consultants.” In written correspondence to the public works director, Lentz said his township felt the bridge policy “should remain unchanged and that we are being penalized for the County of Renfrew’s inability to plan for future replacement and maintenance costs for these structures.” Shulist was outspoken with his remarks at county council after already indicating in correspondence that is surprising the county never developed financing strategy to address the issue of maintenance, repair and replacement of such culverts and bridges since the county assumed responsibility for them in 1998. Before council, Shulist asked that any downloading of these structures be done in a fair and equitable manner. “To suggest that a non-rationalized flat rate of $50,000 per structure is appropriate compensation is sim-

ply unacceptable,” said Shulist. “A more reasonable and realistic compensation would be to calculate where each structure is in its financial life cycle and transfer that amount to the lower-tier municipality in which the structure is situated. That would be fair and equitable.” Mayor Janice Visneskie of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards said adoption of the operation committee’s recommendation would have little impact on her township, but that it is a matter of having regard for her neighbouring municipalities. She said the county wanted the structures many, many years ago and the county should now be responsible. Horton Mayor Don Eady said his township would not be affected by adoption of the motion, but that he couldn’t support it. He didn’t say why. One of the four county councillors supporting the motion was Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, the operations committee chair. Stack indicated the intention wasn’t to place undue financial hardships on lower-tier municipalities. At the same time, he said, “When I look at bridges that exist in this county that cross waterways that are in a deteriorating condition and don’t go anywhere, and provide purely recreational services for a handful of people in the county, I have a hard time looking my ratepayer in the eye and saying we should be paying to reconstruct those bridges.”

Be careful on roads this Easter: OPP Police investigate break-ins, EMC news - The Ontario Provincial Police is cautioning drivers to be aware that the roads will be busy with motorists taking advantage of the improving weather and the Easter long weekend. They are sharing some important tips to remember every time you get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle: Pay Attention to the Road. Distracted drivers are a safety risk. It is illegal in Ontario for drivers to use any handheld communication and entertainment devices (not exclusive to cell phones) while operating a motor vehicle. The OPP has seen a decrease in the number of persons using handheld devices, but are concerned about the large number of drivers who continue to engage in this dangerous activity. Buckle Up - Seatbelts Save Lives.

All Ontario drivers and passengers must wear a seatbelt in a properly adjusted and securely fastened manner. It’s the law. Making sure your children are also secure in a properly installed child restraint is equally as important. Wearing a seatbelt properly will dramatically increase your chance of surviving a motor vehicle collision. Obey Speed Limits. Speed continues to be the number-one cause of motor vehicle fatalities in Ontario. Slowing down, and obeying the posted speed limit, will reduce the number of fatal crashes and serious injury collisions. Slow Down or Move Over. Drivers must remember when passing an emergency vehicle stopped with its emergency lights activated in the same direction of travel, either in a lane or on the shoulder of a road.

mischiefs and collisions EMC news – The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to 158 calls for service last week. During the week, officers investigated four domestic disputes. One woman was charged in regards to breaching her conditions. OPP investigated three break and enters and five thefts. No charges have been laid. The investigations are continuing. Police also investigated five mischiefs in the Renfrew County area over the past week. No charges have been laid and the investigations are continuing. Lask week, Renfrew OPP conducted nine R.I.D.E checks and investigated 12 motor ve-

hicle collisions. On Monday, March 26, OPP Constable Sidney conducted a traffic stop on Highway 17 in the Horton area. The male driver and passenger were both charged with possession of marijuana. The Renfrew OPP thank everyone who donated to the law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics on Saturday at No Frills in Renfrew. The fundraiser was a great success. Good luck to the athletes participating at the games in Kingston this year. The annual torch run will be taking place this year on May 16 in Arnprior and Renfrew.

Picket line up at Haley Industries as talks with mediator fail peter.clark@metroland.com

Employees showed up at work early Tuesday morning to discover the gates locked at Haley Industries on Magnesium Road in Whitewater Township. It was in response to strike action by about 388 employees in production and maintenance, represented by Local 4820 of the United Steelworkers. Haley Industries manufactures airplane parts for Magellan Aerospace. According to Steelworkers’ eastern Ontario staff representative, David Lipton, the employees’ collective agreement expired March 15 and talks with a provincial mediator Monday failed to reach

a settlement. The employees voted 96 per cent in favour of a strike, and as of 12:01 a.m. April 3 were in a legal position to do so, said Local 4820 chief steward Peter Vanderploeg. “It (the strike vote) was last Monday and they (the company) hadn’t budged since then. Their final offer pushed us here,” Vanderploeg added. “I’m at the table in the negotiating committee. It was a tough decision to make because the offer they gave us was an insult. “Wages is basically what we are after,” Vanderploeg noted. “We don’t want to be out here (on the picket line), but we don’t

want to be treated like garbage. “We need the community behind us. These people spend a lot of money in the community, and they (Magellan, owner of Haley Industries) are treating us like s--t,” Vanderploeg said. “The company accused the Ministry of Labour of being in cahoots with the union,” Vanderploeg stressed. “We are not asking for the world. We are trying to keep up with the way everything is going.” There has been no response to calls made to Haley Industries. One striking employee said Haley Industries last went out on strike in 1990 and 1975. -With files from Lucy Hass

New regional lab services include ADMH Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news – Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital (ADMH) is part of the largest clinical integration of regional laboratories in eastern Ontario. This ground-breaking collaboration went live Saturday (April 1) under the member-owned, not-for-profit, Eastern Ontario Regional Laboratory Association (EORLA). This collaboration is geared toward improving quality in patient care and managing costs. The voluntary initiative involves 16 hospitals through the Champlain LHIN (Local Health Integration Network). EORLA bring together 800 professionals and a $90 million budget and will con-

duct over 13 million diagnostic laboratory tests per year. Along with ADMH, EORLA members include the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Hôpital Montfort, and the Almonte General, Carleton Place & District Memorial, Cornwall Community, Deep River & District, Glengarry Memorial, Hawkesbury District General, Kemptville District, Pembroke Regional, QueenswayCarleton, Renfrew Victoria, St. Francis Memorial, Winchester District Memorial and Ottawa hospitals.. “EORLA is truly a flagship initiative in Ontario,” said Randy Penney, chair of EORLA’s board of directors. “Patients will receive enhanced quality and standardized laboratory

services delivered seamlessly across the region. Laboratory employees benefit from increased career mobility and opportunities, and enhanced professional development.” According to ADMH CEO Eric Hanna, the EORLA announcement is an evolution of a multi-site laboratory system the hospital has been involved with for years. “Way back when, Arnprior had its own lab. Then we joined the West Ottawa Valley Lab Group and there were five of us (hospitals) and that was in place and had been in place for close to 20 years. Now, that is evolved into 16 hospitals,” he said, adding the process is not unlike what the hospital has undergone with regard to its computer information system that now links several hospitals.

COOKING UP A BIG DONATION

“From a point of view of the hospital, per se, we have not actually employed lab technologists or technicians at our place in 20 years. They were employees of the QueenswayCarleton Hospital,” Hanna added. “Now they are going to be employees of EORLA Inc.” The board represents all member hospitals. “Will we save money? Not necessarily, but I think what it will do is allow us to perhaps avoid spending money down the road that we might not need to … such as being able to share costs because we can buy equipment together and we can send more tests to the Ottawa Hospital where they have the equipment and we don’t.” Hanna believes one of the most

important aspects about the hospital’s EORLA membership is the fact it should assist with pending shortages of health human resources. “Down the road and more and more people retire, now instead of Arnprior or as part of the Queensway-Carleton lab where maybe we had 60 people, now we have 800. If you run into a labour shortage, you were looking for one in 60. Now you are looking for one in 800,” he explained. “It is protecting us and providing us with that kind of flexibility down the road, much more than costs savings. It should be the same or better service down the road for the same price,” Hanna concluded. For more information, visit www. eorla.ca.

Drama students win awards at festival Michaela Lapierre Co-op student

The Upper Ottawa Valley Regional Sears Festival was held at Arnprior District High School on March 27. “The play went really well. It was a great turn-out. Lots of people,” Marybeth Pidgeon said. Unfortunately ADHS did not win. RCI won. Their play was called The Worker. It was directed by a student. ADHS did win some awards though. They won the award of Merit for acting. The whole cast’s acting was well done. Emma Cooper won an award of excellence for stage management, Conor Hogan won an award of excellence for acting and Caroline Popiel won an award of excellence for directing a play written by her sister. Even though ADHS did not win, they did do an excellent job.

Homelessness and housing: ‘Let’s take action’ EMC News - Homelessness is a hidden problem in Renfrew County. Many know people who are ‘couch-surfing’, camping or living in their vehicles because they can’t find affordable and safe housing. The Renfrew County Legal Clinic

is hosting two community meetings in April to kick-start a larger discussion about the issue of homelessness and inadequate housing. It is inviting members of the community to participate. “Different agencies and groups

in the County have been working on this issue, and the Legal Clinic hopes to identify and support collaboration amongst our community partners to develop some real solutions,” said Amy Scholten, staff lawyer with the Legal Clinic.

“We’re looking at both short-term and long-term strategies Everyone is welcome.” The meetings are being held in Pembroke at the Marguerite Centre on Tuesday, April 10 from 1 to 4 p.m. and in Renfrew at Ma-Te-Way

Activity Centre on April 27 from 9 a.m. to noon. Refreshments will be provided to all participants. For those interested in attending, call Emily at 613-432-8146 or 1800-267-5871.

Fishing, hunting experts will conduct seminars at Valley Fishing and Outdoors Show in Carp By JEFF MAGUIRE The ‘Valley Fishing and Outdoors Show’ returns to Carp April 13-15 and with more exhibitors, additional prizes and numerous seminars featuring hunting and fishing experts, this year’s venture promises to be the best ever. The Carp Fairgrounds and Arena complex is once again the site for the 13th edition of the always popular, threeday presentation. “This is the biggest show of its kind in Eastern Ontario,” says chief organizer Dave Arbour of Valley Outdoors

Promotions. “We will have some of the best known experts in the business on hand,” Arbour states. Among them are David Chong and Doug Brownridge who will deliver the ‘BassTalk’ seminars on Saturday morning and afternoon, April 14. Each will be one hour long. Chong and Brownridge are among Canada’s most successful bass tournament winners and their seminars are acknowledged to be “the most informative in the field.” Sunday, April 15 will feature more

outstanding fishing seminars! “Be sure to participate in our new Musky Hot Stove with Matt Clay of Musky Canada,” Arbour stresses. “Dale McNair (another expert) will also be participating in the Musky panel.” Sunday afternoon at 1 o’clock Canadian Angler Hall of Fame inductee “Big Jim” McLaughlin takes centre stage. “With his many years of experience Big Jim is always a hit,” Arbour underlines. Also on the fishing side, the Ottawa Fly-fishing Society will lecture on their sport.

“They will be discussing the set-up of fly fishing gear in preparation to target local species including bass, pike, pan fish and trout,” Arbour explains. “There will also be casting demonstrations as well as discussions about the rods, reels and flies appropriate for landing these species. “In addition there will be hands on opportunities for casting and tying flies,” he outlines. There is also “a gun show within the show” and the $8 admission price (children under 12 get in free if accompanied by an adult) covers both the main event and the gun show. Parking at Carp Fairgrounds is plentiful and free of charge! Arbour says those interested in hunting wild turkey will not want to miss the Valley Fishing and Outdoors Show. “Friday evening will be all about turkeys with Quaker Boy pro staffer Adrian Hare taking the seminar stage. “Adrian will help you develop the techniques required to land that big spring gobbler,” the chief organizer says. Also Friday, Kevin Bartley from Gobblestalker Calls will be at the show discussing the importance of turkey calling. He will give a demonstration relative to the principle design and maintenance of turkey calls. A recent addition to this year’s show is Taylor Wright, host of the Canadian Tradition hunting show. Wright, who hails from Chaffey’s Locks, will be hanging his hat at the Eastern Canadian Outfitters booth. He will appear at the show for a few hours on both Saturday and Sunday to meet and talk with hunting enthusiasts. “He’s a big name and he’s sure to be a major attraction,” Arbour says. Many prizes Those in attendance might be fortunate enough to win one or more of the hourly prizes which will be given throughout this year’s show. The only catch is that door prize winners must be on site in order to win. In addition, Arbour says Eastern Canadian Outfitters 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. Another interesting aspect of the 2012 extravaganza is the Big Buck, Bear and Moose Contest. 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. For participants, entries cannot be picked up again until 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 15 the final day of the event.

The Carp presentation is a family-oriented event with lots of games and prizes for children and the young at heart. For many people the exhibit halls are the main attraction. “We have expanded and that means more things to see and do,” Arbour promises. 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. “This year we will have many new outfitters on hand to help you plan an adventure trip, anything from a fishing weekend to salmon fishing or bear, moose and caribou hunts,” the promoter states. “There is truly something for everyone who likes the outdoors. “This year’s event is made possible by great sponsors such as Rapala, Shimano, Lucky Strike, Quaker Boy, Tie Boss and the Stittsville Shooting Range,” Arbour says. The 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. To reach the Carp Fairgrounds and Arena Complex travel to Carp Village which is easily accessible via major highway routes including March Road, Carp Road and Highway 417. It is located minutes north of Scotiabank Place, home of the National Hockey League’s Ottawa Senators. The fairgrounds are on Carp Rd. (Ottawa Rd. 5), past the four-way stop in the middle of the village. If you are coming from Kanata or Stittsville, drive to the top of the hill and look for entrances to the grounds which will be easy to find on your right. If you are traveling from locations in West Carleton such as Dunrobin and Fitzroy Harbour the fairgrounds will be on your left as you enter Carp. People driving from outside the immediate area can reach Carp via Hwy. 7 or Hwy. 417, east from Carleton Place and Arnprior or west from Ottawa. Take the Carp Rd. exit and follow the signs to the village. Arbour is also the man behind the ‘Valley Gun and Hunting Show’ which runs at the same location in Carp annually. This year’s event will once again operate Labour Day weekend, Saturday Sept. 1 and Sunday Sept. 2. In March Arbour organized the second annual ‘Renfrew Gun Show’ which was highly successful. On May 12 Valley Outdoors Promotions will offer the second annual ‘Brockville Gun and Hunting Show’ at Brockville Memorial Centre. On Sept. 15 they will present the ‘Havelock Gun and Hunting Show’. Watch for future articles and advertising highlighting those upcoming productions!

Close but no cigar: Packers lose in six to Mustangs John Carter

ed by over 200 minutes in penalties before a raucous crowd in Arnprior. The Packers lost Lowry, Teddy Suckow, Mitch Parker and Braedon Moffatt to game misconducts after four major fights. The crowd was also feisty, with one fan getting his horn broken in a tussle. Gatineau built up a 5-0 lead before Parker Davies scored at 9:06 of the third, too little too late. Despite all the penalties, there were no power-play goals. Arnprior outshot Gatineau 39-36. During the game, Packer defenseman Marc Vacher, who sat out the game with an ankle injury, proposed to his girl friend (she said yes).

EMC sports – It was a disappointing ending, but it couldn’t take away from what a great season the Arnprior Junior B Packers had. Despite losing in six games to the Metro Division champions Gatineau Mustangs, the Packers can be proud of their performance. The champions of the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League finished the season and playoffs with 41 wins and only 12 losses. And they almost became the first Valley team in 15 years to best a Metro champion. The Arnprior fans responded by filling the rink at the Nick Smith Centre in the playoffs and there was even a group of enthusiastic supporters that organized a bus on Facebook and went to Buckingham for game six. The Packers dominated at times in the series with Gatineau, but it was their inability to hold on to leads that led to their demise. Arnprior had two-goal leads in the three games in Buckingham, but lost them all. After winning the first game of the series 6-3 on home ice, the Packers took 3-1 and 4-3 leads before losing game two 5-4 in overtime. That proved to be a crucial loss. Then, when they should have been concentrating on regaining momentum in pivotal game three back in Arnprior, the Packers came out swinging, losing four key players to game misconducts in a fight-filled first period and fell 5-1 to the Mustangs. Gatineau took a 3-1 lead in the series, erupting for six straight goals after Arnprior had tallied the first two, to win 6-2 in game four. Arnprior fought back from the brink at home March 28 when Casey Doner scored at 10:48 of overtime to give the Packers an exciting 7-6 victory before an estimated crowd of about 1,200 noisy fans jammed into the Nick Smith Centre. However, it shouldn’t have been that close as Arnprior was on top 3-0 after the first period and also had 4-3, 5-4 and 65 leads before the Mustangs forced overtime with a goal with 1:42 remaining. The revitalized Packers went into Gatineau’s rink last Friday and grabbed a 2-0 first-period lead. However, in a familiar scenario, Gatineau scored two power-play goals in the second and another in the third with two Packers in the penalty box after Derek Lowry had given Arnprior a 3-2 lead. The Mustangs then broke the Packers hearts with a tie-breaking goal at 14:46 of the third and clinched the 5-3 win and the

Gatineau moves on to play the Casselman Vikings in the EOJHL final. The Vikings beat the Athens Aeros 5-2 Saturday to win their Rideau-St. Lawrence Conference final 4-3. GAME 2: GATINEAU 5 ARNPRIOR 4 (OT)

Lowry, Doner and captain Ryan Eady scored first-period goals to give the Packers a 3-1 lead. However, Gatineau regained the momentum with its second-power play goal of the game to pull within one at 9:36 of the second, then tied the game less than a minute later. Lowry’s unassisted marker at 13:53 of the second game put Arnprior back in the lead, but Mustang scoring star Dominik Robinson scored his second goal of the game in the first minute of the third. Robinson completed the hat-trick on the powerplay at 10:27 of overtime to even the series 1-1. The Packers outshot the Mustangs 41-30, but couldn’t connect on any of their six power-plays, while Gatineau went 3-for7 with the man advantage. Arnprior chased Gatineau’s starting netminder Marc Andre Charron in the first period and Jean-Philippe Giroux took over until the team’s injured number on goalie, Jean-Philippe Charbonneau returned in game six. Matt Couvrette played the full series in the Arnprior net. Taylor Collins had two assists for Arnprior. GAME 3: GATINEAU 5 ARNPRIOR 1

Gatineau scored three first-period goals in a stanza dominat-

Taylor Collins scored once and set up goals by Lowry and Derrin Lehoux to give the Packer a 3-0 lead after one period. Gatineau fought back in the second to tie the game 3-3, before Collins assisted on Lehoux’s second goal of the game on the power-play at 15:40 of the second to put the Packers back in front. The see-saw battle between the two offensive-charged teams continued with Gatineau tying the game before the period ended. Collins set up Primeau to give Arnprior a 5-4 lead and Lowry put the Packers up 6-5 on the power-play. However, Robinson scored with 1:42 left to send the game into overtime, where Davies and Dan Weir set up Doner for a goal that sent most of the large crowd home happy and the Packers back to Gatineau for game six. GAME 6: GATINEAU 5 ARNPRIOR 3

The Packers welcomed the Mustangs’ first-string goalie, Jean-Philippe Charbonneau, back with goals by Lowry and Davies in the first period. Gatineau tied the game with two powerplay tallies in the second (after being rocked by four Arnprior goals in the second period in the opener, Gatineau outscored the Packers 9-3 in the middle stanza in the rest of the series). Lowry’s second on the power-play in the first minute of the third period gave Arnprior the lead and renewed hope they could force a game seven back home Sunday. However, Robinson tied the game with Arnprior two men short at 9:56. With the game heading for overtime, Francis Richard tallied to give Gatineau its first lead of the game at 14:46.

Less driving, no checking among plans for minor hockey next year Letourneau, Ogilvie take over top spots on executive Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC sports – The number of Arnprior kids playing hockey was down by 37 last year, to

228, but the Arnprior Minor Hockey Association executive is working on a couple of solutions to lure back players.

Photo by Mike ‘Bubbles’ Lowe

CHAMPIONS TWICE OVER It’s been quite a couple of weeks for the Arnprior Legion Oldtimers team. The squad won the Arnprior Oldtimers Hockey League tournament last weekend. Then it won the Tuesday Night Men’s League playoff championship. The team includes, in back from left, Ray McNulty, Mike Battison, Peter Ross, Dave Wiggins, Cliff Judd, Mike Millins, captain Dave Falherty, and Dan Talbot; and in front Bill Ruddy, Larry Dennee, Steven Mosley, Rob Boersma, Andy Seguin, and Alan Rowsom. Missing from photograph are Chris Bryson, Steve Dennee, and Mike ‘Bubbles’ Lowe. The Arnprior Oldtimers Hockey League is a 40+ men’s loop with four teams of 64 players playing refereed games Tuesdays at 9 and 10:10 p.m. from the beginning of October to the end of March. To get on the waiting list for next season, call Don at 613-623-7271.

The association’s annual general meeting, held March 27 at Nick Smith Centre, was only fairly well attended but resulted in the first non-acclamation vote for a position in many years. The executive now includes president Jeff Letourneau, vice-president Harvey Ogilvie, Matthew Naismith, Joe Brennan, Calvin Leduc, Michelle Beale, Cory Saunders, Melissa Blaauwbroek, pastpresident Denis Couture, Scott McEwan, Michel D’Amours, Neil Moodie, Susan Mills, Karen McNab, Trevor Reid, Savio D’Souza, Rob Montague and Wendy Tremblay. Along with other Ottawa region hockey associations, the group is joining the majority of Ontario regions in a ban on body-checking in house league play. Representative teams from the Pee Wee stage up will remain exempt. The move could convince some more parents to register their children in the game. Concussions at the NHL level, especially high profile player Sidney Crosby’s, have caused a lot of concern

among minor league players and parents. Even a local Bantam tournament last year was about to be cancelled because not enough teams signed on. Then it was switched to nochecking and organizers had too many wanting in. All other tournaments were well attended and financially successful. The association’s income totalled $294,151; expenses were $239,163; the net income was $55,700. Kids played 380 games, with just 17 hours of ice left unused. TRAVELLING TOO FAR

Parents of non-rep teams have told the executive that travelling to Barry’s Bay, Deep River and elsewhere is too much given the price of gas and amount of time it takes. The executive is looking into creating a “split district,” so no Arnprior team would be made to travel farther than Cobden. Already some Deep River teams refuse to travel down to Arnprior, though the reverse wasn’t the case this past season.

TEAMS NOT SO SUCCESSFUL

Arnprior teams aren’t winning as many season and tournament banners as in the past, but the board noted more players are being called up to higher level regional teams, which they say is an indication of good coaching. One exception was the Novice rep team. It was the first year for novice-tiered team, coached by Letourneau, but the players managed to handily take the league championship and do very well in all tournaments. Letourneau said he was pleased, if a little surprised, to be nominated then named the new president. “However the nomination coming from the existing executive is a nice endorsement,” he said. “My main goals will be to continue the great work of this season’s executive with continued focus on player development and ensuring our players and volunteers have a positive experience with minor hockey.”

Hockey for Heart raises money for defibrillators EMC sports - It was a blast. And it also raised money for a great cause. That was the conclusion of the players on the 15 teams that participated in the annual Hockey for Heart tournament at the Nick Smith Centre March 23-24. The 15 teams, including ladies’, co-ed and men’s, all contributed to the fundraising to place automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in Renfrew County through the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Arnprior recreation director Glenn Arthur, an avid supporter of the cause, was thanked for helping organizers arrange for referees, timekeepers and many other key volunteers. The Alumni team played against the top fundraisers to wrap up the tournament. The team featured Bryan Richardson, Doug Smith, Rick Smith, Shawn Rivers, Ted Bulley and the Hanson Brothers from the famous hockey movie, Slapshot. Dave Hanson, Jeff Carlson and Steve Carlson endeared themselves to the players and fans by being so accommodating, as well as entertaining so well.

The Hansen Brothers of Slapshot movie fame attended the Hockey for Heart tournament and entertained with their unique brand of slapstick hockey. Afterwards, they spent hours chatting with local hockey fans and signing autographs. Right, the brothers with Rob McLaren of Arnprior. Left, they meet Arnprior recreation director Glenn Arthur, a major booster of the tournament, and his family. From left in back are Jeff Carlson, Kathy Arthur, Steve Carlson, Mckenna and Shane Arthur, Dave Hanson, Millie Crozier and Anderson and Sarah Braham; and in front Erin and Hunter Storie, Glenn Arthur, Madison Storie, Anastasia Braham and Amanda and Langley Braham.

“McCANN” FAMILY INFORMATION WANTED

Many of the 15 teams were local, including the Arnprior-based Valley Boys.

We represent an extensive family tree of McCANNs in Ireland and the United States, all of us descended from a few ancestors who lived around Forkhill and Mullaghbawn, in the southernmost region of County Armagh, Ireland.

R0011342500/0405

We have recently found traces of McCANN immigrants who left the same area of County Armagh between about 1820 and 1860, and settled in southern Ontario. We are interested in locating present-day descendants of these immigrants, in order to correspond and fill out the missing branches of our large family tree. We welcome any and all information about McCANN immigrants to Canada, and will be happy to share our genealogical information in return. Please contact either by email: McCann.Descendants@gmail.com Or by post: Damien McCann Gerard McCann 10566 Sedgwick Road 29 Sycamore Road Port Orchard, Washington 98366 Mount Merrion.

HIGH-FLYING DONATION

Arnprior Home Hardware recently had a raffle to help talented local snowboarder John Leslie raise money so he could attend national Para team events. With the support from Home Hardware manager Neil Slater, Leslie was able to raise over $1,000 with a fundraiser based on the raffling of 50,000 Aeroplan points. Daniel Vidal was the lucky winner of the prize. The money raised helped Leslie pay for flights, hotels, race fees, equipment and much more. “I am very thankful for the very supportive community I live in,” said Leslie, noting he is competing in Whistler for 20 days “and hopes to make Arnprior proud.” Taking part in the presentation of the Aeroplan points at Home Hardware, from left, are Keith Thomas, Vidal, Leslie and Jennifer Prince.

McNab-Braeside ball sign-up ends April 15 EMC sports – Spring weather is here, which can mean it is time to find the ball gloves and bats. McNab-Braeside Minor Ball has officially opened 2012 registration (until April 15) and the township is preparing the diamonds (McNab Centre Park, White Lake, Braeside and Glasgow Downs) for another season. The league has been around for 30+ years and is made up of youths starting at four years of age with Timbit T-Ball, progressing to underhand pitching into the windmill pitching, through to 18 years of age. Many of the players go on to the adult leagues that are now running in the local area. The association has also hosted Select Division, which is part of a greater association and play in Ottawa, Toronto, etc. McNab-Braeside Senior Girls and Boys teams have participated in the Provincials with the Boys winning for two years. McNab-Braeside does not have a competitive level division. The association is also in need of umpires for the 2012 season. For more information or forms to register for M-B Minor Ball, please refer to the website at www.mcnabbraeside.com or email at mbfastball@hotmail.com or drop by the McNab-Braeside Township Office.

BOYS OF OLD This photo submitted by Larry ‘Bunny’ Pouliot, taken circa 1960-1961 of an Arnprior-area ball team, is missing just one name: The legion president at centre (can anyone help?). In the back row, from left, are Michael Doucet, Lou Goulet, Terry Sevigny, Mike Cardiff, Gary Rafter, Terry Pulcine, Larry Pouliot, and Paul Proulx. In the front row are Francis Marcellus, Larry Pulcine, Terry Moulard, Remi Gravelle, Roy Clouthier, Richard Hall, Mike Hogan, Gord McDowell and Vic Barney. With Arnprior celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, many old photos have come out of the closet.

Billy Denault and March Michelle Reid. The Bluefish Club held its annual swimathon Monday and Wednesday. Swimmers attempted to swim five kilometres in two hours. That’s 200 lengths of the pool. Swimmers may be sponsored by the length or a fixed dollar amount. Consider sponsoring a Bluefish, who may be canvassing your neighbourhood. The swimmers who brought in the most sponsors last year were awarded Bluefish team jackets. For more information about the Arnprior Bluefish, visit the website www.arnpriorbluefish.net.

Packers core to return Continued from Page 20 Mustang points leader Nicolas Belleville scored an insurance marker into the empty Packer net at 19:17. The Packers knew they had control Gatineau’s topscoring line to win the series, but that was easier said than done. Belleville has 36 points in 18 playoff games so far, and Robinson has 18 goals in 18 games, including 11 against the Packers. Together with Steven Chauret, the line has 93 points in 18 games. Collins led the Packers with nine goals and 20 assists in 15 games. Other top offensive players for Arnprior were Lehoux (7-15-22), Lowry (10-11-21), Davis (6-7-13), Primeau (5-8-13), Weir (4-8-12), Doner (6-5-11), Suckow (5-6-11), Parker (29-11) and Eady (4-6-10). The Packers should have a strong team again next year, although they will have some holes to fill because of four graduating overagers (Davies, Lowry, Weir and Vacher) and a loss of a major player in the Lowry trade. The team hopes to have a strong core of players back, led by the league’s top defenseman, Shane Smith, as well as top scorer Collins.

Valley Pride brings home gold, silver medals EMC Sports - It was a busy and very rewarding weekend for the Arnprior-based Valley Pride basketball teams. The Midget and Bantam girls both played in the Eastern Ontario Basketball Championships. The Midget girls won a thrilling overtime victory over the Capital Xelles from Orleans. A great defensive effort in overtime by the girls

helped secure a one-point victory. Coach Alan Atikinson was very excited with the girl’s effort throughout the tournament, as they went undefeated to capture the gold medal. The Bantam girls lost a hard-fought battle with the Brockville Blazers. The game was close with the lead going back and forth throughout the contest.

In the end the Blazers were able to pull out a three-point victory over the Valley Pride team. Coaches Jeff Heath and Joe Lavoie were very happy with the never-give-up attitude of the girls, battling through many bumps and bruises in the final game. Both teams’ next action will be at the Provincial Championships later in April.

Sure sign of spring: Quyon Ferry hits the water for another season Theresa Fritz Theresa.fritz@hotmail.com

EMC news – The trip just got shorter for motorists from this area looking to travel between Ontario and Quebec. The Quyon Ferry, which transports cars and trucks across the Ottawa River from Fitzroy Harbour to Quyon, Quebec, ofďŹ cially opened for the season March 30. The ferry service has operated at its present location at the end of Ferry Road, off Galetta

Side Road, for nearly 120 years. The ferry provides a valuable crossing and transportation link between Ontario and Quebec. The nearest interprovincial crossings available to motorists when the ferry is closed

for the winter is the Champlain Bridge in Ottawa or the Portage du Fort, north of Renfrew. The McColgan family has been behind the operation of the Quyon Ferry for more than half a century. In 1956, Ed McColgan bought the business from Angus McLean who had to retire after 40 years on the job due to failing health. The McLean family had run the ferry since 1893. From early spring until November, the ferry operates on a regular schedule. The ferry can handle vehicles up to 11 feet in height and 27

feet in length. Small trailers can be unhooked to make the trip. For April, the ferry will be running Monday to Thursday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday from 6 a.m. top 11 p.m. On Saturdays, the ferry will run from 7 a.m. to midnight, Sundays from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and this Friday, Good Friday, the ferry will run from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. For more information and the complete schedule, call the Ferry Hotline at 1-819-4582286 or 1-819-458-2032 or visit the website ww.quyonferry.com.

NFU speaks out on horse racing changes Farmers organization expresses concern provincial moves could hurt farmers with the horse racing industry because of the economic benefits it provides to farmers and to rural communities. The NFU is concerned about the ripple effect a downturn in the horse racing industry will have on farmers and rural communities. According to Ann Slater, Ontario NFU co-ordinator, “the loss of the horse racing industry could lead to the loss of important businesses and services in rural communities like feed mills and farriers, along with the loss of income to farmers who sell hay, grain and straw to the horse industry.” Slater also noted the horse racing industry is an important source of income

for rural communities which host race tracks and benefit from the tourism and entertainment dollars spent in rural businesses. In Renfrew County farmers sell hay and grain to those race tracks. “The Ontario Government should be looking for ways to increase the sustainability of horse racing with its economic, cultural and historic contributions to the fabric of Ontario rather than sounding its death knell which is surely what the removal of revenue sharing will do,” concluded Mackay.The Arnprior Agriculture Society has been attempting to organize horse races during the summer at its fairgrounds in Arnprior.

Playoff drive has Sens soaring with Sportsnet By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com The Ottawa Senators’ surprising rise to playoff contention has been a hit with television viewers. Fans are tuning into the team in record numbers on Sportsnet East, the team’s regional rights holder since the network launched in 1998. Through games played March 23, Senators telecasts were attracting an average per-minute audience of 196,200 per night, an increase of 24 per cent over the 2010-11 campaign. “We’re approaching 200,000 viewers per broadcast and that’s the highest our Senators numbers have ever been,â€? said Rob Corte, the network’s vice-president of production. “We’re very pleased and it’s indicative of how the team is (playing) and how the marketplace feels about the team.â€? Indeed, it’s no coincidence that the signiďŹ cant rise in interest in Senators TV broadcasts falls in line with the growing enthusiasm about a team that, in a lot of eyes, wasn’t expected to contend for a playoff position in what had been deemed to be a rebuilding season. However, with less than two weeks left in the regular schedule, Ottawa holds down seventh place in the

Eastern Conference and is moving closer to nailing down a post-season berth. “There weren’t high expectations (for the Senators) coming into the season,� said Corte, a former producer of Sens games on Sportsnet. “They had a young team and were relatively inexperienced, but the team has performed well, the veterans have had strong comeback years and there’s been surprise

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 they’re again one of the teams to beat heading into the 2011-12 postseason. The Bruins’ biggest breakout player of the campaign has been second-year forward Tyler Seguin, who’s emerged as a prime leader of the team’s attack. Patrice Bergeron rates as one of the NHL’s top twoway threats, while Milan Lucic and Brad Marchand are physical forces who also produce plenty of offence.

Zdeno Chara is still one of the league’s most feared blueliners as well as being a top Norris Trophy candidate. With Tuukka Rask sidelined by injury, the majority of the goaltending load falls on the capable shoulders of Tim Thomas, last year’s playoff MVP.

performances by some of the younger players. “It’s related to success and a current playoff spot. That has translated into some strong ratings ... They’re an exciting team and you want to watch the games. Clearly, that’s what viewers are doing now.� The ratings surge began in the early months of the season and continued to grow. “Traditionally, the

numbers always start off strong,â€? said Corte. “There’s that hope at the start of the season, that hockey’s back, and then, depending on how the team does, it’ll go up or down. In Ottawa, it started strong. It signiďŹ cantly and steadily climbed through the ďŹ rst months of the season and it stayed there. Now the numbers have been consistently good all year.â€? At least two Senators telecasts on Sportsnet have cracked the 300,000 mark this season — a Nov. 4 matchup with the Montreal Canadiens (327,400) and a Jan. 17 contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs (334,800). The average overall reach during a game, or total viewership, has swelled to 750,000. As well, the Senators are starting to reap full beneďŹ ts of the Portable People Meter (PPM) ratings

system, which is designed to provide a more accurate method of audience measurement. “We’ve been trending up for several years and the addition of PPMs has certainly made for more accurate audience reporting,â€? said Jim Steel, the Senators’ vicepresident of broadcasting. “The exciting team is also contributing to (the ratings increase) as well.â€? This season has also seen the introduction of a 30-minute pre-game show leading into Sportsnet telecasts, which Corte believes can help get fans revved up for the games. “The pre-game show has been a pleasant surprise ... the numbers have been tremendous,â€? said Corte. “They’ve far exceeded what our expectations would have been. There is a desire and craving for Ottawa Senators coverage in the marketplace and this speaks to it right there. (The pre-game show) just gives viewers another place at a different time to get Senators information. It builds anticipation and gets the story lines owing leading into the broadcast and then it just carries through (to the games).â€? Sportsnet East and Sportsnet One will carry a combined 52 games this season to the Senators broadcast territory, which covers a region extending east from Peterborough, Ont., and also includes parts of Northern Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces.

Cadets help keep memory of Vimy vets alive with Easter weekend ceremonies EMC lifestyle - Arnprior army cadets will take part in ceremonies in Ottawa this weekend to mark the 95th anniversary of the First World War Battle of Vimy Ridge. The members of the 2360 Royal Canadian Artillery Royal Canadian Army Cadet Company will join other cadets at the National War Memorial for two ceremonies and an all-night vigil. One is set for Sunday, April 8 at 6:30 p.m. and the other at 10 a.m. Monday, April 9. It was 95 years ago on Easter Monday in

1917, that the four Divisions of the Canadian Corps, fighting side-by-side for the first time, captured Vimy Ridge. In 2010, Canada marked the “end of an era� on Vimy Ridge Day with the passing of the country’s last First World War Veteran. Youth were challenged to take up the torch of remembrance so the memory of those who served between 1914 and 1918 would never fade. In 2011. marking the beginning of a new era, the Royal Canadian Army Cadets com-

Following the commemorative aspect of the ceremony, which includes the laying of floral wreaths, youth, will form a candlelight procession as a tribute to those who fought and lost their lives in the First World War. The cadets will mount an overnight vigil, similar to that held by troops 95 years ago who had to wait until adverse weather conditions passed so that they could storm the ridge.

PETS

Spring is in the air and so is the smell of a pet in need of grooming EMC lifestyle – With the winter hopefully behind us, our attention now turns to that awful smell coming from our pet. There’s nothing like a good professional grooming to start the spring off right. For the long thick-coated

dogs and cats, having a professional groomer remove the undercoat followed by daily or weekly home grooming sessions (depending on the breed) will keep the coat in a manageable state in-between grooming visit. As we get into the warmer

months many owners will opt perhaps for a shorter clip. As for the shorter coated dogs and cats, a good bath and brush would probably do the trick. Just like in human beings, dogs and cats can have either oily or dry skin. Add winter and you’re looking at greasy and flaky pets. This also contributes to unnecessary shedding of fur around the house. Having your pet’s coat in perfect shape not only leads to a healthier pet but a happier pet owner. SPRINGTIME AND PET ADOPTIONS

With spring in full bloom, our attention turns to the adoption of a new household pet. For some of you out there, cute and cuddly are the only criteria for making that adoption happen. Most of us adopt on impulse without much thought to the needs of the adopted pet. My kids want a puppy, my kids just fell in love with my neighbour’s puppy or I promised the children when they’re old enough to look after a puppy we will

adopt one, etc. Unfortunately children lose interest and mom and dad with their busy schedules end up looking after the newly adopted pet or worse, after a trial and error period, the new addition finds itself at a shelter. What would be better for you? Adopting a mature pet that has all the vaccinations, is toilet trained and has had all the little quirks worked out or do you adopt a young pet that will need guidance in its formidable years and a whole lot of patience. The simple way of rul-

Puppies and kittens will need to be inoculated, toys and accessories will be purchased, and that does not include the initial cost of the adoption or purchase. Adopt based upon your needs. Criteria such as your overall health, financial means, rent or own, apartment or home, backyard, acreage or balcony, work schedule are just some of the things you should consider before you head out the door and get to that cute and cuddly stage. Having a pet should be for life and not just some passing fancy. There are those of us out there who just make a decision based on very little other than a desire to adopt with little or no regard to how the new addition will feel when things don’t work out. Remember, pets have feelings too! Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Pet Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North.

LEO

ID#A139840

Meet Billy, a neutered male, sable and white German Shepherd mix. This handsome boy is just over a year old and was brought to the shelter as a stray on January 27. He is full gown at 22 kilograms – a medium-sized bundle of energy ready to settle in to his forever home. Billy loves to go for daily walks – he is a very active dog! He loves to play with toys but sometimes needs guidance and he needs to learn how to share them. He’s looking for a forever home with teens and adults who can take an active role in his training. He’d rather not live with cats and would be happiest as the only dog in his new home. Billy beneďŹ tted for participating in the OHS L.E.A.D. (Leadership Education with Adolescents and Dogs) program, where he learned basic obedience and socialization. He’s got a strong foundation and knows his basic commands, but he needs owners who will provide consistency so he can truly excel.

This neutered male, brown tabby Domestic Longhair cat is about seven years old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on March 26. Leo loves to have his ears rubbed and to tell you about everything about his day. He has an inquisitive mind and a regal presence. Leo gets along best with people who appreciate a strong-willed, spirited cat, and he needs an owner who can handle an independent-minded feline who loves being petted, but who can also be a rough player. No small children or other pets in Leo’s forever home, please! He wants owners who he can have all to himself!

Tip: If your child shows symptoms of allergies, consult an allergist. Don’t assume allergy symptoms, if they arise, are caused by a pet. Myth: The addition of a new family member is a disruption too great for your pet to tolerate. Fact: A new family member may be difďŹ cult for your pet, and all animals react if their routine is disrupted, or they feel they have been displaced, but these reactions can be minimized by careful preparation and working with your pet before you bring home the baby. Tip: Gradually accustom your pet to spending less time with you. Avoid drastically decreasing attention after the baby comes home, which will likely make your pet feel stressed. If your pet is particularly attached to the motherto-be, another family member should develop a closer relationship with the animal to ensure that the animal doesn’t suddenly feel abandoned when the new baby arrives.

for pets and for farm animals. The OSPCA would continue to have the power to enforce animal welfare law when it comes to pets, but some of the officers’ powers would be stripped. Information about the bill is available on a website MacLaren has set up, www.fixtheospca.ca.

her hands afterward. She should also wear gloves while gardening to avoid coming into contact with feces from other outdoor cats, and thoroughly wash her hands afterward. Consult your physician if you are concerned about the risks of toxoplasmosis. Myth: My pet will get angry and hurt my child. Fact: While all pets react differently, you should never leave the baby alone with your pet, even after the baby is crawling or walking. This way you can keep an eye on the situation and protect your child from an exuberant pet (and protect your pet from an enthusiastic child). Tip: Make sue you spend time with your pet and baby together, so your pet views the newcomer and the new relationship as a positive experience. Myth: Infants are more susceptible to pet-related allergies. Fact: Many allergies are to things like laundry detergents or new food.

Pet Adoptions

GAINING A BABY DOESN’T MEAN LOSING A PET Every year hundreds of animals are surrendered to the Ottawa Humane Society when a new baby arrives. Myths and false information about cats and dogs frighten new parents into giving up their animal friend, who could be a warm and loving companion for a child. We’re busting the myths associated with pets and infants so that you can ensure your pet stays with you and your growing family. Myth: Living with pets causes birth defects. Fact: While toxoplasmosis, a diseasecausing parasite found in cat feces, can cause serious birth defects, it is more commonly found in uncooked or undercooked meat. Toxoplasmosis is very uncommon in Canada and transmission through the family cat is extremely rare. Tip: Have someone other than the pregnant woman clean the litter box. If the pregnant woman must clean the litter box, she should wear rubber gloves and a face mask, and thoroughly wash

ing out future problems is to adopt smart. For example, if you live in an apartment, then adopt a small less active pet like a kitten or cat or a small dog that does not bark instead of a large dog that requires a lot of room and attention. If you want a pet but work 12-hour shifts or are away from the house for long periods at a time, perhaps you should not be looking at adopting until your situation changes or adopt a mature cat that you know is litter box trained and won’t destroy your home while you’re away. If you’re an older retired couple or individual, do not adopt a large overly active pet that requires lots of exercise and room to roam. Adopt a smaller pet that you can take with you while enjoying those golden years. The last thing you need is to be tied down. Puppies and kittens require a lot of time, patience and money. You should have them vet checked within the first day or two after the adoption to make sure that they are healthy.

New hat sparks an unlikely smile from the minister’s wife EMC lifestyle - “A real saint, that’s what she is,” Mother said for the umpteenth time that Saturday morning. “We think we’re poor ... now that’s poor!” The conversation was between Mother and my sister Audrey, and it must have been very important because I wasn’t brought into the discussion. “Little ears!” Audrey said nodding ever so slightly in my direction. Mother had emptied out the blue sugar bowl of every cent of her egg money and put it in her little change purse. We were heading into Renfrew for the week’s supplies, and that day my sister and I were going too. That in itself was strange. Audrey and I were usually left at home to do house chores. But it was the day before Easter Sunday, and just maybe there would be a few store-bought chocolate eggs on Mother’s list. We headed right for Walker’s Store, bypassing Scott’s Hardware and Ritza’s Drug Store, which were always visited by Mother on a Saturday. Mother and Audrey moved like they had a purpose and I followed behind trying desperately to keep up. They went right to the lady’s hat department. Such an array. It was enough to dazzle your eyes. Every colour, every shape, and all bedecked with ribbons and silk flowers.

Mauve seemed to be the “in” colour that year. Mother and Audrey tried on just about every hat on the big long counter, and even the hats that were on silver painted plaster heads. “Too fancy,” Mother said. “Too many flowers and not enough ribbon” Audrey said, as they tried on one after the other. Finally, one appealed to both of them. It was plainer than I fancied, but then I didn’t have anything to say in the matter. I was only glad they picked a mauve one. Straw it was. With a wide ribbon. Only one small dark purple velvet flower was on the very front of the hat. Mother took it over to the counter and counted out $1.25 cents. A goodly sum for a hat back then. I wasn’t sure if Mother or my sister Audrey would be wearing it on Easter Sunday to church. But it would sure be a lot fancier than the ones both had been wearing for years. Mother seemed to be in a hurry that Saturday. The stops at Scott’s Hardware and Ritza’s Drug store were barely long enough for me to get out of the buggy and back in before we headed out of Renfrew to the Northcote Side Road. Back at the farm, I was the first off the buggy, since I had to forego my usual stop at the train station to use the bathroom, because Mother seemed

Mary Cook’s Memories BY MARY COOK

to be in such a hurry. When I rounded the corner to go back into the house, Audrey was unpacking the few packages, and I could see Mother heading out the lane again with the buggy, and with Queenie at a good trot. I guessed she was going to Briscoe’s General Store for something she had forgotten. Easter Sunday morning was a special day for me. This was when we dressed with special care. My hair had been tied up in rags all night, my best dress

washed and starched, and my short white gloves sparkling clean. Of course, I wouldn’t put them on until we were ready to walk into church, where everyone would be in their best clothes, and those who could afford them would be sporting something brand new. Alas, that wasn’t my sister Audrey’s or my fate. I was astonished to find Mother was wearing the same old hat she had worn on Easter Sunday for years. “Aren’t you going to wear your new

hat, Mother?” I asked. “Not today, Mary ... now hurry, we’ll be late for church.” We went right up to the front pew where we always sat. The usual tussle to separate the brothers, so there would be no pushing and shoving, or other disturbances during the service finally settled us in our seats. Directly across from us the minister’s wife always sat ramrod straight and alone. My brother Emerson always said he thought she went to church through the night, because it never mattered how early we got there, she was always there before us. Always in the same black dress with the little white lace collar and the same black felt hat which she wore winter and summer. Never looking left or right.

I couldn’t believe my eyes! There she was, in the same dress, but in the hat Mother had bought at Walker’s Store the day before. I let out a gasp and poked Audrey on the knee. She put a finger to her lips telling me to be quiet. The service started with the organ gasping out the first hymn and the minister, climbing up into the little pulpit at the front of the church. I couldn’t take my eyes off the minister’s wife. And then she did something very unusual. She turned her head and looked right at Mother. She nodded ever so slightly, and gave the faintest smile, and then turned her face back to her husband. The first Hymn, ‘Christ the Lord has Risen today’ echoed through the church.

Pork, orange and sweet potato Ottawa Valley food co-op to hold annual meeting next week make an easy meal in a dish EMC lifestyle - It’s always nice to come across a recipe for a main course that’s easy to prepare and that combines the cooking of meat and potatoes in one dish. In this recipe, pork chops, sweet potatoes and orange slices are cooked together for a tasty main course. This is a good dish to plan for the next time you have company. It has lots of flavor, and looks as if you’ve spent hours in the kitchen. It’s also convenient to prepare without a lot of last-minute fussing. Because it takes about an hour to cook, you’ll have time to spend visiting with your guests. Pork and Sweet Potato Combo 4-6 lean pork chops 2 tbsp. olive oil or vegetable oil 4 medium sweet potatoes

Pizza Pizza gives slices for devices in April EMC business – Throughout April, Pizza Pizza’s restaurant locations are trading slices for unused cell phones or handheld devices. Now in its eighth year, the company’s Cells for Slices program encourages people to recycle their unused devices, which are often not disposed of properly. All of the proceeds collected from this initiative beneďŹ t Food Banks Canada as part of its Phones for Food program. As innovations in technology increase, so do consumers’ desire to keep pace with the latest trends. While many may not want to use their normal garbage to dispose of their old or unused devices, most are simply unaware of safer alternatives for dealing with this waste. Cell phones and smart phones contain hazardous substances that are harmful to the

environment if not recycled responsibly by an approved electronic waste recycler. The collection of these devices and subsequent processing of materials, through the Cells for Slices program, not only curbs these environmental threats, but raises funds for an important cause, Food Banks Canada. “With over 851,000 people visiting a food bank monthly, we depend on the support and generous donations from the business community and the Canadian public,� said Katharine Schmidt, executive director at Food Banks Canada. “The Cells for Slices program is an initiative that helps Food Banks Canada raise funds that are invested in national programs to support food banks across the country. Through its Cells for Slices program, Pizza Pizza has helped to recycle more than 5,600 used mobile devices since 2004. R0011307342_0308
