EMC news – The lockout or strike deadline for Town of Arnprior unionized members has been extended to April 26, but according to both sides a deal could be reached well before then. CUPE 4960 national president Dan Pike said the 23 members of the local voted Monday in favour of a revised contract offer. He wouldn’t reveal the vote breakdown, but it’s a shift from a previous vote when the members were fairly united in their rejection of the original offer. At that time 77 per cent voted against. Mayor David Reid and council were briefed by the negotiating team Tuesday and were expected to vote in favour of the contract this morning, April 19. While he didn’t want to anticipate how the seven-member council would vote, Reid anticipates a work disruption has been avoided. “That is the expectation,� he said. Reid wouldn’t comment on issues that remain on the table be-

fore ratification. But did say any negotiation requires compromise on both sides, and that this “good deal� should restore morale to the municipal government. “Everybody’s doing it (negotiations) for good reasons,� he said. “We’re all working for the same cause.� The contentious issue of the introduction of temporary workers was settled, but not to Pike’s thorough satisfaction. The town will be allowed to employ temps if it is awarded a special grant for a specific project, but they can’t do union work. A letter of understanding to that effect that will require agreement on wording is a concern of Pike’s. On the town wanting the ability to call in unionized workers at any time, 24 hours a day, Pike said the hours per shift can not be arbitrarily increased or decreased. That means a water plant employee can’t work from, say, 2 to 5:30 a.m., or a snowplow operator work 12 hours or more. See COMPROMISES Page 2

COMMUNITY BOOSTER

The best in local business was honoured during the eighth annual Business Achievements Awards and Gala Reception hosted by the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce, Town of Arnprior and Township of McNab-Braeside last Thursday evening. Taking home the Chamber Member of the Year Award was Island View Suites marketing manager Kimberley O’Shaughnessy, right. She accepted the award from town councillor and Chamber director Lynn Grinstead. For more on the awards, see Pages 3 to 7.

EMC news - McNab-Braeside residents will have a chance to provide input on how the township should proceed with service agreements it has with the Town of Arnprior for recreation and library use. A public meeting set for May 7 comes after several months of negotiations between the municipalities and extensions of the existing contracts. “What it comes down to is how much is McNab-Braeside willing to pay for the services and how do we want to pay for it?� said Mayor Mary Campbell

when council met at a special meeting as part of budget deliberations April 4 to hammer out what options should be presented to the public. The three possibilities council will introduce at the Monday, May 7 meeting are: accept Arnprior’s proposal, a move that could see a significant increase in the overall tax base; reject the proposal outright and have users pay directly for using the library and the Nick Smith Centre facilities; or reject Arnprior’s offer and have users pay, but subsidize a portion of their fees.

Several area municipalities, including Admaston-Bromley and Horton, have used similar subsidy systems in the past. The rate Arnprior is suggesting is $60 per user for 2012-13 and $65 for 2014-16. As per a recommendation from Coun. Aldene Styles, a member of the negotiating team, a portion of that rate will be reimbursed when users bring their receipts to the township. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish hall on Dochart Street in Braeside.

EP zoning compromise worked out by M-B, MNR John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – Not everyone’s happy, but at least it is better than it originally was. That seems to be the general feeling of McNabBraeside landowners affected by the Environmental Protection (EP) zone included in the township’s comprehensive zoning bylaw. About 20 people attended a public hearing in Braeside Monday to see the results of a compromise between the township and the province over what areas should have the EP designation. Former councillor Jim McGregor said most affected people are still not happy with the designation that restricts what landowners can do with their property. See MNR Page 2

‘Compromises by both side’ A fourth year was added, pushing the end date back to April 2013. The union wanted it to end in December, just as snow season starts and plow operators are in highest demand. “There were some compromises by both sides,� Pike said. “How they implement some of the changes and how they affect employees is another thing. But basically the union is satisfied.�

EMC news – A high school student asked Arnprior council at its April 10 meeting to shut down certain streets in town for a run to support mental health. Alexandra Boese, representing the student council at Arnprior District High School, told councillors about raising funds and awareness for teen mental health. The issue has taken on greater prominence since the creation of ‘Do It For Daron’ – an initiative for mental health in honour of Daron Richardson, the daughter of Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson who took her own life last November. Money from the May 5 run would go to CHEO, Boese explained. The entry fee is $20. The run would start at the high school, proceed through Gillies Grove, then up Daniel Street to William, then to John and Ottawa streets, ending at the school. Mayor David Reid said the “very Photo by Derek Dunn worthy cause� would be brought back to council for final approval at Alexandra Boese listens as council discusses a proposal for a run for mental health May 5. a future meeting.

MNR to drop its appeal of township bylaw

Continued frrom front McGregor did thank township council and staff for doing a “great job� in negotiating the compromise. “It’s not all we want, but it could be worse,� he said. After hearing in 2010 from a number of ratepayers unhappy with increases in the EP zone in the new mapping, the previous council reverted to the previous data in the township’s updated zoning bylaw. That didn’t sit well with the provincial ministries of municipal affairs and natural resources, which appealed the bylaw to the Ontario Mu-

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell reported the MNR has agreed to drop its appeal of the bylaw if council approves the compromise. (It expected to do so Tuesday, but this week’s council meeting has been delayed until April 24 because of staff illness.) She reported some of the EP zone areas in the updated mapping have shrunk, thanks to exhaustive site visits by planner Bruce Howarth, while

others stay the same. Howarth and township CAO-clerk Noreen Mellema deserve a lot of credit for their tireless work on finding a solution to the dispute, she said. Mellema noted that if landowners still want to appeal the revised bylaw, they should ask the OMB to seek party status in a hearing against the bylaw (the MNR wasn’t the only party that filed an appeal). Landowner Valerie Kohlsmith asked if council would consider lowering taxes on property that is limited in its use by the EP designation. Campbell said it’s an issue council could investigate. Gillies House propertyowners Alex Winter and Ron MacIntyre expressed concern the township’s new zoning bylaw puts unfair and unexpected restrictions on what they can do with their land. The zone doesn’t mean building can’t be undertaken on the property, but does force the owner to pay for engineering studies to ensure it is safe and would not trouble neighbours, explained Howarth.

Business achievements recognized at gala Chamber, municipalities host award night Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news – Local business excellence and community leadership were in the spotlight last week. The eighth annual Business Achievement Awards and Gala Reception was held at the Nick Smith Centre April 12. Eight businesses/ individuals were recognized at the event hosted by the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce (GACC), Town of Arnprior and Township of McNab-Braeside. Emcee for the evening, Jon Pole of MyFM radio, said 2012 is “an exciting year” for Arnprior and noted the community has experienced the most growth in the County of Renfrew, the Arnprior Jr.B Packers won the Valley Division hockey championship and the town will celebrate its 150th anniversary this June. “This night will be a celebration of the businesses and communityminded folks,” he offered. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski also mentioned Arnprior’s growth and said the new highway interchanges off Highway 17 have changed how the community appears. “It looks like a city, but it still has the heart of a small town,” Yakabuski said. ARNPRIOR AWARDS

The first awards of the evening handed out were from the Town of Arnprior. Mayor David Reid, who donned his Ottawa Senators jersey

for the gala in honour of the Sens’ hockey playoff series opening game against the New York Rangers, did the honours. Reid presented the Mayor’s Community Awards to the Gallery Gift Shop and Krown Body Maintenance. “The Gallery Gift Shop and Anthony, Margaret and Tara Pocket are being recognized for the inspiration, motivation and dedication to the Town of Arnprior, in particular to the downtown core,” said Reid. “What began as a small picture framing store in the downtown Arnprior is now a destination spot for visitors and residents,” he said of the gift shop owned and operated by the Pocket family. The mayor continued that the business not only attracts shoppers to the downtown, but the buildings (both old and new) housing the business were “a major improvement to the downtown” and have set an example for others to try and match. “The Pockets have done the Town of Arnprior proud with both the addition they put on their building as well as with their longevity and vitality of their business,” Reid concluded, adding the town also recognizes their involvement with the Arnprior Business Improvement Association. Krown Body Maintenance was established in Arnprior in 1992 and owner Barry Baird was born and raised in the Valley.

Pillar 5 Pharma presented with Large Business Award Continued from Page 4 Schnob recalled how Barry and Anne Blier opened the centre in the barn on the Galilee property in 2000. By 2002, they had a waiting list and relocated to their current site on Ewen Street. “They are now one of the few daycares around that offer services right after birth to up to 12 years of age,” Schnob explained. “Pineridge Children’s Centre currently employs 14 full-time staff members and looks after 80 children.” The organization has also raised funds for CHEO, supported the White Pine Festival and more. It is a family business, with the Bliers’ two daughters also involved with providing quality childcare. The Bliers were not in attendance at the business gala as they were at their Florida home, but they sent an email expressing their gratitude for the recognition. “The wonderful thing about working with children is that every day is different,” Barry and Anne wrote, adding their staff help make everything possible. “Pineridge Children’s Centre is blessed to serve such wonderful children and supportive families and enjoys partnerships with many wonderful businesses in town, especially the Chamber of Commerce.” The award was accepted by centre director Cindra Proulx and office administrator Erica LeRiche. “It is truly a privilege to work in this community and with children,” Proulx said. LARGE BUSINESS AWARD

The Large Business Award was presented by Murray Hughes to Pillar 5 Pharma. The pharmaceutical company (formerly known as Pfizer and then Keata Pharma) began operations in Arnprior in 1956 and even though it may have had a different name, Hughes said it was one of the local manufacturing facilities that has contributed to Arnprior’s prosperity and growth. At its peak, the firm employed 220 people. Sold in 2008, the company faced bankruptcy in 2009 and at that time an attempt was made to secure funding by private investors. “It is now Canadian-controlled, privately held company,” Hughes explained. “Throughout the changes, the company worked hard at reestablishing its credibility with suppliers and were able to main-

and board chair Kevin Rampton. “It has been an interesting journey for us since Pfizer left the facility,” Carkner said. “I really appreciate the vision Kevin had and the effort he put into bringing together the investment group.” Carkner also acknowledged the effort of Pillar 5 employees, some of whom were in attendance at the business gala.

McNab-Braeside recognizes contributions of McGregors, Fog Run

Photos by Theresa Fritz

Above, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell, right, presents the township’s Business Appreciation Award to Richard Gill and Cheryl Babineau of Burnstown’s Fog Run Studio and Bittersweet Gallery. Below, she also presents the township’s Agricultural Award to Jim, far left, and Ann, far right, McGregor and their family for their agricultural business, McGregor’s Produce in the Lochwinnoch area.

Continued from Page 5 McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell made two presentations on behalf of her township – the Agriculture Appreciation and the Business Appreciation awards. The agriculture award was given to McGregor’s Produce, a 200-acre working farm off Lochwinnoch Road owned by the McGregor family since 1856. Campbell said she is always “blown away by what a difference families can make with their perseverance and hard work” and this year’s township award winners are no exception. The first McGregors came to the township in the 1830s and have contributed to the community since that time. In 1977 Jim and Ann McGregor returned to the family farm with their young son Ian and in the late 1970s, the business was named McGregor’s Produce. Strawberries and sweet corn became popular at farmers’ markets and at stands. “The enthusiasm and energy of the younger generation … transformed the farming generation,” Campbell noted. In 2012, McGregor’s Produce will have 12 product stands throughout the Ottawa Valley and attend five farmers’ markets. Campbell said the family is also very involved in community service and supports many worthy causes, Hospice Renfrew being a major one. “This family is not just this family. This family is 180 years of agricultural innovation and community service,” Campbell said. In accepting the Agriculture Appreciation Award, Jim McGregor said any success that has been achieved has been the result of family and extended family support, and support by the public at large. “Getting an award like this from our neighbours and friends is a humbling experience when we just go to work daily doing the things we love to do,” McGregor said. “It is you, the people of Arnprior, McNab-

Braeside and Renfrew that have supported our business over the years and allowed to be successful and allowed us to give back to the community. Thank you for this award.” The business award was awarded to Burnstown’s Fog Run Studio and Bittersweet Gallery, run by Richard Gill and Cheryl Babineau respectively. Campbell said Gill moved to the area with his wife and young daughter in 1973 and moved into what was the old Anderson Inn when it had no utilities. After his wife’s death in a car crash eight months later, Gill started teaching ceramics and design and then his own pottery started selling. From there, he started winning a number of awards for his pottery and then his pottery became “less functional and more sculptural.” His relief work adorns many locations from hospital to municipal offices, churches and a military base. “Richard’s work is recognized internationally,” Campbell said, adding that this fall will mark Gill’s 40th anniversary show. Gill and Babineau met in 1998. Babineau, an Arnprior native, left the security of a job with the LCBO to open Bittersweet Gallery in Burnstown. “Cheryl has established herself in the field of the gallery and represents over 50 Canadian artists and craftspeople,” Campbell, adding she was instrumental in the many local events and is involved in many local causes. “I want to thank Mary and council for the award. I chose to live here and it was probably the best decision in my life,” Gill said. “It’s a real community where we live in Burnstown.” For her part, Babineau said she felt like she was in good company with other award recipients. “It really is a nice feeling to be acknowledged by your hometown,” Babineau concluded.

View Retirement Suites, it was to me a dream come true.â€? She said the community opened its heart to her and welcomed her. And so, when ADMH CEO Eric Hanna asked her to chair the mammography campaign, she was interested but not sure she should be doing the job without help. She felt she needed a mentor and she said she found one in former Partners in Caring chair and Pillar 5 Pharma president John Carkner. “I am extremely proud to say to you that I live and work and I contribute back to this society and I go home every night feeling great and I can’t think of a better place to do that,â€? O’Shaughnessy concluded. “I’d like to thank the Chamber for this honour. It means a great deal to me.â€? The ďŹ nal award of the night was the President’s Award presented by GACC president Zillah Briscoe. The recipient this year was the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 174, and Arnprior.

Briscoe said she felt the organization was “very worthyâ€? in receiving the award. The honour goes to “an individual or organization from the community that has played an important role in the community through business and personal contributions and has embraced the Chamber’s vision as the voice of business.â€? Branch 174 was founded in August 1929 and since that time; the Legion has played an important role in the lives of ex-military personnel as well as the community at large. Briscoe said the organization, which currently boasts 430 members, provides ďŹ nancial support to many worthy causes. As well, the Legion supports the Scouts Canada, Cadets, Valley Concert Band, Arnprior Community Policing, Arnprior Humane Society, food bank, White Pine Festival, ADMH, high school bursaries and also runs its own public speaking, essay and poster contests for Remem-

brance Day, and much more. The Legion is also the main organization of Arnprior’s annual Santa Claus Parade. Once a year, the Legion also hosts a breakfast for local businesses. Branch 174 past President Doug Clapham, an Air Force and Peacekeeping veteran, accepted the award on behalf of the Legion. “On behalf of the president, executive and members of Branch 174, this is truly outstanding,� he said. “We don’t seek recognition, but it is really nice.� With the formal part of the evening concluded, Briscoe took the opportunity to recognize former Chamber president Joan Carey for attending the event. Joan, whose late husband, John, ran the local Co-Operators insurance company in Arnprior for many years, drove up with her daughter from Stony Creek to attend the gala. Carey now works for the Co-Operators in Stony Creek. “Arnprior is still home for me,� Carey said, following a round of applause from those in attendance.

Cutting MP pay, pensions could help clean up politics axpayers forked over at least $45,000 to Prime Minster Stephen Harper to enjoy a New York Yankees game and a Broadway show last Labour Day. That stories of a bloated sense of entitlement continue to pile up many years after the Liberal party was shown the door comes as little surprise to many. There’s little difference among parties that have held power in Canada, they lament. Certainly a segment of voters actually believed Harper meant it, some 10 years ago, when he talked about grassroots decision-making and battling corruption in Ottawa. Serious observers say he’s made it

T

worse on all fronts. That Harper would squander tens of thousands of dollars on himself during Labour Day, of all days, sends yet another message to the other side. The 99 per cent might get a day off, but it’ll cost them. True, the symbolic message doesn’t come close to Peter MacKay’s helicopter trip let alone Tony Clement’s alleged misappropriation of $50 million. The list of Conservatives gleefully blowing taxpayers money over the last few years could go on and on. But cutting heads off a blue Lernaean Hydra instead of a red one matters little. The point is both Liberals and

Conservatives have little credibility left on matters of openness, accountability, corruption and other issues. Even their belief in free and fair elections - at least when in comes to the Conservatives - has grown suspect. So, what’s the answer to the downward spiral in Canadian politics? A possible contribution to reversing the decline comes from the right wing Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). They recently considered a small angle of a significant problem. According to figures compiled by CTF, taxpayers contributed $23.30 last year for every dollar put into the parliamentary pension plan by MPs. “How do you explain to someone

scraping for their retirement that Canada can’t afford $508 a month for a 65-year-old, when defeated 60-year-old backbench MP Yasmin Ratansi got $2,758 a month after just seven years on the job,� reads CTF’s January commentary. MPs pensions are too high. MPs salaries are too high. And the numerous related perks are offensive to the average person. There is a fiscal argument for bringing down MPs’ compensation and reinvesting it in social programs. But the morale argument is more important. There is no coincidence between escalating MP compensation packages and the increasing sense

of entitlement and corruption we’ve witnessed over the last couple of decades. It is clear that not everyone in federal politics is unethical. Some can lead the jet-setting lifestyle with its six-figure salary and still put the interests of constituents and the nation ahead of themselves. It is equally clear, though, that the lure of big money attracts the greedy and self-indulgent. To explain away that basic truism with “well, you have to pay top dollar for the best qualified people,� simply doesn’t fly anymore. The current situation and trend proves otherwise.

LETTER

Dog litter, trash show that community pride is lacking To the Editor: Having read in a recent issue (April 5) of the Chronicle-Guide EMC about complaints from our residents regarding dog droppings, I had to comment about the “gift-wrapped� version of droppings. Certain “responsible� residents use poop bags, which they then toss into the trees along streets, walking paths and ravines. These look lovely hanging from tree branches, or rotting into creeks, which feed into the Madawaska River (our drinking water source.) Why are all our beautiful green spaces used as garbage dumps? Aside from bags of droppings, there’s litter, trash, tires, building scraps,

etc. everywhere in town, even next to nice homes in treed areas. And no one gets off their behinds to clean up. The only no dumping signs are found on McLean Avenue. With so many unemployed persons sitting around, don’t you wonder why nobody is out cleaning up? Is this what our people think of their town? No civic pride. Not many tourists either; filthy towns don’t attract many visitors. Andrea Barton Arnprior

Neighbours’ caring actions gave lost dog story a happy ending To the Editor: On the morning of April 11, my family’s beloved border collie mix, Ginny, went missing from our farm. She is 13 years old, almost deaf, and epileptic. To say that we were worried is an understatement. We searched all day, and alerted all our neighbours from Stevenson and Campbell drives, and Carmichael Side Road in McNabBraeside. I am writing to express my gratitude to these neighbours, some who allowed us to tromp through their properties, and others who got in their cars or walked fields to help us search. Based on a late evening tip from a sympathetic woman on McLean Drive, my husband and I headed into the town of Braeside to search at 10:45 p.m., but to no avail. We headed home exhausted, sick with worry, and broken-hearted. I went back into Braeside early the next morning armed with lost dog posters, and stopped at the Stinson’s Gas station. I spoke with Dave behind the counter, and to my complete elation, he told me that a young woman named Kendal had picked Ginny up on the side of the road the previous night.

He gave me directions, and I practically flew to her house. There, I was warmly welcomed and consoled by Kendal. She led me to Ginny, who was sleeping next to her bed. Kendal had cleaned her up from the mud and burrs, and had given her a good supper. I gave Ginny her epilepsy medication, said our heartfelt thank yous and goodbyes, and went home, where Ginny received an overjoyed welcome home from her two furry ‘sisters’. Thank you to my neighbours for their kindness and support (some even called me Thursday for updates), and to Braeside Animal Control who called to check in with me throughout the ordeal. Thank you especially to Kendal, who listened to her heart when it told her this forlorn shaggy brown dog on the side of the road needed help (even when other people told her to leave Ginny as she would find her way home). Without her caring and compassion, the outcome might have been very different. Ginny was missing for 22 hours, but we will remember Kendal’s actions for a very, very long time.

Web Poll POLL RESULTS

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION

Is the Fraser Institute’s ranking of Ontario schools relevant?

What should the National Hockey League do about the outbreak of violence in the Stanley Cup playoffs?

A) Yes. It gives educators, parents and students a valuable resource to determine how their schools rank and how they could be improved. 13%

B) No. The rankings are based on misleading factors and are coloured by the Fraser Institute’s right-wing bias.

D) Ranking schools is ridiculous,

will be a major setback for a sport that has been finally cleaning up its act in the last few years.

B) Enjoy the ride. Hockey is a tough game and most fans love the fisticuffs.

C) Partially. The rankings can be helpful, but only if interpreted prop- 37% erly and in conjunction with many other factors.

0%

especially in rural areas, where a small school population and lack of resources can easily result in unfair results.

C)

Penalize the major offenders, but don’t do anything to deter the passion and energy players put into the game.

D) Who cares. I’d rather watch Coronation Street or enjoy the spring weather than waste time watching hockey in a season that goes on far too long.

A tragic maiden voyage, one century ago, and a family’s loss

and his plans of being a tradesman had to be abandoned. So he and Grandma had settled onto this unyielding plot of land adjacent to the farm of his widowed mother. But to resume the narrative, they were packing up to move bag and baggage to Carleton Place, hoping to give their children better opportunities. Grandpa and my father, Thomas Graham, then 11years-old, stayed behind to gather the sap and boil it down to make syrup, and then followed the rest of the family into town where they had rented a house on William Street. STARTED OUT WELL

At first everything seemed to be falling into place in their new environment. Grandpa found a job in the Bates & Innes mill, and his two oldest sons, Robert and Joseph, employment in Brown’s mill. Little did they know that they were about to suffer their own tragedy. I do not know its exact date, but at the top of the news item clipped from either the Canadian or the Herald is written in my dad’s handwriting ‘June, 1912’. I quote from the account: “Monday afternoon last, Mr. James Graham was called from his work in the Bates and Innes Mill to the bridge over the rapids nearby where a rent had been made by the stump of a great tree as it swept by. With him was Lloyd Smith. They were inserting stop logs.

“Mr. Graham intuitively thought a piece of timber lay behind him and he stepped backward without looking. Instead of substance, it was space, and he fell into the precipice of waters and was carried forward with lightning speed into the rapids. His body was not found for several days. WIDOW WITH MANY KIDS

Grandma found herself a widow with eight children, four below the age of nine and expecting her ninth. Somehow the family with her leadership had to pick up the pieces of their lives and carry on. Fortunately, Bates & Innes had a heart. The firm paid the funeral costs and gave Grandma what would have amounted to a year’s salary. This, coupled with money from the sale of the farm, allowed them to buy a house on William Street. The family hunkered down, pulled together and went on as best they could without Grandpa. It goes without saying that they faced an uphill battle. All the kids, save one, had to drop out of school after Grade 8, find a job and contribute to the family’s support. John, born after his father’s untimely death, he alone went to high school. Later he was to learn to be a printer, apprenticing at the Lanark Era. He spent his life in the newspaper business. From 1949 to 1965 he was part

owner of the Carleton Place Canadian; from 1965 to 1987 he was owner and editor of the Almonte Gazette. My father, Tom Graham, after being always a blue collar worker, went to work in the Graham Shoe Store purchased by his brother Jim. They continued to operate the business until the early ‘70s. Dad enjoyed working in the store. He was good with people and like his father before him preferred a white collar job. Grandma, who managed to raise her family without a partner, eventually remarried. However, her second husband, Jim Smith, whom she had known as a neighbor when living on the farm, only lived a few years. She then resumed her widowhood, surviving to the age of 85. All the family spent most

of their lives in or close to Carleton Place. Even in death they are not divided. They are buried in St. James Cemetery, just out of Carleton Place. Their two unmarried sons, Joseph and James, symbolically, perhaps, lie one on either side of their parents, with their married children close by. There is one exception, John, the youngest, lies beside his wife and oldest daughter in the Pine Grove Cemetery, not much more than a stone’s throw from “old farm” where our story began. And yet, our story continues. Your family survives. Taken from us by the rush of water in a terrible year, when so many shared a similar fate, you are not forgotten. Grandpa, we miss you still.

tic claimed 1,500 lives, twothirds of those aboard. Quickly, for those times, when television did not yet exist and radio was in its infancy, the word of the disaster spread around the world. The Graham family then headed by my grandfather, James A. Graham, would have heard the terrible news, marvelled that such a thing could happen, and agonized over the awful loss of life. That fateful spring found them still on their hard-skrabble 100 acres where he and his faithful wife Anna (born Anna Folkard) had settled in 1894. However, they had decided to give up on trying to make a living, to feed their growing family and provide for their needs on this unforgiving rock pile. Actually, Grandpa never planned on being a farmer. He had apprenticed to learn the tailoring trade. Possibly, this picture taken of him as a young man, dates from this period. He may have made the clothes he wears with apparent pride. Unfortunately the needs of the family dictated otherwise,

And yet a cataclysmic event that shook the confidence of mankind took place in midApril of that year, searing itself into global consciousness. It wasn’t supposed to happen.

The last word in naval engineering and with luxury that would have graced the court of a pharaoh (at least for the first class passengers), it was truly a floating palace. Yet nature found its Achilles heel. In trying to dodge an iceberg going flat out at 21 knots, an unseen spur of ancient ice gutted her below the waterline. The forward “watertight” compartments quickly flooded, sealing her doom. In a little more than two hours, she broke in two and went to the bottom. The cruel, cold waters of the north Atlan-

How animals pump up volume during mating season EMC lifestyle – One of the most identifiable traits of spring is the change in what can be heard. Winter’s contemplative silence has been replaced with vibrant symphonies, some starting up as the dawn breaks and others commencing as the sun slips out of sight. Spring is alive with sound and in order to be heard, animals have a variety of ways of turning up the volume of their calls. Most songbirds, such as the Song Sparrows that can be heard along any wetland or forest edge now, choose a

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way high perch from they broadcast their songs over a wider area.

If you watch one of these streaked sparrows you will see that after it sings it listens carefully. Usually only after its neighbour sings will the Song Sparrow sing back. Studies have shown that neighbouring birds such as Song Sparrows will match the songs of their neighbours. Thus, they both easily recognize each other’s melodies, and as long as they are broadcast from a high perch in the singer’s own territory, all is well. However, if a stranger’s song is heard, then there is an increase in the territorial

bird’s vocal efforts as well as increased vigilance of its territory boundary. While some animals sing high, others sing from down low. Frogs and even toads are now in song in local wetlands. The shrill peeps of Spring Peepers arise just as the sun goes down, while the grinding croaks of Striped Chorus Frogs can be heard through much of the day, as can the loud snores of Leopard Frogs, which rise from cattail marshes. Although some of these singers are extremely tiny, their voices are huge due to

a remarkable amplification system these fascinating animals possess. While Leopard Frogs have two amplifiers, most frogs and toads only have one. The amplification of the sound occurs in a resonating chamber that is a balloon-like swelling on the throat or sides of the neck (as in Leopard Frogs). The singer first gulps air in through its nostrils, keeping its mouth closed all the time. After the lungs are filled, the air is forced through the closed mouth into the vocal sac or sacs, which swell

with air and give the resulting sound its loudness. Although woodpeckers would never qualify as singers, they certainly broadcast their sexual desire and territory ownership in a noisy fashion. They use their bills and rapidly drum out a series of taps, each species producing a distinctive combination of rapidity and rhythm. Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers are now noisily drumming their distinctive series of fast then slow beats in local woods. All woodpeckers select special branches on which to drum. Often dead branches high up in trees provide the ideal situation. The dead wood resonates better, giving the drumroll its needed loudness for wider broadcast. The thunderous drumroll made by a Pileated Woodpecker beating on a solid dead pine branch can be heard from more than a kilometre away. When local animals send out their invitations of love or warnings of territory ownership, the messages are not only clear; they are also loud!

Reeve welcomes major projects to town DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – It could be seen as a vindication of sorts. Two sizable projects in Arnprior, recently announced, with connections to the County of Renfrew will go a long way to put long-standing tensions in the past. During the last session of council, it was common for local politicians to complain that far more tax dollars from town headed to Pembroke than

vice-versa. It was said the “return on investment� was low, and that Arnprior pays more into county coffers than it takes out. Reeve Walter Stack, as the local politician representing Arnprior on county council, was caught in the middle of the feuding sides. During the last election, an opponent ran almost strictly on the theme of taking a harder line at the county table. Not only did Stack win the election, but now he is highlighting that

about $3.5 million in economic activity will take place in town this spring. “There were certainly a couple of people on the last council that did a lot of complaining,� Stack said. AFFORDABLE HOUSING

A $2.2 million affordable housing project will bring about 19 units to town. The idea is that seniors are badly in need of affordable housing.

With government subsidies in place, the private owner can afford to pick who among low income people will be allowed to live in his building. This spring, developer Peter Anas expects to break ground next to his Town Centre property on McGonigal Street. “It’s going to be a nice location there with the tracks gone,� Stack said. A $400,000 project, topping $1

million after upgrades, will take place a few blocks down McGonigal Street at the former Rick’s Catering. The county’s social services branch and Ontario Works will take over the spot likely by this summer. The price was right, Stack explained, and it offers room for expansion – a condition the county wanted. Although not centrally located in the county, he said the caseloads are here to justify the location.

Snack bar at Robert Simpson Park to open for another season Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – The snack bar at Robert Simpson Park isn’t much of a moneymaker, but it appears it will be open for at least the coming summer season. At the April 16 parks and recreation committee meeting, members learned that Cathy Clouthier is handing over the last year of her three-year lease agreement to an employee. Parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur said having the snack bar open is good for tourism, special events and even to keep an eye on vandalism. “It’s been a great resource for us,� Arthur said, but that “the dollars and cents� weren’t there for Clouthier – given the long hours spent in the small building during the best weather of the year.

EMC news – The OPP East Region Crime Unit is warning business and homeowners of metal thefts. Since January 2010, the OPP in eastern Ontario have investigated 227 incidents involving the theft of rolls of copper, wiring and pipes. Suspects have been stealing metal worth hundreds of thousands from larger industrial locations, to small pieces of piping from behind toilets. In 2010, the OPP in East Region investigated 86 thefts of metals, in 2011 141 incidents and so far in 2012, 45 reported thefts. The thefts have occurred from business locations to residential properties and summer cottages. The OPP encourages everyone to take extra precaution in safe guarding materials and buildings. The public can assist by reporting suspicious activity immediately to their nearest police agency. Anyone with information about this or any other crime is asked to call the OPP at 613267-2626, their local police or CrimeStoppers.

FAMILY PARKING SPOTS

Arthur told the committee chaired by Coun. Mark Willmer that the Nick Smith Centre has received a parking-related complaint. He said a woman was ticketed for illegally parking in a handicapped spot. She wanted the town to create “family parking� spots. The committee rejected the idea, saying

most people going to the recreation complex are in families and it would be impossible to tell the difference between cars carrying lone individuals and those carrying families. The row of employee parking spots near the front doors are there as a safety feature for female employees that could work later at night.

Many games will take place in various Valley towns during the day, which is why organizers hope retirees will step forward. All championship games will be held in Arnprior, with Rogers and Cogeco considering live broadcasts. Rogers might provide colour commentary.

BROOMBALL UPDATE

A.J. PLAYGROUND

The call for volunteers to help out during the upcoming World Broomball Championship continues. About seven or eight committees will be organized for the Oct. 29 to Nov. 3 event.

The new play structure and cement pad at A.J. Charbonneau Public School will soon be built. Arthur toured the playground recently to settle on a location. He said the official grand opening is May 8 from 5 to 7 p.m.

Beware metal thieves

The upcoming year should be a good one, Arthur said, with Canada Day, Concerts in the Park, White Pine Festival, and the addition of the town’s 150th anniversary celebration. But he concedes there are only a few weekends of the year to bring in money, and now that the ice cream shack at the corner of Madawaska and John streets is doing well, the snack bar’s profits are taking a hit.

To register yourself or a group of people for the clean-up, please visit or call the Nick Smith Centre at 613-623-7301 or send an e-mail to abarclay@arnprior.ca. Participants wishing to clean-up a certain public area in Town are asked to provide their PITCH-IN Day location at the time of registering. R0011362792

Smoke alarm checks set to begin Arnprior firefighters to go door-to-door in April and May in annual safety campaign EMC news – The annual home smoke alarm inspection program in Arnprior will once again take place in the community, the town’s fire department announced this week. The program will begin around the third week in April and will continue into May and possibly June. Members from the Arnprior Fire Department will be knocking on doors, asking for co-operation in order to inspect and test your home’s smoke alarm. The Arnprior Fire Department Smoke Alarm Inspection Program began in 2006 and has continued annually as a service to the community. The program gives the fire department an opportunity to meet community members and aids in collecting data for statistical purposes, while

focusing on ensuring adequate working smoke alarms in the home and providing public education regarding fire safety. The 2012 program is expected to reach 250 homes in the community. Firefighters will be visiting in the evening hours during the week and daytime hours on the weekend. They will be dressed in Arnprior Fire Department uniforms and be carrying identification. Homeowners are encouraged to be cooperative and invite firefighters into their homes to allow them to inspect and test smoke alarms. Firefighters will be looking for proper quantity, proper placement and working condition of the smoke alarms to ensure they are in compliance with the Ontario Fire Code. Homeowners will be informed of any

A.C.H.C. is Proud to Welcome

violations and asked to correct them. Firefighters will provide assistance to homeowner by providing new batteries or a new smoke alarm (battery-operated) on a cost recovery basis. Any questions the public may have should be directed to the Arnprior Fire Department Fire Prevention Office at 613-623-4231, extension 250, or the fire chief at extension 248. For additional information, visit the Town of Arnprior website at www.arnprior.ca or the Ontario Fire Marshal’s website at www.ofm.gov.on.ca. Every home in Ontario must have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas, emphasizes the fire department. “It’s the law.”

Is 41-pound loss enough for county to win?

R0011363918

EMC news - A collective loss of 41 pounds will be enough to win its second consecutive leadership award in the Slim Till You Win contest with Lanark County. At least that’s the hope of Renfrew County councillors and staff who took part in the second annual event. Weight losses weren’t as big as last year, when the event lasted closer to two months rather than one. But 10 Renfrew County participants completed their official battle with the bulge with a final weigh-in March 29 session. All 10 participants lost some weight, including Horton Mayor Don Eady, Renfrew County CAO Jim Hutton and McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell. “I believe in the program, just that it was too short,” she said. Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon didn’t have his impressive weight loss of 25 pounds from last year, but he led the Ren-

frew County pack with an 8.4pound reduction. “It’s something I have to pay attention to, and this is a good way of keeping me honest and aware of it,” said Emon, whose weight dropped to 230.4 pounds during this year’s event. Warden Bob Sweet had the fourth best weight loss (of 4.2 pounds) despite being south on a recent holiday. Afterwards, he jested there would need to be a judicial inquiry if Renfrew County didn’t win its second straight leadership award. Renfrew County now awaits Lanark County’s weigh-in stats. Last year, Lanark County did win the overall Slim Till You Win contest, when county councillors and staff were added to the several more participants from the population at large. The contest was started after statistics showed that Renfrew and Lanark County residents have the poorest health profiles in Ontario.

Electoral boundaries changes could alter riding STAFF

The first round of input is due by April 30. The review is mandated so ridings can be redrawn to account for movement and growth in the population. Ten independent commissions have been established to propose new electoral boundaries to better reflect population shifts and growth in each of the 10 provinces. As Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon constitute one electoral district each, they don’t require federal electoral boundaries commissions. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario is dedicated to ensuring that the new electoral boundaries are fair to the people of the province. The commission will draft a proposal of the new boundaries while taking into consideration population figures, but

also other factors such as communities of identity or interest, historical patterns and geographical factors. After the commission has drafted its proposal, a new electoral map is published and members of the public are invited to comment and make their own suggestions. Public hearings are held, and everyone is invited to attend and provide input. After the views from the public are considered, the commission will submit a report to the House of Commons, where members of Parliament will provide feedback that will then be reviewed by a parliamentary committee. The Commission will consider the feedback from MPs and decide whether to make any final changes to its report, which is then submitted to the Chief

Electoral Officer of Canada for preparation of a document called a “representation order.” This final step allows the new electoral map of Canada to be officially implemented. The new map will be used at the first general election called at least seven months after the representation order becomes law – likely the 2015 general election.

If you’d like to provide your comments to the members of the Ontario Commission while they are developing their initial proposal, you are invited to contact them by email (ontario@rfed-rcf.ca) or mail by April 30. To learn more about the redistribution of Ontario’s federal electoral districts, visit www.federal-redistribution. ca.

R0011339213/0405

EMC news - Canada’s electoral map is going to change and Ontario is going to get 15 more ridings. That could affect riding boundaries in this area, as there is already a push from Lanark County to have that area become its own riding. That would definitely change the riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills and perhaps Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke as well. As the Canadian and Ontario ridings are the same in Ontario, any federal change would alter provincial ridings too. The public has an important role to play in the review of Canada’s electoral boundaries, which happens every 10 years to coincide with new census data.

St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Arnprior was able to hand over two very generous gifts recently following the school’s Share Lent campaign, which was led by the Grade 5 students. The money was raised through a number of spirit days and special activities and, in the end, $1,000 was shared between two charities: the Arnprior and District Food Bank and the Child Poverty Action Network. Principal Mary-Lise Rowat and CPAN co-ordinator Lynn Smith, above left, join food bank representatives Kathy Tonkin and Paul Glynn and Grade 5 teacher Nancy Brisson, right, for a cheque presentation with the Grade 5 class.

Renowned Canadian classical guitarist and singersongwriter Liona Boyd appears in concert with special guest Michel Savona in Two Voices and Two Guitars on Friday, May 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Calvary Pentecostal Church in Renfrew. The show is sponsored by Bonnechere Bakery and Bistro. Tickets are available at Aikenhead’s Drug Store, the Renfrew Chamber of Commerce office on Raglan Street and at Mill Music.

EMC events – Prior Players are closing in on curtain time for their spring production of Powers and Gloria. The play will open May 4 and 5 with dinner theatre performances, with the meal at 7 p.m. and the curtain rising at 8 p.m. at the Christian Education Centre on John Street. The will continue May 11 and 12 at 8 p.m. for the theatrical production only. Dinner theatre tickets should be purchased by April 27 and will cost $25. Theatre only tickets may be purchased at the door the night of the production and will cost $15.

Tickets are being sold at Arnprior Bulk and Natural Foods at 115 John St. Dave Anthony is pleased with the progress being made by the cast that includes Ashley Styles, Marcel Girard, Alan Rowsom and Rich Peters. “I can report at his time that rehearsal’s are going well,” he said. “There is a fresh young face on the stage this spring. Who is this face? Come out to the CEC in May to find out.” Speaking about the plot of the play by Canadian playwright Keith Roulston, Anthony notes that “being infirmed is hard enough but being infirmed and cared for

by an inexperienced caregiver is another story.” The play tells the tale of a crotchety old man who lives in the past and is hardpressed to accept the new attitudes of present time. “Time passes and the invalid and his caregiver realize an understanding between the two,” Anthony explains. “He inspires her and she makes him proud by taking his advice.” He says the play is a “poignant rendition of friendship and healing … this play will make you think about your own future.”

family find peace again? Secret Selves is the touching and sometimes humorous account of a mother trying to ease the panic and accept the unthinkable twists fate has dropped in her lap. Johnston will be at the Diversity Festival with copies of Secret Selves and encourages the community to get involved. “I am very proud to be part of this festival. I have always felt that it isn’t ‘what’ a person is that matters, it’s ‘who’ a person is - that’s the important thing. If you are a good person, I could care less what religion you are, what your age is, how you identify, or what nationality or ethnicity you are,� says Johnston. “And although being the parent of my two children has pushed my comfort zone to its limits, I feel I’m a better person because of it. “I encourage people to come out to the Diversity Festival, even if it pushes you out of your comfort zone a little! Life is about learning ... and it feels pretty good.� Johnston, who reminds readers that Secret Selves is a great Mother’s Day gift idea, has had several other short pieces about her parenting experiences accepted to upcoming anthologies and has been published in The Globe & Mail, Homemaker’s Magazine, and an anthology published by Central Toronto Youth Services. The Diversity Festival kicks off Friday, July 6, with Dragon’s Breath, a theatrical performance at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church and the festival is Saturday, July 7, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Renfrew’s Low Square. Dragon’s Breath closes the event with another showing 4-6 p.m. Dragon’s Breath premieres June 30 at 7 p.m. in Almonte at the Old Town Hall Auditorium.

Leading up to the Ottawa Valley’s first Diversity Festival July 7 in Renfrew, organizers invite you to meet some of the many diverse individuals who make up our unique and wonderful communities. EMC lifestyle - There’s no handbook provided to a parent when a child is born. And there’s just no telling where the roller coaster of parenting is going to take you. Arnprior parent Jamie Johnson thought that people struggling with a difficult parenting challenge might benefit from reading her memoir, Secret Selves. Johnson, who writes under a pen name to prevent any undue harm - employment-related in particular - to her children, thought there had to be something she could do with her experiences. The only logical thing to do with the stories, says Johnson, was to pick up a pen and put them to paper. The result was Secret Selves: How Their Changes Changed Me (A Mother’s Story). As a mom, there’s no escaping the deeprooted need to keep your children on the right path, says the back cover of Secret Selves. But what if one of your teenage kids thinks the path to happiness is through a sex change? And what if the other, while flailing around, trying to find his way, pops out five alternate personalities?

Packers celebrate incredible season at gala event Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC sports - It was a chance for the Arnprior Junior B Packers and those who support the team so heartily all year to celebrate an incredible season and all those who contributed to the squad’s first Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League Valley Division title in 14 years. The awards banquet was held April 13 at the Arnprior Curling Club and among the evening’s guests were Mayor David Reid and Packers owner Enzo Mastromattei. Head coach Bill Griese thanked the players for their

efforts and their families for their dedication all season. He also expressed his gratitude to assistant coaches Glenn Arthur, Steve Frost, Scott Cowie and Lee Nixon. The hard work of general manager John Hill and Mastromattei’s strong support of the team made a big difference overall, said Griese. Part of the evening’s schedule included presentation of league awards, announced earlier in the season. The Packers’ Hill is this year’s general manager of the year. “As a head coach, when you have an owner and managers like this, it makes life easier,” said Griese. It was an incredible season, he added. In his address, the coach described the scene just after the Packers lost to Metro division champs Gatineau Mustangs. “How do you tell a team that just lost a championship and has their heads between their knees that they’re one of the best teams you’ve ever coached,” said Griese. Mastromattei thanked all the players, their families and the coaches and volunteers. “You did a great job,” he said. “We’ll get ‘em next year.” AWARDS

Valley Pride brings home bronze medal from provincials EMC sports - The Valley Pride bantam girls team had a great weekend in Ottawa, winning the bronze medal at the Ontario Cup U14 Provincial Championships. With victories over Kingston and Nepean and a close fourpoint loss to Niagara Falls in the preliminary round in division 10, the girls advanced to the playoff round. In a tight contest in the semi-finals, the girls lost to eventual gold medal winning Brockville in a back-and-forth game. With the loss, the team was set to play Niagara Falls for a second time for the bronze medal. This time the team was determined the outcome would be different. With a strong start and consistent play throughout the game, the Valley Pride girls opened a big lead and never let Niagara back into the game, winning by 12 points. Coaches Jeff Heath and Joe Lavoie could not have been more proud of the team, and how they came together and grew throughout the season. This past weekend, Ontario Basketball (OBA) and the Eastern Ontario Basketball Association hosted the 2012 U14 Girls Ontario Cup Provincial Championships. The championship tournament featured over 85 of teams in seven of divisions. “We are very proud of all the competitors that took part in the Ontario Cup this past weekend,” said Michael T. Cvitkovic, executive director of Ontario Basketball. “The amount of skill and talent on display is incredible and shows basketball is growing and thriving at the grassroots level in Ontario.” Other area teams that did well included the Goulbourn Hornets, who finished fourth in Division 3; the Nepean Blue Devils AA, who captured the Division 4 gold medal; and the Ottawa South team that finished fourth in Division 5.

AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the By-law by filing with the Clerk of the Corporation of the Town of Arnprior not later than the 9th day of May, 2012 a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the Bylaw and the reasons in support of the objection. Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a zoning by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf. No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeals unless, before the by-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

EMC sports - Arnprior District High School and McNab-Braeside Township host a very special rugby exhibition May 5. Dochart Park is the venue for the event, which will see ADHS host Ottawa’s Ashbury College and a team from Cowichan, B.C. that will be touring the area. The ADHS’ girls rugby team will be defending its Eastern Ontario title this year on May 24, so the exhibition games will be a valuable opportunity to get out on the field and play together with the regular season ending last fall.

AND TAKE NOTICE that an appeal must set out the objection to the By-law, the reasons in support of the objection and be accompanied by the prescribed fee. The prescribed fee is $125.00 and must be made payable to the Minister of Finance. An explanation of the purpose and effect of the By-law, describing the lands to which the By-law applies, is attached. The complete By-law is available for inspection in my office during regular office hours.

EXPLANATORY NOTE This is a comprehensive zoning by-law amendment to the current Zoning By-law 4990-2001, being a by-law that regulates the use of land and the erection, location and use of buildings and structures within the entire Town of Arnprior. This zoning amendment is required to reflect changes made to the Town’s Official Plan during its 5-year review required by the Ontario Planning Act. The Council of a municipality may, under Section 34 of the Planning Act, pass a Zoning Bylaw to govern the use of land. The effect of By-law Number 6080-12 is to update Comprehensive Zoning By-law 4990-2001 by replacing the text of the By-law and related Schedule “A” in their entirety. After the By-law is in force, no land shall be used and no building or structure shall be erected, altered or used in any manner except in conformity with the provisions of the amended By-law. The By-law will not apply to prevent or hinder the continued use of any land, building or structure, if such land, building or structure was lawfully used for such purpose on the day of the passing of the By-law, so long as it continues to be used for that purpose. As the By-law affects all lands within the Town of Arnprior, a Key Map has not been provided. DATED at the Town of Arnprior this 19th day of April, 2012.

NFU makes FIT recommendations for provincial review EMC news – Renfrew County National Farmers Union president Dave Mackay reports the National Farmers Union (NFU) has submitted several recommendations to the Ontario Ministry of Energy’s Feed-In Tariff (FIT) Two-Year Review. These include requests for a stronger focus on energy conservation and equal rates for ground-mount and roof-top mount microFIT units. Although the NFU supports the production of renewable energy as a way to conserve the remaining fossil fuel supply and to minimize the environmental impacts of energy extraction, it

Natural gas price dips in Ontario EMC news – While gasoline prices are on the rise, natural gas prices in Ontario have hit a 15-year low. Prices that were once wishful thinking are now a reality due to an unexpectedly warm

winter, resulting in far lower volumes of natural gas consumption. According to the Ontario Energy Board, natural gas prices are more than four times cheaper than they were six years ago.

would like rural communities to have more control over largescale projects. “As farmers, rural residents and local communities, we must benefit from renewable energy production in our communities and we must have the opportunity to decide whether or not large-scale renewable energy projects are even appropriate for our communities,� said Ann Slater, farmer and Ontario NFU regional co-ordinator. The NFU made the following recommendations in its letter to the FIT Two-Year Review: 1. There must be a stronger focus on energy conservation with financial incentives for conservation initiatives and for farmers and homeowners who choose to live and work off-grid. 2. Tariff rates paid for microFIT projects, which are owned by farmers and home owners, should continue to be higher than rates paid for larger-scale FIT projects. The rate paid for ground-

mount units should be the same as that being paid for roof-top solar PV, so rural and urban citizens are treated equally. 3. Community-owned and controlled projects, such as renewable energy cooperatives, need to be encouraged. 4. MicroFIT’s, community-owned projects and energy co-operatives should have preferential access to the distribution grid. 5. Community consultations must be led by trained, independent facilitators so communities and developers can have open discussions about the pros and cons of the project and seek to find solutions to community concerns. 6. Rural communities, through their municipalities, must have the opportunity to negotiate changes to address community concerns and compensation for costs incurred by the community during development and life of the project, and ultimately to refuse industrial-scale projects erected in their communities.

EMC news – The population of Arnprior could temporarily swell by a thousand this weekend as the Arnprior Duplicate Bridge Club holds its increasingly popular annual Sectional Tournament. Tournament organizer Wayne Daze says the club expects between 900 and 1,100 bridge players to show up for the four-day tournament at the Nick Smith Centre. It begins at 6 p.m. today (Thursday) and continues Friday afternoon and evening and throughout the weekend. Club member Bill Buttle said Daze has done a great job in promoting and publi-

GUEST SOLOIST

A special soloist joining the choir is soprano Maria Bronson. She is a third-year medical student completing a five-week rotation at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital. While residing in Arnprior over this period of time, she has become involved in several community musical groups, as her first love is singing and theatre. Bronson is a very talented orchestral player and has also performed lead roles with the University of Guelph and the University of Western Ontario. The community is lucky to have this young singer involved in local music groups while she pursues her medical studies. The concert is a popular community event and this year space is limited. Be sure to get your tickets early. In order to get a seat, buy your ticket at the Arnprior Book Shop or from any choir member. The Arnprior Community Choir wants to see you ‘on Broadway’ April 27.

cizing the tournament, noting it is almost doubling in participation each year. This year, 140 tables will be set up at the Nick Smith. He noted the tournament provides an economic boost for the town with about 40 hotel rooms having already been booked by players coming from all over the region. One bridge enthusiast is even coming from Vancouver, he said. Buttle said the local merchants have been exceedingly supportive, with about $12,000 in prizes contributed to the tournament. Bridge players are welcome to drop in during the weekend and join the tournament for some games.

Teen faces charges after gun pointed at female EMC news – A local teenager is facing weapon charges after an altercation in McNabBraeside. On April 10 Renfrew OPP report they began to investigate after a report that a teenage male pointed a firearm at a female. The investigation revealed that on March 31, while a group of teens were at a home in McNab-Braeside, an argument began between a male and female. The male entered the home and was seen handling a long gun. The female entered the home and the male pointed the gun at her, say police. The teens then left the home leaving the male behind. The incident was reported to police on April 10 and, as a result, a 16-year-old male was charged with possession of a dangerous weapon and pointing a firearm. He was released from custody on a promise

to appear in youth court in Renfrew on May 28. Renfrew OPP Detective Constable Sean Smith investigated. It was one of 132 calls, including five domestic disputes, responded to by the Renfrew OPP last week.

for a missing elderly male who was suffering from dementia. The man was last seen at his residence on Lanark Road south of Calabogie two weeks prior. Just before the search was to begin, the man’s body was discovered by a relative nearby. Foul play is not suspected.

CANINE SEARCHES FRAUD AWARENESS PRESENTATION

The OPP Canine Unit and Emergency Response Team (ERT) assisted with two searches in Greater Madawaska last weekend. On Friday evening, a nine-year-old boy with autism was reported missing in the woods. Renfrew OPP officers, Canine and ERT members searched for the boy, who was located uninjured at about 9:30 p.m. Local citizens are thanked for their assistance in the search. On Sunday afternoon, the Canine Unit and ERT were again called to assist with the search

The public is invited to attend an OPP-sponsored information meeting on Saturday, April 28 in Renfrew to learn about frauds, scams and door-to-door solicitations. At the 1 p.m. session at the Renfrew Legion, a speaker from the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre will present information, of particular interest to seniors as they are often the targets of these crimes. If you are a family member of a senior or a caregiver, this information is also for you to help protect the victims of these crimes.

Meanwhile, police are warning residents to beware of a common scam making the rounds again locally, known as the grandparent scam. In the typical scenario, a grandparent receives a phone call from a con-artist claiming to be one of his or her grandchildren. The caller goes on to say that they are in some kind of trouble and need money immediately. Typically, they claim being in a car accident, trouble returning from a foreign country or they need bail money. The grandparent is asked not to speak to any family members and to wire the money directly. Do not send them any money, urge police, but check with other family members to confirm if something is wrong. Recently a nervy thief even directed a delivery service to attend the residence and pick up the money. If you are suspicious, call the police.

Valley resident to receive Diamond Jubilee Medal Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

EMC news - Canadian Parents of Murdered Children (CPOMC) and Survivors of Homicide Victims are hosting a free seminar entitled Stop Blaming the Victim in Ottawa next Monday. One of those victims is Renfrew resident Susan Love, whose son from Arnprior was murdered in Nova Scotia in 2007. Love is among CPOMC members organizing the Monday, April 23

seminar, which runs 6 to 9 p.m. at Ottawa City Hall. Love is also among those who will be recognized that night with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, in recognition of their exceptional support of survivors of homicide victims. Yvonne Harvey, a Carleton Place resident and chair of CPOMC, said 14 people will receive the jubilee medal that evening. Harvey, Love and Harvey’s husband Gary Lindfield founded

CPOMC in December 2009. The not-for-profit organization’s major goals are to provide life-long support for homicide victims. And to raise awareness and education in the community for those who work with victims, including frontline workers and the police. Harvey said Love, who serves as the organization’s secretary, has been dedicated and committed to CPOMC’s cause in many respects, including fundraising and education. Due to limited seating, early reg-

istration is recommended for the seminar. To register, visit www.cpomc.ca, email a response to admin@cpomc. ca or call 613-492-1978. The event is being hosted with support from the Department of Justice Canada. Guest speakers will offer candid assessments about the impact “blaming the victim” has on survivors of homicide victims, other victims of crime, and their families. In particular, the speakers will

talk about the impact the media, the criminal justice system and the general public can have in laying such blame. The speakers are Dr. Margaret Hamblin, an Ottawa specialist in post traumatic stress disorder and a mother of a murdered child; Kimothy Walker, an Ottawa journalist and a survivor of child sexual abuse; and Const. Namrata Gill, a survivor of an arranged and abusive marriage, and a member of the Edmonton Police Services.

Gonchar relishes playoff run with Senators By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com This is why Sergei Gonchar came to Ottawa. For the veteran blueliner, it is all about the Stanley Cup playoffs and the opportunity to chase after the most treasured prize in the game. And that opportunity with his current team has finally arrived with the Senators’ current matchup with the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference quarter-finals. “Playoffs is always exciting,” said the 37-yearold native of Chelyabinsk, Russia. “You have a chance to compete for the Stanley Cup, which is probably the highest prize in the world. Playing in the best league, you have a chance to compete for it and it’s special. We’re going to have all (our) fans behind us, so it’s going to be something.” It is the “something” that Gonchar had in mind when he signed a three-year contract with the Senators as a free agent two summers ago. In the spring of 2010, his Pittsburgh Penguins survived a hard-fought Defenceman Sergei Gonchar, a veteran of three Stanley Cup finals and a champion in opening-round series 2009, welcomes his first opportunity to skate in the Stanley Cup playoffs with the Ottawa against the Senators — it Senators (Photo by Eliot J. Schechter/NHLI via Getty Images). went six games, including a triple-overtime win by pieces short of being a true Ottawa in Game 5 — and Stanley Cup contender. But Gonchar hardly Gonchar saw an opponent He felt he could be one of imagined the free fall the he believed was just a few those pieces. Senators would undergo

last season. Their playoffs hopes were dead by January and within the next month, half a dozen veterans were unloaded, signalling the start of a rebuild for the future. The Stanley Cup playoffs seemed to be little more than a pipe dream this season. No wonder, then, that Gonchar talks with such enthusiasm about getting his 12th chance to chase hockey’s Holy Grail. He’s played in three Cup finals, winning it all with the Penguins in 2009. And while facing the Eastern Conference’s top seed is daunting — with 109 points, the Blueshirts were 17 better than the eighth-place Senators in the standings — the opportunity is still there to weave some post-season magic. “It’s a huge difference,” Gonchar said of the Senators’ surprising rebound season. “Last year, I signed (in Ottawa) and I didn’t expect to have what we had. But the good thing is, it’s behind us and now I’m looking forward to the playoffs. We’ve been much better this year and I’m looking forward to the playoffs and I’m hoping it’s going to be even better there.”

carrying little in the way of expectations — most pre-season predictions had them finishing at or near the bottom of the conference — Gonchar said the team didn’t see it that way.

While entered

“(MacLean) is a big part of it,” said Gonchar. “He changed the system, he changed the attitude in the locker room, so I think he’s a really big part of it. If you look at it, he had been with an organization (the Detroit Red Wings, as an assistant coach) that has been successful. It was an organization that had won a few times with him (there).

UPCOMING SENATORS GAMES

NEW YORK RANGERS Monday, April 23, Time TBD, CBC Playoff excitement is back at Scotiabank Place for the first time in two years, with the Senators facing off against the New York Rangers in a bestof-seven Eastern Conference quarter-final series. It’s the first time the two teams have ever met in the Stanley Cup playoffs in modern franchise history. The leaders: Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson is the greatest player in modern franchise history and the team’s unquestioned leader, while Ryan Callahan’s hardnosed style makes him a gritty captain for the Blueshirts. Up front: Keep your eyes on the Blueshirts’ Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards, a former Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP. With 84 points, the Senators’ Jason

Spezza ranked fourth in league scoring, while Milan Michalek notched a career-best 35 goals. On the blue line: It’s the unstoppable force vs. the immovable object, as the Senators’ Erik Karlsson, who topped all NHL defencemen with 78 points this season, tries to navigate the wall put up by Dan Girardi, one of the league’s most effective shot blockers. In the crease: Look for a duel between two top-flight netminders. The Rangers’ Henrik Lundqvist is a prime candidate to win the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender, while Craig Anderson’s stellar play between the pipes was a big reason the Senators landed a playoff spot. Captain Ryan Callahan provides a gritty brand of leadership for the New York Rangers. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/NHLI via Getty Images).

“When you’re playing in the NHL, you have 20 guys that make each other pretty competitive,” he said. “We all want to prove something. When you have a season like we had last year, you want to come back and you want to be better. You want to prove it, not only to the people on the outside, but to yourselves as a group, that we can be better.” When Senators head coach Paul MacLean talks about the veteran core he relied so heavily upon in building this team, he includes Gonchar among that group. He’s been a willing mentor to such young blueliners as Erik Karlsson and Jared Cowen, while contributing 37 points (5-32) to the Ottawa attack. But Gonchar, in turn, is quick to credit the man behind the bench with being perhaps the biggest reason why the Senators find themselves where they are today.

“Having that experience and being there gives you the ability to change things. You know what you need to do, you know how it’s supposed to be done and I think he’s done it. He’s a very big part of (our success).” R0011356539_0419

Turning 100 years old can cause eyebrows to go up, eyes to widen and jaws to drop in amazement at the accomplishment…. On April 6th, 2012, Helen Margery (Osborne) Cox turned 100 years old.

Wedding Anniversary April 26th

Roland and Colleen Schnob Love your Family

Happy

She’s a real live wire who thinks nothing of saying exactly what is on her mind and has dedicated her life to taking care of others in a life of service stemming from her faith. Through all of this, Helen has one quality that has been her constant, life-long companion. Resilience. Helen does not give up. She does not plan to go gently into that good night. And that is something that is definitely worth celebrating. Helen’s family and friends will do that very thing; celebrate her 100th birthday on Saturday, April 21st at the Christian Education Centre in Arnprior, Ontario.

Born in 1912, Helen has survived two World Wars, the Great Depression, several personal encounters with cancer, witnessed the invention of an overwhelming number of modern technologies, experienced the passing of her husband, her sister, her two brothers, her parents and all of her peers. This spirited woman was married for 40 years, raised three children, has 9 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren and still occasionally remembers some of their names. Even more amazing, is that she has also lived through countless years of inserting her fork into her toaster, while it was still plugged in.

IN MEMORIAM ARMSTRONG, Wally April 22, 2004 In loving memory of my husband and best friend Wally. If we listen really close, In the silence of the night, We hear your voice comfort us, And say that you’re alright, But it’s often hard to understand, Why certain things must be, And the reasons why they happen, Are so often hard to see, But we find comfort in knowledge, That God is always there. To keep the one we loved so much, Forever in his care.

In a tiny country graveyard where gentle breezes blow, Lies my Mom I love so dearly, who I lost twelve years ago. Her resting place I visit, I put flowers there with care. But no one knows the heartache, As I turn and leave her there. My thoughts are always with you, Your place no one can fill, In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still, If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven, and bring you back again. Life must go on, I know that much is true, But it’s not the same since the day I lost you. Always loved, Sadly missed, But never forgotten. Brenda

A daily thought A silent tear A secret wish You were still here. We miss you and love you, Peggy, Margaret Ann, John, Jordan and Ryan and dear friend Aileen

ELLIS In memory of Shirley, Harvey, Julie and Lynn. Beautiful memories are wonderful things, They last til the longest day. They never wear out, They never get lost, And can never be given away. To some you may be forgotten, To others a part of the past, But to us who loved and lost you, Your memory will always last.

Calamity ensues on the spring dance floor EMC lifestyle - “Spring has sprung,” Everett said for the umpteenth time. There was no doubt about it, the snow was gone, the trees were showing their early buds, the Robins were back, and all of Northcote was anticipating the first social event of the season. It was time to put down the flooring behind the United Church for the first outdoor dance. This was made up of big slabs of boards put together, sitting on blocks of wood to make it solid. It would comfortably hold two square dance couples, or three if they were careful.

Sap buckets had been put away, the Model T taken off its blocks in the drive shed, and the days were getting hot and longer, with the early evenings just right for the first outdoor party. The farmers were yet to get on the land, and when that happened, there wouldn’t be much time left for such frivolity as a neighbourhood dance. They would go out at sunrise, and their days wouldn’t end until the daylight had faded. These party evenings said winter was over, and summer was just around the corner.

My View From Island View

Difficult People So I was giving some thought to difficult people. A few weeks ago one of my friends was expressing to me her difficulty in dealing with a particular person. My unsolicited advice to this friend was that they better figure out how to deal with this person because if they did not, this difficult person would keep showing up in their life. They may show up in a different gender with a different face for years and years until they figured out how to handle this type of person. A few days after this unsolicited advice was given, I had my own difficult person come back into my life! But the funny thing is I said to myself this person is not difficult, this person is evil. So there for the rules do not apply. Is it not true in life that if we don’t figure out how to work with difficult people, they just keep showing up in our lives until we do? I have had to cope with some pretty tough situations, but who hasn’t. They range from a psychopathic boss to people who are just down right thorny. No matter where you turn they will always be problematic people in your life.

It got me to thinking, I wonder if I am a difficult person. I am prompt and straight forward and most of the time feel that the only way to get something done is to do it my way. I was asking one of my very good friends if she thought I was difficult. She replied that sometimes I was too prompt and I may be a tad too straight forward and that some times there is more then one way to skin a cat. So I guess in my own way I too, can be a difficult person. I wanted to find out from some of the residents at Island View how they have dealt with some of the difficult people in their lives. Here is what they had to say. One lady suggested that the way she copes with a difficult person is to make sure they know that they have been heard. She makes sure she gives them lots of eye contact and a smiling face to look at. Sometimes a diversion helps and works wonders to keep that difficult person under control. Others concluded that the best way to deal with a

complicated person it to try and turn their negative comments into positive ones. This can involve agreeing with some part of the negative comment but then somehow finding a positive spin to throw back at them. Still others thought that the most productive way to deal with difficult people was to make a conscious effort to choose your battles carefully. Not every person and situation needs to be addressed. Sometime choosing to NOT do anything can often times be the best way to deal with this person.

BY MARY COOK grabbed the shirts of the couple next in line, who in turn, grabbed hold of the couple beside them, and so it went until all eight of them were piled in a heap on the ground. They went down like a row of dominos, one on top of the other. The most amazing thing to me was that the music went on as if nothing at all had happened. The other couples moved into the freedup space, and they finished the set to thunderous applause. My sister Audrey was not one of the dancers to go sailing off the floor, for which I was very grateful. But Emerson and Cecil got into such a laughing fit I thought they were going to be sick. Emerson, when he finally got control of himself, said he could see Big Clara’s flower-bag bloomers when she went rolling off the dance floor, which earned him a swift box on the ears from Mother. It was the first dance of the season, but it wouldn’t be the last. But from then on, the caller announced before he started the dance, that there was only room for two sets at a time. Since there would be no more calamities from an overcrowded floor, Emerson and Cecil had to find their amusement somewhere else. Like the time they put a frog in the lemonade jug at the church picnic. But that’s another story.

The music had already started when we drove into the church yard. There was Uncle Alec with his fiddle, two neighbours were strumming their guitars, and the long table at the back of the church was already loaded with 11-quart baskets of sandwiches and pans of slab cake. Aunt Bertha said she hoped there would be enough food, because it looked like everyone in the entire Northcote area had showed up. Since the ground was still soft, chairs weren’t brought out of the church, but planks had been placed on blocks all around the make-shift dance floor, and they were filling up quickly. Mother ordered us five kids to sit and behave ourselves. “No rippin’ around the yard,” she ordered. Lanterns hung on posts around the makeshift dance floor, to be lit when it got too dark for the fiddlers. We barely got seated when someone designated himself ‘Caller’, and jumped up on the plank bench closest to the floor and called out “Partners for a square.” Well, such confusion! There was a mad dash for the floor, young blades grabbing the hands of any girl within spittin’ distance, and that included my sister Audrey. It looked to me like everyone, but the youngest of us, my three brothers, Cecil, Two Mile and Three Mile Herman were heading for the dance floor! The caller had to order one set off, which still left three sets vying for the small space. There was much hand-clapping, and foot-stomping, and finally the caller and the music got together and the dancing began. Well, all went well until just after the first do-se-do. Each couple began the swing and they were going so fast, you could hardly see their feet moving. And that’s when, as Cecil said later, “all hell broke loose.” One couple lost their footing, and went reeling off the dance floor, but not before they both

Under cooked fiddleheads can be dangerous: Health Canada EMC lifestyle - Health Canada is reminding Canadians of the importance of properly cooking fresh ďŹ ddleheads before eating them. Fiddleheads are the curled, edible shoots of the ostrich fern. They are collected along the banks of rivers and streams and sold as a seasonal vegetable at farmer’s markets, roadside stands and in some grocery stores. There have been cases of temporary illness in Canada and the U.S. associated with eating raw or undercooked ďŹ ddleheads. Studies to date have not determined the cause of these illnesses. Fiddleheads should never be eaten raw. Prior to cooking, Health Canada recommends removing as much of the brown husk as possible from the ďŹ ddleheads. Fresh ďŹ ddleheads should then be washed in several changes of clean cold water. Cook them in boiling water for 15 minutes

or steam them for 10 to 12 minutes. The water used for boiling or steaming ďŹ ddleheads should be discarded. Fiddleheads should also be boiled or steamed prior to sautĂŠing, frying or baking. Due to their short growing season, many people freeze ďŹ ddleheads. Be sure to use the same cooking methods outlined above when preparing ďŹ ddleheads that have been frozen. Preserving ďŹ ddleheads with a pressure canner is not recommended, as safe process times have not been established for home-preserved ďŹ ddleheads. Symptoms of illness usually begin 30 minutes to 12 hours after eating raw or undercooked ďŹ ddleheads and may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and headaches. Illness generally lasts less than 24 hours but can result in dehydration, particularly among the elderly and in infants.

CURVES FOR FOOD BANK

Photo submitted by Curves

The Arnprior Curves Fitness Centre held its ninth annual food bank drive over the last month. An impressive total of 1,315 pounds of food and $75 was collected. Curves owner Linda Davies and some Curves members were on hand to help Arnprior Food Bank volunteers load the food onto a pickup truck last week.

Lemon and tarragon pair well in this easy chicken dish EMC lifestyle - If you’re looking for a simple yet different way to prepare chicken, this recipe will do the job. A combination of bread crumbs, lemon juice, parsley and tarragon give this chicken lots of avor while keeping it very moist during cooking. You can make your own bread crumbs, or use Panko, which is a Japanese-style bread crumb. Sold in boxes in most supermarkets, these are a dry, medium-coarse crumb, which gives food a crisp coating when cooked. When you shop for this recipe, look for thinner chicken breasts rather than thick ones. They’ll cook more quickly, and the crumb coating is less likely to get overly-browned.

Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW LEMON TARRAGON CHICKEN

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp water 2 tsp. olive oil or vegetable oil 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs 3 tbsp. dried parsley, or 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 tsp. dried tarragon 1 tsp. ďŹ nely grated fresh lemon peel 2 tbsp. oil for cooking In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine the lemon juice, water and 2 tsp. of olive or vegetable oil. In a large dinner plate or pie plate, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, tarragon and grated lemon peel. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, and add the 2 tbsp. of cooking

oil. Dip both sides of each chicken breast ďŹ rst in the lemon juice mixture, then in the crumb mixture. Press the crumbs on to the chicken so that they stick. Place the chicken pieces in the heated pan, and cook on medium-high for 2-3 minutes per side until they just start to brown. Turn the heat to low, and cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes, turning it occasionally. When the chicken is done, it will read 165F on a meat thermometer, and the juices will run clear when the tip of a sharp knife is poked into the thickest part of each piece. Serves 4.

EMC events – Those still hoping to attend one of the biggest social events of the spring season are in luck. Tickets are still available for the Carp Agricultural Society’s annual Ladies Night set for tonight (April 19) at the W. Erskine Johnston Arena in Carp. The event is being organized by 2012 Home craft president Heather Johnston and an army of volunteers. “We still have tables left,” said agricultural society general manager Joyce Trafford. “Tickets are $40.” Acting as emcee this year will be Pakenham-area resident and CTV Ottawa news at noon host Leanne Cusak. Trafford noted the charity of choice this year to receives some funds from the event is the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). “A.J.’s Catering from Metcalfe is doing the meal,” Trafford said. The catering company prides itself on getting all 800 women who traditionally attend the event fed within 15 minutes. Trafford said entertainment will be provided by impersonator James Kirkham as well as a disc jockey. As is the tradition, male agricultural society directors and past presidents will be manning the bar during the evening. One returning favourite from last year’s Ladies Night will be the live purse auction, featuring purses from Coach, Guess and more. There will also be a number of vendors on the floor of the

arena as well as a raffle. “Any bar tips received during the night will go to the Erin Vance Memorial Fund,” said Trafford, referring the fund set up to assist the five-year-old twins left motherless when Dunrobin resident Erin Vance was killed in a hit and run in Constance Bay March 18. The same fundraising took place during the agricultural society’s annual Men’s Night April 5 and Trafford said more than $6,000 was raised for the fund that evening. Like Men’s Night, Ladies Night is an event that has been going for many years. This year marks the 11th year the event is being held in W. Erksine Johnston Arena. Ladies Night began in a fashion show in the agricultural society hall and just grew from there. In 2001, then Homecraft presidents Linda Downey moved the event to the arena. To get tickets to this year’s Ladies Night, contact the Carp Fair office at 613-839-2172. Doors for the event open at 6 p.m. with dinner being served at 7 p.m. VANCE BENEFIT

A benefit in memory of Erin Vance is planned for this Saturday, April 21 at the W. Erskine Johnston Arena in Carp to raise funds for Vance’s boys, Caleb and Liam. Funds raised at the 8 p.m. event will go directly to the Erin Vance Memorial Fund.

Country star Aaron Pritchett to headline Valley show 0419.R0011363923

EMC events - Country music fans in the entire Upper Ottawa Valley are in for a treat later this month when the ‘Country Rocks Renfrew Dance and Concert’ takes centre stage at AFAC Wing in Renfrew. The Friday, April 20 event will feature Canadian country music star Aaron Pritchett. His concert will be preceded by an opening party and dance with the popular Ottawa country-rock band Roadhouse. The four-member group bill themselves as “the greatest party band ever.” Tickets for the Renfrew event are available through ticketscene.ca or by telephoning 613-401-0856.

the Wing will open at 7 p.m. Morgan Adams of Northern Star says the Renfrew show is in keeping with his policy of putting Canadian entertainers first. “I try to stick with Canadian talent. I am very big on promoting the Canadian music scene,” Adams underlines. Pritchett, a 41-year-old native of Terrace, B.C. is well known on both sides of the 49th Parallel. The hard-working, much-sought-after entertainer has toured with some of the greats in the business including Alan Jackson, Toby Keith and Brooks and Dunn. He has also recorded numerous top hits and music videos and has earned many accolades and awards during a career that

stretches back to 1996. In 2007 Pritchett won Canadian County Music Association (CCMA) awards for Independent Male Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year for his popular “anthem” Hold My Beer. “His passion and intensity on stage, coupled with his unwavering dedication to fans sets him apart from other acts and has helped solidify his success,” Pritchett’s website stresses. His fifth album, ‘In the Driver’s Seat’, was released in the fall of 2010. It is described as having “more serious themes.” Included are such compositions as ‘Coming Clean’ and ‘She’s Goin’ Somewhere’, which concert-goers in Renfrew are sure to enjoy.

OUT FOR BLOOD

Photo by Derek Dunn

Registered nurse Sharleen Blois said Arnprior has a “good donor base� for Canadian Blood Services. On April 16, during a half-clinic, she hoped to collect 72 units. There was a follow-up clinic April 18 at the Nick Smith Centre, sponsored by Arnprior Rotary. The next clinic, June 20 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. and 5 to 8:30 p.m., will be a regular visit aiming for between 100 and 120 units. Qualified donors can give one unit, typically doing so every two months when clinics are held.

Alternative clinic expands services, seminars starting this weekend it takes the individual time to understand the broad spectrum of our treatment,� she said. “I am addressing the issue(s) –whether physical or emotional from a variety of angles. ‘Everything is multi-layered and interwoven, just as our capillary system or synapses throughout our body. Our bodies are a highly dynamic and intricate system. Everything matters! “Contrary to many people’s belief, everything has an impact on our happiness and health,� she maintained. “I see this every day in my clinic.� Mueller-Code explains that if living human beings with feelings and sensations are not in harmony and equilibrium, “the body actually will work on that for us by altering whatever needs to be altered to get back into this balancing harmony. Inner harmony is the answer to happiness and enjoying a purposeful life.� Unfortunately, today there are often too many struggles to find this harmony. “The expression of illness and medical conditions are just one side to show that we are in some kind of dis-harmony,� she said. Fortunately, many struggle but without the appearance of any medical conditions. Mueller-Code aspires to coach groups through the maze of natural laws and teach people the secrets how to reconnect with their balancing inner harmony. “How do we know that we know? is the question,� she said.

Manuela Mueller-Code “How do I know what to do and what is right or wrong for me and my own life’s path?� She says it is a shame to witness many people influenced by external judgment or surrender to a co-dependency of some sort. Many have lost

the ability to connect with their own inner wisdom, she maintains. �That’s why I have created this new series of Creation & Freedom Seminars to be held over the next few weeks here in Arnprior. The focus is to reconnect people to their true knowing, and when I say knowing, I don’t just mean intellectual knowledge, but rather deep truth residing in our wisdom and core. “Everyone can retrieve this knowledge with the tools I am providing and start living the life they have always dreamed of. Actually natural laws and principles will be the main guide to teach us ‘how do we know that we know’. Yes, it is a little bit of work and not a magic pill, but it’s all worth it at the end,� she says. “How do you like to feel living a life in harmony, peace

Now she’s branching out into giving seminars on the topics, starting in Arnprior this weekend. “We are living in a fast pace environment resulting in extreme stresses,� she said. “Many people struggle with something in their lives these days and all these stresses ultimately affect our individual health and well-being. “We see a lot of financial struggles, marriages falling apart, people are not happy in their jobs and many are lost in their parental responsibility as their children de-rail.� Mueller-Code added. “This creates not only challenges for the individual but for our society as a whole.� She points out that people who come and seek out the services of her Hahnemann Centre for Heilkunst are usually already suffering in one way or another.

Find out what the Spikes volleyball craze is all about Kayla Menkhorst, Don Gougeon Youth Corner

EMC lifestyle – “Spikes is the latest craze from Ontario Volleyball. “The program has been successfully launched across the province as an exciting combination of developmental and house league structures. Spikes is focused on providing a supportive, non-competitive environment, where learning volleyball skills is a whole lot of fun. “Youth who participate in Spikes will learn the basics of volleyball: forearm and overhead passing, attacking, serving and basic team movement. “Depending on age, game play is modified to ensure that every athlete is involved with each play, ensuring maximum learning. “Also, the game environment is modified to increase early success, improving the enjoyability and fun factor for all involved. “In addition to the technical elements of the game, youth are immersed in the other side of our team-based sport: clear communication, being supportive of teammates and good sportsmanship. By spending time encouraging these elements through the drills and activities, it is our hope that Spikes will foster youth who are not only passionate about the game, but recognize the value of being a respectful and supportive teammate, as well.” (OVA website). Our Spikes program in Arnprior is open to youth in Grades 4-6. We focus on this age group to give them the skills they need to play volleyball in a school or club setting. Our head coach is Tori Arsenault, a volleyball player and great teacher, and our assistant coach is our staff member, Shay Klimpel.

With a handful of avid high school volunteers, this group will guarantee fun and skill development to both boys and girls. If you play volleyball in high school and are looking to participate in the program as a volunteer, then please contact Kayla prior to April 24. Registration space is limited (we currently only have three spots available), so come to Nick Smith Centre to register today (cut-off, if not full is April 24). The program runs from May 1 until June 19 on Tuesdays at Walter Zadow School from 6:30-7:30 p.m. and the cost for the eight-week program is $80. This includes a cool spikes t-shirt, and membership into the Ontario Volleyball Association. Don’t wait! Ball hockey has begun (sorry, no late registrations), Fencing has started (we cannot accept any more for this program), and our spring dance has ended (thank you to our volunteers). We do have some training courses coming up though. This includes our Hunting Course for all ages April 27-29 (10 spots left), Babysitters Course on the May 4 PA Day (5 spots left), and our Grades 8-12 First Aid and CPR Course on the May 4 PA Day (10 spots left).

Present at the annual general meeting of the Arnprior and District Humane Society are, from left, Jennifer Smith, Ester Headrick, Robert Klodt, Keith Gardner, Brenda Ambrose, Gail Mifflin and Heather Seeler. At the annual general meeting it was learned that of the 238 cats, 160 were adopted and six claimed. Of the 85 dogs, 46 were adopted and 28 claimed.

No-kill shelter society seeks more members Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Membership of the Arnprior and District Humane Society dipped last year after a huge jump the year before, prompting leaders of the no-kill facility to encourage more public participation. It was a big year for new members of the Arnprior and District Humane Society in 2011. At the April 16 annual general meeting, held at the Arnprior library, it was revealed that of the 81 members of the society operating the no-kill facility, 25 were new. “We are all so happy to express our deepest thanks and appreciation to everyone who supports our shelter with your time, your money, pet food, cleaning supplies and in so many other ways,� Ester Headrick said in the annual president’s message. “Without each and every one of you, we would be hard pressed to keep our shelter going.� Although membership has dropped since that time, Chris McLaughlin in the membership report said, “we trust our current members will renew their memberships this year.�

Drainage improvements to the dogs’ area was tops among last year’s issues recapped for the crowd of 12 people at the meeting. Thanks to a bequest, dogs should no longer be muddy in a mosquito-breeding pond. Another positive is the partnership with Pet Valu. The cat adoption program has seen 30 cats find homes in less than two years. On the downside, two outbreaks of Giardia – a small intestine infection - spread through the cat population. All cats were medicated twice. Bob Klodt presented the treasurer’s report, noting the organization ended 2011 in the black. The animal count jumped to 323, over 80 more than the previous year, and a previous five years of ever lower numbers. Of the 238 cats, 160 were adopted and six claimed. Of the 85 dogs, 46 were adopted and 28 claimed. Details on the foster home program were unavailable. Fundraising brought in $31,000, up $3,000 over 2010. Another $78,000 was given by other societies in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. Bequests totalled $25,000. Utility costs are up to $13,000, vet charges

are at $40,000 (a $10,000 increase over 2010). Adoption fees – cash only – are $160 for cats and $250 for dogs.

Included are taxes, most spaying or neutering costs, first vaccines, microchipping and deworming.

Among the 20 dogs receiving an identification microchip at the Arnprior and District’s annual Microchip Clinic Sunday at the shelter was Yogi. Veterinarian Dr. Don Caldwell volunteered his time once again at the clinic. Above, as Humane Society vice-president Gail Mifflen holds Yogi, Dr. Caldwell shows the dog’s owner, Bonita Lucas, the reading of his new microchip identification number. The microchip is a painless way to ensure a lost or stolen animal has an excellent chance of being recovered by his owner if lost or stolen. Proceeds from the clinic will go toward providing microchips for animals that come to the Arnprior shelter.

Truck kills dog along River Road Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Residents along River Road were deeply upset that a driver didn’t stop after hitting a dog along the stretch between Braeside and Arnprior. Kevin Michaud said the dog, whose owner lives at 33 River Road but was too upset to talk to the newspaper, was killed at about 9:30 a.m. on Friday, April 13. Five-year-old Hugo, a Chihuahua, ran from the porch to the road where a woman who walks her each morning was passing by. That’s when, according to Michaud, a whitegrey half ton work truck with lettering on the side, came down the road from the village direction. “Boom, he hit the dog and kept on going,� he said. The incident raises the question of whether or not a driver can face hit-and-run charges in the case of a domestic animal. Arnprior OPP Const. Tamara Dube said it

would be the “courtesy� thing to do for the driver to at least stop. That’s if the driver knew what happened. However, if there was damage to the vehicle, the driver would be obliged to report the accident to police. To not do so would be against the law, she noted. ANIMAL OWNER AT FAULT?

Dube said if anyone is in the wrong, it very well could be the dog owner. The animal should have been tied up and not allowed to run at large. In other cases involving horses, cows or other large animals – when the safety of drivers is at risk – charges may apply if the animals end up wandering the roads. That bit of information is cold comfort to pet owners. “And I’m an animal lover,� Dube said. “The tendency is more liability on the animal owner in these situations.�
