Old-fashioned fun promised Party time: Arnprior gears up for major 150th bash

Hundreds of people came out again this year for what has become known as one of the most underrated fun events/ fundraisers in town. Wayne Daze is a big reason for the success. – Page 6

Ducks Unlimited CEO Jamie Fortune, of Winnipeg, was among the many special guests at the Arnprior chapter’s first fundraising banquet in four years. – Page 14

Arnprior, are you ready for an old-fashioned good time? The upcoming festivities planned to celebrate the town’s 150th birthday this June will offer that and so much more, says Arnprior Coun. Lynn Grinstead, chair of the 150th committee. Organizers are busily preparing for a host of weekend activities and are looking for more volunteers and support for the early summer festival. “We are still looking for volunteers,” said Grinstead. “We need people to dress in period costume, and if that’s not your cup of tea, there are other opportunities available.” The committee and the community are behind the anniversary event 100 per cent, says Grinstead. “I’ve been so fortunate to have such a passionate team,” said Grinstead. “And with all of the service groups and others that have come

forward everything is coming together great. We couldn’t do it without them.” Social media has played a huge role in getting the word out about events. A Facebook page and other online information is drumming up support around the Valley and beyond. “There have been several people who have said ‘I haven’t been back to Arnprior in years and this seems like a great opportunity to go,’” said Grinstead WEEKEND EXCITEMENT

The June 8-10 weekend will open with a community event designed to get families out together. “On Friday night, we’re going to have an outdoor family movie night at the park,” said Grinstead. The movie Real Steel is suitable for all ages and organizers hope families come out to enjoy the event and kick off the festival. See LUMBERJACK Page 2

EMC news – Corporate memory is drying up fast at Arnprior town hall. First it was the loss of a chief administrative officer (CAO) with a decade of experience. Now it’s the revelation that the second most important bureaucrat, treasurer and acting CAO David Pollard, who’s been at the town for more than 20 years, plans to retire before the end of this year. The hiring process for both

was decided upon at the April 23 council meeting. All at the table agreed the recent process to hire a new CAO conducted by the County of Renfrew was handled properly. Trouble is, the chosen candidate backed out of the position for personal reasons on the very day he was due to begin. Council, which struggled through budget season without a senior manager, is aware the pressure is on to fill the spot and free up the backlog of work. However, a problem with

having the county do the recruitment again, according to Mayor David Reid, is that of the 25 candidates it compiled, only one was worthy of the job. “I’m really nervous. We need to look at candidates already employed and working,” Reid said. “I’ve no issue with the county.” He suggested hiring an experienced headhunter, Odgers Berndtson, at a cost of $50,000 for both searches.

EMC news – A former Arnprior priest faces more sex-related charges, this time for alleged crimes against at least one victim from town. Daniel Miller, 67, faces six more charges in relation to three additional victims in the Arnprior, Deep River, and Eganville areas, OPP announced on April 20. The alleged incidents occurred between 1969 and 1978. Miller already faces charges announced Feb. 29 for alleged incidents that occurred against then preteenage boys and an adult male. The time period then was between 1970 and 1980. He now faces 12 charges in relation to six victims, six counts of indecent assault and six counts of gross indecency. Miller was released from custody on a promise to appear in the Renfrew Court on May 9. See THREE Page 3

Town, union stave off work disruption

Three area priests have faced charges

Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Miller was parish priest at Saint John Chrysostom from 1976 to 1996. Two other Pembroke Diocese priests in recent years were found guilty of sexual assault against children. Bernard Prince faced 14 charges of buggery, indecent assault and gross indecency. Prince lived in a number of Ottawa Valley communities, including Arnprior. He was sentenced to four years in jail in 2008.

reasonable and respects the value of work to the community by the employees, while also being responsible to the ratepayers. However, threats of lock outs and strikes dominated the past couple of weeks as both sides struggled to get their message across to the public. “We are very pleased to have reached this agreement without any disruption to the town’s programs and services,” Reid said in a press release. The contract expires on April 30, 2013.

Continued from front

Robert Borne of Pembroke recently received a nine-month sentence that included five months of house arrest and will be followed by two years of probation, after being found guilty of one count of indecent assault. Anyone with information about the Miller investigation is asked to contact the Renfrew County OPP Crime Unit at 613-432-3211 or 1888-310-1122. Current Saint John Chrysostom priest Father John Burchat could not be reached for comment.

EMC news – It’s official. Labour peace at the Town of Arnprior is restored. After almost three years of negotiations, and with the help of a conciliator to reach a settlement, council voted unanimously in favour of a four-year collective agreement with CUPE Local 4960. The 23 unionized employees – representing the water plants, parks and recreation, public works and oth-

er departments – voted in favour of the agreement last week. The deal includes an eight per cent retroactive wage increase for the past three years. Mayor David Reid said council was aware of union expectations and built the increases into the past few budgets. The contract also includes a two per cent wage increase for the fourth year of the contract. The employees are paid an estimated $1 million. The two per cent increase is about $20,000. Reid said the agreement is fair,

Town treasurer and acting CAO David Pollard set to retire before year-end Continued from front

Reid anticipated that some councillors would frown on hiring an outside firm for an additional $15,000. He said the company has filled positions in numerous Ontario municipalities, and will attract more and better candidates. It offers better anonymity, which should attract more candidates. Most importantly, though, is that if the selected candidate can’t do the job for whatever reason, Odgers Berndtson offers a one-year guarantee and will have the spot filled again at no cost. Reid said a few lessons were learned the first time around. Next time they will advertise the starting salary (the last CAO was paid $122,000). More should have been spent on

advertising nationwide. But luck was against the town, in that the search took place just before Christmas and during a time when several nearby municipalities were also looking for a CAO. In agreement were councillors Ted Strike and Mark Wilmer. “I need to support this because we can’t afford to be in the same situation again,” Wilmer said. “The headhunters guarantee someone. It has a good reputation.” Council voted it down. Dan Lynch, Walter Stack, Lynn Grinstead, and Lyle Anderson opposed the idea. Lynch indicated that the county, a public entity, knows better how to hire for a public position. The two headhunter firms that applied

for the contract “didn’t impress” Stack, who said the county already has the background information needed and will be quicker on the uptake. Anderson wasn’t impressed either, saying one of the headhunters was more interested in “a sales presentation” then helping the town. He supported hiring the county because “they’re at home.” Grinstead said if council wants to spend extra money on the process it should go toward advertising, not headhunters. After the meeting Reid indicated that the stakes are high. “I’m not convinced (the county can find a good candidate). And now if we are not successful and we get a candidate we are not happy with, we’ll have to start the process all over again.”

The aim is to have a new CAO in 10 to 12 weeks. On his pending retirement, Pollard didn’t confirm nor deny that the added stress of doing the CAO job and the related turnovers prompted the announcement. “I could certainly continue working in my position as treasurer for the Town of Arnprior for many more years,” Pollard said in an email. “However, there are a lot of things I would like to do while I am still young enough to do so. We are constantly reminded that life is too short.” He intends to help council and the remaining staff through the rough patch. “The strategy is that the town hire a replacement for me prior to my retirement so that there is as smooth a transition as possible.”

Braeside building offer reconsidered Delay in hiring postmaster has council rethinking fire hall as post office plan John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – As the process to hire a new postmaster for Braeside drags on, McNabBraeside council may be having second thoughts about offering its fire station building to house the post office. Coun. Aldene Styles moved a motion at Tuesday’s council meeting to withdraw the offer of the building on Centre Street used by the township fire department. However, she and seconder Coun. Bob Campbell agreed to table the matter until the May 1 council meeting because Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie was absent. Blimkie is “passionate” about the issue and should be involved in the discussion noted Mayor Mary Campbell in successfully asking for the tabling. Styles said the fire department is in limbo because of the uncertainty regarding the post office now a candidate for the postmaster post interested in using the fire station building is no longer in the running for the job. Township CAO Noreen Mellema told council the applicant in question had not got the position and Canada Post was restarting the hiring process. Coun. Campbell said “leaving the fire department hanging” is not a good situation. He said Canada Post’s insistence a new postmaster be responsible for renovations to the fire building is likely deterring candidates. Mayor Campbell agreed other postmaster candidates might have their own ideas for a location, but she worried that if the township withdrew its offer of the building before the appointment was finalized, it might give Canada Post an

excuse to pull out of the village. Despite the “painful” uncertainty for the fire department, it isn’t directly affecting its ability to deliver services, she said. “It’s business as usual for them,” she said. “We don’t want … a lack of a facility to be an impediment to (maintaining) a post office in Braeside. We need to stay the course.” Coun. Brad MacIlquham agreed the township should

continue to offer the building if it meant keeping the post office operating. Styles expressed concern there is no contingency plan for the fire department if they have to move. The fire department had earlier expressed concern that it wouldn’t be given sufficient time to find a new building to hold fire prevention and training exercises and asked that it be updated regularly on the post office issue. Mayor Campbell said the

fire department would be given at least three weeks notice, and there should be some money allocated in the budget to help them move. The recently acquired Perneel building is one possibility, but not until it gets water and sewer service, she said (a public meeting to discuss use of the building is tentatively set for May 28). There likely won’t be any money available in the fire budget to pay for a move, according to Styles.

Litter a concern at Braeside post boxes John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Now it’s messy, now it isn’t. McNab-Braeside wrote to Canada Post earlier this year asking it to ensure the area around the post boxes in front of the Braeside fire hall is cleaned up periodically. Shortly after the letter was sent the flyers and other mailrelated debris was cleaned up at the site. However, when the snow melted a large amount of debris re-appeared. After a few weeks, the litter was once again removed. The township fire department had urged council to ask that the debris be cleaned up regularly and that waste receptacles be located at the site. People using the post boxes are asked to do their part in keeping the area around the fire hall clean.

Swift Railroad Contractors, which is based out of Massey, Ont., continue the salvage process of the Canadian Pacific Railway line. Salvage of the line between Renfrew and Smiths Falls will continue well into this year. CP’s schedule calls for the remainder of the line, between Cobden and Mattawa, to be salvaged in 2012 and 2013. Operator Rod Swift was collecting this bundle of ties at River Road in Horton last Saturday.

Rail enthusiasts anticipate old CN line to be ‘operational by November’

The groups will include municipalities, community organizations and economic development organizations, industrial users, and interests of passenger users (for future commuter initiatives). The fledgling railway operation itself will be managed as a for-profit activity reporting directly to TPR. Net profits from the operation will return to TPR for its use within the specific municipalities/communities. The railway operation will be headed by former Ottawa Central Railway general manager, James Allen. “We have a tight timeline to work right through September,� said Allen. “We hope that by early May TPR will have finalized the Safety Management System and application for insurance coverage.� By the end of May, “CN will be in a position to provide its formal go-ahead for the donation transaction to proceed. This is a key milestone on which all further milestones depend.� The plan to acquire the rail line, spearheaded by the group that includes former Arnprior mayor Terry Gibeau, has been developing since 2009 when CN placed the line on its abandonment list. Business and industry in MRC Pontiac and Renfrew County have stated that in today’s post-2008 recession economy, rail is needed as a shipping option. Overall, rail access itself presents a key tool to the economic rejuvenation of the region.

EMC news – While the tracks on the CPR line up the Upper Ottawa Valley are being pulled up, the group leading the campaign to save the parallel CN rails reports it is optimistic the line will be operational by November. The not-for-profit Transport Pontiac-Renfrew (TPR) provided a progress report to interested municipalities April 19. The briefing included information on a new board structure and final timelines for the pending acquisition of the CN Beachburg Subdivision railway line that goes from Ottawa through West Carleton and over to the Quebec side before coming back to Ontario south of Beachburg. “The briefing brought our municipal stakeholders up to date,� explained TPR director Louise Donaldson. “TPR is hoping to be operating by November assuming the current timetable remains intact.� The process to acquire the line includes co-operation with the municipalities along the corridor. Following a line evaluation by a professional railway firm, the municipalities agreed to a process to issue applicable tax receipts to TPR. “We are awaiting (the) Canada Revenue Agency’s stamp of approval for the replacement cost valuation method,� says TPR board member Daniel Amyotte. “The acquisition of the line depends on the final opinion of the CRA and transfer agreements with CN.� Also included in the briefing, information on a new set of bylaws to ensure TPR, as a not-for-profit entity, is governed by and for the people of these communities. “The bylaws create a new membership, which, in turn, will elect a new board of directors,� said TPR board member Lubomyr Chabursky. “The membership is divided into four groups to ensure that each constituency has a strong and balanced voice in the governance of TPR.�

From phishing to pharming, the fraudsters are out there What you don’t know can hurt you. Barely a week goes by that we don’t hear of a new scam, and with good reason. According to a news release last month from the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, kicking off March as Fraud Prevention Month, fraud-related offences are now thought to be as profitable as drug-related offences, estimated at $10 million to $30 million annually in Canada by the RCMP’s Commercial Crime Branch. The majority of these crimes aren’t committed by kids at their computers, 80 per cent or more of the work is conducted by criminal organizations.. Scams are as old as time itself, but their forms and levels of sophistication have evolved, keeping par with technology.

Door-to-door hoodlums have found new cover in the faceless world of phones, computers and hand-held devices. A whole new language has developed around these crimes. Phishing, for example, is when a fraudster sends out spam messages or attempts to draw people to a website designed to look very similar to a business or site you trust. As the name suggests, derived from the word fishing, is to throw out bait and hook you. When a fraudster targets specific businesses or individuals, that is spear phishing. Pharming describes when a fraudster or computer hacker redirects traffic from a legitimate website to a fraudulent one without the victim ever knowing it. Then the criminal har-

vests the victim’s information, as the play off the word farm suggests. It seems strange that two activities so honest and tradition-steeped – so very peaceful and productive – as fishing and farming are linked to such a devastating byproduct of man’s insatiable desire to cheat and steal. But perhaps these homonyms were meant to be, to remind us to be cautious and realize that times have surely changed. The days of unlocked doors and contract by handshake are long gone, but we can still celebrate the better part of mankind by doing all we can to protect ourselves and watch out for others, especially the most vulnerable among us. But the best protection of all might lie in a

good, old-fashioned work ethic that reminds us that nothing ever comes for free. Yes, the old sayings are as true today as ever before. For example, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. And a fool and his money are soon parted. Don’t be a fool. This Saturday at 1 p.m., area residents have the opportunity to attend an Renfrew OPPsponsored information session at the Renfrew Legion on fraud prevention. The focus will be on seniors, their families and caregivers, but the information will surely be relevant to everyone who cares about this increasing criminal trend and how they can reduce their risk of becoming a victim.

LETTERS

Caring for others an important value To the editor: I agree with the writer of the letter printed in the Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC April 12 (opposing the Diversity Festival) that one of the best things about our town is that the “old values� still remain. Those “old values� of caring for one’s families, neighbours and community are present not just in those raised in families from the JudeoChristian tradition. They are also present in Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, and Muslim families, as well as those who no longer practice a religious tradition but still live their lives in accordance with what Christians call the Golden Rule. I am also aware that there are people from all faiths, including Christianity, who act in ways which shock and offend the rest of us, and do so in the name of their religion. I am appalled, for example, when some fellow Christians use the Bible to oppress the women in their families or to beat their children. Although I am not aware of the book the writer referred to in his letter, I am sure that many of our Muslim neighbours are also ap-

palled by it. While the Diversity Festival is clearly not a gay pride parade, I hope that it will be a place where our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered neighbours (GLBT) will feel safe and openly accepted for who they are. The suicides and suicide attempts in the past year by GLBT youth, including ones in our community, make it clear that we have much more to do in this area. The letter also showed us how much we have to learn about and from each other. Diversity is an issue which cuts across political lines. Indeed, part of our community’s diversity is that we welcome different political views and parties, and the Diversity Festival Organizing Committee has intentionally invited people with different perspectives to join the group. We hope the writer and everyone else in Renfrew will give this initiative a fair chance, and come to learn more about each other and join in the festivities on July 6 and 7.

Gallant reckless with taxpayer dollars To the editor: When undertaking the most expensive military procurement ever, respect for hard-earned taxpayer dollars should be priority number one. But when it comes to the costs of the F35 stealth fighter jets, Cheryl Gallant and the Conservative Party failed to be up front with Canadians. Gallant claimed in the National Defence Committee that “the F-35 is the only aircraft that meets the requirements, and at the lowest cost.� (Dec. 7, 2010). But the recent Auditor General’s report has shredded the Conservatives’ deception about the project: Stephen Harper low-balled Cana-

dians on the project’s total cost. The report confirms the government knew the F-35 would cost $25 billion, but told Canadians $15 billion - $10 billion less. That’s a $10 billion mismanagement of your money. Nearly two years ago, the Liberals first raised a red flag about these concerns - only to meet with Conservative denials and deception. Mrs. Gallant and the Conservative Party must stop being reckless with your tax dollars. Canada should hold an open competition to secure the planes our troops need at the right price. John McKay defence critic Liberal Party of Canada

LETTERS

The lighter side of the Harper Conservatives F35 controversy To the editor: It is rare indeed to write letters back-to-back about the same subject, i.e. the F35, but this submission has nothing to do with costs, etc. or whether or not it is the ‘best thing since Kraft Dinner’. It does, however, provide some insight into its life cycle up to now. I must go back to the MS Carnival Magic .... hot tubs .... refreshment and meeting a new acquaintance who knows something about what he was talking about. I wrote last week that this chap was an aeronautical engineer in the employ of Boeing. I didn’t mention that he is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a former test pilot in the United States Air Force. We were having a good-natured chat about the F35 and its

history. Then he asked me if I ever saw the tabloid television program called ‘UFO Hunters’. While I am familiar with it, I indicated that I didn’t watch very much of that kind of programming and he laughed. He didn’t either. But we got around to UFOs and other stealth/camouflaging techniques that he didn’t think was compromising national security. He asked me if I ever saw contrails in the sky with no sign of an aircraft making them. I had! His explanation was these were military aircraft. They utilize a substance that almost makes the aircraft invisible to the naked eye. This compound is the blue/grey covering we see on our military aircraft. It has been around for many years he added. He also hinted that there is technol-

ogy that can make military airplanes disappear depending on factors of physics. The ‘UFO Hunters’ suggest that this is attributed to alien space craft monitoring U.S. test facilities and he laughed as he explained it. The only aliens out there are ‘us’. Back to the F35. For test purposes, the F35 displays a triangular light display on the underside of the aircraft. Operationally, he said it would not be there, but this allows monitoring resources to track and observe how the aircraft behaves, etc., as it is being developed. He went on to say that the ‘UFO Hunters’ claim to have seen these lights off of Catalina Island and this ‘craft’ hovered ... then sped away. What these people were seeing, according to my friend, was the vertical take-off and landing variant for

the U.S. Marine Corps. He went on to say that the time frame for these observations by our friends on ‘all-terrain vehicles’ and ‘Piper Cubs’ covers the past decade or more of the development of this aircraft. He went back to suggest that the ‘UFO Hunters’ are more alien than we are. He called them ‘space cadets’. He didn’t elaborate very much more other than to say that the U.S. Navy has test facilities in southern California, the U.S.A.F. operate a test area in the Mohave Desert, i.e. Area 51, and the U.S. Army has a large test facility in Utah. All of them collaborate in the development and testing of many systems from laser technology to other ‘weird’ programs. So that is about all I can add

about the F35. Still, it is more than our government has been able to tell us. I still hear my friend telling me though, “the F35 may not make the cut” unless there is way to make the cost ‘lighter’. Today I watched ‘UFO Hunters’ on OLN as they tried to unravel the strange lights in the Utah skies from their ‘all-terrain vehicles’. They truly are ‘space cadets’! Now back to Mssrs. Fantino and MacKay as they attempt to ‘lighten up’ the mess they have created with this airplane. “Good luck lads.” We out here in Renfrew County are counting on you. We hear there are strange lights hovering over Waba and Calabogie these days! Thomas Charbonneau Arnprior

MPP MacLaren’s bill would turn back clock on animal welfare gains To the editor: Tory MPP Jack MacLaren, a cattle farmer in the riding of Carleton-Mississippi, has been trying to slip through a Private members Bill, Bill 47, the amended version of Bill 37. This Bill would remove all penalties for animal abuse and neglect violations that exist as a result of the Ontario OSPCA Act. He would have the OSPCA stripped of all law enforcement powers and abolish the Animal Care and Review Board (which currently hears the appeals from people whose animals have been removed by the Ontario OSPCA). It would stop the Ontario OSPCA from removing animals from abusive and negligent situations. The OSPCA wouldn’t be allowed to order owners to take proper steps to care for their animals (example: ordering owner to provide water, shelter or veterinary care).

It would remove legal obligations of veterinarians to report animal abuse and neglect. His proposal is to have OPP, local police services or community policing take on the enforcement. MacLaren said he is trying to curb OSPCA abuse, that he believes is widespread. He said that some OSPCA investigators seize farm animals so that they can bill the owner for care to make money for their charitable organization. He has made un-informed statements stating the OSPCA walk into people’s houses and seize their animals. MacLaren would see the farmers bring in their own veterinarians, the ones that rely on the farmers for their business. Our local Affiliate Humane Society is one of many that rely on the generous donations from the public through memorium, yard

sales, walk-a-thons, bake sales, etc. They work incredibly hard to maintain high standards for the shelter and their ongoing search for ‘forever homes’ for the residents, so to have MacLaren insinuate they would have animals seized for gain is not only ludicrous but insulting. It is not the mandate of the Humane Society or the OSPCA to seize anyone’s animals. They want the people who own the animals to properly care for them by alleviating distress and/or improving conditions. If nothing improves, and distress still exists, then sometimes removal is necessary for the care and health of the animal(s). There has to be a charge; the shelter is not a hotel. There are workers who feed, clean, many times groomers are needed to resolve issues, veterinary costs, boarding, paperwork, etc. that has to be done as a result of animals seized.

There are a lot of excuses for not complying with issued orders, but it basically comes down to choices. The Humane Society and OSPCA will work with owners, but obviously not to the detriment of the animal. Since the Ontario OSPCA Act was amended in 2008, Ontario has been ranked as the best province for animal welfare laws by the U.S. Animal Defence Fund. The OSPCA officers have in-depth, ongoing training in all areas of domestic and farm animals, yearly up-dating to continue to grow and remain current. By giving this Bill even a thought would set animal rights and welfare back decades. Val Hemphill On behalf of the board of directors Arnprior and District Humane Society

The Red Admirals have finally arrived EMC lifestyle – We are used to seeing birds arrive en masse. One day, backyard feeders display a dearth of birds and the next, hordes of American Goldfinches paint them yellow and black. Overnight, empty fields become alive with Canada Geese. But it is not often we see the same phenomenon with butterflies. Along the shores of Lake Erie, we do see large movements of butterflies. In the early autumn, Monarchs move along the shores of that Great Lake, gathering by the thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands as they head for wintering sites in Mexico. But here in inland Ontario, we never see those numbers. This spring, however, we have experienced an unprecedented arrival of butterflies.

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way Millions of Red Admirals, a beautiful butterfly with a deep orange vertical bar on each front wing, which is black with white spots on the outer half, and dark brown on the inner. The hind wing bears a wide fringe of orange. The underside of the wings are arguably even more beautiful, with the front ones sport-

This spring we have experienced unprecedented numbers of butterflies, including Red Admirals. ing blue patches in addition to orange stripes, and the brown hind wings are decorated with swirls. Last week I visited a large bog north of Cornwall in search of a rare bog butterfly, the Bog Elfin. The bog was a sea of white Leatherleaf flowers, which were obviously full

of nectar for hundreds of beelike Hover Flies and fuzzy round Bee Flies hovered around them. Red Admirals were also nectaring on them, with each step resulting in a cloud of the butterflies, as many as 50 at a time. Impossible to do a proper count, my colleagues

and I estimated that there were many thousands present in the bog. It was like walking through a Sarah McLachlan dream. Red Admirals are being seen all through southern Ontario in similar numbers. Why so many of these migratory butterflies are here likely involves the warmest March in the southern U.S.A. in history. The warm temperatures may have resulted in greater reproduction and survival of the butterflies down south, and the warm airflow brought many farther north than usual. The butterflies travelled north faster than usual, up to 400 km per day by some estimates. Butterflies need nectar to fuel their engines and the Leatherleaf flowers certainly provided it. But what about the millions of other Red Ad-

mirals fluttering around Ontario? Will they go hungry? Maxim Larrivée at the University of Ottawa said it best: “They need nectar sources … they’re like gas in the tank for them, and right now the gas stations are all closed.” I also wonder about the effect of all the butterflies that do find nectar. Other insects, many specialized to pollinate specific flowers, suddenly have competition for the sweet enticements. Perhaps the usual pollinators are being deprived of their food, which could result in certain flowers not being pollinated, that is unless the Red Admirals can do the job. Oh yes, on the excursion I did see a Bog Elfin. But I am afraid the Red Admirals stole the show! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

Ducks Unlimited brings back wildly successful dinner-auction EMC lifestyle - Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) returned to Arnprior April 20 to a crowd of about 170 at the St. John Chrysostom parish hall. Judging from the overwhelming support of local sponsors and all of those who attended, Friday’s event, after an absence of about four years, was long overdue. “It was great once again to see Arnprior and the surrounding area generate fabulous support for DUC,” said DUC area manager Tim Binch. The Arnprior committee volunteers Chris Coady, Stephen Dolan, Sean Mulvihill, Scott Coady, Tom MacIntyre and Chris Von Boetticher, along with their wives, all worked ex-

tremely hard in the weeks preceding and during the event to ensure it ran smoothly and successfully. Those attending included both long-time DUC supporters and many new faces. Special guests in the crowd were Jamie Fortune, CEO of Ducks Unlimited Canada, and Brian Warren, publisher of Bounder magazine. Prior to an “amazing” hip of beef dinner provided by Shari Rathwell of Riley’s Catering, guests took part in various raffles and a silent auction. Later in the evening Brian and Blake Corbin provided an entertaining live auction, which included an autographed Bobby Orr Team Canada jersey as the premiere prize. The mer-

Bill Craig signed his donor card in the past, but he had no idea how great the need is until he found himself on a lengthy wait list for a new kidney. This is National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week. To become a donor, log onto beadonor.ca. It takes 90 seconds to complete the two questions. ing for him, and appreciates the awareness raised over the past few months by 20-year-old Helene Campbell’s campaign that caught the attention of Justin Bieber and Ellen DeGeneres. But it hasn’t been an pleasant situation. Last winter his doctor gave him three options: start dialysis while healthy; wait to start when sick; or die of kidney failure. “I said the third one’s not an option, so let’s go back to the first,” he said.

He still thinks about the nurses at the General Hospital in Ottawa, and how they lamented the loss of perfectly good organs just because people didn’t take the 90 seconds it takes to sign up online. He recalled his time working in pathology. About 100 autopsies were performed a year, but only one had parts taken to benefit a person in need. “Everything else went to waste,” he

Experts say whether you decide to consent to donate or not, it is important to discuss your wishes with your family. By doing so, you relieve your family of the burden to decide whether to donate on your behalf during their time of grief. Studies have come to show that donating the organs and tissues of a loved one can provide immediate comfort and long-term consolation for family members. A donor card is a paper card carried by the prospective donor. Your decision to donate is only known to the extent that you share this decision with your family and friends. However, when you register your consent to donate organs and tissue, this information is stored in a Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care database and made available for the purpose of ensuring your decision to donate is known and respected.

EMC news – Before a series of misfortunes led to his name appearing on the kidney wait list, Bill Craig had no inkling of the lives that could be saved if only more people signed on to become organ donors. “When I started dialysis, the nurses said some people are waiting for years for a donor,” Craig said during National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week, April 19 to 26. “They don’t know it until they need it.” Some 1,600 Ontarians and almost 4,500 Canadians, are on a wait list for a new organ. Thousands more are given a renewed chance to enjoy life, thanks to organ donors. Craig’s story started back in 2009 with what seemed like an innocuous blister on his foot. For Craig, a salty fisherman with a record muskie and charter company, a sinewy man who spends as much time on the water as in the house during summer, the sudden decline in his health came as something of a shock. The blister didn’t heal. The antibiotics did more harm than help. And because he didn’t have a family doctor at the time, critical data wasn’t getting from one health professional to another. He wound up with lost sight in his left eye and badly damaged kidneys. “I was down to something like 20 per cent use of my kidneys,” he said. “I started dialysis on Feb. 2. I’ll tell you, you learn a lot in a very short time.” It could be eight or nine years before he gets a transplant. But Craig is relatively healthy, has a fine doctor in Renfrew car-

EMC sports - The first try was a success. The We Are All Gold swim meet for about 55 athletes finished Sunday at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior with smiles on all sides. Coaches, other officials and athletes with the three local clubs, the Redfish Special Olympics Swim Club, Arnprior Bluefish Swim Club and Greyfish Masters Swim Club, seemed to like what they experienced. Jane Dowd, who is a Greyfish swimmer and coach for the town’s other two

swim clubs, was very supportive of the new meet format. “It’s the first time we’ve ever had a meet where we were inviting just the three clubs of Arnprior, to see if it works, which it seems to be,� she said from the sidelines during Sunday’s action. Gold, or first-place, ribbons only went to those who beat their seed time, while second-place ribbons went to those finishing within five seconds of their seed times. Third-place ribbons went to those who were close, but not close enough. The Red Fish included such participants as Kaity Boettger and Greg Mur-

The masters club is for senior agegroup competitors, including Bill Chown and Eric Thomson. Veterans masters swimmer Thomson, 64, of Dunrobin liked what he saw. “It’s an excellent way to include everyone in a swim competition,� he said. “By combining the three clubs, we have enough swimmers to hold a meet,� he added, shortly after swimming the 100-metre breast stroke in 1:29.9 in a tight battle against two teenagers.

Arnprior Jiu Jitsu dojo to open its doors May 7 John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC sports – It’s hard to believe that Rob Dodd was bullied as a child. The Jiu Jitsu black belt exudes strength and confidence. But it wasn’t always that way. However, once he joined the Pontiac Jiu Jitsu dojo (school) in Renfrew, he soon gained the self-esteem and self-defence skills to ensure he wasn’t bullied again. After honing his Jiu Jitsu skills for the past nine years and teaching it for the past four, Sensei Dodd is opening a Pontiac Jiu Jitsu dojo in Arnprior. It will be Pontiac Jiu Jitsu’s fifth dojo, with the original three on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River. Anyone interested in learning more about the martial art is welcome to drop in on the first session at the Kenwood Athletic Centre on Edward Street Monday, May 7 at 6 p.m. There will be Jiu Jitsu demonstrations and information available about the dojo. “No obligation ‌ just come and see what it’s all about,â€? invites Dodd. Setting up an Arnprior dojo was a natural progression for Dodd, whose day jobs involve security and construction. For the past year he has been coming to Arnprior and McNab-Braeside to teach four students who wanted the extra help without having to travel to Renfrew. Now instead of learning at their homes on Sunday evenings or driving to Renfrew, Arnprior students can join their own dojo. Dodd welcomes students

from all over the area, including McNab-Braeside, Pakenham and West Carleton. He has had students as far away as Constance Bay express interest in attending. The dojo will meet Mondays with the youth class scheduled from 6 to 7 p.m. and the adult class from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Both are co-ed and students from age five and up are welcome. There are students in their 50s and 60s in the other Pontiac dojos. Dodd, who grew up in Horton and whose grandparents once lived in the Arnprior area, was originally considering a fall start-up. However, a Monday evening spot opened at the Kenwood Centre, so he jumped at the opportunity. While there are various martial arts opportunities in the area, Dodd is a strong believer, based on personal experience, in the benefits of Jiu Jitsu. “It’s a great martial art ‌ very versatile,â€? he said. “You can take your Jiu Jitsu in any direction you want.â€? Some students enjoy the competition, while others prefer to concentrate on personal self-improvement, he noted. In all cases, students learn self-discipline and focus. While there are sparring and weapons aspects of the sport, Jiu Jitsu teachings emphasize self-defense using both the hands and the feet. Some martial arts concentrate on making an opponent submit, but in the form of Jiu Jitsu Dodd is teaching, “the goal is to diffuse a situation and get away safely ‌ it’s geared more towards survival (than domination),â€? he said.

He teaches quick and effective ways to disentangle if someone grabs you. He also gives lessons on Karate moves, ground escapes, pressure points and modern weapons escapes (knife, club and gun). It is impressed on students that while Jiu Jitsu can be a valuable tool to discourage bullying, it must never be used to bully others. “You learn self-respect and respect of others,� Dodd stresses. While his main focus will be the Arnprior dojo, he will continue to instruct classes in Renfrew Tuesday evenings. That dojo has grown from a handful of students to at least 70 a night. The youth classes there are split about 50/50 between boys and girls. One of the advantages of being part of the Pontiac Jiu Jitsu family is that he has plenty of resources and expertise to call on to help with his dojo. The Pontiac instructors also regularly attend seminars and conferences to continually upgrade their skills. “You never stop learning,� he said. Dodd says it “feels good� to be head instructor of a dojo. It’s a welcome opportunity for him to pass on all the benefits that Jiu Jitsu has accorded him. For more information about Pontiac Jitsu, which has been a school in good standing with the Ontario Jiu Jitsu Association since 1998, visit the website http://www.wix. com/vaiollancourtian/pontiac or check out Pontiacjuijitsu. com on Facebook.

Valley Pride Selects team improved as year progressed EMC sports – Arnprior-based Valley Pride Basketball was excited to have the ďŹ rst ever team in the West End Basketball League this year.

However, the girls never stopped learning and improving, and ďŹ nished the year winning seven of their last eight games prior to the playoffs. The team qualiďŹ ed for the A division ďŹ nals played in Kanata, and after battling for three games they were ďŹ nally eliminated in their quest for the championship. The coaches and parents could not have been more proud of the girls and their vast improvement as players and more importantly as a team since the beginning of the year.

Madawaska Mustangs win Upper Ottawa Valley title EMC sports - It was a hardfought series, but the Arnprior-based Madawaska Mustangs came away as champs after defeating Pembroke in two nail-biting games to clinch the Upper Ottawa Valley Girls Hockey Association midget title. Game one played at the Pembroke Memorial Centre was a very gritty affair. The only scoring in the entire game came at 18 seconds of the first period after Madawaska won the opening faceoff and dumped the puck into the opposing zone. Sarah Dick fought for the puck in the corner and passed it out to Janessa Russett, who was waiting in front of the net. Russett took no time in getting the shot away and Madawaska took the lead 1-0. Neither team could score again, even with power-plays awarded to both. Pembroke came on hard for the last 2 ½ minutes after pulling their goalie for an extra attacker. The puck was in the Mustangs’ zone for that entire time, as they could not clear it. Rachel Glofcheskie was rock solid in nets and didn’t let anything past her. The game ended 1-0 with Glofcheskie being awarded the shutout. Game two was on home ice at the Nick Smith Centre and turned out to be another hard-fought battle with action going back and forth. The first

Congratulations to the Madawaska Mustangs, the Upper Ottawa Valley girls hockey champions. Team members include, in back from left, assistant coach John Poirier, Kailey Hook, Kelsie McGuire, Justine Rouleau, Sarah Dick, Tomi Grys, trainer Glenda Russett, coach Cathy Greenough; and Meggan Poirier, Jordan Greenough, Janessa Russett, Saralyn Deslaurier, and goalie Rachel Glofcheskie. Photo courtesy the Russett family two periods were scoreless, but fans were offered a real treat with end-to-end action. Glofcheskie, again, was stellar between the pipes, and seemed to see everything being fired at her, even on four Pembroke power-plays with Russett serving two minutes for tripping, Tomi Grys two minutes for body contact, Saralyn Deslaurier for cross checking and Dick for goalie interference.

Finally, after sticking to their game plan, the Mustangs struck at the 3:59 minute mark in the third period. While short-handed, Dick raced down the ice with the puck. She saw Russett rushing for the net, and made a nice pass across ice to her awaiting stick. Russett dumped it into the net to put the Mustangs on the board for the first time in the game. Madawaska still had the rest

of their penalty to kill off and Pembroke came on hard and strong. The Mustangs managed to kill it off, and fought desperately to hold back the opposition’s onslaught. With 45 seconds left in the final period, the face-off came down to the Mustangs’ end. Pembroke again pulled their goalie to give them an extra attacker and won the face-off with the puck going to one of their wingers. As the

winger passed it back to their sharp-shooting defense, Russett intercepted the pass, and chipped the puck ahead of her, out of her zone. Pembroke’s defense and Russett were in a footrace for the puck. Russett managed to get to the puck first and fired it into the empty net with 26.2 seconds remaining. Madawaska won 2-0 and clinched the midget girls title, shutting out Pembroke again.

Casselman Vikings win first EOJHL title EMC sports – The Gatineau Mustangs must know how the Arnprior Packers feel. At times the Mustangs dominated the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League championship series with the Casselman Vikings. However, they could not translate that into wins and they lost best-of-seven series in five games. Gatineau, the Metro division champions, rallied to tie games four and five in the final minute of regulation time. In both cases, the Vikings, the St. Lawrence division champions, answered with a goal early in overtime to pull out a 5-4 victory, and then 4-3 April 12 to win their first EOJHL championship. OUTPLAYED

The Packers outplayed Gatineau at times in their series, but the Valley division champions couldn’t hang on to early leads and lost four games to two.

BROKERAGE

OPEN HOUSE SUN. APRIL. 29 FROM 2-4PM

KIDS ARE WELCOME - FREE ICECREAM

About 10 young women, mostly in their 20s, are practising this year before joining a rollerderby league next year as the entry from Renfrew County. Players registered to date come from the Quebec side of the Ottawa Valley as well as Arnprior, Pembroke, Renfrew, Foresters Falls and Beachburg. The players tend to have colourful names, including Dita von Junk Punch and Honey Brawler, both of Arnprior. The team’s ďŹ rst ofďŹ cial practice on a full ice surface (without the ice) takes place this Sunday at the Beachburg Arena from 7 to 9 p.m. They’ll be skating on roller skates, or quad skates, while wearing protective knee, elbow and head gear. The team also held a low-key practice at

Renfrew’s Ma-Te-Way Activity last Sunday, with hopes of attracting a few spectators or potential players. A small handful of spectators dropped by. A team usually ďŹ elds about 10 skaters per match, of which ďŹ ve are on the oor at any one time before being tagged on or off the oor by a teammate. If looking for reasons to join, Brawny Cash says: “Because it’s fun and different ‌ and the passion and enthusiasm for (roller) skating.â€? There’s no age limit, either, stresses Cash. And she said men are welcomed to contact her to learn about how to referee the sport. Women’s roller-derby leagues already exist in other Ontario communities, including Kingston, Ottawa, North Bay and Peterborough. Potential players are invited to attend Sunday’s practice in Beachburg. The practice is closed to spectators. For more details, email Cash of Foresters Falls at renfrewcountryrollerderby@gmail. com.

EMC news – Struggling math students and their – often helpless – parents benefitted from an evening program at A.J. Charbonneau this year. The four sessions were meant to show parents how their Grade 2 to 5 kids are taught in the classroom using problemsolving. How kids learn math has changed greatly over the years. Less focus is placed on the final answer than on students’ explanation of how they arrived at the answer. Participants did activities that covered all five strands and suggestions were pro-

vided in how to help develop mathematics skills at home. They also had a chance to learn how to use manipulatives to understand concepts and explain their thinking. Many games using cards and dice were shared with the families to strengthen number sense. Opportunity was provided for parents to ask questions and become more familiar with the curriculum and how to help their children. Scott Love said he was having difficulty helping his daughter August LoveMcCourt with her homework. She too struggled with math. The night sessions, with 21 other students from both public schools in Arnprior, made a big differ-

ence. “I wanted to learn it from a different perspective, too,” Love said. “And it’s much, much different today.” Organizers include Jackie Stadnyk, Jenna Colterman, and Gail Okum. They tried to make it easier on families to participant, hence free daycare at all the hour-and-a-half sessions. “Fantastic response and parents commented on how much fun and enjoyable the evenings were,” Okum said. The last session for this year was April 17. Each child was presented a certificate for their dedication and Kelly Bourbonnais treated them with sweets for their hard work.

That’s when she told the younger women that she usually carries two jugs at once, and carries her baby on her hip at the same time. “‘Oh, Moma Jane. You are Superman,’ I said to her.” “‘Not Superman. But sometimes I feel like SuperMomma,’ she said.” It may have been difficult for the students to hear Schuler describe the challenges in building a basic mud school with no electricity. But she

also empowered the kids to believe that they aren’t helpless, that they can make a difference. She encouraged students to do three things: celebrate their successful campaign to raise $9,541; be kind to one another by saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and develop other civilizing habits; and, for those that are up for it, they should consider joining Free the Children’s one-week leadership camp for youths. She also asked students to ‘like’ the organization’s Facebook page. Doing so means corporate supporters will donate $1 to the non-profit. It has $2.5 million ‘likes’ already.

EMC news – A guest speaker from a non-governmental organization (NGO) last week showed a gymnasium full of students how they can help someone in just 30 seconds. Amber Schuler from Free the Children, a non-profit group that helps kids in developing countries, had the A.J. Charbonneau Public School students “skooch” their bums forward on the floor, then to the left, back one spot, then return to their original place. “There, you just helped the janitor clean the floor,” she said. The lesson was meant to show that kids of all ages can make the world a better place, in ways both big and small. But the kids have done far more than clean the floor in

recent weeks. They did something major to help kids on the other side of the world. They presented Free the Children’s spokesperson with a cheque worth more than $9,500. It was presented to Schuler on stage by principal Angie McGrath, who credited teacher Vicky Toner for her hard work and organizational skills in bringing the campaign together. Schuler, sporting a T-shirt that read “Think We,” explained the difficult lives people live in disadvantaged countries like Kenya, where she helped build a new school. She talked about “Momma Jane” carrying water one kilometre every day to an older woman’s home. Schuler and her friend did it, too. They filled a huge jug

Oregon Grape, trash targeted, as public urged to join work bee in Grove Saturday

The grape escape John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is inviting volunteers to help get rid of some unwelcome visitors in Gillies Grove this Saturday, April 28. The first of what is expected to be many initiatives to involve the public in maintaining and spreading awareness about the Grove will see volunteers remove trash and non-native Oregon Grape from the lush oldgrowth forest on the edge of Arnprior.

PITCHING IN FOR EARTH DAY

Photo by Erin McCormick

Emma McCormick, left, and Cassandra Kidd got into the spirit of Earth Day Sunday by picking up garbage in their Arnprior neighbourhood and behind the Nick Smith Centre. The John XXIII students noticed that some of their neighbours had been cleaning up the area earlier in the day, so they decided to join the Earth Day effort. They found plenty of trash, especially in the bush behind the Nick Smith Centre. Pitch-in Week is running April 23 to 30 in Canada and Arnprior council is encouraging citizens to do what Emma and Cassandra did Sunday on a special Pitch-in Day (Saturday, May 5) in town. People planning to clean up their streets, parks, school yards and ravines are asked to register for the effort by calling 613-623-7301 or emailing abarclay@arnprior.ca.

The ‘Grape Escape Conservation Volunteers event’ begins at 9:30 a.m. this Saturday in Gillies Grove. On the hit is the Oregon Grape plant.

and drinks that will be provided. To register, visit www.conservationvolunteers.ca, click on the events calendar and find the event, or contact Kristyn Ferguson at Kristyn.Ferguson@natureconservancy.ca or 1-877343-3532, ext. 222. Known for its purple clusters of berries with a slightly dusky colour, the Oregon grape is a fast growing evergreen bush that is spreading across forests in southern Ontario. Removing the bushes will free up the forest floor and allow native plants to thrive, explains the NCC. The NCC has asked the public when visiting the Grove to be on the lookout for, and report, such invasive species as Oregon Grape, Japanese Spurge, and Glossy and Falsh Buckthorn. Officials suspect the species enter the Grove when homeowners dump their garden waste there. The NCC’s Conservation Volunteers program engages people of all ages and experience levels in the protection of Canada’s biodiversity, while providing a meaningful, hands-on experience in ecologically significant natural areas. Events are carefully designed to ensure volunteer time is dedicated to critical conservation action. At the last Friends of Gillies Grove annual meeting, the group’s executive and NCC representatives agreed that increasing public and student participation in maintaining and protecting the old-growth forest is a priority. During discussion on ways to attract more visitors to Gillies Grove, it was suggested work bees and information sessions A work bee in Grove Saturday will be seeking to rid the area of Oregon Grape, an would help promote awareness of the area. invasive species threatening to choke out other plants in the old-growth forest.

“Help NCC reclaim a forest that is rich in wildlife and plant species, then enjoy a guided tour with chances to spot scarlet tanagers, pileated woodpeckers and white trilliums,� says the NCC in urging public participation in the event. The NCC, which owns and manages Gillies Grove, is asking those interested in taking part in the work bee register for the ‘Grape Escape Conservation Volunteers event’, which will begin at 9:30 a.m. Participants are asked to bring a lunch to go along with the light snacks

Pre-book an half-hour appointment and for $75 you will receive two 8x10 photos of you and your best friend. “I believe Digital Mammography needs to come to the Arnprior Hospital,” Garlough said. “As we all know too well, early detection is the best prevention for breast cancer and for women in this area that means having access to state-of-the-art technology. Digital Mammography is this technology and we deserve to have this equipment easily accessible to our surrounding communities.” Garlough earned her Masters of Photographic Arts designation in 2007.

And Garlough successfully established her business in the Ottawa Valley. She is locally renowned for her original portraiture and outstanding customer service. She has recently given birth to her next exciting venture, Innovation Advancement. This new business is a full service dental consultancy and coaching business based on creative ideas. “I strive to offer state-of-the-art training and speaking on dental practice management with an innovative bent.” Yet Garlough says, “photography is still a burning passion that I never tire of.” Sittings will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 12 at her studio in Burnstown. Each appointment will be a half hour and this will include the photo session and your choice of one image. This one image will then be developed at a later date and each person will receive one 8x10 photo as a keepsake of yourself and your best friend. Appointment can be scheduled by calling Digital Mammography campaign chair Kimberley O’Shaughnessy at Island View Retirement Suites at 613-622-0002, ext. 1. “Together, we can drive the success of early detection of breast cancer and save our best friends lives,” they say.

Volunteers and participants presented the Arnprior District High School custodial staff with a gift basket on the last night of the program to thank them for their support. With the group are Rob Armstrong, Sharon Shubrink, and Scott Shane.

Get W.I.T.H. It! walks away from great season EMC lifestyle – Thursday, March 29 marked the last night of walking for the many participants of the Get WITH It! program. In its third season, the program registered 314 participants, ran for 36 nights with an average attendance of 56 per night, and in total logged 2,064 walks. The organizers thank Arnprior

District High School, particularly principal Neil Farmer and the custodial staff, and Jay Koch from the Town of Arnprior Recreation Department for their ongoing support of the program. Thanks from all of the participants to the dedicated volunteers – Karen Bretzlaff, Charlie Mainprize, Andrew Rueckwald,

Michael Smith, Marney Hannah, Linda and Karl Dregischan, Beth Lepack, Betty Rowe, Lorna Watkins, Christine O’Hara, Rosemary Recoskie, Rick Lamandeau, Lynn Zander, Maureen Rueckwald and Peggy Wallace. Thanks also to Judy Whitelock for offering the opportunity for participants to give Nordic Walking Poles a try once a

month at the school. Walkers were encouraged to keep the healthy walking habit going by keeping their commitments to Tuesday and Thursday night walking, either on the school track or the streets of town, as the weather gets warmer. The Get WITH it program will return in November.

Telling people’s stories through the Dragon’s Breath

Donate air miles for sick kids

Everyone has a story to share about diversity, including often overlooked teenagers 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. Victoria St. Michael

EMC lifestyle - Everyone has a story and the right for it to be heard. A lot of the time people are overlooked, and sometimes those are the people who have the most to say. We’ve all heard the quote “you know my name, not my story.” Everyone deserves to be heard. So what if your body isn’t like the model on the front of that magazine? If you’re quiet? If you’re not good at math? If you’re considered ‘socially awkward?’ If you’re gay or straight or big or small or white or black or play sports or like music or like to dye your hair crazy colours or get tattoos and pierc-

Victoria St. Michael ings? Nobody deserves to be ignored and people need to know that not everything is black or white. People need to see between the lines. I was bullied throughout elementary and high school and am a victim of sexual abuse. I love to play piano and

read books about love stories that couldn’t possibly exist in real life. I love spaghetti and my best friend’s name is Raven. That is my story, or at least part of it. A lot of things happen everyday that no one expects. It’s shocking how often these things are overlooked or how lightly they’re taken. I have a friend who’s a teen mom and is looked down upon every day for it, another who cuts her wrists and another one who gets picked on daily because he likes men. This is real, and it’s time somebody made a difference. It’s time I introduce Dragon’s Breath. I am one of the organizers for the Diversity Festival in Renfrew July 6 and 7, designed to open people’s eyes and help them appreciate the unique gifts we all have to offer. It’s meant to celebrate our differences and make a difference in the lives of those who are overlooked.

Faces of Diversity Dragon’s Breath is a dramatic performance organized by children, youth, adults and seniors alike from Renfrew County all working together to tell their stories. These stories will wake people up and make a difference in our communities. Dragon’s Breath will challenge what is considered “normal” and expand horizons throughout the county and eventually around the world. This is something I am extremely dedicated to and I fully intend on doing my part to make a difference in the world.

The Festival kicks off Friday, July 6, with Dragon’s Breath, at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church and the festival is Saturday, July 7, 9 a.m.- 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. For more information on the show or to sign up, email diversityfestivalinformation@ gmail.com visit us on Facebook at www.facebook/DiversityFestival.

EMC news – Time is running out for Aeroplan members to donate air miles to the Renfrew County United Way for a pooling account that will help sick children who need medical treatment outside of Renfrew County. Donated Aeroplan Miles can be directed to the pooling account up until April 30 using a pledge form available from participating Aeroplan retail outlets. Outlets in Renfrew County include most Esso service stations, Home Hardware Building Centres and Sears Canada outlets. The form can also be found on the United Way’s website at www.renfrewcountyunitedway.ca/. Once pledge forms are completed, signed and returned to the United Way, they will be forwarded to Aeroplan as their authorization to credit the account of Renfrew County United Way with donated Aeroplan Miles.

38 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, April 26, 2012

I sit here and ponder, How very much I’d like to talk with you today, There are so many things, That we didn’t get to say. I know how much you loved us, And how much we love we have for you. And each time that we think of you, I know you’ll miss us too. An angel came and took you by the hand and said, You place was ready in Heaven, far above... And you had to leave behind all those you dearly loved, You had so much to live for, You had so much to do... It still seems impossible that God was taking you. And though your life on Earth is past, In Heaven it starts anew. You’ll live for all eternity, Just as God has promised you. And though you’ve walked through Heaven’s gate, We are never far apart. For every time we think of you, You’re right here, deep within our heart. Loving you, Missing you, Mom and Josh xoxoxo

When evening shades are falling, And we sit in quiet alone. To our hearts there comes a longing, If she only could come home. Friends may think we have forgotten, When at times they see us smile, But they little know the heartache, Our smiles hide all the while. Nancy and Marc SCHNOB, Bruce April 29, 2011 Today recalls the memory, Of my brother gone to rest. And those who think of him today, Are those who loved him best. The flowers we lay upon his grave, May wither and decay, But the love for him who lies beneath, Will never fade away. Miss you Bruce, Love Dale, Len and Family VIRGIN, Marjorie In loving memory Mom who passed away April 29th, 2007. They say it is a beautiful journey, From the old world to the new. Someday we’ll make that journey which will lead us straight to you. And when we reach that garden, in which there is no pain. We’ll put our arms around you, And never part again. Love Margaret

Foster, Sadie (Sally) W.

The Gift Of A Lasting Love Love is much more than a tender caress And more than bright hours of happiness, For a lasting love is made up of sharing Both hours that are joyous and also despairing. It’s made of patience and deep understanding And never of stubborn or selfish demanding. It’s made up of climbing the steep hills together And facing with courage life’s stormiest weather. And nothing on earth or in heaven can part A love that has grown to be part of the heart. And just like the sun and the stars and the sea, This love will go on through eternity, For true love lives on when earthly things die, For it’s part of the spirit that soars to the sky. -HSR The Foster Family CL344177

A year has now passed, since I lost Bruce, And in this time, I have learned many things. That life, family and friends, are so precious, And be thankful for the day and the joy it brings. Bruce loved his family, and he was so proud, He worked hard for us, on his job everyday. His co-workers at Sandvik, could see he was sick, Thank-you for helping him as he struggled to stay. Bruce and I shared a lot in the 32 years we had, Four wonderful children, their families and a dream. The dream of racing our Beaumont, he was so glad. Glad to be together, we made a great team, Enjoying the day with our friends at the track. But the day came when I lost my team mate, He is free from the pain, I would not wish him back. So rest now Bruce, free from the worries, I will continue our dream, and “polish” the car. I will watch over our children and “live” every day, And knowing when we need you, that you won’t be far away. Forever loved, forever missed Forever in my heart, Monica.

The Voice of the Wind When the warm breeze of April caresses you Part of it will be me. When you look into the eyes of my children part Of them will be me. When a snowflake of winter plans a kiss on Your cheek that kiss might well have been me. And the dust which appears out of nowhere may that be a part of the dust that was me. Through the promise of morning and the voice of the wind I will always have something to say. To reflect on those wonderful moments and Warm you as you make you way. All things that we both were a part of will Continue to brighten each day. Making room for the sounds of your laughter by Remembering I’m not far away. By David Garred

The joys are all the beautiful memories that you left behind to be held dear and close to our hearts forever. The sorrow is not having you with us everyday, not having said goodbye, because you were taken from us so suddenly. You were and will always be dearly loved and never forgotten. May the Lord hold you tenderly in his arms till we are together again. “God Bless.” You will always be forever young.

Arnprior Knights of Columbus Substance Abuse Chair, Darcy Fridgen, visited the school to present them with their awards. Right, Brittany James of Walter Zadow Public School receives here post contest award from Fridgen in recognition of her winning poster. The contest encourages students to stay away from drugs and alcohol.

WZ, St. Joe’s students win Knights of Columbus poster contest EMC lifestyle – The winners of the annual Arnprior Knights of Columbus Substance Abuse Poster competition were announced a few weeks ago at St. Joseph’s and Walter Zadow schools. Chairman of the Substance Abuse program, Darcy Fridgen, visited the schools to present the winning stu-

dents with their certificates. The Substance Abuse Poster Contest encourages students in the 8-11 and 12-14 age groups to develop an original poster and slogan in the drug and alcohol abuse categories to discourage their peers from experimenting with drugs and alcohol. “It’s these children who make the

substance abuse program so successful,” said Fridgen. “It makes a huge difference to have the kids involved in these contests. “It really brings home what the future effects of alcohol and drug abuse can have on their friends and families. It’s all about awareness.”

Winners from Knights of Columbus Council 2082 in Arnprior are Brittany James of Walter Zadow Public School and Meredith Johnston and Heidi Landon of St. Joseph’s Catholic School. The three winners also took winning spots in the next level of the Substance Abuse Poster Contest,

District 41 of the Pembroke Diocese. The Arnprior Knights of Columbus Council 2082 thank the schools, their administration, the judges and all participants who took part in this year’s contest. “We hope to see them all again next year.”

OPP keep zero tolerance Province should help AECL: MPP on seatbelts this spring EMC news – The OPP has ended its week-long Spring Seatbelt campaign, but upset over continued no-compliance of some drivers they are stressing the no-tolerance policy will continue. From April 14 to 22, officers checked vehicles throughout the province and laid 5,585 seat belt related charges. The OPP was pleased to see no seat belt related fatalities during the campaign, but there were a reported eight people injured in collisions in which seat belt non-compliance was a factor. “Despite the fact that seat belt legislation has been around for over 35

years and has saved countless lives, one in four deceased occupants last year were not properly restrained,” said OPP Provincial Commander for Traffic Safety, Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey. “Not just this week, but every week, motorists can expect a zero tolerance approach to seat belt violations. Buckle up - it takes just a few seconds and one click of your seat belt to significantly reduce your chances of serious injury or death in a crash.” In 2011, 71 Ontarians lost their lives in collisions in which seat belt noncompliance was a factor.

EMC news – The provincial government should do more to assist the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories, says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. Yakabuski has asked the Minister of Economic Development Brad Duguid last week why his ministry has not contacted the federal government about the future of the laboratories. On Feb. 9, the federal government issued a request for expressions of interest to gauge stakeholder interest in participating in the future of the Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL) facilities. “Chalk River is home to Canada’s premier nuclear research facility, and the economic impact of its 3,000 highly-paid and skilled jobs on the local municipalities and economy is enormous,” Yakabuski said. The deadline for submissions expired April 2. Several municipal councils, including McNab-Brae-

side, sent letters to the federal government within the time-frame, while the County of Renfrew submitted a comprehensive expression of interest, despite its limited resources. By contrast, the provincial Ministry of Economic Development submitted no expression of interest, and had not even contacted the federal government to participate in the discussions. “Chalk River Laboratories is too important for the minister to stay sitting on the sidelines,” said the local MPP. The federal Ministry of Natural Resources has expressed a willingness to explore partnership opportunities with the Ontario government regarding the laboratories. “Ontario must request a seat at the table when the federal government is discussing the future of Chalk River Laboratories. Thousands of good jobs depend on it,” Yakabuski said.

Driver behaviour improving, but still a ways to go: OPP EMC news - The results are in for the Ontario Provincial Police’s 2011 traffic statistics and while most of last year’s statistic categories show an improvement over 2010, the OPP are looking for ways to improve safety on roads, waterways and trails this year. According to the Commissioner of the OPP, there are a number of ways to interpret the results of the 2011 statistics and it’s not all good news for the OPP and the people who drive in Ontario. “I’m pleased to see a reduction in most of the statistical categories for 2011, but when I look at the big picture, our officers laid more than 1.2-million charges in Ontario over the past two years,” said OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis. “The actions behind each of those charges in some way posed a risk to people’s safety, so there was the potential for fatality and collision numbers to be much higher in every category had our officers not caught up with these people when they did,” he added. According to Lewis, regardless of what traffic statistics look like from year to year, the bottom line is that the overwhelming majority of collisions, including fatalities, are dictated by driver behaviour. Eliminating most of these fatalities is very much within the grasp of motorists, said Lewis, and it’s as simple as paying due attention to and respecting traffic laws. “Since we implemented our award-winning Provincial Traffic Safety Program (PTSP) in 2007, we’ve seen a steady reduction in the rate of fatality and personal injury collisions in Ontario and these rates are the lowest Ontario has seen in 80 years,” said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey. “The difference between the number of charges we laid last year (2011) and those in 2010 is minimal. This means that our officers

are doing an excellent job of maintaining a strong presence throughout the province and this contributes to saving lives,” he added. Impaired driving, lack of occupant restraint, distracted driving and aggressive driving are the ‘Big Four’ causal factors and high-risk behaviours the OPP targets. The program incorporates high visibility, measurable outcomes, professional traffic stops and public education, and forms part of the OPP’s ongoing efforts to reduce collisions and save lives on Ontario roads, waterways and trails. The 2011 traffic statistics show: • 285 people were killed in motor vehicle collisions on roads in OPP jurisdiction in 2011, compared to 328 in 2010 (13.1 per cent decrease); • alcohol was a factor in 55 of the 2011 deaths, compared to 78 in 2010 (29.5 per cent decrease); • lack of occupant restraint was a factor in 71 of the 2011 fatalities, compared to 93 in 2010 (23.7 per cent reduction), while speed and distraction-related fatalities were only down slightly in 2011 from 2010; • 22 people died in marine incidents last year on OPP-patrolled waterways, compared to 28 in 2010 (21.4 per cent decrease); • OPP saw an increase in pedestrian deaths, with 29 pedestrians being killed in 2011, compared to 21 in 2010 (38.1 per cent increase). • 15 snowmobile fatalities in 2011, compared to 25 in 2010 (40 per cent decrease); • 14 off-road vehicle (ORV) deaths occurred in 2011, compared to 17 in 2010 (17.6 per cent decrease); • OPP laid 610,390 charges on roads, waterways and trails in OPP jurisdiction in 2011, compared to 612,419 charges in 2010 (0.3 per cent decrease).

Students purchase bowling set for nursing home Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – It is often lamented that Canadian society segregates people based on age. Kids are kept in schools and seniors in nursing homes or retirement residences. Rarely is there opportunity for the two to meet. Presumptions arise, fears are built up, and opportunities to learn are lost. None of that mattered to Grove Nursing Home residents and Grade 7 male students from St. Joseph’s Catholic

School on April 19. That’s because they were busy having a party, complete with party hats, friendship pins and a bowling set the students brought as a gift. According to principal Mary-Lise Rowat, the students put forward a “speak-up” grant proposal to purchase an accessible game for the residents. The kids attend the lodge monthly and were looking for a way to liven up their visits. The students formulated the $600 grant themselves and their proposal was accepted.

Meanwhile, the Grade 7 girls were at Galilee Centre listening to a well-being speaker and enjoying other activities. The events were part of the school’s ‘Share Lent’ campaign. It was filled with spirit days and fundraisers during the religious period. The children donated half of the money raised to the food bank and half to Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN). Rowat expected the total to be around $1,000. Lynn Smith from CPAN spoke to the students, explaining what the organization is all about.

The stump represented Mary’s fears and hatred EMC lifestyle - My brother Emerson said the sooner I got used to the tree stump, the better off I would be. Well, as far as I was concerned, if I lived to be 100, I would never get used to what was left of the big old elm tree behind the silo. To me, it represented everything I hated and feared, all rolled in one big bubble of emotion. I never knew if the big elm was cut down because it was too close to the silo, or if it was cut down because it served its final purpose so well. And even though it meant many more footsteps to avoid passing it, to me, it was a small price to pay to avoid going anywhere near the place I hated with a passion. If I circled far away, towards the gravel pit, on my way to the West Hill, and if I walked with my eyes barely opened, I could almost miss seeing the stump. But even at that distance, I could see what it was used for, and my stomach would churn every time I

came anywhere close. There was a small hatchet imbedded in the surface of the stump. And to me, it was as dreadful as the stump itself. Father had put a wide leather strap tightly around the stump as well, and stuck into the strap was an assortment of knives. These never found their way into the kitchen. And as far as I knew they were never washed. Probably just wiped clean on the grass, and stuck back into the leather strap waiting for their next piece of murderous business. This stump was where the chickens met their final fate. It was the

duty of my brothers to catch our Sunday dinner out of the chicken coop or the barn yard, grab it by its two legs and haul it over to the stump behind the silo. I tried to be anywhere but near the stump when Everett, Emerson or Earl were sent to do the dastardly deal. Only once did I actually hear the slaughter, and I never wanted to live through that experience again. It was a deadly “thunk,� and I pictured in my mind’s eye exactly what was happening, and it would take every bit of nerve in my body to enjoy Sunday dinner that night. This was the place too, where the brothers cleaned the mud pout

caught in the Bonnechere River. They would bring their catches up in a tin pail, lugging it up the hill to the stump. I could never understand how each of them, although mischievous, but never evil, could attack both a live chicken, and a mud pout, and bring either to its sudden death without a second thought. Although my sister Audrey would never in a hundred years, be asked to kill a chicken or clean a fish, she never seemed to harbour the fear and loathing I had of the stump behind the silo. Her explanation was simple enough, but never really did answer my concern. “It’s a man’s job� she would say. I never got close enough to the stump to know what the flat surface looked like after years of serving its murderous purpose. And there was never any attempt made to scrub it down with soap and water, which I always thought was the healthiest

thing to do after using it. And Mother, who was meticulous about clean food, never seemed to mind that the stump bore the results of goodness knows how many slaughters. I once asked her about this, and she said the rain takes care of cleaning it, and besides, everything coming off the stump was either, baked, fried or stewed. Although I was always considered one who had what Mother called a squeamish stomach, it was amazing to me how, when I sat down at the dinner or supper table to a roasted chicken, I was always able to put the stump behind the silo out of my mind. And it was a good thing too. Had I brought up visions of what the chicken, or any of the other farm animals that ended up on our table, had to endure before their trip to the Findlay Oval, I would surely have given up eating meat for the rest of my life.

FOOD

Water chestnuts are the secret ingredient in these meatballs EMC lifestyle - Water chestnuts, soy sauce and other seasonings add a different texture and lots of flavor to these meatballs. You can prepare these and cook them a day or so before you serve them for a quick start on a weekday supper. Just reheat them in the microwave to serve. They’re good served with rice or mashed potatoes. These meatballs are easy and quick to make. Baking meatballs in the oven is faster and more convenient than cooking them in a frying pan.

Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW BAKED ORIENTAL MEATBALLS

1/2 can sliced water chestnuts 1 egg

2 tbsp. parsley 2 slices onion, finely chopped 1 small clove garlic, minced 1 1/2 tbsp. cornstarch 1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce 1 lb. lean ground beef Prepare a baking sheet that has a lip around it by lining it with aluminum foil. Fold the foil up along each side to form a lip. This will make clean-up easier. Spray the foil with a cooking oil spray such as Pam. Drain the water chestnuts, and rinse with water. Take about half of the water chestnuts, and chop them

coarsely. Set the remaining water chestnuts aside for another use. Store them in a covered container in the refrigerator, and use within two to three days. (These can be sliced and added to cooked peas for a nice flavor combination.) In a medium bowl, combine the chopped water chestnuts with the egg, parsley, onion, garlic, cornstarch and soy sauce. Mix well. Add the ground beef to the mixture, and mix thoroughly. Form the meat mixture into meat-

balls about 1 1/2” in size. They may not hold the meatball shape, but that doesn’t matter. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes. The internal temperature will read 160F on a meat thermometer when they are done. Let sit on the baking sheet for at least five minutes. This makes it easier to lift them off without their breaking apart. Use a spatula to transfer the meatballs to a serving plate. Makes about 16 meatballs.

Members of the McNab-Braeside Fire Department will be defending their title of champions of the Renfrew County Rib Challenge, as members of the Renfrew Paramedic Service, the Renfrew Fire Department, Horton and Douglas volunteer fire departments, and the Central Ambulance Communications Centre challenge the crew from McNab-Braeside to win the trophy and bragging rights as Champion rib grillers. All these First Responders will be trading in their uniforms for aprons and barbecuing ribs in the third annual Renfrew Rib Challenge. It

all takes place at the Renfrew Land Ambulance Base at 450 O’Brien Rd. in Renfrew from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The ribs will be judged by a blue ribbon panel, including Arnprior’s Derek Dunn, an expert in all things pork. In addition to ribs, there will also be hamburgers, hot dogs and other food items for sale. All proceeds will go to purchase defibrillators to be placed in various community locations in the County of Renfrew. Once again, Tracey’s Dairy of Renfrew will be on site to hand out free samples of their ice cream and there will also be a large Kidz Zone administered by the Child’s Paradise Day Care Centre and sponsored by Ontario Power Gen-

eration. Along with the many activities taking place, children will be able to explore ambulances, fire trucks, police cars and other emergency vehicles. Music will be provided by MYFM Radio. “The response and support from the community is incredible,” said County of Renfrew media relations co-ordinator Bruce McIntyre. “We have over 400 pounds of ribs and they sell out quickly.” The event has expanded to include neighbouring First Responders who wanted to join in the fun and showcase their services.

Amazing deals on the coolest events, restaurants, fashion finds, activities & adventures

Pizza fundraiser runs to Sunday EMC business – Pizza Pizza’s Slices for Smile fundraiser kicked off Monday and runs through this Sunday, April 29. The ovens are hot and the company is ready to bake its way to the goal of raising $1 million for children’s charities across Canada. The week-long fundraiser will mark the return of smile-shaped pizza slices for $2 and medium pepperoni pizzas for $4.99 at Pizza Pizza locations across the country, including 1993

Arnprior. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these menu items will go to the company’s Slices for Smiles Foundation. The foundation will donate funds raised to Children’s Miracle Network and its member hospitals across Canada. Customers can also donate to the cause through the Pizza Pizza iPhone app, online orders at PizzaPizza.ca, in-store or via its call centre.

“With all the activity, there will be plenty to see and do,” said McIntyre. “There will be entertainment, and this competition also helps raise funds for local AEDs. These devices can make the difference between life and death for someone suffering from cardiac arrest and they have helped save lives right here in Renfrew County. “So come on out and meet your local First Responders and try the best ribs to be found anywhere.” Rib dinners will be selling for $7 and this family event is open to the general public.

Among the youth expo activities was an art show featuring the work of Arnprior and District High School students.

O’Brien living the dream with Senators It’s not a dream anymore, Jim O’Brien. The Ottawa Senators forward can’t help smiling as he recalls the days of his youth back home in Minnesota, when the arrival of spri ng meant following his hockey heroes intently as they chased the Stanley Cup. All of it a magical scene to a young boy’s eyes. “You sit there, you watch it and you’re just kind of excited,” said O’Brien, the Senators’ first-round pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft (29th overall). “You have your teams that you like, your players that you like and you’re watching them and cheering for them. It almost feels like you go through the ups and downs with them.” All these years later, O’Brien is still riding that wave of playoff emotion. Except he’s right in the middle of it as someone who’s grown into a role of some importance with the Senators since his callup from the American Hockey League’s Binghamton Senators at the beginning of February.

Since being called up from the Binghamton Senators in early February, Jim O’Brien has grown into a key role player with the big club in Ottawa, which led him to experience the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time (Photo by Andre

He’s been an effective penalty killer for head coach Paul MacLean and produced some of Ottawa’s best scoring chances during the firstround series against the New York Rangers. His slick backhand drop pass set up the overtime winner by Kyle Turris in Game 4.

The wild, raucous scene at Scotiabank Place during the Eastern Conference quarterfinal, the intensity of it all ... yes, O’Brien is truly living the dream these days. “Coming in, I said (to myself) ‘I’ve always been watching the Stanley Cup playoffs since I was

a little boy and now this year, it’s a little different,’” said O’Brien, a 23-year-old native of Maplewood, Minn. “I’m still going to be watching the other games, but now I’m playing in them, too. It’s a pretty cool feeling.” O’Brien was first summoned from Binghamton on Feb. 3 to help fill the void at centre caused by the absence of Jesse Winchester, whose absence from the lineup due to a concussion wound up lasting almost until the end of March. While Winchester returned for the start of the playoffs, there is no removing O’Brien from the lineup. He’s been that effective. Still, the 6-2, 200pound centre never

envisioned his callup lasting 28 games — including his first career National Hockey League goal back on Feb. 15 in Sunrise, Fla., against the Panthers (he’s added two more since then, along with three assists) — and then carrying on into the playoffs. “To be honest, when I got called up, I wasn’t thinking much more ahead than just the day at hand,” said O’Brien. “I’ve just got to get through this practice, I’ve got to make sure I’m getting better, I’ve got to make sure I’m good in this game, I’m doing this good ... so I mean no, I didn’t really look ahead to the next week, let alone to the playoffs.” Now that he’s here, O’Brien — one of the “Bingo Boys” on the current Senators roster who helped the B-Sens claim the Calder Cup a year ago — hoped to draw on that AHL playoff experience to help him now. “Everything’s up a level, but it’s the same kind of stuff down there. Just not as big,” O’Brien said of the AHL playoff grind. “You get the big emotional swings in the series and you get the ups and downs and changes in momentum. The only way to learn how to deal with it is to go through it a time or two. I’m feeling like I’ve gone through it (already). I feels like I’m better versed to handle it now.”

WHEN TO WATCH: Senators players salute the fans at Scotiabank Place last week after edging the New York Rangers 3-2 in overtime in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference quarter-final series. The Senators played before loud, sellout crowds at home throughout the first-round affair, showing the playoff excitement generated by the team (Photo by Andre Ringuette/NHLI via Getty Images).

When Dutch Elm disease devastated that segment of the forest industry, a large number of ash trees were planted. Now those trees are the new victim, this time to the ash emerald borer. The invasive species has been confirmed in Ottawa and Kanata, and it’s just a matter of time before it moves into Renfrew County, says County of Renfrew forestry manager Jeff Muzzi. “The next stop is Renfrew County, so it is coming,� he told Admaston-Bromley council at a recent meeting. And while the County of Renfrew does not have the resources to take any direct action, it is committed to educating the public and municipal councils on the pending infestation. Muzzi said the invasive species will likely make its way here in the back of someone’s half-ton truck, most likely

county will be identified as a quarantine zone and wood won’t be allowed to be transported outside the county. This could have a huge impact on the logging industry in Renfrew County. He said the urban and rural impacts range from financial issues such as liability, decreased property value, and the cost of street tree removal in towns and cities, to broader ecological and social impacts. Muzzi urges the public to not transport firewood from a quarantined area, and not plant any more ash. He also The telltale signs of ash-borers are all over this tree. recommends property owners take an inventory of ash trees on their land, “This is just the tip of the iceberg,� he said of perhaps through a low-cost partnership with the recent focus on the pale-bellied frost lichen, Algonquin College. which grows on ironwood, fences and rocks. “What’s I’m suggesting is to come up with a Muzzi suggested the focus next year will be plan (of action),� Muzzi told council. on the Blanding’s turtle because “someone in “Every native ash tree here is vulnerable,� Toronto decided they’re rare.� he said.

EMC news – The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced last week it has expanded the ministerial order for the emerald ash borer to include new areas of Ontario and Quebec. New areas regulated for the emerald ash borer include the Manitoulin district and Montreal and area. The existing regulated area, which includes Ottawa, the united counties of Leeds and

Grenville and part of the city of Gatineau, now also takes in the united counties of Prescott and Russell and the rest of Gatineau. Under the Emerald Ash Borer Infested Places Order, the movement of all ash tree materials and all firewood will be restricted. Transporting firewood is a common way for invasive pests to spread, as the ash borer remains hidden under the bark. For more information, visit www.inspection.gc.ca/pests.
