NEWS
EMC news - It’s finally over. Antrim Truck Stop owner Jack Cameron and his legal team are celebrating a victory that has implications across the province and comes after a lengthy battle that went all the way to the Supreme Court. In a decision announced March 7, the Supreme Court has agreed the province’s decision to reroute Highway 17 would have effectively closed the truck stop, had it not been relocated. The moving of the highway during its expansion to four lanes was made with no offer of compensation to Cameron. “He feels somewhat vindicated,” said Cameron’s lawyer Shane Rayman of Rueter Scargall Bennett. “And he’s happy that it’s now over. This has been gnawing away at him since the early 1980s. It took up money and time and resources and created a lot of stress for the Cameron family.” When the provincial Ministry of Transportation four-laned Highway 17 in 2004, the truck stop wound up nearly two kilometres from the rerouted highway. Cameron moved the business to the outskirts of Arnprior. And then he took the province to the Ontario Municipal Board, asking for damages. Cameron’s basic claim was expropriation without compensation. Moving the highway effectively closed the business or would have had it not been relocated, he maintained. Under Ontario’s Expropriation Act, property owners can be compensated for a decline in market value, even without official expropriation. See CAMERONS, Page 3

Camerons happy lengthy court battle over
Land claims meeting today Continued from front
Continued from front
Cameron sought $8.2 million in compensation and was awarded $393,000, a decision that MTO appealed. The case went before the Ontario Court of Appeal, where the reward was overturned and Cameron was denied any compensation. Initially, Cameron was awarded damages for injurious affection, part of Ontario’s Expropriations Act, in which a business is compensated if construction affects them financially. The Ontario Superior Court of Appeal side with the government, saying the highway extension served the public and that leaving the Antrim Truck Stop near the road would have interfered with the project. On Thursday, March 7, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled the Court of Appeal should not have set aside the OMB’s decision and restored its compensation order, as well as awarding limited appeal costs. Rayman is thrilled with the victory and said the entire experience has been amazing. “For me it was already a win as a lawyer as soon as I got leave to appeal,� said Rayman. “It’s been a wonderful experience.� He explained that what was needed to be proven to win the right to appeal was that the case is one of national and public importance, not whether the Court of Appeal’s decision was right or wrong. The Supreme Court decision was unanimous, something Rayman wasn’t expecting. “I hoped to win, but I always knew it was an uphill battle because it was a unanimous decision at court of appeal. I would have thought it would be a divided (Supreme) court.� In terms of implications, Rayman said there are two. “First, is the Court of Appeal decision pretty much closed the door on virtually all but the most extreme claims for
There have been public meetings in several locations, including Ottawa and Perth last week. The information sessions on the land claims process and the preliminary draft agreement-in-principle continues in Pembroke today (Thursday). As explained in a story in the Feb. 28 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, the March 14 meeting will take place at the Best Western Pembroke Inn and Conference Centre at 1 International Dr. just off Highway 17. While the full information session runs from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., the negotiators will be providing an overview of the negotiation process at 6:30 p.m. That will take about half an hour. A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation.

injurious affection where no land is taken,� he said. “The Supreme Court decision doesn’t expand the law that already existed, but it reverses closing the door.� Secondly, said Rayman, the entire law of nuisance was examined. When a person disturbs someone’s property rights and creates damage, the Court of Appeal said they look at the utility of defendant’s conduct and balance that with the injury to property. Ontario argued the highway expansion was benefitting the public. Rayman said he did not argue that every property owner affected by a highway should be compensated. Tall mast lighting along the 401, for ex-
ample, is a minor disturbance that might make a house slightly less desirable for purchase but doesn’t warrant compensation. “You could not expect the government to compensate for all injury,� he said. “But when there’s a property owner who suffers unreasonable and disproportionate burden, some form of compensation is warranted.� The ruling will be viewed with interest as the four-laning of Highway 17 continues up the Valley past Arnprior and eventually to Pembroke. Cameron purchased Antrim Truck Stop in 1978 from his mother-in-law. The business offers fuel, truck centre and scales, a restaurant, and the God and Country gift shop.

EMEMC news – Approval of the Town of Arnprior’s 2013 budget has been tentatively set for April 22. CAO Michael Wildman presented the necessary steps for budget deliberations during the town council meeting on March 11. This year’s budget process is taking longer than usual. “We have taken a bit more time to get through this and get this before council,” said Wildman. ”But we were very cognizant of the direction that council wants in respect of the strategic plan to have a sustainable financial model.” Council held a consultation session with members of the public and interested groups in mid-January. “They did come forward and make some representations to the council,” said Wildman. “Those will be included in the package as background.” Among the requests were safety improvements to the area around the Daniel-Staye Court Drive intersection and a larger allotment to the Arnprior Humane Society for its shelter. For several months, town staff has examined the budget and decided that each department should ad-
here to a pay-as-you-go model. “We are looking not to be looking for any additional borrowing or lending,” said Wildman. The items to be put in the budget for council consideration are considered mandatory for the smooth running of the town. These items are statutory requirements or things that council may have already directed staff to do such as the town hall review. Other desired but optional items are being kept separate from the budget. They will be prioritized and itemized and council will be able to pick and choose what they deem important. The town CAO and the Director of Corporate Services will present the draft budget to council on April 8. They will answer questions and explain the finer details found within. The Library Board, the Airport Commission and the Museum Board should also make their budget requests on that date, said Wildman. The following week will be set aside for budget deliberations and a possible approval is set for April 22, he said. “With the comprehensive review, staff is comfortable that the information that we are providing is well informed and will provide council with the background and the assurances they need to approve that 2013 budget,” he added.

Last call for Priorpalooza acts EMC events – The deadline for musical acts to apply to play Priorpalooza has been extended to March 31. Coun. Lynn Grinstead reports the organizing committee has received a large number of offers to play at the Arnprior festival June 8 in Robert Simpson Park. However, a few more would be welcome, especially for the Christian/gospel and children’s songs segments. Priorpalooza builds on the well-attended Arn-
prior 150th anniversary celebration last June. It is anticipated to become an annual event in the tradition of Salute to the Valley. The event will showcase and promote the work of local musical artists, celebrate Arnprior’s heritage, attract tourists and encourage a sense of community. Musicians can pick up application forms at Arnprior town hall. Volunteers to help with the festival are also needed. For more information, email Grinstead at lgrinstead@sympatico.ca.

Fair board holding logo contest Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
EMC news – The Arnprior Fair is preparing for an entirely fresh new look, beginning with its logo. Board member Monica Schnob said the current logo has been around for many years, but portrays a clown and other outdated images. “We are a brand new fair board with lots of excitement and lots of energy,” Schnob said. “We’d like to have a better designed logo, something that says agriculture and fair and everything you’d expect.” Hence a contest. Everyone from amateur to professional is invited to submit their creation for a chance to win $100 and two weekend-passes to this summer’s fair. The logo will appear on official letterhead, on the website, and in advertisements. Schnob said submissions can be done on computer, by hand, in black and white or colour, or any other way that allows the creative juices to flow. Include your name and contact information on the back of your submission. The winner will be selected by the board before May 4. It will be unveiled that night at the first ever Ranch Night dance, being held by the fair board at 8 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. Submissions can be dropped off, in hardcopy format, at the front desk of the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, 8 McGonigal St. W., Arnprior, ON, K7S 1L8. The Arnprior Fair will run Aug. 8 to 11 this year.
Deadlines changing EMC news – A change in press time for the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide has resulted in new deadlines for submitted copy. People submitting letters to the editor, community write-ups, sports stories and photographs should have them into the editor by 5 p.m. Friday the week before publication. Articles and photographs from weekend events should be submitted by 9 a.m. Monday. Despite the changes, the ChronicleGuide will continue to be a Thursday newspaper.

Health officials look to the public for advice Community ambassdors asked to share ideas with ARH pleobeuf@metroland.com
EMC news - Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) is turning to community members to collect ideas to improve its health services. CEO and president of ARH Eric Hanna gathered together community leaders, nicknamed ambassadors, on March 6 in order to pick their brains. “What we need to do as an organization is to find different alternatives and look to people on where the organization is going,” he said. “If we are doing well, if we are not doing well, etc.” The group was made up of a combination of newcomers as well as long-timers rooted in the community.
This allowed for different opinions, experiences and priorities to get equal air time. ARH includes an umbrella of local health care providers, most prominetly Arnprior District Memorial Hospital and the Grove Nursing Home. The ambassador meetings do not always focus on all sorts of health issues that the community may face, said Hanna. SHARING IDEAS
The private sector and the public sector approach problems differently and can learn from each other. “Sometimes we are not looking at all the potential options because we are relying too much on the past,” he said.
THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS
“If you bring in some new people from the outside, they may bring in new ideas.” Some of the issues that were brought up during the meeting were familiar. “People know where the biggest gaps are for services and this confirms that,” said Hanna. Promoting services has been a continuous issue. Many patients are unaware of all the ARH and other community health services. These essential community services can be discovered by dialing 211. The close proximity to the City of Ottawa is at the same time a boon and a curse. Many health care practitioners are initially drawn to Arnprior, but later move to the city.
Partnering up with private sector care may prove to be a way of offering better treatment for the elderly, said Hanna. Other partnerships such as with paramedics, long-term care homes, hospices, nurse practitioners and other health service providers have become important avenues to explore. “People that we talked to in the community said that they want to see a more seamless delivery system between different providers,” said Hanna. “The (ARH) board has been really clear on supporting partnerships down the road and now it’s a matter

OPPORTUNITIES
of which ones are the biggest benefit to the community we service,” he added. Better communication with patients, health care providers and partners is also important. In the past, the ARH did not consult much with outsiders to address its issues or present any news. Much of its communication was one-way, but this will change. Communication will become more of a conversation with the ARH looking to outsiders to offer solutions to different issues. “This two-way engagement and talking about the opportunities is much more likely to be successful,” said Hanna.

OPINION

EDITORIAL
Time to make it a spring break The response to a recent web poll in the Chronicle-Guide indicates there is some discontent regarding the timing of March break. A few respondents wanted the break from school (and from work for many) expanded to two weeks as is the case in provinces such as British Columbia. Some people actually want the week-long break eliminated all-together, although thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to happen. Too much is invested economically in giving people an opportunity to take a week off for a late winter holiday without their youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;uns losing a week of school. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance for merchants and travel agents to encourage people to spend away their winter blues. However, the week-long break could be scheduled sometime else rather than midMarch. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often referred to as Spring Break, which is a misnomer, as spring rarely arrives until after the week is over. So perhaps it should be made into a real Spring Break by moving it to late April or early May. Especially now we have a Family Day long weekend in February. Then maybe more people would holiday, and spend, closer to home instead of fleeing to warmer climes. But it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the ski hills and airlines happy. However, the way global warming is upset-
ting our winters, it may not be too long when ski hills and other winter sports will be long over by mid-March. Another train of thought is that the weeklong break be moved around in conjunction with Easter. That way the two late-winter/earlyspring breaks would be combined into one. It would still give people the full week off, yet mean students would miss one less day of school. The missing school aspect seems to be a factor in some peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking, especially as the number of snow days appears to be increasing as our weather becomes more bizarre. The Easter Break link would also give the break an extra meaning, although only for Christians. Another respondent was so bold to suggest that the week-long break from school shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in March or spring-time at all. It should be in the first week of November, to coincide with hunting season, said the lad, who obviously has deep roots in the Valley. Sorry fella, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a few years since the schools closed down in these parts so sons could accompany their fathers in the annual trek to the hunt camp. No, March break should stay at least close to where it is now. Probably the best solution would be to schedule it so the first day of spring falls within the week. That way we could all really have a Spring Break.
Web Poll LETTER
Land claims costly, favours one group To the Editor: In late December my husband and I received a document in the mail informing us that the Crown land adjacent to our cottage on Hurds Lake was one of two parcels that had been proposed to be part of the Algonquin of Ontario Land Claim. We had heard of the Algonquin Land Claim but had no idea that our small lake and other small lakes in the area were part of the proposal. The document and the rough inaccurate maps that were sent left us with many questions and concerns. There have been a number of government sessions in different regions this month to provide information to the public about the land claim, but unfortunately they have not been well advertised. Representatives from the Algonquins, provincial, and federal governments are at these meetings to talk with individuals one-on-one. There are also presentations from a lawyer representing each group followed by questionand-answer period. These meetings are supposed to provide the public with information so that they can have input into the process.

I learned that the Algonquin people were the only aboriginal people in Ontario who have never had a signed treaty and this letter is not about if I think they should have this land claim or not. This letter is about the process that was kept from the public and the extraordinary cost to the Ontario taxpayers of this single land claim. Under the constitution, levels of government are not obliged to inform the public of the possible contents of a treaty until an agreement-inprinciple or AIP has been drafted. Municipal, provincial and the federal governments were asked to sign confidentiality forms to keep the negotiations from the public. I feel a huge sense of betrayal from all three levels of government but especially from the municipality of Greater Madawaska to who we pay our taxes. The municipality knowing that the future of our cottage property is changing still continues to raise taxes that we now pay more for the cottage than our permanent residence which is also in Greater Madawaska. The AIP of this land claim transfers not less than 117,500 acres of crown land and $300 million to the Algonquins of Ontario.

Algonquin Land claim negotiations have always been open, respectful To the Editor: As your readers may be aware, Canada, Ontario and the Algonquins of Ontario have been working together for a number of years to resolve an historic Aboriginal land claim. A negotiated settlement of the Algonquin land claim would produce Ontario’s first modern-day, constitutionally protected treaty. In December 2012, the negotiators reached a milestone in the negotiation process with the public release of the Preliminary Draft Agreement-in-Principle. While this is not a final product, it is a significant development in the negotiations process. This Preliminary Draft Agreement-in-Principle sets out the main elements of a potential settlement, which would include: • the transfer of certain Crown lands to Al-
gonquin ownership; • $300 million as settlement capital provided by Canada and Ontario; and • defined Algonquin rights related to lands and natural resources. No new reserves will be created. Algonquin Park will be preserved for the enjoyment of all, and land will not be expropriated from private owners as a result of the settlement. Even after an agreement-in-principle is in place, there are still several years of work ahead, including another stage of negotiations and consultations, before a final agreement is reached. We have already set a national precedent in terms of the amount of information that is being made publicly available prior to the initialling
of an agreement-in-principle; this is out of respect for the wide variety of interests in such a large, highly populated landscape. Resolving this claim will allow the Algonquin people and their neighbours to build a stronger regional economy and enhance the culture and relationships that already exist within
the region. Our goal throughout is to reach a settlement that is sensitive to the interests of all people who live, work and enjoy this part of Ontario. Brian A. Crane Chief Ontario Negotiator
Land claims process too long, expensive A brochure from the Algonquins states that as of 2012 there were 8,700 Algonquins eligible to vote on the AIP. This land claim has been in process since 1991. What has it cost taxpayers to pay lawyers, negotiators, and countless other people to develop this treaty? We were told that it could be between 6 to 10 years before this is complete. The panel of lawyers was asked what the cost to date has been and was there any kind of budget or time line to complete the treaty. There was no answer given. The population of eastern Ontario is approximately 1.7 million and the Algonquin population approximately 10,000. In a country that
Braeside Home Furnishings
boasts equality for all it citizens, the math in this land claim does not show equality. We are living in a time where almost all of our social institutions are running a deficit. Canadians are being forced to take wage freezes, taxes continue to climb, and most of us will have to work longer to be eligible to receive the government pension we have paid into all of our lives. The issue is how can our governments have limited budgets for services like health care and education that benefit all Canadians, yet seem to have unlimited budget for a population of only 10,000.

With March weather comes the snow walkers EMC lifestyle - Overnight it seems that spring has arrived. White-breasted Nuthatches now sing with penetrating vibrato and woodpeckers incessantly tap passionate drum rolls. Ravens and Gray Jays are already sitting on eggs, and all through our area Snow Walkers are active. Several types of small animals are now visible atop the snow. Most common are tiny insects known as Springtails or Snow Fleas. I think it safe to say you will never find a solitary Snow Flea. Usually dozens, hundreds, thousands, or even millions are encountered; at times they darken the snow. The “flea” reference arises from their unusual mode of locomotion. These pepper grain-sized, wingless insects use an under-the-belly pole vault system to launch themselves
many times their body length (which is around 2 mm). Because of their unique way of moving, I think of Snow Fleas as “Snow Hoppers.” other Michael Runtz tinyButinsects do Nature’s Way walk on top of the snow. One of these is an unusual Crane Fly: Chionea valga, the Snow Fly. In summer we see Crane Flies that look like Mosquitoes on steroids. Fortunately, they don’t possess the piercing mouthparts so willingly used by Mosquitoes to draw our blood. While they have the long legs and
small heads characteristic of other Crane Flies, Snow Flies have no wings and are a mere five mm long. Their mouthparts are reduced and it is suspected that a liquid diet is all they handle. These odd flies determinedly stroll across the snow at speeds that allow them to be easily captured for closer viewing. Snow Flies are most active on the snow at temperatures between -5° C and 0° C. They survive sub-zero conditions by using the antifreeze glycerol to keep their body liquids fluid - a phenomenon known as supercooling. Other winter-active insects and spiders also supercool. When the mercury drops too low for supercooling to work, Snow Flies move to warmer sites, primarily the subnivean space under the snow. In other times of year Snow Flies

Favourite haunts are the underground burrows of rodents where it is suspected they devour the droppings of their hosts. Much remains unknown concerning Snow Flies. No one knows how long the adults live, but around two weeks seems the best guess.

It is uncertain why in late winter they walk on top of the snow. Mating seems the most likely purpose. If Snow Flies stayed in their underground dens, there would be less chance of meeting a non-related Snow Fly. By walking across the snow, an unrelated partner might be found, which is always better for gene flow. After mating, the females disappear underground to lay their eggs. Snow Flies are most active in late afternoon or on overcast days. Look for dark dots moving across the snow in hardwood forests. Beware, however, that there are other snow walkers. One of these is the Snow Scorpion – an animal I have never seen. If you find one of those, please give me a call! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.
WeatherNetwork calls for warm spring Joe Lofaro
EMC news - Haters of winter, rejoice. The Weather Network has released its spring 2013 outlook and is calling for above normal temperatures in Ottawa and area for March, April, and May. But don’t expect the heat wave that brought 20 C temperatures to the region last March to make a comeback, said meteorologist Gina Ressler. “That was very much above normal and really an exception,” said Ressler. “I think it’s going to be a gradual kind of increase in temperatures.” The averages for March, April, and May hover
around 2 C, 10-11 C, and 19-20 C, respectively. So, The Weather Network is predicting temperatures to be slightly above those averages. As for precipitation, Ressler says the area can expect near normal amounts of rain or snow. “What that kind of means is it’s kind of an equal chance of being above normal or below normal in terms of precipitation,” she said, adding that precipitation outlook is generally more unpredictable than the temperature forecast. The outlook for Ottawa and the Valley resembles that of most of southern and eastern Ontario. -Torstar News Service

Arnprior museum to see improvements Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com
EMC news -The Arnprior and District Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second floor will receive a costly redesign to accommodate a new world class exhibit system. Council was approached by museum curator Janet Carlile to approve of the expenditure of $20,044 from its own reserves. These funds will help cover the cost of implementing a Q-Bit exhibit system, an award-winning display method. The museum received them from the Canadian Museum of Civilization (CMC) in Gatineau and they are valued at over $250,000. To fit this display system within the second floor space, two people will have to be hired. An intern to design the actual exhibit and take charge creating storyboards for the story lines, labeling, planning rotation and more. A professional would design the space and arrange the Q-Bit system to allow for correct traffic flow, floor coverage and lighting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be someone who will have the actual knowledge and experience of looking at the space, which is on the second floor, and putting it (Q-Bit system) in that space,â&#x20AC;? said Carlile. Such a person can come at a hefty price tag.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;In discussions with various exhibit planners with the CMC, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told that the cost of having someone look at the space could be in excess of $100,000,â&#x20AC;? said Carlile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I fell off my heels when that was discussed.â&#x20AC;? She has set a firm limit at $30,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that we would have volunteers who will be doing all the labour means that it will probably be less, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to come and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It could be more,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Carlile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more. I expect it to be less.â&#x20AC;? Part of design fee will be funded by a generous anonymous donor who bestowed $20,000 towards this goal, said Carlile. The reminder of which will need to be financed from the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reserves. The reserve funds would also help pay for an intern who will help Carlile with the exhibits. Carlile applied for an $8,942 grant from the Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP), but the total costs of the intern would be $18,986. The remaining $10,044 would be financed from the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reserve. In April, the museum will begin restoring its second story windows and will carry on until the end of October, said Carlile. Once completed, the exhibits will take much less time to put up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The actual spatial concept that will take just a couple of months,â&#x20AC;? she added.
White Pine Festival to stay downtown this year, car show, hockey to be added EMC events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Once again it is time to remind everyone that plans for the Arnprior White Pine Festival are beginning to take shape with numerous new wrinkles this year. The festival will be held Aug. 23 to 25. It will be the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth year and organizers are excited, anticipating it will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;even bigger and better year if Mother Nature is controlling the weather and stays with us.â&#x20AC;? There have been three great years with about an average of 8,000-plus spectators attending, noted festival spokesman Art Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have numerous new things we will be trying,â&#x20AC;? he explained. First, the festival will not be back down at the park in 2013. This year the festival will be held both Saturday and Sunday up town as the park is being used by the Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dance competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was felt by us that there really was not enough room for both groups to be successful,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also it gives us a chance to see how the business owners downtown feel about all the people on the sidewalks for two days, which can certainly increase their weekend sales.â&#x20AC;? In order to enhance the festival, organizers have approached all area service groups about being part the event by adding some activities that will benefit all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased to announce that at this time it seems all groups
are interested and will be part with us,â&#x20AC;? said Smith. He noted that there will be numerous vendors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope we can attract all the ones from past years with other interested new ones.â&#x20AC;? As well, â&#x20AC;&#x153;several events and music groups (are) in our sights,â&#x20AC;? he said. Organizers are hoping that this year they will be able to hold both a softball tournament as in the past as well as something new, an over-40 hockey tournament on the Saturday.

EMC news – Now that nominations have closed, the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce is finalizing the nominees for Large Business, Small Business and Chamber Member of the Year awards. The winners will be announced at the ninth annual Business Achievements Awards ceremony on Thursday, April 11 at the Nick Smith Centre. The Town of Arnprior has changed their award this year, and Mayor David Reid will be presenting a Volunteer of the Year Award instead of large and small business awards. Mayor Mary Campbell will present the Township of McNab-Braeside Business Appreciation and Agriculture Appreciation awards. Both mayors are remaining secretive as to who the recipients of their respective awards will be. The chamber encourages everyone to buy tickets ahead of time as they will not be available at the door. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., followed by a buffet dinner at 6 p.m. with the award ceremony starting at 7:30 p.m. There will be time to socialize and celebrate with the recipients following the ceremony. Tickets are on sale for $35 per person only until April 5, and are available by calling the Chamber office at 613-623-6817 or from any executive member. “We look forward to seeing you there and thank everyone for their support,” said Zillah Briscoe of the chamber.
TOSH Steakhouse and Bar, and the Cedar Cove Lakeside Grill. Some dates and restrictions may apply and it is recommended diners call ahead to make reservations, indicating that they would like to experience Valleylicious. Criteria for the program were developed after consultation with other communities, as well as with the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance. The County of Renfrew, working with the Ottawa Valley Economic Development Partners Group, is looking towards the future of culinary tourism in this area and is hoping Valleylicious plays a complementary role in many of the culinary offerings and events that happen in Valley communities throughout the year. A full list of the restaurants that are participating in Valleylicious and their menus and an interactive map are available online at www. OttawaValley.Travel/Valleylicious.

Elementary school Arnprior applies extracurriculars still a no-go for healthy lifestyle grant John Carter John.carter@metroland.com
Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com
EMC news - To promote healthy living, Arnprior council has approved the application of a grant to the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund (OSRCF). The grant would help establish the two-year “Get the Ball Rolling” project focused on developing a healthier, physically active community. It would have a budget of $40,000 and the town would have to supply 10 per cent. The yearly cost of $2,000 would come out of the recreation department operating budget’s special events account, explained director of recreation services Glenn Arthur. The project is based off the ‘Arnprior Gets Healthy’ program, which aimed at promoting and fostering healthy lifestyle in children and teens. There is no age restriction with the proposed project. “It’s looking at increasing the wealth of health and fitness lifestyles in Renfrew County, starting in Arnprior,” said Arthur. The grant would allow programs to be further developed such as the ‘Lean To’ program. It teaches people the skills they need to participate in a plethora of different sports. That will be expanded, said Arthur. Receiving the grant will allow six students to be hired for the High School Ambassador program. This student staff will help with afterschool activities, the ‘Learn To’ programs and more. They will also heighten the engagement
for the Pan/Parapan American Games, which will be held in Toronto in 2015, said Arthur. The Caruso, Legion and Optimist parks will be used for the Supervised Summer Play program. The student ambassadors will be on hand to help the kiddos have fun in a safe, free-range environment. It will be free and held every day. The idea of cycling the ambassadors through different parks was brought up by council, but shot down for the foreseeable future. At the end of the two years, Arthur would like to organize a conference with the Physical Activity Network of Renfrew County. It would involve workshops, speakers and attendees who would share the knowledge gained during the project’s duration. “Based on the Supervised Play program, we’ll do a resource which we will share with Renfrew County and allow us to tell them how it went, what equipment we have that can be borrowed outright and brought back to us to encourage use of physical activity stuff,” said Arthur. Several organizations including the Ontario Provincial Police, Renfrew County Health Unit, Renfrew County school boards, Forzani Group and Jump Start have offered their partnership. The project ultimately fits right in with the town’s strategic plan to encourage healthy lifestyles as it allows anybody regardless of age or finances to participate, he said.

EMC news – Several extracurricular activities have resumed on the secondary school front in Renfrew County, but the same can’t be same in the public elementary schools. Prior to the March break, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) announced it will not follow the lead of the secondary school teachers union, as it is continuing to advise its members not to participate in extracurricular activities. In a surprise move Ontario Federation of Secondary School Teachers agreed last month to recommend its members end their avoiding of extra-curriculars. While it came too late to save the full schedule for winter sports such as girls volleyball and boys basketball, the Arnprior District High School teams did manage to play an abbreviated schedule. The senior boys team made it all the way to the provincial championship despite the teacher-government dispute. The new accommodation has raised expectations that spring sports, including soccer, rugby and track and field, will go ahead as normal. Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association representatives are scheduled to meet on March 19 at Opeongo High School to discuss sports schedules. However, not all teachers are going back to
involvement in extra-curriculars, at least not until the contract imposed on them is up in August 2014. For instance, it appears Renfrew County public schools will not be participating in the Sears drama festival this year. Meanwhile, public school elementary students are not likely to be enjoying concerts, track meets and field trips this school year to the disappointment of students, parents and school trustees. In a news release, Education Minister Liz Sandals said the government is pleased with the commitment by the EFTO to continue to work with the government to find meaningful ways to address the issues facing the education sector, “but it is disappointed that ETFO has decided not to resume the voluntary provision of extracurricular activities at this time.” Extracurricular activities enrich the educational experience of both students and teachers, she added. “While we have experienced a marked and welcome change in the Wynne government’s approach to addressing its relationship with teachers, this has yet to translate into real change,” said ETFO president Sam Hammond in a news release. “In these circumstances, ETFO’s advice regarding voluntary/ extra-curricular activities remains unchanged,” he added. The ETFO is lobbying the province to repeal the imposed contracts and begin again with good faith collective bargaining.

I wish I could break it up into 100 pieces because there are 100 more people more deserving. “It has been my pleasure to serve the community and I will continue to do so.”
EMC news – Four Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals were handed out at the Mississippi Mills Town council meeting on March 5. The four recipients were Mayor John Levi, Coun. Denzil Ferguson, Patricia Kennedy and Nancy Fulton. The medals are a tangible way to mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s accession to the throne. Levi presented the first medal to Fulton, who is a resident of Cedar Hill and has been involved in a number of volunteer organizations. “Nancy has been a tireless worker and volunteer in her community for over 30 years,” said Levi. “She has served on many committees and it is a pleasure to present this Queen’s Jubilee medal to you.” Kennedy was recognized for her countless hours spent volunteering at the Fairview Manor, so many people often mistake her as one of the residents. www.farhorizons.ca “You can always pick her out in a crowd because she always has a smiling face, a kind and encouraging word but most im0314.R0011969874 portantly portrays Tillie a very humble unassuming manBastien ner,” said Levi.

EMC news – While there’s been controversy surrounding the federal government’s awarding of the Queen’s diamond jubilee medals with several Ottawa Valley mayors opting to return them, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell has announced she’ll be keeping hers. “Certainly, I was initially somewhat taken aback by the nomination and agree with my colleagues that there are many deserving individuals who serve our community, as there have been several invitations to nominate their recognition,” Campbell said at council’s March 5 meeting. “However, I see the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ nomination, on behalf of the Government of Canada, of municipal leaders as a special recognition for the service provided by municipal government. The importance of the role of municipal government in Ontario, in Canada, and the Commonwealth cannot be over emphasized, particularly, here in McNab-Braeside.”
While McNab Township was being settled in 1825, said Campbell, the world of government was very different from that experience, today. The millions of people in Great Britain were governed by roughly 3,000 voting land owners. Upper Canada, including McNab Township was governed on the same principle, by a minority aristocracy. However, this feudal practice was counter cultural to the Scots belief in “the Chief as the first among equals,” a concept articulated by John Locke in his proposition that the Crown derives its authority, not from God, but from the will of the people. “It is upon this principle that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth rules, today, why in her coronation address she dedicated her life to the service of her people throughout the Commonwealth,” said Campbell. In 1829, the efforts to change government began with the creation of the Friendly Society, a group of settlers dedicated to displacing the Laird of McNab’s feudal practices through use of legislative and legal means rather than rebellion. Campbell’s great great grandfather Peter Camp-
bell was one of the three founding members of the ‘Friendlies.’. “Their efforts resulted not only in the removal of McNab from his position as Superintendent but contributed to the creation, in 1851, of municipal government as we know it today,” she said. “I see it as a great privilege to be serving my municipality in the year of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s 60th year of royal service,” she said. “I am truly grateful to Her Majesty, the Government of Canada, and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for the recognition of the service of this office and its allegiance to the Crown. I am also grateful to the people of McNab-Braeside for having chosen me to fulfill the office of mayor during this historic occasion, Her Majesty’s Jubilee Year. “I humbly accept the Queen’s jubilee medal on behalf of our council, the many mayors, reeves, councillors and staff who have strengthened McNab-Braeside’s municipal government over the past 160 years, and on behalf of the people of McNabBraeside from whom all our authority to govern is derived.” R0011971357

POLICING EMC news – An avocado was eaten and the furnace was turned up, but nothing appears to be stolen in two separate break-in in this area.
Renfrew OPP, which has now merged with Arnprior OPP, reports that sometime overnight on Saturday, March 2, a home on McGonigal
St East in Arnprior was broken into. The back door was forced open and it was unknown if anything was stolen, although a witness said it appeared an avocado was eaten by the intruder. OPP Constable Jenn Calder is investigating.
A seasonal cottage on McVicar Lane in McNab-Braeside has been entered since Jan. 1, but it does not appear anything was stolen. The owners reported the temperature had been adjusted up on the furnace while they were away.

Accolades for County forester EMC news - Renfrew County officials have congratulated Lacey Rose of the forestry division for her presentation to the Ontario Forest Industries Association annual general meeting. The meeting took place Feb. 27 in Toronto, where Rose talked about the county’s initiative, OttawaValleyWood. com.
The website was developed by Renfrew County forestry and economic development staff to promote wood products from the county. The site is attracting increased inquiries and sales. Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon, who attended the event, said Rose’s presentation “really showed us in a good light. It was nice to sit
and watch.” The website, which was created in 2012, has expanded dramatically to links to the company and product profiles of more than 30 Renfrew County wood producers. Since its inception, the website has identified about 3,000 potential new customers. Check out OttawaValleyWood.com for more details.

Key Plan:
Nuclear waste may be trucked past Arnprior along Hwy. 17 Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com
EMC news - In a bid to acquiesce to the United States’ nuclear non-proliferation efforts, 23,000 liters of liquid radioactive waste may be making its way through the Ottawa Valley. The toxic brew, containing highly enriched uranium (HEU), would travel 1,978 kilometres from Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) laboratories in Chalk River to the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina. The shortest route would see the shipments come down Highway 417 past Arnprior to Highway 416. The material would be processed into low enriched uranium to produce fuel in commercial power reactors. The U.S. has been repatriating HEU from civilian sites in 30 countries to prevent the material from falling in terrorist hands. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is currently reviewing an application for the proposed transportation project. “An initial agreement has been reached but more preparations must occur before shipments and processing of the solutions can begin at SRS,” said Robert Middaugh, communications co-ordinator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) in a statement. Shipping the HEU and its accompanying liquid waste back to the U.S. could set a dangerous precedent, said Gor-
don Edwards, president of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility (CCNR). “We don’t think there is any immediate necessity in the immediate future,” he said. “We think it’s a bad idea all together. Once they start shipping this liquid waste, it will be a precedent, not only for North America, but for the whole world.” With one gallon able to contaminate an entire city’s water supply, he worries that an unfortunate accident or miscalculation could spell disaster. “It remains dangerous for a very, very long time,” said Edwards. “When they talk about high level radioactive waste from nuclear reactors, they are talking about it remaining dangerous for millions of years.” In addition to weaponsgrade uranium, the liquid waste contains dozens of highly manmade radioactive materials floating in a solution of nitric acid and mercury byproducts. “Some people describe it as some sort of a witch’s brew, which is not a bad description in terms that it is really nasty stuff,” Edwards said. The process would take several years, several truckloads and will cost AECL about $60 million. If proper authorization is received, the shipments will begin middle to late 2013 and finish by 2016 and would be heavily regulated, confirmed Middaugh. Safety regulations on both side of the border will be upheld to the strictest standards. According to the CNSC, the containers are specifically
designed and certified to meet international safety requirements. They have been rigorously tested to insure that they are able to withstand punctures, fire and drops. “The trouble is that we humans are not gods and we can’t foresee everything,” said Edwards. TERRORISM THREAT
Terrorist attacks cannot be discounted as a real possibility, he added. To assure that attacks are averted, shipments will be accompanied by guards. Due to the inherent risk of national security and the possible environmental consequences, the CCNR is pressing for a public process. “The timing of the shipment, the route of the shipment has to be kept secret, but there is no reason that we can’t talk about whether this is a bonehead idea or not,” said Edwards. “Public wouldn’t even know if it wasn’t for our organization blowing the whistle.” The CCNR believes there is no real necessity to move this material out of Chalk River in the near future. For safety, AECL should at least wait until the waste is solidified before transporting it, said Edwards. AECL have been using the HEU to produced medical isotopes which are used for diagnostic purposes. Canada has pledged to stop using HEU for this purpose by 2016. AECL representatives were unavailable for comment.
MPP’s gas tax bill finally passes, but will Liberals bring it forward? EMC news - Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski’s Private Members’ Bill that would give rural areas a share of the provincial gas tax passed a major legislative hurdle March 7. After being defeated several times in past years, Yakabuski’s Gasoline Tax Fairness for All Act was finally sent to committee for further study. Despite opposition from the Liberals, the Bill passed second reading by a vote of 40 to 25. Yakabuski’s Bill would amend the Gasoline Tax Act to allow rural municipalities to seek a rebate of the gas tax from the provincial government for the purpose of constructing, maintaining or operating a public transportation system in that municipality. Currently, municipalities that do not have rapid or mass-transit systems are excluded from this program. “I believe this was a real opportunity for the new premier to turn the page on years of neglect under Dalton McGuinty and finally acknowledge some of the challenges facing rural
municipalities,” Yakabuski said. “By choosing to pick up where her predecessor left off, Kathleen Wynne is showing that her talk of newfound respect for rural Ontario is nothing but empty words.” Yakabuski noted that in the recent Liberal Leadership campaign there was a lot of “lip service” paid to finally acknowledging the realities of rural Ontario. In January MPP Jeff Leal, who is now Wynne’s Rural Affairs Minister, told the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus (EOWC) that the Liberals would be bringing forth legislation that would share a portion of the gas tax with rural municipalities. “The ball is now in the government’s court” Yakabuski said. “They can either call my Bill before committee to hear from stakeholders, or they can continue to ignore the voice of rural Ontario as they’ve spent the past nine years doing.” The Ontario PC party endorsed gas tax sharing in the 2011 and 2007 election campaigns.

Negotiators promise accountability with land claims financial settlement Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com
EMC news – The Algonquin First Nation has no intention of squandering the $300-million settlement it is seeking in its ongoing land claim. The comment was made by a questioner who used the term “pissing away” during the question-andanswer session at a public meeting on the land claim at the Perth Lions Club hall on March 7. The statement did not sit well with the presenters from the federal and provincial governments, or representatives from the Algonquin First Nation. “I’m not surprised,” with the comment, said Allan Pratt, legal advisor to the Algonquins in Ontario. “(But) I’m not happy. I’d say, from my experience … we’ve seen a lot of different things. My hope is that we create a governance structure where that is unthinkable.” Pratt’s law firm now only handles First Nations cases, and he has been working on this land claim for many years. “I would be very sad if I had devoted my life to the pissing away of valuable resources,” said Pratt. “That’s not why I am doing this.” The man with whom he often shares the negotiating table, Brian Crane, representing the Province of Ontario, agreed that, in the past, land claim settlements were sometimes handed out to individual natives – but not in this instance. “The assets are held by investment corporations for the benefit of everyone (in the First Nation),” said Crane. “(They are) usually conservative investments. None of these (payments) will be passed down to individuals.” A recent mailer to his constituents from Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MP Scott Reid called for greater transparency for the accounting books of First Nations chiefs and their councils. This was in light of the leaked information about the financial track record of high-profile Chief Theresa Spence of the Attawapiskat First Nation. But the negotiators were quick to distance themselves from these controversies. “That is our future seed money, for our future economy, for our prosperity,” said Pratt. “It will give the Algonquins an economic boost. And the economy of eastern Ontario too. They will have a land base, maybe not as much as would have gotten 150 years ago … (but) let us face it, we are all here to stay.” During the presentations, Crane stressed to the assembled that the agreement-in-principle (AIP) was in no way a done deal. Crane added that hunt clubs would continue to operate as per normal for the time being, and that their future would be part of future negotiations. “Private lands are not being taken,” reiterated Crane. Though about four per cent of Crown land in eastern Ontario is being transferred over, he stressed that does not mean that non-natives are excluded from those transferred lands. For example, access to lands transferred to the Algonquins could

Allan Pratt, legal advisor to the Algonquins in Ontario, shares a laugh with Brian Crane, the representative from the province of Ontario, as they arrange their paperwork before the start of the presentation and question and answer segment of the public information session at the Perth Lions Club hall on March 7. be given if “there are existing access routes across this land. Those rights will be protected,” he said. The same is true of waterways. “Those navigable waters, those public rights-of-way, will be protected,” said Crane, who also stressed that while native hunting and fishing rights were very important, the health of Ontario’s natural resources, for everyone’s continued enjoyment, was paramount. “ A harvest management plan has already been agreed to and a fish management plan for Algonquin Park has also been hammered out, but there are still competing interests that will need to be spoken to. “It is inevitable since hunt camps are everywhere,” said Crane. “How are hunt camps able to continue operations, and how will the Algonquins continue to access their lands?” Crane answered his own question by saying that a deal would have to be worked out under the auspices of the province. Pratt also pointed out that, ideally, such a land claim should have been settled more than 150 years ago, and that the Algonquins first petitioned the crown back in 1772. “The Algonquins have been here a heck of a long time, before Samuel de Champlain ventured up the Ottawa River,” Pratt said. “About 250 years after such a treaty should have been written … If this was 150 or 200 years ago, we would have 10 big lots,” in this agreement, not 200 small lots scattered across the region. “It would look like the north shore of Lake Huron,” Pratt continued. “We are doing this after the fact … (But) the impact is going to be less than people fear.” Pratt said that it was “staggering” that in the nation’s capital region, a treaty had never been signed between the Algonquins and the Crown, and that the land remained unceded. “The Algonquins have become the forgotten people of this land,” said Pratt.
Federal negotiator Ron Doering stressed it is his job to “represent the non-native community. My instruc-
tions were very clear (to provide) timely and meaningful consultation with the non-native community and I think we are doing that. This is real consultation.” Doering agreed there is no “done deal,” and that there was still a lot of negotiating that needs to be done, and blank spaces that need to be filled. “It is not my job to say that this is a deal you should be pleased about,” said Doering. Other questioners at the session had queries about natives currently allowed to use nets and spears to catch fish, like spawning walleye, in places like Westport, Sharbot Lake and Otty Lake. The questioner went so far as to accuse some Algonquin fishers of “raping” the waters. “Under the law, the Algonquins have their traditional rights to hunt, fish, and trap,” said Crane. “There cannot be an agreement that abridges those rights. They have this aboriginal right that will not be extinguished.” But Crane did concede that “if there is a conservation issue, the practice will be abridged.” “There is nothing wrong with using a spear,” said Pratt. “If they are fishing for food. There is no right to
rape anything and I don’t like to hear words like that.” Later in the meeting, a questioner asked why, if “traditional” hunting and fishing methods were so important to natives, why they used modern equipment. “You get to keep doing what you are doing, but you can use modern methods,” said Pratt. When it comes to hunting in provincial parks, Crane said that the Algonquins do not have “an unlimited right to hunt in provincial parks.” On a related hunting matter, a Norway Lake resident stated she keeps her children inside during hunting season, but was worried that more year-round hunting by the Algonquins could be a safety hazard for her family. Crane pointed out that provincial laws banning firing a gun within a certain distance of a road or a house would still apply to the Algonquins too. On a community level, the men were asked if the final agreement would bring the people of eastern Ontario together or drive them further apart. “They are fitting in, they are working with you,” said Crane.

Arnprior wrestlers qualify for OFSAA
JOHN WAHAY/SUBMITTED
Proof the Arnprior Curling Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentor program is a success are new curlers, kneeling in front Tommy Burton, left, and Marty Periard and in back Kate Periard, left, and Rachel Burton.
Curling clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentor program pays off with new members EMC sports - For the first time this fall the Arnprior Curling Club began a mentor program to train interested new curlers. The program was run for eight weeks at a reasonable cost and provided one-on-one training in the sport of curling. The difference from just signing up for the season was that if the participant didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the sport they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to continue. Eighteen persons signed up and the majority were back
again after the Christmas draws. A shining example of the program was the team of Tommy Burton, Kate Periard, Marty Periard and Rachel Burton who won the Tuesday night draw. They were so enthused with the sport they also entered the Curling Pallooza in Ottawa in January and took second place, Well done to the newest members of curling. Look for a repeat of the program this coming fall.
EMC sports - Three members of the Arnprior High School wrestling team competed in Kingston on Feb. 21 at the Eastern Ontario championships (EOSSAA) and two qualified for the provincial meet. John Dolan and Darren Mayhew were each in draws of seven people. Dolan in his second year of high school wrestling had a tough first match, which went two rounds with him being pinned at the end of second round. His second match was against a wrestler from Athens, Ontario. Dolan scored points in the first round but was unable to come up with a win. He won his third match to give him a fifth-place finish for the day. Coach Kevin Mayhew said that Dolan was close to winning his first match and his skill on the mat has improved greatly from last year. There were no opponents for Rebecca Dolan at EOSSAA, which gave her an automatic entry into OFSAA in Guelph. She will be continuing to train to prepare for Guelph. There could be at least 20 other girls in her weight class from all over Ontario. Darren Mayhew had a bye to start the day. His second match was against a boy from Renfrew. Darren won both rounds 6-0 and was able to test some moves he had been working on over the past week. His next match was for first place and he again was wrestling a competitor from

Collins leads Jr. Canadians to final John Carter John.carter@metroland.com
EMC sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Last season the Arnprior Packers won the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League and played Gatineau in the Metro-Valley final. This year, several former Packers will be playing in the final, but with the Ottawa Junior Canadians and the Renfrew Timberwolves. Renfrew showed its four-game sweep of Arnprior was no fluke by ousting regular season champion Perth Blue Wings 4-1 in the Valley final. The Junior Canadians, led by former Packer and McNab-Braeside resident Taylor Collins, swept the Clarence Creek Beavers in four straight after a tough 4-2 win over Ottawa West in the semi-final. Collins is running away with the playoff scoring race with nine goals and 10 assists in 10 games. Collins scored the insurance goal shorthanded in the last minute in the Canadians series-clinching 3-1 win Sunday. Another former Packer Mitch Parker scored the winning goal and former Packer goalie Matt Couvrette picked up the win in net.
Hockey with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the NSC
Collins scored two goals and added three assists in the Canadians 6-4 game two win. Meanwhile, another former Packer property, Matt Gagne, backstopped Renfrew to the win over Perth. The Wolves expect to have a tough time with the Metro conference-leading Canadians, who had 60 regular-season points to Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 43, and topped the Wolves in their two meetings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7-5 and 5-2. The Metro division champion traditionally bests the best of the Valley Division. The Wolves and Canadians open their bestof-seven series this Saturday, March 16 at Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brian Kilrea (Canterbury) Arena. Game time is 7:15 p.m. Game two is a rare Monday night contest in Renfrew. Game time for the March 18 encounter at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre is 8 p.m. The series then goes back and forth on March 19, 22, 26, 29 and 30, if needed. The Athens Aeros won the Rideau Division final over the Gananoque Islanders four games to one. The surprising Akwesasne Wolves are tied with the defending EOJHL champion Casselman Vikings 3-3 in the St. Lawrence final.
EMC sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Twelve hockey teams will do battle this weekend in the fifth annual Hockey for Heart tournament at the Nick Smith Centre.

EMC sports - The Valley Pride Midget Girls team captured the silver medal at the Gloucester Wolverines tournament on the weekend of Feb. 8. The girls played five tough games over the weekend, defeating teams from Hamilton, Cornwall and Nepean, and losing a tough round-robin game to a team from Orleans. The 3-and-1 record placed Valley Pride in the gold medal game for a rematch against the team from Orleans. Orleans jumped out to an early 10-point lead, but the girls never give up. Their style of play allowed the team to eliminate the early margin and by the start of the fourth quarter as the lead was down to two points. The final quarter was hard-fought till the end, but a late three point basket by Orleans allowed them to pull out a tight fourpoint victory.

Ladies Day at Pakenham Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca
EMC lifestyle – Eleven women were celebrated at Mount Pakenham Ski Resort on March 7 for Ladies Day. Mount Pakenham has hosted Ladies Day since 2004 and this year it was one day before International Women’s Day. It’s a day to celebrate progress toward equality for women and their full participation in society, reflect on the challenges and barriers that remain, and consider future steps to achieving equality for all women in all aspects of their lives, according to the Status of Women Canada website. “We try to get ladies out and focus on them and have a special day,” said Laura Kelland-May, co-coordinator for skiing and schools. “It’s a chance for them to get on the hill and practice their skills in a ladies-only atmosphere.” The day started with a breakfast, yoga, lessons, and a gourmet lunch. Each of the women was paired up with an instructor according to their ability levels and certified instructors conducted all of the lessons. “We offer a unique event which is designed to entice women to enhance their ski/

Mount Pakenham Ladies Day offers just this opportunity.” Barb Tench, from West Ottawa is new to skiing and wanted to meet some women to ski with. “I think this is fabulous,”

said Tench. “I came to Pakenham because it’s touted as the best learning facility in the area and it lives up to its reputation.” Barb Wilson is from Kemptville and just started taking lessons in January. “It’s a way to meet new people and make new friends,” said Wilson. “It’s just great.” The ski hill, which has been open since 1968, has 10 runs with a wide variety of difficulty levels.
EMC sports - Calabogie’s hard-working U14 and U16 ski racers have completed the season-ending championship races with fantastic results. At Championships, the athletes are divided by year-ofbirth for the final results. The U14s raced in a slalom March 2 at Mont Cascades. Alex Duff of Pembroke podiumed in the 1999 boys division, picking up a bronze medal, while Jack Hamilton of Burnstown was inside the top 20, coming 17th for year 2000 boys. It wasn’t such a good day for the other boys, however, as they all completed only one run. For the year 2000 girls, Lauren Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew was another podium-getter, ripping into fourth place, while Sophia Tan of Kanata edged into the top 10 with a ninth-place finish. Lauren Ferguson of Carp and Jessica Earle of Greely carved into the top 20 with 15th and 17th place results respectively. Emma Schreider of Kingston placed a seasonbest 22nd. Jenna Wissing of Kanata raced in the 1999 girls’ divison and earned herself a 17th. Alex Kerr of Kemptville skied well but did not finish one run. The next day was the Giant Slalom (GS) at Mont Ste. Marie. Lauren Campbell-Brunke doubled her podium finishes with a bronze medal. Sam

The passing of a legend: Stompin’ Tom Connors For all his national fame, Stompin’ Tom Connors never forgot the Ottawa Valley and its major role in his rise to music stardom Paul Rellinger, Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
EMC news - Canada has lost a national icon. The Ottawa Valley has lost a grateful friend. Stompin’ Tom Connors, the plywood-thumping, chain-smoking singer-songwriter whose music struck a distinctly Canadian chord, died March 6 at his Halton Hills, Ont. home. He was 77 years old. Immediately upon word of Connors’ death, reported to be from natural causes, tributes began piling up via traditional media and social media platforms, All last week, that trend continued and intensified. It seems every region in the country can claim a connection to Stompin’ Tom. He was born in New Brunswick and spent his formative years in Skinner’s Pond, P.E.I. before taking to the road. The Ottawa Valley’s connection starts in 1967 with his first hit, Big Joe Mufferaw, that mentions towns from Arnprior and Renfrew to Kemptville and beyond. The character had its origins in Arnprior, being based on the tales of Bernie Bedore. Valley troubadour Lyle Dillabough recalls the time Stompin’ Tom helped save the former Mississippi Hotel in Carleton Place from demolition in 1990. Dillabough penned a letter asking for his support. “Tom made a plea to the public to ‘Save the Grand Ole Lady,’” Dillabough recalls. “In 1990 Tom was still quite a bit in his reclusive period, so when he made that public statement the nation’s media went into a bit of a frenzy. And that had everything to do with why the Grand Ole Lady still stands at the corner of Bridge Street and Lake Avenue in Carleton Place today.” It was in Peterborough that Connors’ trademark habit of stomping the heel of his left boot to keep rhythm earned him the nickname “that stompin’ guy” or “Stomper.” However, the name Stompin’ Tom Connors
was first coined when Boyd MacDonald, a waiter at the King George Tavern in Peterborough, introduced him as such on stage. The name stuck as Connors went on to produce a bevy of hit songs, including Bud The Spud, Sudbury Saturday Night, The Bug Song and, of course, The Hockey Song, the ultimate music tribute to Canada’s game. In past interviews, former hockey superstar Bobby Orr has said that for all the many honours he received for his on-ice excellence, being referenced in that song’s lyrics - “Someone roars, Bobby scores” - tops the list. No one knows that better than Brian Edwards, whose Peterborough-based Rocklands Talent and Management Inc. first promoted Connors in the late 1980s, reviving his music career after a lengthy hiatus. “He stood up for every Canadian through his music, his words and his actions,” notes Edwards regarding what has prompted the outpouring of condolences. “It doesn’t surprise me but FILE it’s heartwarming ... comforting.” Edwards planned a March 13 memorial, not- Canadian folk legend Stompin’ Tom Connors, who died last week, credits the Ottawa Valing he and Connors discussed such an event in ley and its legendary logger Big Joe Mufferaw for his first break in the music business. advance. “The thinking was Tom is such a public person and a public tribute would be most appropriate,” notes Edwards. being held around the country, including one in ent or future, to know that without you, there “When we looked at a venue, there’s Toronto, Quyon as part of the St. Patrick’s Day party at would have not been any Stompin’ Tom. “It was a long, hard, bumpy road, but this there’s Charlottetown where he grew up, there’s Gavan’s Sunday.

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND
Arnprior lads Mike and Peter’s Constance Bay/Dunrobin ice fishing derby attracted more than 200 anglers to the Ottawa River March 3. Among them was Patrick Sul of Arnprior, who makes good use of his snowmobile as a seat as he waits for a fish to bite on Constance Bay. Riley Burns of Arnprior also tends his fishing hole, while Brandon Lawrence of Woodlawn keeps them company. The sixth annual event features lunch on the river and cash prizes totaling about $3,000 for the three largest fish caught. Every fisherman under 16 who registered for the derby received a rod and reel. The event’s main organizers, from left, Peter Strong, Jodi Spangaro, Julie Delahunt and Mike Fines, show off some of the donated prizes in draws held during the derby. There was also a 50-50 draw that helped pay for the food and prize money.

EMC news – The Snowmobile, All-Terrain Vehicle and Vessel Enforcement (S.A.V.E.) Team reminds the public that ice on area lakes and rivers is melting and other hazards that have been under deep snow may now be exposed. So drive with care and realize no ice is completely safe, says the team in a news release. Recent and upcoming warm temperatures make ice conditions extremely hazardous. Always, check the ice in several places before traveling onto it and wear a floatation suit and carry ice picks. “If you go onto the ice, be prepared to get wet and cold and rescue yourself. Don’t endanger anyone else. If you’re travelling in a group, keep good spacing so that if one person goes into the water, the others don’t.” Ice fishermen are reminded that ice shacks should be removed by March 15.
OPP’s winter safe driving tips for truckers EMC news – Driving in the winter in Renfrew County can be challenging at times, as drivers are often exposed to a wide range of weather and road conditions. Add to that the task of driving a large commercial motor vehicle and you may be confronted with a stressful commute. Whether you are a new or experienced driver, here are some tips. Watch for black ice: • Black ice is a thin layer of transparent ice that forms when the temperature is close to freezing. Bridges, overpasses and shaded areas freeze first. Slow down when approaching these areas. Don’t follow too close: • Traffic slows in inclement weather and poor road conditions. Make sure you keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Reduce your speed as road conditions deteriorate: • Even experienced drivers know that you can’t always predict how your truck will move on snow or ice. Reduce your speed and stay in control. Watch for warning sighs: • If you start to notice vehicles in the ditch or median the road conditions may be worsening. Reduce your speed and consider taking a break. Winter weather conditions can change quickly, placing extra demands on your vehicle and your driving skills. No load is worth your life: • If road conditions become extreme, try to find a safe spot to wait out the storm. If you can’t make it to

EMC lifestyle - Emerson said there was something wrong with my head. He thought it probably had something to do with the bump I got when I fell out of a tree and landed hard on the ground. My sister Audrey said to pay him no heed. She said I was right as rain, which certainly eased my mind. But Emerson said anyone who took to animals that weren’t quite right had to have a screw loose. There was no doubt I seemed to be especially fond of any farm animal that came into the world a bit different from the ordinary. Emerson pointed to my pet chicken. I called her Biddy. Now, what made Biddy very different from the flock was she didn’t have a feather on her body! She had a sort of cuff of down around her neck, but that was it as far as feathers were concerned. Her body was a soft pink, and smooth as a china plate, and I loved her with all my heart. Biddy and I spent hours together. When the summer sun was hot, she sat on my knee in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, as I tried to keep her out of the sun, because one day her skin turned as red as a beet. And then there was Lambie. She was as black as ink, and in a flock as white as the driven snow, was an immediate outcast. I adopted Lambie immediately. As well as being black when she was born, Father doubted she would see morning. After sleeping in the house by the Findlay Oval in a cardboard box, and being fed by me from a doll’s bottle, she thrived. She followed me everywhere, and

eventually had to be kept in the barn after Mother announced there would be no more sheep in the house!] Then there was old Harry With the Heaves, as he was called. Harry was a dark brown horse with a questionable ancestry. He was very old, and had what we called a sway-back. Emerson said you could lay a bale of hay in the middle of his back. He wasn’t much good for working, but like all the other misfits that came into being on the farm, I loved old Harry With the Heaves with a deep passion. With the least exertion old Harry would heave like he was taking his last breath. So he was never put to work. He mainly sought a cool place in the summer, with his head almost touching the ground and standing perfectly still, and in the winter stayed in the warmth of the barn. Sometimes I would hitch him up to the cutter, and take a few cuts around the barnyard, but they were few indeed. And I would unhitch him, use the currycomb on him, make sure he had water to drink, and a patch of hay to chew on, and hug his neck and tell him how much I loved him. I was sure he knew what I was saying. I dreaded the day Father would say Har-
ry’s time had come. I decided I had to have a talk with Father. I waited for just the right time. As he did every night before he went to bed, he went to the barns to check on the animals. One night I went with him. Of course, old Harry With The Heaves was in his stall with his head almost to the floor. I asked Father what was going to happen to my favourite horse when he could no longer even walk around the barnyard. Father just said, “We’ll worry about that when the time comes,” which put my mind at ease for the moment. And every night I added old Harry to my prayers. The winter was severe that year. Harry was kept in the barn almost every day. The frosty air would cause him to heave even if he wasn’t walking around the barnyard. Without fail, as soon as I came home from school and got into my play clothes, I would head for the barn to see Harry. And then came the day when Harry was gone. I thought perhaps Father had let him out for some air. But he was nowhere to be seen. I was frantic and ran from building to building looking for Father. He was cleaning out the sheep stable, and it looked like he knew exactly why I was there. “Where is he?” Father put the fork down, and rubbed the top of my head which immediately started me into the tears. All he said was, “Harry has gone to a better place.” When I was very young I thought the animals I loved would live forever. It took me a long time to realize you didn’t raise farm animals for pets. Harry, like Biddy and Lambie had gone to a better place.

EMC lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Are you in need of help with your regular home cleaning and maintenance? Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program (ABMSHP) has the solution. It offers home cleaning and maintenance services to seniors who have reached the age of 60 and over or to those with special needs no matter the age and who reside in Arnprior or the Township of McNab-Braeside. ABMSHP acts as the broker between workers and individuals who may need assistance with housekeeping or with home maintenance. All service rates are established directly between the client and the brokered worker. All of our brokered workers are registered with the agency and have completed a screening process which includes: â&#x20AC;˘ completion of an application form, including past work experience and services offered; â&#x20AC;˘ personal interview; â&#x20AC;˘ three reference checks to determine suitability for work with seniors; â&#x20AC;˘ provide a current Ontario Provincial Police Criminal Record check including a Vulnerable Sector Check; â&#x20AC;˘ sign a Worker Liability Release Form and a Confidentiality Agreement. Please make note that brokered workers are not employees of Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program. The agency does not bond workers nor does it carry insurance to cover job-related injury or any worker related damage to clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal property. Brokered workers generally have their own tools and equipment. If you are in need of home cleaning and maintenance or have more questions regarding the program, contact Patti Jennings, program co-ordinator, at 613-623-7981 or by email at pattijennings@cssagency.ca.

EMC lifestyle – The Arnprior Legion held an awards afternoon recently for all of the top three winners in each age category in the annual Remembrance poster, essay and
poem contest. Twenty-one students received certificates, medals and a cash prizes for their efforts. About 80 youth, family members and Legion officials enjoyed a light lunch of finger foods prepared by the Legion catering staff.
The first- and second-place winners qualified for the Legion Zone competition, which was held at the Constance Bay Legion. The winners move on to district, regional and provincial competitions. As the youth education officer for Legion Branch 174 Arnprior, Patrick
Simmonds thanked “all those who helped make the poster, poem and essay competition such a success.” He issued thanks “firstly to all the teachers who took time to help the students in their efforts to enter the contest,” then to “the judges who took time out to judge the entries”
and to finally to “the students that did such a great job with all their efforts.” He also thanked the Legion kitchen staff for the light lunch and Branch 174 president Harry Hereford for the introduction and handing out the awards.

Heading South? Are You Prepared? By this time of the year, most Canadians are a little sick of the snow and the cold. For those who can a trip South helps to quash the winter blahs. With visions of sand, surf and palm trees, how many people are also thinking about the long term effects of sun on their skin? This time of year tends to yield quite a few sunburns to those who travel south, which can lead to the start of photoaging and even worse skin cancer. Photoaging is premature aging of the skin caused by repeated exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) primarily from the sun, but also from artificial UV sources such as a tanning bed. Photoaging is different from chronologic aging, as the damaging effects of UV rays from the sun (or artificial tanning sources) alter the normal structures of the skin. It is important to not only bring sunscreen but to apply it frequently during the length of your vacation. Even waterproof formulas need to be reapplied as water, sand; towels and sweat help remove their effectiveness. Obviously looking older than you truly are is not high on the desired list, but neither is skin cancer. Skin cancer is the now the 8th most common cancer in Canada. Approximately 5,500 Canadians were diagnosed with melanoma in 2011 and 950 died from it. Melanoma is one of a handful of cancers where the incidence in Canadians continues to grow (1.4% per year in men, 1% per year in women). Pictured is Dermatologist Dr. Sack counseling one of his Accutane patients on the risks of sun exposure while on this medication There is also a misconception about tanning beds and how safe they are. Truth be told, they are not safe at all. Some provinces, such as British Columbia, have already banned tanning beds. However, tanning beds remain quite popular, especially with teens and those trying to get a “base tan” before heading south. They are not safe and in fact may cause even worse skin damage. The only “base” that will protect your skin is one containing an SPF of 30.
Many people aged 60 or older face a high risk for developing skin cancer. If you are in this age group, you grew up in a time when little was known about how too much sun could cause skin cancer and premature aging of the skin. The truth is that it is never too late for sun protection. By protecting your skin from too much sun you can help prevent the onset of skin cancer and more sun damage to the skin. Keeping your skin healthy can help you enjoy your senior years to the fullest! A small percentage of people taking over-the-counter or prescription drugs find that their skin becomes oversensitive to the sun. They can get serious skin damage including sunburn, blisters, rashes or swelling when out in the sun. Some of the medications which may set off these reactions include antibiotics (tetracycline and sulfa drugs), diuretics (water pills), anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, antidiabetic preparations and some acne drugs containing vitamin A or its derivatives. Academic Dermatologist, Dr. Jason Sack (Faculty, Queen’s University at Kingston), routinely treats the worst cases of acne from Ottawa and the Valley in his outpatient Dermatology clinic and, often, the treatment regimen includes Accutane. He comments: “Sun protection is always important, but in the context of a photosensitizing medication like Accutane, it is especially critical.”

Cheryl Hammond, Danielle St-Aubin, Kevin Keohane, Matthew Sachs and Natalie Larocque show off a living space in one of the four grand-prize homes up for grabs in the We All Win lottery in support of CHEO and the Ottawa Hospital.
Multiple winners with hospital lottery CHEO’S Wild Week of Winning offers numerous prizes including four homes, cars and cash Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC lifestyle - Marie Binelli feels so strongly about CHEO’s good work that she took the time to speak at the launch of the We All Win lottery while her son was undergoing surgery at the children’s hospital. Her son Jacob was in surgery for a hernia on March 8, during the kick-off of the Ottawa Hospital and Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario lottery. “Our son is currently receiving treatment at CHEO today,” said Binelli, adding she was able to be at the launch because she knew he was in capable hands. Jacob was due to be born on March 8 this year, but instead was born prematurely. “Our son was very young and sick in his early days,” said Binelli. “We are grateful for all the support … for all the difference they have made in our lives.” Binelli was given a CHEO bear for Jacob as she stepped away from the podium during the launch of the lottery. WE ALL WIN
The lottery punched up its format this year, introducing a “Wild Week of Winning.” And instead of giving away one grand prize home – the lottery will have four grand prize home winners. “We have a lot of exciting changes,” said Danielle St-Aubin, vice-president of donor relations with the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. From June 17 to 21, there will be daily draws for five $10,000 prizes; five $5,000 travel vouchers from Sears Travel; and a new vehicle from Myers Automotive Group. And on June 21, there will be four grand-prize draws for award-winning Horizon townhomes from Urbandale Construction. “Now that really is a wild week of winning,” said Cheryl Hammond, vice-president of corporate events for the CHEO foundation.
Every grand-prize home – located at 252, 254, 256 and 258 Keyrock Dr. – comes completely furnished with appliances and furniture, thanks to Sears Home Store. People are welcome to drop by to see the homes from noon to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and holidays. There is also an additional VIP early bonus draw. Ticket buyers who purchase by midnight on March 22 will be entered into a draw for 1,000 three-packs of bonus tickets. Those who purchase by midnight on May 10 will be entered into another early bird draw for $75,000. “The We All Win lottery is really aptly named,” said Matthew Sachs, with Urbandale Construction. “There is no better cause. It benefits everyone in the community.” Doctors, nurses and staff at CHEO and the Ottawa Hospital see more than two million patients every year. “They are here in our community when we need them,” said Vanessa Lee, a reporter and anchor with a local television station. “All these reasons (are) why everyone in the community should be supporting (these hospitals).” Funds raised through the We All Win lottery help equip the staff with up-to-date equipment and supports life-saving research to find cures for diseases. “For me, CHEO will always have a special place,” said Natalie Larocque, Sears regional vice-president of eastern Ontario. Her son was diagnosed with diabetes at a young age. “As a parent you have so many worries,” she said, adding the hospitals help provide peace of mind, knowing patients are getting the best possible care. “We all have a story.” Tickets cost $100 each or three for $250. They can be ordered online at weallwin.ca, at any major bank, the grand-prize townhomes, by mail or by phone at 613-737-4946 or 1-877730-4946.

Redistribution to put Lanark into one riding Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com
EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to see MP Gordon Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor in the Pakenham Santa Claus Parade after 2015. With the new changes announced to the federal electoral boundaries due to kick in for the anticipated 2015 election, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current Carleton-Mississippi Mills seat will be reconfigured in such a way that he will no longer partially represent the northern tip of Lanark County in the House of Commons. Now, fellow Conservative MP Scott Reid alone will represent the whole county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the moment, I have 155,000 people in my riding,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor during a telephone interview last week, noting his riding includes Kanata, Mississippi Mills, Goulbourn, and West Carleton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will lose about 50,000 (voters). About 15,000 to 16,000 are Mississippi Mills and the plan is that those would be attached to the (newly re-named riding of) Lanark-Frontenac, which is Scott Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, 34,000 to 35,000 voters in Stittsville and Goulbourn will be switched to Conservative MP Pierre Poilievreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly-named riding of Rideau-Carleton. After 2015, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly configured riding, with about
101,000 voters, will be called Kanata-Carleton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a huge shift for Pierre too,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, with a new riding called simply Nepean being created, taking in Barrhaven and Bells Corners, as part of 15 new ridings across Ontario. All ridings are not created equal, however, and the usual giveand-take of the Canadian federation does make for complicated riding-making. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gets complicated,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are locked into certain constitutional positions.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor pointed to Prince Edward Island, a province beloved by not only Anne of Green Gablesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fans, but also constitutional and parliamentary policy wonks too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rule is that they have the same number of MPs as senators,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor of PEIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four senators and members of parliament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a population smaller than my riding,â&#x20AC;? and they have more MPs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At some point, there has to be some kind of constitutional balance,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor said, noting that in five years, his riding has seen a 16 per cent rise in population. However, he was adamant that losing so many rural voters would not affect his re-election chances in two-and-a-half years, stating there â&#x20AC;&#x153;are the same potential as the other (ridings),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a good level of support for the Conservative party.â&#x20AC;?
However, he said he will be sad to see Mississippi Mills go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to lose any (of my riding),â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am happy with the riding as it is now.â&#x20AC;? He said that his current riding had a good mix of urban, rural, and suburban, but then â&#x20AC;&#x153;mathematics kicks in. (But) from Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective, it is good that he has all of Lanark County.â&#x20AC;? The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario released its report on the changes on Feb. 25, adding 15 new ridings in the province. Interestingly, the report singled out Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s riding, stating that it was important that Scotiabank Place be included in the riding as it had always been associated with Kanata. The report also made mention of Mississippi Mills and Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to keep all of Lanark County under one MP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The commission received persuasive submissions that the community of interest of the Town of Mississippi Mills was with communities in Lanark County, and (is) now with an electoral district more closely associated with the City of Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? the report said. For many years, Reid represented Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, which he will continue to do until 2015. Thereafter, however, he will lose the far southwestern half of his riding, when Napanee joins a new riding, Belleville-NapaneeFrontenac. Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s riding will now be called Lanark-FrontenacHastings.
Ontario commission sticks with shorter riding name John Carter john.carter@metroland.com
EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In its final report, the Ontario commission looking into the redistribution of federal seats is sticking with its recommenda-
tion to change the name of this riding to Renfrew-Pembroke. However, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant said there is still a chance that the current name will remain, a position she supports.

Gallant has 30 days in which to file a submission. The commission is scheduled to table its final report in June after taking MPsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; objections into account. The final redistribution will be approved in September and will go into affect in April 2014, well before the next federal election, which is expected to be called for October 2015. The Ontario government will have to decide whether to also follow suit and also add 15 ridings in the province, although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not likely to be able to do so prior to the next provincial election.
MP pleased disabled tax credit bill supported, backs elected Senate

Homer & Cinnamon are just two of over 160 cats that are currently looking for homes. Both Homer & Cinnamon are wonderful cats that are affectionate and friendly. Homer is 3yrs old, he is a quiet cat that enjoys snuggling up to his buddies, he would be best suited in a home with at least one other cat for company. Cinnamon is 1 ½ years old, she is a pretty little girl with a sweet personality, she is quiet but likes to play, she enjoys being held and cuddled. She is also great with other cats. Both will make great companions for their new homes.
Gallant said Tuesday that she will make another submission to the commission when it appears before a Standing Committee of Parliament, arguing the name Renfrew-NipissingPembroke should stay. She made a similar appeal during the public hearing process last fall. The name change is the only recommendation to affect the riding, as the commission has agreed its boundaries should remain the same despite its population of 102,537 being 3.46 per cent below the provincial average. Gallant said the shortening of the name takes away from the historic link Renfrew county and the riding have to the Nipissing district. Even if she is unsuccessful in overturning the
EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant discusses the need for an elected Senate and her Private Members Bill on disability tax credit fees in her March column. She says she is pleased that on March 6 all political parties in the House of Commons, by unanimous vote, supported her Private Members legislation, Bill C-462, an Act restricting the fees charged by promoters of the disability tax credit. The legislation has been referred to the finance committee for careful study, she reported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In practice, legislation sponsored by individual MPs is rarely successful. With the all-party endorsement that has been demonstrated both in debate and in the vote, I believe I have the support necessary to make this law.â&#x20AC;? Gallant explained the purpose of Bill C-462 is to restrict fees charged by promoters or â&#x20AC;&#x153;selfstyled tax consultantsâ&#x20AC;? to apply for a disability tax credit on behalf of individuals, which in some cases have been as high as 40 per cent of the expected tax refund and can be in the thousands of dollars. If anyone has questions about the disability
tax credit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;please contact my office. Keep all your tax refund,â&#x20AC;? she urged. In referring to the current controversy over expenses claims by several Senators, Gallant pointed out that â&#x20AC;&#x153;our government has tried many times since we were first elected â&#x20AC;Ś back in 2006 to reform the Senate by requesting the provinces to hold elections and set term limits.â&#x20AC;? While attempts at reform are ongoing, they face opposition from many quarters â&#x20AC;&#x153;including self-appointed constitutional experts, political opponents looking to score cheap political points and some provincial premiers,â&#x20AC;? Gallant added. In the meantime, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has had to fill vacancies as they came up within the existing rules, she noted. She said that by way of comparison, the U.S. Senate began as an appointed body and early on suffered from the lack of legitimacy that comes from being non-elected. Eventually various States began electing prospective senators and public pressure became too much to resist, she said, adding that gradually the U.S. Senate transformed from an appointed body to the current elected one.

LCBO stores raise funds for Parent Action on Drugs EMC lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The public can help support Parent Action on Drugs (PAD) in March by making a donation at any of the 630 LCBO stores throughout Ontario including the one in Arnprior. Donation boxes for PAD are displayed at LCBO checkout counters until March 31. Parent Action on Drugs has been a leader in providing Ontario teens and their families with relevant information about alcohol for 30 years. It works directly with youth to develop programs and resources that are meaningful to them and will make a difference in their lives. Donations from LCBO customers and employees will help Parent Action on Drugs

to develop and deliver important resources that focus on the information that teens need to know to keep themselves - and their friends - safe and let parents know how they can be prepared to deal with the issue of alcohol and teens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s province-wide store network and supportive staff help us raise significant funds and provide us with a unique opportunity to raise public awareness about Parent Action on Drugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work in alcohol education and make a difference with youth,â&#x20AC;? said Diane Buhler, executive director of Parent Action on Drugs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We appreciate the support we receive from LCBO, its employees and especially its customers.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a socially responsible community partner, LCBO is pleased to partner with Parent Action on Drugs and support a variety of worthy causes,â&#x20AC;? said LCBO president and CEO Bob Peter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the generosity of LCBO customers and staff, we help improve the lives of countless Ontarians and make a difference where we live and work.â&#x20AC;? Parent Action on Drugs is one of 28 provincial, as well as numerous local charities, that will benefit from LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincewide donation box program in 2013. In 2011, LCBO raised more than $6.2 million for charities through special programs and initiatives, of which $5.7 million was raised through in-store fundraising.

EMC lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The winners of the annual Knights of Columbus Substance Abuse Poster competition include two students from St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic School in Arnprior. Chairman of the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Substance Abuse program, Darcy Fridgen, visited the winning students to present them with their certificates last week. 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 abuse categories to discourage their peers from experimenting with drugs and alcohol. There are four winners chosen from each category: 8-11 drug, 8-11 alcohol, 12-14 drug and 12-14. All participants receive a certificate, with the winners of each of the four categories taking home a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very niceâ&#x20AC;? monetary prize as well. Winners from Knights of Columbus Council 2082 in Arnprior are Cheyanne Levesque and Jadyn MacAulay of St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These children are our future,â&#x20AC;? says Fridgen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s these children who make the substance abuse program so successful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes a big difference to have the kids involved in these contests. It really brings home what the effects of alcohol and drug abuse can have on their friends and families, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about awareness.â&#x20AC;?

ARNPRIOR'S HISTORIC THEATRE R0011964853
EMC entertainment - Organizers are promising a diverse musical experience for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBC Bluesfest, with booked performers designed to appeal to fans across a wide musical spectrum. The Bluesfest 2013 lineup was announced recently amid great anticipation as well as speculation. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival garnered criticism for its inclusion of what some concert-goers thought was too many electronic acts and too few bluesy acts. Organizers clearly hoped to change that impression with a something-for-everyone lineup, which includes popular indie/alternative acts like Fun, Tegan and Sara, Alex Clare, Mother Mother, Passion Pit and Weezer, along with classic rock acts like Rush, The Tragically Hip and Grand Funk Railroad. Electronic fans can still look forward to seeing Skrillex, while blues fans can anticipate a performance by blues legend B.B. King. In total, over 2,500 musicians will be featured on six stages located at Lebreton Flats - five outdoors and one 250-seat indoor theatre â&#x20AC;&#x153;We consider this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line-up to be one of the best of any across North America - it reaches out to a wide-ranging demographic with cutting edge performances as well as
festival favourites,â&#x20AC;? announced RBC Bluesfest programming director Mark Monahan via a media release. Now in its 20th year, Bluesfest will run over 10 days, starting July 4 and wrapping up July 14. The theme will be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Take Me to the Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and organizers plan to make further announcements regarding confirmed performers in the coming weeks. Voted one of the top music festivals in the world, Bluesfest is supported by all three levels of government Funding is received from Canadian Heritage, the Canadian Arts Preservation Fund, the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, the Ontario Arts Council, as well as the City of Ottawa. The festival generates several tens of millions of dollars worth of economic activity for the city each year, through accommodations, food and tourism. Entry into the Bluesfest grounds will be by way of transferrable wristbands or single-use day tickets. Admission wristbands went on sale online on Feb. 28 at www.capitaltickets.ca and in person March 2 at all Compact Music and Sports Experts locations. All ticket types can be also be purchased by calling Scotiabank Place at 613-5993267. More information on the Bluesfest 2013 lineup and related events can be found at www.ottawabluesfest.ca.

St. Paddy in Pakenham Now four Taste of the Valley hosts Tiffany Lepack
Steve Newman
Steve.newman@metroland.com
EMC news - Renfrew remains the closest of four Taste of the Valley hosts this year, as Arnprior, which held an event a couple of years ago, was not chosen for 2013. The program kicked off in 2007 to promote the sale of locally grown or made products. Following a successful, every-second-weekend farmers market in the summer and fall of 2012, Deep River is joining hosts Renfrew, Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay and Cobden. The dates of the 2013 Taste of the Valley events are Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay, Aug. 16; Renfrew, Sept. 21; Deep River, Oct. 5; and Cobden, Oct. 19. Cobden, with its location in the centre of the county, has been by far the most successful host of the program that markets local products, whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sweaters, recreational offerings, fruit, produce, dairy products, meat, honey or a wide variety of other items. Deep River was added as the fourth host following the evaluation of submissions for Taste of the Valley events in 2013. The committee also received strong submissions from Killaloe and Eganville, said Renfrew County business development officer Craig Kelley. The program is also undergoing some changes, as the county trades co-ordinating role for a supportive role, as the hosts are asked to become the chief operators. The cost per exhibitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s booth is also rising, after no fee changes since the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inception. Indoor booth rentals will jump from $50 to $75; outdoor booths from $25 to $50. Renfrew will be participating for the third consecutive year. Past participants no longer involved with Taste of the Valley are Petawawa and Arnprior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taste of the Valley has been one of our biggest successes,â&#x20AC;? said Kelley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing what it was meant to do, by encouraging local markets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I would say there are local markets in almost every community (in the county). The local-food movement has taken hold.â&#x20AC;? Deep River has a chance to do that after its successful farmers market attracted growers from across the county, said Kelley. Taste of the Valley will continue to be sponsored by the county and Pro Tyre of Renfrew, while the hosts, in Kelleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words, will become the â&#x20AC;&#x153;foot soldiersâ&#x20AC;? for parking, registration and other logistics.

Denzil Ferguson has been helping to organizer the annual St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Celebrations for 36 years and this year will be no different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have never had the opportunity to enjoy a good Irish dance, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good place to go,â&#x20AC;? said Ferguson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best dance floor in the Ottawa Valley. Everyone is friendly and I encourage anyone new and repeats to come to the dance.â&#x20AC;? There is a strong Irish feeling in Pakenham, as many of the founding families of the area hail from the land of the Shamrocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Irish tradition goes fairly deep in Pakenham,â&#x20AC;? explained Ferguson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ryans. Lunneys, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neils and Hunts all have a very large Irish connection.â&#x20AC;? Ferguson himself can trace both sides of his family back to Ireland back to the 1700s. The dance has a long history. It started off at the Pakenham School and Ferguson remembers when the featured entertainers, The Ryan Brothers, were â&#x20AC;&#x153;just lilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gaffers.â&#x20AC;? The Ryan Brothers were formed in 2003 and have played at wedding receptions, stags and many benefit events in the Ottawa Valley and have even played with Valley legend Gail Gavan at many private functions. They have also shared the stage with Natalie McMaster, Wayne Rostad, Mike Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly and many others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are an excellent band, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celtic, Irish, easy listening music. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional Valley music,â&#x20AC;? promised Ferguson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a well attended event, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a family tradition.â&#x20AC;? Ferguson also praises the talents of Felhaver from Braeside. As with any celebration, it comes with its fair share of fun memories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One time they even brought up a goat to the hall for the song Patty McGuintyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goat,â&#x20AC;? reminisced Ferguson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of good times, fun and enjoyment.â&#x20AC;? The event is open to everyone one (age of majority) and tickets are $15, which includes a light lunch. Tickets can be bought at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham or by calling Ferguson at 613-624-5435 or Nicholsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sundries 613-624-5505.

A devoted crew of volunteers serves a roast beef dinner to Mel Porter at the Arnprior Legion March 8. They are a “great group of folks,” says Legion representative Janet Tobio of the volunteers. “We couldn’t function without them.” In front from left are Betty Trahan, Doreen Nicholls, Shirley Langton and Theresa Carron; and in back Levi Trahan, Bernie Gorman and Frank Gorman.
EMC lifestyle – The most recent set of games in the Arnprior LegionKnights of Columbus euchre challenge held at the Legion was not pretty. The Knights were in disbelief as the Legion steamrolled over them by 21 games and now hold an incredible 61-game lead with one competition to go. The Knights will try to make up some ground to save face in the final set of games in the hallowed confines of the St. John Chrysostom parish hall Friday, March 22. Registration is at 6:30 p.m. and the games start at 7 p.m. Rumours persist that a copy of Kate Smith’s stirring song sang before so many Philadelphia Flyer wins will be played to celebrate the Legion’s victory. As well, through a confidential source it’s been learned there has been a run on brown paper bags from the Giant Tiger. Go figure. Good news is that the real winners are the local charities as all profits from the challenge are donated to them.
