It’s Terry Fox Run time

Sleepless in Arnprior Ottawa filmmaker Brett Kelly plays bad during a break from shooting a horror movie short at the Arnprior Guest House, owned by Theresa Dunn, last Saturday.

From left, in the background, are Dunn and actors Celine Filion, who plays the child’s mom, Scott McClelland, who plays the hotel owner, and Sam Ashe Arnold, who plays the role of a young child. The story line is that a mother and child check into a bed and breakfast in an unfamiliar community, where bad things happen when the child doesn’t go to bed on time.

Paralympian John Leslie to kick off Arnprior run

Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – The Arnprior Terry Fox Run this Sunday, Sept.

14 will feature a very special guest at its kick-off.

Hometown hero/Paralympian John Leslie will be on hand to help starts things off at the local event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Arnprior Fairgrounds.

Organizer Stephen Dodd encourages everyone to come out and enjoy the day. After all, said Dodd, it’s a great cause.

“What I really wanted to emphasize is The Terry Fox Foundation’s single mission is to fund innovative cancer research,” said Dodd. “It’s

independent, not associated with Canadian Cancer Society or any other cancer fundraising national organizations and 84 cents of every dollar raised goes to cancer research.”

To date, added Dodd, the foundation has raised more than $650 million for cancer research.

More than $230,000 has been raised at the Arnprior site over the years, said Dodd.

At last year’s run, there were 97 participants and $7,500 raised, which was almost double the amount raised in 2012.

“Once again we’re just looking to get numbers increased,” said Dodd. “My

hope this year is to match what we did in 2013 and if we surpass it then that’s awesome.”

He expressed his thanks to former organizer of the local run Rita Clouthier.

“My hat is really off to her,” said Dodd.

There will be a free barbecue for participants and those not in the run can enjoy the barbecue with a donation.

Pledge forms can be picked up right up until the start of the event at Peebles at the Arnprior Mall, Play It Again Sports, Goldbar, Home Hardware, the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, Arnprior Bowler, Arnprior Public Library, town hall and The Cupboard.

Deadline Friday to enter municipal races STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Long-time resident Danny Martin enters council election News – Tired of standing by as his hometown drifts toward bedroom community status, Danny Martin has decided to do something about it.

He is running for a town councillor seat in the Oct. 27 election. “I want to have some inuence over the community I live in,â€? Martin said. “I have a bit of a Norman Rockwell-esque vision of Arnprior. It should have a small town atmosphere, not be just another bedroom community for Ottawa.â€?

He laments the loss of character in Carleton Place, suggesting it is now largely populated by residents with little concern for the town’s history and future. He doesn’t want that for Arnprior, though he admits some part of that vision is inevitable.

Martin said he would use his education and experience toward every decision at the council table. It is true he hasn’t attended meetings as a member

DANNY MARTIN of the public, and he retains the right to do background studies on upcoming issues.

But he vows, should he win one of ďŹ ve seats, to get himself informed on issues facing council, apply logic, and take actions in the best interests of the town as a whole.

Some longtime politicians, says the Royal Canadian Legion national headquarters employee, get too close to the bureaucracy and outside stakeholders. “I offer a fresh perspective.

Sometimes people can get stale and complacent, and unduly inuenced by other factors,� he said.

He wants a more livable town, one with an active and bustling marina, beach facilities at least as good as they were when he was a kid in the 1960s. He would also like to see a campground, possibly along the Madawaska River.

Bell Park is under utilized, he said. The war memorial should be moved from in front of the hospital to a newly created park across William Street from the LCBO. Bringing tourists back is key, he said. “You have to visit ďŹ rst before you come back,â€? he said. “We don’t even get a mention in Ottawa. We’re supposed to be The Gateway to the Upper Ottawa.â€?

He wants close connections between the town and provincial and federal representatives.

He said MP Cheryl Gallant and MPP John Yakabuski should be doing everything they can to satisfy the needs of the Town of Arnprior.

Martin spent 23 years in military before moving over to the legion, where he organizes the national track and ďŹ eld com-

petition among other duties.

He, along with wife Pam from Braeside, have been back in town for 17 years. They raised two boys here, Martin volunteering for ďŹ ve years with them in Cub Scouts.

He also holds a bachelor of arts in political science.

Martin grew up on Albert Street overlooking the falls; now he’s on the side, next to Hydro Park. It’s not a long distance, he said, but it is a different perspective.

He also attended grade school with Mayor David Reid.

He has complaints about the current council, even though he understands that challengers ought to punch holes in an incumbent’s record in order to replace them. “I know you open yourself up to a lot of criticism when you are elected. But I’m not the critical type,� he said.

On the service agreements controversy with McNabBraeside, Martin didn’t mince words. “That’s petty politics at its worst.�

He said the two communities are too small not to work closely together. He also doesn’t buy the claim that the township somehow holds a distinctly rural culture.

Martin places himself some-

Art Smith signs on to run for Arnprior council Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com News – Slow down residential developments and speed up downtown occupancy rates; that’s the message from Arnprior council candidate Art Smith.

The co-founder and primary organizer of the White Pine Festival says older homes shouldn’t have to compete with a glut of new developments. Large trucks are destroying area roads

with the end goal of turning the town into another Ottawa bedroom community.

A 32-year resident of Arnprior, Smith isn’t against all developments: those that bring in tourists, such as the now-abandoned idea to convert the pathway between the library and Robert Simpson Park into a wooden boardwalk, should be pursued, he said. “Why don’t we slow down the housing and give our real estate companies a chance to sell all the older houses that are on every street in town?� he said. “If done properly that boardwalk could have paid for itself in a few years

Recreation major issue for new councillor candidate Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

SCOTT BRUM 13. In addition to my many years of volunteerism, I also worked in the recreation field for several years, at what was then the Corel Centre,” said Brum He has also owned, run and operated two successful businesses in the community and has now been employed with Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited for the past eight years.

His decision to run was borne from his love of the community. “For some time now, I have had several people approach me, asking me to run in the election, based on my extensive background in recreation, both professionally and through my many volunteer endeavors over the years,” said Brum.

Family is a major part of Brum’s life. “My wife of 18 years, Debbie, works at the Arnprior hospital and we have three beautiful children, Mackenzie, Brooke and Kyle,” said Brum. “We raise our children in this very community with the same values, work ethic and common sense that we were raised with. I am very thankful to my family, who has always been, and continues to be so supportive of the volunteer work that I do to serve the community.

I only wish to continue to contribute my time and efforts, in a manner that I think can make a meaningful difference.”

Brum joins Heather Lang, Lou Laventure and Coun. Robert Campbell in the race for three spots.

News – Scott Brum wants to make a difference in McNab-Braeside Township.

Brum, who has just thrown his hat into the ring in the councillor race, said access to recreation is among the biggest issues facing the township.

“The main reason I’m running in the upcoming election is to increase awareness and bring to the forefront the recreation needs of our township,” said Brum.

Recreational services and opportunities in the township need restructuring, said Brum.

“In doing this, we will have the ability to provide current and up to date programs on par with other surrounding communities, while maintaining our low taxes,” he said.

Brum has a long history of volunteering. “I truly believe that the desire to serve your community is in your blood,” said Brum.

He started volunteering at the age of 16 as a minor hockey coach and since then has been involved with minor hockey, minor ball, tween dances and with the organization of several local community events.

His role with the Arnprior Agricultural Society has been a major one, having served for many years on the board of directors.

“Due to hard work, accountability and determination, and passion that I have for our community way of life, I currently hold the position of vice-president of the board. As of this year, I have taken on the position of chairman of the Arnprior Farmers Market,” said Brum.

In terms of professional experience, Brum said his recreation knowledge will go a long way towards helping him be a successful councillor. “I have worked in and around all aspects of recreation throughout my life, since the age of

News - School board elections will be held throughout Ontario Oct. 27, as voters in every town, city and region choose school trustees for 72 school boards.

That’s why the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association and the Ontario Catholic Schoool Trustees’ Association – along with L’Association des conseils scholaries des ecoles publiques de l’Ontario and L’Association franco-ontarienne des conseils scholaires catholiques – have come together to create a unique website that profiles school board trustees in Ontario’s 72 school boards.

The site is unique because for the first time the public can easily access information about trustees candidates based on where they live and the schoool board they support.

This is aimed to help voters make informed choices on election day.

The comprehensive website, www.elections. ontarioschooltrustees.org, also features: • brand new videos promoting the role of trsutees and school board elections; • downloadable guides on running for school board trustee or hosting an all-candidates meeting; • printable posters for downloading to promote the election; • information on school boards and the pub-

TRUSTEES AND DEMOCRACY

School board trustees are the only democratically-elected individuals working locally for the education of Ontario’s children.

The project’s goal is to help Ontarians understand what trustees do, promote school board elections and encourage new candidates to run.

As of Monday, Glenn Miller was the only candidate to file for the Arnprior-McNab-Braeside school trustee position on the Renfrew County public school board and incumbent Andy Bray was the only candidate in the race for the Arnprior-McNab-Braeside-Greater Madawaska seat in the Renfrew County Catholic school board.

Long-time trustee Colette Stitt and Andre Yonkeu are vying for Renfrew-Lanark-South Algonquin trustee on the Conseil des ecoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario school board.

The deadline to file to run in the Oct. 27 election is this Friday, Sept. 12 at 2 p.m.

McNab-Braeside set to host first auto extrication competition volunteer ‘patients’ will wear microphones so officials and spectators can hear what’s going on.

Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – Members of the public have a rare opportunity to see some of the province’s finest firefighters in action this Saturday.

The McNab-Braeside Fire Department and the Firefighters Association will host the 2014 Eastern Ontario Auto Extrication Competition Sept. 13 on Russet Drive at station one and in the township office parking lot.

The event is free of charge to attend and should be quite a show.

“Come on out and see our emergency responders at work. It’s a unique experience - you don’t get to see this anywhere else,” said McNab Braeside Firefighters Association event co-chair Karen Barsoski.

McNab-Braeside is the only municipality to host an extrication competition in Ontario this year, she added. It’s the first time in history the township has hosted an event of this kind.

“We’re really looking forward to it. It’s been a lengthy process getting it all together.”

The township’s endorsement of the event has been very helpful.

“Our council has been very supportive and worked in conjunction with the fire department and firefighters association for the event,” said Barsoski.

McNab-Braeside’s team will be joined by two from Ottawa and others from Burlington, Loyalist Township, Pakenham and Whitewa-

The event begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday with opening ceremonies, followed by a presentation from Toyota Canada on extrication from hybrid vehicles.

The talk is aimed at emergency responders and will feature extrication from two vehicles – one hybrid and one fully electric.

“There are different safety aspects - you need to know how to depower and how to proceed when these vehicles are involved in an accident,” said Barsoski. “That technology is taking off and they are a lot different than just a normal gas engine. We want to make sure we’re up to date.”

On Saturday, the competition gets underway at 8 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m. There will be seven teams competing from across the province.

Several truck manufacturers will have displays on the grounds Saturday, as well and Billy T’s chip truck will keep the hungry event goers happy.

The world championships will be held in Rochester, N.Y., a week after the local contest and perhaps one or more of the teams competing locally will be heading to that, said Barsoski.

More than just projects, jobs Even if you can’t attend the celebration Saturday, spare a warm thought for the Sullivan family and the immense contribution they have made to this community.

Sept. 13 has been officially declared M. Sullivan and Son Ltd. Day in Arnprior as a tribute to the family-owned company that is marking its 100th anniversary.

The town will make a presentation to the company at 10 a.m. Saturday to be followed with a barbecue and family-friendly festivities at the Sullivan’s RONA outlet.

You’re all invited to the free shindig, so come on down. Usually, 100th birthdays are rather tame affairs, given that 100-year-olds aren’t up for lengthy and boisterous partying.

However, M. Sullivan and Son is hardly your normal 100-year-old. It’s still as hale and hearty, probably more so, as it was as a rambunctious teenager.

Listening to all the stories at the gala dinner and dance the company held in May at the wonderfully transformed Nick Smith Centre made one realize what a positive impact M. Sullivan and Son had on this area.

The company has provided many decent paying jobs, of course, and built many of our most important building up and down the Valley and beyond.

But it also has provided immeasurable leadership and support in so many community initiatives and continues to do so to this day.

Where would the health, education, community living, recreation, entertainment and many other efforts that make this such a wonderful place to live be without the personal interest the Sullivan family and their employees took to ensure they are properly funded.

Many times, company principals have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to benefit the lifestyle of their fellow residents.

The interest in the community also took a political turn as the legendary Tommy Sullivan took a turn on council as one of the town’s most proactive and outspoken mayors.

The list of company accomplishments as shared by speakers at the gala was indeed impressive. Mayor David Reid, MPP John Yakabuski, A Hundred Years on a Handshake author Brian Hanington, and various industry and government officials who have dealt with the company over the years shared stories showing how well M. Sullivan and Son did business.

Hanington brought heartfelt congratulations from Governor-General David Johnston, who said the book on the Sullivans was a joy to read and that the ‘handshake’ in the title represented the social connection, trust, firmness and resilience the company has shown over the years.

But perhaps the most heartfelt comments were by one of the Sullivans. Maurice Sullivan reminisced about how he admired the company’s employees who worked so hard, particularly in the early days before technology and sophisticated machinery made the job easier. And he went even further, paying homage to the workers’ wives and families at home who keep everything together despite not having all the fancy household appliances that spoil today’s generation.

That respect for the company’s workers and their families speak volumes.

No wonder M. Sullivan and Son has been so successful.

Strike justified To the editor: Re: Strike, ParaMed/home care workers I am not in favour of strikes. I believe that, in some cases, they are created through greed, not necessity.

But I do back up 100 per cent the present strike by the above-mentioned workers.

I am fortunate to benefit from the services of one and I find her punctual, caring, knowledgeable

and willing to do literally anything that is within her scope. I firmly believe that the wages earned by these workers are not commensurate with their worth, especially when compared to the salaries earned by their administrators.

Home care workers are in the front line of the system and have often been responsible for spotting changes in their clients at an early stage.

A strike creates hardship and I hope that in this case it will have been justified.

Valley woman coming to Arnprior to get the jump on MS Community – A Valley woman hasn’t let Multiple Sclerosis keep her down.

In fact, Jo-Anne Matthie has made a remarkable recovery from the most debilitating effects of the condition.

Now she’s promoting awareness of the disease and hope by taking on challenges that she has been unable to tackle for years. And sky-diving for the first time is one.

Multiple Sclerosis is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada. An estimated 100,000 Canadians are living with MS and three new Canadians are diagnosed each day.

Matthie was diagnosed with MS in 2000, though she had suspected she had it for a number of years. Mild symptoms started to appear when she was in her late 20s, but medical tests over the years could find no explanation and they often dissipated, usually to appear again at a later date.

MS feeds on stress and because of an extreme amount of it in the late 1990s, her multiple sclerosis exacerbated and changed her life completely.

Perhaps the most common affliction with MS is the overwhelming fatigue. It is like trying to run through water up to your neck, she reports.

There is also a great deal of pain.

Numbness and tingling in your lower legs and hands makes it difficult, if not impossible, to walk, write or type and problems with balance create many tumbles. Most people with MS have been accused of being drunk because of their stumbling gait.

Vision can change on a daily basis and hearing can be affected as well.

Damage to the brain destroys thought processes, which is very frustrating.

There are many other symptoms and no two people are the same.

With MS, you never know who you are going to be tomorrow.

By 2013 Matthie was only able to walk a little, with the assistance of a walker or cane. Preparations were underway to install a stair rider and papers were being filled out to get a wheel chair in the near future. MS had advanced to the next stage and the point of no return.

Then in July 2013 a “miracle” happened. She suddenly, and with

no explanation, started to feel better.

She still has MS afflictions, but considers them minor comparatively to how she used to suffer.

When her grandson was born in 2011, she was only able to hold him while sitting down and with someone beside her, supervising in case she ran into trouble. Two years later she takes him on her adventure walks and plays hockey with him in her driveway or living room. She even found herself carrying him up a steep hill one day when he said he was too tired to make it.

Her head began to clear from the damage to her brain, so she could think and speak coherently once more. Life is good again, she says.

Matthie is fully aware that this may not last but is making the most out of each day, taking long walks, enjoying her passion for gardening and playing with her grandson.

A competitive water skier in her youth, she is planning to water ski again this summer and downhill ski this winter.

Although she is 62 years of age, she says nothing is going to stop her

Student’s guitar wish comes true An Arnprior District High School student who collapsed during a football practice last year had his wish fulfilled thanks to the Makea-Wish Foundation and Mill Music.

The teenager was resuscitated, but faces a long recovery. “His wish was to have a new guitar and a sound system,” explained Mill Music owner Steve St. Michael. In conjunction with the Make-a-Wish Foundation, the store reduced its prices so his wish could come true.

TO PROTECT ONTARIO’S BIODIVERSITY. Ontario Power Generation is conducting research downstream of OPG’s Chenaux and Chats Falls hydroelectric generating stations. This research, which is being carried out by Kleinschmidt Associates, is in support of OPG’s ongoing American eel migration studies and the enhancement of Ontario’s lake sturgeon population.

Kleinschmidt’s boat may be in close proximity to the shoreline as it completes day and night-time fishing abundance studies and shoreline inspections. This yearly research is being conducted under permits from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and in accordance with O. Reg. 242/08 (as amended by O. Reg. 176/13) under the Ontario Endangered Species Act. Work will continue until the end of October.

10 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, September 11, 2014

News – Among the many people taking time to comment on the impact Arnprior-based company M. Sullivan and Son has had on the area and province in its 100 years was Canada Governor General David Johnston.

With this Saturday having been declared M. Sullivan and Son Ltd. Day in Arnprior, it’s timely to share some of the remarks by Johnston, as related by author Brian Hanington at the May gala marking the company’s 100th anniversary.

In his speech to the large crowd at the Nick Smith Centre, Hanington, who wrote the history of the company in A Hundred Years on a Handshake, explained that he had received a letter from the Governor General, who has a history with Arnprior, albeit brief as he lived there a short time in his younger days.

Hanington explained that Johnston, himself an accomplished academic and historian, had received a copy of A Hundred Years on a Handshake.

His response to Hanington’s book is as follows.

“A Hundred Years On A Handshake was a joy to read. The title tells so much.

“The handshake evokes social connection, trust, firmness and resilience. It signifies a bond.

“The Sullivan story and the Sullivan personalities that burst from these pages are replete with these qualities.

“The hundred years places the reader in time and space that connotes endurance and steadfastness. It depicts the Ottawa valley through a long period of years – five generations - that saw so much change in Canada and so much in-

novation and adaptability in this unique region.

“This is a compelling story of a remarkable family who have created a sustainable building enterprise set firmly in the qualities celebrated in the title.

“And the generations of Sullivan leaders are captured so well in the artful description of memorable and very human personalities.

“I must confess a personal connection with the story,” wrote Johnston.

“My Northern Irish protestant ancestors fled the Irish Potato Famine in 1846 and settled on a farm near Carleton Place. They later migrated to Sault Ste. Marie around 1900.

LIVED AT JOHN, MADAWASKA

“But when I was six years old, my father came to Arnprior for one year to start with a partner a hardware store, a Massey Ferguson and Cockshut farm tractor and implement business before returning to Sault Ste. Marie where I grew up.

“We lived 30 feet from the corner of John and Madawaska streets.

“Shortly after my wife and I moved to Ottawa over three years ago to take up my present job, we bought a farm at Ashton Station near Carleton Place. And there we will live when we step down from this job.

“So we will once again be neighbours with the Sullivans, who came to the Valley from Ireland just a few years after my family and we will look forward to many more handshakes, which will endure to the benefit of all over the years to come.

“My warmest congratulations to you all.”

See SULLIVAN, Page 11

Public invited to join 100th celebration News – The public is invited to drop by the Arnprior RONA store this Saturday, Sept. 13 and help M. Sullivan and Son celebrate its 100th anniversary.

Town council has declared Sept.

13 M. Sullivan and Son Day in Arnprior.

The festivities will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at RONA, 236 Madawaska Blvd. Town officials, who have agreed to name a new park on Short Street, will make a special presentation to the company at 11:30 a.m.

The celebration will also in-

clude free barbecued hotdogs and hamburgers, drinks, birthday cake, children games, face-painting and T-shirts.

“Come celebrate our 100th birthday,” invites the company, explaining the event is a “thank you to the community for your support over the last 100 years.”

M. Sullivan and Son is the longest running family-owned business in the area.

It has won several awards for its construction work and has been named one of Canada’s best managed companies.

Sullivan book brings back memories Continued from Page 10

Hanington closed his speech with some other quotes from one of the many positive review the book has received.

The Nova Scotia reviewer wrote: “Here in Canada there was a time in living memory, a time before the mixed blessings of technology seemed to trump Mother Nature, a time before big business and big government superseded community, when people knew who they were because they knew where they were

from, and because of that were able to reach heretofore unparalleled levels of accomplishment.

“Communities blossomed, exemplary education and health care proliferated and everything was done with people first thinking kindness, compassion … for the benefit of all.

“While all this sounds like some fairy tale, this is the actual, riveting story of the temperament, talents and convictions of an Ottawa River Valley family called the Sullivans whose determination and Herculean ef-

forts created and sustained a familyowned-and-operated company that changed the face of central Canada forever.”

Hanington obviously agreed.

“My friends, it took 100 years to change the face of central Canada forever, but that’s what the people what you people - of this company have done.

“Please join me now in a toast.

Together, we raise our glasses to the Sullivans to the Ottawa Valley and to Canada.”

Gallant shares Sullivan accomplishments in Commons News – The exploits of the Arnprior company M. Sullivan & Sons were raised in the House of Commons.

On the same day the company held a 100th anniversary celebration in Arnprior, RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant rose in the House to share some thoughts with MPS. “This year marks 100 years in business for the oldest family-owned, privately run construction company in Canada,” said Gallant.

“It was my privilege to know Tommy Sullivan, company founder Maurice’s grandson. He built up M. Sullivan & Son in the modern age.”

Based in eastern Ontario, M. Sullivan and Sons went from $5,012 in revenues in its first year to more than $100 million in annual sales today. The Arnprior-based company has been recognized as one of Canada’s 50 best-managed companies.

Gallant noted that a book, ‘A Hundred Years on a Handshake’, was recently published to commemorate the company’s “amazing achievement.”

The Sullivans came from an era when a handshake meant something, she explained.

“The secret of M. Sullivan and Sons’ success, according to ‘A Hundred Years a Handshake’ is loyalty: loyalty to its customers and to its employees,” said Gallant. “M. Sullivan & Son can boast of an employee still with the company after 72 years of service. Not many other companies can say the same thing.

“Tommy Sullivan was also a community minded man, serving as mayor and deputy mayor of Arnprior, sitting on Renfrew County Council, a director of the Eastern Ontario Development Corporation, and as governor of the Ottawa Hospital Board.”

Team Lori members are among the 37 walkers at Burnstown’s Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk in Burnstown Sunday. The second annual event raised $10,150, with more donations still being made online this week. From left are Pat Gates of Russell, Joanne Tanguay of Ottawa, Christine Gates of Russell and ovarian cancer survivor Lori Knox of Arnprior.

Event chair Denyse Campeau said she hopes the local walk continues to remind people that ovarian cancer research continues to need support, with the knowledge that 70 per cent of the 2,600 Canadians diagnosed each year with this cancer die within five years.

Joyriders damage corn crops: OPP

Arnprior mayor appointed to provincial housing task force News – Arnprior Mayor David Reid has been appointed to a provincial committee tasked to tackle the housing “crisis” facing Ontario residents with developmental disabilities.

An estimated 12,000 people with disabilities in the province are on waiting lists for appropriate housing. Many younger residents are temporarily placed in long-term care homes, which authorities agree are far from the best placement for them.

The new committee stems from a report issued last September by a provincial Housing Study Group appointed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services in conjunction with the Developmental Services Sector Partnership Table.

The report, entitled ‘Ending the Wait – an Action Agenda to Address the Housing Crisis Confronting Ontario Adults with Developmental Disabilities’, made several key recommendations, including the creation of a Capacity-Building Task Force, which has since been created.

The Ministry of Community and Social Services, considered 70 highly

DAVID REID qualified candidates from all over the province for membership to the Developmental Services Housing Task Force, so it’s coup for Arnprior to have its mayor chosen.

“Mayor Reid’s personal and professional experience with persons with developmental disabilities and land development make the mayor a highly

qualified appointee to this very important provincial initiative,” said Arnprior CAO Michael Wildman in a news release.

“Mayor Reid’s expertise will most certainly be a benefit to the task force.”

Over the course of its two-year mandate, the task force will: • review proposals and make recommendations on innovative housing solutions for the adult developmental services system; • develop online resources to help people access information, collaborate and support each other in exploring and creating successful housing solutions; • develop a framework for capacitybuilding projects and recommend housing projects for potential government investment and evaluation.

The task force will begin its work this month.

News – The OPP is investigating reports of someone driving through corn fields and damaging crops on Russett Drive in McNab-Braeside Aug. 28.

A similar incident of vandalism to a corn field on South McNaughton Drive in Admaston-Bromley was reported on Sept 1. It occurred the night before.

The OPP are asking that anyone who witnesses this type of incident call them at 1-888-310-1122.

HOSES, WOOD MISSING

Since the fall of 2013, someone has been stealing hydraulic hoses from farm equipment at a farm on Yantha Road in McNab-Braeside.

The thefts have been ongoing

and involve hydraulic pumps and hoses, report police.

Two cords of firewood were stolen from a property on River Road in McNabBraeside. The thief used a half ton truck to remove the wood. The theft occurred sometime this month.

SHOPLIFTING

The complaints were among 298 calls for service the Renfrew and Arnprior OPP received last week.

There were nine calls regarding domestic disputes and two dealing with shoplifting at Walmart in Renfrew.

The two people nabbed for in the two separate shoplifting incidents were 17 and 12 years old. Both received warnings.

Canada’s new anti-spam law was passed in December 2010, and following a Governor in Council order, it entered into force on July 1, 2014.

The law will help to protect Canadians while ensuring that businesses can continue to compete in the global marketplace.

On January 15, 2015, sections of the Act related to the unsolicited installation of computer programs or software come into force.

Brad will be there to explain the law and answer any questions you may have.

Clients left in the lurch as Paramed-workers strike Peter Clark Peter.clark@metroland.com

travel further than they did before without any mileage rate adjustment, explained Brennan.

“So we would have to travel from Arnprior up to Deep River.”

She said Paramed didn’t think its workers would go on strike, but “we proved them wrong.”

Brennan said she felt sorry for the clients, “but you’ve got to stand up for what you want.”

One local resident vastly affected by the strike is Rose Ann Kunopaskie. She is a quadriplegic, and received no service on the first night of the strike.

Through some phone calls, Kunopaskie was eventually able to get services arranged for the second day.

“I’d see a different person every day. That gets so stressful,” Kunopaskie said of the days since.

“The Paramed people become like family,” she added of her regular homecare workers.

Kunopaskie understands why they are on strike, but is hoping to see the strike settled sooner rather than later.

The Champlain CCAC has responded to the dispute by ask-

ing agencies in the county to prioritize ParaMed’s most acute patients.

While the most needy patients could get service, it will likely mean longer waits to access care from the other agencies and affect the service for patients outside of Renfrew County.

News - Paramed Home Health Care workers in Renfrew County walked off the job and picked up their pickets in downtown Renfrew last Tuesday, Sept. 2.

The labour dispute leaves as many as 1,200 clients in need of home care help without their regular caregivers.

“Paramed wants to freeze our wages for five years. They have already been frozen for three,” OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union) Local 492 secretary Debbie Brennan said.

The starting wage for a home support worker at Paramed is $12.28 an hour.

“We have to use our own cars to get from point A to point B to service clients,” Brennan added.

“We are not getting compensated. Insurance is going up, gas is going up, everything’s going up. A lot of the girls are living paycheck to paycheck.”

Their geographic area would be extended, forcing workers to

The County of Renfrew announced last week that the rehabilitation of the road from Highway 60 to Whitton Road and Highway 17 to Goshen Road will continue to mid-October.

During construction, the road will

White Lake group sounds alarm about algae blooms peter.clark@metroland.com

News - There are growing concerns about algae in a a number of lakes in the region, among them White Lake.

On Aug. 27 in Calabogie, Greater Madawaska council heard concerns about the condition of the lake from the newly-created White Lake Preservation Project.

The WLPP has sent letters with a survey out to all property owners on White Lake.

“The organization was formed because we have concerns about the current and future condition of the lake, and would like to be proactive in assessing its condition and taking mea-

sures to protect it,” property owner and WLPP chairperson Janet Taylor told council.

Taylor, Doug Smith and Conrad Gregoire head the project, and attended the council meeting. They had made a presentation to McNab-Braeside council earlier this year.

Taylor said algae and weeds are major concerns. There were two algal blooms on White Lake in 2013, one in the spring and a blue-green algal bloom in late September.

Both were confirmed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.

Blue-green algae can be accompanied by toxins, which, if above a certain level, will result in closure of the lake by the Ministry of Health for all

recreational purposes, and as a water source, Taylor explained.

Fortunately, that wasn’t the case this time, she said.

“Increases in algae and weeds are primarily the result of the levels of phosphorus in the water. Phosphorus levels in the lake are mainly the result of human activity,” the WLPP noted in the letter.

“Once phosphorus levels become high in a lake, it is virtually impossible to rectify the situation.”

A new 200-site trailer park is proposed for the south end of White Lake at Bennett’s Point. The new camp site will be located by a provincially-protected wetland, Taylor said.

The camp site will include a marina

and swimming pool, require a significant sewage system, draw a large amount of water from the lake, and add significantly to boat traffic.

“The trailer park application is somewhere in the review process. But it appears that the public comment period may be over,” the WLPP said.

Taylor would like to get the neighbouring townships of the lake together to discuss the concerns.

Smith said the group would appreciate an expression of support from Greater Madawaska for the concept of what it is doing. It hopes to get a Trillium grant to do a study on the lake.

“This (council’s support) will go a long way in helping us get a Trillium grant.” It would show that a large

MB council paves the way for secondary dwellings Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – McNab-Braeside is open for business for secondary dwellings.

Council passed an official plan amendment Aug. 26 that allows

for granny flats or basement apartments in residences, an option that was previously restricted.

“It’s big news for us and nobody’s been covering it,” said Mayor Mary Campbell. “Congratulations council. This may be one of the most important things we’ve

done in four years.”

The change does not mean two homes can be built on one lot, explained building inspector Chris Vereyken.

“For things like granny suites or an upstairs apartment in a garage, was the intent,” said Vereyken.

number of people on the lake are interested, and that councillors are involved, Smith added.

“That is exactly what they are looking for, for granting fairly large amounts of money for ongoing research. And it benefits everybody,” Smith added.

Mayor Peter Emon said council will support the WLPP’s Trillium grant application, which is to collect information on the condition of the lake, identify areas of vulnerability and implement stewardship programs, land use planning and policy approaches to protect and improve its condition.

In the last few months there had been several requests to do this, said Vereyken.

Does he see it as a positive change?

“I think so. It’s going to help people out financially. People have more options with their property and can earn a second income with a rental unit,” said Vereyken.

Tour to help determine future of rail corridor Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

GIRONES LAWYERS

INJURY LAW

The major part, about 170 kilometres of the 302-km railway line, is within Renfrew County.

One of the interesting findings from the tour, said Sweet, was that the farming community learned they could use the abandoned railway bed to access their own farm land. “For the most part, I think there’s quite a bit of compatibility with all the land-use owners along the trail. We saw where the trails went through urban and rural environments, suburban, close to recreational facilities.�

With the tour, Sweet says the county delegation saw that the railway beds have become wellaccepted sites for recreational activities, and for lower management costs than anticipated.

For example, Hastings County’s annual management cost for its abandoned railway line is $25,000, which was used last year as seed money for $140,000 in grant money Davis said Hastings’ 140-kilometre railway bed was bought for $100,000 in 1999, unlike Grey County that paid $1.50 for an abandoned railway bed.

Grey County’s annual maintenance costs are $75,000, which includes an annual application of four kilometres of stone dust. Over Hastings County’s 140 kilometres, there are only five gates, unlike Grey County where a conservation authority overseas the trail and has

Davis also talked about partnerships, and how they have helped shoulder costs for upgrades on both trails.

It is unknown what the purchase price will be for the abandoned railway bed, but that should be determined this fall. “We have our ideas and thoughts, and without divulging any strategy going forward, we’re going to have to sit down� said Sweet. “There’s going to be some stiff bargaining on the part of CP, and I understand that, but we’re certainly going to get the best deal we can for the partnership along the line.�

The late-July delegation also saw advertising opportunities on the trails, where signs directed trail users to retail businesses. “It’s a great opportunity for signage, which is a revenue generator,� said Sweet. “It’s just a great opportunity. I think we have to work hard to maintain the continuity of the line (without breaks in the line along the way).�

The Canadian Pacific railway bed was officially abandoned about two years ago, but minimal rehabilitation and equipment clean-up remains to be done.

News - A fact-finding tour of abandoned railway beds in Grey and Hastings counties by Renfrew County officials is part of the continuing process to develop a recreational trail system on the abandoned Canadian Pacific railway bed running through the county.

The visits occurred in late July to discover lessons learned and development stages for abandoned railway beds. The visiting officials were Jason Davis, manager of forestry and GIS services for Renfrew County; Bob Sweet, Petawawa mayor and chairman of the county’s railway liaison committee; Renfrew County chief administrative officer Jim Hutton; and development and property director Paul Moreau.

Davis, along with Sweet, gave an overview of the visits at the Aug. 27 session of Renfrew County council. “I know there are a lot of municipalities out there wondering where we are going,� Sweet told county council. “We want to be transparent about this particular situation,� added Sweet. He acknowledged the railway bed’s future will impact many municipalities and stakeholders, including McNab-Braeside and Arnprior.

Renfrew County’s Canadian Pacific advisory committee continues to seek feedback on how other municipalities have pursued

the development of abandoned railway beds.

Sweet says the local advisory committee members, which include Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe of Admaston-Bromley and Reeve Don Rathwell of Whitewater Region, are willing to visit county municipalities to outline how this process is unfolding and to hear any local concerns. “The reason we went down there (to Grey and Hastings) was the similarity in the trails,� said Sweet. “They were both abandoned, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to find out how they operate and what they did to acquire the lines. I don’t need to invent the wheel. “If there were some things we were thinking of doing, we would ask about that, and were perhaps channelled in a different direction, or advised to make sure we got a summary of the condition of the structures.�

The tour delegates also asked questions about the governance model annual costs, volume of trail use and how certain challenges were mitigated, so Renfrew County doesn’t make similar mistakes when they develop the abandoned Canadian Pacific railway bed, after it is purchased.

Renfrew County is negotiating this fall – along with the other host municipalities of Lanark County, the City of Ottawa and PapineauCameron – to obtain the corridor that runs from Smiths Falls to Mattawa.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

The series begins with an issue close to home with a talk based on the Appleton Wetlands and the findings outlined in an MVFN report the Appleton Wetland: Its Decline, Cause and Recommended Action released last month.

The Appleton silver maple swamp, which has been flooded each spring for generations, is designated as a provincially significant wetland and an ANSI or area of natural and scientific interest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; declared by the provincial government in recognition of its unique ecological features. By 2006 however, extensive damage to the flood-tolerant trees in the wetland became obvious.

Concerns about the decline were raised to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) to no avail.

In 2011, and again in 2013, MVFN formed a research group to examine the possible causes of damage to the trees, including the possibility of adverse effects due to continually high water levels as a result of ongoing power generation operations in Almonte.

Speaker for the Appleton Wetland Report presentation will be Al Seaman, a professional engineer, member of MVFNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Appleton Wetland Research Group and lead author of the report released in August.

Seaman, an Almonte resident and native of the northwestern Quebec mining town of Noranda, graduated from McGill University as an electrical engineer. Early on in his career he realized that goals of industry do not always respect the requirements of pristine nature.

Seamanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lecture topic is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) natural history lecture series resumes for a new season on Thursday, Sept. 18 in Almonte.

The theme for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series is a twist on the conundrum â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When A Tree Falls in the Forest, Does Anyone Hear?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; If no one is there to hear the sound of a tree as it crashes through the undergrowth to the forest floor, was it ever there?

Nature teaches that when people ignore the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crashing treesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, they do so at our own peril. Like a stone dropped into a pond, the impacts of changes to the natural environment grow in an ever-widening circle, reaching into every aspect of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speakers will challenge their audience to inform themselves and engage or perhaps re-engage with important issues affecting the natural world.

A moment later a pack of wolves also responded, but they were distant, somewhere at the opposite end of the airfield beside which we had howled.

That was the first time Coyotes answered on a Wolf Howl, which have now taken place for nearly 20 years.

Bonnechere happens to be at the contact zone for both species because the open fields and scattered woodlots are ideal for Coyotes while the continuous forest in nearby Algonquin Park is perfect habitat for Eastern Wolves.

MP targets lobbyists out to axe local jobs

NDP defence critic to visit for party’s annual meeting Sept. 17

fold. First by paying for the publishing of inaccurate or misleading information about Canadian forestry practices, including fanning the flames of ‘climate hysteria’, and by ‘greenmail’, which is a method used by climate extremists to extort money from companies under the pretext of ‘saving’ the environment. The same mis-information is then used as a fundraising tool to seek donations from an unsuspecting public.

“As what has been demonstrated by the industrial wind turbine lobby in Ontario, this is all about using climate hysteria to line the pockets of a few political insiders.”

Gallant said she is particularly concerned by a foreign article, produced by the ‘Big Green’ lobby in Washington, attacking Canadian silviculture methods.

“In this case, the article appeared as a byline in a Canadian newspaper, where Algonquin Park was mentioned.

I know that the forestry management techniques used by the Algonquin Forestry Authority based here in Pembroke are first class.

“In addition to the loss of local jobs, the other losers are the Canadian consumer, who end up paying higher prices,” she added. “Foreign lobbyists would like to see less competition from Canadian forest producers.

“Artificial forest certification requirements, which is something foreign lobbyists are paying certain groups to demand, are just another trade barrier like the dispute over softwood lumber. We all know how harmful that dispute was to the Canadian forestry industry,” noted Gallant.

“The same is true for our local world-class nuclear industry that provides thousands of local jobs and tens of thousands more jobs in the Canadian economy.

“People who work in our nuclear industry know the role green-house gas free nuclear power plays in climate stabilization. Instead, we have the foreign inspired so-called Ontario Green Energy Act that has led to the highest electricity prices in North America and the loss of 350,000 manufacturing jobs in this province.”

News – With security issues very much in the news, the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke federal NDP has arranged to have the party’s defence critic Jack Harris speak at its annual meeting Wednesday, Sept. 17.

The public is welcome at the meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the Eganville Legion.

In a news release announcing Harris’ visit to the riding, the NDP says he has distinguished himself in Parliament as a “dogged and well-informed voice on military, security and veterans’ issues.”

He was first elected MP for the St. John’s East in 2008 and re-elected in 2011. He was Leader of the New Democratic Party of Newfoundland and Labrador from November 1992 to May 2006. He also served as an MP in 198788 and was a Member of the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly between1990 and 2006.

Harris earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Memorial University, a Bachelor of Law degree from the University of Alberta and a Master’s in Law from the London School of Economics.

Admitted to the Bar of Newfoundland in 1980, Harris has practiced in the areas of criminal, labour and family law and general practice, with a major emphasis on labour law. In the 1990s, he successfully represented former residents of the Mt. Cashel Orphanage before the Hughes Inquiry and in lawsuits against the Christian Brothers and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador arising out of a major sexual abuse scandal.

He has received awards and honours, including the Schumiachter Award for Advocacy, Western Canada Moot Court Competition Win-

News – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant says one of her first priorities when Parliament resumes for the fall session next week is the passing into law of her Private Member’s Bill she maintains will help thwart foreign-funded campaigns aimed at taking away jobs under the guise of protecting the environment.

“My private member’s bill is all about protecting local jobs, whether they are in our world-class nuclear industry or the working forest,” Gallant said last week in a news release.

“All Canadians have a right to know whose voice is being heard and why when it comes to lobbying the public and government.”

Her proposed Legislation, Bill C-618, is an act to amend the reporting obligations in the Lobbying Act. “Our sustainable forestry industry is under increasing pressure from the foreign interest lobby who are funding groups in Canada to eliminate forestry jobs,” charged Gallant.

Star search contest underway Community – Do you have what it takes to be a star?

Have you ever wanted to get on stage and sing your heart out?

If the answer is yes, then the ‘Valley Search for a Star’ contest may be just for you, and could be your first stop towards a career in the music business.

Presented by Valley Heritage Radio and Wellcraft Music, the contest is open to anyone 14 years or older who has a passion for singing.

“That is who we’re looking for – talented people who are passionate about singing,” said Valley Heritage Radio station manager Jason Marshall.

“We’re holding this contest in hopes of finding that

special someone who has a chance to make it in the music business, and we’re hoping to give them the break they need to get their foot in the door.”

The grand prize package may just be the boost the winner needs to test the waters of a singing career.

Valued at more than $5,000, the prize includes a two-song professional record-

ing session at Wellcraft Music, a song release to at least 50 radio stations across the country, and regular airplay on Valley Heritage Radio.

“If you’ve ever wondered if you have what it takes to make it in the music business, now is a perfect time to find out,” said Marshall. “This could be the first step towards a very bright future.”

Registration is open, and the preliminaries will run three consecutive Wednesday evenings – Sept. 24, Oct. 1 and Oct. 8 – at Valley Heritage Radio and will be broadcast live.

The semi-finals and finals will be held Oct. 19 and Oct. 26 at the Horton Community Centre.

Registration is first-come, first-serve.

“There are so many talented musicians in the Ottawa Valley, and we want to do what we can to showcase these singers on a bigger stage,” said Marshall.

“We’re truly searching for a star.”

Lifestyle - The public can help support the Best Start Resource Centre by making a donation at any of the more than 635 LCBO stores throughout Ontario this week.

Donation boxes for the centre will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters, including Arnprior’s, until this Saturday, Sept. 13.

The Best Start Resource Centre, a key program of Health Nexus, supports Ontario service providers in their work to improve preconception and prenatal health and early child development. Best Start provides learning opportunities for service providers and develops needed research, resources and province-wide awareness campaigns.

Over the last 10 years, there has been a focus on provincial

strategies to raise awareness about the risks of drinking alcohol during pregnancy and to improve the skills of health care providers around alcohol use in pregnancy.

LCBO has supported these strategies by including information on the risks of alcohol use during pregnancy in its stores, and in its Food & Drink magazine, in addition to supporting the development of a range of resources for pregnant women about alcohol and pregnancy.

Funds raised through donations will be used to promote healthy pregnancies and healthy babies, with a focus on preventing alcohol use in pregnancy. For more information, visit www.beststart. org or www.alcoholfreepregnancy.ca.

Jamie Anne Bentz set to release second single sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – It was a whirlwind of a summer for 20-year-old Arnprior musician Jamie Anne Bentz and the future is looking bright.

This summer, Bentz released her first EP Clearly Undercover.

The Barley Mow in Kanata was completely packed with fans and supporters from Ottawa and the Arnprior area for the release party in July, said Bentz.

“It was a night I will never forget. My band and I played a nearly two-hour set for the crowd,” she said.

Among those playing with Bentz for the gig were her regular band members Andrea Bentz (drummer and sister), Alex Brittle (bassist) and Avery Bentz, Bentz’ acoustic

guitar player and brother and special guests Adam Hrkach (electric guitar), Evan Wilson (electric guitar and djembe) and Andrew Barrie (electric guitar).

“All of these incredible musicians reign from the Ottawa Valley,” said Bentz.

Bentz can’t say enough about the support she’s received, from her hometown and beyond.

“I am overwhelmed by the support that I have received from the Ottawa Valley. It is very hard, and at times, discouraging, being an independent artist from a small town.

This industry is incredibly competitive and has completely revolutionized since I started out eleven years ago.

The fact that people are willing to stand behind a local girl gives me hope that maybe sharing my music with people

is something I can continue to fight for,” said Bentz.

Putting the four-song EP out was a way to introduce people to her music and gauge interest. The University of Ottawa student is continuing her studies with a steady eye focused on her dreams of making it in the music business.

“I guess you could say that, above anything, I am in a desperate need for funds and/or fans,” said Bentz. The success of the EP will help determine Bentz’ her future focus.

“Once (and if) people like it, then I can take that next step and consider this as a career,” she said.

What has she learned about herself over the past few years?

“I learned that, no matter what, I am someone that wants to use my abilities to help others. I have one of the

SUBMITTED/JAMIE ANNE BENTZ

A host of talented young musicians joined Arnprior’s Jamie Anne Bentz for the EP release party in July, among them Andrea Bentz (drummer and Jamie’s sister), Alex Brittle (bassist), Adam Hrkach (electric guitar), Avery Bentz (acoustic guitar and Jamie’s brother), Evan Wilson (electric guitar and djembe) and Andrew Barrie (electric guitar). highest averages in my university and know that I can also help people in a career in health care. While I’d love to chase ‘the dream’ I’m going to continue my life as a university student until, and if, I can get that fan support. I suppose saving lives is an okay calling to have, too,” said Bentz.

She encourages young musicians to look at the whole picture.

“One piece of advice I would give to young Ottawa Valley artists is to learn as much as they can about the changing music business. You

need to establish how far, realistically, you want to go. You need to decide if you want to fill stadiums (which often requires that you fit a very specific ‘mould’ and style that major labels are looking for) or if you are content with playing your own music locally. If you are serious about making this a career, you also need to realistically look at how you will fuel your craft financially and how far you are willing to go,” she said.

Clearly Undercover is available on iTunes and the song Over was picked up by

radio stations in Colorado and Moncton and is set to hit the Ottawa area next. She urges her fans to help make Ottawa radio play a reality.

“If you feel so inclined, you could request my song ‘Over’ to Ottawa stations. The music industry in Ottawa is small, but tough and saturated with impressive artists. Any support is very helpful!

Later this fall, Bentz will be releasing the single ‘Tampa’ to local stations.

Old-tyme music promised at Glasgow church concert

Arts – Did you ever wonder what the Log Driver’s Waltz might have in common with anonymous 14th Century love song Dal Bel Castel?

The Shuffle Season is a brand new band formed by three old friends from New Brunswick, England and Belgium.

They share a love of great tunes and powerful lyrics that are found in traditional music everywhere, performing songs that span centuries and cross continents but are connected by universal themes like love and nature.

The band members showcase their traditional instruments including the Swedish nyckelharpa, the viola da gamba, the medieval fiddle and the autoharp, which are rarely heard in Eastern Ontario. And they bring a lot of fun, passion and strong vocal harmonies to their performances.

Come to St Andrew’s United Church in Pakenham on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 2 p.m. to hear Thomas Baeté, Katherine Hill and Joe Carew as they ‘Shuffle’ I-pod style, through songs of Canada, the British Isles and Europe.

Ticket price of $12 covers refreshments served following the concert.

Tickets are available at Nicholson’s and The General Store in Pakenham, Baker Bob’s in Al-

Lifestyle – The third annual ‘A Time Up the Line’ old-tyme country music concert will be held at Glasgow United Church this Sunday, Sept. 14.

The fundraiser for the church is a good excuse to bring folks together to celebrate their common Ottawa Valley culture, history, music and togetherness.

Hosted by entertainers Rick Leben and Lyle Dillabough, the concert will run from 2 to 4 p.m. The concert features several Valley musicians, with audience participation encouraged.

Admission is by donation at the door. Seating is on a fist come-firstserved basis.

The Up the Line concept began three years ago when Valley Troubadour Lyle Dillabough mentioned during a radio interview that the Glasgow United Church was amongst several buildings in the Valley that he felt drawn towards.

Grace Yantha-Blimkie, a member of church’s congregation, called the station right after and said, “you can come a put on a concert at our church anytime you’d like,” and thus it all began.

The first A Time Up the Line was a huge success. So it was held again last year with the same result.

“Seems that there is a great need in the hearts of many to return to a more

simple ‘community minded’ event where the audience can feel more like participants then merely onlookers,” says Dillabough.

“Although the show and performers are professional, the atmosphere is more of a ‘big living room’ or ‘family type’ of event … kinda like what the old-timers once called a ‘Doo’, he added.

Leben is bringing along some of his music buddies to provide backup Sunday and Dillabough will bring along his long time friend and legendary Valley keyboard player Bernie Costello.

Costello has appeared at each of the two previous concerts and is a big hit with the audience there. “Be sure you bring along Bernie,” YanthaBlimkie said.

There will be other performers there as well and it is hoped that Darlene Thibault of Smokey Rose, Jennifer Johnston-Armstrong and Dai Bassett will each make an appearance.

And what ‘old-tyme’ event would not be complete without an old fashioned pie auction? Many of the home made treats will be auctioned off downstairs in the church after the show.

“We hope that you can make it and have a real ‘time’ along with us,” says Dillabough.

raised another $4,000.

The last fundraiser was a plant sale, which brought in another $1,000. What is of note here is that these fundraising events were done solely by volunteers.

However, fate stepped in and posed another challenge in the form of a leaking roof over the building’s entrance, which is estimated to cost in the order of $20,000 to repair.

To meet the challenge, the members performed the work of replacing the floor and painting in the hall in order to free funds for the roof. Replacement of the tables and drapes will be done in the fall as cash flow improves.

The upper hall’s dilapidated floor and general condition came up during a winter board meeting and it was decided that it had to be replaced in order to attract wedding and party rentals.

The club is looking for new members to join in a winter activity full of fun and exercise. If you are new to the area, it is a great opportunity to meet new friends Many people are not sure of the physical requirements to play the sport and the associated costs. In order for new potential players make a decision, the following commonly asked questions are provided: 1. What ages can play the sport?

Answer: any age from 5 years to no upper age limit. We have 85-yearolds still playing. The players are grouped into TIM-Bits (ages 5-12), bantams (13 to 18) and adults (19 to no limit). Also there is a senior league that curls during the day and does not check for age. All are welcome who are available during the day.

2. What physical condition do you have to be in?

Answer: If you are able to walk and have good balance you should be able to play. Many seniors who have difficulty bending their knees can use a special stick to deliver the stone.

3. Can I get hurt playing the sport?

Answer: As in any sport there is always the risk of sustaining an injury. With the proper equipment and training the risk should be minimal.

There are also new safety equipment available today which helps to protect the head should a fall occur.

4. Is it an expensive sport?

Answer: relatively speaking it is reasonable when compared to the costs of playing hockey and golf. The season, which lasts from mid-October to the end of March, runs from $290 to $355 for a new adult member depending on how many nights you want to play. It is $80 for a junior or bantam.

5. Do I need expensive equipment?

Answer: No you can start with a clean pair of sneakers and a $15 slider that fits over your shoe. As you develop your skills in the game, you can buy special shoes and your own broom, which still would be under $200.

6. Can I try the sport before committing to a full year?

Answer: Yes, we offer a mentor program that will give individual training Friday evenings for an eightweek period and would be ideally suited for first-

Basketball club gears up for another exciting season Sports - With summer quickly coming to a close, it’s once again time for the Arnpriorbased Valley Pride to gear up for another exciting season of youth basketball.

Established in 2004, the club provides an opportunity for girls from Grades 3-10 as well as boys from Grades 3-6 to learn the game of basketball on a competitive level while still having fun.

The goal of the club is to provide an atmosphere with excellent coaching and high levels of competition for area athletes looking to improve their skills.

Valley Pride emphasizes the importance of teamwork, while providing the athletes with greater self-esteem.

Last year the club saw nearly 200 athletes participate in the program through competitive and house league teams as well as clinics provided at various times throughout the year.

Previously an all-girls basketball club, for the second consecutive season the club will once again bolster its ranks with the addition of another boys team, this time at the Atom level (U12).

The club has typically been made up of athletes from Arnprior and Renfrew. However, athletes from across the Ottawa Valley are encouraged to register and be a part of the Valley Pride family.

Valley Pride teams play 25 to 32 games in an Eastern Ontario league and tournaments from November to mid-March.

Registration for the club will be held at Arnprior District High School today (Thursday) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and Monday, Sept. 15,

Renovated curling club hall available for rentals Continued from Page 31

Like the Legion, the Arnprior Curling Club is a non-profit organization and receives no public funding and wants to continue to offer a sport and social centre especially as the club is soon to celebrate its 150th anniversary.

Arnprior team easily captures Gordon Cup on its home course Local golfers regain prestigious trophy by 82 shots Sports - The Arnprior Golf Club has been on a roll in 2014.

Back in August, the Arnprior women’s team travelled to Renfrew and captured the O’Brien Cup, emblematic of ladies golf supremacy in the Ottawa Valley.

On the Labour Day weekend Aug. 30-31, Arnprior closed out the month victorious once again.

This time, on their own turf, the Arnprior club won its fourth Gordon Cup men’s title in five years – and by an impressive margin – 82 shots. It was a far cry from last year’s competition, that Arnprior lost in a playoff to Pembroke.

Arnprior finished the 36-hole twoday 85th annual event with a score of 1,819, based on consistent rounds of 910 and 909.

Well back in their rearview mirror was runner-up Pembroke at 920-9811,901. Mississippi was third at 978983-1,961, with Renfrew in fourth 991-1,008-1,999 and Deep River 1,012-994-2,006.

Each team fields 14 players annually with the top 12 scores from each day tabulated to produce a team’s final total.

Former Renfrew club champion and Gordon Cup team member Dwight Reinhart matched Arnprior teammate Allen McGee’s leading 137 two-day total of last year, to pace all golfers. Reinhart did so with rounds of 68 and 69 to finish five-under par.

Arnprior’s top five competitors shot lower than any of the other four clubs’ top performer. Taylor Collins shot 71-69-140, James Paterson 7470-144, Blake Smith 71-76-147, and McGee 71-79-150.

The winning Gordon Cup team from the Arnprior Golf Club includes, in back from left, Kyle Koski, Steve Dowd, Derek McLean, James Paterson, Marc Ffrench, Jason McCormick, Dwight Reinhart, Blake Smith and Terry O’Sullivan; and in front Taylor Collins, Mike Payer, Allen McGee, Joe Nych, Bob Legault and Warren Mooney. The team won the cup by an impressive 82 strokes on its home course.

LUKE SAUNDERS/ SUBMITTED

Mark Swansburg topped Pembroke golfers with rounds of 76 and 76 for a 151 total.

Playing in his 44th Gordon Cup, Rob Warren led the Renfrew Golf Club with rounds of 82 and 71 for 153. Pacing Mississippi was Craig Scissons at 73-80-153, while Mike Hogue was Deep River’s best with a 77-79 tally for 156.

The other Arnprior members scores were Steve Dowd 78-76-154, Kyle Koski 79-76-155, Derek MacLean 80-77-157, Jason McCormick 79-78157, Mike Payer 75-82-157, Warren Mooney 81-80-161, Terry O’Sullivan 87-79-166, Joe Nych 86-80-166 and Marc Ffrench 83-90-173.

The win for Arnprior came in a milestone year as the golf club is celebrating its 90th anniversary. McCormick was the Gordon Cup chairman this year.

Next year Mississippi is host as it marks the 100th anniversary of the golf club.

The Gordon Cup began when J.P. Gordon of Renfrew donated a prestigious piece of hardware named in his honour for Ottawa Valley golf supremacy in 1930.

That came one year after the Renfrew Golf Club was established.

Ex-worker claims to know real reason fair midways cancelled

convention every winter at the Fairmount Royal York. Fair board members come from near and far to hear pitches on everything from cotton candy suppliers to midway providers such as Billy G. So will Billy Gordon’s business be invited to the 2015 convention? The OAAS president indicated that it will not. “We are organizing (the convention) now,” said Sylvia Parr. “Yes, we are aware of what is happening with Billy G.”

Carnie still out play despite labour ministry ruling Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - Scott Gibb feels like he was taken for a ride by his former midway employer and the provincial ministry of labour.

He worked three unpaid weeks with Billy G Amusements last March, and the ministry still hasn’t wrestled his money from the owner.

The company is the same that made headlines this past summer when it failed to show up at fairs in Arnprior, Almonte, Chesterville, Maxville and Rideau Lakes.

At that time it was widely reported by many Ottawa media outlets that owner Billy Gordon was frustrated with the federal government’s foreign work program. He blamed red tape and increased costs for his woes.

Gibb believes there is more to the story.

“The real reason Billy can not get workers isn’t because of the foreign workers program, it is simply because he refuses to pay his workers,” he said. “He has a bad reputation for not paying his workers and I saw it first hand.”

After the third week of not getting paid, Gibb – who also used to work for competitor Conklin Shows – lodged a complaint to the ministry. It found

both he and his girlfriend were owed $2,500 and $1,800 respectively. After it became apparent Billy G Amusements still wouldn’t pay, the ministry issued a “director’s order to pay.”

Almost a half year later and still nothing.

“If I hadn’t called them all the time I would have fallen through the cracks a long time ago,” Gibb said.

“It’s like: They’re just a bunch of carnies. And they keep giving him chance after chance.”

Gibb said he has had to move into his parents’ Toronto basement and take out loans because of the income loss.

He also feels guilty for encouraging three more friends to join up with Brampton-based Billy G. They and the other five or six on the crew were not paid either, Gibb said.

BROKEN LABOUR LAWS

Ministry spokesman William Lin would not explain why the ministry doesn’t publicize whether or not an employer pays up. He did say there are other means to obtain Gibb and his girlfriend’s money.

Lin confirmed that Billy G broke several employment standards. He paid minimum wage to have workers stand on a ride for up to 12 hours

STILL OPERATING

When Billy G Amusements pulled out of the Arnprior Fair prior to the event, it left the fair board scrambling to find a replacement. with as little as a 15-minute break for lunch. He also charged for accommodations, says the ministry.

“He would charge you $25 a day to stay in something that was filthy and was something we wouldn’t put a prisoner in,” Gibb said. “$150 for 10 hours Friday, 12 hours Saturday and Sunday, with tear-down that can last onwards of 14 or 15 hours. Tell me how that is fair.”

Jeff Desarmia didn’t know about the labour issues surrounding Billy G and wouldn’t comment on them.

The Arnprior Fair president is still

reeling from having to scramble to find a new midway provider when Billy G backed out. He says he won’t go back to that company.

He plans to meet with the other four fairs left hanging by the company. Desarmia wants the group to chastise the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS).

“The OAAS is endorsing this midway provider,” he said. “Some of the blame has to go on the OAAS.” Not only does the representative organization collect fees from fairs across the province, it hosts a major

R0062828524

Parr was unaware of Gordon’s troubles with the Ministry of Labour. She insists her board will discuss the situation, but is wary of discussing details considering he still has contracts with other fairs, including her hometown’s.

Last week she was hopeful he would show.

As for Gibb, who continues to struggle financially and with a loss of faith in both an employer and a government ministry, he is keeping up the good fight. Asked why he doesn’t simply bite the bullet and call it a lesson learned, Gibb was firm.

“It’s not a bullet I can bite. It’s really put me in a hole,” he said. “This man is a crook and I will be the one to stand up to him and bring this to attention.”

Repeated calls to Billy Gordon were not returned.

Volunteer-Driven

Arnprior Dragon Boat Club has fun while raising funds for Dylan

Community – For the third year in a row, the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club (ADBC) hosted a ‘Fun Day’ as part of the White Pine Festival.

This year the event took on an added importance as the activities supported the family of a young lad suffering from a rare disease.

The club set up its tents on the beautiful beach at Robert Simpson Park and offered 30minute dragon boat sessions from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The conditions were ideal for being out on the river - sunny, hot with calm waters. People could come out and try dragon boat paddling or they could simply “enjoy” the ride while others paddled in the ‘Ottawaska’.

As a safety precaution, the Arnprior Fire Department generously supplied its safety boat and staff who closely monitored the paddling sessions from the water.

Every session included a mix of experienced paddlers from the club and those who were new to the sport. A total of five sessions were given at a cost of $10 a person.

Half of all the proceeds collected were donated to the family of Dylan Van Driel who has Vein of Galen Malformation, a rare and lifethreatening disease that has greatly damaged his brain.

Dylan is the 3-year-old nephew of Carolyn Miller, one of the club’s members. Direct donations for Dylan were also made via a donation box.

Visit www.wheelsforvandriels.com to learn more about Dylan. Visit www.arnpriordragonboat.com for more information on the ADBC. Ray Carriere and Amy Kelly were the winners of the East Side Mario’s gift certificates.

East Side Mario’s continues to be very generous to the ADBC and the club is very appreciative of the support.

The club plans to continue this Fun Day tradition and looks forward to being part of next year’s White Pine Festival.

New diabetes services offered in Renfrew County News – The Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is expanding diabetes services in Eastern Ontario to meet growing needs.

For example, a new program allows patients in Renfrew County without a

family doctor to obtain care from health professionals specializing in diabetes.

The program, funded by the LHIN, is offered at five hospital sites (Arnprior, Barry’s Bay, Deep River, Pembroke, and Renfrew) plus 14 other outreach sites

in Renfrew County.

Two representatives of Renfrew Victoria Hospital (Claire Zanetti, Diabetes Educator and Janice VerchWhittington, Manager of Nephrology and Diabetes) spoke to the LHIN board about a pilot study undertaken at their site.

They said a number of new protocols and processes have been put in place, such as establishing a standardized referral process and organizing videoconferencing between patients and an endocrinologist.

Participants in the Renfrew study showed improvements in several health measures during the study period.

“They had better self-management skills and comfort with their condition,” said Verch-Wittington.

Importantly, 35 of 49 clients enrolled at the Renfrew site during the study were matched with a family physician.

In the Champlain region, 9.1 per cent of adults have diabetes. The lowest percentage is in central Ottawa (7.7 per cent), and the highest is in the easternmost counties (12.6 per cent). In Renfrew County, 10.2 per of adults have the condition.

Champlain LHIN senior integration specialist Leah Bartlett gave an outline of the regional diabetes strategy, which aims to: • improve access to high-quality, coordinated diabetes care; • improve the management of diabetes, particularly in reducing complications; • increase the adoption of best practices and evidence-based care.

The work aligns with the Champlain LHIN’s key result areas of ensuring more people with complex health conditions are able to manage their conditions and more people receive quality, evidence-based care.

Arnprior lad helps with CHEO fundraiser Renfrew youngsters Aidan and Finn Muldoon, and their cousin Noah Thompson of Arnprior, spearheaded a recent fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. The boys were asking 25 cents each for homemade cookies and Finn’s drawings, and $1 for each of the dozens of rainbow loom bracelets they made. The sale generated $230. Parents Sean and Tricia Muldoon are joined, from left, by neighbour and customer RoseAnne St. Michael, Aidan, Finn and Noah. “It was very successful and we were very pleased with the community response,“ said Tricia Muldoon.

Difficult summer makes community blood clinics more important than ever News – Calling all blood donors in Arnprior and area. Canadian Blood Services is holding a blood donor clinic at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior on Wednesday, Sept. 24.

As usual, the Rotary Club of Arnprior is sponsoring the clinic, which runs from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. and 5-6:30 p.m.

Following a difficult summer and the recent damage to the Bloodmobile in Ottawa, which has rendered it inoperable for the foreseeable

future, Canadian Blood Services is depending on its community clinics to help it rebuild and stabilize its blood collections in the region.

“Please make your appointment to help save a life through blood donation,” urges the agency.

Donors can book an appointment on-line at www.blood.ca or by downloading the GiveBlood app. Or they can call 1-888-2-DONATE.

into position to take away even those last remnants of the Renfrew Fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? they said, they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen a young boy with blonde hair who looked like he was lost.

Mother thought she should go and look for the police. One of the farmers thought that might be a good idea, as he moved over to the tall stalks of corn. He lifted the first two bundles and tossed them on his shoulders. His tall lanky son reached for the third.

When he lifted it from the wall, there was Ronny sitting behind the corn stalks looking out at us with sheer delight and devilment written all over his face.

Mother was so mad she swung her purse at him and caught the farmer square on the side of his head. He recovered quickly, and made a grab for the young villain. But Mother beat him to it.

She grabbed Ronny by the scruff of the neck and hauled him to his feet, which never touched the floor all the way out of the building. Father was wearing his â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told you soâ&#x20AC;? look.

Finally Ronny looked Mother square in the eye and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why everyone is so mad ...

I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost. I knew where I was all the time.â&#x20AC;?

with specific orders from Mother, since we were there at night time, to stay together and meet back at the ticket booth by nine oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock.

Ronny, for a change, seemed to be on his best behaviour. Once or twice he compared the Renfrew Fair to a place called LaFontaine Park in Montreal, but we paid little attention to him. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too impressed and called the rides â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;kid stuffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Finally, the boys had spent every cent of their allowance. I still had a nickel tied in the corner of my hanky. We always saved the exhibition hall for last. Audrey and I loved to see the handiwork and see who had won prizes.

The boys hated the hall, but Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions left no doubt in anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind that we all stayed together. And so it was five reluctant boys who shuffled into the hall that night to look at the displays of quilts, baking, grain, vegetables and corn stalks tied together in great tall bundles.

Ronny promised if we let him wander the hall, he would not leave the building. Audrey was too engrossed in the needle work to argue. We must have spent a good hour before we realized Ronny was no where to be found.

We skirted the displays several times, to no avail. Perhaps he had gone out to the ticket gate.

Everett, being the oldest, was dispatched immediately. When he got back, Mother was stern-faced and walking quickly beside him.

Ronny was not with them.

We were ordered to fan out like a search party looking for someone lost in the bush.

We started to get panicky when we saw the fair board beginning to dismantle the displays in the hall. A group of ladies from the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute was folding quilts, and putting the baking in large baskets.

Audrey and I were posted at the door just in case he had wandered out and would come back to look for us. The hall was emptying out of people. Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look of anger was quickly turning to a look of panic. As was usual for me, when I got scared or distressed, I started to cry, which led my sister Audrey to repeat one of my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite observations: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary your bladder must be awfully close to your eyes.â&#x20AC;?

We had been looking for Ronny for an hour. I was convinced he had been hauled off by one of the carnival workers, which made me cry all the louder.

The hall was almost stripped.

Everyone but the workers had gone home. All that was left were the grain displays and the tall stalks of corn tied into bundles and standing along one wall.

A few farmers were moving

Lifestyle - If Mother would have followed Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice, we would have bypassed the Renfrew fair that year.

Our Montreal cousins were with us, and Terry the youngest would have been no trouble, but Ronny, the eldest was another matter all together.

But Mother thought a face-toface talk with Ronny before the old model T left the barn yard would be sufficient to insure his best behaviour.

She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go over the ground rules with the rest of us.

We knew them by heart. Stay together. No squabbling. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit on the seat in the outdoor privy, and a reminder that once our quarter was gone, there was no more money to squander.

Ronny said he understood perfectly.

The Renfrew Fair was just about the most exciting place to be on a Fall day. My three brothers were usually flat broke in less than an hour. Whereas my sister Audrey and I took ages to make up our minds how we wanted to spend our quarters.

We had gone to the fair early Saturday evening that year. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best time to go, because organizers usually started to dismantle everything by nine oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock. However, the side benefit was that often we got rides at a discount price because it was the final night.

As usual, we cruised the entire fair as soon as we arrived,

Tasty treats promised at Harvest Food and Drink Show Sept. 13 Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – The seasons are changing and that means something delicious is brewing.

The second annual Harvest Food and Drink Show is set for this Saturday, Sept. 13 at the Almonte Agricultural Hall from 1 to 6 p.m.

There will be about 40 vendors showcasing a variety of bakers, cooks, brew masters, wine makers, coffee roasters, culinary artists, farmers marketers and more.

“We have a good mix of local brewers, sweet and savory wine, and delicious food vendors,” said Emily Arbour, coorganizer with Brad Weir. “It’s a great community event that showcases some of the local producers in the area and it gives people a greater awareness of what we have growing in our own backyard.”

Cartwright Springs Brewery, a brand new brewery based in Pakenham, will be

in attendance.

“On the heels of the launch of Mexican General (Almonte’s limited edition craft beer), they came to us and said they were launching a brewery. They are not even open yet, this is their launch,” said Arbour.

The main sponsor of this year’s show is Peches et Poivre in Almonte.

“They are a local groceteria in Almonte that carry a wide range of locally produced products,” explained Arbour.

“They will be showcasing and sampling a great deal of their products available in store.”

Another unique vendor that is coming from Ottawa is Mad Faux Cheese, which makes vegan nut-based cheese and sold out at last year’s event.

“They make the most amazing cheese,” said Arbour.

She said that this is an opportunity for those with special diets, such as vegans, to find local businesses who meet those needs.

Tickets cost $30 per person and include 10 free sample tickets. Additional sample tickets available for purchase at the show for 50 cents each.

“People should hurry, they are selling quickly and there are only 300 available and it’s almost half full,” said Arbour.

“It’s a really cozy afternoon of eating, drinking and merriment as we enter the fall season and it will give you ideas for new recipes, too.”

Since the event is licensed, tickets are available in advance only and you must be 19 years of age or older to attend.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.handmadeharvest.com/ foodanddrink or at Hello Yellow at 72 Mill St., Almonte.

The next Handmade Harvest event is the annual holiday show on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Almonte Old Town Hall.

It will have about 50 different vendors each day.

Bring back lost joys of family dinner: M&M Lifestyle – It’s no secret that our lives are busy. Many commitments compete for our time on a daily basis, making it increasingly difficult to carve out time for family and friends in a world filled with meetings, practices and classes, games and recitals.

On Thursday, Sept. 18, M&M Meat Shops is inviting all Canadians to focus on family for one sit-down meal by participating in the 10th annual National Family Dinner Night.

Plus, you could win one of three $100 M&M Meat Shops gift cards simply by sharing what you plan on cooking for dinner on www.mmmeatshops. com.

A recent survey conducted for M&M Meat Shops shows that only 30 per cent of families sit down for dinner together every night, a shocking decrease from 47 per cent in last year’s

survey findings.

An astonishing 20 per cent of families eat dinner together only two nights a week or less, with 5 per cent of these respondents never eating dinner as a family.

And when asked about simple, mealtime rituals, only 53 per cent of respondents say that their children know how to properly set a table.

So why is family dinner put on the back-burner? Conflicting schedules caused a dinnertime disconnect for 35 per cent of those surveyed, while lack of time due to activities affected 26 per cent of respondents, and no time to cook was cited as the reason for 14 per cent of families.

National Family Dinner Night encourages families to re-connect over dinner and honour the tradition of the family dinner.

Arnprior’s Royal Canadian Army Cadets seek new recruits

R0032708045

Cadets ham it up for the camera in Gatineau Park.

Community – With school back in, the Arnprior-based 2360 Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps is gearing up for a new season.

The cadet corps welcomes new members and is holding registration throughout September.

Anyone aged 12 to 18 interested in becoming an army cadet can drop by the weekly Monday parade nights at the Nick Smith Centre starting at 6:30 p.m. to see firsthand what the program entails. The new season began with an introductory meeting Sept. 8, but new recruits are still welcome.

More information is available by calling 613-862-2360 or emailing co.2360army@cadets.gc.ca.

The Department of National Defence, the Army Cadet League of Canada and the Arnprior Legion all support the program and provide the uniforms, training, meals and transportation to special events and exercises. There is no enrollment fee, but cadets are expected to take part in fun-

52 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, September 11, 2014

draising activities that support optional programming.

The cadet corps welcomes participation by adult supporters in the support committee chaired by Joanne Leduc.

The corps commanding officer is Capt. Rob Dufour, back for a second year with the squadron. The cadet corps is affiliated with the Air Defence Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish).

The aim of the army cadet organization is to develop leadership, self-discipline, physical fitness, and engaged and active citizenship within an environment that stimulates interest in the Canadian Forces.

The program offers challenges, friendship, adventure, and opportunities to expand horizons, contribute to the community and make friends for life.

The army cadets meet weekly throughout the school year on Monday evening for training as well as attend occasional weekend events. Cadets also can apply for summer camps.

Last year’s season ended in June with the corps’ 10th annual Ceremonial Review and awards.

Promoted to Warrant Officer were Rianna Warren, Cody Carson and Will Deeks. The new sergeants are Devon Dean, Adam Fergusson, Bailey Maracle-Nicholas, Cameron Martin and Jaimie Primeau.

Moving up to Master Bombardier are Chloe Aubin, Ben Dagg and Cole Lascelle. Appointed Bombardiers were Cassidy Atkins, Tim Blaskavitch, Daymen Dennis, Alicia Duggan, Austin McNab and Brock Cloutier.

Among the cadets taking general training at summer camp were Timothy Blaskavitch-Ginter, Christy Bonenfant, Cassidy Atkins, Dayman Dennis and Alicia Duggan.

Lyke Crisostomo and B. Radke went on basic D&C training, while Cole Lacelle and Ryelly Cranston were at basic expedition camp.

Others who went to summer camp were Chloe Aubin (basic marksman), Benjamin Dagg (basic fitness and sport) and Jaimie Primeau (drill and ceremonial instructor).

PATRICK SIMMONDS/SUBMITTED

In one of their final events of last season, 24 army cadets from Arnprior went on a field training exercise at Lac Phillipe in Gatineau Park. Leaders report there was lots of learning, laughs and marshmallows.

Scouting season Martin Quenneville, left, and Brian, Samantha, and Sydney Dougherty, along with Liam Watkins are on hand at the White Pine Festival to remind families that the local Arnprior Scouting group is holding a registration for the new season. Beavers (age 5-7) and Cubs (8-10) will hold registrations and first meetings Monday, Sept. 15 at 6:30 p.m. at Walter Zadow school. The Scouts (11-14) registration is Tuesday, Sept. 16, also at 6:30 p.m. at Walter Zadow. Registration is also possible online at www.scouts.ca.

Scouting is the world’s largest youth group with members in over 162 countries, and with over 40 million members in more than a million local scout groups just like Arnprior’s.

This year we will be having our three main sections up and running again - Beavers (5-7), Cubs (8-10) and Scouts (1114).

One thing that makes Scouts stand out is that all levels are open to girls and boys. Scouts have been co-ed since 1998.

Everyone is welcome to join the scouting movement.

People often ask what does one do in Scouting, so here are some examples from across Canada, and here locally.

Scouts climb mountains, attend international camps, learn survival skills, build leadership skills, make friends, travel, use knives and axes and stoves and fire appropriately, learn to be self-sufficient, hang glide, sail, canoe, backpack, white water

Air cadets meet Canadian astronaut, start new year Community – Members of the 653 Champlain Royal Air Cadets participated in a unique event this summer.

They were part of the Hadfield Youth Leadership Summit at the Gatineau Vintage Wings facility.

The local contingent was among the 100 air cadets invited to the oncein-a-lifetime event.

The cadets were greeted by astronaut Chris Hadfield, who arrived in an airplane piloted by his own brother Dave Hadfield.

Also on hand were the entire team of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, who signed autographs, and the RCAF’s CF-18 demo pilot Captain Adam ‘Manik’ Runge, who not only answered questions but later in the day gave everyone in the crowd a full-on boom-and-zoom demonstration of the capabilities of the fighter jet.

The cadets were also greeted by the Vintage Wings founder, Honorary Colonel of the Snowbirds and successful entrepreneur Mike Potter,

LIZ WALL/SUBMITTED

The Veterans Memorial Garden at Legion Park across from John XXIII school in Arnprior needs more volunteers to keep it flowering in remembrance of those who fought to preserve freedom. Ted Graham has been working diligently with a crew to keep it looking shipshape, but he could do with some help.

Arnprior’s special veterans’ garden of remembrance needs more volunteers to help Ted Graham

Community – It began with a trip to Home Hardware.

Neil Slater, the manager, said to me, “I’ve got some bulbs here, donated with my order from Holland. Would you see that they get to the legion?”

There they were, 100 tulip bulbs in prime condition waiting to be put in the earth. Red tulips, named ‘Canadian Liberator’. How symbolic can you get?

Canadian soldiers in 1945 were deeply involved in freeing Holland from a brutal Nazi occupation. Helping them regain their freedom cost Canada 7,000 lives – the population of Arnprior.

And thus the Veterans Memorial Garden at Legion Park in Arnprior began with a single bed of these splendid red flowers in the spring of 2012.

Since then it has grown to three beds; two of tulips, replaced by other flowers in the summer, and a third of mixed perennials that will come up year after year.

Looking after them has been a privilege.

Many people have helped with donations of labour, plants, water and money.

Let me say, with taking space to name each person, my sincere thanks to you all. I couldn’t do it without you.

And with continued support from the community, the garden will continue on into the future, a living memorial to those Canadian soldiers who over the last 200 years have fought to preserve freedom, our own and others.

VISIT, HELP WITH PARK

I plan on being at the Metro grocery store in the Arnprior Shopping Centre, on a weekend soon, looking for some support, whatever form it takes, from the community to keep the garden going.

Please enjoy the flowers. They are there for us all, brightening up the uniform green of park.

Stop to visit, try out the bench, and take time to read our sign that dedicates the garden to the memory of those who gave their lives so that you and I can enjoy ours. A vital part of our history.

The Legion Park and Veterans Garden is located on Edey Street between Landrigan and Macdonald streets in Arnprior.

Stop by, smell the flower and remember!

Electronic cigarettes - health hazard to pets

Dog days of summer JOHN CARTER/ METROLAND

Margie and Missy, two purebred Golden Retrievers owned by Jim and Gwen Jeffery, regularly frolic in the refreshing waters of White Lake, chasing fish and ducking for rocks. Typical Retrievers, they love swimming, especially on hot summer days.

The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

Lifestyle – An electronic cigarette (e-cig or e-cigarette), personal vaporizer (PV) or electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) is a batterypowered vaporizer that simulates tobacco smoking by producing an aerosol that resembles smoke.

It generally uses a heating element known as an atomizer that vaporizes a liquid solution known as e-liquid. E-liquids usually contain a mixture of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, nicotine, and flavourings, while others release a flavoured vapour without nicotine.

The jury is still out on whether electronic cigarettes are less harmful for humans than regular cigarettes, but they are a health hazard for pets. According to the Pet Poison Helpline, nicotine poisoning in pets is on the rise.

According to Ahna Brutlag, DVM, DABT, DABVT and associate director of veterinary services at Pet Poison Helpline, “the use of ecigarettes has become more widespread, our call volume for cases involving them has increased considerably.”

Pet Talk

IAN STUPP E-cigarettes are designed to resemble traditional cigarettes.

The battery-operated devices atomize liquid that contains nicotine, turning it into a vapour that can be inhaled.

What makes these cigarettes attractive to dogs are the wide array of scents and flavours.

In addition to the scent being alluring to dogs, there is the amount of nicotine in each cartridge, which measures between 6 mg and 24 mg, to consider. Each cartridge contains the nicotine equivalent of one to two traditional cigarettes.

Nicotine poisoning in pets has a rapid onset of symptoms, generally within 15 to 60 minutes following inges-

tion. Symptoms for dogs and cats include vomiting, diarrhea, agitation, elevations in heart rate and respiration rate, depression, tremors, ataxia, weakness, seizures, cyanosis, coma, and cardiac arrest.

Cats are especially susceptible to health hazards from ecigarettes.

Propylene Glycol, one of the primary ingredients in the e-cig’s vapour, can lead to Heinz body, where the red blood cells become damaged.

Cats can ingest this substance by licking or chewing on the device. Heinz body symptoms include discoloured skin, fever, loss of appetite, pale lips and gums, and reddish-brown urine.

Please be aware that there may be an alternative electronic cigarette that contains vegetable glycerine (VG), which may be safer to cats than propylene glycol.

Ian owns ad operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior. For comments or suggestions, he can be reached at 613-623-6200 or wagswhiskers@hotmail.com.

Esther “Doris” Bourke (nee Doolan) passed in peace and entered Eternal Life on Friday August 29,2014 at the Groves Park Lodge, Renfrew at the age of 87 years.

Daughter of the late Catherine Brennan and the late Patrick Doolan. Doris was born in Dublin, Ireland; the third youngest of 12 children. She was the beloved “Dorrie” to her predeceased brothers Robert, Joey, Peter, John, Christopher and predeceased sisters Bridget, Anne, Katherine, Mary, Maureen and infant sister Theresa. Doris enjoyed a childhood roaming the fields of Crumlin with her siblings, “sampling” the apple crop from local farmers and gorging on hedgerow blackberries. Like many Irish of her generation, Doris left Ireland to seek work in England.

She met her late husband Thomas Joseph Bourke(1989) at the Blarney Dance Hall in London in 1951 and followed him to Canada a year later. They were married in 1952 and raised five children in Braeside, Ontario. Doris was a faithful Catholic and prayed the rosary daily, mainly for “those who most need it...whoever and wherever they may be.” Throughout her life she engaged in many quiet acts of generosity and compassion and lived her faith through her open door (and heart) policy of welcoming any and all into her home and life - be they old friends, wayward children, travellers or lost pets. She was an active member of the Sandpoint - Braeside CWL for more than 50 years and will be remembered for her legendary pie-making abilities and her lifelong mission of teaching people the art of “real tea-making”. Doris took up golfing later in life, and knew she had truly found her sport when she discovered she had a wicked drive that could send the ball sailing hundreds of yards down the fairway; putting was another story. In her death she is reunited with family members who have passed on before her, in particular her eldest son David Thomas Bourke (2012).

Doris’ unconditional love and quick wit will be greatly missed.

Those left to mourn her loss and cherish her memory include her children Patrick (Sabina) of Stittsville; Thomas (Cheryl) of Glasgow Station; John (Dianne) of Ottawa and Maureen of Glasgow Station; her daughter-in-law Annalynn Bourke of Braeside; as well as her grandchildren; David, Sean, Chantal, Shannon, Brandon, Jordan, Connor and great-grandchildren; Lucas, Christopher, Rhiannon, Dallas, Aidan. A part of Doris’ heart always remained in her homeland of Ireland where she was a special Aunt to those of her beloved childhood home, 16 Rafter’s Road: Patrick O’Reilly (Phyllis), Christopher O’Reilly (Nora), Kevin O’Reilly (Mary), Francis O’Reilly (Patricia), Catherine O’Reilly, Elizabeth O’Reilly, the late Patrick Doolan, Marie Mallon and their respective families. Doris could think of no better place to spend her last night on earth than in a church, and therefore like many of her Irish ancestors she will be taken to her beloved parish church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Braeside where family and friends were invited to pay their respects on Friday, September 5th from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. A mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on, what was to be her 88th birthday, Saturday morning September 6th at 11 o’clock. Doris cared deeply about injustices and the welfare of others, especially the most forgotten of our society. We know that she would appreciate a donation to a local charity such as the Ottawa Mission, a global social justice organization such as Development and Peace, or an organization of your choice that is trying to make the world a more loving and caring place.

“Set me like a seal on your heart, Love is strong as death.”

In the care of the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior.

Sheepdogs drummer talks green energy at Kitchissippi Festival Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The up-and-coming Canadian rock band, the Sheepdogs, are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Feeling Goodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; about reducing their environmental impact.

At a recent stop on their summer tour at the Kitchissippi Festival at Wilderness Tours Aug. 22, the Juno award-winning Saskatoon band highlighted its partnership with Bullfrog Power.

Amidst a day of enjoying some Ottawa Valley adventure by way of whitewater rafting and cliff jumping, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drummer, Sam Corbett, talked to the Arnprior ChronicleGuide about the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to partner with Bullfrog.

CLEAN ELECTRICITY

Throughout the summer, explained Corbett, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerts are being powered with clean, pollution-free electricity, because Bullfrog Powerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generators put 100 per cent green electricity onto the grid to match the power consumption of the shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have big stages and use a lot of power so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool,â&#x20AC;? said Corbett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of being in a band, especially for summer festivals, is doing a lot of travelling and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the greatest

thing for the environment so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very happy to do something that can chip away at our impact.â&#x20AC;?

Across Canada, Bullfrogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green electricity comes from a blend of wind and low-impact hydro power sourced from new Canadian renewable energy facilities.

Corbett already uses Bullfrogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green energy for his home so the decision was an easy one.

There are many ways to be environmentally conscious, Corbett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a big thing all the time it can be small things,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to get a local beer on our rider. We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily get something made in the States or Europe. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way we can experience a bit of local culture but also reduce a bit of our impact as well.â&#x20AC;?

While in Foresters Falls, the Sheepdogs enjoyed local brewery Whitewater Brewing Co. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried Whitewater and we really liked the IPA (India Pale Ale).â&#x20AC;?

UP NEXT

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a whirlwind few years for the Sheepdogs, who in 2011 appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Along with Corbett, band

members are Leot Hanson, Ewan Currie and Ryan Gullen â&#x20AC;&#x153;2011 was crazy busy and as soon as 2012 started we recorded an album and went right into another album cycle so the last six months before this summer was the ďŹ rst time we were able to take a bit of a break,â&#x20AC;? said Corbett.

The band was set to play in PEI the night following their Friday night Valley show so it was back to the hotel following the performance and up early for a ďŹ&#x201A;ight Saturday.

Summer touring has kept the guys pretty busy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times in the summer, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause you have the week off in between, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very busy on the weekends.â&#x20AC;?

The guys did manage to get in a few local activities while here for the concert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went whitewater rafting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our boat ďŹ&#x201A;ipped, did some cliff jumping.

We had an awesome time,â&#x20AC;? said Corbett.

And now that September has arrived, the Sheepdogs will get to work on recording their next album at a location near Peterborough.

SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found a great place, a cabin right on the lake,â&#x20AC;? said Corbett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if Sheepdogs drummer Sam Corbett, backstage at the Kitchissippi Fesyouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not recording a piece you can tival Aug. 22 at Wilderness Tours near Foresters Falls, said the band is pleased to be reducing its environmental impact. go for a swim.â&#x20AC;?
