Knock, knock: any pets? Bylaw officers to check door to door for dogs and cats DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Brent McLaren shows how it’s done at Robert Simpson Park last weekend. The hope is a town crier will be found for this summer.

It’s not an issue Arnprior councillors went sniffing after. Mayor Terry Gibeau even recalled a predecessor who said the best way to get a whole bunch of voters angry is to talk about dogs and cats. But they did it anyway at Monday’s committee of the whole meeting. The issue was a recommendation by town clerk Jacquie Farrow-Lawrence to conduct a comprehensive registration system for both dogs and cats this year, meaning a door to door count by bylaw officers. Only 154 dogs were registered so far this year, with 104 still outstanding from last year. McNabBraeside registered 761 last year. “Inquiries have been received by residents as to why the number of registered dogs in the town is very low,” reads Farrow-Lawrence’s report, “with the speculation being there is likely close to 1,000 dogs in town.” Coun. Mark Willmer was worried the private bylaw enforcement company would sacrifice time investigating other complaints during summer and early fall door-to-door canvassing. He was assured

the company, Municipal Law Enforcement Services, would hire new officers for the project, along with keeping 50 per cent of licensing fees collected. The revenue boost to the town could mean about $2,600 based upon an additional 200 registrations and $5,000 if there are an additional 400 this year. Reeve Walter Stack took a dislike to the emphasis on dogs. “I think the dogs are better controlled than cats,” he said. Coun. Jack Lammert insisted a report be submitted to council by mid October. Coun. Eric Burton was told about the necessity of registering animals: to ensure owners are held responsible should a dog prove a nuisance; to help manage population by having strays spayed or neutered; and to track possible rabies cases. Mayor Terry Gibeau mused aloud about the political implications. “Regardless of what we do, this is going to jump up and bite us,” he said. Council agreed to allow the door-to-door canvassing. After this summer, it will take place every two to three years. See COUNCIL, Page 5

Arnprior cries out for town crier candidates SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

Here ye! Here ye! Do you have what it takes to be Arnprior’s town crier? The White Pine Festival and Arnprior Toastmasters have put out the call for

candidates to fill the position in time for the Aug. 27-29 festival. Organizers were hoping to hear from potential candidates last weekend at a gathering at Robert Simpson Park, but no one has come forward so far. Perth town criers Brent and Shelley McLaren were at the park to give

attendees an idea of what to expect and to promote the position. “We really would like to see Arnprior with a town crier. It is a wonderful position for a man or a woman,” said Brent. He estimated there are about 10 female criers among the 75 officially registered

in Ontario. He and Shelley love the roles and encourage people to give it a try. “It takes a good voice, but it takes more than that, it really takes a love for your community,” said Brent.

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com As economists warn of the recession’s imminent return, there is little doubt businesses in downtown Arnprior are taking a hit. Among those that have closed in recent months are: • Murphies Farm Fresh Foods • Unlimited Mission • Arnpior Video • Tiny Treasures • Valley Brewmaster • Ben’s TV The closing of Arnprior Video will affect the Optimists and Lions clubs; gaming tickets sold there went to the non-profit organizations. The Bonnechere Bakery closed, but was immediately replaced with Our Place in the Prior. Main Street Music hasn’t made a comeback. The Sears outlet is for sale again, not long after Coun. Tom Peckett sold the Arnprior mall retail outlet. Perhaps most serious in terms of harming the workforce is the moving of Bar None at the Kenwood Centre. It took 24 jobs to Barrhaven. The Attic Toyshop is due to close at the end of this month. Owner Bill Mitchell said it was always his intention to run the business as a “hobby,” even when he started it eight years ago. “I have two grandsons and they don’t live here. I want more time to spend with them,” Mitchell said, adding he has sold the building as well but didn’t want to state on the record to whom. “The toy store takes too much. If it wasn’t seven days a week.” Mitchell is president of the Business Improvement Area (BIA). He was expected to step down at Tuesday’s meeting. He will continue to live just outside of town limits, as he has enjoyed for some 30 years now. Mitchell said he doesn’t get the feeling the BIA will collapse, even though at least some business owners would like to see it happen. ROOM FOR OPTIMISM Mayoral candidate and Citadel Crafts owner Doug Smith said there are another half dozen businesses struggling in the core. He also noted the blimp company that nearly inked a multi-million deal opted for another Ottawa Valley community; and a Toyota dealership from Renfrew didn’t relocate here because “we offered them nothing.” He blames the overall downturn in the economy, but offers reason for hope. “The economy is hurting us all. Even the few that are left, we are hurting,” he said. “I’m still optimistic. There are about 17 others thinking of moving here.” Mayor Terry Gibeau told council on Monday that three doctors are considering a move to town, and a German

Others that have opened in recent months include: • Get the Paint Tattoo • Arnprior Business Centre • Treasure Trove • Sweet & Sassy Co. • Sugar & Slice • Beauty Boutque & Day Spa JOB FAIR Smith said he doesn’t want to wait until after the election to promote economic activity, which is why he is organizing job fairs for June 26 and Sept. 25. It takes place at the Campanale Homes, 24 Wolff Cres. However, the fair will be about more than just jobs. Smith said the free event is for anyone considering a move to Arnprior with their family or business. For more information contact him at 613-983-3684. He said the election race, of which he is so far the sole candidate for the mayor’s job, is going well. “I have started going door to door in Arnprior for the election campaign,” he emailed to supporters. “One hundred per cent of all our stops have been extremely supportive of my campaign for mayor. Name recognition has certainly gotten out there and even to parts of McNab Braeside and other surrounding towns are starting to know who I am.”

EDITORIAL

Be careful! Please If this were a newspaper that wrote editorials on the regular basis about how our readers should keep themselves safe, we would understand the force behind the argument would lose emphasis. Crying wolf is a lesson many of us learned long ago. However, we maintain there are times when readers need to be reminded to care - especially on the roads. This is one of those times. Between May 20 and May 28, during a mere eightday period, our area was devastated by three major car accidents. A young woman, 18-year-old Katrina ‘Kay’ Lyman died after her car hit a pickup truck. (Police now suspect she was texting.) On May 26, a 19-year-old woman, Delaney Tolle, was seriously injured after her car hit a dump truck. And on May 28, a 45-yearold man was killed after colliding with another car. The other driver, too, sustained serious injuries. It can happen to anyone at any time. The one common characteristic? Drivers were not being as safe as they could have been. Graduation season is coming. Summer Sunday drives and lugging the boat or camper to that favourite get-away spot are coming. If you know of a particularly dangerous turn or intersection near you, we welcome a letter to the editor letting everyone in the community know about it. Someone who nags others about safety tends to blow credibility, true. But sometimes circumstances reach a point. Unfortunately, now is one of those times.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Cottagers, be fire safe To the editor: Remember, it is law in Ontario to have working alarms on each storey and outside all sleeping areas in your cottage, as it is in your home. Please also check your local laws regarding carbon monoxide alarms. Fire chiefs across cottage country want you to have ‘Peace of Mind At Your Piece of Heaven.’ Watch for our TV reminders featuring FishTV host Leo Stakos, and, heed these five tips:

1) Change all smoke alarm batteries at least once per year; 2) Replace all smoke alarms over 10 years old; 3) If your cottage has a fireplace, or gas or propane appliances, install at least one CO detector; 4) Clean heating appliances and BBQs before use. Ensure all combustibles, as well as children and pets, are kept well away while grilling; 5) Check with local authorities for restrictions on campfires or burning

brush. For more tips visit www.safeathome.ca. Enjoy the summer of 2010 while being fire and CO safe. Chief Bruce Burrell, president Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs Patrick Burke, Ontario Fire Marshal, Chair of Ontario Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council

Congratulations on another great Camp Day To the editor: To the Tim Horton staff and the McCluskey Family; I wish to congratulate and thank you for another show of community support, and how this Canadian icon has fitted itself into the fabric of our country. I am of course, referring to another successful Camp Day event where our community can come

together and jointly give so many children a happy summer experience of going off to camp. I was here for the first Arnprior Camp Day many years ago, and it opened my eyes to the generosity and participation in this first event that Arnprior and the surrounding neighborhoods came together with to help so many children.

There are only a few icons that are capable of presenting such an event and I’m sure that the staff and volunteers who took part in this year’s production feel a great deal of pride and satisfaction in the accomplishment. I know I did and I also know that with the participation I witnessed, this event will continue year after year. How could

anyone pass up the fun and prizes of an event such as this? I, for one, will be there again next year. The ‘Tim Horton’ legend will live on and so will the participant’s memories. I thank the McCluskeys for the privilege of participating. I enjoyed a great day. Douglas C. Munro

Council treated to promotional video

around the table that if the town doesn’t move quickly, it could miss out on provincial money being offered for alternative energy sources. The study dollars will be absorbed in project costs, should the town move forward with any of the options.

The cost of registering a dog or cat ranges from $15 to $30. Council were treated to the 10-minute promotional video done by the Dimestore Fisherman show last year. The video, along with the airing of a full segment on the popular Canadian fishing program, cost the town about $10,000. The video will be used to sell the town to companies interested in moving to town, doctors who might consider setting up shop here, along with others. Although the camera work was shaky, not very well lit, and the host mispronounced the Gibeau’s name, it nevertheless captured scenes from the Nick Smith Centre and other municipal facilities, along with Arnprior Aerospace and fishing for smallmouth bass. “I think it is a fantastic video,” Burton said. Gibeau called it a “good” promotional tool that was “pretty well done.” SOLAR STUDY Council agreed to give an additional $6,900 to the Nick Smith roof solar panel study, bringing the total to $16,900. The feasibility study determine whether or not the building can generate energy and income for the town. If the results of the study are positive, projects as large as $1.1 million or as small as $75,000 could take place. There was some concern expressed

PRINCELY SUM They asked for a loan but ended up with the full $3,000 instead, no strings attached. The committee heading up the Prince and the Prior festivities this year were hoping for “seed money” to see it through the various stages of preparation, according to representative Janet Carlile. Coun. Jack Lammert said council already approved the idea. It may as well chip in some dollars. But giving it in the form of a loan would be untenable. “Who will be shot when it’s not paid back?” he said. “It does not work. We are just kidding ourselves. Just give them the money.” The event is expected to draw thousands of visitors to Arnprior. “I’m absolutely delighted,” Carlile said. KANDHAR FLAG The town of Arnprior flag is flying at an army base in Kandahar, Gibeau told council. A member of the military called to ask for one not long ago. Gibeau hopes to get photos to share with councillors in the near future.

CAMP DAY ANOTHER SUCCESS

ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE - June 10 2010

Independent run for Clouthier LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com He says it’s not about party, it’s about representation. Former Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Liberal MP Hec Clouthier is back, announcing his intention to run as an independent in the next federal election. Clouthier made the official announcement Wednesday, hanging his trademark hat on the power of independence. “I still have a yearning for public life,” he says, explaining how he broke ranks with the Liberal Party of Canada. Clouthier says he met Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff in February 2009, at the leader’s request, and was asked to run again for the Liberals. Clouthier was interested, but had one demand – if an issue came to the floor where he knew his constituents’ wishes conflicted with the party line, he would be allowed to vote freely for his constituents. “I learned a very valuable lesson from Bill C-68,”

HEC CLOUTHIER Clouthier says, referring to the controversial gun legislation that taught him all about the price paid when you stray from the majority’s wishes. In the end, free votes couldn’t be assured and Clouthier said Ignatieff told him he would get back to him. He never did, says Clouthier. Instead, Renfrew County native and current Toronto lawyer Christine Tabbert was selected to carry the Liberal banner into the next federal election. Clouthier says he still

has a lot to offer, and is convinced the freedom of serving as an independent will allow him to face reigning Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant – on his own terms. He has also spoken with current Independent MP Andre Arthur about the power of independence in minority government, and Clouthier believes this rural riding’s voters can be better served by someone not handcuffed by the constraints of partisan politics. “The system is broken,” says Clouthier, adding he wants to be part of parliamentary reform to create better government. Clouthier says the “shine is off ” Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and MPs like Gallant have very little influence in his style of governing, whereas an independent would be truly free to fight on behalf of his constituents. “I believe people are starting to take a different look at things,” he said. “In a minority situation, with the power that an independent can have, See HEC, Page 9

FREE Drinking Water Lead Testing for Arnprior Residents

Regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act require that the Town of Arnprior conduct lead sampling of the drinking water at 40 residential and 4 non-residential locations connected to the Town of Arnprior’s drinking water distribution system. Sampling will commence on June 15, 2010 and is scheduled to continue until October 15, 2010. If you suspect that your home or business has lead piping or lead solder joints (i.e., buildings older than 1989) and wish to have your drinking water tested for lead, please contact: Heather Gough Environmental Eng. Tech. Town of Arnprior Phone: 613-623-4231 ext.222 e-mail: hgough@arnprior.ca

Mike Trumble Waterworks Supervisor Town of Arnprior Phone: 613-623-4231 ext. 246 e-mail: mtrumble@arnprior.ca

The sampling program will be ongoing, and sampling sites will be prioritized in accordance with the likelihood of lead services. There is no cost to the home or business owner for sampling and the results will be kept confidential. Residents that have already participated in previous sampling rounds may participate again! What to expect? 1. Town waterworks staff will enter your home or business and locate the primary drinking water tap. 2. Staff will allow the tap to run for 5 minutes to clear any standing water from the pipes, immediately following NO water should be used for 30 minutes, until the waterworks staff return to collect the water samples. 3. Staff will return to collect the water samples. The samples are submitted for lead analysis to an approved external laboratory. 4. The results are generally provided to the home or business owner within 10 business days following the sampling date. The results are NOT made available to the general public. If I have my water tested and it contains lead, what should I do? The most effective method to ensure lead is not leaching into your drinking water is to remove the lead piping, or the lead solder joints. As the home or business owner, you are responsible and own the drinking water pipes on your side of the curb-stop (i.e., shut-off valve). To mitigate, run water in the morning for approximately 5 minutes to remove the standing water in the pipes. Flushing toilets and having showers in the morning, prior to consuming the drinking water will help to remove standing water that may contain lead. What are the Town’s responsibilities? The Town is responsible for conducting the Community Lead Sampling Program. This program assists the Town in finding existing lead service lines. If the Town encounters a lead service line during water distribution maintenance, repair or renewal projects they are promptly removed/replaced from the main to the curbstop (i.e., shut-off valve), and the home or business owner connected to the service line is notified that their pipes may also be of lead construction.

Continued from Page 8 “I’d be their (the Conservative government’s) worst nightmare down there,. The last thing they want is a fellow like me as an independent.” “As an independent in a minority situation, they (whichever party is in power) needs every vote they can get,” he says. “As an independent, they would have to deal with me.” Clouthier is proud to know “all of the key players.” He is also proud of his recognition factor, and the substan-

tial knowledge and experience gained as both an MP and an advisor in the Prime Minister’s Office. He describes his time in the PMO as “the best three years of my life.” Nor is this new ground. Clouthier ran as an independent once before, and placed second that time to long-time Liberal MP Len Hopkins. And although he is not running as a Liberal, Clouthier says he hopes a lot of Liberals will support him as an independent. Clouthier identifies his top

issues as representation, opposing the pending harmonized sales tax supported in a House of Commons vote by MP Gallant, threats to jobs at Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., and gun registration. On the latter, Clouthier, himself a hunter, stresses proposed Conservative legislative changes wouldn’t scrap the registry, nor eliminate its costliness. For his full stand on the gun registry, and other issues such as the pending HST that he describes as “dreadfully

wrong,” Google ‘Hec Clouthier Independent.’ Next week he launches a series of newspaper ads on issues of key concern to the riding’s residents; voters he feels have been abandoned by MP Gallant. He said she also has racked up the highest expenses of all eastern Ontario MPs and he wants to know why. This week Clouthier and wife Debbie celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary, but he hopes to have another celebration in his future – after a federal elec-

tion he expects to be called this fall. Meanwhile he has no illusions. “I’m the underdog in this fight,” he says. But there’s no doubt he’s ready to fight. Borrowing from the mantra of U.S. President Barack Obama who energized an apathetic American public to give them their first black president, Clouthier wants residents in the riding to care again and vote again. “Yes, I can. Yes, we can,” he says.

Each week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up for adoption. #3675 Jasper Jasper, who was brought to the shelter in March in terrible condition, is now healthy and ready to ﬁnd a good home. The four-month-old neutered male had been a stray for several months and his fur was badly matted and full of burrs, requiring a few patches of hair to be shaved. Jasper is a friendly cat who likes attention and can be quite affectionate. Jasper is tolerant of most cats, but gets along best with females. He is very outgoing and curious, he likes to explore. Jasper can play rough and would be best suited in an adult home. # 3689 Weir Do you have room in your home for a cat with lots of personality? Weir is an 11-month-old, neutered male who was brought to the shelter with his brothers to ﬁnd a new home. He is just a big kitten at heart. He enjoys playing, climbing, exploring and looking for trouble. Weir is an outgoing cat, he likes to be the centre of attention and is affectionate and friendly. He loves to be held and snuggled and will climb onto your shoulders if you won’t pick him up. Weir is great with other cats, and would be best suited in a home with at least one other cat, he cannot be in a home with dogs. He is gentle and very sweet and would make a great friend for children.l

The annual Walkathon will be held at Robert Simpson Park on Sunday, June 13 Pledge forms available at the shelter or the website. For more info please call 613-623-0916. Supplies the shelter needs: Friskies canned cat food, bleach, liquid laundry soap and paper towels.

Patent grants give landowners many rights: CLA JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com The preservation of individual property rights may exist in historical documents known as Crown Land Patent Grants. These patent grants, in reality a contract between the Crown and the landowner, give the landowner of today protection against any invasive bylaws or legislation pertaining to the land, those at the annual general meeting of the Carleton Landowners Association (CLA) were told May 20. Elizabeth Marshall of the Collingwood area, secretary of the Ontario Landowners Association and a researcher with the Association’s Patent Committee, said at the meeting at the former Goulbourn municipal building at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville that a Crown Land Patent Grant gives today’s rural

landowner control over his or her land and the legal authority to defy intrusive legislation such as that protecting wetlands or endangered species. She said that the patent grants set out the original conditions pertaining to the ownership of the land, with a 60 year period provided for the Crown to change or revoke the patent grant. This has never happened and so today’s landowner, as an heir or assign of the original landowner, has inherited these rights as set out in the patent grant. This is unreserved ownership of the land except, in some cases, for certain features that may be listed in a particular patent such as gold, copper, iron, silver, white pine and navigable water. She urged all rural landowners, even if they own only a part of the original land grant, to apply to the Ontario Ministry of

Natural Resources for a certified copy of the Crown Land Patent Grant pertaining to the property. This costs $50. All that is needed is knowing the lot, concession and original township where the property sits. Marshall contended that while provincial governments can pass legislation pertaining to public lands, they cannot pass any legislation related to privately held land because of these patent grants which clearly provide for land ownership with no strings attached, as it were. This was the most major revelation at the annual general meeting. But receiving much attention as well was the current attempt by the Carleton Landowners Association and

Association to become a more structure group that would then be perceived as more credible and would gain more respect within the rural community. Having a “war chest” to legally back up protests to infringements on property rights was endorsed by Mark Tijssen, a Carlsbad Springs area resident who is battling the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources following an incident in which he killed a pig on his property and then allowed some of it to be taken off the property. He lamented the costs, ranging from $45,000 to $100,000 which he could be facing if he decides to fight the government in court. See CARLETON, Page 11

Continued from Page 10 If he agrees to a plea, his fine will only be a few thousand dollars or so. He praised the Carleton Landowners Association for providing moral support and advice to him but he lamented the group’s financial inability to help in any legal battles. “What we’re missing is the ability to take on these legal fees,” he said. He said the provincial government would be more worried if the landowners group had a war chest for such legal battles. “That’s my concern,” he said, “is that we are not well armed.” NEED FOR WAR CHEST He urged the Carleton Landowners Association to go a step beyond just providing moral support in cases of injustice against property rights and develop a financial clout that would enable those involved in clear cases of injustice to be defended. Carleton Landowners Association president Tom Black of Goulbourn said having such a war chest is something those involved with the association have dreamed about but the problem is there needs to be someone to fill such a war chest with money.

president of the Carleton Landowners Association, in his remarks at the meeting, agreed with the feeling the association needs a war chest.

The organization, which began seven years ago with four people sitting around a table, has grown to 21 county associations in Ontario.

But he said the organization has to become more structured and is looking to hire a communications officer who would also do fundraising.

The Main Street School of Music hosted The Show, the school’s third annual concert and fundraiser, on June 6, with proceeds going to the Arnprior Public Library for new learning materials for the music section. Above, the Group gets set to go on stage. From left, in back are Jalee LeBrun, Kacey McCarvill and Emily Dawson and in front are Emily Verch and Jeanika Benoit.

Sing is made up of Angela Brittle, Holly McCarvill, Fawn Bott, Steve Slater, Lois Carr, Lynda Denis, Judy Leclaire and Ray Leclaire.

The Township of McNab/Braeside has prepared a new draft Comprehensive Zoning By-Law for the Township under section 34 of the Planning Act to regulate the use of all lands, buildings and structures, within the entire Township of McNab/Braeside. The new Zoning By-law will replace the existing Comprehensive Zoning By-law (that was passed in 1999 by By-Law 99-18) and it may alter the zoning provisions currently applicable to your property, buildings or structures. A Zoning By-Law divides lands within a municipality into various zones (for example, residential, commercial, industrial) and sets out provisions for development within those zones such as uses that are permitted and building setbacks from property lines. These zones are delineated and labeled on a map. A Zoning By-Law also contains general provisions on development in all zones. The new draft Comprehensive Zoning By-Law also implements the Township’s new Official Plan that was approved in 2009. Since the draft Comprehensive Zoning By-Law affects lands throughout the entire Township, a key map or description of the affected lands have not been provided. The new draft Comprehensive Zoning By-Law can be viewed at the Township of McNab/Braeside Municipal Office during regular office hours or can be viewed on the Township’s website www.mcnabbraeside.com. You can check the zoning provisions that apply to your property and any other zone provisions. At the public meeting, if a person or public body does not make oral submissions or make written submissions to the Township of McNab/Braeside before the by-law is passed by the Township: • the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Township of McNab/Braeside to the Ontario Municipal Board; and • the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. NOTE: One of the purposes of the Planning Act is to provide for planning processes that are open, accessible, timely and efficient. Accordingly, all written submissions, documents, correspondence, emails or other communications (including your name and address) form part of the public record and will be disclosed/made available by the Municipality to such persons as the Municipality sees fit, including anyone requesting such information. Accordingly, in providing such information, you shall be deemed to have consented to its use and disclosure as part of the planning process. Dated at the Township of McNab/Braeside this 10th day of June, 2010.

close to wetlands and rivers. • Remember that turtles don't move very quickly, and their first response to danger is to pull into their shells. • If it’s safe to do so, you can help by moving a turtle off the road in the direction it was heading. There are eight species of turtles in Ontario, where the Endangered Species Act considers seven species at risk. Some turtles live 90 years or longer, but some don’t start to lay eggs until they’re 20 or older. Since surviving turtles can’t lay extra eggs to make up for the adults that have been killed, it is difficult to reverse the trend once a population starts to decline.

Help prevent turtle deaths Ontario’s snapping turtles are struck and killed by motor vehicles every year. Turtle populations are already under stress due to wetland loss and habitat degradation. Road mortality adds another significant stress that puts the species in jeopardy. During the spring and summer, the threat of vehicles to turtles is at its highest. This is especially true for females who wander away from water in search of nesting sites. Some even try to nest on gravel roads or shoulders of paved roads.

These weedy fields provide food for Meadow Voles, which in turn are food for Northern Harriers, Short-eared Owls, Red Foxes and Coyotes. Then there are fields that are covered in tall grasses. Hay fields provide habitat for grassland birds such as Bobolinks and Savannah Sparrows. Other fields are grazed by livestock. These short-grass meadows best suit the needs of Eastern Bluebirds and the endangered Loggerhead

Most of Canada will enjoy a warmer and drier summer season this year as compared to the past two years, according to The Weather Network’s recently released outlook for June, July and August. Nearly 44 per cent of Canadians love summer,

according to a recent poll conducted on theweathernetwork.com. Over 100,000 respondents were asked which season was their favourite. Fall is the second most popular season with 23 per cent of the vote.

“One of the most popular questions that I receive is ‘How will the summer be?’” said Martin Belanger, manager of Briefing Services with The Weather Network. “The outlook for this summer is for warmer and drier conditions for most

of the country as compared to the past two summers. We are forecasting temperatures to be near or slightly above normal. “This represents a marked difference, as the past two summers have been relatively poor in the minds

of Canadians east of the Rockies with long stretches of cool, wet weather.” El Nino, a periodic warming of the water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean near South America, has played a role in the weather patterns affecting Canada for

several seasons. As expected by meteorologists, the cyclical phenomenon is continuing to weaken and, as a result, will have little impact on Canadian weather patterns for the months of June, July and August.

Small mesh gill nets are used to capture small “forage fish” like perch and spottail shiners so that biologists can determine the different species of fish in each lake.

Lake surveys will help manage fisheries Provincial fisheries crews will be out on Ontario’s lakes this summer, monitoring lake health and fish populations, and checking for invasive species. If you’re on a lake that is being monitored and see Ministry of Natural Resources buoys, please don’t lift the nets or buoys, and avoid recreational activities between and around the buoys. All nets will be clearly marked. Information gathered through the surveys will be used to help make decisions about managing fisheries, including setting seasons and size limits for anglers. QUICK FACTS • These lake surveys are part of a

five-year cycle to collect information for fisheries management. Over five years, the ministry will monitor approximately 1,000 lakes across the Province of Ontario. • Crews will conduct netting surveys on 32 lakes in central and eastern Ontario. • Lake surveys are done by Ministry of Natural Resources staff with the support of summer students hired from local colleges and universities. • About 1.27 million anglers fish in Ontario each year, spending more than $2.5 billon dollars annually on fisheries-related products and services in the province.

Area teams meet for historic soccer match JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

It was an historic soccer match. For the first time, the two Arnprior-based senior soccer teams met in competitive play May 21. Peter Cadman’s Arnprior Blues eked out a 1-0 win over the Darren Ferdinand-coached Arnprior Arsenals on the Dochert field in McNab-Braeside. Until this year, the two teams have played in different oldtimers (35 and over) divisions in the Ottawa-Carleton Soccer League. The Arsenals (yellows) has its origins back in the mid-1970s, while the Blues are approaching the 10-year mark. At the end of last season, the Arsenals were relegated from the oldtimers division 3 to division 4 and the Blues moved up from division 5 to division 4. In the season’s opening match for both, the two rivals played an energetic, closely-marked game, decided by a penalty kick goal by the Blues’ Marc Butterly. After the match, most players stayed to enjoy a barbecue and socialize with one-another. “It certainly was high-spirit-

Blues players pictured, from left are Keith Rigby, Sam Grant and Serg Vanderlingen. ed … it was good to see two local teams playing on a local pitch,” said Ferdinand. “I expected it to be a pretty close game,” said Cadman. “It was keenly contested … but it’s friendly competition. It’s got to be fun if you keep playing at this age.” Cadman credited his goalkeeper, Gordon Ferrier, for playing an excellent game. Defender Sam Grant and striker Ken Bartan also had strong games, he

added. He said his team comes mostly from the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside, but there are a few players from Renfrew and the Fitzroy-Galetta area. In their second game in the 15-team division, the Arnprior Blues tied Ottawa South United 2-2 in Manotick May 28. Ferdinand’s Arsenals, who are also almost totally made up of Arnprior players, rebounded with a 4-2 win over Inter-Milan May 28, back at the Dochert field.

Photos by John Carter Mike Martin had two goals and Bryan Dick and Craig Taylor added singles for the Arsenals. “The guys really connected … they played well,” said Ferdinand. The teams play Friday eve-

nings. The next home game for the Arsenals is this Friday, June 11 when they host Kemptville at Dochert. The Blues next play home June 18, when they host Kanata. Games begin at 6:30 p.m.

Broadband infrastructure to bring county into 21st century STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com A $170 million project will bring Renfrew County, and other eastern Ontario municipalities, into the 21st-century communication mode. For 95 per cent of businesses and residents in the region, pedantic dial-up, slow-speed Internet will be a thing of the past. “The good news is that the vision we had is going to come to pass,” Jim Pine, the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus co-lead for the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN), told Renfrew County council in late April. “I think we’re poised to do something really important for eastern Ontario, and I’m just proud to be part of it,” said Pine of the $170 million project. The provincial and federal governments are each providing $55 million (as announced last summer) to build the fibre-optics system.

That system’s points of presence (POPs) will then help bring the high-speed, higher-capacity Internet service to every eastern Ontario municipality. The eastern Ontario municipalities are committing $10 million, while the remaining $60 million will come from the business sector. “High speed is an important part of the puzzle,” responded county councillor Bob Sweet of Petawawa. “But the capacity is the big thing,” he added, alluding to how the higher capacity will allow tele-health access to major outof-region medical facilities. “That’s just one example of connecting us to the world, and this is extremely important.” Interestingly, Finland, which primarily houses sparselyspread rural population, has written 100 megabit broadband service into its constitution as a human right. With that in mind, Mitch Wilkie, the county’s economic devel-

opment manager, says maybe the highest levels of Canadian government need to set similar goals for down the not-too-distant road. As former New Brunswick premier Bernard Lord noted, investment in broadband infrastructure is one of the few examples of where all sectors of the population benefit. Pine told county council that the plan calls for EORN to be up and running within about three years, with an initial, but expandable capacity of 10 megabits. Most parts of the county have significantly less capacity, but communities such as Petawawa, for example, recently acquired six-megabit capacity. Other parts of county have significantly slower Internet speed well below what many believe to be a basic minimal

standard of 1.5 megabits. Future capacity will largely be determined by need and demand, suggested Pine, saying the infrastructure soon to be built is “not about today. It’s about today and tomorrow.” “Our economic development is attached to this program,” said county councillor RayeAnne Briscoe of AdmastonBromley. Connectivity provides the ability to talk to the rest of the world efficiently and quickly, if needs be, said Briscoe. But she said another part of economic development is sadly missing, with the anticipated demise of the local railway. “Guess what? How do we get that product to port?” wondered Briscoe, noting that the absence of the railway would be “shameful, shameful, shameful, and that dialogue” needs to continue

to impress on governments the need to keep railways open as well. Meanwhile, the plan’s business components are being kept largely quiet, to protect the interests of current and potential contributors to the EORN project. Submissions from requests for proposal (for satellite connectivity and the backhoe transportation network) are being evaluated, and contribution agreements with the federal and provincial governments are being worked out. “If everything goes as we think it will, we think we’ll have spades in the ground this summer,” said Pine. A request for proposal for the POPs will be made this fall. EORN also has an interim chief executive officer in David Fell of Peterborough who was hired in late February.

Renewable energy workshop in Cobden Renfrew County residents, farmers, business owners, and municipal representatives are invited to a free renewable-energy workshop on Wednesday, June 16 at the Cobden Agricultural Hall. The 7 p.m. workshop will feature three guest speakers who will offer useful information on various types of renewable energy projects that they have been involved with, and how they could be easily replicated in Renfrew County. Topics will include, generating income from the MicroFIT and FIT programs, community and wind and solar projects, First Nations community wind projects, community micro-hydro generation, local opportunities for biomass growers and developing a biomass growers network. Guest speakers will be Graham Findlay of 3G Energy Corp, Rosanne Van Schie of Algonquin Agro Energy Inc, in Mattawa and Muffy Koch of Burritts Rapids Renewable Energy Association. With its agriculture and forestry industries, and advantageous geographical location for the production of wind, solar and micro-hydro energy, workshop organizers say Renfrew County has great potential for developing numerous private and community renewable energy projects. The workshop is being organized by the Ottawa River Institute, a local not-for-profit organization that promotes sustainable communities and ecological integrity in Renfrew County and the Upper Ottawa Valley.

Amateur radio buffs ready to help LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com Communication is important. So is helping others. Amateur radio operators have found a way to enjoy their hobby, while at the same time serving the broader community through Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES). ARES is a dedicated volunteer organization comprised of amateur (HAM) radio operators. Across North America and since 1935, ARES has provided radio communications in times of emergency or disaster, helping to save lives and property. To make that possible, training is key. The Renfrew County East ARES held a full-day training session May 1 at Our Lady of Fatima School in Renfrew. The session included the first two modules of a four-module training program that wraps up this Saturday, May 15 at the Renfrew school. Seventeen people attended, some travelling from as far away as Deep River and Smiths Falls to participate. Each session includes classroom and on-air exercises. ARES is comprised of licensed radio amateurs who voluntarily register their qualifications and equipment for communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes. Every licensed radio amateur, whether or a member of Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) or any other local or regional organization, is eligible for membership in ARES. Owning emergency-powered equipment is desirable but not a requirement. DESIRE TO SERVE “The only qualification is a sincere desire to serve,” the ARES website says, a point underscored by district emergency co-ordinator Michael Hickey, Renfrew County East co-ordinator Paul Dowdall and assistant co-ordinator Ron Sinclair. “Duty,” is the word Hickey uses to explain why people join ARES. Beyond developing the Renfrew County East group, the organization is also committed to

creating a strong mutual aid response group. WHEN DISASTER STRIKES When disaster strikes, ARES provides supplemental communications support to clients ranging from municipalities and counties to social services such as the Red Cross. Members of ARES, which serves largely as an auxiliary group to support other services, must pass exams to qualify for the program. The only other hobby that is federally-licensed is amateur aviation. “Right now we’re building the group up,” says Hickey. To reach that goal, he invites all amateur radio (HAM) operators to register with the Renfrew County ARES group. “In these modern times of cellular phones and the internet, we take instant communications for granted,” says an information brochure on the group. “During times of emergency, these communication infrastructures can become overloaded and impede normal communications capability.” As the brochure further notes: “Young or old, commuter or shutin, amateur radio is for anyone who would like to operate radio equipment at home, in their vehicle or use a handy talkie, and have a strong willingness to help during community events and in times of distress or emergencies.” Renfrew County ARES provides training in emergency communications, local and distant messaging handling, and radio net procedures. It also provides free public communications service in support of community events such as parades, walk-a-thons, bikea-thons, car rallies or any large event, using amateur radio and experienced operators. THE NEW WAVE “Join our dynamic team. Be a part of the new wave of amateur radio in the 21st century,” says Hickey. Call Sinclair at 613-432-3371 or contact Dowdall by emailing paul.dowdall@ontario.ca for more information.

Book signing Saturday for Arnprior author

Don Semyour’s signings for fiction thriller at Carleton Place Read’s Bookstore from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Don Seymour, better known to his Arnprior friends as Don Dewar, is excited about the publishing of his first book, a fiction thriller called A Mortal Deception. Seymour’s book is available at the Arnprior Book Shop as well as Read’s Bookstore in Carleton Place, where he will be holding a book signing this Saturday, June 12 between 1 and 2:30 p.m. MORTAL DECEPTION A Mortal Deception tells the tale of Canadian criminal mastermind Gary Watson, who is not accustomed to being had after years of defrauding governments, businesses, and his less-talented criminal counterparts. Another successful heist seems in order in Georgia until gritty, street-smart Canadian civil servant Joe Crewman leads Watson to believe he may have finally met his match. Each man quickly realizes that this will be a whole new chess game, a battle of equals on opposite sides of the law. Dewar reveals what happens as they match wits with each other and a world

of bureaucrats, hungry criminals looking for the big-time, and backwoods vigilantes. ONTARIO AND GEORGIA The plot is developed in two areas, Calhoun in northern Georgia and the Peterborough region in Eastern Ontario. Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com. Dewar was born in McNab-Braeside and raised the Arnprior area. After graduating as a biochemical technologist, he began working in the finance industry in finance companies, banks, and eventually the federal government. His experience in this area and the characters he encountered have been continual sources for inspiration in his writing. He is retired, living in Arnprior and writing full-time.

Rowat, Robinson to take over St. Joe’s, John XXIII JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Both Arnprior Catholic elementary schools will have new principals Sept 1. The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board announced last week that Mary-Lise Rowat will become the new principal at St. Joseph’s and Heidi Robinson is taking over at John XXIII. Rowat has been principal of St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Calabogie for the past several years. She has been a teacher, department head and viceprincipal at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew in the past decade. She has also been principal of the New Horizons and Valleycrest Programs. Rowat holds a Master of Education from the University of Ottawa as well as principal qualifications. She has special-

ist qualifications in special education. “Mary-Lise works diligently to foster excellent relationships among members of the home, school, parish and extended community,” said director of education Michele Arbour. “Service is an important aspect of her leadership style.” “Mary-Lise fosters positive relationships with all stakeholders,” said Arnprior-McNab-Braeside-Calabogie-Trustee Andy Bray. “The St. Joseph’s, Arnprior community will benefit from her many strengths.” Rowat is an active Eucharistic Minister and catechist at St. Francis Xavier Parish in Renfrew. She and her husband David have three children. The board announced last month that St. Joe’s principal Christina Brown, who has been at the school since Sept. 1, 2006, will become principal of Our Lady of

Sorrows Catholic School in Petawawa this September. “Thanks to all the staff, parents and community,” Brown said. “It’s been a wonderful experience.” Rowat succeeded Sondra Keatley as principal in Calabogie when she moved to John XXIII in Arnprior. Keatley replaced Myles Sabourin, who also came to John XXIII from St. Joseph’s School in Calabogie. Keatley is retiring and will be replaced Sept. 1 by her vice-principal Heidi Robinson. Like Rowat, Robinson served a stint as vice-principal at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew. Since joining the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board in 2000, Robinson has been a teacher and viceprincipal at the elementary level as well the high school. Most recently, she has been the assistant to the director of

education. Robinson holds a Master of Education degree from the University of Ottawa as well as principal qualifications. She has additional qualifications in religious education and special education. “Ms. Robinson is an effective and organized leader who nurtures the giftedness, self-worth and potential of each individual,” said Bray. Arbour concurs, noting, “Heidi is authentic in her vision that all students can learn. She respects her staff members and works consistently to foster an authentic spiritual and academic culture.” Robinson is a eucharistic minister and co-leader of the parish book club at St. Francis Xavier Parish in Renfrew. She is also an active recreational enthusiast who enjoys competitive ringette in Ottawa.

Jodie Barrett promoted: McNab getting new principal JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

McNab Public School is getting a new principal in September. Jodie Barrett, who has been guiding the school since 2005, has been appointed as the Renfrew County District School Board’s principal for special services. She will be replaced by another experienced educator, Bronywn Scott, who has been principal at Central Public School in

Renfrew for several years. Prior to that Scott was viceprincipal at Walter Zadow Public School. Scott will take over one of the few schools in the district to begin offering all-day kindergarten in 2010-11 in the first year of the phased-in program. The appointment is one of several principals and vice-principal moves made by the school board in the last month. In another change to take effect Sept. 1, former A.J. Charboneau teacher Stella Callighen

will become interim vice-principal of Walter Zadow Public School. Margaret Maloney, a former principal at A.J. Charbonneau, will move across Renfrew, leaving Queen Elizabeth to replace Scott at Central Public School. Admaston principal and Burnstown resident Lisa Murphy will become principal at Queen Elizabeth. Tracey Stevens has been appointed interim principal of Admaston. Tom Havey returns to Arnprior District High School as

interim vice-principal and Debra Metzger joins the administrative team at Fellowes High School as vice-principal. Amy Johnson will become the new vice-principal of Opeongo High School and Bo Stelmach will move to the same role at Madawaska Valley District High School. Craig Myers becomes the new vice-principal of the Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School. There are still vacancies to be filled. They will be filled by mid-July.
