MOVIE DEBUT FOR LOCAL FILMMAKER

White Lake Road seniors housing complex plans withdrawn JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

A proposed seniors housing project on White Lake Road might have been too far ahead of its time.

David St. Amour has announced that he and his partners have withdrawn their request to the township for support and are trying to sell the 12-acre property.

The decision is another blow to hopes for new seniors housing in the area, coming on the heels of word the province has withdrawn support for a proposed seniors housing project in Arnprior. The county is protesting that move.

St. Amour praised the assistance and encouragement he had received from the

township, but said the approval process is too long, complicated, expensive and uncertain to make it worth the risk.

The property involved is designated farm land.

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell said she is disappointed, but understands the decision. The proposal was innovative and could have pushed the township to the forefront of providing a much needed seniors housing option in a rural setting, she said.

The plan was for a rural adaptation of urban style accommodations, she said, adding it could have proved such housing does not necessarily require urban water and sewer connections.

ADHS presents library with $5,000 DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com Few community libraries can say young people show their support with thousands of dollars.

But that is what happened at the Arnprior Public Library last Friday when Arnprior District High School presented it with a $5,000 cheque.

“We are very happy to be donating the money to the town.

It’s a good match for us, and the kids were thrilled,” said vice-principal Amy Johnson. “One of the school’s goals this year was to become even more of a community member.”

BATHROOM RESOLUTIONS

Even with Dr. J announcing his intention to close his Audiotronics store, leaving another gap in Arnprior’s retail sector, it seems steady sailing for at some manufacturers. At least that’s the case for Arnprior Aerospace.

“We’ll have our name in the phone book in 20 years. It may be a different name at some point, but we think we’ll be here,” said vice-president of operations and general manager Tom Melvin.

“We’re doing what we think we need to do to be competitive over the long run.”

What Arnprior Aerospace needed to do - back in 1998 when its workforce topped 800 and its sole client was Boeing - was to grow leaner and more competitive. Today the workforce is about half what is was, depending on which month you are watching, and it has two more major clients. Melvin and others are furiously knocking on doors worldwide, trying to sell – largely commercial – airplane parts after a 50-year history focused on military. Could there be more layoffs, temporary or otherwise?

“We anticipate it’s going to be a challenge for the next 12 to 15 months,” he said recently, while hosting Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant and providing a mini-tour for media.

The high dollar continues to pound exporters. Nylene seems to be holding its own, thanks in large part to the niche it has carved out. Sandvik is coming out of the recession in good shape. Pacific Safety Products is at a moment of instability, a deal to sell having fallen through this week. There is little concern of it moving.

Arnprior Aerospace, at between $60 and $80-million annual sales, is on a firm fixed rate of $1.20. That means as the Loonie continues to straddle par

with the Greenback, the Canadian exporter is dishing out an additional 20 cents for every dollar.

HANDS-OFF GOVERNMENT Asked if the federal government planned to push the Bank of Canada to take action, Gallant raised her hand in stop-sign fashion.

“Do you want politicians tinkering with the dollar?” she asked rhetorically.

With a government that maintains there is little role for it to play in driving the economy even in the face of state-run capitalist nations like China claiming victories in the manufacturing sector - companies such as Arnprior Aerospace are scrambling to keep one step ahead.

The subsidies continue. Montreal-based Boeing is home to a number of federal ridings deemed crucial to all political parties. And there remains rules in place that make it necessary to protect manufacturing jobs in Canada.

However, Melvin said there is no mistaking that his company is in a globalized environment.

Arnprior Aerospace invested some $9 million in new technologies over the past five years, on top of the $50,000 for training Gallant came by to observe.

The idea is to leave low-cost

But even that is fraught with danger. The relatively new Dreamliner model, Boeing’s answer to Airbus, outsold all competition before it was released. So far, though, only 27 have been shipped out, less than half what designers had hoped.

The technology can prove daunting.

“Since 2005, really, it’s been cutthroat now that we are no longer a part of Boeing,” Melvin said. “We don’t have anyone looking out for us anymore. It is what it is.”

EDITORIAL Let it be It would be a shame if a cougar seen by at least three people on the outskirts of Arnprior recently meets the same unfortunate fate as two moose that unwisely entered the suburbs of Ottawa this month.

The two moose were shot by police when nobody else would take action to remove them from the city. Ottawa officials have arranged a meeting with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to discuss ways to prevent such an outcome again if there is another incursion of wildlife in the city.

There needs to be a plan in place to deal with Arnprior’s cougar if it becomes a pest. So far it appears to have kept to itself and not threatened anyone. However, the latest report that suggests the big cat might have killed a dog is disturbing.

The MNR, while hamstrung by cutbacks and not convinced there are wild cougars in this area, should be ready to work with local officials to protect both the public and the cougar if there are other incidents, The Eastern Cougar Organization maintains cougars do not pose a danger to humans. The cougar group suggests it is more likely someone will get hit by lightning than be attacked by a cougar and Canadians are 20 times more likely to be killed by a dog than a cougar.

With that in mind, shooting the cougar should only be considered as a last resort. If everyone exercises some common sense, the cougar should be able to live quite peaceably in our midst.

Knock, knock: any more money?

To the editor:

Is it time we, the townspeople of Arnprior, in a time where we are being taxed to death by both the federal and provincial governments, begin to hold our honorable council and mayor accountable for their seemingly carefree attitude when it comes to spending our tax dollars?

While reading the Chronicle-Guide (June 10), I was stunned to read the first four or five pages. I was especially interested in Coun. Jack Lammert’s comments regarding ‘Prince of the Prior’ festivities organizers request for $3,000 “seed money: in the form of a loan.

According to the Chronicle-Guide, Coun. Lammert stated: “Who will be shot when it’s not paid back? Just give them the money.” Really, Mr. Lammert?

You are aware it’s OUR tax dollars you’re tossing around, aren’t you?

I would love to walk into a bank looking for a loan and have them tell me to just take the money – “no strings attached.”

How about the $17,000 stated in the front page article for a solar panel study to determine if the Nick Smith Centre can even generate energy and income for the town? That’s a study, people – it’s

50/50 whether or not anything will happen - the entire plan could be scrapped.

That $17,000 could just go swirling down the bowl.

How about the extra cost incurred by hiring more Municipal Law Enforcement Services to canvass door-to-door this summer looking for unregistered pets? I would be curious to see if the extra cost incurred justifies the anticipated $2,600 -$5,000 in revenue.

I forgot to mention - the article stated that Municipal Law Enforcement Services will be keeping 50 per cent of the licensing fees. That brings the potential revenue to about $1,300-$2,500. Wow. How about, and this is the clincher, the $10,000 (that’s ten THOUSAND) council spent on a “shaky, poorly lit” promotional video that even mispronounced Mayor Gibeau’s name. If I spent $10,000 on a video that not only had poor production value and mispronounced my name, I would certainly be looking for a refund.

We should all seriously consider how council is spending our money every time we look at our tax bills. We should also consider it when election time finally arrives.

Kevin Barr Arnprior

Arnprior council’s pet control plan overkill To the editor: I am appalled at how intrusive it is to have bylaw officers check doorto-door for pets.

It is almost totalitarian in its zest for control of

citizens lives.

I hope the council will advise residents that they are under no legal obligation to admit these minions onto their property, nor answer the door nor

answer their questions.

Surely people have the right to privacy and a right to avoid self-incrimination?

Doug Reynolds Arnprior

Dear citizens of Arnprior and area, I am writing today because I think we should bring the Go Train Service to our area.

The Go Train Service is an interregional public transportation service that gives citizens lifts from place to place, much quicker and much safer.

Go Transit has been around since 1967, but hardly any provinces around here have it. I think that our areas such as Arnprior, Braeside, Renfrew, Eganville and Pembroke would really benefit from Go Transit.

Think how easy it would be to go do some shopping in Ottawa without having to drive that far.

Instead, you can just purchase a train pass, and kick your feet up and relax the whole way.

Since our normal transport trains are not running right now, and who knows when they will be back. I think that the Go Train service would be a perfect replacement because then our tracks wouldn’t go to waste. We have a perfect, fast route here people, and let’s not ruin it.

I understand it is not up to me, I am just a 17-year-old girl, but I think someone who is in charge of these situations should really think about this.

Rebecca Arbic Arnprior

Anyone seen a cement turtle?

To the editor:

Some time last week we noticed our large cement turtle was taken from our front flower garden from our Landrigan Street home.

I can’t really say or prove who stole it, but I have a idea, because we have a few kids that do mischief things around here .

As this item is heavy, it must have taken a couple persons to take it away. Sometimes these type of things end up in other people’s gardens. I reported it to the police on Friday.

If anyone knows anything, call me at 613-622-0331 or email me at robert.bassenden@sympatico.ca.

Thank you for help.

SENIORS’ CONTRIBUTION RECOGNIZED BY TOWNSHIP

Receiving certificates of appreciation at a Senior Recognition ceremony in McNab-Braeside Council chambers June 1, in front from left, are Robert Stebbing, Ellen-Jean McTeer, Wilbert Michelson, Howard McLachlan and Ray Cook; and in back Gordon and Marion Bethune, Erva Michelson, Glenna McLachlan, Jean McLeod, Adele and Allan McLeod, and Sally Cook. The township honours seniors every year during Seniors Month (June).

Continued from front “It was the right idea, but not the right time,” Campbell said.

“There just wasn’t enough support.”

“We have to be realistic,” St. Amour said, explaining the approval process could have taken well over two years and forced the developers to undertake a number of costly studies without any high expectation of success.

He said setting a precedent by approving a $45-million multi-

unit residential development on farmland with some sort of high-technology water and sewer service would have been risky for both the developers and the township.

“We don’t want to put the township in a position where they might be liable,” he said. “I have a feeling this would have been a major task even for a big town.”

He said was delighted by the co-operation he received from the township, especially from CAO Noreen Mellema, build-

ing inspector Doug Schultz and Campbell. “I have every intention of working with the township on other projects,” he said.

“But next time I think I’ll do something a little bit easier on them and us.

“I’d like to leave the precedent-making … the groundbreaking to those who have more time,” he added. “I don’t have that amount of staying power.”

The project had been proposed for land between the Madawaska River and White Lake Road near Mountain Creek Golf Course.

Dog, cat blitz approved DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The controversial dog and cat registration passed Arnprior town council Monday evening, but not without some hesitation from at least one councillor.

The registration will see bylaw enforcement officers knocking on doors this summer to ask if homeowners have any of the unregistered pets.

There was some discussion around ‘grandfathered’ animals who were unregistered before the current bylaw came into effect seven years ago. But much was said about what can be done if officers suspect an animal lives in the home.

“I don’t know how it’s going to work,” said Coun. Mark Willmer. “What we are approving is right, but it’s not simple.”

Willmer said owners will have to prove their pets are spayed or neutered and have birth certificates are in place, along with other paper work. A lot is needed before owners can pay the registration fee, he said.

Chief administrative officer Larry Donaldson said he wouldn’t want to be the officer charged with the responsibility. However, he added town official will take people at their word and be accommodating. “We’ll deal with these in a reasonable, common sense way and try to achieve voluntary compliance,” he said.

M-B to hire facilities/public works manager JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com McNab-Braeside council has decided to add a public works and property manager position to its staff.

The township has advertised the new position with the deadline for applications this Friday, June 18.

Mayor Mary Campbell stressed that the new position is not replacing or changing the job being done by township road superintendent Brian Box. “He’s a wonderful person doing a great job,” she said. However, the township felt that with 15 recreation, fire and parks facilities it made sense to have a property manager.

There are also the new facility accessibility questions to tackle under the new

provincial legislation.

Adding public works responsibilities to the position fits well and will provide leadership and co-ordination in a variety of areas, some that “don’t have a home right now,” Campbell explained.

She said taking the responsibility for waste management and cemeteries from treasurer-deputy clerk Connie Graham will free her up for her core duties. As well, having a facilities manager will enable the new recreation director, when hired, to focus on programming instead of being always asked to deal with facility issues, she added.

Campbell said the new manager can also tackle security concerns council has about some of its properties, notably the Waba Museum buildings.

AYNSLEY MORRIS Bicycles for Humanity Volunteer Arnprior resident Andy Kalnins, an avid cyclist, runner, kayaker and Nordic walker, has just made a generous donation to Ottawa’s Bicycles for Humanity (B4H) to help ship a container-load of second-hand mountain bikes to Malawi.

“I know that every dollar I’m giving is going to Africa,” Kalnins says of his decision to donate to B4H. “It’s going to help either the shipping of bicycles or procuring bicycle parts. It’s specific and small and I know where my money is going.”

But this generous donation is about more than just money; it represents the life-changing experience that Kalnins has undergone over the past eight months.

On Oct. 21, 2009, the very active 55year-old felt a tightness in his chest when he was out for a run but didn’t think much about it. He mentioned it to his doctor who ordered tests.

During a scan, “the internist said ‘stop doing everything, put the brakes on,

there’s something going on’,” said Kalnins. He ended up on an operating table at the Ottawa Heart Institute Feb. 23 undergoing quintuple bypass surgery. While it takes effort to recover from heart surgery, Kalnins thought of a way to give himself a little extra motivation: for every day he was off his bike, he was going to pledge $3 to B4H. The longer the recovery time, the more he would have to donate.

Kalnins was very fortunate to have an incredible number of health resources at hand. “You get x-rays, blood tests, cardiograms,” he said. “I even had my own personal chest pump to control the drainage. After I used it, it had to be disposed of. Most of the people on the planet don’t have access to the care and surgery I had.

For probably 90 per cent of the world, if you have chest pain, too bad, that’s the way it goes.”

A certain number of the bicycles that B4H ships to its partners are allocated to health care workers. Because there is a shortage of health care workers in many countries, and trained health care work-

ers are often responsible for a number of communities, bicycles can help improve community access to health care.

Trained workers can visit communities more frequently and can carry more supplies with them if they have a bike.

“I thought that more people than just I could benefit from my surgery because of the little decision I made,” said Kalnins, explaining how his personal fundraising drive. “If I can get a bicycle to someone who could really make use of it, it’s a small step in giving back.”

Kalnins was back on his bike on his

55th birthday May 15, a mere 90 days after his surgery. “It was a wonderful, wonderful feeling. It felt like I was 10 years old.

When you haven’t cycled for a while, you forget how wonderful it is, just being up and being able to move quickly,” he said.

“Honest to God you feel like you’re 10 years old and you can ride your bike for the first time without someone hanging on to it and you’re free to just go on your own.” He then added an additional 10 days of recuperation to his B4H donation.

Developer decides against mayoralty run DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com Residential developer and 2009 Town Award winner Scott McEwan has opted not to join the mayoral race this year.

McEwan said his business keeps him busy, and he suspects his kids will keep him even busier next year. They enter teen years and are heavily involved in sports. McEwan had an interest in running the town “more like a business.”

Motorist thought cougar was carrying dog Continued from front Arnprior resident Darryl Wall said he was at the gas bar next to PJs about 1 p.m.

Tuesday when a Toronto resident stopped and asked if there was a zoo or exotic animal farm nearby.

The driver said he’d just seen a cougar on County Road 29 just off Highway 417 near the corner of the Madawaska Golf Course. The cougar came out of the lefthand ditch and crossed the road in front of him, he said, adding it looked as if it was carrying a dog.

The sighting was on the other side of the highway from where Margaret Cairns of White Lake saw a cougar May 17 while she was driving to work in Ottawa.

Wall said he regrets not getting the name of the Toronto man, but he rushed

to the scene to see if he could get a photograph of the animal. However, it was nowhere to be seen.

“He was adamant he’d seen a cougar,” said Wall. “He asked if he should phone the police.”

Wall suggested he contact the Ministry of Natural Resources, but doesn’t know if he took the advice.

He said he isn’t surprised by the sighting, as there is plenty of wildlife in the large bush area that stretches from the golf course to the Ottawa River.

Wall said from what he’s read, cougars usually feed on deer and smaller wildlife.

It’s unfortunate if it attacked a dog, he said, noting people with young children and small pets should be careful in that area.

Men’s Selected Arnprior Mayor Terry Gibeau, left, Arnprior Public Library Trustee Daniel Smith and chief librarian Karen DeLuca were on hand for the $5,000 cheque presentation, ADHS Leadership Council representative Will Clark, ADHS Leadership Council representative Colin Enright, ADHS vice-principal Amy Johnson and library board chairman Neil Salminen were also there.

Library: a really inviting place for teens’ Continued from front The following ADHS groups helped raise the money for the library: * ADHS Leadership Council; * ADHS Performing Arts (performances of the musical as well as the Sears festival play); * ADHS Music Department (Frank Pecora) - concert proceeds; * ADHS Coffeehouses and Rock Concert (Brian Reid and James Hrkach organizers); * the Horticulture class (Karen Dodds); * the senior Business class (Jim Anas); * the ADHS Gay-Straight Alliance; * the Data Management class (Shannon Perry-Bell).

Chief librarian Karen DeLuca said the

donation shows the service is highly valued. The money will be used to spruce up the children and teen section. The corner window area will have a coffee counter and a few other items to warm it up.

“It will make it a really inviting place for teens. A fun place, and we’ll have a plaque for them,” DeLuca said. “It’s astounding that they would raise that much money and think to give it locally to us. People are so good to us.”

The library is a hub for people in town, she added, with between 350 and 500 people walking through the door on a summer day to sign out 600 to 700 items.

It also has one of the highest per capita membership rates in the province.

Basement renovations are expected to wrap up near the end of July, after the elevator is installed.

Princely season ahead for museum Opening event features visitor from Scotland SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com It promises to be a banner summer at the Arnprior and District Museum.

With recently completed renovations, windows being replaced and the Prince and the Prior re-enactment just around the corner, the museum celebrated its opening June 9 with a full house.

David Forsyth, senior curator of Scottish Social History and Diaspora at the National Museum of Scotland, was the guest speaker for the event.

“I’m delighted to have David Forsyth here from Edinburgh,” said Arnprior Museum curator Janet Carlile.

She credited supporters for their help.

“I’d like to thank the council and the

Town of Arnprior for their continued support of this museum,” said Carlile.

“Without your support we really don’t know what we’d do,” said Carlile.

In terms of an update, Carlile explained the windows have been taken out and should be replaced by the end of the month. “They are being rebuilt using as many of the original materials as they possibly can,” said Carlile.

A Trillium grant allowed for the refurbishing of the top floor, which is now complete. This floor is where the Prince and the Prior exhibit will be housed in conjunction with the upcoming reenactment of the prince’s 1860 visit to Arnprior.

Scottish roots run deep in Canada Continued from Page 9 A new washroom has also increased the building’s capacity, said Carlile.

Algonquin College students will once again be involved in several museum projects, including construction of the Prince and the Prior exhibit.

Board members and other volunteers logged in excess of 3,000 hours last year.

“It’s an amazing figure and I’m very grateful,” said Carlile.

Arnprior Mayor Terry Gibeau thanked Carlile, board members and volunteers for all their hard work..

“This really is the achievement of Arnprior and it continues to grow and it continues to thrive,” said Gibeau.

THE EMIGRANT’S KIST Special guest Forsyth said by some estimates there are 50 million people across the world who can claim Scottish ancestry.

“The history of the Scots in relation to Canada is long and deep,” said Forsyth.

An emigrants’ kist, the chest that Scots traditionally brought with them on their journey to the new country, was on display, along with samples of the kind of personal items and other things people would have brought.

Forsyth spoke about the Scottish emigrants who came to Canada, some with no choice, he said, but some who welcomed the new opportunity in a vast land.

“You could lose Scotland in the middle

of Ontario,” he said of the geographic comparison.

Among the slides Forsyth shared were examples of advertisements and newspaper articles about the journey to Canada.

Those who came were often educated and looking to improve their lives, he said, but are often portrayed as down-

and-outs. “These were people who read newspapers, people who knew what was going on in the world,” he said.

Chain migration, or word of mouth that life in Canada was good, ensured a steady stream of Scots emigrating here.

The introduction of the 10-pound ticket after the Second World War further increased the flow.

# 3629 Barnaby Do you have a feline-free home to welcome this handsome puppy? Barnaby, a neutered five-yearold Beagle mix, was found in early December in Burnstown. He is a strong, energetic boy, who loves to go for walks. Barnaby is friendly but can be wary of strangers. He is a quiet dog who is housebroken. Barnaby would love a home with a fenced yard so he can enjoy off-leash exercise.

Barnaby will need a feline free home, as he cannot resist the urge to chase cats. He gets along well with female dogs, and would be fine with children over five. Please consider adopting this handsome boy. #3638 Jade Are you an experienced, patient dog owner with room for Jade, a year-old spayed Rottweiler/Lab mix? Jade was found running down the highway with her collar and leash attached. She is very loving and affectionate once she knows you. She is very wary of new people and will require a home that is willing to socialize her. Jade is good with cats and has a healthy respect of their space, she is timid around new dogs. Jade knows her basic obedience and is very intelligent so she will learn quickly. To see Jade’s true potential as a wonderful companion, interested adopters should come and spend some time with her. Jade is a sweet little puppy who deserves a wonderful forever home.

Supplies the shelter needs are Friskies canned cat food, bleach, liquid laundry soap and paper towels.

Have lunch with the Prince The Prince is coming to lunch.

Following the historical reenactment on July 3 of the Prince of Wales’ visit to Arnprior 150 years ago, a lunch replicating the menu that was served in 1860 will be offered.

Along the shores at the confluence of the Ottawa and Madawaska Rivers, His Royal Highness Prince Albert Edward VII will be arriving for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McLachlin and many of the inhabitants of Arnprior and surrounding areas.

The lunch will be served at the home, The Hill (now called Galilee), hosted by the McLachlins at 12:30. An expert caterer will recreate the elaborate menu that was served to the Prince of Wales. Lunch will include chilled roast beef loin, hot corned beef, chilled smoked tongue, oyster patties with mustard style dip, duck terrine, roast potatoes, fruit tarts, fresh fruit, fancy sandwiches and sparkling punch.

The $35 tickets are available in Arnprior from the Gallery Gift Shop, Sweet and Sassy Co., Danny Mac’s Pub, Arnprior District Museum and the Nick Smith Centre and in Almonte at Foodies Fine Foods.

ATV rollover claims life

June 17 2010 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE

Police are warning all-terrain-vehicle drivers to be careful after a Valley man was killed Sunday.

Lorne Trautrim, 43, of Laurentian Valley was driving his ATV along Station Hill Road when he lost control. The ATV left the roadway and overturned.

13

Trautrim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Another male accompanying Trautrim on a dirt bike also lost control of his vehicle and suffered non-life threatening injuries. The vehicles did not collide with each other.

Citizen takes keys away from suspected impaired driver The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to 171 calls for service last week, many related to alcohol abuse.

On Sunday June 13, a motorist reported a possible impaired driver in Calabogie at about 4:30 p.m.

The witness advised the driver had almost struck a vehicle head-on.

When they vehicle pulled over, a citizen removed its keys.

Renfrew OPP officers attended and arrested the male driver.

He was taken to Renfrew Victoria Hos-

pital, where a blood sample was taken.

A 44-year-old Ottawa man was charged with impaired driving and further charges are pending.

He was released on a promise to appear in Renfrew Aug. 25.

Constable Ryan Besner investigated.

Among other people charged by the Renfrew OPP with offences under the Liquor Licence Act last week were a 22year-old Pakenham man (intoxicated in a public place) and two 17-year-olds from Woodlawn (being under 19 and having alcohol).

There is lots of life on lilypads One of my favourite ways of enjoying nature is to paddle a cedar canoe through a wetland, especially early in the morning or late in the evening.

This summer I am privileged to be conducting bird surveys by canoe in marshes near Lake Ontario. I start near sunrise and finish usually as the sun is setting. At both times there is much to see and hear.

Red-winged Blackbirds and Marsh Wrens greet the rising sun with gusto. Great Blue Herons and American Bitterns explode into flight from hidden hunting sites. Otters suddenly appear only to vanish with a snort.

And for every large animal there are myriad small ones encountered.

The floating leaves of water plants are major centres of activity. Some leaves are small, such as the oval ones of Water-shield.

By comparison, waterlily leaves are gigantic.

White Water-lilies bear dinner-plate leaves

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way while those of Bullhead-lilies are heartshaped.

Several species of Bluet damselflies perch on the floating leaves. Despite their name, several are not blue! The Marsh Bluet, whose thin abdomen bears partial black as well as blue segments, takes off from the pads and skims low over the water’s surface in search of small prey.

The Orange Bluet does much the same.

Only as the sun promises to disappear does the lovely yellow Vesper Bluet make its appearance.

Dragonflies also perch on floating leaves.

The Dot-tailed White-

face is well named for this tiny black dragonfly owns a shocking white face and a bright yellow spot near the end of its abdomen.

The larger Lilypad Clubtail, a beautiful green, black, and yellow dragonfly with stunning blue eyes, also rests on the pads. When it returns after a flight it usually has some substantial prey hanging out its mouth.

A number of birds walk on the floating leaves. Marsh Wrens, Swamp Sparrows (this name should be changed to “Marsh Sparrow”), and Redwinged Blackbirds hop across the pads with the agility of log drivers, plucking meals for their babies before the pads sink under their feet.

The long toes of chicken-sized Common Moorhens allow these mysterious birds to quickly wander across the living steppingstones.

The behaviour of small flies has been particularly captivating. Tiny bronze flies,

COLDWELL BANKER VALLEY WIDE REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE

whose names I shall not know until I return home and hit the books, are particularly common.

When the presumed females go about their business looking for food, the presumed males constantly try to mount them. After a number of rejections, some males get aggressive and fly up and down, striking their rejecters with a vengeance.

A slightly larger brown-striped fly with maroon eyes slowly ambles across the pads.

Repeatedly its massive mouthparts, looking like a stovepipe, drop down and vacuum the surface.

Time losing meaning when you experience the real world. Infinite displays of life and death, of romance and great beauty, make it impossible to be bored or lonely.

This is especially true when you explore a marsh by canoe.

ADMH honours auxiliary members SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com The Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital and Grove Nursing Home Auxiliary continues to play a vital role at each of the important community facilities.

Hospital board chair Marlene McRoberts praised the auxiliary’s efforts at the annual general meeting June 7.

“We are very blessed to have such a dedicated group of people who give so much of their time and so much of themselves,” she said.

From running the hospital gift shop and Opportunity Shop to bedside visits and sewing – auxiliary members play a vital role at the hospital and nursing home. “You make such a tremendous difference in the lives of others,” said McRoberts.

Guests ADMH CEO Eric Hanna, Arnprior Mayor Terry Gibeau and McNabBraeside Mayor Mary

Campbell also addressed the crowd and thanked the auxiliary members for their continued support.

The auxiliary added a new award this year – four local businesses were recognized for their efforts.

Boyce Funeral Home, Dairy Queen, Gallery Gift Shop and Giant Tiger were honoured.

Finances are well in order, explained treasurer Art Turnewitsch. The auxiliary, which pledged a total of $500,000, is working away at fulfilling the second half of the donation.

“We’re well on our way.

We should have, at this time next year, the second $250,000 paid off due to the hard work of the volunteers,” said Turnewitsch.

Interim vice-president Sandra Stemp led the meeting in place of president Marilyn Werry, who is ill.

Stemp joined others in congratulating Werry on a successful term and wishing her a speedy recovery.

JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com Citizens wishing to influence land use and environmental planning policies should consider running for municipal council.

That was one of the messages shared with the Carleton Landowners Association (CLA) by McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell.

Campbell was the guest speaker at the association’s annual general meeting in Stittsville May 20.

In her speech, Campbell lamented that all provincial legislation these days is written from an urban point of view.

However, she urged people to work from within the system to bring about change, advocating that they get involved in municipal politics.

“We have more potential power than

we ever had since 1850,” she said referring to municipalities.

She noted their new powers related to economic growth, environmental planning and other areas of interest.

Deborah Madill, communications director for the Ontario Landowners Association, who also spoke at the meeting, added her voice to the need for the organization to become more structured.

“We really have to be structured,” she

said. “We really have to be strong.”

She said that membership numbers have to grow and the organization has to become strong, lamenting that if this does not happen, rural landowners are going to lose everything.

“We have to go out there and kick butt,” she said.

The CLA is one of 21 member associations that make up the Ontario organization.

McNab Days 2010 just around the corner SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

The Village of Burnstown and the Township of McNabBraeside are extending an invitation to neighbours across the Ottawa Valley and beyond to their revamped summer festival – McNab Days 2010.

“It’s a time when everybody is celebrating in Burnstown,” said McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell, “And they want you to have fun.”

McNab Days is made up of three events. Affair of the Arts runs in Burnstown June 26 and 27, the Sunday Stretch is back at Red Pine Bay June 27 and Canada Day activities in Braeside are July 1.

AFFAIR OF THE ARTS Traditionally held at the end of May, Affair of the Arts has been incorporated into McNab Days.

Among the featured stops is a sneak peak at Richard Gill’s fall show Canadian Pacific Railway – a Historic Perspective, at Fog Run Studio and the unique floor art by Riverstone Gallery’s Karen Phillips-Curran, who will share sketches of her mural designs that will be part of the unveiling of an Oscar Peterson statue in conjunction with the Queen’s visit in July.

Gill’s collection was inspired by the history of the rail line.

“I got reading about it this

winter and I was just fascinated by what a story it is,” he said.

“Without it, we wouldn’t have Canada as we know it.”

Marquetry artist Stephen Haigh of Images Studio is celebrating his 40th anniversary of the age-old woodcraft and he welcomes visitors to the studio.

Bittersweet Gallery will feature a trunk show party and celebration of Italian design with the new Pial collection by Montreal designer Anne Marie Chagnon. Refreshments with a Tuscan flair will be offered on the patio from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday.

“We’re inviting people to join us for a party,” said owner Cheryl Babineau.

Valley carver Dub Juby will also be on hand during the festival to demonstrate his skills.

The Neat Coffee Shop will be abuzz with activity throughout the weekend. Neat hosts a celebration of local authors that includes readings and discussions and dinner/concert events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

A highlight of the author event is the Canadian launch of Blue Night, Blue Day by McNabBraeside’s newest author, Andrea McKay. The Madawaska River Market grounds will be host to several special events, including short scenes by the LAFT theatre group, an Affair of the Arts Singing Idol, and demonstrations and displays by a number

Among the individuals busily preparing for the upcoming McNab Day events are, from left, in front, author Irene Robillard, Neat coffee shop owner Kim McKinty and Sunday Stretch organizer Anda Kalnins, and back row, Moira Hutchison of Wellness with Moira, author James Hutchison, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell, Renfrew County Paramedic Services District manager Rick Rogers and Sunday Stretch organizer Andy Kalnins.

of area artists and authors.

EXTENDED SUNDAY STRETCH Andy Kalnins knows all too well the importance of a healthy lifestyle and he’s wasted no time getting behind the Sunday, June 27 Stretch by the River event.

Kalnins, a lead organizer of the event along with wife Anda, underwent a quadruple bypass at the Ottawa Heart Institute in February.

He encourages everyone to get out and get active and what better way to do it than alongside fellow community members?

“You can walk or you can ride your bike or bring your dog out for a walk,” said Kalnins.

With the positive response to last year’s event, the Heart Institute, Ontario Power Generation and Renfrew County Paramedics are growing the event to include two start times from Red Pine Bay in Braeside.

Rick Rogers, Renfrew County Paramedic Services District Manager, says paramedics support events like the Sunday Stretch in a big way.

“It’s all part of promoting a healthy lifestyle in the County of Renfrew,” he said. “We feel there’s a need for it.”

As part of the Sunday Stretch, the Upper Ottawa Valley Tai Chi

Club will demonstrate traditional movements, as well as sword and staff-based exercises.

The event begins at 4 p.m., with two starts at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.

CANADA DAY Braeside hosts Canada Day festivities that begin with a Poker Walk at 9 a.m. at Robbins Confectionary. Float and bike judging will take place at 10 a.m. at the fire hall before the parade begins at 10:30.

The RA Centre will be the site for a barbecue, cake and family games beginning at noon.

Camp Wanago staff will be busy on Canada Day with an event fundraiser that’s literally all wet.

Camp counsellors are gearing up to run the dunk tank and are looking for local ‘celebrities’ to take a turn in the hot seat during the festivities at

Robert Simpson Park July 1.

Arnprior District High School principal Neil Farmer and Reid Bros’ Trevor Reid are among the brave souls who have already signed up.

Past participants have enjoyed themselves, says Camp Wanago’s Kaitlin Greene. “We have some returns from last year,” she says. “Everybody had a good time.”

Participants are asked to raise pledges in advance and spectators can purchase balls at the park for $1 per throw or three throws for $2, explains Greene. The funds raised go towards the evening fireworks display.

The dunk tank will be running from noon to 4 p.m. at the park.

To get involved, call Kaitlin or Sarah at 613-623-7301.

Don’t blame the dog Who places a baby, infant, toddler child, etc. on the floor with a dog any dog unsupervised? A small child to a dog represents a pack member, a playmate, a chew toy or a possible threat.

I would never, no matter how I trusted a family pet, leave them unsupervised with a child. I would never leave two children alone unsupervised.

Who is to blame, dog, owner or both? Who is to be punished?

For one thing, the Husky was probably acting out of instinct and really cannot be blamed for its actions although horrific.

The whole situation started when the 17-year-old mother, a baby herself, left the baby unattended with two Siberian Huskies to join her mother outside for a cigarette.

I don’t like to be the one judging the actions of others, especially when I’m not there to see what happened, but the child is dead and the dog should not have to suffer the consequences of an irresponsible parent. I agree with the crown on charging the

17-year-old mother with manslaughter.

It is obvious the mother is immature and irresponsible and it was her actions that caused the death of the baby not the dog. The dog was merely the means not the motivation.

I hope that our governments see this as an unfortunate accident that could have been avoided and not take it out on the dogs or Huskies in particular.

Dogs are great companions and have for centuries provide humans with love and companionship when no one else would. This was an isolated situation that could have been avoided.

It is true what the Surgeon-General states, cigarettes can kill.

Even at your expense.

Pakenham filmmaker travels to the core of sci-fi Pakenham filmmaker Ben Hrkach has his movie featured at the Arnprior O’Brien Theatre June 7.

The film, Heart Core, is about a young man named Chris who awakens to find he doesn’t know who he is. Only a few people are left remaining on earth and the rest have been infected by a virus that has turned them into flesh

Heart Core because the wind was so strong it changed the dialogue. There had to be lots of editing done for consistent sound throughout the movie. Hrkach says that now he has had the chance to fix such a problem, it may not be as much of an obstacle in his next film.

It was a lot of work, but worth it, he said.

Hrkach says he will be working on another short humorous film very soon.

Throughout the film, Chris struggles to find out his true identity. While watching this film, Hrkach says viewers will only know as much as the main character and it keeps them wondering.

“I have been making films for the past seven years and I really enjoy it,” Hrkach said.

Extend Tire Life Improve Fuel Efficiency • Nitrogen is a dry, inert gas used to inflate airplane tires, off-road truck tires, military vehicle tires, and race car tires for improved performance and safety. During its journey through the tire wall, oxygen oxidizes the rubber compounds in the tire, causing under-inflation and deteriorated rubber.

Dry nitrogen helps the tire to run cooler and more safely.

Oxygen diffuses through nitrogen the tire much faster oxygen than nitrogen

Benefits of Nitrogen • Enhances safety • Improves fuel efficiency by up to 4% • Extends tire-life by up to 25% • Helps prevent under-inflation • Provides more consistent tire pressure • Reduces rim corrosion Improved Fuel Effieciency Maximize Road Grip & Handling Reduce Heat Buildup • An under-inflated tire operates at high deflection resulting in decreased fuel economy, sluggish handling and may result in excessive mechanical flexing and heat buildup leading to catastrophic tire failure
