ARNPRIOR’S OWN ROYAL VISITOR

Father of three killed in crash White Lake mourns loss of family man, firefighter JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

The Prince of Wales, played by Martin Boersma, steps ashore at Robert Simpson Park, just as the real prince did 150 years ago, from a birch bark canoe. The Prince and the Prior, a historical re-enactment of the 1860 visit, was a huge success, say organizers. For more coverage of the event, see Pages 12 and 13.

One event after another: fly-in breakfast next

The Arnprior area is the place to be this summer.

Following up on Canada Day events in Arnprior (see Pages 16-17) and Braeside (Page 47) and

Saturday’s Prince and the Prior re-enactment is this Sunday’s Arnprior Airport Fly-in Breakfast (Page 15).

Then it’s the Taste of the Val-

ley July 17, the Arnprior Fair Aug. 5-8 (Page 9) and the White Pine Festival Aug. 27-29. Arnprior certainly is a happening place.

A White Lake man, known for his dedication to his young family and community, was killed last Friday when his car veered off Waba Road.

Jarett Phillip Dorzek, 28, died at the scene of the crash, which occurred about 9:45 a.m.

Dorzek is the father of two young sons, Cayden and Owen, and his wife Kelsey Eades is expecting their third child.

“It’s a real tragedy,” said McNab-Braeside fire chief Rob Dodge. Dorzek joined the volunteer fire department shortly after the family moved from Arnprior to White Lake a couple of years ago.

“He’d jump in to do any task you asked him to,” said Dodge.

“He was hard-working and very community minded … he was a real family man … he was a good lad.”

Township staff said he was always cheery and friendly when dealing with them.

Dodge said the family has

asked that Dorzek be given a firefighters funeral.

A service will be held this Friday, July 9 at the Boyce Funeral Home Chapel.

Lanark Jarett Dorzek Ontario Provincial Police report they were notified Friday morning that a vehicle had left Waba Road between Waba and Pakenham in Mississippi Mills.

The route has numerous curves, especially after it pulls out of the farmland southwest of Pakenham.

It was reported that Dorzek, who was alone in the vehicle, was returning from a trip to town and was thrown from the vehicle when it went off the road.

JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com A White Lake area family lost all their belongings when a fire ripped through their home June 29.

The Cannington residence at 146 Bayview Lodge Rd. east of the White Lake village was consumed by the fast-burning fire. Damage is estimated at about $200,000.

McNab-Braeside fire chief Rob Dodge said the amount of damage makes determination of a cause difficult, but it appears the fire started in the kitchen.

He said a passer-by saw smoke coming out of the house. As he was calling 911, a women returned home to find her home ablaze.

Fortunately, no one was in the home, which was a house built around a trailer, as the fire spread quickly, he said.

All three McNab-Braeside stations attended the fire and the

Mississippi Mills crew from Pakenham was called in to help with a tanker and pumper truck.

Also on scene were hydro officials, the OPP and Ambulance Paramedics, who monitored the firefighters, especially those wearing air packs. The fire crews finally left the scene about 12:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, McNab-Braeside council agreed Tuesday to waive landfill tipping fees for the disposal of debris left by the fire.

EDITORIAL E

Let there be lights On Sunday afternoon, the Highway 17 traffic streaming through the Valley into Ottawa was backed up from Arnprior to at least Seahawk Homes at times.

With Canada Day landing on Thursday, it was in practical terms a long weekend. Traffic outgoing from Ottawa was staggered, but the return was brutal with the traffic as bad as most can remember. Adding to delays is paving on Highway 17 west of Arnprior. The clogging of Highway 17 has drivers seeking alternatives, which has led to more traffic on Burnstown and River roads.

The increase in motorists using the BurnstownCalabogie-McLean-River road route between Renfrew and Arnprior, along with more traffic heading to the race track and other attractions, is causing safety problems at the intersection at Highway 17.

McNab-Braeside Deputy Mayor Elmer Raycroft makes a good point when he suggests it’s time for the Ministry of Transportation to consider a traffic light at the intersection. At peak traffic times, drivers are waiting a considerable time to cross the highway. Hopefully it won’t happen, but there’s the danger a frustrated motorist will make a misguided attempt to cross the highway.

No doubt the MTO is reluctant to put in a light before the four-laning arrives in that area.

However, it has put in temporary lights before, the most recent example being at the Gillan Road intersection east of Renfrew. The increased traffic and the growing danger at the Calabogie RoadHighway 17 intersection certainly makes a traffic light there worth considering.

MAGIC IN THE SKY

Re-enactment big success To the editor:

Local photographer Jason Ptasinski took this photograph during the Arnprior Canada Day fireworks display July 1.

Coverage boost for town’s tourism To the editor: The Town of Arnprior is surrounded by beautiful forest and rivers and is a paradise for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, yet this gem is unknown to many people. When we are discovered, many people ask why Arnprior doesn’t profess its greatness. Arnprior’s natural beauty is an attraction for any tourist.

To boost the tourism potential of Arnprior, the Town of Arnprior in cooperation with the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce, the Arnprior Economic Development Committee, the Arnprior Downtown Business Association, and a grant from CFDC, invited Dimestore Fishermen to enjoy fishing in our community. The Town of Arnprior was the lead on the project. However, each group contributed to the cost of the Dimestore Fisherman’s visit.

Yes, the total cost was $10,000, but it is excellent value for money. The great fishing and natural beauty of our area can now be seen on a half-hour TV show that

plays on multiple TV networks throughout the summer and in reruns and is available for download on the web.

In addition, the community received promotional DVDs from Dimestore Fisherman to use to promote the area.

With over $300 million being spent by visitors in our province every year, it is increasingly important for Arnprior to actively promote what it has to offer. Increases in tourism lead to new businesses, more jobs, increased product availability, and a host of other benefits.

While some criticism has been received regarding the Town’s spending, it is important to recognize the value of not only promoting our town, but also the exceptional quality of life that community events such as the Prince and the Prior and many other events provide residents and visitors.

With reference to your article in the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide of July 1, I wish to respond to Councilman Lammert’s remarks about my recent letter to the newspaper regarding parkland in Arnprior.

First of all, I never suggested that such a project would be done “in a week.”

I know that these things take time to evolve.

I was simply suggesting that there are resources here in Arnprior that exist that will meet needs

Made to feel most welcome

To the editor:

Of the two that acknowledged my communications, one was very interested in what is in site and visited the area. The other didn’t follow up on it. The rest of council showed disinterest for whatever reason they chose.

I have taken note of this and will exercise my opinion, as democracy allows, in October.

That is my vote, and I plan on exercising it accordingly.

Thomas Charbonneau Arnprior

Marjorie O’Donovan England

Mark Nibourg, Chair Arnprior Economic Development Committee

of various segments of our population.

I have extensive experience in these matters. I know that time and effort are what is required to bring to fruition ideas and concepts.

The area I was espousing is something I have been interested in for a few years now.

I actually sent invitations to all members of council to visit the area and that I would be pleased to host such visits. I received two replies.

Councilman Lammert was not one of them.

Rosalind Spencer, Chair, Arnprior and District Museum Board

My name is Marjorie O’Donovan and I’m here from England visiting my daughter and her family.

I wrote to you when I was here four years ago and I felt the need to write to you again and brag about my lovely holiday.

I have never been to a place in my life where everyone is so kind.

I am very impressed with the level of politeness I’ve received from the town.

They have made me feel overly welcome without hesitation.

This has been the best holiday of my life because of the wonderful people in this country. I am equally impressed with the beauty in every corner of this country. Canada is the cleanest country I have visited and the breath of clean air every morning is refreshing.

The space you have is overwhelming from what I’m used to.

The people are some of the nicest I’ve ever met.

We had a lovely police escort when we got lost near Prescott.

I’ve also never had so many people open doors for me. Even in the heart of an earthquake, we had kind people offering to help.

If I was in my younger years I would honestly consider moving here.

Only one councillor showed interest in dog park To the editor:

Last Saturday Arnprior was transformed into a dazzling kaleidoscope of Algonkin first natives in traditional canoes; period costumed re-enactors and townsfolk; shiny horsedrawn carriages; gun salutes; princely speeches and much, much more.

My husband and I took great delight in dressing up in costume, as did many others. It was a hugely fun event from start to finish, a photographer’s dream, and a very positive influence in bringing visitors to the town.

I sincerely thank Janet Carlile for being the brains behind this unique event and I hope we stage others in years to come to build on its resounding success.

Steven Grail of Arnprior submitted this photograph of the Canada Day parade in about 1960 in memory of his grandfather Fred Russell. The photograph shows the Baker’s Chevrolet Auto float with the famous Mac’s Melodiers entertaining. Grail notes it was during the glory days of the Newbyrne Hotel, seen on the right. In those days Arnprior was a small town full of proud people, he said.

O Canada, indeed To the editor: I wanted to write in regards to Canada Day in Arnprior, particularly the giving event at the Giant Tiger Parking lot.

What a great display of patriotism. Here we have a few giving freely without holding back.

I’m talking about the free entertainment by two guys on guitar and their special guests (bravo), not to mention the volunteer workers and the free food.

That’s right, free.

Wow, in this day and age, hats off to all of you.

Hot dogs and drinks were purchased and donated by George Harrison and the great hamburgers were donated once again by Mr. Howie Lebrun. Thank you, Howie. They were great.

Howie pointed out that it was Scheel beef and that he had help from Cory Scheel. If this act from these great Canadians fails to say I’m proud to be from Canada, then I don’t know what does.

Great job guys and I hope to see you all again next year.

D.A. Cherney Arnprior

Cars should have been kept away from park To the editor: It was with much anticipation and interest in the Prince and the Prior re-enactment that I hoped, so much, would resemble other such events that I have observed in other locales.

I must admit that there was a certain amount of trepidation that invaded my thoughts, because of Arnprior’s history of functions going bad, being poorly attended or unsupported, as is the case, for whatever reasons, of past local events.

Things appeared to be progressing swimmingly and I followed with interest as the event approached. Thoughts of volunteers preparing for and period costumes being created for the upcoming re-enactment, put to rest much of my anxiety.

I recently came across a Chronicle from 1939, regarding the Prince’s visit in 1860 and an accompanying write-up regarding the occasion.

This timely find whet my appetite even more, with regards to what I hoped would be a defining moment in Arnprior’s evolution.

When Saturday July 3 eventually arrived, I attended the event at the park.

Initially, things appeared to get off to a good start. Although the crowd was rather sparse to

begin with, I was still hopeful that Arnprior had advanced in its progress towards the success that one observes in places such as Perth, Merrickville or even Almonte and many other equal or smaller venues.

Volunteers in period costumes mingled with the crowd, introduced themselves as whatever character they were portraying and did a wonderful job of enlightening those attending the event.

Now for the downfall.

As the party in canoes approached the shore, people were permitted to intermingle with those portraying characters actually involved with the procession. People in their Tshirts and ballcaps, cell phone cameras, cut-off jean shorts with their designer dogs in tow moved in, unrestricted, obviously un-informed about remaining out of the scene which was being depicted by these volunteers who had invested so much time and effort.

Although the police were in attendance, I saw absolutely no effort to control automobile traffic.

Why so many cars were allowed in the park is beyond me.

Each week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up for adoption.

3709 Bruno Do you have room in your home and heart for Bruno, a big, loveable, silly four-year-old, neutered Bullmastiff mix? He was a stray who was brought to the shelter.

Bruno loves tummy rubs, is fully housebroken and has good manners. He knows some basic obedience commands, but is sometimes too stubborn to obey them. He is a large, strong dog who requires a home with lots of space, preferably with a fenced yard. An owner with large breed experience would be ideal.

Bruno enjoys going for walks, but does need more leash training. He is good with some other dogs as long as they are calm and well behaved. He may be too intrusive for most cats. Bruno would be best suited with older children as he can get a little carried away when playing, he does not realize his own size. # 3708 Bodi This adorable little pooch will make a wonderful companion. Bodi is a two-year-old, neutered Lhasa Apso/Poodle mix who was found abandoned at the shelter. He was in terrible shape and had been badly neglected. After several baths and a new haircut, Bodi is now looking for his forever home. He can be quite affectionate once he knows you and is an energetic little dog who enjoys daily walks. He gets along well with small submissive female dogs but has issues with other males. He is good with cats. Bodi would be best suited in an adult-only home and will require regular grooming to prevent matting. Bodi is housebroken and doesn’t seem to be an excessive barker.

The purpose of the application is to sever part of Lot 3, Plan 49, to create a residential lot.

The property to be retained contains a multi-unit apartment dwelling. The property to be severed is vacant land.

The application for severance proposes to sever an area of approximately 496.5 square metres with a frontage of 21.3 metres on McLachlin Street and a lot depth of 21.5 metres.

The Arnprior Public Library will be closed next week (July 12 to 16) for renovations.

The library expansion project will provide greater access to the book collection and offer additional Internet stations, a second meeting space, community art space and even a small café.

“During the closure, contractors will be replacing the flooring in the foyer. This will force

the closure of our book drop as well,” said librarian Karen DeLuca.

“This is the first disruption in service since construction began at the end of April. The entire project is expected to be completed by early August,” she added.

The Arnprior-McNab-Braeside Archives in the lower level of the library will also be closed July 12 to 16.

Breast cancer survivors paddling way to health JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Chalk up another inspiring “triumph” for the Arnprior and District Breast Cancer Support Group (ADBCSG).

Thanks to backing from the group and a $28,200 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, the Prior Chest Nuts unveiled the Kahula, their new dragon boat, and paddling equipment in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the White Lake Marina June 27.

The Chest Nuts are a group of Upper Ottawa Valley breast cancer survivors that have taken up dragon boating for fun, exercise and therapy as they fight off the disease.

Several speakers, including Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski, stressed activities such as dragon boating have improved survivors’ lives both physically and mentally.

Having a dragon boat available for breast cancer survivors in the Arnprior-Renfrew-Pembroke area will enrich their lives, say supporters.

L.A. Schmidt, a dragon boat gold medalist from Dunrobin who was guest drummer for the dragon boat’s launch, pointed out a recent study indicates breast cancer survivors engag-

ing in dragon boating had a 55 per cent better chance of the disease not re-occurring than those who didn’t. “Despite what some medical experts have recommended ... upper body exercise is a good thing (for cancer survivors),” she said.

Arnprior Mayor Terry Gibeau, who announced to cheers the town will hold a dragon boat festival as part of its 150th anniversary festivities in 2012, praised the ADBCSG for helping all breast cancer sufferers who need support. “They know no barriers,” he said, noting the group assists people regardless of religion, economic status or race.

“No other group that I know has done so much to build consensus and engender support in the community as the Arnprior and District Breast Cancer Support Group,” said McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell. This latest venture is another “triumph” for the group, she said.

“I commend the members of the ADBCSG and the Prior Chest Nuts on their commitment and dedication to helping breast cancer survivors in the Ottawa Valley region,” said Yakabuski. “We are indeed fortunate to have fine people like you in our area providing support

Yakabuski also thanked the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Eastern Ontario grant committee and Renfrew County program manager Alex Wojtow, who was on hand for the ceremony, for recognizing the strength of the application. The applicants responded by thanking the local officials and the Trillium Foundation for the support, the Arnprior Lions Club for providing a barbecue and the White Lake Marina for hosting the event.

After the speeches, piper Bobby Smith led the Prior Chest Nuts crew down to the dock where the Kahula was eased into the water.

To the strains of the song Take it Away, the paddlers left for their inaugural ride around the bay. Suzanne Bodnar of the Kingston Chestmates breast cancer action dragon boat team was on hand to explain that Take it Away was written as a poem by one of its members, Deb Schutt.

Now released on a CD, it is a “celebration of breast cancer survivor dragon boaters” and has become an anthem connecting and inspiring them “all over the world,” Bodnar said.

One of Canada’s top rock bands April Wine and new motorsport and exotic animal shows are among the many offerings that will make up this year’s Arnprior Fair.

The Arnprior Agricultural Society unveiled the attractions last week for the 156th Arnprior Agricultural Fair, which runs Aug. 5 to 8.

Volunteers have been busy organizing the events, which include exciting new attractions as well as old favourites.

In the spirit of adding new excitement to the fair, directors are pleased to introduce new events, including the addition of a Thursday night line-up highlighted by the Edge Motorsports’ extreme thrill show. Local musician Gary Patrois will provide the Thursday entertainment.

For children and animal lovers, the fair will feature Bowmanville Zoo’s exotic animal shows Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

There is also going to be a bingo and entertainment by Gamut Friday, a busy day that will wrap with the April Wine concert.

New events Saturday include ‘Lunch Box – Deal or no Deal’ for the kids, Circus Delights and other family entertainment.

The returning favourites include agricultural and other exhibits, a team penning competition Saturday and Sunday, beef and dairy shows, 4H shows, and Saturday’s always popular Demolition Derby.

Other entertainers include Catalyst and Simon Clarke’s A Touch of Class.

Fair directors say they are “confident these events will be a fun part of the family entertainment at this year’s fair, and look forward to seeing everyone there.”

Advance gate and ride passes will be available soon. The whole line-up is available on the Arnprior Agricultural Society’s newly designed website at arnpriorfair.ca.

An event fit for a prince

Historical re-enactment at Robert Simpson Park a success SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

Robert Simpson Park was awash in a sea of hoop skirts and top hats July 3 for the Prince and the Prior, just as it must have been in 1860 as thousands gathered for Prince Albert Edward’s visit to Arnprior.

The re-enactment is being deemed a success, says organizer Janet Carlile, curator of the Arnprior and District Museum.

“I have received some amazing comments from some people. It was just wonderful,” said Carlile. “I think, for the most part, a good 2,000 people enjoyed themselves.”

Special guests for the event included several First Nations representatives and Martin Hill, deputy commissioner of the British High Commission.

Carlile said she was really pleased with the participation of the First Nations representatives, which was a late development in the day’s itinerary.

“It was a really welcome surprise.

They added so much to the event,” she

The prince, played by Martin Boersma, plants an oak tree on the grounds of the Galilee Centre, the former home of lumber baron Daniel McLachlin, at the Prince and the Prior re-enactment of Prince Albert Edward’s 1860 visit to Arnprior. The original visit included a tree planting, too. The oak planted 150 years ago has grown into a massive tree that stands beside Galilee.

Among those looking on is Martin Hill, deputy commissioner of the British High Commission. said.

The period luncheon held at Galilee, the one-time home of Daniel McLachlin, was a success, despite Saturday’s stifling temperatures. The menu, which included chilled smoked tongue and duck terrine, was based on the original food served to

the prince and his entourage by McLachlin and his family.

“They did a very good job with a difficult menu. Foodies should be very proud,” said Carlile.

One of the high points for Carlile was just before the crowds started to gather.

Clockwise from left: First Nations representatives lead a drum circle shortly after the prince’s arrival; Jake Prohaska of The Lumberjack Company works at log chopping during the Saturday afternoon show; and Lucie DuFresne of The Ottawa Guild of Lacemakers is one of a number of vendors and organizations with booths set up at Robert Simpson Park.

“I looked around and it was just a sea of hoop skirts and top hats,” she said. “It really was the costumes that made it.”

The costume team, led by Cathy Rodger, Joanne Delmer, Sue Hodgins and Ingrid Harris, did a fabulous job.

Carlile is extremely grateful to the many volunteers who came together in all areas to make the event a reality.

“Without them, it just wouldn’t have happened,” she said.

The day included a Bertie Bear Tea Party for young visitors, live entertainment, a lumberjack show and a host of food and product booths.

Events ran smoothly for the most part, with the usual minor snags and challenges, said Carlile. The event was a good learning experience.

“It’s a good dry run for the 150th (anniversary) of the town in two years time,” said Carlile.

While there had been speculation Queen Elizabeth might make an appearance and the invitation had been extended back in January, it wasn’t to be.

Even without an appearance, the royal buzz with the Queen visiting Canada only helped build excitement for the event, said Carlile.

British deputy commissioner Martin Hill was impressed with the event.

“It’s been wonderful, they’ve put on a wonderful show,” said Hill. “It’s a great honour to be invited to be part of this.”

The McMaster family is all dressed up in period costume.

Parents Joe and Rhonda join little Anna and Owen for a family photo before the prince arrives on Saturday morning.

Pilots hosting annual fly-in breakfast July 11 Aircraft of all shapes and sizes will be on display this Sunday, July 11 at the Arnprior Airport.

The Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) Flight 33 is holding its annual Fly-in, Drive-in, Bike-in, Walk-in breakfast from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m.

As well as a hearty breakfast for $6, people can view the visiting planes up close and chat to their pilots.

Pilots from flying clubs from all over Eastern Ontario

and even further afield visit Arnprior for the breakfast, which has been a major summer event on pilots’ agendas for at least 20 years.

Last year, more than 600 breakfasts were served to aircraft enthusiasts.

COPA official Mike Asselin points out the breakfast is run by volunteers and funds raised support the promotion of general aviation and Arnprior Airport projects.

The road construction in the area shouldn’t be a problem.

Wanted: more Stretch participants JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Undeterred by an underwhelming turnout June 27, organizers of Stretch by the River are already talking about ways to attract more people to the event next year.

“It’s unfortunate that the attendance at the Stretch did not do justice to the effort and quality that went in to it,” said McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell. “We will have to rethink this one.”

Jane Brownrigg, regional manager of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, which sponsors the event with the Renfrew County Paramedics and Ontario Power Generation, agrees. The exercise event, which started last year with the first Stretch by the River in the Braeside area, is still in its infancy, she noted. However, there are some promising signs for the event, which is spreading throughout Renfrew County.

A Golden Lake Stretch was held Wednesday with walks planned for Barry’s Bay and the Pembroke area. A proposed walk between Renfrew and Calabogie on the K&P Trail is generating a great deal of interest.

Brownrigg said Stretch by the River organizers would like to build on the overwhelming success of the winter walking program at Arnprior District High School, which had 477 registered participants when it closed for the summer.

If publicized well, a Stretch by the River soon after the walking program’s break could attract many of those participants to an outside exercise event, said Brownrigg.

Noting Rick and Bailey Rogers enchanted participants at Red Pine Bay with their music between the 4 and 7 p.m. walks, she said a free concert will also be considered as a way to bring in people.

Stretch by the River participants in the 4 p.m. walk pose at Red Pine Bay after the opening ceremony and before embarking on a warm-up and heading out on the route. Included in the group were bicyclists Ralph Bretzlaff and Dorothy Haley, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell, Paramedic Rick Rogers, members of the Upper Ottawa Valley Tai Chi Club, Ontario Power Generation’s Jennifer Gardiner and several other participants. Below, riding the course, from left, are Carmen Goold of the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion, the Heart Institute’s Anna Fuite (who led the warm-up), Renfrew County director of emergency services Mike Nolan and University of Ottawa Heart Institute regional manager Jane Brownrigg.

Renfrew County director of emergency services Michael Nolan said the Paramedics are looking forward to expanding the event across the county. It’s important to give people a safe, enjoyable place to show how important exercise is to a community’s health, he said.

Prior to walking the route, Andy Kalnins, a quintuple bypass recipient, stressed to participants at the opening ceremony how crucial it is to exercise and keep in good shape.

Campbell urged people to find their passion, whether it be pedaling, hiking or tai chi, and exercise regularly.

She thanked Nolan and Brownrigg for continuing to hold the Sunday Stretch as part of McNab Days, OPG for its sponsorship, McNab-Braeside Firefighters Association for the barbecue, and Andy and Anda Kalnins and Rick Rogers for all the organizational effort.

Care for seniors keeps them active in community The Arnprior District Memorial Hospital is partnering with Island View Retirement Suites to bring care into the community for area seniors. “This partnership is supportive of one of the hospital’s strategic plan goals and we’re proud of this important collaboration and its benefits for seniors in our region,� said ADMH CEO Eric Hanna. “A recent study by the Ontario Health Quality Council shows that the Champlain LHIN has the longest long-term care waiting list in the province and we want to support seniors in our region to help them stay in their homes as long as possible or until additional longterm care beds are built.�

The Arnprior Mobile Geriatric Day Hospital has recently moved from the Grove Nursing Home to Island View Retirement Suites on Jack Crescent.

Individuals are referred to the outpatient program, assessed and assigned to a health care team to address any ongoing issues.

When seniors come to the ADMH emergency department, they may be seen by the Geriatric

The patients are referred to the Geriatric Day Hospital for additional care by a physician. The initiative is led by Pembroke Regional Hospital and funded through the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) Aging at Home strategy. “It’s a win-win situation,� said ADMH director of patient/resident services Leah Levesque. “Island View provides an active community environment and has the physical

space for the day hospital.

The hospital is still very involved, taking care into the community to serve our senior population.�

Island View general manager Anny Fowler agrees. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to make a difference for the seniors in Arnprior and to help them be seen locally by the team.�

Patients typically visit the day hospital once a week for up to 12 weeks.

Dr. Jennifer Becker is the consulting physician who specializes in care for the elderly.

Part three of the four-part series Situation Critical explores seniors’ concerns about the care they receive in long-term care homes, and a representative example of those who experience exemplary care.

THIRD IN A FOUR-PART SERIES

By Rob O’Flanagan When a visitor pounds on the metal door of his no-frills, $550 a month apartment, George LeLievre slowly, painfully answers.

That he is able to unlock the heavy door and swing it open with enough energy to flash an inviting smile and offer a “Please, come in,” is a remarkable feat, given the number of complex medical conditions that reside, or have resided, in this frail 67-year-old man’s body, and considering the number of times the tough Hamilton senior has walked a tightrope around the mouth of his grave.

A broken back, five hernias, tuberculosis, colitis, lymphoma, at least two heart attacks and coma — LeLievre’s scar tissue draws a map of a tough life lived hard, of a body ravaged by manual labour, tobacco and drink.

One of 17 children born to Pearl LeLievre and her husband George Sr., of Kirkland Lake, LeLievre is a living, laboriously breathing anomaly: He walked out of a long-term care home and returned to life in the community.

Ministry of Health and Long Term Care statistics from 2009 show just 11.6 per cent of residents across the province were discharged to a private home.

The average stay for more than 75,000 frail elderly in 625 provincially supported nursing homes is three years.

During LeLievre’s year and a half in Victoria Gardens Long-Term Care, the sound-of-mind senior said he was witness to a situation that was as much detention centre as home, where residents were left in wheelchairs in front of televisions morning to night, and where, he said, the recently deceased were left in their beds for hours in plain view of visitors. LeLievre said he was provided a bare minimum of medical care and personal attention, despite his serious needs.

“Seven-thirty in the morning they give me my medication,” said LeLievre, sitting at the kitchen table of his sparsely furnished flat, pictures of his large family on the walls, a cigarette burning in his bony fingers.

“Then at noon, I get my medication.

And four o’clock, I would get medication.

And that’s all they done for me.”

Ranka Stipancic, administrator of Victoria Gardens, on Victoria Avenue North, defended the level of care at the home.

While she wouldn’t speak to LeLievre’s case specifically, citing privacy regulations, she said the home has been caring for residents with high-intensity medical needs for years, and that the province has a special program that helps defray

the costs of that care.

Current Ministry of Health records (from May) show Victoria Gardens performed better than the provincial average on inspections over the last four years.

Stipancic said round-the-clock registered-nursing care and staffing levels are adequate to meet the care requirements of residents.

LeLievre’s view of his time at the government-licensed home in the Landsdale neighbourhood reflects concerns expressed by patients, families and elder advocates during research for Situation Critical, Metroland’s special report on long-term care.

While Ontario’s most urgent problem is that tens of thousands of its most medically needy, fragile seniors are stuck, sometimes for years, on unbudging wait lists for a nursing-home bed, barriers to care can also arise once a senior secures a place in long-term care.

Years of understaffing and pressure from the influx of increasingly older residents with more complex medical and personal needs leave staff gasping to cope with the demands. The average age of residents at admission is 80, and about 73 per cent have Alzheimer’s or other dementia.

It can be overwhelming for front line personal support workers just to meet the daily living needs of the majority of residents, leaving those more able to fend for themselves.

A skeletal figure with sunken cheeks and large, animated eyes, LeLievre said he often had to change his own colostomy bag in the nursing home despite chronic back problems. He continues to battle cancer and heart disease.

“When I needed help to change my colostomy bag, I’d say, ‘Can I get some help to do that?’ They’d say, ‘With you in a minute.’ Then it was, ‘Oh, it’s my smoke break.’ Or it was, ‘Oh, dinner hour, can’t do it now.’ I wind up changing it myself.”

Stipancic, the home administrator, said some residents choose to change their own colostomy bags. For those who are physically and cognitively capable, “the staff will provide teaching in order for the residents to maintain their independence.” Personal support workers assist those who need help with the procedure, she added.

LeLievre said the dead were neglected during his stay. When a roommate passed away, the deceased man was left in his bed for hours.

“There’s no courtesy there to pull the drape around him,” he said. “He lay in that bed all night until maybe 11 o’clock in the morning … That’s not the only one I seen, I seen many of them go that way.”

Stipancic said when a resident dies in a long-term care facility, a physician is notified to come to pronounce death.

Every tenth death is investigated by a coroner.

“We can’t move the body until either the physician or the coroner have been here,” she explained, adding the body is

always screened with privacy curtains as part of postdeath care.

An end stage of the health care system, long-term care is generally acknowledged as the place where those who need 24-hour personal and medical assistance go to live out their last days. Despite the large number of people residing in homes, those who study long-term care say it remains largely an out-of-sight, out-of-mind sector.

“I think long-term care has been marginalized from mainstream health care,” said Kevin Brazil, a professor in McMaster University’s department of clinical epidemiology and biostatistics, an expert in long-term care and care of the dying. “It has been sort of bracketed and pushed aside.”

Implicit ageism and a “sanitized culture” that distances itself from the realities of death and dying contribute to the marginalization, he added.

A Residents Bill of Rights (included in the health ministry’s Long-Term Care Act) has long been in place to protect those living in long-term care settings, and a new and expanded version of the bill, containing more than 25 rights, will be in place this summer. But those rights — the right to be properly clothed and groomed, to privacy, to participate fully in care decisions, to engage in activities good for mind and body, and provision for family and residents’ councils through which complaints can be made — are widely overlooked and often violated in homes across Ontario, advocates for the elderly say.

Homes post the Bill of Rights for residents and families to see, but there is pervasive fear of repercussions for complaining.

“There are a few things about long-term care that are barriers to the enforcement of any standards or any rights,” said Natalie Mehra, director, Ontario Health Coalition, “and one is that residents are afraid of repercussions for complaining, the same as their families.”

First-hand accounts of the conditions and quality of nursing homes cover the exemplary as well as the questionable. A 2009 survey by the Ontario Health Quality Council found 60 per cent of families rated the care of their loved ones in nursing homes as good.

Wendy Renault, whose mother, Janet, 86, lives in Willowgrove Long Term Care Residence in Ancaster (operated by Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT), is a representative case.

She said her mother trusts the workers, smiles at them, hugs them and holds their hands.

“I figure that’s the best testament to the care she gets here,” the daughter said.

Chartwell officials spoke of the absolute need for empathy and compassion in long-term care.

“Most of the people that work in this field are here because this is really what they want to do,” said Linda Schertzberg, Willowgrove administrator. “You have to be a strong individual, because we deal with death. They are here for eight hours a day with intense one-on-one with the people they are working with. So they become close to the residents.”

Administrators in long-term care homes plead lack of funding and staff as a root cause in cases when care is less than optimal.

“I don’t want to cry about money,” said Pat Morden, chief executive coach of Hamilton’s Shalom Village, a progressive home with a good reputation. “But it is pathetic what we get, and it’s not enough to do what you (the public) want us to do and what we want to do.”

The Ontario government is currently overseeing a review of funding, but there is no indication yet of what steps — if any — come next.

POPPY BURSARY WINNERS

Arnprior Legion Poppy Campaign chairman Mel Porter attended the St. Joseph’s High School graduation June 24 to present poppy fund bursaries to Arnprior area students Madison Popkie (university) and, at right, Karla Belton (college).

Arnprior student chosen to be valedictorian at St. Joseph’s STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com Arnprior student Nigel Grinstead gave an entertaining address as valedictorian of the Grade 12 class at the St. Joseph’s Catholic High School graduation ceremony June 24.

The 17-year-old Grinstead spoke for the 80-some students at the ceremony that included an hour-long Mass and the presentation of more than 70 bursaries and awards.

If Grinstead’s valedictorian address is any indication, he will do well in his comedy studies at Humber College this fall, as he had the crowd of several hundred listening and laughing at his innovative address.

“As valedictorian, it is my duty to show wisdom beyond my age and offer profound, thoughtprovoking insight to the present life as well as the near future.

“Unfortunately, I do not have the capacity to provide this kind of insight, so I went about writing my speech in a way that would cater to this.

“When I see the word ‘wise’ I think of a few things: Gandhi, Buddha, senior citizens and fortune cookies. At the time I was rather hungry, so the more viable option seemed to be, without a doubt, the fortune cookies.”

After a trip to the local Chinese restaurant, Grinstead had a bulk order and inspiration for five pieces of advice for his fellow students.

His opening fortunate-cookie based advice was: Many receive advice, but only the wise profit from it.

As Grinstead pointed out, it takes a smart person to know everything, but a brilliant person to keep learning after they think they know everything.

“For our whole high school career we’ve been taking advice from those we look up to,” he advised.

“Don’t take this for granted, acknowledge the fact that everyone is always learning. Don’t pass up the opportunity to use someone else’s experience for your own gain; we’ll all grow to better people that way.”

Other advice included: 1) All your hard work is going to pay off; 2) Aim high, the sky’s the limit; and 3) Enjoying means sharing.

Regarding the latter, he said “accomplishments mean nothing if you don’t have people to share them with and celebrate.

This (graduation) is a huge moment of success for you as an individual, and the feeling is great. Be sure to relish it, and allow others to take part in your happiness both now and in the future.”

Lastly, he advised: Don’t be bitter, deceptive or petty.

“To be bitter or deceptive,” he explained, “is only going to limit you in the long run by burning bridges that may not have been strong to begin with.”

Before thanking his parents, teaching staff and fellow students, he also noted the importance of CGEs, or Catholic graduate expectations, and how they have helped “us become mature and kind-hearted people.”

The CGEs, as part of the Catholic school system, “addresses our need to learn both logically and religiously. It also teaches us important life skills and how to make moral decisions to support the common good and not just our own personal gain.”

students graduate The Arnprior Adult High School held its graduation ceremonies June 23 with more than 30 students graduating from both the continuing education and PAL sites.

For those in attendance, it was very proud moment for them as they walked up on stage to receive their high school diplomas Loran Young, the principal of the Adult High School and Continuing Education program, talked to the graduates about what it took for them to succeed.

“We are very proud of all of you,” he said. “You committed yourselves to a hard task and delivered. What you have accomplished will open doors for you.”

He thanked Gail Flick, Sue Bruemmer, Darcy O’Brien and Taryn Gallagher for all their hard work and dedication to the students.

Roger Clarke, the director of education for the Renfrew County District School Board, brought greetings from the board.

He was pleased he had the opportunity to share in the celebration of this important milestone in the graduates’ life. “So many lives have been changed because of your commitment,” he said. “Congratulations on your hard work and dedication.”

A number of individual awards were handed out during the ceremony. The recipients were Erin Beauregard – Principal’s Award; Amanda Barr – Social Science Award; Michelle Heise and Jean Wheeler - English

High school student shares Dominican experiences A former student returned to John XXIII June 25 to testify that their contributions to a school in the Dominican Republic are making a difference.

Audrey McMann, now a Grade 11 student at St. Joseph’s High School, shared

her experiences in the Caribbean county.

She was part of a school trip to the Dominican in February, when students painted home and replaced windows in schools among other jobs. The trip was inspiring and worthwhile, she said.

Ontario Shake N’ Tile, Ontario’s most trusted metal roofing specialist is looking for homes in your area that need a new roof and never want to roof again.

We offer the beauty and elegance of a natural wood shake roof with the durability and unmatched performance of metal. It comes with a 50 year, transferable Warranty against: wind, rain, snow, moss, hail and tree resin.

This beautiful roof is being introduced to your local market now.

John XXIII students continued a tradition started 24 years ago by presenting $1,435.79 to the Grey Sisters to help with funding improvements at a rural school in Antonci in the Dominican Republic. Taking part in the presentation at a year-end assembly, from left, are Sister Catherine O’Shea, Sister Susan Daly, Grade 2 student Adam McCuaig, Grade 6 student Ben Riopelle and (behind) former John XXIII student Audrey McMann, who is now attending St. Joseph’s High School. Sister Daly told students that the money raised annually by the school in Arnprior has provided a number of valuable additions that Canadians tend to take for granted such as library books and a well so students don’t have to walk a long way for water. Their Dominican counterparts are very appreciative of the John XXIII students’ generosity, she added. Sister O’Shea said that the Dominican students are anxious to learn as it is a “passport for a better life.” The Sisters, who have both frequently visited the Dominican and Haiti, also thanked the students for contributing to Haitian earthquake relief. They noted that its earthquake was 100 times strong “than ours,” but students have resumed school, albeit in tents. Photo by John Carter

Teachers head back to school in Arnprior for French course Elementary public school teachers are going to summer school this week in Arnprior to upgrade professional skills in the teaching of French.

Like most jobs, the teaching of core French can be more effective if it is supported by the right resources.

Exploring a variety of strategies and hands-on activities that will motivate Grade 4 to 8 students, organize reading sessions and help students make sense of what they are reading

and thinking is the focus of a French as a Second Language course for elementary teachers that is being held at A.J. Charbonneau elementary school in Arnprior this week (July 7 to 9).

Participants are the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario’s (ETFO) Summer Academy. They are among the more than 2,000 teachers registered to take part in about 70 curriculum courses across the province in July and August.

ETFO’s eighth annual Summer Academy is funded in part by the Ontario Ministry of Education. The three-day course in Arnprior is one of a broad range of professional development opportunities offered by ETFO in partnership with its locals and many district school boards across Ontario.

Courses are planned and taught by ETFO members and designed to provide teachers with practical skills and resources to use in their classrooms.

Students and staff gave McNab Public School principal Jodie Barrett a fond good-bye June 25. Above, Grade 8 student Traleena Rouleau presents Barrett with a gift from students and staff. Below, Barrett shows off the gift, a sculpture of Burnstown by Richard Gill. The farewell came during the school’s talent day and included a musical tribute, paddlers skit, slide show and a touching good-bye song by the guest of honour. Barrett, who has been principal for the past five years, noted she will still be a parent at the school. She has been appointed as the Renfrew District public school board’s principal for special services. She is being replaced by Central principal Bronywn Scott. Photos by John Carter

SAFETY FIRST Tonkin spoke again about the need for people to stay clear and stay safe around OPG sites, pointing attendees to safety brochures and OPG’s website for more information, adding to be sure to pass the word along to their families and friends.

“Operators can’t see you, so we don’t want you there,” he said.

One Burnstown resident wondered why, because at some stations, like Stewartville, you can clearly see everything and would notice if someone was in possible lines of danger.

With water levels lower than usual, a large turnout was expected last month at a Lower Ottawa/Madawaska stakeholders meeting hosted by Ontario Power Generation.

Yet only a handful of local residents gathered at the June 8 session aimed at maintaining public trust and keeping the lines of communication open between the public and OPG. The manager of operations at the Chenaux Control Centre, Chris Tonkin, says the small crowd at the presentation is a good indication that OPG is doing its job of getting important information – including safety messages – out to the public through other mediums.

During the opening of the meeting, he informed everyone that OPG had received approval of a Madawaska Water Management Review from the Ministry of Natural Resources. A core group of individuals had formed an advisory committee and worked on the plan, which was approved in April.

Donald Ferko, water management engineer, then took the floor to speak about the water levels for a major portion of the presentation. OPG utilizes special instrumentation to go out and regularly measure snow depths each winter in more than 100 check points. However, even with heavy snowfalls and large accumulations, it doesn’t mean there will be abnormally high levels along the water systems come spring.

“Snow is an important factor, but doesn’t necessarily affect how much will melt and end up in the rivers,” he said.

“Leigh” Tw

He used data collected in 2001 as a good illustration where some areas saw almost five times the average measured snowfall. “This would be an indicator that there would be a high potential for flooding.” But little rain fell in late April and May and the snow ended up evaporating instead of melting and running off into the rivers, lakes and streams.

This year has been almost the opposite. Snow levels measured in most areas were either on average or just a little lower than average and then there was an exceptionally dry spring with fluctuating temperatures, which caused what snow we had disappeared into the atmosphere.

“In fact, we’re approaching historic lows for the May-June time period,” said Ferko. “Snow certainly plays a factor but snow does not paint a whole picture of what’s going to happen in the spring.” It’s all depending on the sequence of events that happen following the winter, Ferko summed up.

July 8 2010 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE

Free fishing weekend extended The provincial government has expanded its Family Fishing time frame from a weekend to more than a week this year.

Ontarians can fish licence-free for nine straight days July 3 to 11. They can fish on their own or at a local derby or festival. The most prominent local event is the fifth annual Ryan Baskin Fishing Derby headquartered at the Arnprior Fairgrounds July 10. The Calabogie Fish and Game Club fishing derby, headquartered at Barnet Cottage on Calabogie Lake, will also be held July 10.

“We welcome the expansion of Ontario’s licence-free family fishing weekend to nine full days, including two weekends,”

says Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters executive director Mike Reader.

“We really hope that families will take advantage of the opportunity, in conjunction with National Fishing Week, to get out on one of Ontario’s thousands of spectacular lakes and rivers and experience the joy of fishing together.”

All Canadian residents may fish licence-free in Ontario waters during Family Fishing Week, but non-residents require licences. Participants have to follow conservation licence limits.

The province says about 1.3 million anglers fish in Ontario each year for the province’s 160 species of freshwater fish, spending $2.5 billion in the process.

Council bans fishing from Reid Bridge on Clayton Road DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Mississippi Mills town council has banned fishing from the Reid Bridge along Clayton Road.

“I think that a sad day has come when we prohibit people from fishing off of a bridge in a rural area,” Coun. Jane Torrance said June 28. She asked if a sign could instead be erected at the bridge warning motorists to be aware of people fishing off the bridge.

“It seems to me that

we get one complaint and we’re passing a bylaw,” she added.

Coun. Val Wilkinson agreed with Torrance, to a point. She indicated that the Reid Bridge is narrow and the speed limit along that portion of Clayton Road is 80 km/h. “I’d like to see the speeds on our rural roads reduced to 60 km/h,” Wilkinson said.

“I share the sentiment (with Torrance). I just feel that the road is too fast.”

Coun.

Alex Gillis stressed the ban was necessary from a liability per-

spective. “From an insurance point of view, I’m not sure where we are,” said Gillis.

Coun. John Edwards noted it was still possible for people to fish underneath bridges and beside them as well. “Some of the bridges are on rural roads with very low (traffic) volume,” said Edwards, Coun. Garry Dalgity pointed out there is another safety issue when it came to people fishing off bridges, that some people were hooking cars instead of fish when they cast off.

Summer on the road for local rugby player SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

Arnprior District High School graduate Amy Dean has a busy and exciting summer ahead.

Dean, 19, was chosen to be part of the U19 Ontario rugby team, and is playing games across Ontario with the squad.

It’s the first time an ADHS player has reached such a high level, says coach Glenn Wallace.

Dean, who has played rugby at ADHS for the past five years, is quite active, counting soccer, snowboarding and canoeing as hobbies.

As a Grade 9 student, she decided to try rugby because it looked like fun and she liked the contact aspect of the sport.

“It was really new to me and I thought it was a lot of fun,” she says. “There’s always something you have to work on.”

She enjoyed the bonding experience with her teammates at ADHS. “You just get very close with everyone that you play with,” she says.

She says she was quite shocked when asked to join the U19 team.

ADHS played with teams from Ottawa, one of which was Mother Theresa, coached

by Denis Blondin. After one game, Blondin spoke to the Arnprior girls about the tryouts and Dean joined a few teammates at the Ottawa event.

She was then invited back to another tryout in Oakville. Next came the email inviting her to be a part of the team “I was kind of shocked by that email,” says Dean.

In terms of her favourite position to play, Dean is known for her versatility.

“I’ve played a lot of them but right now I’m inside centre,” she says.

The commitment to the U19 team includes practices every Sunday and games all over Ontario.

The travel is extensive but since the coach and about five other players are from

Glengarry Bhoys headline Almonte Celtfest The Ottawa Valley region has a great legacy of music, song, and dance traditions and is a rich heartland of Irish traditional music-making.

This great music legacy will be showcased at the 14th annual Almonte Celtfest this weekend (July 9-11) in Gemmill Park.

Headlining Celtfest 2010 are The Glengarry Bhoys, recipients of the coveted 2009 Celtic Instrumental Songwriters Award.

The four ‘Bhoys’ from Glengarry County play a blend of original pop songs and fiery dance tunes of Irish, Scottish and French-Canadian origin.

On Friday evening. July 9, Almonte’s pubs will feature “sessions” as they do in Ireland and Scotland when skilled musicians drop in with their instruments and create a musical atmosphere rich in energy and tradition.

On Saturday in the Old Town Hall, Celtfest, partnered with the Ottawa Valley School of Traditional Music and Mississippi Mills Music Works will offer a variety of Celtic music workshops for fiddle, piano accompaniment, bodhran, whistle and Irish flute and step-dance.

Celtfest Saturday night’s concert in Gemmill Park will kick off at 6:30 p.m. and features performances from the Monday Night Fiddlers, The Skirmish, Herringbone and the Kyle Felhaver Band.

On Sunday, the day starts with the Fiddle Mass at Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church at 10. a.m. The main Celtfest event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Performers include The Barley Shakers, The Ryans, Lyon Street Celtic Band, Elly Squared, Matt Pepin and Paul Hawtin, Heather Dale Band and The Glengarry Bhoys.

Animals in the heat Personally, I do not like heat. In fact, if it was not for the rich assortment of dragonflies and butterflies that enliven summer walks, I would prefer to skip this season completely.

However, we do have ways of escaping the heat.

Fans and air conditioners have been working overtime these past few days.

Many of you enjoyed waterside retreats and I spent as much time as I could in my canoe perusing cattail marshes.

Although our wild neighbours have fewer options when it comes to extreme temperatures, they also employ some ingenious ways of staying cool when the mercury soars.

Some of their adaptations are really not that different than the ones used by us.

Many animals keep much of their activity confined to the early and late hours of the day when the sun’s effect is less direct, and seek shade during the rest of the time.

A few create their own

shade. Dragonflies raise their abdomens high in the air and arch them over their backs to cast shade on their head. Thus their bodies serve as living umbrellas.

On hot sand you generally walk (or run!) on tiptoes, keeping most of your tender foot from contacting the hot surface. Tiger Beetles, those day-active hunters that chase down prey on scorching sand, also step up when the sand gets hot.

Their elevated bodies allow more air to flow between them and the sand.

Because they look as if they are standing on stilts, this behaviour is known as “stilting.”

Birds stay cool by staying in the shade.

They also compress their feathers against their body so that heat escapes more readily.

Their wings are spread open to expose more undersurface to the air.

Smaller birds pant to pump more air through their large lungs and air sacs to remove body heat; larger birds such as owls pump more air in and out.

The pumping action

of their throat is known as “gular fluttering.” If water is available, birds take baths. Ducks must seldom get hot!

This might suggest that animals living in the water do not need adaptations for staying cool but many actually have them.

Any body part that has a small volume but large surface is ideal for losing heat so when animals need to cool down they pump more blood into that part.

Beavers own tails that are tailor-made for this function.

Those pancake-flat structures can lose heat at any time of year, so in winter the blood flow to the tail is drastically reduced.

A few animals even use fans. Honeybees work collectively and use their wings as fans, pushing warm air out of the hive and cooler air in.

The outflow of air is why the smell of honey is so strong near hives in summer!

When it comes to summer heat, Nature owns the copyright to fans, umbrellas, and air conditioners!

Somatics class to help youth programs Paula Vibert of Novagaia Wellness and Susan McEwen of Hollow Tree Yoga are inviting the public to a freewill donation Somatics class Saturday, July 10.

The proceeds from the class at Hollow Tree from 9:30 to 11 a.m. will be given to the Nick Smith Centre to support its after-school youth programs.

“We have an active after-school program that is conducted from October to May in the schools,” said Kayla Reinert, the town’s parks and recreation youth co-ordinator.

“This program is free to all participants and includes one hour of non-competitive, non-traditional active games at each school in Arnprior,” she explained.

“The money from your program will go towards equipment and supplies.”

What are Somatics exercises?

If you have been experiencing chronic pain, or loss of mobility there is hope through Somatics, “the missing link in health care,” said Vibert.

“Somatics exercises offer an easy path to well-being,” she added.

“Whether you’re experiencing back, shoulder or neck pain, your body is out of alignment, or your mobility is restricted in some way, you can benefit from Somatic movements.

“Easy to learn and perform, they help us to unlearn the habit of keeping the muscles tight, allowing us to regain motor control of movement, flexibility and health,” she continued.

“They are recommended for anyone who desires to move more freely, with ease and to feel more relaxed. These exercises are ideal for people of any age, including seniors.”

Vibert said they are also an excellent complement for anyone who’s practicing yoga or in a fitness program.

For more information or to register, contact Vibert at 613-623-6610, e-mail paula@paulavibert.com or visit www. novagaia.ca.

Culvert work awarded

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com Despite a distinctive cultural history, the Ottawa River continues to hold the curious distinction of not being a Canadian heritage river.

In June 2009, the Canadian heritage designation seemed a breath away, following the signature by then Ontario Minister of Natural Resources Donna Cansfield and the signed nomination papers for heritage status by federal Environment Minister John Baird.

These signatures had followed the April 17, 2009 approval of the nomination by the Canadian Heritage Rivers System board.

All that was needed to complete the deal was the signature of new Environment Minister Jim Prentice during his scheduled appearance at a Parks Canada conference in June 2009.

However, Prentice didn’t appear, and the deal remains incomplete, without Prentice’s signature.

About eight years into the local project, Renfrew County’s most famous river remains without the Canadian heritage status, and without a trademark many Renfrew County councillors believe would boost regional tourism tremendously In a carefully-worded presentation June 29 to Renfrew County council, Ottawa River heritage committee members Fred Blackstein and chairman Larry Graham came to ask for council’s support and to offer solutions and suggestions.

Without using the name of local Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant, both committee members suggested the designation won’t happen without her support.

It is also known this project was the brainchild of former, local Liberal MP Len Hopkins.

Last year, Gallant expressed her concerns about how the designation would negatively impact people’s

Ottawa River heritage committee members Fred Blackstein and Larry Graham address Renfrew County council about the goal of achieving Canadian heritage river designation. property. Not so, insist members of county council, county staff and the Ottawa River heritage committee.

Committee members say much time in the past years of pursuing the designation have been taken up refuting serious misconceptions about heritage designations.

Owners on the Ottawa River would lose certain property rights, it was said. False, says chair Graham.

Heritage status would result in reduced speed limits on the river, it was said. False, says Graham.

In a large eight-page, full-colour publication entitled A Guide to Establishing a Canadian Heritage River, the Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) talks about honouring and respecting its “leading rivers by distinguishing them as Canadian Heritage Rivers – places of great pride and importance to Canada.

In the same document, CHRS says any such designations hold “no legislative authority.”

Several of the 30-some rivers hold-

Renfrew County Council awarded several tenders last week, including one for a culvert on Lochwinnoch Road in McNab-Braeside.

That contract was won by Ottawa’s Goldie Mohr Ltd., which bid $153,688, or half of the next lowest bid.

The work will be done on the McGregor culvert, known as structure No. C125.

The Calabogie patrol yard contract for winter sand went to Thomas Cavanagh Construction, with a bid of $5,966 beating out Douglas firm, R.J. Selle Sand & Gravel by nearly $1,000.

Three other companies had considerably higher bids.

B.R. Fulton Construction of the Renfrew area was awarded the contract for hot-mix paving and related work on a 1.8-kilometre stretch of Brudenell Road in Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Township.

B.R.Fulton also won the bid to supply and place granular ‘A’ mix on County Road 71.

Smaller contracts have been awards to a pair of Douglas firms for supplying winter sand.

PRESIDENT NOLAN Mike Nolan, director of the County of Renfrew Paramedic Service, has been elected president of the Emergency Medical Service Chiefs of Canada.

In June, Nolan accepted the nomination to the executive committee of EMSCC. Nolan also heads up the same paramedic service that sent one district manager and two double-paramedic crews to assist with the G-8 Summit’s emergency response June 12 to 27 in Huntsville.

MP support needed: river heritage committee members

ing this prestigious status include the Rideau Waterway, and the Humber, Mattawa, French, Athabasca, Arctic Red, Thames, North-Saskatchewan, Upper Restigouche and Yukon rivers.

Speaking of the Ottawa River that famous explorer Samuel de Champlain travelled about 400 years ago, committee chair Graham said: “Arguably it is the greatest river in this county, if not in this country.”

Whatever it takes, Graham and Blackstein say they would like to see the river heritage designation occur while the committee’s honorary chair, local aboriginal elder William Commanda is still alive.

He was 90 when the project for river status began. As Graham said, “We’d like to see it completed in his lifetime.”

The real hold-up, appears to be the lack of Gallant’s sign-off.

“It’s within her scope to make this happen,” said Graham.

The same day (June 29) county council unanimously approved a resolution, to be sent to Prime Minister Stephen Harper with a brief covering letter, asking for immediate approval of the designation documents, “thereby allowing the Ottawa river to be recognized as the great and historic river that is truly is.”

That resolution was moved by RayeAnne Briscoe of Admaston-Bromley and seconded by Bob Sweet of Petawawa.

The same resolution says the river has “represented a vital waterway for our first Nations communities and … played an integral role in many of the key events constituting Canada’s history.”

The resolution also points out that a 100-person volunteer committee has worked on this project for thousands of hours and done widespread consultation with numerous stakeholders.

This is the second such letter written to the prime minister.

Another was written in 2008 that apparently resulted in Minister Baird signing the nomination papers for the Ottawa River’s Canadian heritage status.

Giant hogweed rears its ugly head in region First and foremost is its size – it truly is giant. Stems are often one to three inches in diameter, and marked with dark purplish blotches or spots and covered with sturdy bristles. The flowers form a flat-topped, umbrella-shaped head up to two and a half feet wide.

giant hogweed is to cut off the flowering heads, and seal them inside plastic bags and leave them in the sun (at least one week) until all seeds are killed.

The County of Renfrew’s news releases stresses it is essential to “wear protective clothing and eye protection when working around giant hogweed. Skin contact with soiled clothing or tools should be avoided.”

Needham’s Farm Fresh Produce is one of several vendors at the Elgin Street Market, which is set up in downtown Arnprior each Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Carolyn Nanne sells strawberries from the Needham’s booth. The Needhams grow a large variety of produce on their farm between Pakenham and Arnprior on County Road 29. Photo by Shannon O’Brien

Stay clear from hydro dams, public warned Continued from Page 32 Tonkin responded that the water flow is all remotely controlled offsite, at Chenaux, so even if staff were to see you in Stewartville, it wouldn’t help because they’re not controlling the dams.

“So we need you to stay clear, and obey all warning signs.”

The same caution needs to be taken in winter with ice on the rivers. “Just

because there’s snow, doesn’t mean it’s safe.” After the presentation, Tonkin said that despite the drier than normal spring and lack of precipitation, water levels along the lower Ottawa and Madawaska Rivers are operating within the usual range, even though he is mandated by OPG to run a certain percentage of water each day. “We’re always running at normal levels.”

RED AND WHITE PRIDE IN BRAESIDE

47 July 8 2010 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE

Attendance and participation was up for this year’s Canada Day parade in Braeside. From left, waving the red and white are roller-blader Madison Toner, Blakelee and Laughlin Cavanagh on their family’s float, and Katie Scheel on her tricycle. Below, left Wayne Bertrand and the famous Braeside ride-on lawn mower riders warm up their machines in the parade before racing later in the day. Below right, sisters Brye, Farrah and Ava Enright are all dressed up for the parade. McNab-Braeside recreation committee chairman Brad McIlquham thanked interim recreation director Ryan Marcellus and the McNabBraeside firefighters for their hard work in making the festivities a success. Photos by John Carter

An enthusiastic group was in a festive mood, left, on Courtney Smith’s C.N.R. Repair & Service float in the Braeside Canada Day parade. Waving the Canadian flags are Teagan Smith, Hogan Mosley, Brodie Smith, Courtney Mosley, Mary McCuaig and Camryn Moseley.

Right, , there’s no question where Jacob, left, and Nicholas White’s allegiance lies.

July 8 2010 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE

Hart Stores celebrates its 50th anniversary this year with a kiddies colouring contest and a fundraiser for children.

As a wholly Canadian owned chain of value oriented department stores across central and eastern Canada, including Arnprior, the Hart organization is proud to have chosen to support the Foundation of Stars with its fundraiser. The foundation is a benevolent organization that has over the years distributed $60 million to help fund medical discoveries that will revolutionize medical treatments for children.

If you’ve visited your Arnprior Hart store lately, you will have noticed their display of ‘adorable’ teddy bears, appropriately named ‘Harthur’. Hart will donate $5 for each teddy bear sold in their 90 stores in Central and Eastern Canada. The proceeds will be donated to Foundation of Stars to help fund pediatric research “and help save the lives of our most valuable asset, our children.”

In addition to the teddy bear promotion and a teddy bear colouring contest for children, each store is holding a special contest. As prizes, Hart will be awarding a $500 gift card to a lucky winner in each of its stores and as a grand prize, someone will win a $5,000 gift card randomly chosen from entry ballots received throughout the chain.

Anybody can enter and no purchase is necessary. Drawing for the $500 gift card will be held Saturday, Aug. 7 at 4:05 p.m. at the Arnprior Hart store. All other entry ballots will then be sent to the Hart head office in Laval for the drawing of the $5,000 gift card on Aug. 27 at 4 p.m.
