Opposition parties expected to defeat budget

EARTH HOUR Spring arrived at 7:21 p.m. Sunday, although the spring-like weather has yet to show up in these parts. On the heels of the start of spring comes the Earth Hour celebration, when citizens are asked to see how much power they can conserve in one hour. People are asked to turned their lights down and enjoy oldfashioned get-togethers in the twilight between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. this Saturday, March 26. The Galilee Centre in Arnprior is holding a marshmallow roast to mark the event, with the public welcome to attend.

A tumultuous week in federal politics culminates tomorrow (Friday) when opposition parties are expected to table a nonconﬁdence vote against Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. It appears the 2011 federal budget, presented in the House of Commons Tuesday, will not be supported by the NDP. Earlier, the Liberals and Bloc Quebecois parties had said they would be voting against the budget. If the budget is defeated, Canadians will be voting in a spring election that will cost them about $300 million, the same amount as the NDP were asking the Tories put in the budget for low-income seniors.

REMEMBERING KAY The family of Kay Lyman, who died tragically in a May 2010 car accident, is honouring her memory with two scholarships for ADHS students. There are two fundraisers planned to fund the bursaries. 3

Last-minute efforts are being made this week to keep the Braeside post ofﬁce operating. McNab-Braeside council held a special meeting Tuesday to give staff the authority to negotiate a lease to let Canada Post temporarily use the old municipal building in the village. See ‘POST’ Page 5

Despite the likelihood the budget will be put on hold for a spring election campaign, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant was optimistic its provisions will be enacted eventually. “This year’s budget is a lowtax plan for jobs and growth,” she said. “It strikes the right balance in protecting Canada from the worst of the global economic recession while at the same time supporting families and communities.” Gallant said the budget has a number of measures that will beneﬁt the riding, citing a $405 million allotment for AECL and the re-afﬁrmation that $2 billion in gas tax funds annually will go to municipal infrastructure See ‘FEDERAL’ Page 4

Arnprior hooks top ﬁshing town nomination Arnprior has been nominated as the best place to ﬁsh in Canada by a television network. The 2011 World Fishing Network (WFN) Ultimate Fishing Town contest is a nationwide contest awarding a $25,000 prize and more to the winning community. Residents can support the nomination and help reel in a win by adding photos, videos

and essays about Arnprior at www.wfnfishingtown.com. “This area is blessed with some of the best fishing for different species that you could ask for,” said renowned muskie fisherman Bill Craig, upon hearing his hometown of Arnprior was up for the award. “When you look at the number of people who fish, and how they don’t abuse what they’ve

got – a lot throw back – it’s really great.” In addition to national recognition of being named the 2011 WFN Ultimate Fishing Town and a $25,000 donation to be used towards ﬁshing-related cause(s), the town will also receive a tourism boost when it is featured on WFN. See ‘VOTE’ Page 5

“

She was a bright child and she knew what she wanted. • Samantha Lyman

”

mit 250-word essays on two topics – the importance of family or an opinion of cell phone use. Both topics are near and dear to the Lyman family and because Kay was such a good student and a hard worker in school a scholarship was a natural choice for a fundraiser. When the accident occurred, there were early indications Kay may have been using her cell phone. Her mother says she had sent an update to Facebook that came through just before the collision and she had also sent a text around that same time that failed to transmit. “Did it (texting) have an impact? I don’t know. I honestly don’t know,” says Samantha. What she does know is that in the last three weeks of Kay’s life, the teen had experienced plenty of chaos that could have provided distractions. Her Visa card was stolen and used and then just a couple weeks later her wallet was lost or stolen. Then on the day Kay died, the wallet was found in the mailbox of the family’s Arnprior home, minus the $500 that had been inside. In tracing the possible chain of events, Samantha wishes the thieves would have thought more of the consequences of their actions. “I’m sure that was on her mind,” says Samantha. She stressed the importance of obeying the law and staying away from using cell phones while driving – an offence committed not only by young drivers. “It’s not just kids. They’re only doing what they see,” says Samantha. “It’s parents, professionals - right across the board.” She would even like to see phone companies could provide Bluetooth or hands-free access with ev-

KAY LYMAN ery phone. Family and friends were a big part of Kay’s life – the reason the topic of family was chosen for the essays. “If her friends needed her, she was there,” says Samantha. “Family and friends were so important.” Kay’s death dealt a huge blow to her parents and brothers Cody and Ross and the family continues to deal with the loss. “It was traumatic and unexpected,” says Samantha. “We haven’t really coped, we’re getting along now.” Paying tribute to Kay and helping students like her is keeping her mother busy as the anniversary approaches. “Right from the get-go when Kay passed, I wanted to do something so people don’t forget who she is and her death was not in vain,” says Samantha. Though she liked the idea, getting started was a bit tough. “My aunt said to me ‘Kay’s one-year anniversary is going to be tough for all of us. Let’s do something to remember her in a positive way so that her legacy lives on’,” says Samantha. “The goal is to raise $3,000 to be shared in two scholarships,” she says. If there’s any money left over, Samantha says would love to be able to treat every graduate to a drink and a movie or recognize them in some way. EVENT INFO A bake sale beneﬁtting the Kay Lyman scholarships will be held Saturday, April 9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Arnprior Mall. A spaghetti dinner (Kay’s favourite) and dance will be held May 14 at the Arnprior Legion. Dinner is at 5:30 p.m. with the dance beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door and at the April 9 bake sale.

The upcoming one-year anniversary of Kay Lyman’s death is going to be really tough for her family, but they’ve gotten together and come up with a way to bring something positive from the terrible crash that claimed her life. Katrina (Kay) was 18 years old when she died in a car accident May 20 on County Road 29. “She would have been 19 in August,” says Kay’s mother Samantha Lyman of Arnprior, who along with her family is working to raise money for two scholarships in her memory at Arnprior District High School. An upcoming bake sale and dinner and dance will raise funds for the bursaries. Kay, a graduate of ADHS, had to switch high schools halfway through her schooling when her family moved from Perth to Arnprior. “At first she didn’t like it,” says Samantha. “She wasn’t a social bug; you had to talk to her first.” But she eventually met new friends and settled into ADHS, says Samantha, and had grown into a loving and determined young woman. Kay was an avid reader and loved to sing, says her mother, having performed at her Grade 8 graduation, her grandparent’s vow renewal ceremony and the Renfrew Fair. “She was a bright child and she knew what she wanted,” says Samantha. What she wanted was to complete a college education. While her parents were able to help her out a bit, Kay was going to have to foot much of the bill herself. Luckily, she was no stranger to hard work. “She’s been working since she was 14,” says Samantha. Helping other students access post-secondary education in honour of Kay is a fitting tribute, says her mother. When her young life was cut short, Kay was on her way to her job at Almonte Rexall. “She was saving money to go back to school at Algonquin to finish the legal secretary program,” says Samantha. Winners of the bursaries will be chosen from a selection of essays. Students will be asked to sub-

Taxpayers Federation wants debt elimination to become an election issue DESMOND DEVOY, JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has brought its old National Debt Clock out of mothballs for a repeat national tour, to remind Canadians of how much each citizen owes. The clock visited the Ottawa Valley last Friday, with stops at town halls in Arnprior, Carleton Place and Renfrew. “It’s a message of fiscal restraint … an appeal to the politicians,” said Derek Fildenbrandt, the federation’s national research director. “Cut spending, balance the budget and stop the clock.” During its brief stop in Arnprior, the fast-ticking clock showed the federal debt to be closing in on $563 billion with each Canadian “owing” $16,590. The debt is increasing at a rate of about $124 million a day or $1,400 a second. Fildenbrandt said that as the clock tour travels through both urban and rural areas, the response from the public has ranged from “bewilderment to rage.” Some get very angry and wonder how politicians can get away with squandering “our money,” he added. “It’s not the legacy people want handed down to future generations.” The debt clock tour left Victoria on Feb. 22 and will wrap up in Halifax early next month. But it won’t be mothballed again for some time. “We’re not going to stop until the budget is balanced,” said Fildenbrandt. He noted the debt clock toured Canada from 1993 to 1997, until the deficit was eliminated by the Chretien-Martin Liberals. “It played a big part in getting Canadians onside,” with deficit elimination, he maintained. However, the deficit has returned in a big way, causing Fildenbrandt to admit he is disappointed with Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who used to espouse fiscal conservatism. “At some point, Harper stood for a lot of the values that the Taxpayers Federation held,” he said. However, it

4th Annual

ls‛ Night Out GirFriday April 8, 2011 Canadian Taxpayers Federation national research director Derek Fildenbrandt is with the National Debt Clock in front of Arnprior Town Hall last Friday. appears the culture of bureaucratic Ottawa has changed his outlook, he said. “Ottawa does that to you,” he said. “But it’s not just Stephen Harper. All parties in Parliament are responsible for this.” Out-of-control federal spending actually started during the Pierre Elliott Trudeau years, he said. The Ignatieff Liberals were also not spared Fildenbrandt’s wrath, with their recent announcement that if they were to form the next government they would support the building of a new ice hockey arena in Quebec City with federal tax money. “They’re not credible,” Fildenbrandt said. He said the Ontario Liberal government is spending so much the province is in danger of going bankrupt. While the Harper government has stated it has a ﬁve-year plan to balance the books by 2015, Fildenbrandt holds little faith in its resolve to do so. “Five years is beyond the comprehension of God himself,” he said. “A

lot can change,” he said, pointing to Harper’s reversal of opinion on deficits from October to November 2008, from being firmly opposed to them, to embracing them, within the space of 30 days. While the change was prompted by a general consensus of all parties that stimulus spending was needed to pull the country out of the recession, Fildenbrandt isn’t buying it. It was private sector spending that helped the country survive the economic downturn, he said. The economy had recovered before most of the stimulus spending even started, he said. “There is zero evidence that even one job was created.” While the timing of the next election is still up in the air, Fildenbrandt does wants deficit reduction and elimination to be a major election issue. One of the ways the government can balance the books is by getting rid of wasteful spending, and doing some big rearranging, like phasing out equalization payments to the provinces.

Federal election expected in early May

DEBT BY THE NUMBERS In just ﬁve years – and after previous Liberal governments spent years wiping out Canada’s debt, Stephen Harper’s Conservative government has returned Canada to its all-time-high 1996-97 debt load level, says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke federal Liberal candidate Christine Tabbert. Noting Canada’s national debt peaked at $562.8 billion last week, Tabbert distributed a graph that showed the changes in Canada’s debtload since the late 1990s.

Continued from front The budget also includes $20 million over two years for the Eastern Ontario Development Program, an enhancement of the Guaranteed Income Supplement for low-income seniors, an extension of the ecoENERGY Retrofit-Homes Program and the introduction of a volunteer firefighters tax credit. “What needs to happen now is for this budget to be passed and voted into law for Canadians to realize the benefits,” Gallant said. The NDP had indicated it would support the budget if the Conservatives agreed to eliminate the federal sales tax on home-heating fuel, take measures to significantly increase the number of rural doctors, add a hefty boost to pensions for poor seniors and restore the

home eco-energy retroﬁt program. All of that didn’t happen. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke NDPers have indicated they will combine a planned agriculture session in Cobden April 2 with a nomination meeting. The Liberals, who have already nominated Christine Tabbert as their candidate in the riding, are making government accountability and trustworthiness at their main election planks. The riding’s Green candidate is Rosanne Van Schie. Former riding Liberal MP Hec Clouthier is a wild card in the race, as he is running as an independent. If the budget falls Friday, the election is expected to take place either on May 2 or 9. With ﬁles from Derek Dunn

The long-time Braeside post office is abruptly closing next Thursday, March 31 and is being relocated, at least temporarily, to the old municipal office on Centre Street. keep the post station operating in the village. They said the basement area of the former municipal office is big enough for their needs. Council agreed the township should attempt to negotiate a six-month lease with Canada Post for the area (the fire department uses the upstairs). That should give both side sufficient time to see if it could become the permanent post office, they agreed. As time is of the essence, superboxes were sched-

uled to be set up at the new site today (Thursday). McIlquham said the post ofﬁce provides an important service to the area. There are at least 150 companies and homebased businesses that depend on it, he noted. As well, village resident, especially seniors, would be disadvantaged if they couldn’t walk to their own post ofﬁce to send and collect their mail, he added. He also contacted MP Cheryl Gallant to update her on the situation.

Vote Arnprior as best fishing town Continued from front “Passionate anglers from around the country – from small rural towns to large cities -- have proudly come forward to nominate their community as the best place to wet a line,” said Mark Rubinstein, president and CEO of WFN. “We want people to get behind their towns, communities and cities and prove that they deserve the title of ultimate fishing town.” The first round of public

voting will be open from April 12 to May 3. The 18 finalists, comprised of the three entries with the highest vote totals from each of the four regions plus six “wild card” entrants selected by WFN, will advance to the final round of voting from May 10 to 31. The results will be announced in June at a ceremony in the winning community emceed by Mariko Izumi, Canada’s fishing sweetheart and host of WFN’s Hookin’ Up with

Mariko Izumi. In 2010, WFN asked Canadians to name the best place to fish and Canadians representing 160 different communities nationwide stepped up to tell WFN why their town is Canada’s best. After more than 850,000 votes were cast Port Alberni, B.C., earned the $25,000 first prize and a 30-minute show on WFN about their fishing community.

Continued from front The future of postal service in the Braeside area has been up in the air since long-time Braeside postmaster Harold Leitch died Jan. 2. Postal services, including 375 post boxes in the postal station and delivery to 400 rural route customers, has been centred in Leitch’s building since the early 1960s. However, the family last week gave Canada Post until March 31 to vacate. While that sparked some concerns the service would be removed from Braeside and centralized in Arnprior, Canada Post spokesman Eugene Knapik told the Chronicle-Guide that the corporation is committed to “uninterrupted service to the (Braeside) community, including rural route delivery.” Canada Post is looking at changing premises, but staying in the area, he said. McNab-Braeside Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie and Coun. Brad McIlquham met with Canada Post ofﬁcials Tuesday and came away with the impression they wanted to

portion for a recreational trail, I can assure you several of the following will happen: there will be increased crime along the corridor (rape, murder, theft, break and enters) and nuisance (vandalism, litter, noise). This will also be a rather costly endeavor for the County, since I, as an adjacent landowner, will require the County to erect and maintain a security fence between this public corridor and my private property (see the Ontario Government Line Fences Act). As well, I will be requesting the County show proof of adequate, site speciﬁc additional insurance for this ‘public’ property. Should the County pursue this path, I would encourage each and every one of the adjacent landowners to request the same (albeit small) security measures. Before this deal becomes ‘set in stone’, I would ask and encourage all of the people of McNab-Braeside who may be directly or indirectly affected by the CP property to write to the township leaders, our MP Cheryl Gallant and our MPP John Yakabuski. Show Mayor Campbell your support for the people of Sand Point and request that you may be allowed to purchase the property directly abutting your land.

To the editor: As it is with most people, when spring arrives, they spruce up their property, etc. Me, well I try and spruce up my mind too. It is spring, and with it, there is a need to create new ideas, or try and make old ones better. In cleaning out my mental closet, I thought back over the past year and reflected on what I have said or done, with the best of intentions. One thing I commented on in this newspaper was about the excellent editorial written last November by your editorial staff regarding the moving of the cenotaph to a position more prominent and better sited for our community. I agreed with your position then, and I really agree with it today. The other day, I took my better half to the hospital and decided to wait for her at Robert Simpson Park. When I drove up the hill on John Street my attention was drawn immediately to a large grey structure. At first I thought some one had indeed moved the cenotaph. But I was wrong. I could see the cenotaph to the right of this structure, and the cenotaph was smaller than this structure. It had lost its prominence in front of the hospital. What I was looking at was an excellent kiosk of grey cement with a large blue “H” on it and directional information with arrows pointing to the various hospital resources. It was modern, it certainly is functional, and it most certainly is needed. Our cenotaph sits back from it, that is now part of a complex that really does look to be a hybrid type of thing. It reminded me of the comedy routine of Bob Newhart when he described the “Mrs. Grace L. Ferguson Airline and Storm Door Company.” That skit was funny. This skit isn’t. I can see it now ... the area will become known as the ‘Arnprior and District Hospital Informational Kiosk and Cenotaph Monument in one breath. A visitor will ask “Where is the Remembrance Day ceremony to be held” and the direction will be to “go to the hospital information kiosk. It will direct you to it.” Of course I am saying this with my tongue in my cheek, but in truth, our cenotaph now looks out of place. Go and look at it objectively, and I think you might agree. While I know there is a cost to moving things like cenotaphs, there is also money that may be available via the Department of Veterans Affairs for the rehabilitation of, and the construction of, new cenotaphs. Our cenotaph is a beautiful monument and does not need to be rebuilt, but it really is in the wrong place now. So if matching funds could be obtained from DVA, why not explore that! Now back to my property and mental spring cleaning. The readers of this fine newspaper will probably sigh a sign of relief knowing I will be quiet for awhile.

trength is best used when it protects the weak. That is why our planes have taken to the skies over Libya. If ever there was a just war, this is it. The irony of western powers launching firepower on a Middle Eastern country on the eighth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq was probably not lost on many people. But the differences between the two conflicts are like night and day. This time, the Arab League “respects” the United Nations mandate. Not only are they on side, but nations like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are in support as well. Countries that took the U.S. and its allies to task for their Iraqi adventure, like France, Germany and Canada, are now not only on board, but are leading the charge. It is not lost on us that part of the reason we are taking action in Libya is because of that country’s oil wealth – with gas prices shooting up, we almost have to. Yes, the reasons why our six fighter jets and the HMCS Charlottetown are in the area are not entirely altruistic, and may even be partially selfish. But we can be certain that the rebels of Benghazi, facing certain annihilation just a week ago, or torture or exile if they survived, are just glad that we have arrived at the party – a little late and out of breath, but we’re there, making it an even fight. These actions are part of a coming day of reckoning for Col. Gaddafi, the alleged mastermind behind the Lockerbie bombing in 1988, and attacks on his own people. Your oil money, Swiss bank accounts and henchmen won’t save you now. We do agree with the opposition that this should not be an open-ended mission. Even though time was of the essence, if it is not over within three months, it does need to come back to the House of Commons for a proper debate. The Libyan know best how to decide the future of their country, one without Col. Gaddafi and his family. Hopefully, the action taken by Canada and her allies this week will hasten an end to this bloody civil war. Once the dust settles, and a new democratic government is set up, Canada will be there, as we always have been, ready to help with tools, sweat and advice on rebuilding.

Don’t turn CP corridor into a trail To the editor: An open letter to the landowners adjacent to the soon-to-be abandoned CP property. The impending closure and ultimate disposition of the CP property running through McNabBraeside is currently being discussed by the Counties. It is my understanding the Counties of Renfrew and Lanark are considering purchasing the property to be held as ‘a County asset’. It is also my understanding the Province of Ontario has issued a ‘Rails-to-Trails’ protocol whereby abandoned rail corridors are to be retained by the Crown for conversion to recreational trails. Our Mayor Mary Campbell has publicly expressed her opposition to the CP corridor in question being utilized as a recreational trail, speciﬁcally in the Hamlet of Sand Point. I would like to publicly announce my support and commend Mayor Campbell for protecting the people of Sand Point! This rail corridor has no business being converted to a recreational trail. In many instances, this line runs directly through many private landowners’ properties that front Renfrew County Road 3 and the Ottawa River shoreline. I for one will not support the County allowing a public recreational trail on this property. Should the County retain this

Break-ins, assault keep Arnprior OPP busy

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

It’s been a busy early spring for Arnprior OPP. A few downtown commercial break-ins are under investigation, including one at Badham’s Machine and Welding that saw thieves take equipment to O’Brien Theatre in an attempt to crack its safe. Then there was an assault on March 17 that left one teen with a broken jaw, orbital bone and cheek bone. Another teen has been charged with aggravated assault. A fatal stabbing of a teen in Orleans, also on St. Patrick’s Day, may have led to false rumours that the Arnprior incident was a stabbing and that the victim had died. “The last couple of weeks it’s been busy,” said Arnprior OPP Sgt. Gary Dougherty, who opted not to comment on the break-in case. “We’ve had a lot of people who have been very helpful.” In the assault case, which started as a fist fight (no knives were involved, Dougherty confirmed), the victim was sent to hospital in Arnprior before he was transported to the Civic campus in Ottawa. Police were alerted by a 9-1-

The Ontario Provincial Police remind the public that the process for obtaining a criminal record check has changed recently. In order to work or volunteer with children, the elderly or disabled persons, a vulnerable sector clearance must be obtained. The forms required for the process are available at the Arnprior and the Renfrew Raglan Street detachments of the OPP. One of these forms must be filled out and signed by the agency (school, hospital, sports organization, etc.) requesting the criminal record check be completed. There are only specific forms of the identification deemed acceptable by the RCMP. At least one photo ID is required and without acceptable ID the Criminal record

check cannot be completed. The following is a list of acceptable forms of identification: Driver’s Licence, Government Employment Card, Age of Majority Card, Military Employment Card, Canadian Citizenship Card, Indian Status Card, International Student Card, Passport, Permanent Resident Card, FAC, PAL, BYID Card, Birth Certificate, Baptismal Certificate, Hunting Licence, Outdoors Card, Canadian Blood Donor Card, or Immigration Papers. The process takes a week to two weeks to complete at a minimum and can take up to six months, depending on the circumstances involved. The completed check needs to be picked up in person, by the applicant. The fee involved for a check for employment purposes is $25, must be cash, and correct change is preferred. There is no charge for criminal record checks completed for volunteers.

The Grove Nursing Home will host a presentation called Understanding Dementia and Approaches to Care Tuesday, April 5. The 7 p.m. information session is being held in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. Tracey Liebig of the Alzheimer Society will share information on dementia. She will talk about the different stages of Alzheimer Disease, the changes in a person with dementia and the needs of the individual at each stage of the disease. In addition, she will provide some information on communication strategies and visiting tips. The presentation, to be held in the Grove’s auditorium, is open to all members of the public.

Speak up if you suspect domestic abuse: OPP What is domestic violence? Domestic violence is any use of physical or sexual force, actual or threatened, in an intimate relationship, including emotional and psychological abuse or harassing behaviour, explain police. This violence may include physical assault and emotional, psychological and sexual abuse. It can include threats to harm children, other family members, pets and property. The violence is used to intimidate, humiliate or frighten victims, or to make them powerless. Domestic violence may be a single act of abuse. It may also include a number of acts that may appear minor or trivial when viewed in isolation, but collectively form a pattern that amounts to abuse. If you suspect that someone you know is being abused, speak up, urge OPP. “If you’re hesitating - telling yourself that it’s none of your business, you might be wrong, or the person might not want to talk about it - keep in mind that expressing your concern will let the person know that you care and may even save their life.” For assistance or more information, call the Renfrew OPP at 613-432-3211, or reach out to local health care providers, Bernadette McCann or online resources such as helpguide.org. Last week Renfrew OPP investigated three domestic disputes. One man was charged with two counts of assault. No criminal offences occurred in the other cases.

A Valley driver recently learned a lesson most people know, that it is an offence to follow within 150 meters of an ambulance responding to a call, report OPP.

OPP officers were notified on Feb. 24 that a vehicle was chasing an ambulance responding to a high priority call. Officers located the vehicle

on Highway 60 in the area of 11 Butler Road. As a result of the investigation a 25-year-old Hull man was issued a ticket for the offence. March 24 2011 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE

Liberals propose gun registry improvements: Christine Tabbert

ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE - March 24 2011

NEW HUNTING SHOW Al Mills of Al’s Corner Store in Galetta was one of many exhibitors at the inaugural Renfrew Gun and Hunting Show last weekend at the Renfrew Armouries. More than 100 tables of guns and other products were on display at the well-attended show organized by Dave Arbour of Valley Outdoors Promotions. He also organizes an annual gun and hunting show in Carp, scheduled this year for Sept. 3-4. The next major show for Valley outdoorsmen is the 12th annual Fishing and Outdoors Photo by Lucy Hass Show April 8 to 10 at the Carp Arena.

Website to help with contract bids In her March column, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant discusses ways local companies can bid on federal contracts and laid-off workers can receive beneﬁts. She writes that in response to request by businesses, some in her riding, the buyandsell.gc.ca website was created “to provide access to fair, open and transparent contracting opportunities for small and medium enterprises across Canada” when it comes to selling goods and services to the federal government. She also writes that the Wage Earner Protection Program assists workers who lose their jobs and are

owed money because their employers have either gone bankrupt or are in receivership. The program reimburses eligible Canadian workers for a portion of their unpaid wage, vacation, termination and severance pay up to $3,400, or four weeks maximum insurable earnings under the Employment Insurance Act, she notes. It’s an improvement over previous rules that had employees facing expensive litigation and red tape to get their money, she maintains. About 30,000 claimants have beneﬁted from the program so far, she adds. For the full column, see the newspaper’s website at www. yourottawaregion.com.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke federal Liberal candidate Christine Tabbert is appealing to voters to stop letting the debate over the long-gun registry divide the riding. Tabbert says people should look closely at the improvements Liberals are proposing to the registry before they make up their minds. In an open letter, she addresses the issue as follows: “In the year and a half that I have been your federal Liberal candidate, I have had the privilege of hearing from you about a lot of issues that concern the constituents of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. One of these is the longgun registry. “Some people remain opposed to the registry in any form. Others have always been in favour of it. Still others have told me that they were opposed to the registry, but they now think that it should stay and be improved. “There is certainly more than one point of view on this subject within our riding, as there is in the rest of Canada. “Since I was nominated to be your Liberal candidate, I have made sure that the legitimate concerns from gun-owners about the way the registry operates were heard by the Liberal Party in Ottawa. “That is one of the reasons why, in April 2010, the Liberal Party proposed improvements to the longgun registry. “Liberals recognize that gun-owners have legitimate concerns. At the same time, we want to make sure that police ofﬁcers have the tools they need to keep us, and themselves, safe.

“For too long, this topic has been used to divide people in our riding. As reported in the NRT’s recent article, “MP stirs pot on gun registry – again,” our current Member of Parliament has now promised, for the fifth election in a row, to eliminate the gun registry. This is nothing but another empty promise: easily made and easily broken. MOVING FORWARD “The initial bill that brought the registry into being, Bill C-68, was introduced almost 20 years ago in 1993. It is time to move forward to ensure that the registry works for all people in our riding, including long-gun owners. “We have proposed three main improvements to the long-gun registry. First, a Liberal government would ensure that first-time failures to register firearms would be treated as a simple, non-criminal, ticketing offence, instead of a criminal offence as they currently are. “Second, we would permanently eliminate fees for new licenses, renewals and upgrades. Third, we would streamline the registration process to make it as easy as possible. “It is time to focus on the priorities of the families in this riding: pensions you can count on, health care when you need it and job opportunities for young people. “I am committed to addressing your concerns about the long-gun registry, and to focusing on priorities that will ensure that people in our riding share in the same opportunities as other Canadians.”

Election would threaten gun amnesty: MP Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is warning local farmers and hunters there will be no protection for licensed owners of unregistered long guns if there is a federal election. The current amnesty expires May 17. “As a government caucus member, I fought for the ﬁrst registration amnesty when our party became government,” said Gallant in a news release. “As long as the opposition coalition votes to prevent our government from scrapping the long-gun registry, I will ﬁght for the amnesty for my constituents,” she added.

“An amnesty is just a stop-gap measure. The only acceptable measure to the people of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke is to scrap the long-gun registry all together.” Gallant stressed that while the Tories continue to be in a minority government position, “my best efforts and that of the Conservative Party to scrap the long-gun registry will not be successful.” She noted that since the Conservatives became government in 2006, they have tried on ﬁve occasions to repeal “the hated Liberal registry.” “If some of the opposition, socialist coalition MPs had voted the way

they promised their voters when they were elected last election, the registry would be gone,” she said. “My opponents will say anything to get elected. The record shows they cannot be trusted.” Gallant said that “unlike members of other parties who have ﬂip-ﬂopped on this issue, I have never changed my position when it comes to opposing the long-gun registry. “Ever since the Liberal Party in this riding told local hunters to ‘get a life’, local residents know who is the true defender of rural, small town values in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke,” she concluded. 456099

An increased salary for the county warden isn’t in the County of Renfrew’s 2011 budget, but expect one in 2012. There appeared to be general support for the notion, during the Feb. 23 session of county council, when Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards Mayor Janice Visneskie made the suggestion. A past county warden, Visneskie said the warden essentially serves as the county’s chief executive officer and should, therefore, receive due recognition. “I really do feel that should be increased,” she said of the warden’s salary, which was $20,695 in 2010. “You have to sit there to know what that job requires, and it should be a lot more than two per cent,” she added in reference to the two per cent remuneration increase later approved for county councillors for 2011. In 2010, Warden Don Rathwell received per diems of $35,823, including a $20,695 salary, and expenses of $4,611 for a total income of $40,434. “My focus,” said Visneskie, “is that we pay him $20,000 to be the CEO and I think that’s outrageous.” No county councillor, other than the warden, received total remuneration, including per diems and expenses, above $10,000 in 2010. The highest remuneration went to Visneskie, with $9,723, based on $6,875 in per diems and $2,848 in expenses. The warden and other county councillors last year were paid $101 per half-day committee meeting and $189 for full-day meetings, plus mileage expenses. However, county councillors don’t appear to be pushing for a lot more pay for themselves, other than for the warden. Compensation for all county councillors, said McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell, “could be $30,000, but it isn’t. There is a little bit of sacrifice to this job.” Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green and Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack both said the committee of finance and administration should review the issue. Green also referred to the warden’s salary as a “mere drop in the bucket.” The finance committee will review remuneration for all county councillors before recommending any increases in the 2012 budget. Warden Bob Sweet said there is a need to review the template of remuneration, admitting he has been surprised at the level of the warden’s salary. “There is compensation, but is it sufficient? wondered Sweet after indicating he’s in the county office as warden Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and Saturdays and Sundays “are not free.” “I guess I’m the chief executive officer, but in no way can we

compare this to the private sector,” said Sweet. But he did indicate the last salary increase for the warden (other than cost-of-living increases) was about nine years ago.

“There’s no question there are additional expenses that people don’t see,” said Sweet. “And there’s no question compensation doesn’t come close to recovering all of those expenses.”

County considers increasing warden’s income

454993

Each late March I lead an excursion for the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club to find owls. We head out at dusk and for several hours listen and call for these mysterious birds of the night. The March 20 outing proved to be one of the most successful of all. Our first location was a cedar-fringed opening north of White Lake. The 50 participants listened with excitement as a Great Horned Owl greeted the night with a booming “ wh o o o - awh o o - wh o o o whooo.” The outing is often held a week or two later when the croaks of Striped Chorus Frogs and the chirps of American Woodcocks render owl calls more difficult to hear, but on this outing the Great Horned owned the night. I began my Northern Sawwhet Owl impersonations. This tiny owl gives a short repeated whistle. After a few minutes a small form was spotted fly-

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way

ing low overhead. After a few more imitations, a barely audible highpitched screech was heard from a nearby spruce. It was a Saw-whet, and likely a female. We failed to find the owl, but after another round of calls a second dark form was seen flying in to the opposite side of the road. Illuminated by the peripheral glow of a flashlight (you never shine a light

directly on an owl as they have light-sensitive eyes), a second Saw-whet offered superb views. It began to call, revealing itself to be a male defending his territory. We watched as it comically bobbed its head in a circular fashion as it tried to pinpoint the location of the intruder (me). Not wishing to disturb the little fellow any longer, we left to ﬁnd a Barred Owl. This large owl, easily recognized by large dark eyes and a name-giving barred bib, prefers hardwood forests. We made several stops along the beautiful Bellamy Road that runs between White Lake and Cedar Hill. At two locations we heard Barred Owls in the distance. With time running out, I made one last stop alongside a hardwood forest near Clayton where I knew a pair of Barred Owls lived. After 10 minutes of me giving that species’ distinctive “who-cooks-for-you,

who-cooks-for-you-awwwl” calls, no answer had been heard. I tried sucking on my fingers to produce a squeal, a sound that hunting owls find irresistible. After a couple of minutes, a dark form landed behind me. Under the flashlight’s soft glow a beautiful Barred Owl was clearly visible. The bird showed absolutely no interest in replying to my owl calls, which I began to give soon after it landed. So why did it not answer? It is known that owls can be present but not call if they are underfed. It appears that a fat body is needed for the mating instinct to arise. It may be that this Barred Owl was underfed and not in mood for love. Or it could be that my calls were so bad they did not warrant any interest from the owl!

Township asks province for advice on whether coyote culls are worthwhile DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The mayor of McNab-Braeside says something must be done about the growing number of coyotes attacking livestock. The indirect costs to small municipalities are mounting, says Mary Campbell. While it is true the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) will pay a farmer about $500 for every livestock animal killed by a coyote, the administration costs, along with employee time and resources, is born by the township. “It’s always been the case the province pays for livestock when a calf is killed or something like that,” Campbell said. “But not for our mileage and salary to ﬁle the report. And it’s been increasing over I’d say the last ﬁve years or so.” Campbell, who has owned a farm on Campbell Drive for about 20 years, said about 15 to 20 reports of livestock kills

Dog kill application rejected

are ﬁled annually in McNab-Braeside. She favours the idea of a cull, provided hunters are hand-picked by MNR. “Do we just keep paying or do we have a controlled cull in co-operation with MNR,” she said. “I’m not talking about the good old boys meeting at Al’s. If the advice we get (from MNR) is for a cull, then we’ll take that advice and do it properly.” However, she admits to knowing little about the animals having the ability to reproduce at a rapid rate even when their population is under stress. Nor does she buy the criticism that MNR is in the back pocket of hunters because it receives much of its funding from hunting fees. “I’m very supportive of MNR,” Campbell said. “They can’t be bought for what they get from hunting fees.” On the other hand, she said using guard dogs, llamas, donkeys and other measures doesn’t seem to work against the wily predator. She isn’t sure deer fencing would be any more effective.

McNab-Braeside council was startled to ﬁnd out that livestock killed by dogs isn’t eligible for provincial compensation. Mayor Mary Campbell reported that a claim involving a turkey killed by dogs was rejected

But without taking any measures the coyote population continues to expand, she said, even though in her lifetime there has been no additional human encroachment in the Dochart Creek area. “You never saw a coyote back then. Now they are in packs of 20,” she said. “A wolf will shy away. Coyotes are afraid of you.” She added that the coyotes have at least taken care of any perceived groundhog problem. McNab-Braeside, along with other rural municipalities, has in the past advised the province on control measures. But Campbell said there needs to be better communication between the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and MNR. The township is waiting to hear back from the province on whether municipalities will receive additional compensation and if, in McNab-Braeside’s case, a cull is warranted.

ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE - March 24 2011

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

An Arnprior artist has works in well over 100,000 homes and businesses across North America. But only until Dec. 31. Kevin Dodds is an artist with Lang Calendars, Cards and Gifts, a company with dozens of artists producing works for Target, Walmart and many other outlets across the U.S. and Canada. Dodds is known for his charming pastoral and still lifes, reminiscent of Norman Rockwell’s work. Dodds’ 2011 Four Seasons calendar for Lang sold out by December last year, leaving the locally born and raised artist smiling but also scrambling for extras. “I was the ﬁrst of their artists to sell every thing, calendars, puzzles, everything,” Dodds said. “It was good, but a little disappointing because we didn’t have enough for my local customers. This year I’ll order a lot more.” The 2012 calendar, hot off the press, is called Journey Home. It doesn’t feature people in it, but many of the scenes will be familiar to people living nearby. The cover features ﬂowers and Gillian Danby’s white picket fence along Madawaska Boulevard.

Other paintings depict country scenes in Gillies Grove, Pakenham and at Dodds’ former log home in Cobden. Asked how he feels about having Arnprior images appearing on calendars available to thousands of people across the continent, Dodds deﬂects attention elsewhere. “I also do impressionistic. It’s a nice break from the other stuff, more of a free style,” he said about the style that attempts to invoke an emotion rather than a comprehendible image. Dodds is participating in this weekend’s Maple Run Studio Tour. He’ll be at the Pakenham General Store from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday (March 26-27). During the April 1 to 3 Pakenham Home Show, Dodds will be selling work. He is also holding classes in the Glebe and at his studio on John Street in Arnprior. For details, see kevindoddsart.com.

Celebrate spring at the Maple Run tour The ﬁrst signs of spring are beginning to appear as the birds return, the maple trees begin to run their sap and the Maple Run Studio Tour participants are geared up for their ninth season. Take a scenic drive this weekend (March 26-27) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to indulge in the sweet maple products and meet local craftspeople and artists on the popular self-guided studio tour that takes place in a 10-km radius in and around historic Pakenham. One of the featured artists, among the 20 participating in 15 stops this year, is Kevin Dodds of Arnprior. Dodds gained fame across North America last year when he inked a deal with Lang Calendars, Cards and Gifts, which saw more than 100,000 calendars with his quaint pastoral scenes appear in stores from Target to Walmart in the U.S. and Canada. Dodds will be on hand at the Pakenham General Store to show his works. Fresh from the printers is the 2012 calendar, which will also be for sale. “The Maple Run is really the beginning of spring, the ﬁrst weekend to get outdoors and travel through the countryside,” Dodds said. “The maple syrup is running and it’s a chance to see all the wonderful art.” Tour stops include Fulton’s Pancake House and Sugar

Kevin Dodds’ work is in more than 100,000 homes and businesses across North America. An artist for Lang Calendars, which publishes charming country images, Dodds will be at the General Store in Pakenham during this weekend’s Maple Studio Run. Along with painting scenes from Renfrew and surrounding areas, Dodds does abstract impressionist work such as the one behind him. Bush and studios featuring glass-blowing demonstrations, wood-working with exotic and native woods, photography, jewelry in diverse creations, functional and decorative pottery, intricate miniature quilting, new spring colours and ﬁbres in woven garments and sewn couture handmade papers and journal books, and paintings in oil, acrylic and water colour. Also included are natural bath and beauty products and many more one-of-a-kind pieces to be discovered. And there will be plenty of places where people on tour can get a meal or treat. Husband-and-wife team Pat Dubreuil and Don De-

Groat, owners of Pakenham’s 3 Yellow Tulips Art Shoppe, and organizers of the event, have been selecting local artists and collaborating with volunteers for months. “The collection of artists changes and expands every year so that people have a nice variety, but also can return to the regulars,” explained Dubreuil. However, she describes that the tour provides even more than simply “exposure for these talented artists to show and hopefully sell some of their works, but also exposure of our beautiful village of Pakenham.” See ‘PAKENHAM’ Page 19 451879

Pakenham store to feature Dodds Continued from Page 15 Most of the works mirror this affection for the area, drawing inspiration from rural life; many reﬂect some of the area’s historic gems, while also capturing the views and landscapes enjoyed throughout the tour. Some of the studios even make up these aesthetically pleasing landmarks, such as the Carnivic Lodge. “Pakenham has so much to offer from our ﬁve-span arch bridge, golf course, and ski hill, to the beauty of the village and its lifestyle,” says Dubreuil. “It is only 30 minutes from the city,

yet many people don’t even know about it.” “The true purpose is to have fun. People have spring fever and need to get out and enjoy the weather,” says DeGroat.

Alternative health care clinic moves to the country JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

As Manuela MuellerCode’s health care remedies are based in nature, it made sense for her to move her clinic from the town to the forest. After six years at the Kenwood Centre in Arnprior, Mueller-Code has relocated the Hahnemann Centre for Heilkunst to her home in rural McNabBraeside. “When you’re preaching about natural laws, this setting (surrounded by forest) is much more conducive to the healing process,” said MuellerCode, a doctor of medical Heilkunst. Patients also like the privacy of her country ofﬁce, she added. She will hold an open house at 946 Mill Ridge Rd. Monday, March 28 from 5 to 8 p.m. for all those interested in ﬁnding out more about the clinic’s offerings. The alternative health clinic, which focuses on treating the underlying root cause of maladies, has a growing number of clients throughout the Up-

per Ottawa Valley, including many in her home area of Arnprior and McNabBraeside. Mueller-Code treats a wide variety of ailments, from addictions and depression to arthritis and migraines. When advising the afﬂicted, Mueller-Code looks at the complete picture. Health care tends to be too compartmentalized, she noted, adding Heilkunst addresses problems of the mind, soul and spirit, as well as the body. It’s incumbent for patients to recognize all inﬂuences if they are to achieve the balance in the body necessary for healing, she explained. “There are no magic pills,” she said, adding that disease is nature’s way of telling a person something is wrong and changes are needed. People can improve their quality of life by suppressing the symptoms with pills and supplements, she said, “but they should never lose sight of the root cause (of their ailments).” She said people need to identify and deal with the

effects genetics and lifestyle have on their health, along with the shocks and traumas the body has received over the years. For instance, she has had patients who earlier in life suppressed ailments such as eczema and psoriasis only to have them return in other forms such as allergies and asthma. The patient has to “help me find what’s wrong with them ... tell me what’s going on in their lives,” she said. “Once we identify the blockages (to good health), we can work on eliminating them.” To assist in her diagnosis of what’s wrong, Mueller-Code has recently become a certified life blood analyst. “Your blood helps tell us what’s going on,” she explained. “It helps me zero in even more specifically on what organs are stressed ... what the body needs and what it is missing.” Heilkunst, which has been around for 200 years, uses science and the principles of nature to “make people whole” and maximize their potential.

Manuela Mueller-Code uses a specialized Dark Field microscopy technology to analyze blood in her relocated ofﬁce in an addition to her rural home in McNab-Braeside. Since opening her medical centre in 2004, MuellerCode has treated hundreds of patients of all ages suffering chronic physical and/or emotional pain. She has tackled neuro-

logical and mental illness such as autism, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and many child-related problems including attention deﬁcit, hyperactive and obsessivecompulsive disorders.

She is proud of her successes, particularly in helping those whose ailments have mystiﬁed other medical practitioners. See ‘HEILKUNST’ Page 25

She has assisted patients to lower their blood pressure, handle grief and deal with menopause.

She is also attracting more younger patients who want to understand what their bodies need to stay healthy. “I’m ﬁnding I’m treating a lot more moms and kids,” she said.

Winning basketball blitz at St. Joe’s Arnprior Basketball is alive and well at St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Arnprior. Throughout the winter season, the grade 7 and 8 teams have been putting on a show. The grade 7 boys and grade 7 girls captured the Renfrew County east championships – the highest level of elementary school competition in the county for their grade level. The Grade 8 boys team ﬁnished in third place in the Renfrew County East Tournament. As a result, St. Joe’s was invited to play in the full County Championship held at Opeongo High School on

March 9. The Grade 8 girls basketball team from St. Joseph’s Arnprior placed second in the Renfrew (East End) tournament allowing them to head to the county championships at Opeongo High School on March 9. In the championship game, the girls battled hard through the quarter final game against Bishop Smith and the semi-final game against Pineview. It was off to the finals against Cobden. The girls played hard to the very end where they took the final game 10-7.

The Grade 8 boys team is made up of, from left, front row, Phil Pilon, Evan Shriver, Isaac Perrault, Thomas McMann and Michael Clarke and back row Willy Ruddy, Brody Flegal, Steven D’Souza, Lucas Power and coach Nathan Hisko.

CFL player Justin Phillips to teach conditioning at Kenwood Athletic Centre in Arnprior

The Kenwood Athletic Centre is bringing in a Canadian Football League player to teach conditioning this spring. Justin Phillips, a linebacker who is entering his ﬁfth season with the Calgary Stampeders, will be offering a spring conditioning program for high school and university football players. Phillips was a ﬁrst-round draft pick of the Stampeders in 2007 after he played three seasons with the Wilfred Laurier Golden Hawks. He was a two-time Ontario all-star and All-Canadian for the Golden Hawks, who won two Yates Cup (Ontario) titles and one national championship during his tenure. He won a Grey Cup with the Stampeders in 2008.

Phillips will give three high intensity training sessions a week throughout April. The

hour-long classes will run from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Pre-training testing will be done April 1 and the post-training testing May 3. The centre promises guaranteed the training will make participating athletes and stronger. The training includes learning techniques to run faster, jump higher and lift more weights. It will feature such exercises as the 40-yard dash, 20-yard agility, vertical broad jump, bench press, squats and hang cleans. The cost of the training is $119 for Kenwood Athletic Centre members and $169 for nonmembers. To register or for more information, call Doug Cavanagh at 613-623-1030.

Golf tourney to raise funds for ADHS athletics JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

The Arnprior District High School Athletic Alumni Association is seeking golfers and sponsors for its second annual Alumni and Friends of ADHS Golf Tournament. The Redmen golf tournament will be held Saturday, May 28 at the Madawaska Golf Course. The association hosts the event in co-operation with the school’s Athletic Executive. ADHS athletic director Phil Moore explained that organizers are looking at having 18 to 30 four-person teams participate. They are also asking for business support either through sponsoring a hole or donating prizes for a rafﬂe table. Alumni association president Joe Lavoie said the objective is to raise funds to pay for additional ﬁtness equipment to enhance the

school’s physical education curriculum, strengthen ADHS’s extra-curricular athletic programs and provide an adaptive environment for special needs students. “Funds raised will be used directly to promote healthy lifestyles and athletics within the ADHS community,” said Lavoie. Lavoie promises a “fun-ﬁlled day of golf ” complete with prizes and dinner. The tournament will be a fourperson co-ed scramble with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. People can register their teams by e-mail at arnprioralumnigolf@gmail.com or by calling Moore at 613-623-3183, ext. 229. All team registrations are due by May 21. The tournament fee is $80 per player ($30 for members of the Madawaska Golf Club). It includes the green fee with power cart, dinner and prizes.

STAFF

The Madawaska Mustangs, champions of the Brockville girls Freeze Hockey Tournament, consist of, in back from left, trainer Michelle Leavoy-Virgin, coach Dave King, Tomi Grys, Alison Forster, Bria Sullivan, Kelsie McGuire, Shauna McNulty, Cassie King and coach Janice King; and in the middle Jordan Greenough, Jocelyn Virgin, Candace Albanese, Janessa Russett and Abby Rampton; and in front goalie Rachel Glofcheskie.

Mustangs freeze out opponents The Madawaska Mustangs girls bantam hockey team captured the title in the Brockville Girls Freeze Hockey Tournament on the weekend of Jan. 28-30. The team returned home as champions after defeating Kemptville, Kingston, and Brockville in the preliminary round. They then went on to face off again against a strong Kingston team in the ﬁnal. There was no scoring for either team in the ﬁrst period. In the second, the Mustangs Bria Sullivan banged in a goal after a scramble around the opposing net at the six-minute mark, assisted by Janessa

Russett and Tomi Grys. Then Candace Albanese went in all alone after having been fed a pass from Shauna McNulty and scored on a backhand. Going into the third the Mustangs were up 2-0, but the Kingston Ice Wolves fought back hard and furious pulling to within one with a goal of their own. The pressure was intense after the Ice Wolves pulled their goalie to add an extra attacker. The Mustangs held on with a strong defensive effort and came out victorious 2-1.

It could easily have been the Arnprior Packers doing battle with the Clarence Creek Beavers in Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League Metro-Valley Conference championship series. While the Packers lost in five games to the Valley champion Renfrew Timberwolves, the games were relatively close. Considering the Packers were missing three key players to injury, the team can be proud of its efforts. The Packers were also one of the youngest teams in the league this year and if most of their players return they should be a strong contender next season. Arnprior had a strong first half of the season while faltering in the second half. Meanwhile, the Wolves are in danger of being swept by the Beavers, but despite being down 3-0 in the best-of-seven series, they could well have won two of the first three games.

Sunday’s third-game loss was particularly heart-breaking for the Wolves, who allowed Clarence Creek to tie the game with just 16 seconds left and then win in the second overtime session. Renfrew had entered the third period with a 3-1 lead, but couldn’t hold on in Clarence Creek. Wolves goaltender Richard Barr, who was instrumental in Renfrew’s win over Arnprior, stopped 52 of the 56 shots. The Wolves need a win to keep their 2010-11 season alive in an 8 p.m. start at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre in Renfrew this Friday. In game two, Beaver goalie Patrick Martin showed why he received the top Metro Division goaltender award at the banquet in Arnprior last month. Martin blocked 27 Renfrew shots, many of a quality variety, to lead his team a 2-0 win. Game one has been the only one-sided affair so far, as the Wolves lost 5-1. The Rideau-St. Lawrence ﬁnal is tied 1-1 between the Athens Aeros and the Winchester Hawks.

Adaptive Ski Program growing at the Peaks Program celebrates seventh season with a new look on the hill PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

With 57 volunteers and instructors and 38 disabled skiers, the Sunday Adaptive Ski Program at Calabogie Peaks is well-established as it wraps up its seventh season. “It’s hard to believe that we started with eight skiers, two sitskis and a handful of dedicated volunteers seven years ago” said Bob Gilmour, the program’s onhill co-ordinator and one of its founding members. “Today, we have a total of 11 sit-skis for skiers conﬁned to wheelchairs, snow sliders (basically walkers on skis), adaptive snowboard equipment and a variety of other equipment to assist our skiers in coming down the slopes.” The eight-week program runs through January and February. Morning and afternoon programs are offered for new skiers with full-day programs offered to those more experienced and independent skiers. Instructor and volunteer training took place in December with a full-day follow-up session held Jan 30. Emphasis is always on “safety, fun, and learning how to

ski” in that order, explained program co-ordinator Clay Dawdy. The highly successful Community Living Day for challenged adults from the Arnprior and Renfrew areas was held for the sixth time in February. About 25 instructors and volunteers area introduced 20 adults from the Community Living program to the sport of skiing, resulting in lots of smiles from people who normally view ice and snow as the enemy. Also, the Peaks’ ‘Higher Education Program’ involving weekday visits by public and high schools continues to support inclusion for disabled skiers using the Peaks Snow School assisted The volunteers and skiers participating in the Adaptive Ski Program gather for a photograph at Calabogie by volunteers as required.

The students from Renfrew County High Schools are learning traditional and basic soldiering skills known as Reserves Basic Military Qualification, a.k.a. boot camp. They are trained in drills, military law, military history, first aid, ethics and weaponry. During my visit, I had the opportunity to witness candidates engaging in using the standard rifle correctly. They learned the point of aim, wind allowance and miss drill. The co-op students wearing military attire learned to strip their C7 rifles and lay out all the parts in proper order. Then they had to reassemble it in a timely fashion as well as perform a sight, load, unload, ready, make safe and clear drills. The drills are completed over and over until the candidates have mastered the skills. Class teachers, Master Corporal Jones and Corporal Jones, teach the students the mechanisms of immediate action, possible stoppages, firing at moving targets and firing from cover. The personnel responsible for the young military co-op students are Sgt. Hood, and Lt. Ayoub. In speaking with some of the candidates, I found them to be upbeat, focused and pleased to be in the course. “It has been a great experience so far. I have learned many new skills, rifle and marching drills,” said Sheldon Hawley. “I think the most important skill I have learned though is teamwork. Throughout the course, I have learned that without working as a

Child anxiety expert coming to Ottawa, Renfrew County Dr. Gordon Neufeld will be in Ottawa and Renfrew County April 37 for a number of important speaking engagements, some of which are in-house sponsored events and some of which will be open to the public. Dr. Neufeld is a Canadian developmental psychologist with 40 years of experience with children and youth and those responsible for

DR. GORDON NEUFELD them. While formerly involved in university teaching and private practice, he is a bestselling author and an international speaker who now devotes his time to teaching and training others. Neufeld is considered a foremost authority on child development and is highly respected for his work and expertise in understanding attachment. Neufeld will be hosted for in-house professional development by three major Ottawa agencies: the Psychiatry Depart-

ment of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa, and the Day Treatment Forum of Eastern Ontario. His schedule will also include three free events open to the public (parents and professionals), including a focus on understanding anxiety in children and youth, set for Monday, April 4 at the Travelodge Ottawa Conference Centre. Neufeld will be discussing the indications of increasing alarm in children, and how escalating evidence of anxiety in the young begs for an explanation. Differing studies suggest that one in ﬁve children now qualify for an anxiety disorder diagnosis. Neufeld will shed fresh light on this issue and pave the way for interventions that get to the root causes of anxiety as opposed to just managing symptoms. For more information or to register, contact Darlene Denis-Friske at the Arnprior Child and Youth Counselling Centre, 613-622-5499 or acycc@bellnet.ca. Neufeld will also be presenting two important free evening talks for parents and professionals on ‘Relationship Matters’, with one being held in Ottawa Wednesday April 6, sponsored by the Catholic School Parent’s Association and St. Patrick’s

School Council. Go to www.ottawacspa.ca for more information or to register. Another session will be held in Renfrew at RCI High School Thursday, April 7, sponsored by the Renfrew County Student Support Leadership Team.

Staggered-bells busing system extended The beginning of the 2011-2012 school year will mark the expansion of a staggered bell busing program for Opeongo and Madawaska area schools. The system began in the ArnpriorMcNab areas last September. “Our priority continues to be to ﬁnd efﬁciencies so that we can support student achievement,” said Dave Howard, co-chairman of the Renfrew County Joint Transportation Consortium (RCJTC) in a news release. Bus-stop locations and length of the school day will remain the same. The staggered bell system allows for double routing of buses so drivers can make more than one trip, reducing the number of buses required and decreasing

Susan Love awaits decision of Court of Appeal panel

OPP fraud warning

Attempts to separate people from their money continue to be rampant, warn OPP. In the latest incident reported to police, a person was selling a vehicle over the Internet. The potential buyer sent them what appeared to be a certiﬁed cheque for $2,000 more than the agreed selling price, with a request to return the $2,000 in a money order.

March 24 2011 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE

Man convicted of killing former Arnprior resident Phillip Love appeals

When the seller attended the bank, they were 45 informed it was a scam and to report to the police. The fact the cheque was not for the agreed upon amount should be all you need to know it is a scam, warn police. Banks may initially honour the cheque until it is returned to them as fraudulent. By then, you may have already sent the fraudster your money. Don’t be fooled. Educate yourself on the more popular scams at www.antifraudcentre.ca.

judge failed to instruct the jury on provocation. That instruction could have reduced the murder charge to manslaughter. If the charge were to be reduced to manslaughter, the sentence could range from a suspended sentence to life in prison. Murder’s minimum sentence is life in prison, with minimum eligibility of 25 and 10 years for first- and second-degree murder respectively. Among other stated grounds for appeal are that Justice Cacchione’s verdict can’t be supported by the evidence; namely that no one saw Ward use a baseball bat to strike Love. The legal brief filed by the Crown, in response to the appeal, notes there is significant evidence to support the conviction. With the appeal two weeks away, Gumpert said, “We’ll have solid arguments made in court April 7.” That three-member panel, added Gumpert, will likely reserve its decision on the appeal for another day. Love says Ward’s appeal makes dealing with the loss of her only child all the more difficult. “I could go on and on, and get angry, but that doesn’t help,” said Love. “I still have my life and I still have my job, but I can’t put this behind me. I can’t even start to grieve because it (the justice process) goes on again and again. “Now, look at what’s coming up. I might have to sit through another six-week trial. He’s in jail and the thought of him (Ward) getting out, I don’t know ….” said Love, unable to finish the sentence. Love is also a member of the new organization, Canadian Parents of Murdered Children and Survivors of Homicide Victims Inc. The organization is hosting a half-day workshop April 12 in Ottawa on the impact of murder on the family unit. For more details, visit www.cpomc.ca.

Valley resident Susan Love was expecting more closure with the trial for Bradley Martin this year, but now she’ll have to wait several months more for that possibility. Love’s son Phillip, a former Arnprior resident, was murdered in January 2007 in Halifax. She recently learned that the trial for Martin, who faces charges for accessory to murder, won’t go to the Nova Scotia Supreme Court until Feb. 12, 2012. The trial was to be held this spring, but that date was delayed after Shane Ward, the man found guilty of killing Love, appealed Justice Felix Cacchione’s sentencing of 16 years with no eligibility for parole. “It’s the justice system. Nothing surprises me anymore,” said Love of the hearing April 7 before the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal. Ward, who appealed in May 2010, the month after his sentence, will go before a three-member panel of judges with counsel Alfred Seaman. Senior crown counsel Jim Gumpert with the Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service will present the prosecution’s arguments. Ward, who was also found guilty of two charges, was given a two-year concurrent charge for possession of a weapon and a four-year concurrent charge for assault with a weapon. Ward is alleged to have hit Love with a beer bottle and a baseball bat. Ward has appealed last April’s Nova Scotia Supreme Court decision on several grounds. His counsel is arguing the jury should not have heard certain evidence, which, therefore, should have been inadmissible. In documents ﬁled, the defence argues that the trial judge erred by admitting contents of a telephone conversation on Jan. 8, 2007 between Matthew Ward and James Oickle (Ward’s stepfather) in which Matthew said his brother had killed Phillip. As it turned out, Love was kept on life-support in the hospital before taken off life support after sustaining multiple skull fractures. Several of Love’s organs, including his heart, were donated to transplant recipients. Ward is appealing on ﬁve grounds. They include the argument that the second-degree murder charge should have been reduced to manslaughter, because the

Personalized weather forecasts only a click away NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

With a few clicks of a mouse, you can be your own weatherman. Environment Canada beams data from Franktown’s weather station around the world on its website. The data from the past three hours can be viewed on a map, with bands of snow and rain in motion across eastern Ontario. The moving maps allow anyone in the area to ﬁgure out when precipitation is likely to arrive and depart their neck of the woods. While the Weather Network may be able to tell you the Arnprior area has a 40 per cent chance of rain this evening, the Franktown data may indicate the rain will pass your local ball diamond before the scheduled 6 p.m. start of your softball game, or well after your planned evening stroll. Brian Wilhelm, a technical services supervisor with Environment Canada, said the Doppler radar system and its 18-metre mast were installed near Franktown and went online in 2000. The unmanned and automated

equipment in Franktown reports to the Canadian Meteorological Centre in Dorval, Quebec, before making its way onto the Internet. “Doppler radar was installed in the late 1990s as an upgrade across much of the (national) system,” Wilhelm said. Echoes from the electromagnetic pulses sent out by the weather station are received by a dish on site. The data indicates if precipitation is moving away from or towards the station, and how fast. In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the Franktown radar will have acquired thousands of bits of data, sending out a pulse every 0.8 milliseconds. Wilhelm said Franktown was chosen for the station when an older site in Carp was due for an upgrade. “We needed to realign the network,” he said. Franktown was considered a better location than Carp because it can provide radar coverage further to the south, including communities along the St. Lawrence River. Today, the dish that collects reﬂected pulses sits in a brilliant white dome on Gillies Corners Sideroad.

NETWORK COVERAGE Wilhelm said Environment Canada developed the Doppler network using off-the-shelf electronics, and the information gathered is a key part of your daily weather forecast. “The data’s used quite extensively (in forecasts),” he said. Environment Canada’s network of online radar stations includes 26 sites, located where they can best cover the nation’s largest population centres. Outside the areas covered by radar, meteorologists rely on satellite images and the simpler technology of basic weather stations to create forecasts. The high-tech electronics inside the Franktown station gets frequent visits for testing and calibration, but Wilhelm added there’s old-fashioned hardware in need of regular care too. “There are people there every two months and they climb the dome,” Wilhelm said. “They have to grease the gears.”

A local grandmothers group, with members from West Carleton and Arnprior, is hosting a Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Lion King fundraising gala at the National Arts Centre July 14 to help African grannies raising children orphaned by AIDS. The event, being hosted by the Kilimanjaro Grannies, includes dinner, seats to the very ďŹ rst performance of the stage production in Ottawa and a chance to meet the cast and crew after the show. All funds will beneďŹ t the Stephen Lewis Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, which seeks to raise awareness and mobilize support in Canada for African grandmothers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The African theme jumped out at us initially,â&#x20AC;? said Barbara Carriere, a member of the Kilimanjaro Grannies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost the tail end to our story; we began with the dream of climbing Kilimanjaro.â&#x20AC;? In October 2007, a group of six women (GisĂŠle Lalonde MansďŹ eld of Dunrobin, Liza Badham of Fitzroy Harbour, Tina Courier of Arnprior, Barb Carriere from Kanata, Nepeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trudy Stephen and Janet Carriere of Ottawa) realized their dream of climbing Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tallest mountain. Since then they have written a book, Kilimanjaro: A Purposeful Journey, to help raise money and awareness about the struggle of African grandmothers raising grandchildren orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. Carriere said the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal for The Lion King gala is to raise $50,000. However, she also said if people want to attend the event, they have to purchase their tickets by April 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After April 8 then they will

just be general tickets to The Lion King and we will not beneďŹ t,â&#x20AC;? Carriere said. She said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been difďŹ cult promoting the event because it is so far away, but the group is hoping for a large turnout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is going to be huge, an exciting event,â&#x20AC;? said Carriere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping to have a keynote speaker at the dinner, and, of course, this is the ďŹ rst time

that The Lion King is coming to Ottawa.â&#x20AC;? Funds raised help pay for education fees, uniforms, books and other necessities for African children attending school. Due to the AIDS epidemic, many sub-Sahara African children are orphaned; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been estimated that between 40 to 60 per cent of the 13 million AIDS orphans live with their grandmothers.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would be thrilled to have the community come out and support a wonderful cause,â&#x20AC;? said Carriere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Africa they live on $1 a day; for $350 or so a child could haveâ&#x20AC;Śall things necessary to go to school for an entire year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot by our standards.â&#x20AC;? Other fundraising efforts include a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tree of lifeâ&#x20AC;? students in the All Saints Catholic High

Special OFIA recognition for Muzzi, County of Renfrew STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Recognition doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come easily in the forest industry. So says Renfrew County forestry services manager Jeff Muzzi, who was honoured with an Ontario Forest Sector Champion Award in Toronto. Renfrew County and Muzzi were among six individuals and ďŹ ve organizations recognized at the 68th Ontario Forest Industries Association annual general meeting March 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have anyone in the forestry industry say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting special recognition is very special,â&#x20AC;? Muzzi told The Chronicle-Guide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was quite hum-

Renfrew County forestry services manager Jeff Muzzi accepts an Ontario Forest Sector Champion Award from the Ontario Forest Industries Association. bling,â&#x20AC;? said the Tramore resident, who has worked for Renfrew County for

ďŹ ve years, but 35 years as a forester. As a critic of some Ontario forestry regulations or proposed regulations, Muzzi has said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If poor legislation is passed, it can be unpassed. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the angle we have to take. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just throw up your hands and give up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an option.â&#x20AC;? The county has been recognized, partly because of its strong push to have further regulations under the Endangered Species Act â&#x20AC;&#x153;developed in full consultation with the public and stakeholders and supported by socio-economic impact studies, and in accordance with openness and accessibility required under the Planning Act.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This award recog-

sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passionate, and we need that,â&#x20AC;? said Jackson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need people to stand up and say what they believe and not be afraid to feed fact into the debate so policies arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just made in Toronto without consideration of acknowledgement of the negative impact on rural and northern Ontario,â&#x20AC;? he added. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OFIA awards have a special signiďŹ cance as the United Nations General Assembly has declared 2011 the International Year of Forests. This move is intended to raise awareness of sustainable forest management, conservation and sustainable development of all types of forests.

nizes the commitment of our forestry department to the long-term sustainability of our county forests,â&#x20AC;? said Renfrew County Warden Don Rathwell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a history of working with the County of Renfrew and Jeff Muzzi on a variety of issues,â&#x20AC;? said Scott Jackson, OFIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of forestry policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They not only understand the issues, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to stand up for their position that the forests in Ontario are (already) the most sustainable in the world.â&#x20AC;? Muzziâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach is also appreciated, says Jackson, especially given the push by Torontobased interest groups to put more unnecessary restrictions on the forest

Renfrew County United Way is the lead agency behind the new 2-1-1 service that began in this county in January 2011. The provincial government has also thrown ďŹ nancial support behind the service that provides free, conďŹ dential access to information on a wide range of community services, but United Way has also approached the City of Pembroke and the County of Renfrew for funding. More than 10 million Canadians have free access to the service, but not across the entire province. More than 70 per cent of Ontarians currently have 2-1-1 telephone service, while the Ontario government has committed more than $13 million over four years and another $4 million annually to sustain the service.

best ways to start losing weight, said Cotnam. Don’t go out and try to run a marathon tomorrow, though, said Cotnam after having county councillors and staff stand up and do some simple exercises in front of their chairs, exercises one can do from most work stations. But more important exercise markers are what one does when not working. Walk, swim, bike, run, cross-country ski, she suggested. “Whatever. Just do it,” said Cotnam. “The jury is still out on how often and how long,” she added before concluding, “Thirty minutes three to four times weekly is minimal.” It’s also fair to say that exercise works best when done by appointment, she said. “Make an appointment with yourself for regular, daily exercise. Don’t do it because someone is intimidating you. Do it for yourself.” And don’t constantly check the weigh scales, she said. Dietitian Hill also had several tips for those on the weight-loss

steve.newman@metroland.com

Chief paramedic Mike Nolan and Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet have provided encouragement for county councillors to join the Slim Till You Win competition. But the real ammunition, to succeed in the weight-loss event, came from dietitian Judy Hill of the Petawawa Centennial Family Health Centre and community relations co-ordinator Donna Cotnam of Miramichi Lodge. Several of the county councillors could be heard echoing the two women’s advice at the Feb. 23 session of county council during the ensuing lunch break. Slim Till You Win is a weightloss and waist-measurement loss competition between Lanark and Renfrew counties, whose populations have been cited as being overweight and therefore more prone to heart disease. The event, which kicked off in early February, ﬁnishes the last day of April. Aerobic activity is one of the

trail. These included not eating too little. Women should still eat no less than 1,200 to 1,500 calories daily, while men should keep their calorie intake no lower than 1,500 to 1,800, she said. Hill said one also needs to eat a daily breakfast as part of a threemeal daily plan. Nor should some lifestyle changes be suffocating, advised Hill. For example, snacks can be part of a healthy eating plan. “Snacks aren’t the bad guys,” she stressed, advising one to three snacks per day. Hill suggested the use of smaller plates, therefore smaller portions. She also offered guidelines on alcohol and other ﬂuid consumption. Drink eight cups of water daily, choose low-calorie drinks like water and soda water, and restrict alcoholic drinks to one daily per female and two daily per male, she advised. Perhaps the advice of Cotnam and Hill would serve as a “catalyst for getting Renfrew County residents up and moving forward,” said Warden Sweet.

Continued from Page 52 As of February, eastern Ontario’s jurisdictions with 2-1-1 are Ottawa, Kingston, Pembroke, Renfrew County, Frontenac County, and the County of Lennox and Addington. In a presentation to county council Feb. 23, Renfrew County United Way board chairman Mike Wright and Community Information Centre of Ottawa executive director Marie-Andree Carriere, requested funding of $1,000 for this year, and $17,600 each of the next two years, while asking that any agreements be renewed every three years. County Warden Bob Sweet indicated the request would be considered by the social services committee and the ﬁnance and administration committees. The 2-1-1 service was launched through work at the United Way of Atlanta,

53 Georgia. The first Canadian 2-1-1 service came to Toronto in 2001 as a way for Canadians to get better access to information on community services. The call volume in eastern Ontario was 30,423 in 2009, and more than 40,000 last year (before its introduction to Renfrew County). Calls are expected to exceed 60,000 in 2011, said Carriere, whose Community Information Centre staffs the program. There are many reasons for calling 2-1-1. The service, which is available in about 150 languages, was called by 14.8 per cent of callers in 2009 for health reasons. Next were financial assistance (11.6), housing (8.2), community services (7.2), food and meals (6.4), legal and public safety (6.0), municipal government (5.6), and mental health and addictions (4.7). In 2009, 79 per cent of callers said they were satisfied with the information and the referral specialist’s level of knowledge.

There are at least two signs spring is well on its way at the White Lake Marina. The rental ice fishing huts operated by the marina have been moved off the lake and the company is getting ready to welcome the Prior Chestnuts dragon boat for another season. The ice shacks were taken off the lake by March 1 because of fluctuating temperatures and mounting concerns over the quality of the ice. The official ice hut removal date set by the Ministry of Natural Resources for the area is March 15. The marina is operating on an off-season schedule, closing Sundays until May 15. Meanwhile, the ‘Prior Chestnuts and their ‘Kahlua’ dragon boat are back for a second summer on White Lake. The marina supports the team of breast cancer survivors by donating storage, dockage and other services. The Kahlua can be seen in action on the channel in front of the White Lake Marina all summer long during the team’s Monday and Wednesday evening practices. If you’re a breast cancer sur-

vivor, it’s not too late to join the team – call Olga at 613-622-0863. For updates on the many events planned for the lake this summer, keep an eye on the marina’s facebook page, check the website www.whitelakemarina. ca or call 613-623-2568.

Arnprior’s Jaime Asselin, left, recently had a birthday party and made the decision to request food bank donations instead of presents, a decision very much supported by her sister Casey and parents, Mike and Barb Asselin. Both girls are pictured proudly sitting amongst all the donations. As members of the Rumbly Tummy Giving Circle, they will make sure the food is delivered to the food bank. If anyone else should collect food donations, and wish them to be picked up and delivered to the Arnprior Food Bank, please call Corrine at 613623-2416, and the circle will be happy to do it.

Teen Ontario East Pageant set for April 3 in Renfrew PATTI DILLABOUGH Caroline Holley, Miss Teen Ontario East 2010 along with 2010 ﬁrst runner-up Mary Scott and second runner-up Alexandra Leslie of Arnprior are preparing to welcome the Miss Teen Ontario East 2011 delegates to the 2011 Pageant weekend that begins Thursday March 31. Sixteen delegates from across the Eastern Ontario Region will participate in the pageant vying for the 2011 title. Last year there were four Arnprior delegates: Leslie, Karla Belton, Kayla Kucharik and Evelyn Popiel. The delegates will have a tight schedule over the four days of pageant weekend attending rehearsals, preliminary judging, delegate activities and participating in charity functions. The ﬁnale to pageant weekend will be the Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant Sunday, April 3 at 7 p.m. at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. Tickets for the Pageant

are $10 and on sale at BIBA, Renfrew Recreation Centre and Keeping Company. Holley will be crowning her successor, and then she will have a very busy couple of months completing her Grade 12 studies, attending graduation events and then preparing for her trip to the national competition in July. The Miss Teen Ontario East organization is excited to announce that she will be participating in the Miss Teen Canada – World Pageant in Toronto in July as the ofﬁcial Teen Ontario East – World delegate. Helley along with 59 other Teen delegates from across the country meet July 8 and will spend nine fun-ﬁlled and hectic days touring Toronto and the Southern Ontario region, rehearsing and going through a series of preliminary competitions in preparation for the national pageant July 16. In addition to bringing the Teen Ontario East charity focus; Childhood Cancer Awareness to the

national forefront, Holley will also be fundraising for the national charity; Feed the Children. She has committed herself fully to her regional title and The Candlelighters charity, but she has also expanded the Teen Ontario East charities to include; The Organ Donation Society, Do it for Dad for Prostate Cancer, Kids Help Phone, The Kidney Foundation, Relay for Life, Renfrew & Ottawa Food Banks, United Way, Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada, Bonnechere Manor and RVH Foundations, CHEO Foundation, CHEO Oncology Unit, Laft Players and now Feed the Children. The Teen Ontario East organization, comprised of volunteers and charity enthusiasts, is proud of Holley and what she has accomplished over the past year.

# 3946 Sam

# 3949 Sophie

Sam is very silly, and is a fantastic dog with great personality. Sam is a four-year-old neutered male, Boxer/Husky mix. Sam was found wandering and was brought back to the shelter, he was never claimed. He is very easygoing and has a good temperament. He loves other dogs and gets along well with all that he meets. He is an active dog with lots of energy and enjoys going for walks. He’s very small and attentive, he knows his basic obedience commands but would beneﬁt from more training. He is housebroken and crate-trained. Sam is good with cats and older children. Sam will make a great companion for his new family.

This very sweet girl would love to ﬁnd a home. Sophie is a 10-month-old, spayed female German Shepherd mix. She has lots of energy and enjoys playing in the yard and going for walks. She is intelligent and eager to please, but will require some obedience training. Sophie is house broken and crate-trained. She enjoys the company of other dogs, she is great with cats and would be good with children over eight. Sophie is a wonderful dog and will make a great companion for her new family.

During April, Curves of Arnprior will participate in the 13th annual Curves Food Drive to collect non-perishable food and cash donations to benefit the local food bank. Current members who make a $30 donation or an equivalent donation of food are eligible to receive a Curves reusable Food Drive grocery bag. From April 4-17, Curves will waive the membership fee for new members who donate a bag of non-perishable food or make a minimum donation of $30. “Our goal is to top the donation that we made last year,” says Arnprior Curves staffers. “This is a great opportunity for the members of our Curves community to help strengthen the Arnprior community, too. “Everything that our members donate at our club will benefit local families in need.” In addition to the food and monetary donations that each gym collects, Curves International is offering outlets the opportunity to win cash prizes for their local food banks. Prizes will be awarded to clubs with the most food collected, clubs who beat their 2010 donation level by the largest amount and to two randomly selected clubs drawn from all the clubs who enter the contest. Curves clubs have donated more than 27.6 million kilograms of food in the U.S. and Canada since 2004. “The past few years have been difficult for many families,” said Curves founder Diane Heavin. “Curves annual Food Drive is one way that everyone in the Arnprior area can make a real difference for a local family that is struggling.” For more information about Curves of Arnprior, located in the Rona building on Madawaska Boulevard, contact a Curves of Arnprior staff member at 613623-5454 or 97P8S6LK@curvesmail.com.

In honour of

Marilyn I. Werry The family of the late Harold Eugene Salter would like to thank all family, friends, relatives, and kind neighbours for the phone calls, cards, gifts of food, and kind words at this sad and difﬁcult time in their lives. The attendance at the funeral home made us all aware of just how many lives our husband, father, grandfather, brother and dear friend touched. Thanks goes out to all who donated to the Ottawa Heart Institute on Harold’s behalf. God bless you all. A very special thank you goes out to friends Barb and John and neighbours Ian and Lisa for their continued support to Mom since Dad’s passing and before when he was in the hospital. Helen, Debbie, Kathy, Steven, Lori, & their families CL23900

We thank all family and friends who expressed sympathy and kindness, sent cards, ﬂowers, made donations and/or telephoned before and after Marilyn’s death. It has been a stressful time for our family, Werry and Lemon, and we are thankful for so many good friends. Some relatives were unable to attend the funeral because of age, health or distance, Pilon’s Funeral Home has come up with a solution. The entire service was viewed over the Internet. Our Belleville family was thrilled with this new innovation for funeral services.
