It didn’t take long for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke candidates to start campaigning after a federal election was called Saturday.

Canadians are going to the polls in the country’s 41st federal election Monday, May 2. Conservative incumbent Cheryl Gallant, her Liberal challenger Christine Tabbert, and Independent candidate (and former MP) Hec Clouthier actively began their fiveweek campaigns on the weekend.

Gallant was in Arnprior Saturday attending a breakfast at the Legion, while Tabbert took in a home show in Renfrew and canvassed in Arnprior.

The Green Party has nominated economic development advisor Rosanne Van Schie as its candidate while the NDP choose a candidate Saturday.

The election call became inevitable when the Conservative minority government fell last Friday, March 25 after MPs voted 156 to 145 in favour of a non-confidence motion.

Former Arnprior councillor Eric Burton is expected to be named the New Democratic Party federal candidate for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke this Saturday.

As of Wednesday, Burton, 30, was the only declared candidate for the nomination.

Party members will gather at the Cobden Agricultural Hall at 3:30 p.m. April 2 to hold their annual meeting and pick a candidate.

A housing proposal in a densely populated Arnprior neighbourhood met with little resistance at a public meeting held Monday evening.

At 128 Mary St., the

playground of the former Alexander Reid school, a plan is in motion to build eight structures, likely 16 housing units. Developer Waldo Hortichuk also plans for an access way from Edey Street.

No verbal comments were made at the meeting.

However, a written submission raised concerns over increased traffic in the neighbourhood.

Neighbor Link, a nonprofit service group operating from the school, was unaware of the project. It declined comment until its board meets.

Gallant seeking fifth straight election victory STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

For the first time since 2000, voters may have a close election in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.

Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant has been winning by increasing margins since she first took the seat from the Liberals in the 2000 election by about 2,400 votes. By her fourth victory in 2008, she had boosted her vote total to 28,908 and her margin of victory to more than 19,000 votes.

However, that trend could change this time. At least that’s the thinking of many residents who have expressed frustration with Gallant’s February comments about search-and-rescue operations in Newfoundland. Critics called her comments insensitive and uninformed; Prime Minister Stephen Harper called Gallant’s remarks incomprehensible; and Gallant said the media-manufactured event missed the point, namely that efforts are still needed to improve helicopter searchand-rescue response times in Atlantic Canada.

Critics refer to Gallant’s recent comments as another gaffe in a continuing line of inappropriate comments, including ones about abortion and allegedly-homophobic remarks about Liberal MP Bill Graham. Two of Gallant’s biggest critics, understandably, are local opponents, Liberal candidate Christine Tabbert and former local Liberal MP and now Independent candidate Hec Clouthier.

In the 2000 election, Clouthier was upset by then-Alliance candidate Gallant after he alienated voters with his flippant comments about the long-gun registry.

RUNAWAY WINNER IN 2008 Since then, Gallant has been a runaway winner in the riding, compiling some of the country’s highest riding support, including 61.1 per cent in the 2008 election.

“Whatever it is, it’s going to be interesting,” predicted Tabbert of the 2011 election campaign while in Renfrew last Saturday.

“I think it’s going to be a very tough campaign,” Gallant told The ChronicleGuide of the campaign that ends with a May 2 election. “I think the media is exaggerating our numbers in the polls (that shows the Conservatives with a 17-point lead over the Liberals).”

The election was officially underway when Harper visited Governor-General David Johnston to have the 40th sitting of Parliament dissolved. The prime minister’s request came after the Conservatives

became the first national government in the British Commonwealth to be cited for contempt of Parliament. The Conservatives lost the Liberal non-confidence vote 156-145 last Friday.

Harper expressed disappointment at that turn of events, but Clouthier says that’s just posturing, citing the millions of dollars in TV ads the Conservatives have run the last few months. All each party had to do was compromise a bit, to keep Parliament sitting, said Clouthier.

As it was, the dissolution of Parliament came after the longest-running minority government in Canadian history. “Harper put forward a poison-pill budget that didn’t bring down the government, but it would have if the no-confidence vote hadn’t passed,” said Clouthier, 61.

“I believe Harper wanted the election.”

The 50-year-old MP disagrees. “There were no poison pills in that budget, and Prime Minister Harper asked everyone for input, and everyone did provide input, but the Liberals,” insisted Gallant.

“What we do that contrasts with the Liberals is we have kept taxes low. Last year, even though there was a lot of stimulus spending we reduced the deficit by 25 per cent. And if we stay the course in 2011 we’ll reduce it another 25 per cent.”

Meanwhile, the Conservatives are easily the most popular party, according to recent national polls. But those numbers typically change during an election, as the party in power loses a few percentage points, says Clouthier.

But will the Conservatives lose enough seats to make a Liberal minority government possible, or gain a handful to earn a Conservative majority?

In the last federal election, in 2008, the Conservatives won their second straight minority with 143 of 308 seats. The Liberals took 77 seats, Bloc Québecois 49, New Democratic Party 37 and Independents 2.

After knocking on the doors of Renfrew County residents for several months, Tabbert says she’s hearing much more needs to be done by the local MP to create jobs for youth and economic stability for seniors. Support for seniors, said the 38-year-old lawyer, will happen with the help of the Liberals’ family care plan that allows family members to take time off work to look after aging relatives.

Opposition parties accused the Conservative government of flouting the rules of Parliament by refusing to fully disclose the cost of its tough-oncrime agenda, corporate tax cuts and plans to pur-

Workers from Andre Lalonde Construction in Plantagenet install mail boxes next to the Braeside fire hall last Thursday.

Efforts continue to save post office JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

It appears the Braeside post office won’t move to the old municipal building after all.

But there is a chance it could relocate to the Robbins Confectionery store in the village.

The post office was scheduled to close at noon today (Thursday) after Canada Post was given notice to vacate the Leitch building as of March 31.

McNab-Braeside council held a special meeting March 22 to authorize staff to negotiate a lease with Canada Post for the downstairs of the old municipal hall on Centre Street (the fire department uses the upper part).

However, in conversations with Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie, Canada Post officials indicated they weren’t interested in that site, Coun. Brad McIlquham said Tuesday. Instead, they’ve agreed to participate in a meeting Monday with Blimkie and Robbins’ owners Dave and Peter Watson.

“It appears they (Canada Post) prefer main street … and retail space,” said McIlquham. “We feel it (municipal building) could work, but they’re not convinced.”

He said people in the village are concerned they might lose the local service, especially the many busi-

nesses in the area that will have to go into Arnprior to post and collect mail larger than letters.

“It will be inconvenient and timeconsuming,” he said, noting there are at least 150 companies and home-based businesses that depend on the Braeside post office for service.

The concern is that Canada Post would “just have the (community) boxes and be done with it,” he said.

Canada Post spokesman Eugene Knapik told the Chronicle-Guide that the corporation is optimistic that a solution can be found “very soon.”

“I can’t confirm any new space at this time,” he said. “But we’re having discussions.” He pointed out that 375 community mail boxes were installed late last week in front of the old municipal building to ensure continuity of service. Customers can pick up mail there, at least temporarily, he said.

And the rural route delivery is continuing, he stressed.

Canada Post area superintendent Paul Desforges sent out letters to all Braeside post office customers last week to alert them of the March 31 closure.

Until Canada Post considers its options for permanent relocation, the full range of postal products and services will be available at the Arnprior Post Office, he wrote.

With the community mailboxes installed at 912 Centre St., “you can pick up your mail, receive parcels and post mail 24 hours a day,” he added.

Customers received a set of keys and information on module and compartment numbers along with the letter.

Desforges stressed that “your mailing address is not changing” and urged customers to continue to use their current mailing address and lock box number.

“Thank you for your co-operation during this transition. We assure you of our commitment to provide you with the best possible postal service,” he concluded.

He suggested anyone with questions should call 613-623-7704.

McIlquham said he updated Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant on the situation at a Legion breakfast in Arnprior Saturday. While she raised the matter with the minister in charge of the post office last week, now the election is called there is little she can do, he said.

“So we’re caught … until after the election … but at least we’ve kept them in the loop,” he said.

McIlquham said the Braeside post office provides a valuable service for the area and caters to more people than many of the other rural post offices in the region.

Man with axe startles driver

An Arnprior man is facing assault with a weapon charges after a female driver reported being menaced by a man with an axe March 27.

Renfrew OPP report that the man used his vehicle to block a road and approached a stopped vehicle with the axe.

The incident took place on River Road in Horton at about 7:10 p.m.

The female motorist reported a male driving a pick-up truck pulled out from a driveway and blocked the road in front of her. He then exited his vehicle and approached her in a threatening fashion with an axe.

She drove off the road around his vehicle and escaped, reporting the incident afterwards.

Work continues this week on the new roof at the Arnprior Legion Branch 174. Teenagers have started a scam related to the roughly $35,000 project.

“We don’t want to discourage people from donating. We really appreciate what they’ve done so far,” he said. “But we can’t have this sort of thing going on.”

UPDATE At press time, an or-

ganizer for a Food Bank fundraiser to be held April 8 at the Legion, contacted the Chronicle-Guide to distance his group from possible scam artists.

Jeff Godin has young people and some high school students going door to door selling tickets to the Food Bank fundraiser.

The $10 tickets are also available at Jim’s Restaurant.

The man was located a short time later. The victim and accused did not know one another.

The 32-year-old Arnprior was charged with assault with a weapon and released on an appearance notice for Renfrew court April 27.

OPP Constable Hayley Chaplin investigated.

DOMESTIC DISPUTES

Renfrew OPP officers responded to four domestic disputes last week. One man was charged with two counts of assault and another was charged with mischief to property, uttering threats and two counts of assault.

If two teenage boys about 15 or 16 years old knock on your door claiming to collect money for the Legion, don’t give them any.

It’s a scam.

Reeve Walter Stack, a member of Arnprior Legion Branch 174, was none too pleased when he got a call from someone saying teens were asking for $20 to help pay for the service organization’s new roof in exchange for a $10 gift certificate to Jim’s Restaurant.

“This is not a sanctioned fundraiser event from the Legion,” Stack said. “We would never go door to door. Usually it’s a donation bucket for events at the branch.”

Jim’s Restaurant owner John Karadakis was surprised to learn of the scam.

“I don’t have any idea about that,” Karadakis said. “They’ve collected money (from the restaurant) to fix the roof, but that was something different all together.”

Stack is concerned the scam could disrupt genu-

Continued from front The party’s constitution allows candidates to be nominated from the floor of the meeting.

The retired secretarytreasurer of the Ontario Federation of Labour, Ethel LaValley of Whitney had filed papers indicating she was running for the nomination, but illness in the family has prompted her to withdraw.

Sue McSheffrey, who has represented the NDP in the past three elections, said she will not run this time.

The nominating meeting will follow a forum on agriculture organized by the party a couple of months ago.

Burton, who at age 25 was elected to Arnprior council in 2006, says Michael Ignatieff and the Liberals are part of the problem in Ottawa.

“For two years Michael Ignatieff has given Stephen Harper a free pass − without getting anything in return for Canadians,” said Burton in a news release.

“He thinks we won’t notice that his record and his words don’t match. He voted time and again to give

ERIC BURTON corporate tax handouts to banks and oil companies and keep Stephen Harper in power.”

In contrast, Burton argues that businesses in the Ottawa Valley are driven by a hard working and educated work force, natural resources, and stable democratic institutions. “That is why it is so important that we make protecting and developing these assets our economic priorities,” he said.

Burton, a father of three, said he decided to run after being inspired by NDP leader Jack Layton’s leadership in bringing forward concrete budget proposals that could help Canadians in tough economic times.

“Jack’s record speaks for itself,” said Burton. “He’s always put practical results for Canadians ahead of partisan politics in Ottawa. He has proven to be someone you can trust to work with others to tackle problems and find solutions. “ Burton was born and raised in Arnprior, where he grew up playing hockey and golf throughout the valley.

His family has deep roots in the Arnprior area, where he has been an active member of the community as an athlete, volunteer and community leader.

During his council term he championed sustainable economic development through investment readiness, entrepreneur mentorship and supporting small businesses.

He is the founder and cochair of the Greater Arnprior Environmental Action Council and an active member of the Arnprior Optimist Club.

After serving one term on Arnprior council, Burton ran for reeve in last October’s election and finished a close second to Walter Stack.

Father Jack Lau at the Galilee Centre found his Boy Scouting skills challenged during Earth Hour on March 26. Without an accelerant, it was tough to get the fire going. Eventually, however, kids got their roasted marshmallows.

Photo by Derek Dunn

A small but enthusiastic group of some 12 people came out to the Galilee Centre Saturday night to celebrate the Earth and neighbourliness.

A bonfire with marshmallows for the kids, along with hot chocolate indoors, kept the participants warm under the starry night sky.

Father Jack Lau, who took over the spiritual retreat complex about two years ago, doesn’t mention the environmental movement or reducing carbon footprints when he talks about Earth Hour.

Sure, during the fifth year of the event, a billion people around the world turned their lights off and spent 60 minutes reflecting on and showing gratitude toward Mother Nature. But that isn’t Father Jack’s priority.

“It’s a time to become more connected to your neighbours,” he said. “It’s about being with your kids around a small bonfire.

Some young kids might not even know what a bonfire is.”

To the cynics who say participating in Earth Hour won’t save the world, Father Jack says it was never intended to do so. Nor is it about environmental fear mongering.

Earth Hour is about conscious raising, he said, and basing actions on goodwill and love.

among us are the rich and powerful,” he said.

“Canada’s strength is its stable institutions, natural resources, and educated workforce. That’s why corporations are here, not for the tax cuts.”

Burton and his wife Mandi, as members of the Arnprior Environmental Action Council, are the primary organizers behind the annual Earth Day Festival. It will take place April 16. Some downtown streets will blocked off, and events such as face painting and bouncing rooms for the kids will be in place, along with booths displaying educational information pertaining to the environment.

“We don’t save the world out of fear,” Father Jack said. “The seeds of fear lead to fear. If you plant respect, along with the seeds of communication, love will grow.”

Also at Earth Hour was former Arnprior councillor and likely federal NDP candidate Eric Burton, along with two of his three children.

He is keen to implement his party’s environmental platform, but also spoke in broad terms about how poorly Renfrew has been represented by incumbent Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant.

“They want to give tax breaks to the biggest corporations. How is that going to help people in this riding? How many

Greg Pietersma Chair

The Ontario budget introduced by the Liberal government Tuesday sets the scene for the Oct. 6 provincial election.

The Liberals are heralding the budget as good for the economy.

It outlines new investments to create jobs, help farmers, support new spaces in colleges and universities, expand breast cancer screening, improve mental health services for children, enhance pharmacy services and cut some public sector CEO salaries by 10 per cent.

Opposition Progressive Conservatives, including RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski, called the budget out of touch with Ontario families, a complaint echoed by the NDP. In a news release, Yakabuski maintains the budget offers no relief for families struggling to make ends meet. The Liberals continue to raise taxes and increase government spending instead of putting money “back in the hands of Ontario families so they can spend on their priorities, and not the government’s,” as the Conservatives would do, he said.

He charged that if re-elected the Liberals will continue their pattern of raising taxes after the election. “Dalton McGuinty will say just about anything to get reelected, but Ontario families are tired of being disrespected with broken promises. Dalton McGuinty is not fooling anyone,” said Yakabuski.

NDP leader Andrea Horwath said the budget shows the Liberals are out of touch with the pressures facing Ontario families.

“The premier says he’s turning a corner, but most families feel like they’ve been left by the side of the road while he drives by,” she is quoted as saying.

Instead of “giving away” corporate tax incentives, the budget should have contained help for families coping with job losses and high electric bills, Horwath said.

PC leader Tim Hudak warned that if history is any indicator, the spending increases in Tuesday’s “pre-election budget” will

Police seize drugs from home A couple is facing drug possession charges after a police raid in a McNab-Braeside home March 24.

Members of the OPP Drug Enforcement Unit (Project Paradigm), along with members of the Emergency Response Team, Canine Unit, and members from the Renfrew and Arnprior OPP detachments served a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act Warrant at the River Road residence.

Cocaine and marijuana were seized from the home by police and a 28-year-old man and a 24year-old woman were taken into custody.

They face possession of cocaine, possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of cannabis marijuana charges.

The couple was released with a promise to appear June 1 in Renfrew court.

The government is also investing in a comprehensive mental health and addictions strategy, starting with children and youth.

The Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) said the budget stays the course on minimized spending, but does little to speed up the economic recovery.

“We had hoped to see more targeted measures for manufacturers, but we commend the government for its ongoing fiscal restraint,” said CME vicepresident Ian Howcroft.

The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) maintains the budget could have done much more for families struggling to stay afloat if the government didn’t hand over $4 billion to already-profitable corporations.

The government’s plan to cut another 1,500 public sector jobs will compound an already existing crisis in the public service, said OFL secretarytreasurer Marie Kelly.

be followed by new tax increases after the election if the Liberals are re-elected.

However, the Liberals point out they eliminated the $5.5 billion deficit inherited from the Mike Harris/Ernie Eaves Conservative governments and delivered three balanced budgets before incurring a deficit when the global recession hit.

In the budget, the Liberals say they have laid out a “realistic and responsible plan” to eliminate the deficit by 2017-18 at a faster rate than they previously projected.

While doing so, they plan to invest more than $35 billion in infrastructure, including $12.8 billion in 2011-12, to create and preserve more than 300,000 jobs.

The deficit for 2010-11 is projected to be $16.7 billion, which is $3 billion lower than outlined in the 2010 budget, mainly due to a $2.6 billion drop in program expenses.

Among the key elements of the budget are money to support clean energy manufacturers and for implementation of a new risk management program for cattle, hog, sheep and veal farmers, which is gaining praise from some farm groups.

Through the Open Ontario plan announced in the budget, the government says it will ensure a college or university space is available for every qualified Ontario student by creating more than 60,000 additional spaces by 2015-16. The government’s goal is to raise the province’s postsecondary attainment rate to 70 per cent.

However, critics argued that creating more spaces won’t help if students can’t afford to enroll in the courses.

The budget also includes $44 million over three years for literacy and basic skills programs and $22.5 million in 2011-12 for a job strategy that will help more than 100,000 students access jobs and services this summer.

The budget also includes an additional $15 million over the next three years to expand the breast screening program to reach high risk women between the ages of 30 and 49 and support additional exams for women aged 50 to 69.

No big surprise

No truth, no consequences

After months of running television election ads, the Conservative Party of Canada has finally got the election they wanted.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is thirsting for a majority.

Of course, it took pushing the Speaker of the House to rule the Conservative Party in contempt of Parliament for failing to provide vital information to pull out the straw that broke the camel’s back. So on Monday, May 2 we head to the polls.

For openers, let’s call a spade a spade.

Do we want a spring federal election – no.

Do we need a spring federal election – yes.

This minority parliament has proven that it’s dysfunctional, and it has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that it cannot work in its current form.

Now the spin doctors are trying to place blame for the election squarely in the laps of the federal Opposition parties.

But anyone who watches television knows better. Big Conservative bucks have already been spent on a flurry of attack ads against Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, and big taxpayers’ dollars used to sell the Conservative’s Economic Action Plan to Canadians.

During the campaign, the truth will be aired.

And it will, hopefully, be made clear exactly who has been wooing who all these years, and in the years leading up to the Conservative-Reform-Alliance merger.

The strategy of making the definition of coalition the focus of this campaign is a pretty shrewd attempt to deflect attention away from the real issues. But will Canadians bite?

Elections matter because they are a forum to deal in reality – a temporary pause in the incessant nastiness that we call the House of Commons these days.

And in the end, most voters are sharper than most politicians give them credit for.

To rephrase an old saying goes, we were all born – but it wasn’t yesterday.

A key debate will be on the economy – a good time to discuss how Canada was able to enter the recession in such good financial standing and how the “cushion” past Tory parties chided as unnecessary surplus eventually came in pretty darn handy. Whatever happened to giving credit where credit is due? In politics, it doesn’t exist.

Full of sound and fury?

To the editor: In my last contribution to our local newspaper, I promised to be quiet; but there are times when one must arise above principle, and ‘go for it!’

This is such a time!

The writ has been dropped, and the Canadian public will rise again to do due diligence to our democratic process and go to the polls in an election, that many people think is unnecessary.

Constitutional wrangling is one thing ... reality is another.

There are times when due diligence can be realized without it becoming a farce, but not this time. Farce sometimes, actually rises above principle.

Elections cost a lot of money to conduct. Political parties do not fund them. Perhaps, if they did, they might get down off their ‘high horses’ and actually ride a honest race.

Who pays the $22,000,000 for this entertaining extravaganza?

It is you and me! It amounts to $10,000 for each city, town, village and hamlet in this country of ours.

Money is tight ... and we, as taxpayers, feel the effect of it every day.

Having said that, I am driven to ask myself who are these people who are acting out these thespian

roles at our expense? I watch it, and it is, in my humble opinion, a grade ‘B’ movie! All of the political parties are insulting my intelligence ... I actually resent it!

So I have come up with my version of the ‘academy awards.’ Why? Because I, like most of you, are actually interested in our national political stage, and we are not ‘shills’ in acting roles.

So here are my nominees for best actor on the Canadian political stage as we go into this display of ‘lunacy.’

For best actor: Stephen Harper for his role in ‘Lassie Come Home’; Jack Layton for his role in ‘The way We Were’; Gilles Duceppe in his role in ‘The Hunt for Red October’; and Michael Ignatieff for his role as the Joker in ‘Batman’.

For the rest of them in this second rate theatrical satirical, enrol in the Canadian Theatrical Academy, because you all need a refresher in what acting and politics really is all about.

Those who are not running, whoever they are, I applaud and thank them for their audition and broadway run. They probably just got tired of the ‘cartoons.’

To the editor: I wanted to share this story with you and your readers because it has been bothering me for some time and I wanted to share this with others so they are cautious with whom they trust their personal belongings with.

My youngest (whom this story is about) just celebrated her birthday this past week.

Technology is evolving at an alarming rate, and it’s hard for parents to keep up with all the latest technology. My daughter had been hinting for quite some time to get her a laptop. She’s even gone into lengthy speeches in regards to convincing me it would benefit her in many ways, keeping in touch with me in the hospital, homework and helping the environment were her main topic discussions.

So the more I thought about it, the more I understood where she was coming from and she had some pretty valid points.

I am a single mom with two amazing daughters, so you can imagine how tight money can be at times, especially as I am currently not working due to some health issues, and surgeries.

However I managed to save some money.

After months of researching what the best brand would be in my price range, I found her an Acer Inspire laptop that was on sale that had a built-in camera.

In December of 2009 I was going in for surgery and was looking for someone to install some software onto her new laptop, so that she could stay in touch with me while I was in the hospital during the holidays.

At that time an acquaintance of mine offered her boyfriend’s assistance in getting the laptop ready for her. Most of her Christmas presents revolved around her laptop.

I gave my acquaintance the laptop to bring to her boyfriend so that he could start the process of getting the laptop all set up.

I waited until after Christmas so that I would not interrupt their holidays to pick it up. I was then informed that he could not set it up, that he would be bringing it to a friend to get him to finish what needed to be done.

In the meantime my daughter was impatiently waiting to try out all the cool new accessories that she received as gifts.

A couple of weeks later I tried calling the couple so that I could make arrangements to pick the laptop up, I was told that they would drop it off to me.

My daughter was ecstatic to be able to finally use her new laptop and everything she got for it.

However, after a couple more weeks and we still didn’t have it, See ‘DAUGHTER DEVASTATED’ Page 9

Continued from Page 8 I started leaving them numerous messages on the phone and computer, but to no avail. I never received any call backs or replies.

At this point I decided to check out pawn shops, and they suggested that I speak to the police.

Finally in mid April I had to contact the police to see what I could do to get the laptop back.

I went into the police station and spoke with one of the officers and he said he “would do what he could to help me out.”

After that I spoke with the officer a couple of times and finally the couple returned my messages.

The officer suggested that we set up some sort of payment plan to recover the cost of the laptop, cause he had no idea what happened to it and no clue where it was.

I had written up an arrangement that allowed the gentleman to make payments for a discounted price of the laptop so that we could put this behind us.

After the first payment I should have known it wasn’t going to go smoothly. He told me that he would be giving me $60 and showed up with only $20.

I had to constantly remind him to meet me so that I could receive money and make it that one step closer to putting this behind me.

However there was always an excuse as to why he didn’t show,

call, message me or have the money that was promised.

At this point my daughter was devastated. Her birthday gift was missing and her Christmas gifts were not of any use to her without the laptop.

The police officer charged the man with theft, so we thought that soon enough something would be done.

Until a couple of months later the police officer showed up at my door to tell me that the judge dismissed the case before hearing the story cause it was something that needed to be taken to small claims court.

My daughter cried for weeks and still brings it up to this day.

Unfortunately she now knows the harsh reality of life.

The last I heard from the guy was in June and from his girlfriend in July. It is now March and she just celebrated another birthday and still has no laptop.

I am so disgusted that someone could do that to another person let alone a child.

We received a total of $60, no apology and he had no consequences for his actions.

I am out hundreds of dollars, which took me months to save, and my daughter has no laptop.

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t lose any sleep at night knowing what he did, but I know we do.

Looking for seeds? Will that be one bag or two?

Like many of you, I feed birds in my backyard.

Although my feeders are not that close to the house, on occasion a bird flies into a window.

The various devices stuck to the glass, such as fake spider webs, usually alert a bird in sufficient time for it to avoid a collision, but on occasion a bird glances off the glass and flies off with hopefully little more than a headache.

On rare occasions, an unfortunate bird fails to survive the impact.

Recently I noticed a small feather adhering to the glass of an upstairs window. When I looked

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way through the window, I thankfully could see no evidence of a fatal collision.

Then I noticed a group

of white millet seeds lying in a small pile on the outside window ledge.

I first thought a bird had stashed them there, but later I realized that this must have been a result of the collision.

The same little fellow that left behind a feather, likely a Common Redpoll, must have been carrying a load of seeds when it struck the glass.

Before going to roost for the night, many finches (the group to which redpolls belong) load up with seeds, which are digested as the birds sleep.

The seeds are carried in their crop, a swelling of the upper oesophagus.

Birds that eat a lot of seeds, such as finches and grouse, have well-developed crops.

Birds that devour flesh, such as hawks and owls, have small, underdeveloped crops.

From what I could deduce, the little bird sat on the ledge and dropped its load, undoubtedly right after the impact.

As there was no little corpse lying on the ground below, it gave me hope that the bird did indeed survive and fly away to eat again another day.

Later that morning I watched an Eastern Chipmunk picking up seeds from an outside bench that

also doubles as a bird feeder. I load the bench seat with white millet seeds, the same type I found piled on the window ledge.

Behaving not unlike a living Shop Vac, the chipmunk seemed to inhale the freshly placed seeds.

As the millet vanished into its mouth, I noticed that both of the Chipmunk’s cheeks were starting to bulge out.

When the seeds were gone and its cheeks so swollen that the chipmunk looked like Dizzy Gillespie blowing his trumpet with all his might, it ran off and vanished into an underground den.

It then struck me that

these two unrelated animals were using very different parts of their bodies for the same purpose.

The unseen bird had used its internal digestive tract to carry seeds while the mammal employed its extremely extensible cheek pouches to do the same thing.

Both were using body parts as shopping bags to carry off food that would be later enjoyed.

However, for both animals there was no need to ask whether they needed one bag or two!

ANNOUNCEMENT

St. Joseph’s High School A fisher in a tree along the Macnamara Trail in Arnprior didn’t appear happy that Russell Corbett was taking his photograph.

Seeing a fisher on the trail was a thrill

To the editor:

Mammals of Ontario state: “For the lucky naturalist, meeting a fisher is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Well, we certainly had that opportunity and then some.

To be able to photograph this elusive predator within the town of Arnprior was a thrill.

Its main diet of porcupine, squirrels, rabbits, muskrat and grouse may include domestic cats and dogs.

With natural forested areas such as Macnamara trails and old growth Gilles Grove and a rebound of the numbers of fishers, it’s not surprising to witness

these amazing animals of the weasel family.

On the topic of domestic dogs and cats, the Macnamara Field Naturalist organization wishes to remind the public that dogs are not permitted on the Macnamara trail network, and with the presence of such a predator, this is added incentive to keep dogs and cats out of that trail network.

It is natural for dogs, should they pick up an animal scent, to charge off, causing stress for the animal and the dog owner alike, when their dog gets lost.

Several fundraisers planned for military run JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

promote awareness of the run and accept donations.

On Friday, April 15, the Prior Sports Bar will hold its second annual evening in support of the run from 6 p.m. on. “It was packed last year … everyone had lots of fun,” said local fundraising co-ordinator Lynn Grinstead.

She said there will be many door prizes, including golf packages, and a 50-50 draw with all proceeds going to the run. The community and local businesses are providing “great support” with donations of prizes, she added.

Arnprior will be a major supporter of the Run for Military Families again this year.

In the lead-up to the fourth annual run, which will go from Ottawa to Petawawa May 5-6, there will be at least two major events and Giant Tiger and McDonald’s campaigns in Arnprior raising awareness and money for the run.

The two-day, 200-km run, organized by the Commissionaires Ottawa in partnership with CFB Petawawa and Canadian Forces Support Unit in Ottawa, will support both the Petawawa and Connaught (Ottawa) Military Family Resource Centres this year.

Since the run started in 2008, $115,000 has been raised to help military families cope.

Giant Tiger stores throughout the Valley from Ottawa to Petawawa, including Arnprior, will support the run by collecting funds from April 1 to 17. Anyone donating $1 or more will have their name placed on the wall on a paper icon.

On Wednesday, April 13, the Bergeron family’s McDonald’s restaurants in the Valley will donate 10 cents from every cup of coffee sold between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. Lead runners, local politicians and other dignitaries will be on hand at the restaurants, including Arnprior’s, to help

Continued from Page 13 On Saturday, April 23, Arnprior will host, for the first time, a benefit dance in support of the military run, featuring local band Catalyst.

“It’s the Easter weekend and a lot of the kids will be home looking for something to do … so we’re hoping for a large crowd,” said Grinstead.

“Everyone loves Catalyst.”

She said there will also be “tons of door prizes” and another 50-50 draw to raise money for the cause.

Tickets (cash only) will be available at the Nick Smith Centre, Pebbles in the Arnprior Shopping Centre and at the Gallery Gift shop.

She reports the Arnprior Legion and the Town of Arnprior are again planning a rousing welcome for the runners when

they come through town on Thursday, May 6 about 1 p.m.

Donation buckets will be available during the welcome for people to make contributions.

Close to 1,000 people, many of them students, greeted the runners at Legion Park when they arrived last year.

There will also likely be a barbecue again for the runners and supporters at

the Braeside R.A. Centre later on in the afternoon.

The Arnprior Legion will provide a dinner in honour of the runners.

A new website has been set up for the event this year at www.runformilitaryfamilies.ca.

The run is also on Facebook at www. facebook.ca/runformilitaryfamilies and Twitter @RUNfmf.

NHLer joins Arnprior in fight against heart disease SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

For many on the ice at the Nick Smith Centre this weekend at Arnprior’s third annual Hockey for Heart tournament, it was a very personal cause.

From recreation director Glenn Arthur, whose life was saved by an Automated External Defibrillator while he played hockey in North Baby several years ago, to tournament creator Rob Weir, who saw his father, Roger, suffer a massive heart attack and die while playing in a shinny hockey game, heart disease has affected many of those around us.

The same is true for retired NHL player Marcel Dionne, who played on a team of former professionals who faced off against the tournament’s top fundraisers in a fun Saturday evening game. Shaun Van Allen and Doug Smith were also among the former NHLers.

Dionne was pleased to be able to help out and raise funds for such an important cause.

When he got the call from Weir, he was excited to get on board.

“My ex-teammate Jay Wells had a heart attack when he was just 49 years old,” said Dionne.

“You just never know.”

He was impressed with the format of the tournament in which teams play three games and are involved in a variety of fun activities while raising funds for the charity.

“I like the concept, it’s a great way to raise money,” he said.

“It’s just for fun.”

It was his first time in the Arnprior area and he enjoyed his visit, making note of the restored storefronts in the downtown.

He makes his home in Niagara Falls and elsewhere and works at his sports marketing company with his son and daughter.

Marcel still gets out on skates regularly and was not daunted by the task at hand as Saturday evening’s game approached.

“I’ll put it this way – I won’t

be the slowest guy out there,” he said.

Marcel’s son Garrett Dionne, a former WHA2 player, joined his father for the game.

“I’m 30 and he’s going to make me look bad,” quipped Garrett.

GRAND TOTAL The third annual Arnprior event raised more than $22,000, a total praised by Heart and Stroke Foundation official and tournament organizers.

Colbert earns promotion The Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League have called up Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Will Colbert to help them in their battle for a playoff spot.

Colbert had been playing for the East Coast Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gwinnett Gladiators, an afďŹ liate of the Wolves and the Atlanta Thrashers of the National Hockey League. The Wolves are tied for fourth in the tight Western Conference of the AHL. Colbert has earned 12 points (6 goals, 6 assists) in 58 games this season with Gwinnett. He has also posted 24 penalty minutes with the Gladiators The Arnprior native split last season between the ECHL Kalamazoo Wings and the Worcester Sharks of the American Hockey League. He recorded one assist in 19 AHL game in Worcester and earned nine points (4-5) in 37 games with Kalamazoo.

Colbert skated four seasons with St. Francis Xavier University in Canada.

He earned 53 points (12-41) in his collegiate career.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound defenseman was drafted twice, as he was ďŹ rst selected in the seventh round of the 2003 NHL draft by the Ottawa Senators with the 228th overall pick and then again in the 2005 NHL draft by the San Jose Sharks with the 183rd overall pick in the eighth round.

Best ďŹ shing in Canada?

Arnprior has been nominated as the best place to ďŹ sh 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.

A story in our March 24 edition contained a link to the site but we have since learned of a more direct link at www.wfnďŹ shingtown. ca/town/arnprior-on/1395.

But he expects more. He boldly predicts that the world record largest muskie will be caught in the Ottawa River in the future.

Craig says the Ottawa River is rated number one in the world for muskie, thanks in part to the U.S. ďŹ shing out many of its own lakes and rivers, and because zebra mussels are harming the muskie habitat in the St. Lawrence River.

And although heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caught many muskie, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never tasted one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We practice catch-and-release,â&#x20AC;? says Craig.

If you think Ottawa River muskie are big, you should see the Ottawa Valley Muskie Club plans for 2011.

Club founder Bill Craig notes a growing membership of more than 30, including several women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done,â&#x20AC;? he said.

In its sophomore season, the club plans to host another kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day when experienced an-

glers teach children the casting techniques to catch the elusive muskellunge.

And the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) tournament will return to the White Pine Festival Aug. 27 and 28.

Last year the event raised $1,000.

Craig said the community-oriented group will also be at the Spring Fishing Show at the Carp Fairgrounds again this year from April 8 to 10.

Craig landed last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OVMC record catch, which was 54-inches and 40 pounds.

Killing with kindness – allowing obesity in dogs Very recently the Arnprior and District Humane Society had a dog brought in as a stray that was the second in second months to arrive morbidly obese.

This time it is an absolutely sweet-natured, happy little Pomeranian, which should be around 12 to 15 pounds, but instead it tipped the scales at 30 pounds.

“It breaks the hearts of the ladies who work at the humane society so tirelessly, for something so preventable,” said Val Hemphell of the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

“Not only is it again going to be costly with vet bills, but placing it in foster care for the length of time needed to help it lose

weight is emotionally draining to the care family.

“I hear, as an investigator with the OSPCA, all sorts of excuses, like, ‘he’s so happy’, ‘ohh, but he wants the tidbits’, and the best one is,’ we love him’,” said Hemphill.

“Giving a pet a healthy, happy life, with the proper food and exercise is love, not tidbits and scraps from the table with little to no exercise is not,” she stressed.

Hemphill pointed out that the primary causes of obesity can be the same as for humans, overfeeding and lack of exercise.

When the regular caloric intake exceeds the energy burned, the excess is stored as fat, she explained.

As little as one per cent calor-

Springtime and pet adoptions: be sure to be smart IAN STUPP Pet Talk

Most of us adopt on impulse without much thought to the needs of the pet. I hear it all the time: my kids want a puppy, my kids just fell in love with their friend’s puppy, I promised the children when they’re old enough we will adopt one, or it’s

so cute I couldn’t resist.

First of all, most of the time children lose interest and mom and dad with their busy schedules end up looking after the newly adopted pet or worse, after a trial and error period the new addition finds itself at a shelter (sometimes for the second or third time).

ic intake can result in a 25 per cent increase over the ideal body weight by middle age.

She noted that although some cases of obesity are from thyroid or pituitary dysfunction, these can be addressed properly by regular visits to the vet.

“The saddest thing is what it can do to the animal you ‘love’,” said Hemphill. She said that obesity can cause the following and potentially fatal ailments: heart disease, decreased liver function, musculoskeletal diseases, respiratory problems, gastrointestinal disorders, and stress on bones, joints and tendons.

“Even little ‘lap dogs’ like this one (Pomeranian), who has months of rehab to go through, need to get out of the ‘designer’ purses and off the laps of well-

Continued from Page 22 What would be better for you: adopting a mature pet that has all the vaccinations, is toilet-trained and has had all the little quirks worked out?

Or do you adopt a young pet that will need guidance in its formidable years and a whole lot of patience?

The simple way of ruling out future problems is to adopt smart.

For example, if you live in an apartment adopt a small less active pet like a kitten or cat or a small dog that does not bark instead of a large dog that requires a lot of room and attention.

If you want a pet but work 12-hour shifts or are away from the house for long periods at a time, perhaps you should not be looking at adopting until your situation changes or adopt a mature cat that you know is litter box trained and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t destroy your home while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away.

Lathem regales farmers, Lions SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

CJOH television reporter Catherine Lathem is not a farmer, but she loves telling their stories.

Lathem was guest speaker at Arnprior Lions Club Farmers Night March 24, addressing a packed crowd at the Masons hall who joined the Lions for dinner and refreshments.

Lathem’s father did grow up on a farm in Carp so she’s no stranger to the barnyard.

She remembers having a pet cow named Betsy and learning about the food chain very early.

“I could bring her hay and she would come and I could pet her,” said Lathem.

Lathem was about seven years old when one day she noticed Betsy was missing. She inquired and was surprised by the response.

“They told me ‘Oh honey, we had Betsy for dinner.’ That’s when I knew I was never going to be a farmer,” she laughed.

Lathem talked about her career, which has encompassed all kinds of stories, from covering the Queen’s visit to Ottawa Senators hockey games to the horrific crimes of Russell Williams.

Max Keeping, Carolyn Waldo, Terry Marcotte and the gang at CJOH make work fun, said Lathem.

“It’s such a blast to work there,” she said. She feels privileged to have learned from Keeping, who she called her mentor. “He’s such a huge member of the community,” she said.

She has enjoyed working with the network and getting to meet some of the top personalities. “The first time Lloyd Robertson says your name is pretty cool,” she said.

Lathem recounted her first job in radio in Parry Sound when the an-

Neufeld’s sessions: two free, one not Dr. Gordon Neufeld will be presenting two free presentations for parents and professionals on ‘Relationship Matters’. However, his sold-out April 4 presentation in Ottawa is not free, as erroneously indicated in last week’s Chronicle-Guide.

Neufeld is giving a free presentation in Ottawa April 6, sponsored by the Catholic School Parent’s Association and St. Patrick’s School Council. Go to www.ottawacspa.ca to register. The other free session is being held in Renfrew at RCI on Thursday, April 7. For more info, call 1-800-465-1870 (press 0).

Photo by Sherry Haaima nouncer she’d been shadowing threw her into the thick of things with a surprise suggestion that she read the 5:30 newscast.

Things were going alright until she encountered the word Penetanguishene and stumbled, big time.

“I’m in a town I’ve never been in before, it’s my first job and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen that word is that day,” said Lathem.

She thrust the script at the announcer and bolted, much to the amusement of listeners in the small community.

Also amusing to community members, especially ladies working at the bank where she deposited her pay cheques was the salary.

“No wonder they can’t keep anyone at that radio station,” one teller confided.

Her radio experiences helped propel her to head back to school for her television training and she landed her first job in Kingston.

Another funny story arose when she was working there as weekend anchor

and the teleprompter, operated by a foot pedal, malfunctioned. Lathem hadn’t kept her notes together as she had been instructed and was shuffling and pumping the pedal in vain.

When she returned that evening to her apartment building, which was populated largely by seniors, they were happy to see that she was alright.

“We thought you were having a stroke,” they told her.

Lathem said she is very pleased to have moved back to the area – she lives in Arnprior.

“I really wanted to get here, being a Carp girl,” she said. “This is awesome, I get to come back here working on stories in my own community.”

Lions Club members were extremely pleased with how the evening went.

Farmers night chair Bob Bennett organized the event along with wife Lion Brenda, who addressed the crowd.

“Thanks everybody for coming out,” said Brenda. “What a phenomenal turnout – there’s more than we really expected.”

Paige related her struggles since suffering a brain tumour several years ago and told the assembly about her school’s successful Relay for Life events over the last four years.

ADHS student council members made a presentation in which they lamented the effects of cancer with their backs to the audience. Then they turned around to express their resolution that cancer can be beaten.

They told the audience that if enough money was donated that afternoon, one of their members, Curtis McGrath, would

have his head shave. Just over was $200 was contributed, and off went McGrath’s hair.

The ADHS relay will run from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. June 3-4.

Students and staff invite those who have battled cancer and survived it to join them that evening. There will be a victory lap of cancer survivors to start the relay.

There will be live entertainment and food will be provided.

Registration forms may be picked up at the ADHS front office. The registration fee is $15. This includes a Relay for Life t-shirt and a luminary.

# 3946 Sam

# 3917 Buddy

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.

Buddy was brought to the shelter because his owner’s were no longer able to keep him.

He is a very large handsome boy, that would love to find a new home. Buddy is a great cat, he is independent and friendly. Buddy needs to find a home where he is the only pet. He is very social and outgoing but really needs his own space. Unfortunately Buddy has to live in a cage while he is here at the shelter, which is difficult for him because of his size. He will make a great new friend for his new home.

Supplies the shelter needs: liquid laundry soap, paper towels, window cleaner, large woolen dog, blankets

Arnprior schools score well in report card Deal for county early JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

The controversial Fraser Institute ratings of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elementary schools tend to bring good news for Arnprior area schools.

Both Arnprior Catholic schools, St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and John XXIII ranked among the top in the province in the report card for the second straight year.

This time it was St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which was the top ranked school in Renfrew County, with a 9.7 rating out of 10.

That was down slightly from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9.8 but was good enough for 29th spot in the province.

John XXIII, which scored an amazing 10 last year, after two straight years in the 90s, had a 9.3 rating this year, 55th in the province.

In the public system, the rankings of both AJ Charbonneau and Walter Zadow are on the rise.

AJ Charbonneau went from 5.7 to 6.2, while Walter Zadow rose from 5.1 to 5.9. McNab Public School, which has swung wildly in the last ďŹ ve years,

ranging from 5.8 to 9.2, was ranked at 6.0 this year, about the same as last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6.1. Pakenham Public School, which has also bounced around from 2.9 to 7.6, was ranked at 5.4 this year.

The Fraser Institute maintains that its school rankings, based on 2009-10 province-wide test results, can assist parents in choosing a school.

The ratings also encourage educators and parents seeking to improve Ontario schools, says the Institute.

The complete report card is a collection of a variety of school performance indicators into one, easily accessible public document, it explains.

However, some educators reject the relevance of the rankings, saying the Conservative think-tank do not taken into account many factors that could skew the results.

The Fraser Institute notes that among the 65 countries and 10 Canadian provinces that participated in the 2009 PISA international testing, Ontario ranked sixth in combined reading, 10th in science and 14th in mathematics.

Of the 2,327 schools included in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report Card, 18 Catholic schools, 22 public schools and two private schools enjoyed ďŹ ve-year-average ratings of 9.0 or higher.

Of the 2,327 schools in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report card for which there were ďŹ ve years of data, 144 enjoyed statistically signiďŹ cant improvement over the past ďŹ ve years. During the same period, 201 schools showed statistically signiďŹ cant decline.

The report card shows a reduction in the percentage of students scoring below the provincial standard in exams over the past ďŹ ve years dropping to 30.1 per cent in 2010 from 33 per cent in 2006.The Fraser Institute says Ontario schools should be proud of than improvement, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but more work must be done.â&#x20AC;?

The report card makes it easy for anybody to identify which schools most need to improve and in which academic areas, it says.

Individual school results may be viewed at www.compareschoolrankings.org.

childhood educators

Early childhood educators (ECEs) working in Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public schools with all-day kindergarten have a ďŹ rst contract.

Negotiation teams for the school board and the Ontario Secondary Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Teacher Federation (OSSTF) came to a tentative collective agreement March 24.

In keeping with provincial guidelines, the agreement is effective from Sept. 1, 2010 to Aug. 31, 2012.

The OSSTF president notiďŹ ed the school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Human Resources Department last fall that the federation had the permission of the Labour Board to represent the Renfrew County ECEs associated with the new Early Learning Program.

Prior to the approval, the Ministry had provided the school board with a temporary agreement that outlined some terms and conditions of employment of the new group.

The board and the new ECE unit have now agreed on the remaining terms and conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Negotiations were conducted, professionally, respectfully and amicably,â&#x20AC;? said school trustee Marjorie Doering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pleased to be a part of this process,â&#x20AC;? added Doering.

Reaching academic goals, helping others in need and the season of Lent are just a few of the reasons for Arnprior area schools to celebrate.

Students at John XXIII celebrated Shrove Tuesday with a pancake snack organized by the student council.

The gym was transformed into a restaurant where students were able to eat their treat while chatting with friends.

The following day staff and students of John XXIII and St. Joseph’s Catholic School joined to celebrate Ash Wednesday with a Mass at St. John Chrysostom.

Fr. John Burchat led the celebration and reminded everyone that during Lent we are called to give, fast and pray.

Part of the annual Lenten journey at John XXIII includes raising money for a sister school in Antonci, Dominican Republic, in the belief that Lent is a perfect opportunity to practise almsgiving and share with those less fortunate than ourselves.

This year funds collected will help to replace water piping from the well to the school.

In conjunction with the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board’s theme of stewardship of the environment, staff and students are making a concerted effort at recycling. Led by Shannon Rebertz, each class now has members in a recycling club who take the time to dump and sort the recyclable materials before the biweekly pick-up.

From an academic standpoint principal Heidi Robinson notes, “the staff and students created and diligently worked towards achieving literacy SMART goals for term one. We are now well on our way to achieving our term two SMART goals.”

At John XXIII the arts have always been an important part of instructional practices. For a week in April, Peter Ryan, a contemporary dancer from Multicultural Arts for Schools and Communities, will work with the students in creative contemporary dance workshops.

Students will have the opportunity to learn more about balance, harmony, contrast and patterning, as well as stability and movement skills.

In addition, John XXIII will be holding the “For the Love of Art” show in May, when various works of art created by students, with the guidance of local artisan Lesley McMann, will be on display for the community.

Robinson concludes: “At John XXIII we strive to make a difference in the lives of those we teach and we believe the diverse spiritual, academic and physical activities we include in our school year do just that.”

PANCAKES AT ST. JOE’S The St. Joseph’s Catholic School Council in Arnprior also held its annual pancake supper at the school. More than 300 meals were served.

“The aim of this event is to build community and bring families together,” commented principal Mary-Lise Rowat.

Proceeds of a Lenten coin collection from small activities throughout the season of Lent will go towards the Rumbly Tummy Giving Circle program.

St. Joseph’s decided to focus on this

charity to highlight the fact that the food bank needs to be replenished on a yearlong basis - not just at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Monthly food drives offer incentives for the classes/students who bring in non-perishable food items.

“Rewards have included extra recess, a gum day with a bubble-blowing contest and a sports hat day when all students who brought in an item were able to wear hats in class!” Rowat explained.

St. Joseph’s has also been celebrating the success of its basketball teams, as the trophy case fills with mementos of their excellent results.

Both the Grade 7 boys’ and Grade 7 girls’ teams brought home first-place finishes from the Renfrew County East Championships.

The Grade 8 boys finished third and Grade 8 girls placed second, earning invitations to vie for Renfrew County Championships.

“Both teams put on an excellent showing and we were delighted when the Grade 8 girls’ team returned as county champions,” said Rowat.

New interest has generated in the CP Rail’s Ottawa Valley rail line, but this time, it’s from a private company.

Lanark County Warden Sharon Mousseau, along with chief administrative officer Peter Wagland and former councillor Al Lunney, met with a consulting firm last week. The firm represented an anonymous private sector company interested in the CP Rail line currently for sale.

Last year CP Rail announced its plans to sell the Ottawa Valley rail line, which runs from Smiths Falls through Arnprior to Mattawa. Stakeholders had the opportunity to express interest to purchase the rail line.

If no offers are put on the table, CP Rail plans to dismantle the rail and sell the steel.

The federal, provincial and municipal governments had the opportunity to express interest to purchase the rail line, but no bids were made by these parties.

Mousseau told Lanark County Council at its corporate services meeting they met March 17 with the consulting firm staff, who outlined plans to complete a market research study to determine if the rail line purchase is a practical financial move.

“Apparently this kind of research hadn’t ever been done under the former leasers of the line and they think there could be real potential out there,” she said.

As part of its research, the firm asked for contact information for any companies located along the rail line, which may have a need for rail services.

She told fellow councillors the consulting firm will touch base with each municipality to verify if there would be any local businesses needing rail line services.

Earlier this year, Lanark and Renfrew counties asked CP Rail for first rights of refusal for purchasing the property should the line be derailed. The private company’s interests could put any potential county plans to a halt.

But Mousseau said she simply wants to see the rail line property put to good use.

“I can’t speak for my colleagues in Renfrew (County) or even my colleagues around the table here, but certainly I don’t believe we would be prepared to stop potential purchasers coming forward to save the rails,” she said.

Mousseau said the consulting firm has asked CP Rail to delay removing the rails until they have an opportunity to complete its market research.

Programs range from babysitting to fencing KAYLA REINERT AND DON GOUGEON Youth Corner

It’s springtime, time to wake up and spring into action.

The world around us is coming to life and now is the time to renew, recharge and freshen up our world.

You don’t have to look far to see signs of spring. From the budding of the trees and the warming of the temperatures to the animals coming out of their winter hideouts, there seems to be a promise of new birth and color in the springtime air.

Spring brings something new to the Nick Smith Centre, as well … new programs. We have lots of new programs for youth of all ages.

On Monday, April 4 from 6-7 p.m., drop in to the Nick Smith Centre for a game of dodgeball against Emergency Services Personnel.

Members of our police fire and ambulance services will be here to take on all comers.

We are offering a Red Cross Certified Babysitting Course on Friday, April 8, a PA day. The program is open to youth 11 years old and up and runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. The cost is $45. Registrations must be in by Sunday, April 3.

Registrations are coming in daily for our fencing and ball hockey programs. To

avoid disappointment, register soon.

The fencing program runs for eight weeks on Tuesdays, beginning on April 12 at AJ Charbonneau School. There are two age divisions. The program for ages 914 runs from 6-7:15 p.m. The 7:30-8:45 p.m. time slot is scheduled for anyone aged 15 and up. He cost is $100 for the entire eightweek program.

Registrations are due no later than Tuesday, April 5.

Ball hockey starts Wednesday, April 20 and runs for 10 weeks. There are four divisions this year: Novice for youth born in 2002-2003, Atom for youth born in 20002001, Pee Wee for youth born in 1998-1999 and Bantam for youth born in 1996-1997.

The cost is $50.

Registrations must be submitted by Wednesday, April 13. We are looking for volunteers to help with coaching and referee duties.

All of the above programs are detailed in our program flyer sent home last week with all Grade 4-8 students and in the Arnprior Life magazine.

Registration for all of our programs must be done in person with cash or cheque at the Nick Smith Centre a minimum of one week in advance. If you have any questions about any of our programs, give Kayla or Don a call at 613-623-7301, ext. 34 or e-mail us at kreinert@arnprior. ca.
