A portion of River Road at Sand Point was closed early Monday after heavy rains in an overnight thunder storm caused damage in the same area plagued by severe flash flooding in July 2009. Water cascading down Golf Course hill flooded the road. A torrent flowed over the new culvert, leaving water gushing across River Road, over the old railway tracks and down to neighbours below, near Sand Point wharf. County crews work worked all day on River Road at the base of the Golf Course Road, which has been closed since the last flooding. Bystanders said damage is not as severe as in 2009, but at least a couple of properties were hit hard by the water. River Road opened later Monday afternoon.

An expected attack by Mother Nature has prompted organizers of Arnprior’s Earth Day Festival, scheduled for Saturday, to cancel the event for this year. Saturday’s forecast is for either rain or snow, likely making it impossible for the entertainment to perform. See ‘Earth’ Page 4 EN OP USE HO

Town council rejects sending earthquake relief money to Japan DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Arnprior council newbie Lyle Anderson believed it was a fairly innocuous suggestion: donate $1,000 to relief efforts in earthquake ravaged Japan. So he let colleagues know of his intentions a few weeks ago. By the time it was tabled at Monday’s regular meeting, the sum dropped to $100. But even then it failed to sway enough votes to pass. Anderson, a federal government employee, said he donated out of pocket and believes it sends the right message when municipalities show compassion and generousity to those suffering through misfortune. “I’m not voting in favour of this,” Reeve Walter Stack said. “I don’t believe property tax dollars should go toward those things.”

He disagreed with the previous council donating money to various relief efforts, including the earthquake in Haiti. He, along with Coun. Dan Lynch, agreed with Coun. Lynn Grinstead who said Arnprior residents have always shown themselves to be generous on a personal level, and don’t need to have government donate money on their behalf. “Surveys showed us that people don’t want their tax dollars spent as relief money,” Grinstead said. “The people of Arnprior are willing to step up to the plate on their own.” Mayor David Reid said he was of two minds on the issue, believing it was only a token amount of money but that the principle of supporting those in need was an important one to uphold. He, Coun. Ted Strike and Anderson voted for the donation, but it was lost on a 3-3 tie vote.

Strong winds topple trees, cut power Continued from front There was also some damage in the Rhoddy’s Bay area. “The good news is that it’s not as bad as 2009,” said McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell. “The bad news is that we made several significant improvements after 2009 to prepare for the future and some of them proved inadequate.” The township was fortunate there was no more rain during the day Monday, as ditches on McLean Drive were filled to the brim. “We are so lucky,” said Campbell. The township continues to work with the County of Renfrew and other officials to assess the damage and explore remedial options. Campbell suggested people in areas hit by flooding test their well water if their septic fields are close and have a shallow overlay. Effective May 2, township residents will have easier access to water testing done by the Renfrew County Health Unit. Sample bottles can be picked up and returned to the municipal office on Russett Drive Monday to Thursday from 8:30 a.m.
to 4 p.m. and on Fridays from 8:30 to 10:45 a.m. The torrential rain and high winds early Monday morning created one of those storms that comes along every 75 years, says Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin. So much for the July 2009 storm being a once-in-100-year event. Environment Canada says about 100 millimetres (or more than four inches) of rain fell in a 24-hour period late Sunday and Monday. Hydro One officials said 11,000 Ontario households were without power Sunday, of which about 10,000 were in eastern Ontario. Some homes in the Arnprior and Carp areas were affected. For a time, local streams were flowing like rivers and there were also reports of trees knocked over and basements flooded. The wind in some regions exceeded 90 kilometres per hour and hail was reported in many areas. With files from Steve Newman

McNab-Braeside firefighters help with the clean-up as a smashed-up Certified ACP Contractor car is hauled onto the flat bed. The other car in the Monday afternoon ESA/ECRA 7005243 collision on Highway 17 at Campbell Drive is in the far ditch.
Collisions concern OPP, seatbelt campaign begins Renfrew OPP reported Monday that they have responded to 12 motor vehicle collisions since April 4. Several charges have been laid, ranging from failing to stop at a stop sign to impaired driving and failing to provide a urine sample. A male driver was charged with making a left turn while unsafe after a two-car collision in the Highway 17-Campbell Drive intersection Monday. OPP were called at 3:35 p.m. after a car pulled onto the highway and was struck by a westbound car. The woman driver of the car hit was taken to hospital to have minor injuries treated a released. The other driver was shaken up. Both cars sustained substantial damage and one ended up in the ditch. The Arnprior and McNabBraeside fire departments were called as it was originally thought one of the drivers was trapped in a vehicle. When it was apparent that was not the case, McNabBraeside firefighters stayed on scene to help with clean-up and for safety precautions. Highway traffic was slowed then limited briefly to one lane.
With traffic increasing due to the improved weather, police urge motorists to be patient and careful when entering the highway. Renfrew OPP have put a fatal-reduction plan into effect because of the number of fatal collisions that have occurred in the past year. This includes more patrols, RIDE checkpoints and assistance from the Ottawa Traffic Management Unit. OPP also remind motorists the 2011 Spring Seat Belt Campaign began Wednesday and runs to April 23. On April 4 at 1:26 p.m., police responded to the report of a possible impaired driver who had gone into the ditch. OPP attended and spoke to the driver, who appeared unsteady on her feet. After conducting several tests, a urine sample demand was read and the female refused to comply with the demand. As a result, a 38-year-old Gloucester woman was charged with impaired driving and failing to provide oral fluid or urine under the Criminal Code of Canada. She was released on a promise to appear in court May 11.

‘Don’t blame Leitch family for post office moving’ JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com
It wasn’t the Leitch family’s idea to oust Canada Post from the former store that has housed the Braeside post office since 1963. Linda Daze, the daughter and sister of the last two Braeside postmasters, said the family is being unfairly blamed in some circles for the closure of the post office in the village.

From front While most of the festival events will not go ahead, the art show planned for the Arnprior Library will still run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. That show features the works of 24 local artists, many of whom will be on hand to talk about their works. Arnprior Earth Day Festival organizers, the Environmental Action Committee, said they encourage people to still mark Earth Week by enjoying the town’s many parks. “And go to the art show,” they urge. Earth Day is actually Friday, April 22. As it lands on the Easter weekend this year, organizers had moved the festival up a week so not to affect people’s holiday plans. However, that move backfired with the cold weather predicted for April 16. The Optimists bike rodeo will likely be rescheduled to coincide with an Arnprior Community Policing event in May. The Arnprior downtown Business Improvement Association was also involved in the festival.

Thanks to the quick thinking and actions of two individuals, an armed robbery attempt at Clancy’s Drug Store in Arnprior April 7 was thwarted. T w e n t y - s i x - ye a r- o l d Darren Pearce of no fixed address was arrested by citizens and turned over to police upon their arrival to the pharmacy, located at the corner of John and Elgin Streets, around 11 a.m. Thursday. Clancy’s owner Gary Lyon and another man held Pearce until police arrived. Doug Smith, owner of Citadel Crafts across the street from the pharmacy, said Clancy’s owner Karen Lyon ran into his store just before 11 a.m., slammed the door and shouted for him to call 911 because she was being robbed. Store staff had managed to lock the suspect inside the store for a short time. Sandra McMurray of Carlson Wagonlit Travel, located across the street from the scene, saw the whole thing unfold. The incident came to her attention when she saw several individuals run out the front of the drug

Police take a man into custody following an armed robbery at Clancy’s drug store April 7. Photo courtesy Doug Smith store shouting for someone to call 911. As the suspect fled, it appears he exited the store through a back door that opens to a hallway with apartments upstairs and a door leading outside. “He came running out of the door and a passerby jumped right on top of him,” said McMurray. Arnprior OPP responded to the scene, along with Renfrew County Paramedics. At least one of the citizens involved in nabbing the suspect was treated at the scene for what appeared to be minor injuries, likely caused in the scuffle. Arnprior OPP Staff Sgt. Mike Forster said that while police appreciate
the public’s efforts in this case, they don’t encourage citizens to get involved with an armed suspect. “We were very fortunate no one got hurt,” said Forster. “I appreciate the fact that people got involved but we don’t encourage it. There’s no need for someone to get hurt over property.” He said members of the public can help by getting a description of the suspect and vehicle and reporting any other pertinent information. Pearce was denied bail in an earlier court appearance and will return to court April 21. He remains in custody and police are continuing their investigation.

Puck priorities
No longer better off
Only in Canada would hockey trump politics. The leaders of Canada’s major political parties – minus Green Party leader Elizabeth May, of course – had been scheduled to debate – or evade – the big questions of this campaign in our other official language tonight (Thursday). Then came word that the first game of the Stanley Cup playoff series between the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins would be taking place on the same day. So, Heaven and Earth were moved to accommodate that other staple of Canadian life – hockey. “All I’m asking is that the debate take place Wednesday so that Quebeckers have as much access to this debate as Canadians,” said Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe this past Sunday. Two things stick out in what he said. Francophones do not live just in Quebec, first of all. They live right here in eastern Ontario, and we see their schools in our midst in places nearby like Pembroke, Kanata, Merrickville and Carleton Place. New Brunswick is a bilingual province and Francophones live all across this country. Also, his request was accepted by the other parties, thereby showing that, even for arcane matters like this, compromise is possible, and that federalism and reasonable accommodation – which Duceppe and his fellow Quebeckers are grappling with themselves – are working, and their separatist vision are not. This decision also shows that, in a small but real way, some politicians are actually listening. “Were I not in this election, I might make the same decision,” to watch the game instead of the debate, said NDP leader Jack Layton, himself a native Montrealer. Like Duceppe’s comments, there is a lot at play here. While the Canadiens fan base is mostly Francophone, it is not exclusively so. More than a few people out here cheer for Les Habs. Also, like the people who joke that French speakers sound like they’re getting more information during the safety demonstration on Air Canada flights, more than a few Anglophones will tune in to the French-language debates – with translation, of course – either because they missed Tuesday night’s English showdown, or because they are simply curious, or don’t want to miss anything … or to make sure that the politicians are advancing one theory in one language, and backtracking in another. Either way, game on.
To the editor: When Steven Harper was celebrating five years in power, he suggested that we Canadians were better off than when he took power. Yet, we all remember how Chretien, ad nauseam, told us that Canada was the best country to live in, according to UN. Well, I checked a few weeks ago to find out how the situation was now, and found that Canada was rated No.7 now. Quite a fall! Norway was rated No. 1, and they have, of course, had coalition governments for years! Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Eystein Huus Arnprior
Support your volunteers
Mix ‘em up into a coalition
To the editor: I fail to see what is wrong with a coalition. In fact, I would love to see our government run as a total coalition. I think it could cure the issue that embarrasses us all – the idiotic behaviour during Question Period. Visualize this. Rather than isolating members of Parliament by having them sit with their own parties . . . mix them up – helter skelter – with Conservatives, Liberals, NDP and the Bloc sitting beside each other. And rather than picking a cabinet from the party with the most elected members, pick the best
people from the whole gang – including the Bloc – they are people too. It would be a lovely change to see them all working together, debating issues from their point of view, finding ways to balance the budget and yet be imaginative and progressive. Just imagine how much work could get done and how much pride and respect we would all feel with such a government. A coalition? Bring it on. Fern Martin Pakenham P.S. And please Members of Parliament, just one election every four years.

Lower taxes to create jobs

Cheryl Gallant says one of her proudest achievements in her 10-plus years as Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP is helping create jobs for Valley residents in a time of economic upheaval and change. She is asking to be re-elected, arguing that electing a Conservative majority federal government is Canadians’ best chance to protect jobs and complete the country’s recovery from the global economic recession. “The economy’s the number one issue on everyone’s minds,” she says. The ‘Here for Canada’ Conservative policy platform will continue to create an environment that will provide for more jobs, she says, adding that keeping taxes low is the best way to stimulate economic growth. The controversial MP admits she has deeply-held conservative views, but says they are in line with most of her constituents. The Conservatives are “taking action on the priorities of Canadians who work hard and play by the rules,” she says. Despite criticism, she isn’t inclusive enough, she insists she does her best to ensure she collects input from as many people as possible in the riding through surveys and town hall meetings. She says she tries to anticipate what upcoming legislation is of most interest to her constituents and get input, which helps shape the way she, and her government, will proceed. “Democracy is not just in play during elections,” she said. “Fortunately, we have a very active citizenry (in this riding).” Being able to help the constituents in causes important to them has led to some of her most satisfying moments as MP, says Gallant, citing the government’s decision to strengthen food allergen labelling regulations. She says local input provided in her information mailers and a well-attended public info session impressed on the health minister how important the issue is to people. New labelling regulations that will come into effect on Aug. 4, 2012 will honour the memory of Valley anaphylactic shock victim Sabrina Shannon and be imitated across North America, she says.
Liberal candidate Christine Tabbert is ready to bring a fresh, new style of representation to local federal politics. “My representation style will be much like my campaign style has been for the past year and a half – very open, accessible and interested in hearing the views of residents in the riding,” she says. Tabbert is also committed to hosting at least one town hall gathering a year where residents can ask any question they want, and get answers. “Whether it’s a minority or a majority (government) I will be working hard to make sure our residents’ concerns are heard,” she says. “Right now we have a representative (Cheryl Gallant) in a minority government, she’s a member of the government and her own government doesn’t want to hear her,” says Tabbert. “And so I think the starting point has to be establishing credibility.” Tabbert’s top three issues in this election are jobs for youth, care for seniors and care for soldiers and their families. “As I travel around the entire riding there are concerns about people being able to maintain their lives here in the Ottawa Valley, stay here after they graduate from high school, find a quality job and build a life here. That’s something I want to address,” says Tabbert. To that end, she is proud of the Liberal Party’s plans for early childhood education and its Learning Passport. “Those are concrete ways that we can invest in our youth and give them the tools that they need to succeed,” says Tabbert. “But we also need to find opportunities for them once they’ve committed to developing themselves.” That means creating jobs. “One of the things that I want to do is try to see us get our fair share of money in the Eastern Ontario Development Program. Then we need to work hard to make sure those funds get distributed in a fair way to create opportunities in this riding,” she says. Tabbert grew up on a farm just outside Pembroke and graduated from the University of Guelph where she earned a spot on the Dean’s List for her strong academic performance. She then attended law school at the University of Western Ontario and was called to the bar in 2000. She is employed with leading international law firm Fasken Martineau, specializes in civil and commercial litigation, and was made a partner in the firm in 2006. How she wants to pursue a career in federal politics and ‘pay it forward,’ help-

Cheryl Gallant opponents she has done little to create jobs in the riding since then. She maintains the Conservative government has taken major steps to provide the infrastructure investments needed to attract new types of industry and development to the area and to support jobs at AECL and CFB Petawawa. The federal, provincial and municipal governments are working together to spread high-speed Internet service throughout the riding. The federal government has also funded everything from bridges to doctor recruitment (through supporting a residency program) that will help the riding, she says. Gallant points out the government has also provided funding and encouragement for college and Employment Insurance programs to retrain workers laid off when industries closed. Workers are given the education and skills to fill other jobs that are going begging, particularly in the skilled trades, she says. “If you wanted something repaired, you know where the shortages are,” she says, adding, “you usually have to wait several weeks.” Gallant says the government will also implement programs, such as ‘Helmet to Hard Hat’, to ease the transition of soldiers to civilian life. Another key to job creation is to find new markets for Canadian products. Farmers and others realize they can’t always depend on the recession-battered U.S. economy, she says. As a result, the government has worked out new trade deals finding markets for food products in Japan and hardwoods in China. The wood pellet plant being set up in the Pontiac will help forest companies in this riding, as it gives them a place for their pulp wood, she adds. See GALLANT, Page 13
Christine Tabbert ing today’s youth to follow their dreams as well. Tabbert also believes seniors should have security, dignity and support. “Our family care plan is an investment in our seniors and in our children. It is a plan that would allow families to take time off work, in a manner similar to the employment insurance fund, to be able to care for aging relatives when they’re ailing and sick. “But more than that,” she says “we want to strengthen the Canadian Pension Plan, invest more money into the Guaranteed Income Supplement, and provide Canadians – right now – with an opportunity to invest in a supplementary Canada Pension Plan so that they can save, so that when they become seniors, they have security and dignity.” Tabbert is also concerned how the government treats and respects its veterans. “Now we have a government that came in with a mandate that they were going to improve the lives of veterans and they’ve, instead, taken veterans’ private information and used it against them. And they hired an ombudsman, didn’t listen to a word he said and eventually got rid of him.” FARM GIRL AT HEART Farming and forestry are also part of her personal heritage. “I know the struggles of farm life because I grew up on a (dairy) farm in the riding. It’s not easy to operate a family farm these days and it’s getting harder and harder all the time,” she says. “We have committed to building farm programs from the farm up rather than from Ottawa down.” See TABBERT, Page 10
“We’re taking action on the priorities of Canadians who work hard and play by the rules.”
“Whether it’s a minority or a majority government, I will be working hard to make sure our residents’ concerns are heard.”

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke’s new federal New Democratic Party candidate Eric Burton may be young, but he’s already got political experience under his belt that’s helping him in his new role. The 30-year-old Arnprior-born and raised Burton, who won the uncontested NDP nomination April 2 in Cobden, says he will draw on what he learned in four years as a municipal councillor in Arnprior as he campaigns leading up to the May 2 election. “I have the benefit of my record,” said Burton, a married father of three young kids. “I do think that by all accounts I kept my integrity intact throughout my whole four-year term.” While Burton said some people have suggested he lost his bid for the reeve seat in the 2010 municipal election after having opposed a proposed Wal-Mart development, he never wavered in his stance. “I’m very proud of that,” he said. While some politicians have to keep close track of past promises and conversations and are regularly exposed for actions contrary to what they’re saying, there’s something to be said for standing by your beliefs. “You don’t have to remember everything you’ve ever said because you know in your heart how you stand on things,” said Burton. His council experience will benefit him as he addresses some of the key NDP issues. “There were times at the council table when it was difficult to speak up,” said Burton. “At times people didn’t want to have the discussion at all let alone hear what I had to say about it.” While lots of words are being bandied about while the campaign’s running, the real work starts after the vote, he said. “Winning an election is only a means to an end. Winning an election is not the end in and of itself,” he said. “That’s the difference between true community leaders and politicians.” He warned voters to beware campaign promises that are being tossed around. “I think the voters really should be looking at these promises,” he said. “Are they a one-time thing? Is it money just being tossed around loosely? Or is it a permanent solution?” So far Burton’s been busy touring the riding, getting signs up and talking to voters. He has opened a Pembroke office, which will be his main headquarters, though much of the work will be done out of his home, alongside his campaign manager wife Mandi. Whether it’s meeting with students at the Pembroke campus of Algonquin College or talking with voters at the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce,

Eric Burton Burton wants to hear people’s concerns and, moreover, see what can be done to address them. “The goal is to get out and recruit volunteers and supporters. There are a lot of people excited about this campaign,” he said. Also high on his list of priorities is encouraging people to get out and vote. He has encountered a lot of voter apathy and those who feel this election will bring about the same results. The public has lost faith in politicians, Burton said, which is something he’d like to change. “That’s not easy because it’s not like that happened overnight,” he said. “People feel politicians don’t represent them.” Burton said his time on the hustings will be spent not only “shaking hands and kissing babies” but also listening to what the voters have to say and seeing what can be done to help them. “It’s not all just photo ops,” said Burton. “It’s about working with people to address their needs.” An example is the owner of a Deep River plumbing business that is trying to obtain a licence to facilitate the expansion of his company. Dyslexia and other factors have complicated his efforts and Burton would like to help the man. “None of the other candidates or our Member of Parliament would give him the time of day,” said Burton. “They’re more concerned about how they look in photo ops and who said what on a personal basis than the real issues facing the people,” he said. Among the main issues being championed by the NDP is seniors in poverty, See BURTON, Page 13

He loves horses, hunting, wearing hats and going the long haul. That’s Hector Clouthier, 61, who’s trying to unseat the Conservative incumbent in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. It could be a long uphill battle against the popular Cheryl Gallant, who received 61.1 per cent of the vote in the last election. But Clouthier, a resident of Petawawa, says several recent Gallant gaffes − in critics’ eyes − are about to turn the tables on the MP who has even been criticized by her party leader. Clouthier has campaigned since June 2010 after resigning as executive director of the Ontario Harness Racing Industry Association to focus on the federal campaign. “I’m the underdog in this, that’s for sure,” says Clouthier. After an unsuccessful bid for office in 1993, he was elected in 1997 as the Liberal MP, thus succeeding long-time MP Len Hopkins. But, against his better judgment, he made supportive comments of the long-gun registry at the Pembroke Sportman’s Club all-candidates that sent supporters flocking to Gallant’s side. Recent comments by Renfrew County residents suggest many former Gallant supporters are about to jump ship. But it remains to be seen if it’s enough to turn the tide, since candidate Christine Tabbert and the Liberals are thought to have significant, traditional support in the riding. Hec, who was named after his dad, came into this world as an extremely premature baby weighing three pounds, three ounces. But there has been a bounce in his step for the longest time. Call it bravado, self-confidence or the desire to talk, Clouthier speaks his mind (usually while wearing a fedora), and won’t stop doing that, win or lose. As his billboards and several campaign signs say: “Give ‘em Hec!” PLENTY OF ENERGY And why not. He has the energy to do so, partly because of his running. The life-long runner didn’t run his first marathon until age 51, but in the last decade he has completed 23 full marathons, 12 half-marathons and two 30-km races. He’s skipping the 2011 Boston Marathon this month, but plans to run the New York Marathon in the fall. The desire for more endorphins, it appears, may also have carried over to the political landscape. He loved being the MP, which he wants to be again. “I absolutely loved being the Member of
Hector Clouthier Parliament. In a crazy sort of way, it may have hurt me because people thought I was having too much fun.” He says he also wants that opportunity while bringing to the riding the voice of an Independent candidate who doesn’t have to toe the party line. Like when he tried to justify the longgun registry Bill C-68. “I was ordered to defend the bill,” admits Clouthier. “I tried to justify it, and when you’re trying to defend something that is indefensible (it’s a problem).” A decade later, he’s still taking heat for his stand. Ironically, Clouthier points out that he never actually voted for the bill, while Stephen Harper did in April 1995. There are more important things in life than our guns, says Clouthier. “The three most important things are family, health and our jobs. Whether we register one or 50 guns should not be on our (topthree priority) list.” But he assumes the blame for his 11year-old comments. “At the end of the day it was my fault. I defended Bill C-68 that I didn’t want to defend.” Last year, Clouthier met Liberal Party leader Michael Ignatieff to discuss the possibility of seeking the Liberal candidacy. Clouthier says Ignatieff balked at the former MP’s notion he would vote as his constituents wanted, not as the Liberal Party wanted. “I figured, ‘My political career is over.’ But then I started making some enquiries with local reeves, local mayors and some opinion-makers … and heard that Mrs. Gallant wasn’t delivering the goods she said she was going to deliver.” See CLOUTHIER, Page 10

Rosanne Van Schie’s upbringing in Timmins, Ont., was as varied, recreational and invigorating as most children ever experience. Her dad emigrated from Holland after the Second World War through Halifax’s Pier 69 while not knowing how to ask for much more in English than apple pie and coffee. But he became part of the logging industry in northern Ontario, married, and raised three children who embraced the gold-mining town’s landscape of varied cultures, languages and food. Van Schie’s dad, Johannes, also worked, in the 1990s, as the campaign manager for Liberal MP Peter Thalheimer. Years later, Rosanne Van Schie is running as the candidate for the Green Party in the riding of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke and suspecting her dad would have approved of her decision. She says her dad came to Canada for democracy and political freedom after experiencing the German occupation of his homeland. So she practically bristles when she says a major platform in her campaign is the lack of attention to democratic government by the Conservatives. “I really decided to do this (run for office) because of the threat to democracy by this (Conservative) government, and to bring a voice from the local voters up to Parliament,” she stresses. “The large-party politics seems to be dysfunctional and the voice of the people from the local riding is not making it (to Parliament Hill).” Harper’s two granted requests for prorogation of Parliament (in 2008 and 2009) are insulting, says Van Schie. The Conservatives’ refusal to face a vote of confidence in the House of Commons, by closing the doors of Parliament, leaves her saying: “At that point, I felt Stephen Harper was treating the business of Parliament like it was his own business and not the business of Canadians. “When I see democracy being broken down like this, this puts me back to what Canadians fought for in the first and second world wars and where we are now. I’m very emotional about it … When we come back (to talk about) Canada’s reputation in the wars and the (tremendous Canadian) support for our troops, it’s always been about democracy and freedom.” And, as if to add insult to injury, Van Schie says Prime Minister Harper has also failed to uphold Canada’s climate-change commitments in the Kyoto Accord. In fact, Van Schie was a speaker at the 2009 conference in Copenhagen, where Canada was bad-mouthed by many countries for inaction. At the same conference, Van Schie met Canada’s Green Party leader Elizabeth May.

General Reminders • Town Hall will be CLOSED on Friday, April 22, 2011 (Good Friday) and Monday, April 25, 2011 (Easter Monday). • The Arnprior Waste Disposal Site will be CLOSED on Friday, April 22, 2011 (Good Friday). • The WEEKLY (two bag limit) garbage schedule starts on Wednesday, May 4, 2011. • Leaf and Yard Waste Collection will occur on Tuesday, May 10, 2011. Rosanne Van Schie Van Schie’s other prominent platform issues are a newer, greener economy both in her riding and across Canada, and the need to reduce our carbon footprint by taking more responsible actions in such industries as forestry and agriculture. Already, the 47-year-old says Renfrew County is a mover-and-shaker, as a leader in green projects. The county already has a better reputation that most for movement in projects related to biogas, micro-fit solar systems, food cooperatives, eco-tourism and the 100-mile diet, she says. PIONEER RIDING POTENTIAL “This really is a green riding, and it could do so much better with a Green representative in the House. It could be a pioneer riding in Canada for the Green Party.” Van Schie isn’t just green. She’s also bilingual, and has her three children enrolled in French school. Her kids are also part of what Van Schie calls an increasingly green new generation. “I think they’re a new generation that thinks entirely different than us. “They’re a technologically-inclined generation that is learning to recycle, reuse and reduce.” While she hopes more and more youth connect with the Green Party, Van Schie has already been inroads in some of her own work with the green economy. Back in the 1990s, she and her kids lived in British Columbia, where she was involved with eco-tourism for the Government of France and operated her own kayak company. See VAN SCHIE, Page 13

Continued from Page 7 Key to that process is listening to groups like the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and National Farmers Union, she says. “We’ve also put a national food strategy on the table as part of our platform; something farmers have been looking for, for a long time,” she adds. “Give a farmer a problem and he’ll find a solution,” she says. “I have a lot of confidence in the farmers in this area. I think there’s a bright future ahead for them and I think they need a government that partners with them and listens to them and that’s what we’re committed to doing.” She sees the same need for innovation and government support in the forest industry. “One of the commitments we’ve made with forestry is opening up the availability of credit to provide foresters with an opportunity to purchase the equipment they need. That is one of the problems in the forestry industry,” she says. She describes foresters as “a really creative group of people who have been working in our riding, basically since the country began. I remember stories of my grandpa and my Uncle Ed who went up to the shanties for the winter and, of course, studying the shantymen of Cache Lake when I was a kid at school. This is a part of our history, but it should be a part of our future, too.”
Clouthier Continued from Page 8 Examples of Gallant’s failure to deliver, says Clouthier, include her votes to support Quebec as a distinct society and her federal-enabling vote Dec. 9, 2009 that allowed Ontario to bring in the harmonized sales tax (HST). “Mrs. Gallant and even the Conservatives are prone to say, ‘We didn’t raise taxes’. But she supported the HST, which added eight per cent taxes to home heating, legal fees, real estate fees … HST is the wrong tax at the wrong time. Ironically, says Clouthier, she has promised to enshrine private property rights in the constitution,
Tabbert is also a strong proponent of Ottawa River heritage designation and the development potential it represents. “I would absolutely pursue that. It’s been a long time coming and there’s really no reason left why it shouldn’t occur,” she says. “We have representation that seems to want to stand in the way of it rather than creating an opportunity from it.” She says the Liberal party is also committed to keeping more doctors in rural areas, rewarding volunteer firefighters through tax credits, supporting AECL, promoting Internet connectivity, giving attention to aboriginal issues, dealing with the gun registry and “finding the middle ground everyone can live with.” “For far too long, it (urban versus rural) has been used as a wedge to divide Canadians rather than bring them together. For far too long in this riding we’ve had fear-mongering rather than a message of hope; a message of what can be done to address serious issues that affect the daily lives of people – things like health, education and jobs. Those are all things that can use a lot of work in this riding,” she says. So what is the May 2 vote really all about? Tabbert has no doubt. “It’s about economics. It’s about education opportunities. It’s about health care. It’s about all those things and it’s very, very important that, no matter where you live, you have equality of opportunity. We are all Canadians,” she
says. As a lawyer, Tabbert listens to and helps people. It’s a skill she’s offering to the people of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. “I find out what the problem is and I try to find a solution for it. And I try to do that collaboratively with my client. It’s the same thing with constituents. I need to listen to them. I need to know what their problems are, what the issues are, and find creative ways to help them solve their problems. That’s what I want to do. I want to bring those skills to the riding and to the people here.” Ultimately, she hopes more people will get out and vote because “We have a much healthier democracy when more people participate in it.” Meanwhile, she’ll keep knocking on doors. “Often people will say, I’m sorry, I don’t support your party,” she explains with a smile. “And I say, well, that’s okay. We can still be friends.” It’s the Valley way. “It doesn’t matter what someone’s political stripe is to me. At the end of the day, if I’m elected, I want to represent everyone here. “And that’s my goal, to bring the kind of representation that people remember, growing up in this riding. Whether it was Progressive Conservative or Liberal, people had respect for their member of parliament and felt that they had an effective MP and someone who was willing to listen to them. That’s the kind of representation I’m trying to bring back to the Ottawa Valley.”
in response to the Back Off Government, It’s Our Land contingent. “These (HST and Quebec’s distinct society rights) are two issues people in this riding should be hopping mad about. “Maybe her comeback is (that) Stephen Harper ordered me to. But as an Independent, I don’t have to be that way.” He says he’s also critical of Gallant’s fear-mongering opposition of Canadian heritage designation of the Ottawa River, which was the brainchild of former MP Len Hopkins. As a property owner along the Ottawa River, Clouthier says he’s totally supportive of the designation. He says the designation could be a boost to local
tourism. Gallant is opposing the designation by suggesting it may play havoc with property rights along the waterway. “In no way does it supersede any provincial or national regulations. She’s blowing smoke,” says Clouthier who, along with his four brothers, owns ample acreage along the river. “If we thought it was going to deter any development, we’d be against it.” As for the Liberal candidate, Tabbert, Clouthier says the Toronto lawyer (who grew up in Renfrew County) hasn’t demonstrated that this county is really where she wants to be. Hec and wife Debbie have three adult-age sons, Tyler, Geoff and Nick.
TOWNSHIP OF McNAB/BRAESIDE Now is the time to prepare for possible Spring Flooding With rising temperatures and the end to the winter season, now is the time to think about preparing for the possibility of flooding as the spring thaw continues. Though government agencies at every level work to reduce the risk of floods, the first line of defence always rests with the individual. Each of us has a responsibility to protect our homes and families to the greatest extent possible. By planning ahead and taking sensible precautions, you can do your part to minimize flood damage. Flood threats to particular areas of our Township can usually be forecast in a number of ways, including: • • •
Evaluating the rising of water tables that result from heavy rain; Surveys of snow conditions in river and lake basins; and Meteorological observations and forecasts.
Flash or sudden flooding, in which warning time is extremely limited, can result from other causes such as tidal waves, hurricanes, violent storms or bursting of dams. In all cases, local government authorities try to keep residents informed of developments in areas most likely to be affected by flooding. Regular media advisories will recommend what action residents in those areas should take to limit or prevent disaster. As the need arises, more detailed instructions by your municipal government will be given. Before the Flood: Ensure that you have a battery-powered or hand crank radio that is in good working order, with spare batteries, to listen to instructions from your local station. Prepare an emergency survival kit that includes food, water and medical supplies in an easy to carry, waterproof container. Consider also including the following items in your kit: • • • • • • •
Waterproof flashlight with spare batteries; Warm clothing, including waterproof outer garments and footwear; Blankets; All necessary medication; Infant care items; Personal toiletries; Identification for each member of the household.
If you experience water in your basement this spring, you may want to purchase or rent a submersible pump to remove the water. This is not standard equipment or a service that is provided by your local volunteer Fire Department. To minimize damage to your home, move furniture, electrical appliances and other belongings to floors above ground level. Remove all toxic substances such as pesticides, insecticides from the immediate area to prevent pollution. When there is immediate danger of flooding, shut of all power to your home. In some cases, homes may be protected by using sandbags or polyethylene barriers. But this approach requires specific instructions that must be obtained from your local emergency officials. In extreme cases, you may be asked to vacate your home. It is advised that you do so when asked by local emergency authorities. Ignoring such a warning could jeopardize the safety of your family and those who might have to come to your rescue. If time permits, leave a note informing others of when you left and where you went. If you have a mailbox, leave it in there. When you leave, take your emergency survival kit with you. Follow the routes specified by officials. Don’t take short cuts as they could lead you to a blocked or dangerous area. If you are leaving by car, try not to drive through flood waters. Fast water can sweep your car off the road way. The flood water may have also deteriorated the road and shoulders and are no longer safe to drive on. Should you get caught in fast rising waters, and your car stalls, leave it behind. Always consider your safety and the safety of others first. For more information on Flood Preparation, contact Emergency Management Ontario.

Burton
Continued from Page 8 “It’s awful that the very people who built this community are now living in poverty,” he said. “We need to make that right.” The Canada Pension Plan provides just $11,000 annually, said Burton. “Nobody can get by on $11,000. It’s a sad state of affairs,” he said. Canadians in general and people throughout Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke won’t stand for nothing being done about this issue, said Burton. “We have an obligation to do something about it.” And the NDP will, he said, with their plan to increase the pension to $22,000,” said Burton. Other candidates will talk about token support for seniors, said Burton, but none make the solid commitment pledged by the NDP. EMPLOYMENT Another important issue is employment, said Burton. “Farmers are struggling,” he said. “And they’re struggling because the government is only looking out for the multi-national corporations who are swallowing up all the profit.” Nothing is being done to help out the local producers, he said. “They’re the backbone of our local economy,” he said. “While food prices are going up, the amount farmers make does not,” he said. The Conservatives are giving tax cuts and handouts to corporations, while small business owners and workers continue to struggle, he says. The NDP proposes to provide tax incentives for small business, said Burton. “The NDP will provide tax incentives based on the creation of jobs right here in Canada,” said Burton. Existing local industry, including AECL at Chalk River, needs to be a focus, he said. “There are a lot of other industries and businesses dependent on AECL as well. “We have a first-class science and technology research lab here,” he said. The government needs to invest time and money in AECL to prepare it for the future. There’s potential in nuclear waste management that should be explored, he said. “The world needs leadership in nuclear waste management,” he said. Forestry and other local industries are suffering and the government has to take steps before companies and business disappear altogether. Another issue of utmost importance to Canadians is health care, said Burton. Improving emergency wait times, access to services and access to doctors are among the priorities for the NDP. Affordable medicine and increased care for seniors are also on the NDP’s list of prior-
ity. “We’re calling for long-term care and home care to be part of the Canada Health Act,” said
Burton. “The Romanow Commission told us 10 years ago that this is going to need to be ad-
dressed,” said Burton. Not to be forgotten is another critical issue – the environment.
“We need to be thinking of the environment and a way to create change.”

RENFREW-NIPISSING-PEMBROKE VOTES
Riding’s five candidates gear up for public debates john.carter@metroland.com
Let the debates begin. It appears the five candidates for MP in Renfrew-NipissingPembroke will be attending most of the all-candidates forums to be held in the next two weeks. Even Conservative Cheryl Gallant, who has been selective in choosing which meetings to attend in past campaigns, has indicated she will be at three of four of the all-candidates forums in the next week. Her campaign manager, Brendan Mulvihill, said Tuesday she would be attending the Sportsman’s Club debate Wednesday, as well as this Saturday morning’s Valley Heritage Radio forum and the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce all-candidates meeting Tuesday, April 19. However, she wasn’t planning to be at the debate tonight (Thursday) hosted by the Renfrew Branch of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture at 7:30 in the Cobden Agricultural Hall. The Renfrew County Federation of Agriculture calls the decision a “slap in the face.” Liberal Christine Tabbert is attending all three forums this week and will decide in the next day or two if she will attend the Arnprior session, which will be held at Arnprior District High School at 7 p.m. Written questions from the floor will be accepted.
NDP candidate Eric Burton, the Green’s Rosanne Van Schie and Independent Hec Clouthier have indicated they will be attending all the forums.

At his office opening Saturday, Burton focused on the issue of seniors poverty, saying it is a major problem is this riding and claiming the NDP is the only party that has a plan to address it in any real way. VOTE COMPASS CBC News has launched a new initiative called Vote Compass Canada to involve citizens in the
election campaign. CBC is partnering with the University of Toronto on what it’s calling a “unique interactive tool that makes your politics personal to help you decide come decision day.” Vote Compass lets voters pinpoint where their views and values align with the political parties. It also will help the CBC news teams to better understand what Canadians are thinking and feeling. It can be accessed at CBCNews.ca/canadavotes.

Gallant Continued from Page 7 Gallant said that another crucial element in enabling the government to foster economic development is to eliminate the deficit by 2014-2015. That is a year earlier than previously thought, she says, noting the deficit was shrunk 25 per cent last year and will shrink another 25 per cent this year. She insists the government can eliminate the deficit without raising taxes and cutting back services to families, seniors, soldiers and caregivers. There are still plenty of areas where spending can be controlled and waste can be cut, she says, noting it will be easier to do if the Conservatives have a majority government. Joining the economy and eliminating the deficit as her main issues are law and order. Gallant notes the Conservatives have been stymied in some of their tough-on-crime legislation, but plan to wrap a dozen bills in one omnibus bill for quick passing, if re-elected. They include such things as cracking down on organized crime, streamlining long and complicated trials, getting rid of house arrest for violent criminals, eliminating pardons for “serious criminals,” tightening day pass rules for sexual assault offenders, increasing penalties for repeat violent young offenders, and giving police and security forces the tools they need to fight crime and terrorism, she says. “We will be making our streets safe through new laws to protect children and the elderly,” she adds. “Our focus will be more on helping the victims, not on protecting the criminals.” Gallant characterizes herself as a strong defender of rural Canada and individual rights, including the right to own and enjoy private property. Despite a reputation of being a maverick, Gallant insists she is a team player, pointing to the many positions she has held on various standing committees in the House of Commons.

Van Schie Continued from Page 9 She later moved back to Ontario and now works as a contracted economic advisor for the Algonquin First Nation of Wolf Lake, located near the north end of Algonquin Provincial Park. In that work, she helped establish the Algonquin Canoe Company, which employs eight staff and uses a 500-kilometre trail network of portages, lakes and rivers for canoe and kayaking trips. Van Schie, whose partner is Toronto-based lawyer John Richardson, lives near Kiosk, at the north entrance to Algonquin Provincial Park. The household also lives in the greenest of backyards, it seems, with 400 acres, of which 10 acres are set aside for a short-rotation willow nursery. Van Schie points out she’s also a supporter of Canadian heritage river designation for the Ottawa River, despite opposition to the move by MP Cheryl Gallant. “The river heritage designation,” says Van Schie, “connects all of us, from First Nations people and early explorers, to who we are today. “There is no reason not to support it.”

The festival’s budget is set at around $20,000 and letters have been sent out to potential sponsors who might be able to help. The committee also continues to run a draw, selling tickets on a $3,500 travel package. The races, which will be run by Burlington-based company Lively Dragon, will bring six race day and six practice
boats to the river for the event. Registered teams then use these boats and a course set up by the company for the races. Local team the Prior Chest Nuts will certainly be entering a team, say organizers, and others are welcome to get involved. “Anybody can enter a team,” explained Arthur. For more information or to get involved, visit www.arnpriorwhitepinefestival.ca.
The White Pine Festival is still in need of your support. Recent news that the Aug. 26-28 festival had received a provincial grant of $24,414 has thrown a wrench into early fundraising plans, say organizers, when in fact those funds are earmarked for only one of the event’s features.

Area’s best businesses feted at awards ceremony SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com
It was time once again to shine the light on successful local business at the seventh annual Business Achievement Awards, hosted by the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Arnprior and the Township of McNab-Braeside. The April 8 ceremony and gala reception at the Nick Smith Centre was a chance to recognize a number of local business and owners who have excelled in their endeavours and in their community efforts. The chamber’s small business award winner is Mel’s Flowers. Owners Tracey Climo and Kevin Raglin have been running the business for the past 15 years, expanding it to include a retail shop and decorating services. Climo’s community efforts include organizing a free community Christmas dinner, providing flowers for hospital and Grove Nursing Home functions, and getting on board for various community fundraising efforts. Jack and Faith’s No Frills picks up this year’s large business award winner. “Since Jack and Faith (Bird) took over No Frills in 2003 they’ve shown a commitment to being involved in our community,” said chamber director Gib McMullen. From sports teams and food bank support to regularly contributing to local fundraising efforts, the business has been a big booster for Arnprior and area, said McMullen. Chamber member of the year is The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, a community newspaper established in 1880. Director Mike Marcil said the paper, with a circulation of about 7,500, offers news stories, profiles, coverage of events and opinions focusing on Arnprior and area. “When the Arnprior ChronicleGuide arrives at your doorstep every Thursday, there is more in

And the Chronicle-Guide continues to adapt to the times, being one of the first in eastern Ontario to have a web presence and the first in Canada to provide the entire newspaper online in a PDF format. Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital CEO Eric Hanna is this year’s president’s award winner. GACC president Zillah Briscoe presented the award to Hanna, who she described as a social butterfly dedicated to his family and also the patients of ADMH and residents of the Grove Nursing Home. Since coming to Arnprior in 2008, Hanna has worked diligently to improve services and see the hospital through its recent emergency room expansion. Hanna shared the credit with hospital staff and volunteers. “You certainly can’t do these things without the support of Carrie Brown, left, of the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce, and Lynn Grinstead of last year’s winner MyFm, present the chamber’s small business award to Kevin Raglin and Tracey Climo of Mel’s Flowers. many people,” he said.

In the Arnprior portion of the seventh annual Business Achievement Award ceremony April 8, the late John Carey was recognized for his contributions to his community. Arnprior Mayor David Reid announced Carey as the winner of the mayor’s award. He described him as a friend, family man, proud father and grandfather.
Carey, who died in early 2010 after a courageous battle with cancer, was a former firefighter and policeman who moved to Arnprior in 1995 and became owner of Co-operators Insurance. Carey was active in the community and with the chamber, including a stint as GACC president. Joan, his wife of 25 years, was on hand to accept the award along with their son Andrew. In a touching speech, she thanked the town and chamber

for the award. “John and I were not raised here in Arnprior but Arnprior did become our hometown,” she said. Both of the town’s business award winners have been actively supporting Arnprior and area for 35 years. The small business award went to the main street Opportunity Shop, run by the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. More than 100 volunteers work at the secondhand shop, sorting, tagging and selling, with proceeds going to the hospital. The large business award winner was Sandvik Materials Technology, a developer and producer of advanced stainless steels, special alloys, titanium and other high-performance materials that employs 225 people. Above, Arnprior Mayor David Reid presents John Carey’s mayor’s award to his widow and son. Accepting are Joan and Andrew Carey. Joan Carey gave a heartfelt thank-you to the town for honouring her late husband and to the Greater Chamber of Commerce for hosting the awards evening.

McNab-Braeside honours long-time farm family, marina owners SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com
A long-time farming family and a relatively new business to the township were honoured when it came time for McNab-Braeside to hand out its accolades at the seventh annual Business Achievement Award ceremony it cohosts with Arnprior and the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Mary Campbell said each year the township’s awards lend themselves to a particular theme. This year’s seemed to be the strength of entrepreneurship and business in the face of adversity, she said. This year’s recipients included a business that’s been in the township for seven generations and owners who have been residents for just three years. The agriculture appreciation award was presented to the Russett family, owners of Sunny Acres Farm and the former Braeside Dairy. The farm and business reinvented and re-established itself over seven generations, adapting to suit the needs of the community and the family. “Today the Township of McNab-Braeside wishes to
recognize the Russett family, Sunny Acres Farm and the Braeside Dairy for their innovation, courage and fortitude, all attributes required in today’s business environment,” said Campbell. Winner of the business appreciation award was White Lake Marina and its owners Pete and Andra Bettencourt who purchased the business and moved into the community three years ago. “Not only did they shoulder a new business, the new business had needs,” Campbell said. “Along with the normal improvements, they have had to make significant investment in building a positive business reputation, needed environmental clean-up and home repairs. In spite of these obstacles and the fact that with two children the Bettencourts are a busy young family, they remain active in their church and are entirely committed to the community,” said Campbell. The Bettencourts say their community involvement and business success go hand in hand. “It’s because of our community efforts that we have been able to build it so far and we’re going to keep going with that,” she said.

terned on the April 1997 nationwide “gas-out” to protest rising gas prices. Organizers claim the show of consumer anger caused gasoline prices to drop significantly, at
least in the short term. They say that if no one bought gas Friday, it would cost the oil companies almost more than $2.2 billion and show that Canadians don’t have to be dependant
on Middle Eastern oil. The price of gas, which was under $1 a litre a year ago, is now well over $1.20 a litre in most Canadian communities and is expected to keep rising,
partly because of the unrest in the Middle East. A report released this week by the CIBC suggests an average Canadian family will pay $950 more for gas this year over last.

Winchester Hawks caught in Beaver dam Clarence Creek Beavers win Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League title PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com
The Clarence Creek Beavers completed a nearflawless run to the 2010-11 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League title Sunday afternoon. On home ice before a capacity crowd, the Beavers edged the Winchester Hawks 4-3 to tuck away the championship series in five games. Clarence Creek won 16 games and lost just three en route to the third title in the club’s history. They also claimed Junior B championships in 1994 and 2001. Winchester has never won a league title. The Beavers defeated the Metcalfe Jets and Ottawa West Golden Knights to capture the Metro Division final, and then topped the Renfrew Timberwolves four games to one to win the Metro-Valley championship. After dropping the opener to Winchester 4-1, the Beavers answered with 2-1, 3-2 in double overtime and 4-1 victories to climb to within one win of the title. In Sunday’s finale, most of the game’s scoring came in the opening period as Clarence Creek grabbed a 3-2 lead. They added a single marker in the middle stanza, before the Hawks answered with a lone thirdperiod tally to draw close. LUMBER KINGS Meanwhile, the Pembroke Lumber Kings, with Arnprior players Ben Reinhardt and Kyle Just, are deadlocked 2-2 in the CJHL final series with the Cornwall Colts. Just scored the winning goal at 18:35 of the second overtime as the Lumber Kings won 2-1 last Friday in Pembroke to take a 2-1 series lead. Reinhardt set up the other Pembroke goal. Both Arnprior players picked up helpers Monday, but Cornwall scored three unanswered goals in the third to win 6-3 and even the series.
Arnprior Council agreed with a staff recommendation Monday to buy a truck from Reid Bros. to replace an aging vehicle. Mayor David Reid excused himself from the decision-making process, which was between two dealerships. The winning bid was for $18,871. Arnprior Chrysler offered a truck for $24,700.

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

#3940 Abby
#3969 Dolly
This curious little cat is searching for a new home.
Dolly is a very sweet girl and would love for you to welcome into your home. Dolly is a senior dog. At nine years old, she was brought to the shelter because her owner became sick and could no longer take care of her. She is quiet and a little shy at first but once she knows you she is quite affectionate. She would be an ideal pet for a senior, she likes going for short walks and enjoys squeaky toys. Dolly is good with cats but is unsure of children. Please consider adopting this sweet little girl.
Abby was found in a shed with her five kittens. All her kittens have found homes and now its Abby’s turn. Abby is affectionate on her terms and enjoys being petted. She is a busy and active cat who loves to explore. She does not like other animals and would be best suited in a home where she is the only pet. Abby is at the Arnprior Pet Value for viewing. Please consider adopting this pretty little girl, she will make a wonderful companion.

KAYLA REINERT, DON GOUGEON Youth Corner
The ice is out, which is a sure sign of spring. With the ice being out, the slab is drying out and becoming ready for ball hockey. We are ready to run the program for the second year. Ball hockey has a history that, ironically, doesn’t directly relate back to ice hockey. Before ball hockey became what it is today, it was called ‘hurling’. This was an Irish game that included hurling a ball into the net. Canada became the first country to organize actual ball hockey leagues, followed shortly by the United States back in the 1960s. The sport didn’t become international until 1991 (Wikipedia). What a better way to show our entrance into the sport than by registering for our youth ball hockey league. Our ball hockey is non-competitive and is open to all skill levels. We made some changes from last year and while we will not be having a tournament with Renfrew, we will be doing a group skills competition and fun day at
the end of the year. Our goal is to have fun! We have also added a bantam age group for those who want to keep playing. A special thanks to all our team sponsors. Our ball hockey is great. We run on Wednesday nights, from 5 to 6 p.m. for the bantams, 6-7 p.m. for the novice, 7 to 8 p.m. for atoms and 8 to 9 p.m. for pee wee ages. All teams in each age group play at the same time, so it makes it easy for transportation. We found that winter went by too quickly and ball hockey is scheduled to start next week. So for those people who didn’t get a chance to register in the program on its deadline of April 13, we will extend the deadline to Sunday, April 17. No registrations will be accepted past this date. Registration is $50 for the 10 weeks. We still need coaches, referees and timekeepers. Contact Kayla at the Nick Smith Centre if interested. Fencing has started this week
and we are excited to have so many people interested in the program. A special thanks to Ottawa Fencing for spending their time to come down and instruct the classes. There is more to come. Next
week we will talk about our Tile-Making program, and then comes our High School Youth Only Whitewater Kayaking program. To register for any of our spring or summer programs,
registration must be done in person at the Nick Smith Centre. For more information, contact Kayla or Don at the Nick Smith Centre, 623-7301, email kreinert@arnprior.ca or on Facebook ‘Nick Smith Centre’.

Four Arnprior youths attracted the wrong type of attention on Madawaska Boulevard in the wee hours of April 2. Arnprior OPP Const. Drew Dunfield observed a red Chevrolet Cavalier westbound at 2:18 a.m. with four males inside. After stopping the vehicle, Dunfield found the 21-year-old Arnprior driver had been consuming alcohol and had an expired driver’s license. There was open beer inside the vehicle, he says. As a result of his investigation, the driver has been charged with impaired driving and driving with no license. The other three Arnprior males in the car, two 20-year-olds and an 18-year-old received Provincial Offences Act tickets.

Renfrew Ontario Provincial Police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a vehicle involved in a parking lot collision in Ottawa that might be related to a much more serious crash that killed a driver near Arnprior March 31. OPP released the appeal last week about a week after the March 31 crash involving a suspected impaired driver resulted in the death of 50-year-old Bryan Casey of Ottawa. Police report a driver of a black Ford Expedition was reversing out of a parking spot in the parking lot nearest the Crazy Horse and Jack Aster’s restaurants in the Kanata Centrum at about 7:30 p.m. March 31. The driver allegedly backed into a vehicle and fled the scene. The struck vehicle is described as either a Mazda 3, or a navy blue four-door sedan and would have sustained damage to the rear bumper area. The fatal motor vehicle collision on Highway 17 just west of White Lake Road occurred

The Arnprior Community Choir is celebrating 20 years. The choir has been making music and providing local audiences with choral concerts since 1991. On Sunday, May 1 at 7:30 p.m., you can celebrate along with the choir members as they present their final program this season. The Arnprior Community Choir has prepared a spectacular evening of classical music in the heritage church of St. Peter Celestine in Pakenham. The featured work is ‘Come Ye Sons of Art’ by Henry Purcell. Written as a birthday ode to Queen Mary (1694), this is a light and joyful work. Featured are three soloists, a live chamber orchestra, a guest conductor and of course, the choir. The church will be ringing with trumpet, oboe, flute, strings and bassoon – a true celebration. Since the choir’s inception, a mandate has been to support local young musicians as they pursue further musical studies. Fittingly, the choir will be joined by Renfrew soprano, Jennifer Slight, who has returned from the Maritimes, now working on a second degree from Queen’s. Joining Jennifer are Lisa Webber, alto, and a fine young Ottawa bass, Kyle Merrithew, who is currently in the vocal performance degree program at the University of Ottawa. If this wasn’t enough, the audience will be in for more: the choir is pleased to welcome guest conductor Jiri Hlavacek. Arnprior audiences will recognize him from the music department at Arnprior District High School. Until his retirement, Hlavacek conducted various bands at the
high school, played keyboard for musical productions and provided much encouragement to aspiring musicians. As well, special guests TRIA will be featured. The Ottawabased vocal duet ensemble – Judith Vachon, soprano; Lisa Webber, mezzo soprano; and Sonja Deunsch Plourde on the virginals – has been on CBC, local Ottawa concert series and most recently, the Musical Arts Club of Ottawa gala concert. The Arts are alive and well in Arnprior! The Arnprior Community Choir is thriving and welcomes new members each session. What better way to spend a spring evening than being transported back to 1694 listening to ‘Sing and Celebrate’. Tickets are available at the Arnprior Book Shop and choir members. For more information, The Arnprior Community Choir is hosting a special 20th anniversary concert with plenty of special guests call 613-623-7293.

PLUMB(ING) CO-OP POSITIONS MacPherson’s Plumbing and Heating has two co-op students from Arnprior District High School this term. Michael Cheslock and Brandon Racine are learning the trade from Kevin Kilby, Jarrod Clemens, Dave Hopewell Randy Trimble and Matt MacMillan. The coop program is working well because of the continued support it is getting from employers such as MacPherson’s, said coop teacher Shirley Stevenson. She noted that both students are doing very well at McPherson’s and want to pursue the trade as a career option. The co-op program gives students hands-on experience so they can make an informed decision in taking appropriate steps towards their careers. From left are Clemens (plumbing and heating), Cheslock, Kilby (plumbing, heating and air conditioning), Racine and Hopewell (plumbing). Missing are Trimble (plumbing) and MacMillan (apprentice). MacPherson’s has taken co-op students for several years. Photo by John Carter
FIGHTING BEACH VANDALISM

With the Bristol-to-Braeside River Drive coming up June 25, organizing committee chairman Dan Smith is urging residents to be vigilant and report littering and vandalism at the Braeside Beach. After being alerted by a neighbour last Thursday, Smith took these photographs. He says there was a Dodge Grand Caravan (plate Ontario ATBV 756) in the park and while he is sure the owners were not responsible for the garbage, broken glass and vehicle damage to the grass, they may have seen who did. In presenting the photographs to the township, he said he is encouraging committee members to be vigilant, take pictures of incidents and record license numbers. A Neighbourhood Watch type program is one of the best means of promoting security, he notes.

While the majority of “our” birds are still slowly winging their way back from southern hiatuses, some hardier species have already started building nests. Over the past couple of weeks I have watched American Crows carrying sticks to lofty sites in pines. As mentioned in last week’s column, the fierce competition for cavities in trees (and nest boxes) has also begun. Some Eastern Bluebirds, which are cavity–adopting birds, have already laid their eggs in nests lined with soft grasses. Tree Swallows, which only recently returned, are competing for those same sites. Swallow nests, however, are lined with soft white feathers, making them readily distinguishable from those made by bluebirds. While bluebirds and swallows are celebrated for their beauty, European Starlings, also cavity-adopting birds, receive little fanfare. Yet, upon close inspection they too can be seen to possess great beauty. The tawny feather tips that gave these short-tailed birds a spotted appearance
through winter have worn away, revealing a stunning green and purple iridescence. Their bills have also gone through a dramatic visual change, with black now turning to yellow. Michael Runtz Like other birds, starlings Nature’s Way expend a great amount of energy collecting nest materials. Many songbirds make up to 1,000 trips before their nests are completed. In addition for the main structure, which is usually made from local building materials to conserve energy and help hide the nest, materials are also gathered for the lining and outer surface. Because starlings nest in cavities, they have no need to disguise the outer walls
of their nests with camouflage. Thus, the effort to gather mosses, as do Eastern Phoebes, or lichens, as do Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, or dead leaves, as do Wood Thrushes, is not expended. But starlings still expend additional effort that is not shared by most other songbirds. When their nest is nearing completion, starlings add special materials. They add live plants, with preference given to Yarrow, a common non-native wildflower. Hawks also add green material to their nests, but not Yarrow. They add green sprigs of Hemlock and other conifers. So why the plants? At first it was believed the material was a decoration of sorts. It was speculated that hawks were telling other birds that might usurp a vacant nest that theirs is occupied and to look elsewhere. Of no surprise, a more important role for the greenery has been ascertained. It seems the dying plants release chemicals that leach through a nest, deterring insect parasites. In one experiment, Yarrow was re-
moved from the nests of starlings. In those nests the baby starlings suffered much higher infestations of Blow Flies than did the babies in nests where Yarrow was left intact! When we think about the tremendous time and effort birds spend just to build containers for their eggs and young, we can do little but admire them. While Debbie Travises they may not be, a number of local birds do have some fascinating home decorating tricks up their wings! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Thank You I would like to thank everyone who attended Wade’s service and Celebration of Life on March 12th. Wade would have been so humbled and proud to see how many people loved and cared for him. I would like to thank my friends, Kelly, Terri, Jenn, Jules, Tracy, Susie, Karen T., Jacki, Sandra, Lisa Laplante and Karen B for their love and support not only after Wade’s passing but also for being there for me and the children over the last two most difficult years of our life. Wade loved you all! To Wade’s most unique group of friends Karb, Chicken Bone, Sully, Armsden, England, Sparky, Duff, McDermid, John Scott, Wills, Landon, Aldridge, Scob, O’Hara and Connelly just to name a few, he loved each and every one of you like brother. I know you will continue to be a part of our life and share your stories of Wade with our children. A special Thank You to Reg Laplante my friend, for helping get the boys suited up and looking perfect on March 12th. To M. Sullivan and Sons, especially Paul and his team for their quick response when I needed help. To Tiffany and the Antrim Truck Stop, thank you so much for the delicious food at the Parish Hall.

OBST, Wanda
To my Mom and Dad, who loved Wade like one of their own, who have supported me and continue to support me and the kids through this most difficult time –Thank you!!
In memory of a dear, fun and loving sister and aunt, who was taken tragically in a car accident, April 23, 2003 Time passes – our grief remains…. You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you cannot see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she’s gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she’d want; Smile, open your eyes , love and go on.
To Wade’s sister Tanya, who worked so hard to make sure that everything and anything was done to keep Wade with us, he appreciated all your efforts so much, as do I and the children. To my Wade, my heart aches that you are gone, but is also full with the memories that we have shared over the last 20 years, thank you for always letting me know how much you loved me through the good and bad times. Your strength and courage over the last 2 years was unbelievable “Baby I’m Amazed by you”!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in supporting me during and since the fire that destroyed my home February 2, 2011. Thank you to the many firemen who worked so hard to extinguish the fire and to my church community who was with me from those early moments of the tragedy and thank you to George Wilson and Norma Baird who organized a wonderful benefit for me on March 18, 2011. The Indian River Band, all of the women and men who made and served the delicious luncheon, the Fair Board who donated the hall and to those who donated items for the silent auction THANK YOU. A special thank you to the people of the community who came out to the benefit and generously donated and for all of your prayers, cards, and words of love and support they will never be forgotten. I will rebuild in this community knowing that people really care. Thank you to my family who are there for me everyday with love and support and a place to live and heal and thank you to Garry and Denise Payeur who allowed me and my family to be in their home on that heartbreaking night. Thanks to Brenda and John Baird who called 911 when the telephone lines were not working and thanks to all those people who I have never met who took time out of their lives to send me a card and their best wishes.
