Bust goes awry Raid a success ... second time around

DEREK DUNN

The number of boos for Cheryl Gallant was outnumbered only by the number of cheers for Hec Clouthier at an all-candidates’ meeting at Arnprior District High School on Tuesday evening. After the lively two-hour forum featuring all ﬁve Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke candidates in the federal election, Gallant, the Conservative incumbent, brushed off her rough ride from many of the 250 people in the crowd by saying her supporters were ordered to remain respectful, but the same might not have been done for others. Liberal challenger Christine Tabbert, whose responses met largely with polite applause, said the “colourful” independent candidate Clouthier beneﬁtted from family members in the audience. It was an assertion Clouthier later rebutted by saying many of the cheers he enjoyed were from local residents. See ‘ARNPRIOR’ Page 6

The OPP reported to the media about a successful end to an Arnprior apartment raid on Friday morning, April 15. But the Chronicle-Guide learned the day started out as anything but a success for Arnprior resident Steven Carrigan. Carrigan was abruptly awoken at about 7 a.m. to the sound of his door being smashed in at 8789 Claude St. Then he heard what he called a “stun grenade” explode on his son’s bed, just inside the door of the apartment. The 19-year-old wasn’t home at the time, which is a good thing because it blew a hole through his bedspread and embedded black marks on the wall. Seconds later, according to Carrigan, 15 to 20 police – some in quasi-military fatigues – were in his adjacent bedroom pointing riﬂes and screaming at him to raise his arms.

A fire at the home of McNab-Braeside Councillor Bob Campbell last Friday could have been worse if it were not for the hard work of firefighters, according to the township’s fire chief. Coun. Bob Campbell, elected to McNab-Braeside council last fall, escaped a blaze on the second floor and attic of his 110-year-old Usborne Street farmhouse, located between Braeside and Carmichael Side Road. There were no injuries. See ‘FIREFIGHTERS’ Page 2

Firefighters credited with saving much of township farmhouse Continued from front The call came at 9:40 p.m. on April 15, said fire chief Ken Walton. “The crews performed very well,” Walton said. “For the amount of fire, the age of the home; for us to walk away with it still standing is a testament to the hard work of firefighters.” Although there was $165,000 worth of damage to the structure and contents, another $150,000 was saved. Campbell said that while still standing, the home built around 1900 will have to be gutted and the roof replaced. It will probably take six to eight months to make it habitable again, he added. In the meantime, he is living with his sister. He did have insurance.

Sullivan’s wins platinum award

JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Canada now knows what Arnprior area residents have known for years. M. Sullivan & Son Ltd. is a well-managed company. In fact, it one of the top 50 best managed companies in the country. Repeatedly winning that award (seven years out of eight) has earned the Arnprior-based construction company the prestigious platinum award. A group of 10 company ofﬁcials were in Toronto March 29 to receive the award. “It certainly an endorsement of the way we do things,” said vice-president Greg Sullivan, who runs the company’s Kingston ofﬁce. The grand old man of the company, its honourary president and CEO Tom Sullivan, was delighted with the honour, but not surprised. “When a company’s been around for 97 years, you must be doing something right,” he said. Sullivan knows full well what the company has been doing right. It’s been recognized for its commitment to excellence and emphasis on treating its employees fairly, he said. FAMILY FEELING M. Sullivan & Son has 130 employees, which rises to about 250 in the summer, with an annual payroll of close to $12 million. “We’ve built this company around our employees … we consider everyone who works here part of the family.” Sullivan said some employees like working for the company so much they stay on long after the normal retirement age. Take Gibby Tourangeau, for instance. The 86-year-old started with Sullivan’s at about age 17 and is still going strong. That makes for an experienced, highly skilled workforce, he said. “I’m very proud of our people.”

Sullivan said the company values its employees and takes care of them. “If they’re sick, we’re sick.” However, in return they expect employees to work hard and go where the jobs are. “Quality is what the Sullivan sells,” said Tom Sullivan. “If you can’t do it right, don’t do it at all … or do it again until it’s done properly … we don’t stand for second class work.” LAYERS OF EXCELLENCE Greg Sullivan said the company’s high quality work begins with the expertise of its superintendents and project managers. “There are two layers of excellence right there,” he said, adding that all employees take pride in the quality of their work.” That work pays off in a good reputation and repeat customers, said Tom Sullivan. That reputation has spread far and wide, as the company has branched out to take on major jobs all over Ontario, as well as in Quebec, the Maritimes and even the U.S. Sullivan said another reason that it’s been so successful is that it embraces innovative ways to do things. It was the ﬁrst company to perfect a method to pour cement in the winter, he noted. “We’re always striving for excellence … working on ways we can do things better.” But while the company is ﬂexible and open to new technology and methods, it still lives by the small town principles of hard work, common sense and keeping one’s word, he said. Sullivan said the company has always been prudent, ensuring it is well capitalized to withstand the slow times. The construction business is cyclical, so it’s important to be able to keep top employees on the payroll even in between jobs, he said. “Renfrew County has been real good to us and we’ve been good to Renfrew County,” he said. “We’ve employed a lot of workers … fed

a lot of people.” Another mainstay of the company’s success is its community involvement. The firm has supported many local causes and projects, the latest being a $100,000 donation to the Bonnechere Manor auditorium campaign. Sullivan has always been a community booster, serving as reeve, deputy mayor and mayor of Arnprior for more than two decades. The Platinum Award is just the latest in a number of awards won by the company. Two years ago. as he was on the verge of retirement, Tom Sullivan was awarded the Jock Tindale Memorial Award for his integrity and commitment to high Presenting M.

Postal workers back strike vote Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) members could go out on strike as early as May 25. The union received a strong strike mandate this week, but it does not mean there will be a work stoppage at Canada Post. Meetings between Canada Post and CUPW aimed at reach-

ing a new collective agreement continue with the help of a conciliator. Canada Post says it is optimistic a negotiated settlement can be reached because under its proposal CUPW members “will continue to enjoy some of the best wages and beneﬁts in Canada.” 444450

I’m naked because the blan- a Joint Forces Unit under the ket’s off,” Carrigan said. “And they are screaming at me (the suspect’s name) who lives downstairs. And I said, ‘No, I’m Steven. He’s downstairs’.” Carrigan was still rattled by the experience later that morning, and claimed the ringing was still in his head. However, it was the fact police would act that way knowing the true suspects had children inside their apartment that bothers him most. “I know they took the parents away and found some drugs and guns. But what’s the policy that says they can blow up a children’s room,” Carrigan said. “If this is the policy, watch your children.” One of the suspects, Jessica Taylor, was holding her infant daughter minutes after police exited Carrigan’s apartment and entered her’s, again pointing guns. This time in her face. Had the stun grenade gone off on her other daughter’s bed, she could have been harmed. OPP won’t comment on methods used in this case, but confirmed they got the wrong apartment the first time around. A press release makes no mention of that. It does report the bust was made by members of the Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau’s Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit (PWEU), assisted by members of the bureau’s Drug Enforcement Unit, OPP Tactical Response Team, OPP Emergency Response Team and the Arnprior OPP Detachment. When the search warrant was exercised in the ground floor apartment, a female, 19, and male, 24, both of Arnprior, were taken into custody. They face charges of possession of a prohibited weapon and possession of marijuana. OPP reports seizing a stun gun and marijuana in the raid. The male faces further charges of possession of a prohibited weapon while prohibited and possession of ammunition while prohibited. The investigation is continuing and police are asking anyone with more information to call the Crime Stoppers or the Arnprior OPP at 613-623-3131. Sgt. Kristine Rae said procedures used when weapons are believed present have evolved over many years and are meant to protect both officers and the public. She said the lead OPP investigator spoke extensively with the person in the upstairs after the mistake was learned. OPP and the landlord will work out the cost of damages, she said. Every operation is reviewed internally in an effort to extract best practices, Rae said. She added that a written complaint to the detachment would likely prompt an investigation by the national professional standards branch of the OPP.

Victim of police mistake: ‘If this is the policy, watch your children’

Arnprior all-candidates forum features lively debate Continued from front The strongest reaction came following a question about giving more money to the disabled and low income seniors. Clouthier was last to speak, reminding people the question was directed at individual candidates and not party platforms. He vowed to act on constituentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; calls for help, be they major or minor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about these airy, fairy party policies,â&#x20AC;? he said, to huge applause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned about the people.â&#x20AC;? NDP candidate Eric Burton said paving the way for protecting pensions to prevent another Nortel ďŹ asco when creditors got paid but retired workers were left with little was crucial. He also touched on reversing military pension clawbacks. On a similar topic earlier, Burton spoke movingly about his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precursor introducing the old age pension system as its ďŹ rst piece of legislation. He considers helping seniors as his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top priority. He also said Conservative plans to cut taxes for the largest corporations means less money for seniors, and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help his party move long-term care and homecare into the universal health care system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we show seniors the respect they deserve after spending a lifetime working to build this great nation,â&#x20AC;? said Burton, an Arnprior resident, to mild applause. Green candidate Rosanne Van Schie, an economic development ofďŹ cer and bio-energy farmer, was the only candidate to talk about the ridingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forestry industry shipping pellets to southern Ontario to ďŹ ll the electricity-generating void created after the province ends coal ďŹ re use in 2014. Van Schie spoke with feeling when she talked about assigning heritage status to the Ottawa River,

The ďŹ ve Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke candidates took questions on everything from job creation to funding seniors at the Arnprior session before a crowd of about 250. something county municipalities, the province, four candidates and Conservative members other than Gallant want in place to attract tourists. However, the crowd bordered on angry when the divisive long gun registry was raised. Van Schie won applause when she said it detracted from â&#x20AC;&#x153;real issues.â&#x20AC;? Burton said after consulting with a sexual assault centre, he would vote to keep it. Tabbert said with twothirds of Canadians in favour, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be struck down, but modiďŹ cations should be put in place. Clouthier said the issue is kept alive by the Conservatives as a way to re-elect weak MPs like 11-year incumbent Gallant. He also reminded the crowd Prime Minister Stephen Harper voted in favour of the gun registry on its ďŹ rst two readings in the House of Commons. Gallant, reading from a prepared statement as she did on many occasions, said a majority Conservative government is needed to end the registry. Boos were accompanied by heckles from the back of the room. When she said â&#x20AC;&#x153;those of us with principles,â&#x20AC;? much of the room erupted in laughter. Still, a small contingent of eight in the front row clapped furiously. Job creation was another popular topic raised by various questioners.

Tabbert and Burton had the most concrete proposals. The Liberal candidate talked about offering small employers â&#x20AC;&#x153;an unemployment insurance holidayâ&#x20AC;? of three years for hiring youths. The NDP candidate drew on his experience helping to create an economic development ofďŹ cer in Arnprior, which has paid off in ďŹ lling industrial facilities previously vacant. Clouthier stuck to his theme of working closely with employers, speciďŹ cally those looking to attract doctors, by sitting in at the interview stage to promote ridingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various communities. Gallant talked about job creation in Petawawa and infrastructure projects that beneďŹ ted from federal tax dollars. During closing remarks, Clouthier said the Conservatives were no better than Liberals on cutting taxes because Harper was involved in Ontario getting the single largest tax increase in the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history: the HST. Burton called competing with China and India a â&#x20AC;&#x153;race to the bottomâ&#x20AC;? and asserted Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best way to protect its standard of living is to invest in education, resource sustainability and stable government. Tabbert said Gallant has been an embarrassment to the riding and Clouthier would be ineffective unless he were part of a team. Van Schie said now the

Aerospace workers reject call for major concessions john.carter@metroland.com

If the result of a strike vote by employees at Arnprior Aerospace on the weekend is any indication, a strike is highly likely. However, both sides are expressing cautious optimism some sort of accommodation can be reached during mediation talks next month. Facing what their union negotiator called “the most regressive offer” he’s seen in 28 years on the job, the members of the International Association of Machinists (IAM), Local 1542 rejected a company offer and supported a strike vote Saturday. With mediation scheduled for May 17 and 18, the earliest the IAM members, who are close to 400 strong at the Arnprior plant, can go on strike is May 19. IAM negotiator Bill Shipman said both weekend votes “were very, very strong” in favour of rejecting the contract offer and supporting a strike if need be. One report had 100 per cent of the membership voting no on the contract and 97 per cent supporting the strike vote. Shipman said the company’s offer includes an 18 per cent pay cut. When a clawback of several beneﬁts is included, “it adds up to much more than that (18 per cent),” he said. “It’s a huge hit.” The offer so incensed 20-year employee Michael Salter that he sent the details to several provincial politicians, including

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. The former Boeing plant has long been a “pillar of the economy” in the Ottawa Valley, but the proposed new wage scale for new hires will pay them McDonald’s restaurant rates, he said. Salter said he understands the company has to make some difficult decisions, but five days work for four days pay in a time of a rising cost of living “is not a fair request.” Shipman said employees made concessions in the last contract five years ago to give the new owner time to get established. The company had indicated at that time that it wouldn’t ask for major concessions, but warned workers productivity would have to rise if pay rates and benefits were to be maintained. Shipman said that in light of the concessions in the last contract, workers expected something better this time, not a large large step backwards. Arnprior Aerospace has “sophisticated, seasoned” workers who knows full well the consequences of their votes, he added. Despite the sides being far apart, Shipman said he is still hopeful “we can come up with a solution to this problem.” However, the company will have to move significantly on its offer, he said. The company declined official comment, although a spokesman said management is hopeful the mediation process will result in an amicable agreement as has been the case in the past.

Excessive force

Pitbull laws will be enforced

Many positions of authority that were immune to criticism in the past have lost much of that respect today: priests, doctors and, yes, police ofﬁcers. The reason includes a society moving away from faith toward scepticism. But individuals in each of these positions have ushered it along with some shameless behaviour. There is no question police used excessive force in the case detailed in today’s front page story. Is it a case of boys wanting to use the toys we buy for them, or is it about protecting themselves to a level that borders on overkill? One is reminded of the stapler-wielding Polish immigrant killed by police at Vancouver International Airport. To say an investigation from outside the OPP is needed is to state the obvious. But don’t hold your breath. The OPP continue to enjoy remnants of past faith. Let’s hope this incident at least diminishes some of it. Incidentally, at a time when most residents are insulted by the outrageous increase the OPP is demanding to police Arnprior, we have to wonder how much more the taxpayer will be forced to pay for all the additional ofﬁcers used in this case.

The friends Gallant keeps Who is Nobody expands to four schools Within hours of the federal candidates’ meeting at Arnprior District High School on Tuesday night, someone put Cheryl Gallant signs on every Bell Street property leading up to the school. The signs appeared only on one side of the road, the one facing cars heading in that direction. And the signs weren’t there earlier in the afternoon. Does that make you a little suspicious that perhaps not everyone living on that side of Bell Street is a Gallant supporter? It made us wonder, which is why we went knocking on doors. Turns out – wait for it – the homeowners were shocked to see the signs put there. It’s blatantly immoral to mislead Arnprior residents into believing Gallant has more supporters than she actually does. Asked about the stunt, Gallant’s campaign manager Brendan Mulvihill said it must have been an “overzealous” campaign volunteer. He didn’t plan on ﬁnding out which one and having them removed from the team. After all, why judge someone who simply can’t help being an enthusiastic supporter? Here’s why: because you are judged by the friends you keep. Who spots a pattern emerging?

To the editor: Two years ago, the Rotary Club of Arnprior introduced two of these Who is Nobody (WIN) mentoring and educational programs into local schools in Arnprior and area. This past fall the two schools recharged their WIN Kits and two more brand new WIN Kits were distributed to two more schools making four the total now in use in Arnprior and surrounding district (A.J. Charbonneau, McNab, St. Joseph’s and Walter Zadow). We are hoping for some fantastic WIN graduation events in the near future. WIN is an excellent educational program that helps with team work and the building of self-conﬁdence, esteem and character. The students are learning how to

To the editor: Last week, another unfortunate incident occurred in Ottawa, regarding an attack on a small dog, on a leash, by a Pitbull. Whether or not you agree with the laws regarding restrictions on Pitbulls or Pitbull mixes, restrictions are in place to protect these incidents. These restrictions are under DOLA, Dog Owners Liability Act, and were amended in 2005. This Act prohibits anyone from having a Pitbull or Pitbull type dog unless owned previous to Aug. 29, 2005. Pitbull refers to Pitbull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pitbull and any dog that has the appearance and physical characteristics that are substantially similar to those dogs referred to as Pitbull. Anyone who possesses a Pitbull or Pitbull type or mix is required by law to have it spayed/ neutered and must be leashed and muzzled. This Act is in place to make people responsible for bites or attacks on a person or other domestic animal. The Dog Ownership and Liability Act is enforced by local municipalities, police services, and the Ontario SPCA. There has been pressure lately, from the public, to address this Act, which means that local municipalities (bylaw) will be strictly enforcing these laws. Another area where the law is being enforced is the requirement of having yearly rabies shots for your pet. Some people are misinformed that if their puppy or kitten gets the rabies shot when it has its ﬁrst shots, that it is good for the life of the pet. This is absolutely not true, and again I stress that the law requires it done yearly. This is all part of responsible pet ownership.

the Speaker of the House of Commons would probably ask the Independent to come and sit on his lap. If independents could be so effective, how come a hundred or so don’t become independents the moment they get elected? Well, maybe at least 10? For goodness

sake, at least one? Doesn’t happen! All of them know that they need to be a part of their party’s caucus to build support and serve their ridings effectively. We are fortunate to have several good candidates running for election in this

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Conservative candidate Cheryl Gallant was late for the all-candidates meeting in Cobden April 14 because she had scheduled a teletown hall session with federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz that evening. Gallant said that more than 2,000 people participated in the event and she and Ritz took 14 calls in the hour. At least 10 were from farmers and all 14 were on issues of concern to farmers, she said. Questions ranged from the price of beef tags to controls on importation of Chinese garlic. Gallant said tele-town halls are an important way voters can pose questions, particularly as “many people can’t make the drive to candidates meetings, especially with today’s gas prices.” Gallant said that anyone not having the opportunity to ask their question within the hour was encouraged to record their question afterwards so she could follow up with answers before May 2. ACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE In a press release Saturday, RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke NDP candidate Eric Burton said he is running in part because

climate change calls for immediate action. In a pre-Earth Day call, Burton said that “for too long now we have been silent while our water and air have been poisoned. We need to turn the page and build a sustainable future for generations to come.” He said that with fossil fuels growing scarce, Canada needs leadership that makes a priority of a clean environment and clean energy. The country should adopt a mix of public investment and market solutions in order to create work in green technology, conservation and renewable energy, he added. Burton said the NDP will reinstate federal financial incentives for clean power, including solar, wind, water, tidal, biomass, and other renewable sources of industrial co-generation “That’s the kind of investment we need here in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke,” he said. Developing a wood-fired co-generation facility and crop and wood fibre processing and management plant “could sustain the local forestry sector, create renewable electricity and add value to local agricultural production,” said Burton. “It’s a

win-win-win solution.” EI HOLIDAY At an all-candidates meeting hosted by the Arnprior Chamber of Commerce Tuesday, Renfrew- Nipissing-Pembroke Liberal candidate Christine Tabbert announced she supports a holiday from EI payments for small businesses, in order to encourage local employment.

Dr Paul Sly

Tabbert said she is greatly concerned about employment prospects for youth in this riding. By announcing the policy, she hopes to stimulate jobs for youth and encourage small businesses to hire and retain young people. “For too long the Harper government has ignored the job prospects for young people,” she said.

Independent candidate Hec Clouthier travels down the main street of Arnprior last week as part of his “travelling roadshow” campaign to try to win back the riding of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. The driver is one of Clouthier’s three sons, Tyler.

Billboard approach for Clouthier STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Independent candidate Hec Clouthier is running his federal election campaign out of his Petawawa home, and on the road. He and campaign supporters have four trucks out and about in the riding of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke with billboard signs sporting Clouthier’s likeness from a painting done several years ago and motto, “Give ‘em Hec!” “To run a credible campaign you have to spend between $40,000 and $50,000, and I plan to spend that,” said Clouthier. However, he says advertising and other campaign expenses mean he doesn’t have the ﬁnances to open campaign ofﬁces across the riding. The travelling billboards will help deal

with that shortfall, says Clouthier. He says donations are coming in, but admits changes a few years ago to the Elections Finances Act make fundraising more difﬁcult, since campaign donations must be personal, but not business, contributions. “It’s problematic, but it’s problematic for the other candidates too.” Clouthier has made travelling-billboard visits to Arnprior and Renfrew, as well as to such other communities as Combermere, Barry’s Bay, Eganville, Killaloe, Pembroke and Petawaw to spread his message. “Every day you have to be out there,” insisted Clouthier, who was elected the local Liberal MP in 1997. He was defeated by current Conservative Cheryl Gallant in 2000. She has remained the MP since then.

Game on: Candidates square off for second straight night STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant wasn’t supposed to attend the Renfrew County Ontario Federation of Agriculture’s allcandidates forum because of a conflicting tele-town hall with local farmers and the federal agricultural minister last Thursday. But Gallant’s appearance half-way through the forum still allowed her to leave a strong impression with the audience. The other four candidates also received favourable response after moderator Bob Johnston began the night by advising the crowd of more than 150 people and candidates to avoid inflammatory remarks. One member of the crowd took exception to one of Independent candidate Hec Clouthier’s comments, but Johnston held order and the tone of the event was mostly conciliatory. Nevertheless, several times candidates were critical of the performance of the Conservative Party and Gallant. One of those moments occurred when a man took the microphone to say he was the victim of a violent crime in the workplace, but was still waiting for action from his federal member of Parliament. Gallant said, “I believe members of my office have met with you … and I can’t go into the details of your case. It would be inappropriate to do so, but we do need to work together with the Province on issues that involve the workplace.” AGGRESSIVE LIBERAL RESPONSE Liberal Christine Tabbert, who’s a lawyer, went further. “The very least your member of Parliament can do when you’ve been through something like that is to meet with you, and at least hear your story,” said Tabbert. “First of all, I would meet with you and hear your story.” Secondly, Tabbert spoke about a former client “whose brother is actually in the room tonight, and who himself was also the victim of a very violent crime. And when I started working on his case … his case didn’t go to court for 10 years, and I stuck with that case … and we ultimately got a very, very satisfactory result for that client. And that’s the kind of commitment I’m bringing to be your member of Parliament.” Seconds later, NDP candidate Eric Burton provided some levity to the situation. To applause and laughter from the crowd,

he said, “I’ve pencilled you in for nine o’clock Tuesday, May 3.” One questioner observed the government’s cabinet had been reduced to rubber-stamping decisions because of the power of the Prime Minister’s Ofﬁce. “What will your party do to stop this trend by a virtual dictator and his staff ?” he asked. This opened the door for Clouthier to say that his former boss, Prime Minister Jean Chretien was a “control freak,” but that PM Stephen Harper was a “master control freak. You cannot move on Parliament Hill, as a member of the Conservative caucus, without clearance of the Prime Minister’s Ofﬁce. Believe me, I know how that system works, and it’s wrong. “That’s why I’m an Independent,” he concluded to loud applause. ‘BREAKDOWN OF DEMOCRACY’ “What we’re witnessing, historically, is the breakdown of democracy in Canada,” said Green Party candidate Rosanne Van Schie, in reference to two Conservative Party calls for prorogation of Parliament and, more recently, two contempt of Parliament charges against the Conservatives. “If this was to happen in the United States, the U.S. president would be impeached. And here (in Canada), we have him (the PM) seeking a new mandate. You (the public) are the only people who can bring justice to this ... I encourage you to vote May 2, and not for a majority Conservative government.” Gallant appeared much more relaxed than she was for the previous night’s forum at the Pembroke Sportsman’s Club. After her arrival half-way through Thursday’s OFA forum, she received strong applause for many of her answers. “I can assure you,” said Gallant, “that the laws we bring forth, the laws to keep our streets and families safe, to keep taxes low, to grow the economy … from matters of defence, agriculture, we start from the grassroots up, and before any bill comes forth, members of the caucus are consulted and we have direct input. “This is probably the most democratic party for quite a long time,” she added, before the end of her sentence was drowned out by a mixture of applause and groans. She then reminded the crowd that many in the riding have participated in the party’s policy development process. Tabbert said an elected Liberal government would post more government information online, provide more public

access to government information, and establish a public question period with the prime minister. Tabbert also took a dig at Harper, contrasting his lack of willingness to answer questions in public, with Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff ’s engagement with the public over the last 18 months. On another topic, Gallant received positive crowd reaction for saying what the Conservatives are doing to balance the challenge of regulatory burdens and food production costs by farmers. NDP ‘FOOD FOR THOUGHT’ Burton said the NDP’s own Food for Thought tour to 28 Canadian communities has generated several recommendations, including an alternative regulatory regime for small businesses. “This means you don’t have to be a multi-national corporation in Toronto, with a massive facility, to do the processing, packaging and distribution,” said Burton. “That can happen at a local level, with regulations in place for small-scale businesses.” Gallant said Canada has the best economy among G-20 countries and “we’re going to keep in that way by keeping taxes low” and growing the economy with more jobs and more job training. Tabbert said the Liberals will reduce the largest deficit in Canadian history, then invest in families without increasing taxes. “It’s about making smarter choices, “she stressed. Clouthier blamed the loss of 1,650 forestry jobs on the federal government’s failure, in the face of U.S. subsidies, to enforce the U.S.-Canada softwood lumber agreement. POSITIVE REACTION TO INDEPENDENT Some of the evening’s most positive reactions were reserved for Clouthier’s emphasis on how an Independent candidate wouldn’t have toe the party line, while speaking for the needs and wishes of his constituents. But one of the most resounding positive reactions was reserved for Gallant when she said: “Only a Conservative Party and a majority government will finally scrap the wasteful and inefficient longgun registry. “And I stand with farmers, hunters and rural Canadians who are treated like criminals by the official Opposition.” Tabbert, on the other hand, didn’t promise abolishment of the registry. She

said the Liberals would decriminalize the failure to register one’s firearm and eliminate all registration and renewal fees. “The real issue is: What can we realistically hope to achieve?” said Tabbert. Then in reference to Gallant, she added: “But I’m not going to promise you for five elections in a row that I will get rid of it, when I know I won’t.” Van Schie said the Green Party would remove firearms registration fees, and create longer prison sentences for those trafficking or committing crimes with firearms. “I welcome the local scrutiny, that’s the democratic process, and the democratic process makes Canada the best place in the world,” said Gallant in her closing remarks. “One thing is for sure, there are no easy answers. But I make the same promise I made in 2000, when I was first elected. I will continue to work tirelessly and do the best job I can on your behalf. ‘FROM THE MARKET PLACE, NOT THE MAILBOX’ “I will listen to farmers. You have told me you want to make your income from the market place, not the mailbox. You’ve told me you want new markets. Our government has listened.” In closing comments, Tabbert spoke about how much agriculture contributes “directly to our health, our economy and our values,” in and outside the riding. She also said voters could choose Gallant, who has “embarrassed” herself and constituents, or Clouthier, who served as the MP “without distinction” and now promises to get the job done because “he knows people in Ottawa.” Van Schie encouraged voters to elect the first Green Party member in Canada, while Burton said farmers have been left behind for so long, but that they can be empowered again “with a strong voice for rural Canadians … that we have built together.” “This is a job interview here tonight,” said Clouthier, reminding the audience that “as an independent (the other parties) will have to deal with me. “Sorry, Christine, I do know the people on Parliament Hill and they know me, and I think these people (in the Cobden hall) know that they know me … “At the end of the day, you can vote for the Green, you can vote for the NDP, you can vote for the Liberals, you can vote for the Conservatives, or you can vote for yourselves. If you vote for me, that’s voting for yourselves.”

Gallant walks out, Green candidate unimpressed john.carter@metroland.com

Conservative candidate Cheryl Gallant caused a stir Saturday when she walked out of an all-candidates forum being broadcast on Heritage Valley Radio, saying the debate was undemocratic because the Green Party had been “barred.” However, Green Party candidate Rosanne Van Schie said Monday she “didn’t buy” Gallant’s democracy argument. The Conservatives have a tainted record when it comes to democracy recently and their leader Stephen Harper didn’t call the televised leaders’ debates undemocratic when Green leader Elizabeth May was excluded, she said. Gallant read a brief statement at the start of the radio forum, saying in her four previous elections, “I have never participated in a candidate meeting where a candidate had been barred, and I’m not about to start now.” He comments drew applause from supporters, about half the audience, who then walked out with her, leaving the podium to Liberal Christine Tabbert, the NDP’s Eric Burton and Independent Hec Clouthier. The walkout angered moderator Bruce McIntyre, who said Gallant’s comments “degraded” the efforts of all the volunteers who worked hard to organize a nonpartisan debate. In a written response Monday entitled

Give Away Day!!! May 7th, 2011

“Shame on you, Mrs. Gallant,” McIntyre explained the Green Party was left out of the forum, which also is airing on COGECO television, because it didn’t respond by the April 8 deadline given the ﬁve candidates to conﬁrm their attendance. Instead, the debate organizers arranged with Van Schie to feature her in an exclusive one-hour interview on the radio station, he said. Van Schie said she had intended to participate in the radio debate, but her camp hadn’t realized there was a participation deadline. The media has a right to set their own rules for the forum, she said, adding she was pleased to accept the offer for an hour interview to be aired April 30. A member of the Valley Heritage Radio’s board of directors called her Monday to apologize for the mix-up, she added. Van Schie called Gallant’s comments strange and noted the Conservatives “don’t have a good record when it comes to democracy.” This is the party that twice prorogued Parliament, has been cited for contempt of Parliament and tried to stop students from voting last week at the University of Guelph, she said. In her prepared statement, Gallant said her campaign had found less than 24 hours before the debate that Green candidate had been “mislead” and denied participation.

How does Give Away Day work? Leave unwanted, reusable items at the end of your driveway with a sign labeled “FREE”. However, any items that are not claimed by 8:00 p.m. on May 7th must be removed from the curbside by the owner. What should I put out for Give Away Day? Items may include electronics, furniture, tools, lamps, dishes, toys, books, sports equipment, etc. All items must be reusable and in good working condition.

As long as there is a sign attached to the item that is labeled “FREE”, the item may be taken. Residents wishing to put items out for Give Away Day must place a sign labeled “FREE” on all items, so that there is no confusion. The Town of Arnprior is not responsible for any items. If the items are not taken, what should I do? Any items not claimed by 8:00 p.m. on May 7th, must be removed from the curbside by the owner. The Town of Arnprior will not be responsible for any unclaimed items and there will not be a special garbage collection. You could consider bringing the item to a second hand shop, posting the item on a website or in the newspaper, or asking friends and family. If the item is reusable and in good condition, there is likely someone that could use it! Please note that RAIN OR SHINE this event will continue! 463699

Gallant derided, Clouthier mends fences at forum STEVE NEWMAN

up just minutes from the sportsmen’s club, berated the present MP and her predecessor. Since her election in 2000, Gallant “has embarrassed herself, her party and her leader and, more importantly, she has embarrassed us,” said Tabbert. “Then you have a former MP (Clouthier) who represented this riding without distinction... and told us in 2000 to get a life. Now he would have you believe that as an independent he can be an effective representative because he knows people in Ottawa. Well, maybe 10 years ago, but not now. “Or you can elect me as your MP. I’m going to work to build our community. I’m going to listen to your concerns. And I will work hard for you in Ottawa. On election day you deserve better.”

steve.newman@metroland.com

Eleven years ago Hector Clouthier’s bid for a second term on Parliament Hill went up in smoke when he tried to defend the long-gun registry at the Pembroke Sportsman’s Club. Last Wednesday night Clouthier mended some fences. The Independent candidate and former Liberal MP appeared to be the winner in the five-candidate forum hosted by the club April 13. Clouthier admitted he paid dearly for attempts to justify a registry that the Liberal Party supported but that he, in his heart, did not. He also accused Gallant of fear-mongering, saying the Conservatives “need that wedge issue to hang over people’s heads.” An overflow crowd of about 200 packed the clubhouse to respond positively to many comments by candidates Eric Burton of the NDP, Rosanne Van Schie of the Green Party, Christine Tabbert of the Liberal Party, and Clouthier. But the crowd was clearly displeased with a few of the MP’s answers, including the one to Seana (Shea) Jones of Deep River. Jones, who referred to Gallant’s “recent public gaffes” while asking how she could “assure us today that you and this riding still have a voice within your party. “Also, to the other candidates, since you’re applying for the job, how do you plan on making your voice heard to advocate for our riding … if you’re elected?” Jones was referring to Gallant’s remarks in a February defence committee meeting in St. John’s, that Newfoundlanders making their living from the sea should take more responsibility for their own safety and not expect to be rescued by the Coast Guard. Gallant didn’t answer the question directly, but read from prepared notes, which didn’t fit well with the audience. She claimed “they weren’t upset with the gaffes. What they were really upset about was the fact that I raised the issue against that the Liberal leader is the father of the carbon tax,” and went on to say that the secondary issue was that she had exposed the issue about the Liberals’ cancelled contract for Sea King helicopters. Gallant went on to say that as a consequence “we had fishermen die unnecessarily. And we see (the opposite) in Afghanistan where we have the proper choppers in place and fewer people are being killed … And that’s really what it’s about.” As soon as she had spoken, a member

Independent candidate Hec Clouthier speaks as Liberal candidate Christine Tabbert looks on during the all-candidates forum at the Pembroke Sportsman’s Club. of the audience stood up, out of order, to say that he was “a little old and very confused,” but that he didn’t understand what she had just said. Tabbert’s reply was clearer. “She was asked about the comments, and she stood by them, so make no mistake, she should be able to answer you about them today,” said Tabbert. “My goodness gracious,” said Clouthier, “Mrs. Gallant can blame whoever she wants, the Liberals, the Conservatives, the Green Party, the NDP, Rin-Tin-Tin the dog, if you want. “But the bottom line is it was the prime minister of Canada, the biggest Conservative in the country who said, and I quote, ‘Your comments, Mrs. Gallant, were completely unacceptable and quite frankly incomprehensible.’ I can’t say it any better than the prime minister.” LONG-GUN REGISTRY Inevitably, there was a question about the long-gun registry, as each candidate weighed in on the issue. The audience was energized by comments made about the long-gun registry, particularly those made by Clouthier and Tabbert. “I lost an election because I toed the party line … my fault,” remarked Clouthier, who said he won’t be obligated to vote for bills along party lines, but according to what his constituents want. “It’s not democracy… it’s the will of

one individual, the party leader …But as an independent, they can’t put that piece of paper in front of me (about which bills to support or reject) … then I can speak on your behalf. I have leverage. I’ve got power then. And guess what, ladies and gentlemen, if I’ve got power, you’ve got power.” NDP candidate Burton said the registry was in response to a national tragedy (Marc Lepine’s 1989 massacre of 14 young women at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique). “It was rushed forward, costing way too much money; it was rushed forward without consultation in rural communities that would be affected by this legislation; and it was rushed forward without a close eye” on such important questions as whether it was the best way to ensure public safety and gun control. Van Schie, who’s not a hunter, spoke about the importance of hunting in the aboriginal culture while noting that she works as an economic advisor for the Algonquin First Nation of Wolf Lake. Clouthier pointed out that he never voted for the gun registry but that in 1995 Stephen Harper did. Gallant stressed that the PM has promised to scrap the registry. Tabbert was vague. After indicating that family members and neighbours are hunters, she said, “I think the process can unfold and still keep your rights (with guns).” The Toronto-based lawyer, who grew

Other issues raised in the forum included the future of the Petawawa Research Forest, a potential hydro project on the Petawawa River, the needs of seniors, Highway 417 extension, and hunting equality among aboriginals and nonaboriginals. Van Schie called for a national Rivers Preservation Act by forming a supportive alliance, including aboriginals, from across the country; and Burton criticized the “free pass” multi-national corporations get from the Conservatives. Van Schie also said the Conservatives give a free pass to the oil industry, while ignoring climate change and green-house gas emissions, and predicted: “Our generation will be voting Green and thinking about the environment, and we’re moving toward Green.” Or blue, if Gallant has her way as she did in the last election with 61 per cent of the vote. “In Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke,” she said in closing comments, “Canadians face a choice… between a low tax plan for jobs and growth, and a high-tax agenda that will kill jobs and set families back.” She said electing “a stable, national Conservative majority is good for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke and good for Canada. “I stand with farmers, hunters, rural Canadians who were treated like criminals by the Liberals and by the separatistNDP coalition because they own a rifle. “Only a Conservative-led majority government can be trusted to finally scrap the wasteful and inefficient long-gun registry,” she concluded to a mixture of clapping and groans.

Gallant walks out on live radio debate, Green candidate not impressed Continued from page 11 “It is pretty clear that the debate organizers are not acting in the best interests of democracy,” she said. Gallant suggested it is “absurd” to hold a debate on issues when Van Schie is excluded and a candidate (Clouthier) “with no party, no plans and no policies” is allowed. “To elevate spectacle over substance does a disservice to democracy,” she added. McIntyre said Gallant’s charge that debate organizers

misled the Green candidate was false and tarnished the reputation of a group of dedicated volunteers. He suggested Gallant’s walkout was an effort “to gain political points in the middle of a campaign.” He also accused Gallant’s campaign team of trying to persuade the Green Party to hold a protest outside radio station’s Burnstown Road studios during the forum. However, the Greens “showed incredible class and integrity and declined to take part in this childish and foolish pre-orchestrated stunt,” he said. “I congratulate

the local Green Party campaign for not engaging in this hurtful form of politics.” He said Gallant missed a golden opportunity to get her message across to people who wouldn’t otherwise attend a debate. “Shame on you for not allowing the thousands of listeners an opportunity to hear you debate the issues in a non-partisan atmosphere,” he wrote. “Many of these listeners are seniors who are often unable to attend debates because of circumstances beyond their control.”

Five ways to drive lean and clean ((NC)—By adopting these five driving behaviours, you can cut back on gas, save money, curb harmful emissions and improve safety on our roads. 1. Be mindful – Seatbelts and car seats revolutionized the way we drive and forever changed the way we think about safety and driving. Nowadays, the buzz is all about fuel efficiency, saving money and the environment. If you have never driven with fuel efficiency in mind, now is the time to start. Make it a priority and watch your pennies pile up. You could save as much as $500 a year in fuel costs and cut your carbon dioxide emissions by over 1,000 kilograms. 2. Become aware of your driving style and modify it accordingly – Are you aggressive, rushed, average or fuel–efficient? Natural Resources Canada identifies these four driving behaviours as significant factors in fuel efficiency and driving. Aggressive drivers focus on speed, rushed drivers focus on saving time, average drivers react to changes in traffic whereas fuel–efficient drivers are always mindful of how their driving will affect their fuel con-

sumption. 3. Think before you drive – Can you take public transit? One bus takes up to 40 cars off the road, saves as much as 70,000 litres of fuel and prevents nine tonnes of air pollutants from being emitted each year. Can you work from home? Telecommuting one day a week cuts the amount of fuel used to go to work by 20 per cent that week. Can you plan your route? Allow for fewer stoplights, intersections and pedestrian trafﬁc.

following the maintenance schedule in your vehicles owners’ manual, all help to keep your fuel consumption in check. Driving with fuel efﬁciency in mind takes time, knowledge, steady hands and feet and a sense of commitment. NRCan has more tips, tricks and trivia at www.vehicles. nrcan.gc.ca. www.newscanada.com

4. Avoid unnecessary idling – Some Canadians spend about four per cent of their annual fuel consumption idling their vehicles. In fact, for every 10 minutes of idling one third of a litre of fuel is wasted for an average vehicle. Experts recommend turning off your engine when you are parked for more than 60 seconds, except in trafﬁc. Also, the best way to warm up your vehicle in cold weather is to run it for two to three minutes and then drive it. 5. Maintain your vehicle – Proper tire inﬂation, reducing extra weight, removing roof racks and

Spring cleaning: Top tips to freshen up your ride (NC)—Ah, springtime. The days are getting longer, leaves are starting to sprout, and the great thaw begins. With this shift in weather comes the promise of warm summer driving and the time to prep your favorite ride for the road. You should begin by washing the exterior of your vehicle, and be sure to clean underneath to remove the corrosive salt, chemicals and grime that build up from winter driving. Use a high pressure hose, paying close attention to wheel wells and bumpers. Next, have your tires changed and rotated to ensure best performance and safety on the roads. While winter tires work best in the snow, they can accelerate and brake poorly and offer reduced tread life on dry asphalt. Spring is the best time to swap back to your performance–oriented summer or all–season tires, storing your winter set for later. Just like your tires, the ﬂuids in your vehicle

need to be checked each spring to ensure proper engine performance throughout the seasons. Chances are the radiator in your vehicle uses an extended–life antifreeze coolant to prevent it from freezing. Check the coolant level and quality, and consider flushing the radiator if necessary. Most vehicles require fresh coolant every 240,000 km. While you’re at it, be sure to check your oil and top up the rest of your fluids. The most common grade of engine oil in Canada is 5W30 which should perform well under both winter and summer driving conditions. Consult your owner’s manual for the recommended grade and quality of oil for your vehicle, and perform an oil and oil filter change at the recommended intervals to provide year–round protection.

“Gasoline primarily contains carbon and hydrogen molecules, and combustion can create a residue, called “gunk”, which is a build–up of carbon particles on critical engine parts,” says Ken Mitchell, an Engineer from Shell Canada. “This gunk has a porous surface that can negatively affect combustion and the performance of your vehicle. Some high–quality fuels, like all three grades of Shell’s Nitrogen

Enriched Gasolines, clean and protect critical engine parts from the build–up of gunk while you drive.” After you’ve cleaned it from the inside out, take your ride out for a spin to feel the engine roar to life. Think about your summer road trips to come, and enjoy the ride. www.newscanada.com

Beyond these measures, helping keep your engine running at its best this spring is as easy as ﬁlling up with a high–quality gasoline.

Renfrew County farmers look ahead

Reuben Stone of Stone Farms near Cobden and CEO of Valley Bio is a fourth-generation farmer. His dad was a beef father and his grandfather dealt in dairy before him. Rueben Stone focuses on industrial hemp and said hemp is a growing industry. Stone Farms is Eastern Canada’s leading hemp producer, he pointed out. “We grow two per cent of the Canadian market,” Stone said, adding they also produce about one per cent of the entire world’s production of hemp. To get a licence to grow hemp, you go through Health Canada, Stone noted. It is a free process, but you must have a criminal record check and proof of certified seed. Stone said their are many advantages to the crop, which includes rare to encounter insect or wildlife damage, it’s an effective break crop to disturb the life cycles of pathogens, it generally will leave the field clean and there is no need for regular herbicides or pesticides. It can help farmers increase efficien-

Jennifer Doelman of Barclay Dick and Sons Inc. near Douglas is a certiﬁed crop advisor. Barclay Dick and Sons is a fourthgeneration family farm of 2,100 acres, dating back to 1991. “It takes several generations working together at one time to make and keep a farm strong,” Doelman said. “Renfrew County’s primary producers is one of its main economic drivers,” she said. “Trucking, building, fabrication, equipment, hardware stores, retailers, grocery; yes, even Wal-Mart needs farmers. These businesses depend on farm income as a ﬁnancial stimulus to their success.” While they don’t do farmers markets as a rule, Doelman said they do participate in Rural Ramble, Taste of the Valley and the Cobden Christmas Farmers Market. They’ve also held farm safety training for the Douglas Fire Department and Renfrew County Paramedics. Doelman said regulations are going to kill the family farm. Rules are important but many of the regulators don’t know the rules themselves.

McGregor’s Produce is well known for what the name implies, but they have been involved in much more since they immigrated to Beckworth Township from Scotland in 1818. They purchased the current 200-acre farm at Lochwinnoch in 1856. They started out with mainly beef cattle, logging, and small crops of grain and hay. Jim McGregor began farming in the late 1970s, Ian McGregor pointed out. “That’s kind of when the McGregor’s Produce was born,” McGregor said. It started out with one acre of sweet corn. Two years later strawberries were added, and the ’80s and ’90s saw a continued growth with more vegetables. McGregor’s began to attend more farmers markets since 2000, and have roadside stands set up around the Valley at seven locations. “We stopped selling wholesale and focused on direct farm sales,” McGregor added. “We have three different soil types on our farm from sand to clay,” McGregor said. They have also extended the season later into the fall by using row covers to protect against the frost. He said challenges include wages which cost more than 50 per cent. McGregor’s hires Jamaicans each year as they can’t ﬁnd people locally to do the work consistently. “There are a lot more other work opportunities out there than there used to be,” McGregor added. Imported food processed lower than cost of production, is also a challenge in running a farm. But the future looks good. “My brother (Cameron) and I are the ﬁfth generation to work on that land,” McGregor added. “We both have children, so hopefully, there will be a sixth.”

be tte r!

Renfrew County farmers looked ahead to the future and what improvements they and the industry can make during a roundtable forum held April 2 at the Cobden Agricultural Hall. Reuben Stone, Jennifer Doelman and Ian McGregor spoke to the gathering of 25-30 people in the event hosted by Eric Burton of the New Democratic Party. The day was an opportunity to get points of view out on the table, and to see what the provincial and federal governments can do to support the future of agriculture in Renfrew County, Burton said. “We have some dynamic producers in Renfrew County,” co-chair Bob Dobson said before introducing the three guest speakers.

“Farmers are expected to be held at a very high standard. This is our job to make things healthy and safe.”

cy and proﬁts, Stone added. It provides work and earnings for the combine and other machinery between cereal and soybean crops. “Hemp is easy to transport. It’s a high-value crop,” Stone said. “I can ship hemp from here to Europe cheaper than I can send a load of corn to Prescott.” He said there is another advantage. Because of regulations, “Americans can’t grow it. They can buy it, but they can’t grow it,” he said. Stone adds, for someone still young in the business, hemp is the way to go. “Hemp is here to stay. As a young farmer, this is the way I want to participate in the industry. It’s all food products.” Stone Farms hemp products are grown pesticide free or are fully certiﬁed organic.

Braeside faces wild cat dilemma

NOTICE OF THE PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW

Council weighs options to deal with feline problem JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

McNab-Braeside has received written complaints about a wild cat problem in Braeside, so now has to decide what to do about it. Council agreed April 5 that it should be determine if it is feasible to holding a live-trapping of the animals as happened in 2002 in the area. Township staff will approach the Humane Society to see if it will take any trapped cats and, if so, the bylaw ofﬁcer will ask residents if traps could be set up on their property. “What do we do if they (Humane Society) don’t take them,” asked Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie, noting the Arnprior shelter is already overrun with cats. Mayor Mary Campbell said the township needs someone to keep the cats for at least a few days before they are either sent to a shelter or euthanized because residents need time to reclaim family pets

that may be trapped along with the wild cats. Coun. Aldene Styles suggested the woman attracting the cats by feeding them be asked again to stop the practice. Campbell noted she isn’t the problem. It’s the people who let their pets multiple, then abandon them, she said. She suggested the township should look at holding neuter/spray programs as some other municipalities do in an attempt to alleviate the problem. Blimkie wondered if any farmers need cats to keep pests in check. Campbell responded that many farmers already have to deal with urban folk dropping cats off at their farm gates. Council also received letters from township resident Kris Burke and S.A. White of Calabogie concerned about the possible cat cull and earlier musings about a coyote cull. White noted that if the township is upset over wild cats, killing coyotes would be counter-productive as they help keep the cat population in check.

COMPOSTING 101 WHAT IS BACKYARD AND COMPOSTING? Composting is a natural decomposition of organic matter that results in a dark, earthy material. Backyard composting is an easy way to reduce household waste while improving the nutrient value of garden and potting soil. Compost is a costfree, chemical-free soil enricher that provides plants with required nutrients. It can lower water bills by enhancing water conservation in soil; strengthen root structure in plants; promotes weed and erosion control; reduces air pollution, emissions of methane gas in landﬁlls, and household garbage by 1/3.

COMPOSTING AND THE FOUR R’S REUSES organic waste material to create compost REDUCES generation of household garbage RECYCLES nutrients back into soil and plant life RESTORES environment with increased plant life

ADVANTAGES • Reduces waste, as well as thatch, and increases lawns resistance to disease, drought and insects • Releases valuable nutrients, adds water-saving mulch, and encourages natural soil aeration by earthworms • 50% of lawn’s fertilizer needs are met, reducing time and money spent fertilizing • Reduces water bills by conserving water because clippings hold moisture in the lawn • Mowing time is reduced since bagging and disposal of clippings is eliminated • Reduces the volume of yard waste entering landﬁlls

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Arnprior passed By-law 5954-11 on the 11th day of April, 2011, under Section 34(18) of the Planning Act, 1990. AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the By-law by filing with the Clerk of the Corporation of the Town of Arnprior not later than the 11th day of May, 2011, a notice of appeal setting out the reasons for the appeal and accompanied by the prescribed fee required by the Ontario Municipal Board. The prescribed fee is $125.00 and must be made payable to the Minister of Finance. Appeal forms are available at the Town Hall during regular office hours or from the Ontario Municipal Board website at www.omb.gov.on.ca. Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf. No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at the public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. An explanation of the purpose and effect of the By-law and a key plan are attached. The complete By-law is available for inspection in the Planning Office during regular office hours, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. EXPLANATORY NOTE The Council of the Corporation of the Town of Arnprior passed Comprehensive Zoning By-law 4990-01, which applies to the entire Town of Arnprior, on October 29, 2001. The current zoning of the subject lands is Community Facility (CF). The purpose of the amendment is to rezone the lands to Residential Three – Exception 13- holding (R3-E13-h) to permit all density of residential development. The “exception” implements a height limitation of a maximum three (3) storeys and a lot frontage minimum of 16.5 metres. The removal of the holding symbol will require approval of a comprehensive servicing report and site plan for any future development of the site. The purpose and effect of the amendment is to permit the future development of the site for multi-unit residential. The subject lands are described as part of Lot 4, Conc. B, Part Park Lot 6, Plan 19, Part Lots 3 and 7, Plan 63, Part Lot 42, Reserve C, Plan 40, municipally known a 128 Mary Street, as shown on the attached key plan. Dated at the Town of Arnprior this 21st day of April, 2011.

FAQ’S Will composting smell? Compost has a pleasant aroma; however, foul odours may occur if there is a lack of oxygen or the material is too wet. Turning the compost pile can minimize odours. How long will it take to compost? The decomposition of organic material can take anywhere from two weeks to two years. The decomposition time depends on how effectively the material is turned, what the moisture content is, and the internal/ external temperatures.

EASTER MARKET April 23, 2011 from 8 am - 2 pm Several dignitaries will help again by hosting the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Dare to Care Telethon, set this year for Sunday, May 15. The event raises money for the Care Coach.

Seniors at Home â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dares you to careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program will hold its ďŹ fth annual Dare to Care Telethon Sunday, May 15. The organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest fundraiser will be held at John Chrysostom Parish Hall in Arnprior from 1 to 8 p.m. in support of Para Transit for individuals of all ages. Do you know someone who is housebound, aging, on dialysis or has medical appointments outside of Arnprior? Chances are you do. It could be your mother, your father, your grandparents or even your children. Seniors and individuals of all ages with disabilities need the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support. Seniors at Home has been in business for more than 30 years. It is here to stay. When it was noted by the United Way Community Matters Survey in 2005 that there was a need in the community for Para-Transit transportation, Seniors at

Home looked at different options. It took some time, but it came up with the Care Coach to meet that need. The Care Coach allows disabled individuals of all ages to do their own shopping in town, get to their appointments, visit with family and friends and go to social gatherings. In order for the agency to continue to provide para-transit transportation to the community for individuals with disabilities, regardless of age, it needs support. The need is obvious and the demand has been increasing each year. Everyone is only one fall away from requiring the service, one accident away, one stroke or heart attack away. To ďŹ nd out how you can become a volunteer or to make a donation, contact telethon co-ordinator Susan SarsďŹ eld at 613-623-7981 or email susansarsďŹ eld@cssagency.ca For more information, check out the website at www.cssagency.ca.

No choice on advance poll dates john.carter@metroland.com

If you’re upset that the federal election’s advance poll is being held on Easter weekend, don’t blame Elections Canada. The politicians who set the May 2 election date are to blame. Elections Canada Eastern Ontario ﬁeld liaison ofﬁcer Joan O’Neill explained that the Canada Elections Act sets out exactly when the advance polls are held. They must be 10, nine and seven days before an election. So this election, the polls are on April 22 (Good Friday), April 23 and April 25 (Easter Monday), which has upset some church-goers. The polls are open from noon to 8 p.m. on all three days in various locations around the riding (check your voter’s card).

O’Neill reminds voters they need identification to vote (consult the voter’s reminder brochure that was mailed out last week). About 75 per cent of people use their driver’s licence, but there are also other options, O’Neil said. She explained that electors can also vote any day up until 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 26 at the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke returning office at 147 Mackay St. in Pembroke (1-866-275-1647) or by mail. Electors can still get on the list after that date and can vote on May 2 even if not on the list if they have the right identification. However, it’s more convenient for all concerned if they ensure they are on the list before the revision is completed April 27. More information is available at www. elections.ca.

Gallant campaign attacks Tabbert on legal connections Continued from Page 9 In two press releases last week, Renfrew-NipissingPembroke Conservative candidate Cheryl Gallant’s campaign team took swings at Liberal candidate Christine Tabbert’s law ﬁrm connections. In response to a fundraiser for Tabbert in Toronto April 7, the

campaign issued a release last week asking why “Bay Street lawyers are bankrolling a candidate in the Ottawa Valley?” Gallant’s campaign manager Brendan Mulvihill said all her funds come from local voters. In another release this week, the Gallant campaign suggested Tabbert’s

law ﬁrm was instrumental in a Supreme Court ruling that allows companies to use pension plan funds paid by their employees. Gallant has resolved to take appropriate action to stop the erosion of pension plans by corporations in this manner, the release says.

Members of the Arnprior Oldtimers hockey league champion Denata, from left in the top row with referee-in-chief Bill Kirby, are Scott Farmer, Steve Hudson, Bill Frivalt, John Graham, Darren Wilby, Ray McNulty, Shawn Patrick, Steve Holmes, Steve Holmes and acting coach Chi Chi Marcelo Grandmaison; and in front Bill Stevens, Shawn Hook, Bill McDonald, Neil Farmer and Tim Blackburn. Missing from the photo are Bill Ruddy and Peter Dodge.

Denata dynasty does it again Denata has regained bragging rights in the Arnprior 40+ Oldtimers Hockey League. The Denata team came out on top, winning every one of its games at the league’s season-ending round-robin tour-

nament at the Nick Smith Centre April 8-9. Denata last won the tournament in 2008. The four-team league plays on Tuesday evenings. Other teams this year were

the Legion, Lou’s Leafs and Lorne’s Electric/Play it Again Sports. The league will resume action in October. Anyone interested in playing should contact the Nick Smith Centre.

Arnprior Pride bring home gold The Arnprior Pride Major Midget Girls Basketball team brought home a gold medal from the Blessed Sacrament Invitational Tournament in Hamilton last weekend. After a great start Friday night with a 3624 win against the Belleville Spirits 36-24, the Pride suffered a defeat at the hands of the Collingwood Trailblazers 29-19 Saturday. Not to be held down for long, they scored a resounding victory against the Sudbury Lakers 59-31. Winning a berth in the Division 7A semi-finals, the Pride faced the higher ranked Ottawa Shooting Stars. The game was hard fought and exciting with Arnprior taking the win in the last minute of the game 36-34. The game was not without cost, as the Pride lost Melissa Logan to a lower body injury. Moving on to the gold medal game, the team again faced their second game opponents, the Collingwood Trailblazers. With only 40 seconds left on the clock and five points down, coach Alan Atkinson called a time out to encourage the girls to give it their all. The Pride, living up to their name, scored two quick baskets and with a turnover to the left of the opponent’s basket and a quick pass right under the basket, the winning points were scored with only 2.2 seconds left on the clock. Some of the fans reported it was the most exciting game they had ever seen in any sport, a fitting end to the tournament celebrating the 150 anniversary of Dr. James Naismith’s birth. The girls have had a great season having played a number of games and tournaments, including the AT&T Blue & Orange Classic in Potsdam, New York.

McNab-Braeside is encouraging more of its seniors to take part in the Renfrew County Senior Games. While not many township seniors have participated in the past, “you’d think we’d have some strong competitors in euchre and horseshoes,” said Mayor Mary Campbell. Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie said she will try to organize more participation this year. The 2011 Games will be held in Barry’s Bay Wednesday, June 1 and Thursday, June 2. Arnprior will host the Games next year, People interested in attending as individuals or teams are urged to contact the township to see if their attendance can be co-ordinated and perhaps even subsidized. Campbell suggested she’d like to see playdowns eventually be held in the township to determine local representatives at the Games. Meanwhile, council agreed Tuesday to donate $100 to this year’s event. Many municipalities provide funds for the Games, it was noted. The donation is a ﬁrst for McNab-Braeside, but it was felt the games should be supported no matter where in the county they are being held. The Games are held each year in June in a different location in the county, and are organized by a local committee under the auspices of the Ontario Senior Games Association. Three of the activities will be held June 1: lawn bowling in Deep

River, five-pin bowling in Renfrew and pickleball, a relatively new sport to Renfrew County, at Dundonald Hall in Base Petawawa. Bid euchre, carpet bowling, contract bridge, cribbage, darts, euchre, floor shuffleboard, golf, horseshoes, tennis, bocce, cycling and prediction walk will be held June 2 at various locations in Barry’s Bay, Wilno, Combermere and Killaloe. “Each year between 300 and 400 senior participants play in these games and enjoy the camaraderie and fun of competing with other seniors of their age groups,” notes Games chairwoman Stephanie Atkinson. “There are also other activities planned for the day with a closing banquet where gold, silver and bronze medals are presented to the winners in each venue.” With this being a non-actifest year, many of the medal winners will be able to compete in the Eastern Divisional District Games Aug. 23 in Smiths Falls. The events that day include bid euchre, bridge, cribbage, mixed doubles darts, euchre, floor shuffleboard, golf, open doubles horseshoes, lawn open doubles lawn bowling and five-pin bowling (mixed teams with pins over average). Posters and registration forms for participants are available at the various senior centres, recreation departments and township offices throughout Renfrew County. For more information about the 2011 Games, or if you would like to be involved, call Atkinson at 613625-2910 or Marianne Street at 613756-7958.

Spring brings baseball fever The Tuesday Night Recreation Baseball League has been in business on Seeley Field at Ma-Te-Way Park in Renfrew for about two decades, and organizers will endeavour to keep the tradition alive this summer. The Legends, Rebels and Arnprior have been mainstays in the league for several years. It is hoped that enough players can be rounded up to create two more teams for 2011. Call 613-4324641 with you wish to play this

season, whether or not you’ve played baseball in the past, or in the league before. Newcomers are always welcome. Renfrew County 150 celebrations are on this year in Pembroke in early June, and among other events over the years, sports in the county will be saluted. Anyone willing to lend any baseball memorabilia – photos, stories, etc. – for display at the 150 event is asked to call the above phone number.

The Renfrew Amateur Wresting Club – with the support of the Arnprior Amateur Wrestling Club – will host the Eastern Canadian Wrestling Festival and Championship in Renfrew May 6 to 8. The event attacts 250 to 350

young athletes between the ages of nine and 15 years from Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces. Several Arnprior area wrestlers are entered. The competition is being held at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

It’s been quite the year for the Upper Ottawa Valley Major Peewee Aces. The hockey team, made up of players from Renfrew, Arnprior, Cobden, Beachburg, Pembroke, Petawawa and Killaloe, mounted a great post-season run. In jeopardy of missing the playoffs, the Aces turned their season around in time to ﬁnish sixth in a 10-team league with a 12-15-and-3 record. Then they got it all together in the 201011 playoffs.

McNab students participate in Pennies for Peace The students at McNab Public School have joined hands with tens of thousands of other school children around the world who share the vision and dedication to empower communities through education in remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. McNab students have embarked on a Pennies for Peace campaign to broaden their cultural horizons and become members of a global family dedicated to peace. The Pennies for Peace campaign is a program of Central Asia Institute, founded by Greg Mortenson, author of the novel Three Cups of Tea. Central Asia Institute promotes and provides community-based education and literacy programs, especially for girls, in remote mountain regions of Central Asia. Founded in 1996, it has built nearly 100 schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which serve more

and transform a life. In a region where terrorist organizations recruit uneducated, illiterate children, that pencil can empower a child to read, write, and learn. The Pennies for Peace program goal is to encourage children, who are ultimately future leaders, to learn the value of philanthropy by collecting pennies for global peace. McNab Public School students have had the opportunity to study the cultures of Afghanistan and Pakistan, learn to work and share together in their Pennies for Peace campaign, and come to understand their own capacity as philanthropists – one penny at a time. The school has focused on literacy throughout the campaign, reading several books including Listen to the Wind and The Bread Winner. These have been related to the social studies unit of Canada and its government. See ‘STUDENTS’ Page 27

McNab students are ﬁnding the Pennies for Peace campaign informative and inspiring. than 28,000 students, 14,000 of whom are girls. Mortenson’s story and more information about the organiza-

tion can be found on the web at www.ikat.org. How can a penny bring peace? It doesn’t buy much

in Renfrew County. But in the villages of Pakistan and Afghanistan, it can buy a pencil, start an education,

ADHS student in running for trustee the candidates. They explained that the position exists to provide greater insight into student activities, programs and needs, encourage more student involvement in the board’s governance activities, and provide a greater awareness and understanding of mutual issues involving board, school staff and students. In the end, Steele was elected student trustee and was given the opportunity to address his constituents. He had many ideas on how to improve student communication to the board and how to represent all seven secondary schools in Renfrew County. “This is the largest turnout in the history of our student trustee elections and once again the quality of our candidates was outstanding,” said Clarke. “We should be proud of the work our secondary schools are doing in preparing students for leadership positions.”

Students relate to soldiers serving overseas Continued from Page 26 Students have had the chance to review and learn about the charter of human rights and freedoms that Canadians are fortunate to have. The students have become aware of the world and how lucky Canadians are to receive an education and basic rights of shelter and care. Students are seeing that, through their ef-

forts, they can make a difference. “It is particular ﬁtting as a number of the students have a parent who has served over in Afghanistan in recent years and they relate to the struggles there,” said McNab teacher Hilda Barrett. “Further, my husband, who also served, is coming in to speak to them in the near future regarding his

experiences with helping to rebuild over there. He will focus on the right to education particularly for young girls.” Thus far McNab Public School has collected $502.79. They held a bake sale that raised $269.23 The thoughtfulness and support the school has received from their small community can only be described as amazing.

SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The North American Gleek population is growing and Arnprior District High School is boosting the numbers after a recent competition that raised more than $10,000 for the Children’s Wish Foundation. The school’s Red Velvet choir travelled to Nepean’s Centrepointe Theatre March 31 for Wish Upon a Gleek, a fundraiser created by Algonquin College event management students. Red Velvet placed second of four schools in the competition, which was based on the popular television show Glee. “It was like a Glee regionals competition,” said music instructor Frank Pecora. The sold-out show was a lot of fun and also a challenge for the students, he said. Red Velvet is more of a traditional choir, used to standing still while singing for the most part. “We did a lot more choreography than we’re used to,” said Pecora. “We stepped out of our comfort zone a bit and did this.” The songs Red Velvet performed were Fever and Don’t Stop Believing. ADHS competed against three other high schools – AY Jackson Secondary School, All Saints Catholic High School and South

Can you hear it? Music Monday is coming. If you haven’t heard, Music Monday is a Canada-wide celebration of music education and its positive effects on young people.

ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE - April 21 2011

On hand for the signing up of new apprentice Harley Deacon at the Antrim Truck Centre, from left above, are Brent Salt from the Ministry of Apprenticeship and Training, Arnprior District High School co-op teacher Shirley Stevenson, Deacon, truck centre service manager Mike Courchesne and Harley’s parents Laura and Colin Deacon. Far right, Gilles Aucoin, right, of Aucoin’s Electric in Calabogie welcomes ADHS student Tyler Jordan aboard as an apprentice as Salt looks on.

Two more apprentices Two Arnprior District High School students were signed up April 14 for Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program placements in the electrical and truck and coach sector. Harley Deacon has been signed up for apprenticeship training in the ﬁeld of truck and coach mechanic at the Antrim Truck Centre. He has demonstrated a good work ethic as he gains hand-on experience at the Arnprior company. Antrim Truck Centre began in 1978 in Antrim and expanded its business when moving to Arnprior. Jack and Gail Cameron are the owners of this familyrun business. Tyler Jordan was signed up for the OYAP through Aucoin’s Electric in Calabogie. Gilles Au-

coin is the owner and has been in business since 1989 in the residential and commercial ﬁeld. Aucoin Electric completes work throughout Calabogie, Renfrew and the Arnprior areas. Aucoin, who has been Jordan’s mentor this term, says he is eager and is quick to grasp the work being done in the trade. Customers have commented on his attitude towards his work. Jordan will be obtaining a full-time position with Aucoin’s Electric once he has completed his Grade 12 in June. The support the community has given to the ADHS co-op and the OYAP apprenticeship programs has been outstanding. Congratulations to both Harley and Tyler on their trade adventures.

ADHS student wins a first in woodworking contest The achievements of an Arnprior District High School student are being touted in a Renfrew County District School Board press release detailing the popularity of its technological program. The board points out the program gives students the option to get hands-on experience in the classroom and have physical results to show for it. Eric Dykens, a grade 12 student at ADHS, built two beautiful end tables from wood that was donated by neighbours. Recently he was awarded first place in the Secondary School Division at the Wood Objects Competition at Lansdowne Park for the tables, and he was awarded a plaque and $150 worth of wood. “It is always so exciting to see the creativity and talent that exists in our classrooms,” said board chairman Dave Shields. “These students are so good at what they do.” The board says students are flocking to the course offerings. Students excel at courses such as transportation, construction,

manufacturing, communication technology, and hairstyling and aesthetics with the assistance of skilled teaching staff in state-ofthe-art facilities. “Technological classes are where students have the chance to get hands-on experience in the classroom,” said the board’s student success teacher. “So many students all over Renfrew County get to showcase their creativity through tech programs. It is wonderful that students have the great facilities in our secondary schools.” All seven high schools are looking forward to participating in the upcoming OPTIONS Technological Skills Competition April 28 at the Pembroke Memorial Centre, not only to compete, but also to see what other schools have been learning this past year. At the April 26 school board meeting, Hoelke and a number of students will showcase program. The presentation will include examples of the work students have completed, including Eric Dykens’ end tables.

Prior Players sets stage for ‘Odd Couple’ In anticipation of the celebration of the Prior Players 20th anniversary, the cast and crew of this year’s spring production are busily preparing for opening night May 6. Prior Players have chosen a repeat performance of Neil Simon’s 1965 Broadway play, The Odd Couple. In this classic comedy two mismatched roommates struggle to get along. Felix Ungar, a neurotic neat freak newswriter, is thrown out by his wife and moves in with his best friend Oscar Madison, a messy sportswriter. The antics peak when they invite the Pigeon sisters, two English gals who live in their building down for dinner. The cast includes six men and two women - Dave Anthony (Oscar Madison), Mar-

cel Girard (Felix Ungar), Charlotte Leitch (Gwendolyn Pigeon), Debbie Reid (Cecily Pigeon), Chris Tonkin (Speed), Don Lacasse (Vinnie), Ritch Peters (Murray) and Mark Reid (Roy). The play opens Friday, May 6 with curtain time 7:30 p.m. Theatre patrons may also enjoy the show Saturday, May 7 and Friday, May 13 at 7:30 p.m. A matinee will be performed Saturday, May 14 at 2 p.m. The stage is set at the Christian Education Centre at 257 John St. in Arnprior.

Organizer Wayne Daze, left, and The Bridge Monologues author Jay Apfelbaum were pleased to announce more than $5,000 was raised for the Humane Society, food bank, student bursaries and more. Area businesses donated some $10,000 in prizes. Above, Max-Hugh Settlen and Phyllis Brennan study their cards during tournament play.

MAY IS FOR HEARTWORM Heartworm is a blood parasite that poses a serious health threat to dogs in Canada. Heartworms are large roundworms that live in the right side of the heart and the blood vessels that supply the lungs, surviving on nutrients which they steal from the dog’s bloodstream. They can grow to a length of 15 to 30 centimetres, and in severe cases a dog may be infested

IAN STUPP with hundreds of worms. Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected dog, it will in-

gest the immature worms (microﬁlariae) produced by the adults in the heart along with the blood from the dog. The immature worms develop in the mosquito over the next few weeks until they reach an infective stage. When the mosquito bites an uninfected dog, it will inject the immature worms into the tissues with its saliva. From here, the immature worms develop further and migrate to the heart where they will mature into adults and begin reproducing. This cycle continues unchecked unless treatment is given. From this it is easy to see how one infected dog can infect a whole neighbourhood. Heartworm may be easily

prevented. Start by having your veterinarian examine a sample of your dog’s blood for the presence of the immature worms once yearly. If your dog is not infected, then a preventative program should be started. The preventative program involves giving the dog a pill once a month during mosquito season. This medication destroys the immature heartworms transmitted by the mosquitoes and stops the cycle of the disease. Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Pet Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North. For comments or suggestions, he can be reached at 613623-6200 or info@wagsandwhiskerspg.com.

For the long thick-coated dogs and cats, I would recommend having a professional groomer remove the undercoat followed by daily or weekly home grooming sessions (depending on the breed). This will keep the coat in a manageable state in-between grooming visit. As we get into the warmer months, many owners will opt perhaps for a shorter clip. As for the shorter coated dogs and cats, a good bath and brush would probably do the trick. Just like in human beings, dogs and cats can have either oily or dry skin. Add a harsh, cold winter and you are looking at greasy and ﬂaky pets.

Galilee hosts retreat for women ‘who dare to dream’ The Galilee Centre in Arnprior will be the site May 6 to 8 for Women Who Dare To Dream – a retreat offered by author, entrepreneur and late-in-life adventurer, Karen Ely. Ely has helped to provide thousands of women from around the world through private mentoring as well as group sessions, with the tools to find lives of meaning, passion and joy. She has facilitated retreats in Europe, South America and the United States. Convinced by her many Canadian followers, she is for the first time bringing For Women Who Dare to Dream to Canada. Chosen for its peaceful ambiance and historical significance, the Galilee Centre provides the perfect setting for a meaningful weekend. Ely believes that in today’s hectic world it is important to find time for quiet renewal, to step back and assess who you are and where you’re going, and celebrate where you’ve come from and what you’ve learned. Through large and small group exercises, quiet, music, joyful playing, and journaling, Ely guides women on an exploration back to themselves, revealing to them how each step along life’s journey can be a miraculous opportunity to learn and grow. Ely is the founder and director of A Woman’s Way (www.

awomansway.com), the United States’ premier women’s retreat and workshop program located in Sedona, Arizona. She is the author of three books, Daring to Dream: Reﬂections on the Year I Found Myself, A Retreat of My Own: A Women’s Personal Retreat Guide, and Breathing Space: Mini-Retreats For the Heart and Soul. “I woke up in 1992. It was a shock to discover that I’d been sleepwalking through the ﬁrst 46 years of my life,” she says. Her wake-up call led her to use her training and skills to help other women work through the lumps and bumps of life. She brings passion and knowledge into the harried lives of women who need to discover their authentic selves. “All women are exceptional – I just show them ways to realize it,” says Ely. “May is the nature’s month of awakening, the perfect time to step away from our daily lives and adventure into ourselves. I’m excited to be visiting the Ottawa area. I’ve heard so much about its beauty and serenity. I’m looking forward to sitting on the banks of the Ottawa River and breathing in its soul.” The $495 fee includes the retreat, two nights lodging and meals. For more information, call 928-254-1897 or visit www. galileecentre.com.

The Galilee Centre leadership team of director Nicole Levesque, operations manager Ken Mansﬁeld and spiritual life animator Jack Lau sign the Community Energy Network Pledge with network coordinator Kristin Inrig. In so doing April 12, the Galilee Centre continues to embody that part of its spiritual life focus on ‘Stewardship’ of resources and networking with other communities of faith, business or organization that do likewise.

245 DANIEL ST., ARNPRIOR

Susan Love of Renfrew will have to wait weeks, perhaps months, to hear the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal’s decision on the appeal of the man convicted of the second-degree murder of her son, Phillip Love. Love, who grew up in Arnprior, was living and working in Darmouth, N.S., where he was badly beaten Jan. 8, 2007. He died nearly a week later in hospital. In the January 2010 trial overseen by Justice Felix Cacchione, Shane Ward was sentenced to life in prison with no parole eligibility for at least 16 years. Ward’s appeal hearing was held Friday morning (April 8) in Halifax before Justices Jamie Saunders, Duncan Beveridge and David Farrar. One of the major topics of argument for Ward’s lawyer, Alfred Seaman, and senior Crown counsel Jim Gumpert revolved around whether the judge erred in allowing jury members to hear evidence that Ward’s brother, Matthew, yelled over the telephone to his stepfather James Oickle that Shane had killed Phil. Seaman argued that the evidence was prejudicial to the jury. He also said the judge erred in failing to instruct the jury on the issue of provocation, which could have formed a defence for Ward’s actions, reported the Halifax Chronicle-Herald. In the previous trial, the stepfather’s

On March 13, Arnprior OPP Constables Denys Baranovskiy and Dunfield were conducting an investigation in Arnprior when they observed a vehicle drive by them. When the officers stopped the vehicle, he provided false identification. The driver was arrested and charged and the vehicle was impounded. A 43-year-old Arnprior male has been charged with driving while disqualified, fail to stop for police and failing to give identification. On Feb. 19, OPP Const. Mark Young was conducting a traffic stop on William Street. A 23-year-old driver from Renfrew was suspected to have been consuming alcohol and there was a warrant out for his arrest. Young located a bag of suspected marijuana and open beer and whiskey inside the vehicle. The man was charged with exceeding .08 mg of alcohol in his blood, possession of Schedule II drugs and failing to appear in court.

On April 10 while on patrol of Robert Simpson Park, Constable Bosa checked suspicious activity inside a vehicle in the shadows of the parking lot. Further investigation found the driver had been consuming alcohol. The driver was arrested and taken to Arnprior detachment for breath tests, which has resulted in a 17-year-old Arnprior male being charged with care and control of a motor vehicle with over 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millimetres of blood. The incidents were among 133 calls for service received by the

testimony was presented for the strict purpose of narrative and not as admissible evidence against Shane, said Gumpert. The narrative also helped to explain why no one called 9-1-1 for some time, said Gumpert. Evidence states Oickle arrived at the scene and got Matthew to call 9-1-1. Six days later, Jan. 14, Love was taken off life-support and several of his organs were donated to organ recipients. Gumpert said his argument was the trial judge didn’t make a mistake because he had already directed the jury to treat such evidence in a certain way. And even if the judge did err, Gumpert says there was “no miscarriage of justice because there is an overwhelming case of evidence.” A decision by the panel of justices isn’t expected for at least several weeks, maybe two months, says Gumpert because of the Court of Appeal’s busy schedule and the thorough nature of Ward’s hearing. If Ward’s second-degree murder charge was reduced to manslaughter, the new sentence could range from a suspended sentence to life in prison. In the original six-week trial Shane Ward’s brother, Matthew, was also charged with seconddegree murder but found guilty of common assault. Once the sentencing status of Ward is determined, another trial will follow in February 2012 for Bradley Martin. He is charged with accessory to murder.

An allusive con artist being sought by police across Canada has reportedly been sighted in the Upper Ottawa Valley. Richard Earl Rupert was featured on CTV news W5 program April 16 with a story called Cross-Canada Con. After the airing of the show, a resident in the Renfrew area reported to OPP seeing Rupert that day. Police started an investigation and additional witnesses were located reporting more sightings of the fugitive in the Renfrew area later that night. Police report that Rupert befriends senior citizens, convinces them he’s a nephew, a distant relative or in some cases a member of building management. He then asks for money, usually for a car repair. Rupert gets the victim to attend a bank where they withdraw a large amount of money and give it to him believing he intended to repay the money, say police Rupert travels across Canada, usually on the Trans Canada Highway, and there are concerns he may be in the Ottawa area, add police. Renfrew OPP released a warning Wednesday, urging residents of Renfrew and surrounding area to be on the alert and report any suspicious activity from unknown people matching Rupert’s description. He is described as white, 5’5”, 140-150 lb., dirt blonde/grey hair with receding hair line, clean shaven, ruddy complexion and hazel eyes. If you know of Rupert’s whereabouts or have any further information regarding him, contact your local police department or Crimestoppers.

Extra caution needed during the wildlife birthing season DONNA DUBREUIL Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre

The tiny newborn raccoons, with eyes still closed and little fur, were growing very cold and hungry. They would not survive much longer. Their mother had been gone for many hours. A block away, the mother raccoon was frantically trying to escape a so-called ‘humane’ trap. The homeowner was preparing to take the trapped raccoon to a forest miles away. This sad story is repeated hundreds of times during the spring and summer birthing season. It leaves thousands of baby animals to die a slow and painful death and homeowners taking an action without realizing the very inhumane outcome for the animals. You see, female animals come closer to our properties each spring, seeking out covered shelter in eaves, chimneys, garden sheds and under steps as a safe spot to have their young, away from predators, when their newborn babies are most vulnerable. Those leaf nests or dreys that squirrels occupy high up in trees, for example, would offer little protection against the elements or predators while the trees are

still bare. If you see a wild animal around your property at this time of the year, you can safely assume it is a female with babies nearby. So please do not barricade her access or trap and relocate her. Remember, it is a very temporary situation. Once the babies are weaned, the family will move back to a more natural area. Research all your options before taking any action. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to wildlife concerns. Take advantage of the free and experienced advice at www. wildlifeinfo.ca and keep this website handy for all your wildlife questions throughout the year.

Vive la differences in the bird world Over the past few weeks, winter’s silence has been replaced by spring’s exuberance. As soon as the suggestion of daylight brightens the sky, bird song begins. Many of you report that Northern Cardinals and House Finches now serenade the dawn; in more rural regions others report that gobbles of Wild Turkeys greet the morn, and soon after, the muffled drumbeats of Ruffed Grouse liven the woods. All the sounds we now hear, whether they come in the form of dawn bird song or evening choruses of frogs, reflect a major principle of natural history. Animals usually come in separate sexes. As I write, I look out my back window and see Dark-eyed Juncos vigorously scratching the ground for millet seeds and American Goldfinch delicately plucking niger seeds from hanging feeders. Some of the juncos are slate gray, their

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way white breasts contrasting sharply with the dark feathers, making them look as if they are wearing tuxedos. Others are paler versions, with brown mixing with the gray. These are the females, just back from the south. Many of the goldﬁnches look not much different than they did all winter, with soft olive and pale yellow dominating their plumage. Others, however, have bright yellow bursting through the paler tones, with their wings and caps turning black. These are the males.

Their brilliant colours were there all winter; the winter-long wearing of the pale feather tips has now liberated the vibrant hues formerly hidden beneath. All of the colourful and noisy pageantry of spring is due to animals having two sexes. Hermaphroditic animals, such as earthworms and clams, fail to liven our world with colour or sound. They need not impress another member of their species in order to win the right to mate. But birds and frogs do. The males are usually the ones that put on great performances, making themselves highly visible through visual and audible displays. But by making themselves apparent to females they also expose themselves to danger. The risk of being detected by a predator is a very real danger that courting males face. Advertising for a mate can come at a fatal cost. But the rewards for successful advertisers

are great. They get to pass on their genes to another generation. If their offspring are also successful in finding a mate and producing young in the future, their efforts to achieve genetic immortality have been rewarded. Some readers have reported that male cardinals have begun flying against windows or attacking car side mirrors. These actions are simply part of the drive to achieve immortality. The birds are seeing their reflections and think they have a rival in their territory. Their innate reaction is to drive it away before the bold intruder mates with their female, making all their vocal and visual efforts go for naught. Just think how much less interesting our world would be if animals did not have the need to advertise for mates. All I can say is vive la difference!

Renfrew County Expo 150 update Expo 150 is taking place at the Pembroke & Area Airport, which is located on Len Hopkins drive in the Town of Petawawa. The airport has been providing a critical emergency service to medical staff, firefighters, police, the Coast Guard and others for years. As a fully certified airport, the opportunity to fly in and out of the Pembroke & Area Airport means that lifesaving rescues in Algonquin Park and on the Ottawa River not only happen sooner, but increase the opportunity for success in situations where minutes count. The airport is also the home base for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources who make high use of the facility during the spring, summer and fall months as its closes air base to Algonquin Park. CFB Petawawa uses the facility for SarTec (search and rescue technicians) as well as the 427 Squadron practicing instrument approaches. In addition to being able to host private planes and charters, the Airport will also contribute to Expo 150 with interactive aircraft and flight displays. ANTIQUE CLASSIC CARS & TRUCKS The summer in Renfrew County is

Tree-planting promoted by Trees Ontario A non-profit group aiming to grow one billion more trees in Ontario is offering a deal to property owners interested in boosting the value of their land while helping the environment and the local economy. Trees Ontario, acting on governmental and academic studies, wants to ensure the province has at least 30 per cent forested lands. Many areas fall far short of that, including southern Ontario with as little as five per cent in some areas. Trees cool river water, improve air quality and soil, prevent riverbank erosion and more. By replacing abandoned farmland with forests, landowners create a more aestheticallypleasing property, which in turn could increase resale. Also, as a renewable resource, opportunity exists to sell wood for profit. “Our service is for landowners who are interested in growing a forest as a way to invest in the environment, or for aesthetic reasons for their kids to enjoy as a legacy or to up the value of their property,” said Robert Keen, CEO of Trees Ontario during a recent visit to Arnprior. “Usually we hear from people who own abandoned farmland, but not always. It can be anyone with a sizable property.” The program is popular, though not well known except through word of mouth. Karen Stokes is with Renfrew County Stewardship Program. She said since the program started seven years ago, some 700,000 trees have been planted in the county. It has a 90 per cent survival rate. “This is the right time of year to plant,” she told the ChronicleGuide. “We’ve been doing this for a while, so there’s a real science involved.” She added that local horticulturalists benefit as tree suppliers to the program. Most new forests start out as tree farms, usually dominated by red pine or white spruce. These species are best for growing in sandy soil, typical of the abandoned farmland Trees Ontario is reclaiming. After 30 or 40 years, the soil improves and other species are introduced natural through seeds blown in the wind. After 80 to 100 years, a native forest is in place; ready to help reduce humanity’s carbon footprint and provide a sustainable and renewable resource for the bio fuel industry and others.

He’ll then pay a site visit to discuss options. On a two-hectare property, the minimum size needed, seeds will be planted in rows eight feet long, seven feet apart. Cost to the owner is 15 cents a tree or $660 for 4,400 trees. The obligation on the landowner is to agree to clear the area before seeding and mow twice a year for two years afterward. The landowner must also agree to allow for site visits for testing purposes, small signage promoting the program, and promise not to cut the trees for at least 15 years. “Very few are reluctant because of the whole ‘government involvement’ thing,” Gallagher said during a visit to Arnprior. “Those types don’t bother calling up.” The price is the same regardless of topography. But the waiting list of two years is in effect to ensure supply keeps up with demand. Gallagher said tree thinning after 20 years might help the landowner to break even on input costs. After 40 years, the wood is cut for sale in various forms. After 70 years, the straighter ones could be used for hydro poles. But he has a warning for any-

(Below) The McDonald’s restaurants owned by the Bergeron family in the Valley donated 10 cents from every cup of coffee sold on the morning of April 13 to the fourth annual Run for Military Families. The restaurants raised $150 and canvassers at the drive-thrus collected another $1,037. John Bergeron rounded up the amount collected with a $463 donation to make the day’s take an even $1,500.

Line dancers kick up heels to help summer camp JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

The annual line dancing fundraiser for the United Church’s Camp Lau-Ren for children raised close to $1,000 Saturday. The attendance at the new location, the Nick Smith Centre, was the best to date, up by 20 per cent. Just under 100 participants danced the afternoon away. Seven instructors were on hand to teach four or ﬁve new dances and provide the lead for many familiar one. Instructors included event planner and organizer Hyacinth Chatterton of Arnprior, Ann Fleming of Kanata, Rick Gauthier of Orleans, Juliet Hamilton of Kanata, Sue MacFarlane of Ottawa, Valerie Penno of Braeside and Britt Quinlan of Ottawa. About 50 dances (no repetitions) were done during the afternoon, the most the event participants have ever accomplished. The dance list was circulated weeks ahead to as many prospective participants as possible and included a wide variety from western swing and waltz to country, latin tempos, jazz and modern hit tunes. It was great to have a volunteer DJ, Michel Cabana from Ottawa, said Chatterton. Arnprior District High School students provided assistance with registration and hosting as they accumulated time towards the volunteer hours required before they graduate. It was deﬁnitely a ‘win-win’ situation, said Chatterton. She noted the donations included cash, cheques and even a gift shopping card for the camp. There were attendees from Stittsville, Richmond, Pakenham, Ottawa, Orleans, Lanark, Kinburn, Kanata, Dunrobin, Cornwall, Constance Bay, Carp, Carleton Place, Bell’s Corners, Arnprior and Almonte. Some of the clubs and centres represented included the Churchill and Stittsville recreation centres, Kanata Seniors’ Centre, The Bytown Boots, The Crazy Soles, and the Almonte, Stewart, Horton and Beaverbrook community centres. Camp Lau-Ren is located in Deep River, and it happens that one of the guest instructors Ann Fleming, whose father was a United Church organist, attended the camp decades ago. More recently, her daughter Amanda attended and went back as a camp counsellor. All dancers were invited by Chatterton, who is the instructor for the line dancing program for the Town of Mississippi Mills, to gather at the Home Hardware parking lot in Almonte to perform May 28 from 10 to 10:45 a.m. in support of the town’s ‘Light Up The Night’ garage sale.

Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s M&M Meat Shop charity BBQ set for May 7 The Arnprior M&M Meat Shop will join others across Canada on Saturday, May 7 to host a barbecue to beneďŹ t the Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC). The public is urged to support the 23rd annual M&M Meat Shops Charity barbecue between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. M&M Meat Shopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; franchisees, staff and thousands of volunteers from coast-to-coast will grill hamburgers and hot dogs to meet fundraising goal of $1.6 million. Supporters will receive a hamburger or hot dog, a drink and a bag of chips for a minimum donation of $2.50. All food and time is donated, so every penny raised goes directly to the CCFC for its research programs. For an additional $2, supporters can cool down by pur-

chasing a M&M Meat Shops Strawberry Shortcake Bar and proceeds will be donated to CCFC. Canada has among the highest incidence of Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease and ulcerative colitis in the world, two similar yet distinct conditions also known as inďŹ&#x201A;ammatory bowel disease (IBD). The public proďŹ le of these â&#x20AC;&#x153;tabooâ&#x20AC;? diseases, however, continues to be low. There are more than 200,000 Canadians suffering from IBD. It is a painful and unpredictable disorder. There is no known cause or cure and the number of cases continues to grow. From humble beginnings, the charity barbecue day has grown into CCFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest annual fundraising activity by any single supporter. Over the past 22 years,

M&M Meat Shops has raised more than $20 million for medical research dedicated to ďŹ nding a cure for IBD. The money raised through Charity BBQ Day is invested into IBD research, which includes: â&#x20AC;˘ Investing in the most talented inďŹ&#x201A;ammatory bowel disease researchers in Canada; â&#x20AC;˘ Reporting on the incidence and prevalence of IBD in Canada and the economic and social burden of this disease on patients, their families and the Canadian health care system; â&#x20AC;˘ Funding collaborations involving various researchers and research centres to ďŹ nd the cure for Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Youth programs promoted on Facebook Youth Corner

Social Media has a huge impact on our lives today, with television, Internet and many social networks that the majority of us use on a daily basis. Facebook has been a major contributing factor in our daily routines. As per Wikipedia, Facebook was launched in February 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg with a couple of his college roommates from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This site was originally made to beneﬁt Harvard University students only, but quickly spread to become a world-wide phenomenon with over 600 million active users as of January 2011.

Seatbelt campaign nails motorist twice in one day

Being one of the most efficient sources for social networking and communication, Facebook has become very beneficial for local businesses as well. Over the years, watching Facebook grow and develop into such a massive social network, we have decided to take our own approach to reaching out youth of Arnprior and surrounding areas.

It is for ages 9 and up and runs from 6 to 8 p.m. Learn how to make cards and tiles from scratch using scrapbooking materials. Let your creativity and imagination run free and make wonderful, memorable and unique gifts for your parents this year. Spots are ﬁlling up fast so register by April 25 and don’t miss out! The cost for this program is $15. Ever want to feel like you are back in

The Beneﬁt Dance is over, the lights are out and folks have gone home. From all of this I have found true Friends that have recognized the value of our friendship and have held to it’s sacred substance. The measure of my experience in friendship has given me an overwhelming sense of gratitude as my heart has experienced the expressions of love. It is with ease and assurance; I rise to say Thank You. Two very short words that can never totally express the courage it gives me to continue on my road to recovery. To truly learn that busy people in a bustling community will often take time to support the needs of others is so assuring. Bonds that we make through work relationships come ever effective in times of need and especially at times when illness visit us. This has been an uplifting experience for me through the actions of two ladies, Theresa Carron & Heather Pierce, with whom I worked. Their resulting efforts have given me the conﬁdence to continue, with courage, for the battles that may lie ahead. My community both near and far have supported me and I say again to each and every one; Thank You, and may God bless you for your ongoing support.
