Mobs vote Advance polls turnout up over 1,000 from 2008, more youth showing up to cast ballots JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com
It’s all over but for the voting Monday, May 2. Well, at least most of the voting. Some electors have already voted and if the response to the advance polls on the weekend is any indication, there is plenty of interest in the federal election in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke and across Canada. Concerns the scheduling of the advance polls on the Easter weekend might deter voting proved unfounded as there were line-ups at the opening of many of the advance polls around the riding on all three days and a steady stream of voters throughout most of the day. Elections Canada Eastern Ontario field liaison officer Joan O’Neill said the advance poll turnout was up in Eastern Ontario from previous elections. “It was quite busy (Easter) Friday, Saturday was quieter, but Monday was the busiest of all,” she said. The exceptions were polls located in shopping centres, such as Arnprior, where Saturday was busy too, she added. In Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, 9,246 people voted in the
advance polls, one of the highest numbers in the province, and well up over the 8,100 who voted early in the last two elections. Overall in Canada, preliminary figures (a few polls have yet to report) indicate over two million electors voted at the advance polls, a 34.5 per cent increase from the 1.5 million electors who voted in advance in 2008. More than 676,000 Canadians voted Easter Friday and more than 823,000 Easter Monday, representing the two busiest days of advance voting ever. “There was a higher than expected turnout this past weekend at the advance polls,” said Chief Electoral Officer of Canada, Marc Mayrand. “We thank voters for their patience and field staff for their responsiveness.” In the 2008 election, the total turnout in Renfrew-NipissingPembroke was 63.6 per cent with 47,314 votes cast, down from 69.2 per cent two years earlier when 52,064 voters cast their ballots. Of particular interest to O’Neill were reports from Eastern Ontario polling officers noting a higher turnout of young people at the polls. See ‘GREENS’ Page 4 EN OP USE HO

Town welcomes windfall DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Councillors learned of a windfall for Arnprior OPP salaries at Tuesday’s regular meeting. The province is handing out additional money to a number of regions to cover rising OPP costs. Towns in Renfrew County were given more than a half million dollars to make up for 2009 costs through the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund. The
towns of Renfrew, Deep River and Petawawa split about half. Meanwhile, Arnprior, after years of strident opposition to signing a contract that would increase salaries and the number of officers at the detachment, was awarded $213,500. However, Arnprior’s budget process has been arguably thrown into turmoil more than other municipalities. See ‘OPP’ Page 3

Fitness club eyed for James Street building derek.dunn@metroland.com
The owner of a building on James Street has asked Arnprior council for a zoning change to will help him attract possibly a fitness-club tenant. Located on the street leading to the Nick Smith Centre, the vacant building will go from heavy industrial – meat packers, fuel storage – to light industrial. Councillors agreed it should benefit owner Michael Mansfield and nearby homeowners. “It’s absolutely the right way to go,” Reeve Walter Stack said. “It’s a win-win.” Planner Robin Smith said the less intense usage should please neighbours, and the retrofit done to the interior “looks really nice.” A public meeting to hear comments will take place May 23. TOWN TAGLINE Charlottetown is the Birthplace of Confederation; Calgary is Heart of the
New West; London is The Forest City. What do you think Arnprior’s tagline should be? Coun. Lynn Grinstead, chair of the tourism and community improvement committee, is calling on residents to submit a slogan to accompany the town’s marketing plan at the upcoming County of Renfrew 150th anniversary activities in Pembroke. “They will be asked what their feeling is,” Grinstead said. “It’s not the be all and end all. It’s the first step; it’s the teaser.” Coun. Dan Lynch suggested: Arnprior – Town of Two Rivers. Seems better than what Ottawa almost went with a few years back: Ottawa – Technically Beautiful. PATH LESS TAKEN The town is selling all portions of the CN Trail between Charlotte and Alicia streets to homeowners for $1 plus administrative costs.

The 2010 year-end report was presented to Arnprior council by Fire Chief John Okum. He called it a “year of change” at the department, with former chief Tom Burnette retiring after 45 years of service, two others receiving long-time service awards, and 12 new volunteer recruits brought on board. Fire losses totalled $615,000 last year, down from the previous two years. Calls totalled 177 (or just under 15 per month). Volunteer hours totalled 6,000. Most complaints had to do with smoke from backyard fire pits. Asked when a new captain will be hired, Okum said council would be presented with a restructured hierarchy soon.

structures and the building of the field house at Burnstown Beach park, she said. “We have recreation facilities the envy of the other municipalities in Renfrew County and we owe it to your leadership,” she added.

OPP return
Continued from front At one point the town was forced to borrow $109,000 from its levy stabilization reserve to cover double-digit increases in policing. Council will put the windfall into the reserve. Town treasurer David Pollard explained in detail how the new money will affect budget numbers; he also mentioned policing costs were down by $94,000 from 2009 levels. It left some scratching their heads because the OPP has insisted for six years it needs to increase the number of officers from the current about 12 to as many as 19. It offered to compromise at 14, but never satisfied the former council’s basic question: With crime going down, why should costs go up? Reeve Walter Stack was on the previous council and recalls a consultant’s report that said Arnprior could hire a municipal force, complete with a police chief, that totals 14 officers. He chuckled at the latest twist, but didn’t signal if council should maintain the same hardline approach until an OPP contract is finally signed or another direction is taken. Mayor David Reid was unavailable for comment on what strategy he intends to take. All appear to agree that without a predictable system in place, it is difficult to make informed decisions at budget time.

Greens candidates running campaigns without signs JOHN CARTER
john.carter@metroland.com
If you wondered why you haven’t noticed Green Party election signs around, there’s a good reason. The Greens are going signless this election. That will save on landfill trash and cut down on visual clutter, says the party in a news release. For Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Green party candidate Rosanne Van Schie, going signless seems to be a logical part of the solution. “In today’s world we can focus on Internet and media to promote our campaigns and people can show their support simply by linking our Facebook page or following us on twitter,” she said. “We do print posters and postcards on FSC certified paper for the campaign, but they all focus on sending people to check us out on our website or social
media sites.” FSC is an international certification and labeling system dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world’s forests. CABLE DEBATES The COGECO Cable station (22) in Renfrew and Arnprior will be airing several all-candidates debates this week. Tonight (Thursday) at 9 p.m., Tuesday’s MyFM debate will be aired. On Friday, April 29, COGECO will be airing back-to-back three of the debates it covered starting at 6 p.m., with the Valley Heritage Radio debate. The MyFm debate will follow about 7:30 p.m. and the Deep River debate at 8:30 p.m. WALKOUT FALLOUT The fallout from Conservative candidate Cheryl Gallant’s
early departure from the Valley Heritage Radio debate April 16 continues. In a release last week, Gallant’s campaign calls debate moderator Bruce McIntyre’s contention it encouraged the Green Party to protest outside the radio station “categorically false.” However, Gallant would have supported the Green Party’s participation in the debate if candidate Rosanne Van Schie had shown up, the release says. McIntyre standing behind his statements, quoting Green officials as telling him Gallant’s people had urged Van Schie to attend “and cause a scene.” An upset McIntyre maintains Gallant’s comments the Greens were deceived and mislead are the same as calling him and radio officials liars. He agrees there was a misunderstanding between the station and the Greens, but the party was content with the station’s
offer of an hour of free air time later, he said. McIntyre said the departure of manager Jim Long from the station a couple of days prior to the debate had nothing to do with the controversy. Gallant said she still had has “the highest confidence and trust in the Valley Heritage Radio,” but noted she had been unable to contact Long for clarification regarding McIntyre’s “contradictory” statements. In a letter to Valley Heritage Radio president Fay Kolpin, Gallant suggested she was so adamant the Greens be included because they were a reminder of her first campaign. “I am not writing to defend the Green Party, but had the Canadian Alliance, running in its first election in 2000, been excluded from all candidate meetings, I
Continued from front Hopefully the efforts to engage young people in the process are paying off, O’Neill said, quipping that “maybe we should have asked Rick Mercer to help earlier.” (Mercer’s rant on youth voting is being credited for inspiring a rise in youth interest across the country in the election.) O’Neill said although there’s no way to know if the increased turnout will translate to a higher turnout on election day, Elections Canada officials are pleased by the advance poll turnout. “It was heart-warming to see all the people out to vote.” O’Neill said people took obviously took advantage of being off work to vote on the Friday and Monday holidays. Weather
also likely played a role in the turnout, she said, noting Friday and Monday were nice days and Saturday was mostly rainy. Other than the early lineups, voting went smoothly, she said. “We appreciate the patience of people who had to wait.”
JACK-O-MANIA In a news release Monday, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke NDP candidate Eric Burton said his campaign is being buoyed by the national wave of support for leader Jack Layton. He says he has noticed a sharp increase in support in the last week as he canvasses across the riding. The tide began to turn after the federal party leaders’ debate, he said, adding: “They saw that while the other parties are offering more of the same, Jack and the NDP are offering a real choice,” said Burton.

Continued from Page 4 “They saw that Jack, instead of playing games, is putting the focus where it belongs, on helping Canadian families,” said Burton. He said Layton has laid out plans to hire more doctors, reward job creators, strengthen pensions, make life more affordable and fix Ottawa once and for all. “From Barry’s Bay to Eganville to Arnprior, I’m hearing the same things: we like what Jack is saying about health care, pensions, the environment and fighting poverty, and we like his positive outlook,” said Burton. Burton says he has deliberately run a positive campaign of ideas and principles, leaving the mudslinging to others. “Many people have told me they like this approach, especially a lot of the younger voters I’ve met,” he said. “They want to hear about solutions and they turn off when they hear too much negativity.” SERVING GRITS Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Liberal candidate

Christine Tabbert served food at a Pembroke soup kitchen Monday to emphasize there are needy people in the riding who need the help of a compassionate government, such her party is promising. In a news release issued over the weekend, Tabbert reiterated her “strong support” for giving the Ottawa River heritage designation and expressed concern about Conservative Cheryl Gallant’s opposition and her “misleading” the electorate on the issue. “No restrictions whatsoever would be imposed locally through this important designation,” she said. “This designation would be a great boost to our riding, in terms of economic
and job opportunities.” In a second release, the Liberal candidate decried the lack of integrity and transparency in government. Unlike the Conservatives, a Liberal government would be open and transparent and would immediately call for open tenders on the new fighter jets, she said. In a third release, she called for greater cooperation between the various levels of government in the riding. Instead of the politics of division and fear, she will use her expertise as a lawyer to bring politicians together to “move ahead on solving issues such as the shortage of doctors and getting the overdue
designation for the Ottawa River Heritage status as examples,” she said.
once a veteran reaches the age of 65. Clouthier also slammed Gallant for disregarding democracy for not attending all the all-candidates sessions in the campaign. “Given she’s been avoiding debates for years without consequence, she’s probably thinking she’s pretty close to invincible,” he said. However, he claims people in the riding are getting fed up. “She and her government talk about openness and accountability all the time, yet their actions are the extreme opposite of everything they’d have us believe. “I can’t think of anything more disrespectful to these people she’s promised to stand up for, and I
think she’s going to pay a big price for that.”
CLAWBACK SLAMMED In a news release Monday, Renfrew-NipissingPembroke Independent candidate Hec Clouthier accused Cheryl Gallant of having a double standard when it comes to supporting military veterans. “She’s constantly extolling her unwavering support for the military, yet when it comes down to brass tacks, she sells veterans out with her actions,” Clouthier said, referring to Gallant’s vote against Bill C-201, a piece of legislation that would have ended the government’s clawback of military pensions
ECONOMY MAIN ISSUE The economy is the campaign’s main issue in the country and this riding, says Conservative Cheryl Gallant in a news release last week. She pointed out that all candidates agreed at the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce forum that the issue they hear most at the door is the economy. Gallant said she is encouraged by the warm reception she is receiving at the doorstep while canvassing and “will continue to address their number one concern, which is the economy.”

EDITORIAL

Vote. At least Vote. Other people are dying to try it. No, really. We’re seeing it all across the Middle East and north Africa, people tired of autocratic one-man, one-party rule. According to the National Post, the last federal vote attracted the lowest voter turnout ever in a Canadian election, at only 59.1 per cent of eligible voters. Nearly 10 million people did not take up the chance to cast a ballot. Imagine if even half that number had voted – things might look very different today. In the last federal election, something unusual happened. The election was held on a Tuesday – federal votes usually take place on a Monday. This was because the vote was held the day after Canadian Thanksgiving. This year we have a similar hiccup in that the advance polling days took place over the Easter long weekend, starting on Good Friday and ending on Easter Monday. We can see this as either a good thing – people were off anyway, allowing more people to vote – or a bad thing, disrespecting a holy day, and since many people were travelling to see family away from their home ridings. However, the number of people voting in advance polls is way up this year. Amazing what can happen when a humdrum election suddenly becomes a horse race. One way in which voter turnout can be boosted is by finally joining the 21st century and allowing electronic voting online and over the telephone. But, as this campaign has proven, there are no easy answers. As we saw in the municipal elections in Arnprior, McNab-Braeside and other parts of the Ottawa Valley last October, the technology still has some bugs for online and telephone voting, with the system getting bogged down when too many people waited until voting day itself to cast their e-ballots. Ireland has scrapped its expensive touchscreen voting machine system. So, sadly, democracy will have to wait for technology to catch up. You, on the other hand, just need a made-up mind, and whatever ID you need to bring with you to the polling station. The politicians have had their say for the past month or so. Now it’s time for them to sit silent for a few hours and let you have your say. The polls are open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Monday, May 2. They await your visit.

Needed: MP in good standing with her party To the editor: If one looks at the Harper government record, it is hard to support their call for an extended mandate. This government has been found in contempt of our parliament by the Speaker of the House. Harper has claimed our parliament is dysfunctional, yet his party wrote a guide to disrupting parliamentary committees. Harper has prorogued our parliament twice to avoid defeat. This party has been found guilty by the Appeal Court of Canada for cheating during the 2006 election, even at the time Harper was promising more open and accountable government. Instead, according to the Auditor General, we have the most secretive government in our history. They are not really the conservatives our parents would have recognized. See ‘VOTE’ Page 7
An independent can ask questions, sit on committees To the editor: In our democracy, freedom of speech and the ability to present one’s views is an essential element to the freedoms we all enjoy. In that respect, I thank Orval Strong for his recent letters to the editors of local newspapers (Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, April 21). However, some of the comments made by Mr. Strong regarding the power of Independent MP are in fact incorrect and do not accurately depict the voice of an Independent in the House of Commons. Mr. Strong says that Independents do not get to ask questions during Question Period – this statement is incorrect. In fact, every Member of Parliament, including an Independent, has the right to ask questions during Question Period. In the House of Commons Procedure and Practice, 2nd ed, 2009, it is noted that during the 35th Parliament, when there were as many as 17 Independents in the House, the Speaker attempted to recognize at least one Independent every other Question Period, if not every day. Independents can also attend and sit on every committee in the House of Commons, whereas party members

are specifically directed by their party leaders as to which committees to sit on. In fact, current Independent MP André Arthur, elected in Quebec in the 2006 and 2008 general elections, has been a member of the Industry, Science and Technology Committee as well as the Subcommittee on Oil and Gas and Other Energy Prices. An Independent MP for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke could, therefore, sit in on and have a knowledge and understanding of all committees operating in the House of Commons – particularly those committees that play an important role for the County of Renfrew and our local issues. In addition, an Independent Member of Parliament can, like each and every backbencher, introduce private members’ bills in the House of Commons. While it is true that private members’ bills are difficult to pass into law, this can be said for all private members’ bills. An Independent MP, therefore, has the same chances of passing a private members’ bill as any other member regardless of party affiliation. The next parliament is likely to once again feature a minority government meaning the power of an Inde-

pendent will be substantial. There have been many instances in which a government has sought the vote of an Independent to pass legislation or even stop a government from falling. It can be argued that an Independent’s vote is even more crucial than a backbencher, as he or she has the ability to keep the government going without concern for party standings and poll numbers. In May 2005, an Independent MP from British Columbia, while battling cancer and not long after receiving chemotherapy treatment, flew to Ottawa and with his one vote saved the government from losing a confidence vote on the budget – his one vote was the difference between the government continuing on or falling. His reason for his vote was that he was following the wishes of his constituents. In my view, there is only one candidate on the ballot in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke that can overtake the current member and that individual is Independent candidate Hec Clouthier. If we truly want to replace the current member, Hec is not only the best, but the only choice.

To the editor: A recent editorial printed in the Toronto Star (Wednesday, April 11) titled “For an End to Potted Plants�, is based on exit interviews with 65 former MPs. The report paints a picture of elected representatives unable to advance what they see as the interests of their constituents or Canadians at large, because of the controlling, top-down nature of their own parties. These former MPs describe the House of Commons as little more than “a zoo full of trained seals.� The report also states that the degree of parliamentary disfunction has reached a fevered pitch and the former MPs lay the blame squarely at the feet of their own parties. So many of the MPs claimed to be embarrassed by the actions of their parties and the grandstanding behaviour of MPs in the House of Commons. Most felt as though they were not much more than potted plants. The conclusion drawn from the report is that MPs of all political stripes ought to stand up for themselves and more importantly, their constituents. Isn’t it a wonderful coincidence that we, in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, will be electing an independent candidate, Hec Clouthier, who has recognized the
fact that the party system has all but destroyed the effectiveness of locally elected Members of Parliament. Our current local MP, Cheryl Gallant, has been muzzled by her leader (most of it, her own doing) and as a result, we in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, have not, for all intents and purposes, been properly represented in Parliament for the past 10 years. With all due respect to the other candidates involved, it is my very strong belief that the only candidate that can represent the needs and aspirations of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke is the Independent candidate – Hec Clouthier. He owes allegiance to no party and decision-making would be based on what would be the best for his constituents. With Hec Clouthier at the helm, the prospects for the future of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, are very promising and exciting. Give ‘em Hec. I am neither for nor against the gun registry, but I do believe the two most important issues, at present, that need to be addressed is the forest industry and the future of AECL. John C. Hildebrandt, former Mayor, Madawaska Valley

Vote to ensure an effective opposition Continued from Page 6 Meanwhile, our muzzled MP has stood by while the Nuclear Safety Commissioner, Linda Keen, was ďŹ red for doing her job. While AECL was put up for sale our MP’s vision of leadership was to offer to do a survey of local concerns. Our MP ducked responsibility on the railway closures, leaving it to our municipal leaders. At the all-candidate meetings, the independent candidate claims he will hold the balance of power in Ottawa. What he failed to answer was, how one MP among 308 can hold such power. If independents are so powerful, why are there not more? Can you name the achievement of a single Canadian independent MP? (me neither).
The independent candidate had to stretch all the way to Australia to ďŹ nd an example of an independent doing anything for his riding. Only an effective opposition could hold this government to account; they have done their best. Now it is our turn. What this riding needs is someone who has good standing in her party, can work with others and is an articulate and persuasive champion of our needs. Christine Tabbert has been canvassing throughout this riding for 18 months, and her deep-rooted connection with the people has been amply demonstrated during the all-candidate meetings.

MP’s antics show it’s time to vote for someone new May 2
To the editor: There is a lot of apathy out there about this election, yet this might be the most important election in the history of Canada and in the future of this riding. We have a MP who has embarrassed us on the national stage to the point that Renfrew-NipissingPembroke is a joke. Cheryl Gallant is the face and voice of Renfrew County and all some people know about us. At a time when every community is using millions of dollars donated from empty coffers to attract doctors, friends of mine in the medical field say they’d never move to an area that thought like and elected Cheryl Gallant. In the last three federal elections I ran alongside Mrs. Gallant and I heard her promise to abolish the long gun registry and stop abortion in Canada.
She has not brought either issue forward and her party has not tabled legislation in the house. Steven Harper made it clear in a televised interview that his government had no intention of opening the debate on abortion. which puts all the parties on the same page. If Cheryl was serious about abolishing the long gun registry or stopping abortion she could have tabled private member’s bills or forced her party to make government motions that had a chance of passing. Under Cheryl’s reign as MP for the last 11 years, here in Renfrew County we have seen the forestry sector decimated, over 2,000 good jobs shipped overseas, the trains stop running, AECL dying from neglect and ready to be sold off, the Ottawa
Are you or your partner suffering from SNORING AND SLEEP APNEA?
We deserve better representation To the editor: In Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke we have the opportunity to make a better future for our riding. We need to get an MP in Ottawa who will be able to speak for the families, farmers and members of the forest industry. We need someone to fight for AECL before it has been completely sold off by the federal government. We need someone whose party will not buy jet planes, which have not been put out to tender or buy planes for which there has been no tested prototype. We need an MP who will speak for the members of our Armed Forces, especially those injured fighting for Canada. We need a young, honest, caring, compassionate person who has her feet on the ground. We need an MP who is an experienced litigator who can support bills in parliament rationally and intelligently and not use the emotional tactics of fear to present her arguments. We need an MP who speaks intelligently with a sound knowledge base, not one who has been forbidden to speak by her party unless it is from prepared notes. Now is the time to send Christine Tabbert to Ottawa. She was born and raised in Renfrew County and her heart is here. Do not let the fact that she is well-educated and gained valuable legal experience in Toronto stop you from giving her your vote. We need the talents and skills which she has gained. That experience is a positive quality which can only benefit our constituency. So you can vote for a character; or you can vote for arrogant disdain; or you can vote for Christine Tabbert who will represent you and your families. We deserve better than we have put up with since 2000.
River heritage designation stalled, no new investment in our roads and an MP so marginalized she sits with the NDP. What did Cheryl vote for in the past session of parliament? She voted for the enabling bill for the HST that has crippled many families, for the $60 billion tax cut to the oil companies that are gouging us at the pumps, and for extending the Free Trade Agreement to Panama and Colombia that are taking our jobs. So it begs the question, just who is Cheryl Gallant representing? As citizens, we are unable to ask Cheryl questions about these issues as she avoids public debates. The government of Steven Harper is the first in Canadian history to be found in contempt of parliament. He also has managed to run up the biggest deficit in

ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE - April 28 2011
The green message is being muzzled during the election campaign OLE HENDRICKSON Ottawa River Institute
Why did the mainstream media exclude the Green Party from the April 12 English language leaders’ debate, and the April 14 French debate? Could it be they don’t want the environment to be an election issue? What is ‘the environment’ anyway? It’s life. It’s our communities. It’s everything we eat and all that goes on around us. It’s our health and our children’s health. It’s the basis for our long-term economic prosperity. Why should we not discuss this during an election? The decision to exclude the Green Party was made by a ‘broadcast consortium’ consisting of four members: CBC/RadioCanada, CTV, Global and TVA (the latter being a subsidiary of Quebecor Media). The consortium provided limited information on its decision, which was made behind closed doors. One can only speculate as to their mo-
tives. Given that television is all about making money – selling cars, and beer, and cosmetics – perhaps the television barons worry that debating environmental issues during an election campaign might make us buy less stuff. The broadcast consortium provided a dribble of information that backs up this theory – sort of. Actually, the consortium did not say that debating environmental issues is bad for business. It said that debating any issues during an election campaign is bad for business. Democratic debate itself is the problem for the television barons. It distracts people from more important things – like watching hockey games. I’m not making this up. Troy Reeb, the Global Television news executive who chairs the broadcast consortium, explained their decision in a Globe and Mail interview. He said: “The sacrificed cost of prime-time revenue is a huge hit to all the broadcasters. It’s massive. This is worth pointing out. People will say debate is earlier in the campaign than it
has been in other years, but what starts on April 13? The hockey playoffs on CBC. That’s hugely important.” The CBC didn’t exactly say the election distracts us from hockey. It did, however, characterize any discussion on its decision to exclude Ms. May as a ‘diversion’. A CBC story entitled Debate over May diverts campaign begins by saying “Canada’s federal election campaign took a temporary detour Wednesday into whether Green Party Leader Elizabeth May would be excluded from the televised leaders debates.” After deciding to exclude the Green Party from the debates, the mainstream media carefully spun its own coverage of this decision. It argued that any serious discussion of the implications of its decision would “divert the campaign.” Divert the campaign from what, precisely? The strategy succeeded. When the media get together and agree not to cover their own decision, there is no media coverage. Slam dunk.
This helps ensure that environmental issues will have minimal impact on the election. Discussion will be limited roughly to what can be covered in a 140character Twitter ‘tweet’. The degree of control of corporate media over news, and implications for democracy, are chilling. Corporate media have succeeded in sowing doubts about the reality of climate change in the minds of a huge proportion of the North American population. The environment no longer matters. Nothing is real. Big Brother Television has spoken. Debating how the federal government should address environmental issues – or any other public issues, for that matter – is a ‘temporary detour’. God forbid that we should think any thoughts other than those sanctioned by the mainstream corporate media. Watershed Ways is a publication of the Ottawa River Institute (www.ottawariverinstitute.ca), a non-profit, charitable organization based in the Upper Ottawa Valley.
Think about the silenced before you decide to eliminate the federal gun registry To the editor: It is estimated that violence against women costs Canadians approximately $4 billion annually. The long-gun registry is a hot topic here and in many other parts of Canada. Sound bites and misinformation floods our media about the ills of this program; however, across the nation sexual assault
centres hear from the police that they consult the long-gun registry every time they attend a domestic violence call. Police have reported that is has been used to prevent tragedies and to solve crimes. In the past 10 years, 71 per cent of spousal homicides using a firearm involved the use of a shotgun or rifle. Some people say this is a ru-
ral/city issue. However, sexual assault centres hear from women that rifles and shotguns are often used to intimidate and control them. We hear from local women that they want the registry to remain in place but do not feel safe to express these “unpopular” opinions in our communities. The YWCA addressed the House Standing Committee on

It is the voices of northern women who fear for their lives and their mental health who are asking for protection. “We see women who have experienced years of brutal in-
timidation. These women cannot safely express their need for protection themselves, and it is up to Canada to understand this and respond in an appropriate way.” The gun registry never killed anyone – ending it might. Jancy Brown Women’s Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County

To the editor: At which point I lost the last tatA favourite election pastime tered shreds of any respect for among my friends and family Cheryl Gallant. from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario is to subject me to friendly mockery about my incumbent MP in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, and to offer sincere consolation over the unlikelihood of her defeat. They know her across this land by her rude behaviour and the ignorance of her words. She could also be known for hollow promises not kept. The return of Hec Clouthier, a man whose roots in the constituency are deep and whose performance as an MP was solid, offers something I have not seen since coming to the Valley: the possibility of laying the mocking laughter to rest. I have no experience with Hec, but when he was MP he phoned my daughter on a Sunday afternoon and spent a full half hour discussing an issue she had raised with his office. In contrast, when she phoned Gallant’s office to enquire as to why she was black-listed for honestly answering a constituent survey, she was stonewalled. In the passport data incident, we were accused of political conspiracy and then stonewalled.
Independent wouldn’t be effective To the editor: So Mr. Clouthier says he will hold the balance of power when elected to the next parliament. He will be securing billions of dollars for our riding in exchange for his support. He will be the most effective representative this riding has ever had. After hearing all this, there’s no doubt we will all once again become believers in that jolly old guy with the red suit and white beard. Make no mistake, Mr. Clouthier is well aware of the effectiveness or should I say ineffectiveness of an Independent representative. Please give serious thought as to who will be the winner if he (Clouthier) happens to be elected, certainly not the good people of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. So he sits as an Independent and attempts to have us believe he will hold some balance of power. As an Independent he will have no budget, he will not be allowed to sit on parliamentary committees and so no input into any legislative decisions, he has no funds for research, a crucial aid for the effectiveness of any member and no funds with which to communicate to his constituents. By the way, have you ever heard of an Independent winning backto-back elections? That tells you something. Please think carefully how you vote on election day. Kevin O’Kane Cobden
On Saturday I voted early, for Hec Cloutier, even though I believe Christine Tabbert would

Public urged to support Run for Military Families JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com
The military runners are coming back next week. The public is urged to come out on Thursday, May 5 in either Arnprior or Braeside to greet the runners as they pass through on the fourth annual fundraiser that supports counselling and assistance for military families. The runners, on the ďŹ rst day of their Ottawa-to-Petawawa run, are scheduled to arrive at Legion Park (across from John XXIII school) at about 1 p.m. Last year, close to 1,000 students and members of the public showed up to support the effort. At discussion of the event at Tuesday’s Arnprior council meeting, Coun. Lynn Grinstead, the run’s local fundraising coordinator, said even more people are expected this year. The Town of Arnprior, the Arnprior Legion and the Arnprior Lions have joined to put on a free barbecue for the occasion and several activities have been planned. A light armoured vehicle will be on hand for students to see close up. The students will line Edey Street to cheer on the runners as they arrive. While not mandatory, students have been asked to donate $1 each to the cause. After a short ceremony, the runners will then head off down River Road, returning about 4 p.m. for a community barbecue at the Braeside R.A. Centre. Arnprior council has approved the temporary closure of Edey Street between John and MacDonald streets from 12:30 to about 1:30 p.m. May 5. At its April 19 meeting, McNab-Brae-
side council approved a $1,000 donation to the run, as recommended by its recreation committee. Council discussed whether the money should be a donation to the run or pay for the barbecue, which is run by volunteers and usually features donations of much of the food. Mayor Mary Campbell said community donations at the event, in its fourth year, have slowly risen from $20 to $180. She agreed the timing, when many people are at work, is not conducive to a large turnout, but said she still felt donations should be up to the community and not the taxpayer. The run is organized and sponsored by Commissionaires Ottawa in partnership with Canadian Forces Base Petawawa and Canadian Forces Support Unit in Ottawa. Its mission is to raise awareness and funds for military families through support for child care programs managed by the Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre and the Military Family Resource Centre-National Capital Region. About 20 commissionaires and 20 military personnel will depart from Parliament Hill in Ottawa about 8 a.m. May 5 and run relay-style through West Carleton, Arnprior, Renfrew (2:20 p.m.) and McNabBraeside. The next day, on May 6, they will run through the Township of Whitewater Region, the City of Pembroke, and into Petawawa where they will cross the ďŹ nish line at a Red Friday Rally hosted by Red Friday Ladies Lisa Miller and Karen Boire. For more information, check the website www.runformilitaryfamilies.ca or join them on Facebook at www.facebook.ca/ runformilitaryfamilies.

The show will feature artists from Arnprior and Renfrew whose art gives voice to people striving to care for their mental health. One of the artists from last year’s show passed away, so special tribute will be paid to artist Paul Stubinsky. Some of the artists will be on hand to discuss their art, along with information available to individuals seeking to learn more about mental health services in the area. The show is free to attend and will run for two days on the May 78 weekend at the Arnprior Public Library from noon until 4 p.m. Mental illness touches everyone one way or another. One in five Canadians will experience mental illness each year. Most people have a family member, a friend or a colleague who has suffered from mental illness or some mental health challenges. That’s why Mental Health Awareness Week is so important all, giving rise to this year’s theme ‘Mental Health For All’.
Rugby tourney canteen proceeds to go to field lining machine JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com
Any revenues earned at the Dochert Park canteen during the Eastern Ontario high school girls rugby championships will go toward a new lining machine for the park. McNab-Braeside council agreed April 19 with the recommendation by its recreation committee to earmark proceeds earned by volunteers running the canteen to offset the cost of a new lining machine. The machine is used to mark the fields for soccer games, the main use of the popular park in the township. However, Arnprior District High School has received approval from council to also use the park for its girls rugby games in the fall. This year, ADHS will host the Eastern Ontario championships set for May 18 and May 20. Mayor Mary Campbell noted the volunteers running the canteen tend to be members of the recreation committee and she thanked the group for its leadership in the matter.

Battle of Vimy Ridge commemorated by Arnprior Cadets The Battle of Vimy Ridge is one Canada will not ever forget. The April 9, 1917 battle that devastated Canadians with heavy casualties and loss of lives was commemorated by Army Cadets across Canada April 8. The Arnprior-based 2360 Royal Canadian Army Cadets participated in a mass memorial parade and candlelight ceremony that included more than 300
orate the Battle of the Atlantic and the Battle of Britain, respectively. Arnprior Cadets were among one of four Army Cadet Corps involved in an overnight vigil at the tomb of the unknown soldier, before being turned over to the Canadian Forces for the National Memorial April 9.

Members of the Arnprior-based 2360 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps get ready to leave for the ďŹ rst ever double ceremony to commemorate the anniversary of the battle of Vimy Ridge April 8-9. The cadets participated in a 7 p.m. Friday candlelight ceremony at Ottawa’s National War Memorial, then took turns with other Cadet groups in standing guard in a vigil overnight. They were there until the Vimy Day commemorative ceremony at 10 a.m. Saturday. Canada’s Governor-General David Johnston was so impressed, he suggested the ceremony be held annually. Canadians soldiers played a key role in the crucial World War I victory 94 years ago. Vimy Ridge was fought between April 9 and 12, 1917 in the west of France, with 3,598 Canadian soldiers killed and 10,602 wounded. The Arnprior Army Cadets are holding a tag day this Saturday, April 30 at a dozen stores around town to raise money for Cadet activities and equipment. Photo by Sherry Haaima

As Arnprior Mayor David Reid prepares to lace up his sneakers for his first Walk With My Mayor, chair and founder Hyacinth Chatterton is thinking about her final year in that role next year. The 2012 event will mark the tenth anniversary of WWMM, a walkathon with the mayors of Arnprior and McNabBraeside. Reid and McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell will join the community for the ninth annual Walk With My Mayor fundraiser this Saturday, April 30. The main beneficiary of the event is the Arnprior and District Breast Cancer Support Group. As in years past, the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital’s Partners in Caring campaign will also benefit. Chatterton is hopeful this year’s WWMM will be as successful as years past. So far over the years, more than $50,00 has been raised. With the recent announcement that after next year she’d be stepping down from her role, she says she has enjoyed the challenge. “It’s sort of nice to do things and know when to let go,” says Chatterton. “It’s been exciting and fun and a lot of hard work.” Changes this year include the broadening of the WWMM committee to include representation from local elementary schools. “It’s been kind of nice getting more
input from the younger members of the committee,” says Chatterton. Suggestions include revving up the WWMM t-shirts to hot pink for next year’s anniversary event. School participation continues to be a focus for the event with pizza parties and movie passes up for grabs for the top fundraisers, says WWMM chair Hyacinth Chatterton. The event includes a variety of awards, including prizes for the oldest and youngest participants. Registration for the rain-or-shine event begins at 9 a.m. at the Arnprior Quality Inn parking lot, where the walk starts and ends. The route has been extended from three-and-a-half to five kilometers and will include Madawaska, Riverview, the avenues (First, Second, Third, Fourth and Seventh) and McLean. Pledge forms are available at Citadel Crafts, Giant Tiger, Arnprior Public Library, Ultimate Fitness Gym, Arnprior Health & Fitness Club, Sports Zone, the Nick Smith Centre, the ADMH Partners in Caring office and from members of the WWMM committee and BCSG. Free commemorative t-shirts will be distributed during registration with the walk set to begin at 10 a.m. In the interest of recycling and in preparation for the 10year milestone, participants will receive two shirts this year - the 2011 version and a souvenir shirt from a past WWMM A free barbecue for participants begins at noon.

Compromise sought in Waba storage unit debate JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com
McNab-Braeside council has agreed to table a proposal for storage units in Waba in the hopes the developer and residents opposed to the plan can work out a compromise acceptable to both. Mayor Mary Campbell said she couldn’t support the proposal as submitted given the residents’ concerns. The fact the facility would be run by an absentee landlord is of particular worry, she said. The proposal by the Stewart family is for a 3,000-square-foot building made up of 24 units with a possible solar energy component. While, council feels the township needs more commercial development to survive, there are obviously things that need to be worked out before it proceeds. Business enterprises can be located in residential areas, but only if they are properly integrated into the community, Campbell said. Coun. Aldene Styles said considering the number of people opposed at a hearing April 12, she would be uncomfortable in passing the rezoning bylaw before working with the developer to see if the project can be made more appealing to neighbours. “Let’s see what we can do to make people more comfortable.” The response took council by surprise as it was close to standing room only at the April 12 public meeting held to gather input on the request. The concerns expressed were varied with some people adamant they want no commercial development in Waba. “At the very basic of levels, we fail to see the need for this business in our community,” said written correspondence from Kelly and Harry Strelow. Theft, vandalism, garbage and pollution were also cited by the Strelows and others in opposition of the proposal. The application requests the rezoning of a portion of the land to allow for the storage units and a reduction in the minimum required water setback from 30 metres to 12 from Waba Creek to allow the developer to build on an existing concrete slab. The property at one time had been zoned industrial, but is currently residential. Dave Stewart addressed the concerns, saying many of them were unwarranted. “A broad swath has been painted here,” said Stewart. As far as the effect on the environment and wildlife cited by some complainants, Stewart said: “Mini storage units there are not going to change that one whit.” The neighbourhood’s atmosphere will not be negatively affected, he continued.
“All these concerns about the aesthetics, they’re not going to be diminished whatsoever,” said Stewart. He went on to address other comments. “The suggestion that it’s going to bring crime into Waba – that’s ridiculous,” said Stewart. He maintained that with two sisters in the community, the Stewarts also are interested in
preserving the lifestyle. Campbell suggested the possibility of the developer working with community members to come up with a compromise that would suit all. “I do encourage the community of Waba to talk about its future in the very broad sense,” she said. She noted there is hamlet commercial businesses in other
parts of the township, including Braeside and White Lake. Council has to be careful and clear in its decision as it will guide future development in its hamlet areas, she added. Campbell said that if the developer agrees to hold a commu-
nity meeting with an aim to “refine” the proposal in response to neighbours’ concerns, “we can proceed without going back to square one,” she said. “We hope we can have a winwin … maybe it’s not possible, but won’t be for lack of trying.”

Scotiabank sponsors Calling of the Clans Ceilidh to be held during McNab Days Not many years after the Laird of McNab established a local settlement in 1825, the Bank of Nova Scotia (New Scotland) was founded at Halifax in 1832. Both initiatives were launched in recognition of the growing importance of Canadian community and trade. Scotiabank is continuing its commitment to community and economic development in its announcement this week that it will contribute as a major sponsor to McNab Days, the township’s annual festival. Scotiabank will participate in the ‘Calling of the Clans’ Ceilidh. Scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 23 on the grounds of Waba Cottage Museum in White Lake, the Ceilidh will feature a family picnic and music. Food will also be

Further, the Commercial Branch of Scotiabank is donating $200 toward event signage. The Township of McNab-Braeside is proud to have its partner, Scotiabank, celebrate “our shared heritage” in its sponsorship of this McNab Days event.
JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com
McNab-Braeside’s recreation committee has balked at the idea of providing any more than the previously agreed to sum of $1,000 for McNab Days. While the committee is supportive of the festival, it is concerned that it doesn’t have the funding in its budget to provide a further subsidy. Council approved the committee’s recommendation. However, during discussion of the matter at council’s April 19 meeting, there was some confusion revolving around $15,000 that council has allocated for McNab Days-related items in its draft budget. Mayor Mary Campbell explained the money was for proposed improvements, such as docks at Red Pine Bay, which the River Run subcommittee had requested be done by the June 25 date of the event. However, if council feels it would be rushing the upgradings, then it won’t be done in time for McNab Days, she said. Campbell agreed it makes sense to do an environmental assessment and check into grants first. “We have to determine whether it (improvements) would be a good investment.” Recreation committee member Ryan Marcellus, who is helping new recreation director Geoff Patterson phase into the job, expressed concern about projects being proposed by McNab Days subcommittees bypassing the recreation committee and going straight to council. It is a worry if they have financial impacts on the recreation budget, he said.

This will help keep everyone safe during the hunt.” Anyone with information about a natural resources or public safety related crime is encouraged to call the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources violation reporting line at 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667), contact their local CO directly, or call Crime Stoppers at 1800-222-TIPS (8477).

The last week of April is the traditional start of wild turkey hunting in much of southern Ontario. This year the season opened in Renfrew County and West Carleton Monday, April 25 and runs until May 31, including Sundays in those municipalities that support Sunday gun hunting. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and the Ontario Conservation Officers Association (OCOA) commend the tens of thousands of outdoor enthusiasts who will take to the field in celebration of our outdoor heritage, but remind all hunters to put safety first, and respect private property. “Licensed hunters across southern Ontario will be in the field for the next five weeks, hoping to harvest a wild turkey for the table,” said OFAH executive director Mike Reader. “A large percentage of us will be hunting on private property, through the generosity of a landowner. It is important that we take time before the season starts

Reinhardt, Lumber Kings win Page Cup JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com
Ben Reinhardt of Arnprior has made Central Canada Hockey League history. The Pembroke Lumber Kings captain has been an integral part of five league championship teams and has shared in the winning of two Fred Page Cups. Reinhardt, Arnprior’s Kyle Just, and the rest of the Lumber Kings returned home Sunday from Terrebonne, Que. with the Fred Page Cup, emblematic of Eastern Canada Junior A hockey supremacy. They were met with a hero’s welcome when their bus rolled into Pembroke. The Lumber Kings are off to Camrose, Alta. this weekend to compete for the Canadian Junior A hockey title. They start their push for national Tier one junior hockey supremacy with their first Royal Bank Cup (formerly Centennial Cup) game this Sunday, May 1 against Portage. The Lumber Kings play Wellington Monday, Camrose Wednesday and Vernon Vipers Thursday to complete round-robin action. Reinhardt is hoping to lead Pembroke to its first Royal Bank Cup. He has been a mainstay on the Lumber King defence for five years. The talented defenceman has been the team’s captain for the last two seasons. Reinhardt and Just, one of the Lumber Kings’ top scoring forwards, came up through the Arnprior Minor Hockey system. They were both members of star-studded Arnprior minor Packers teams that were perennial favourites at the prestigious Silver Stick tournament locally, and internationally.

They followed up the next day with a 95 win over Summerside, PEI. Despite a 6-5 loss to host Terrebonne, the Lumber Kings qualified for the final because of their goal differential. Land Sunday, Pembroke, despite dealing with several injuries, captured the
Fred Page Cup by doubling Longueuil 6-3. In the four games, Just scored two goals and added nine assists. The line of Just, Jonathan Milley and Matthew Peca proved almost unstoppable. Reinhardt added a goal and an assist and anchored the Lumber Kings defence. Pembroke won the CCHL title by ousting the Cornwall Colts in six games.

McNab-Braeside council has agreed that $8,000 from the township’s Minor Ball reserve fund be put in this year’s budget to pay for bleachers at McNab Centre Park.

Greek luncheon a big success There was a great turnout at the Greek Luncheon at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in Braeside April 9. Organizer Kathy McMahon noted the purpose of the event was to raise funds for ongoing projects related to the renovation and refurbishment of the church, hall and grounds. Next year the Parish marks the 25th anniversary of the Dedication of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, which was built to replace the former church in Sand Point (since torn down) Last year the church bell, which rang out for more than 100 years in St. Alexander’s Church, was restored and placed in a newly constructed tower at the church in Braeside. The project was made possible by the generous support of parishioners and neighbors

Soprano Jennifer Slight, left photo, will be one of several guest performers at the May 1 concert. Arnprior mezzo soprano Lisa Webber is playing a lead role in organizing and performing at the concert.
Choir’s concert fit for king (and queen) As the world awaits with much anticipation the spring Royal Wedding, the Arnprior Community Choir prepares a Britishtype celebration of its own. On Sunday evening, May 1 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Peter Celestine Church in Pakenham, the choir will present ‘Come Ye Sons of Art’ by Henry Purcell. Purcell was a prolific British composer who dedicated this work as a Birthday Ode to Queen Mary in 1694. The work contains ‘Sound the Trumpet’, the famous soprano/ alto duet; ‘Strike the Viol’ for alto soloist and flute; and ‘Bid the Virtues’ for soprano and oboe obligato. The chorus work is accompanied by soaring trumpets, strings and chamber orchestra. The evening will feature many fine musicians led by guest conductor Jiri Hlavacek. Since 1991, the Arnprior Community Choir has promoted and supported young local musicians as they
establish their musical careers. Fittingly, joining the orchestra are several young violinists from the Almonte studio of Suzanne Snelling. As well, Renfrew soprano, Jennifer Slight will be accompanied by renowned oboist, David Sale, who now resides in Pakenham. Almonte-based cellist, Steven Smith will perform solo’s with Lisa Webber, as well as provide bass continuo for the Purcell. Joining the string section are several members from the Divertimento Orchestra of Ottawa, one being local violist, Nancy Illman. The community choir is so pleased to present an evening of music such as this, collaborating with fine musicians from the local area, using this very beautiful church in Pakenham and preparing music of this calibre to celebrate 20 years. Tickets are available at the Arnprior Book Shop or from choir members.

Gary Cybulski planned to retire and start his own carpentry business, but he never got that chance. The 52-year-old was diagnosed with glioblastoma cancer last October. The diagnosis is a grim one, since patients are seldom given much more than a year to live. But Gary’s death was far too imminent, says one of his two sons, Jamie Cybulski, 23. “Disbelief,” says Jamie of his reaction to learning his dad had an inoperable brain tumour. “There had been no cancer in our family that we can remember. You’re just numb, you can’t believe it, but you believed he’d fight with every ounce in his body.” Ironically, Gary never smoked or drank alcohol. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments took place in October and November at the Ottawa Hospital as his dad started to lose weight rapidly. He was then moved to Renfrew Victoria Hospital before it was suggested he be transferred to Hospice Renfrew Palliative Care, where he was admitted in late December. “At that point I was very skeptical,” admits Jamie. “At that point we were relying on hope … but we had heard enough stories, that the whole atmosphere at the hospice was good.” Restless in the hospital, at hospice he seemed more content. “He just completely calmed down within 24 hours,” recalls Jamie, who attributes the change to the quieter atmosphere, but particularly to the presence of personal support worker Emily Hass, who sat through the first night beside the anxious new resident. On Jan. 5, 2011 Gary died. “They took care of him, but us, too,” says Jamie of the hospice staff. “Just the little things, like having coffee on and little treats. It definitely made an awful situation a little less terrible.” The fact staff members came to his father’s wake also left a positive impression. Jamie’s comments come shortly before the fifth annual Hike for Hospice, as he urged community members to support one of the hospice’s three major fundraisers. Jamie also uses the word ‘community’ in a broader sense, pointing out that the free service for family members is available for residents across the Ottawa Valley. Several Arnprior areas residents have used the service. The three-kilometre Hike for Hospice’s emcees will be Jamie Cybulski and Mark Papousek. Registration is at 1 p.m. this Sunday, May 1 at Stewart Park in Renfrew. The hike is at 2 p.m. Hike for Hospice is one of Hospice Renfrew’s three major fundraisers. The others are this year’s Aug. 12 Aikenhead’s hospice golf classic and Nov. 12 Hoot for Hospice. All three are critical fundraisers, says hospice fundraising director Jo-Anne Dowdall-Brown. She notes that more than $200,000 must be raised each year, since provincial funding covers only about half of operating costs. Last year, $40,000 was raised through Hike for Hospice. This year, organizers are hoping to raise $50,000. The lead hikers along the Millennium Trail will be emergency service personnel. “It’s great fun and it’s a great day. And it’s a great way to memorialize someone who has passed on,” said Dowdall-Brown. Her reference was to the Memory Board, on which family members or friends can attach signed messages or photos of loved ones. For more details, visit www.hikeforhospicerenfrew.ca.

Council has asked the Renfrew OPP to step up patrols at the Burnstown Beach after a resident expressed concern about vandalism and littering at the park. A sign was vandalized and garbage cans were tipped over and litter strewn around the park just outside the hamlet of Burnstown in early March. “Why was there garbage there … people aren’t using it yet,” questioned Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie. Unfortunately, some people dump their garbage off there, explained Mellema. Council decided to also refer the complaint to its recreation committee.

BEACH VANDALISM
460539
john.carter@metroland.com
McNab-Braeside council has put a recreation committee recommendation to hire a student to run the new canteen at the Burnstown Beach this summer on hold until the proposal can be fully discussed during budget deliberations. Coun. Aldene Styles said the committee felt hiring a student was a better option than contracting out the operation or asking for proposals. It was indicated running the canteen with a student was the best way to maximize revenue for the township. The committee suggested the operating expenses could be funded through the Burnstown Beach park operating budget. However, it has become clear that it could have impacts on the recreation budget and needs more discussion, Styles said. “I’d just as soon not make a decision until we determine the impact on the budget.” Mayor Mary Campbell suggested a business plan is needed detailing projected revenue and costs. Tabling the recommendation would also give council more time to ask beach users what they want, she added. Township CAO Noreen Mellema said a delay shouldn’t cause a timing problem regarding hiring of a student, if that’s the route eventually approved, as the municipality has a number of applications. Campbell noted the hire doesn’t necessarily have to be a student, “as there are several people out there looking for part-time work.”

Renfrew Ontario Provincial Police are investigating a report of a mischief to property April 22 in McNab-Braeside. The victim reports having the rear window of his truck was smashed sometime overnight. The incident occurred while the vehicle was parked at a private home. OPP Constable Nitschmann is investigating. On April 17, Renfrew OPP recovered a stolen vehicle on Clifford Side Road in McNab-Braeside. A police investigation revealed the vehicle was stolen from a restaurant in Almonte the previous night. Police are looking for any information regarding this incident. Call the Renfrew OPP Detachment or Renfrew County Crime Stoppers. Const. Carruthers is investigating. Renfrew OPP have responded to 11 motor vehicle collisions since April 18. The collisions resulted in three drivers being charged under the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario. Those charges include fail to report an accident, following too close and fail to drive in marked lane. Renfrew OPP has put a Fatal Reduction Plan into effect because of the number of fatal collisions that have occurred in the past year. This includes more patrols, RIDE programs and assistance of the Ottawa Traffic Management Unit. In response to the fatal reduction plan. Renfrew OPP has conducted traffic enforcement on Highway 17 targeting speeders, distracted and aggressive drivers.
service during the past week and conducted 44 RIDE/seatbelt checks as part of the spring seatbelt campaign April 13 to 23. They checked 3,428 vehicles, which resulted in 10 seatbelt charges, three seatbelt warnings, two Highway Traffic Act charges and 26 other warnings issued for traffic-related offences. In eastern Ontario, the OPP checked 116,906 vehicles and 3,178 child seatbelts. They report 837 driver, 181 passenger and 22 child seatbelt offences.

The driver’s response – “Is this really necessary? I just got one last week.” The OPP reminds motorists that using a seat belt is the single most effective way to reduce the chance of injury or death in a motor vehicle collision. Seatbelt non-compliance remains one of the four major causes of persons killed in fatal motor vehicle collisions along with speeding, impaired driving and driving while distracted. Although the campaign has come to a close, OPP officers will to continue to enforce this life-saving requirement.

Renfrew Rib Challenge is back BRUCE MCINTYRE County of Renfrew
Stoke the coals, marinate the ribs, and get ready to sample the tastiest ribs found anywhere in Renfrew County! On Saturday, May 7, members of the Renfrew paramedic base will defend their title of champions of the Renfrew Rib Challenge against members of the Renfrew OPP, Renfrew Victoria Hospital, the Central Ambulance Communications Centre, and the Renfrew, Horton, McNab-Braeside and Douglas volunteer fire departments. All these first responders will be trading in their uniforms for aprons and barbecuing ribs in the second annual Renfrew Rib Challenge. It all takes place at the land ambulance base at 450 O’Brien Rd. from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. In addition to the ribs, there will also be hamburgers, hot dogs and other food items for sale. All proceeds will go to purchase defibrillators to be placed in various community locations in the County of Renfrew. Once again, Tracey’s Dairy will be on site to hand out free samples of their ice cream and there will also be a large Kidz Zone administered by the Child’s Paradise Day Care Centre. Along with the many activi-
As barbecue season approaches, see who walks away with bragging rights and the trophy for best ribs. ties taking place, children will be able to explore ambulances, fire trucks, police cars and other emergency vehicles. Music will be provided by myFM Radio. County Warden Bob Sweet invites everyone to come join the fun. “Last year, the response was incredible. We sold out of ribs in one hour, and this year we plan on doubling the amount of food. More importantly, this event has expanded to include neighbouring first responders who wanted to join in the fun and showcase their respective services.” With eight teams competing, there will be plenty to see and do. There will be entertainment, and thr competition also helps raise funds for local AEDs. The devices can make the difference between life and death for someone suffering from cardiac arrest and have helped save lives in Renfrew County. The family event is open to the general public, and everyone will have an opportunity to tour the land ambulance base and see how paramedics and other local first responders serve their community.
Scenes of Arnprior and area are displayed on Andrea Gerolin’s greeting cards at the Carp Easter Market. Gerolin’s Willow Ridge Crafts will be one of four new vendors at the Carp Farmers’ Market this year. The Arnprior fine arts graduate is an artist who uses the camera to create images expressing her love of nature and animals. “I take pictures of anything that I think looks neat,” she said. Those images end up on unique, local greeting cards. Photos by John Carter 314 ROBERTSON LINE, RR3 ARNPRIOR
Ginger Regan of Braeside and the Easter bunny show off their treats at the Carp Easter Market Saturday. Ginger’s Sweets & Treats is one of four new Carp Farmers’ Market vendors who will be regularly at the market when if officially opens May 7. Ginger has been making trays of cookies, fritters, squares, quick breads and cinnamon buns for sale since Christmas at her Braeside home. She also sells her treats at Robbins Confectionery in Braeside and at Diller’s Chips in Renfrew.

Applications are being accepted for the 2011 Rural Ramble until May 2. The annual event showcases the unique aspects of rural living in the Ottawa Valley. The four themed weekends are Adventure & Exploration (Sept. 10-11), Agriculture & Food (Sept. 17-18), History & Heritage (Sept. 24-25) and Arts & Culture (Oct. 12). Organized by the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA), the Rural Ramble is an annual selfguided driving tour that takes visitors through agricultural and rural operations of the scenic Ottawa Valley. “The Rural Ramble is a great way to show your Valley pride and celebrate rural living,” explains OVTA’s Lauren McIllfaterick. “It’s also a great opportunity to raise awareness of your business, educate the public about your industry and share your knowledge with generations to come.” New to the 2011 Rural Ramble is the introduction of the Rural Rambler’s Choice Award. A Rural Ramble ‘passport’ will be provided to participants with which to keep track of the sites they visit over the four weekends.
Write on: we love receiving letters to the editor
Ramblers will be asked to drop off their passport at the last site they visit. The passport will include a spot for Ramblers to vote for their favourite site each weekend. The site with the most votes will be voted the number one site for that particular weekend. The Rural Rambler’s Choice award winners will be featured in the 2012 Rural Ramble guide, on the 2012 Rural Ramble poster and all other promotional materials. A number of local sponsors and partners have come forward to support the event, including the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, myFM Radio, KI Pembroke and the Madawaska Valley Studio Tour.” The deadline for site applications is Monday, May 2. Those interested in becoming a site host for the Rural Ramble, or an event sponsor, are encouraged to contact McIllfaterick at 613-732-4364 or email lmcillfaterick@countyofrenfrew.on.ca.

The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it everyday, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, and there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same. Love Uncle Ron, Aunt Tammy, Jamie & Mallory
Dwayne Schnob April 29, 2010 Hard to believe a year has passed Since the last time that we shared a laugh Missing you more with each passing day Missing you more than words can say
Even though I never met you, We talk about you all the time. And I know you are watching over us. Emmett
Remembering words of wisdom you once taught From you, my father I’ve learned so much Would trade everything for one more night I’d spend it with you ‘til morning light
A booklet of commemorative verses is available at this newspaper. We sincerely hope it will prove to be of service to readers who are desirous of selecting a suitable verse for their In Memoriam.
In time of need you were always there You always helped, you always cared I know eventually I’ll see you again My father, my idol, my greatest friend
Loving you always Dad, Jeremy & Jesse

IN MEMORIAM
Job Title: Mailroom – Flyer Inserter – Casual Part-time – Late Shift
The Voice of the Wind When the warm breeze of April caresses you part of it will be me. When you look into the eyes of my children part of them will be me. When a snowflake of winter plants a kiss on your cheek that kiss might well have been me. And the dust which appears out of nowhere may be part of the dust that was me. Through the promise of morning and the voice of the wind I will always have something to say. To reflect on those wonderful moments and warm you as you make your way. All things that we both were a part of will continue to brighten each day. Making room for the sound of your laughter by remembering I’m not far away.

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of Dwayne Walter Joseph Schnob “Duke” February 27, 1964 - April 29, 2010
A year ago, our world was changed, Never again to be the same, With broken hearts a part of us went with you Duke. We live each day with so much heartache, Not able to see your smiling face, Or hear your voice again, And the way you lightened up a room when you walked in. Those things are gone, but you will always live on in our hearts, And in our memories. Many tears have been shed and many more to come, Because you were so loved. You are so missed in our lives. You were a Good and Loving son, A devoted Father, a loyal Brother, A cherished Uncle and a Best Friend anyone would ever want. These are just a few words to describe the kind of man you were. You will always be “Forever Young” “God Bless” Love you Always “Duker” Mom & Dad, Sons Jeremy & Jesse Rene, Guylaine & Family Lee Ann, Rich, & Family

Tackling the tricky question of karst and development LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com
Karst may be an uncommon word, but it’s a common topography in Renfrew County. Now Renfrew County officials are making a concerted effort to inform municipal councils of its presence and potential impact on planning. Karst, which is common in parts of McNab-Braeside, is basically a form of unstable limestone bedrock that is a specific hazard to construction. It presents two threats to the public: structural building damage and contamination of groundwater reserves from septic effluent. An extreme example would be sink holes. The Beachburg area is particularly noted for its karst topography, and Councillor Joey Trimm noted the township is actually home to the largest underwater network of caves in Canada. “Karst topography presents some challenges for development, and this mapping is very important,” county planner Charles Cheesman told Whitewater council during a recent presentation. “The provincial policy statement says development should be directed away from a hazardous site and hazardous site include areas of karst topography,” he said. The provincial direction seemed to end
there. “The problem that we face is, we received mapping from the Ontario Geological Survey but they didn’t advise us as to how we handle development or planning applications when we come across this type of topography,” Cheesman said. So the county prepared a protocol, which was adopted by Whitewater council later in the meeting. The same March 8 report and mapping was received by Admaston-Bromley council at its April meeting. As Cheesman told the Whitewater council, “we wanted to find a way where people applying for severances, before they had to go right on to the (geotechnical) study, there was some intermediate phase.” The first step, said Cheesman, will be to determine whether there is a natural overburden of soil. If there is more than one metre of overburden then development may proceed without too much further work, Cheesman said. If there is less than one metre, the homeowner will be asked to do a scoped, limited geotechnical study consistent with the scale of what is being proposed. Cheesman said the county protocol was crafted internally because it could take “years” to work the changes into a municipal Official Plan. Cheesman invited anyone with questions to contact the county planning office to see where he or she stands.
Better cancer care, closer to home, when you need it ongoing monitoring and care. If at any time patients have questions or concerns about symptoms or their plan of care, they’ll be rapidly assessed by their oncologist at our cancer centre. Family physicians, too, will have the chance to consult oncologists when necessary. Some patients don’t have family doctors. We’ll now flag patients who are admitted to our program without a family doctor, and work to link them to a family doctor.
Nicolas Ruszkowski Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital Paula Doering - Senior Vice President, Clinical Programs, and Regional Vice-President, Cancer Care Ontario
I haven’t been a “hospital insider” long. When I joined the hospital in 2008, my health care learning curve was steep, and I was lucky to benefit from the help of many leaders. Among those I relied on most is Paula Doering, our Senior Vice President, Clinical Programs, and Regional Vice-President, Cancer Care Ontario. Paula is leading the transformation of our Cancer Program. Today, she’s your columnist, telling you what you need to know about the project. We’re enhancing the quality of cancer services in all parts of our region by adopting a new way to provide cancer care to patients who have completed their active treatment. Until now, patients were followed for many years by their oncologist(s) – either at The Ottawa Hospital or in one of our regional cancer clinics. Today, in keeping with best practices in other international and provincial cancer programs, patients will be referred back to their family doctors, when appropriate. We’ll provide patients and their family doctor with recommendations for their
What does this mean for patients or their families? The new strategy ensures that follow-up is provided through the family doctor who knows them best, while newly diagnosed patients benefit from faster access to oncologists, at the time of diagnosis and during active treatment. Our oncologists will still be front and centre in the follow-up care patients receive. We are developing tools to actively support patients and family doctors. This includes providing survivorship care plans that summarize the cancer care received and document the plan for follow-up care. It means strengthening partnerships and links with the community resources best positioned to meet the diverse needs of cancer survivors. Finally, it means improved access to quality cancer care across our region. Not only will we continue providing world class care in our cancer centres and clinics. We will also expand the use of telemedicine. No matter where they reside, patients will have access to the same high standard of care thanks to easy remote access to The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Program. We’re listening to our patients, and working towards better care, closer to home, when they need it. 464439

LIBRARY HOSTS ART SALE Arnprior chief librarian Karen DeLuca brought together 16 artists for an exhibit and sale on Saturday, April 16, including Susan Lamendeau of Stewartville.

Other artists showing works were Colette Stack, Tracey Rossol, Helen Holmes, Connie Richard, Jim Lowell, Helen Golding, Liz Barnes, Laurie Dechert, Curtis Barr, Lindsey Gibeau, Paul Perreault, Josie Walsh, Barb Smith, Joyce McCartney and Anne Stewart.

On April 13, the Nick Smith Centre was packed with ladies of all ages, plus two men (Greg Murdoch and Mayor Reid), wanting to see some great spring clothes while supporting a local charity. The evening was a great success. Over 50 silent auction items were donated by local businesses with item ranging from hair products, to oil changes, and recognizing our rural roots, septic system pumping.
Members of the community and local business helped with the success of this event. All desserts and drinks were donated by local restaurants and bakeries; Our Place in the Prior, Valley Roots, Sweet & Sassy, Bonnie Jane’s Scones and Tim Horton’s. Tracy from Mel’s Flowers outdid herself with decorating the run way and Sarah from Prior Engagements provided all the linens and dishes. The Nick Smith Centre provided a great venue with terrific staff. This staff worked hard, especially when extra chairs had to be added to accommodate the 250 women who attended the event. Audrey Jamieson (left) prepares to lead the models to the runway.
Audrey Jamieson and her team must also be commended for all the hard work put forth leading up to this event. Not only did Audrey tirelessly secure 90 percent of the auction items, she also dressed all the models in five outfits each, and emceed the entire evening. The entertainment for the evening was a hit. The Prior Chestnuts sang a funny song that contained a serious message about getting a physical. Darlene Thibault, a well known valley singer and the Activity Coordinator at the Grove hit the stage to sing one of her songs. Working the DJ booth was Dan Nicholas who did a fantastic job. We must also thank all the models for volunteering their time: Catherine (Bahm) Matheson, Erin McCormick, Darlene Thibault, Jane Decher, Laurie Hebert, Leah Levesque, Vicki Murdoch, Lynn Grinstead, Patti McLean, Roxanne Barr, Greg Murdoch and Lauren Reid. We would also like to thank the dressers who helped the models and everyone else who provided assistance behind the scenes.

Special recognition was given to two Arnprior area farmers at the Eastern Breeders ďŹ nal annual meeting recently in Kemptville. William Carss, representing Sandy Crest Holsteins of Arnprior, accepted recognition and congratulations for his earning of the prestigious Master Breed-
er Shield. Gerald and Hugh Hunter, of Maple-Ain Holsteins of Smiths Falls, received the same commendation from the Eastern Breeders board members. John Straathof of the Arnprior area, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zone 7 (Lanark-Renfrew) representative, was also thanked for his services. He is one of three directors leaving the board this year.
Also recognized for their contributions were departing directors Bruce Hill of Nepean, the Zone 6 (Carleton-Russell) representative, and past resident Brian Wilson of New Brunswick. Eastern Breeders, which is been in existence since 1947, is amalgamating with Gencor. The merger of the artiďŹ cial insemination company with its partner ďŹ rm goes into effect July 1.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted this day to be a celebration and tribute to who we have been, who we represent, who we are and what we will be bringing to the East-Gen table,â&#x20AC;? said Eastern Breeders general manager Ann Louise Carson. Eastern Breeders president John deVries said the new company will focus on core business and a more aggressive marketing approach for members.
