Tickets irk moviegoers Theatre owner wants changes to parking rules Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
The curtains nearly went down for good on a historic business in town that dates back to the turn of the last century. Technological innovation clashes with folksy charm in this blockbuster. – Page 5

EMC news – An O’Brien Theatre petition related to parking has collected more than 200 signatures and the number is climbing. For almost a month now, owner Kevin Marshall has kept a sign in his window and petition in his lobby asking traffic bylaw agents to stop handing out $20 tickets to his customers. He said many movies run past the two-hour allotment time; when folks leave the building they find a ticket under the windshield. During evening showings, O’Brien Theatre and sometimes Exciters night club are the only businesses open. There is plenty of room to park, meaning the essential role of ticketing – to open spots for other vehicles – could be deemed unnecessary. Marshall took his complaint to town hall, but was unimpressed with the solution offered. He was told to have his customers park in the municipal lot, at the back of Shoppers, and make movie-goers walk down a dark one-way alley with no sidewalk. “That was their response when I brought it to them,� he said. “I’m so insulted by that.� Often his summer matinee customers will buy tickets well in advance then shop the downtown core before the film starts. They, too, run the risk of a ticket despite doing what town councillors and most others want – to spend locally. Marshall said he agrees some enforcement is needed. Vehicles can’t be parked in prime spots along John and Elgin streets all day every day. But to ticket people who are spending money at his business is costing him and other business owners, he said. “People can just go to Kanata where there are parking lots,� he said. Reeve Walter Stack wasn’t aware of the campaign to stop issuing parking tickets outside the historic theatre. But council is in the midst of updating all traffic-related bylaws and expects this specific issue to be corrected. “I think Kevin has a legitimate concern there, and I’m sure it’ll be addressed,� Stack said. Stack said the town removed parking meters in an attempt to lure more shoppers downtown. To start ticketing them is counterproductive, according to Stack. See PARKING, Page 4

Arnprior Terry Fox Run saviour found John Carter John.carter@metroland.com
EMC news – The dream is alive. There will be a 32nd Arnprior Terry Fox Run this year. Long-time co-ordinator Rita Cloutier was delighted to disclose last Friday that a successor has come forward to ensure the run will be held Sept. 16. “We can’t let it die ‌ I knew we just had to keep Rita’s vision alive,â€? said local businessman Stephen Dodd, who has volunteered to organize the run this year. “Rita started it. We must maintain it. It wouldn’t do for Arnprior not to have a Terry Fox Run.â€? “I’m absolutely thrilled,â€? said Cloutier, the feisty cancer survivor who has organized the run every year since it was first held to honour cross-country runner Terry Fox a year after his death. Cloutier has been a cancer survivor for 37 years, longer than the run itself and is likely the longest-
serving Terry Fox Run co-ordinator in the province. After stepping forward last week after reading in the Chronicle Guide EMC that the run was in danger of folding because Cloutier was stepping down for health reasons, Dodd has been making up for lost time. “It’s unbelievable how much he has done considering the late start,� said Cloutier. Fortunately, Dodd has plenty of contacts in town. The Investors Group agent, who grew up in Arnprior and is a graduate of Arnprior District High School, remembers taking part in Arnprior Terry Fox Runs when he was a student in the 1980s. As is the case with most people, Dodd’s family has been affected by cancer. So he is motivated to keep the run alive. It took three calls, but he finally was able to contact the Terry Fox Foundation and get accepted as a run facilitator. See RUN, Page 3

Run to be held at Fairgrounds again Continued from front
EMC news – There has been another potentially dangerous fire in the area of Gillies Grove. That makes four fires reported in the area of the Grove near Galilee in the past two months. The fires are non-accidental in nature and the Arnprior OPP is working closely with the Arnprior Fire Department and the community to identify suspects. It has been a very dry summer and these fires can quickly become out of control, warn police. “Should anyone observe a fire, please report it immediately by calling 911.�

“I have big shoes to fill,â€? Dodd said, noting Cloutier has done an amazing job in running the event for 31 straight years. He noted that at least two other people have stepped forward to help keep the run alive, but they prefer to stay in the background. Dodd has already contacted the Arnprior Agricultural Society to arrange to have the Terry Fox Run held at the Fairgrounds. “I don’t want to make any major changes ‌ it will be held at the Fairgrounds as usual,â€? he said. He held a meeting of volunteers Monday to help plan and promote the run and he has asked town council to make its traditional Terry Fox Run proclamation. It looks promising, Dodd said, noting the event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will include a charity barbecue. The local running club formed to get ready for the Unity Run in October will be out in force Sept. 16, holding a practice run in conjunction with the Terry Fox event. The business community is climbing on board, with his M&M Meats already collecting donations, he said. “There will be pledge forms throughout town in the next few days ‌ look for them and fill them out,â€? he urged. Dodd said he will also ask Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce members and local large corporations for support. More volunteers are needed, he added. Anyone interested in helping can call him at 613-622-5479 or by email at Stephen. dodd@investorsgroup.com. But most of all, “we’re looking for walkers and runners to come out on the 16th,â€? he said. “We need participants.â€? “Participation, that’s the big thing,â€? agreed Cloutier.

Local firm awarded tender for new fire truck Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
EMC news – Arnprior Council has agreed to pay $13,375 more than it needs to for a fire truck. Councillor supported a staff report by Chief John Okum Aug. 27 to not go with the lowest tender to replace a 1977 pumper truck. All six bidders came in over the budgeted $150,000. But it was the
second lowest bidder, at $179,000, that impressed Okum most. It came from Arnprior Fire Trucks Corp. “They are offering the exact design and construction requirements as specified in the tender documents,” his report reads. “It is also staff’s opinion that Arnprior Fire Trucks Corp. is also providing greater value to the town.” Okum pointed out that planning input was received from the depart-
ment’s firefighters during the design stage. This truck is designed to carry specialty equipment, firefighting tools and will be equipped with a compressed air foam system used to help with fire suppression, he explained. The ‘apparatus’ will also serve as a command vehicle and will respond to a majority of Arnprior emergency responses, he noted. “Having a quality fire apparatus
built and maintained locally will also benefit the Town during future fire apparatus servicing needs, minimizing out-of-service time and costs,” he said. Okum added that Arnprior Fire Trucks Corp. offers a 15-year warranty on the truck body and subframe, while offering a paint finish warranty of 10 years. The lowest bidder, a company from Quebec, offered a 10-year warranty on the ap-
Parking, four-way stops signs discussed by council Continued from front
Stack wants Arnprior to maintain a certain small town feel where issues are dealt with through common sense, not always with heavy-handed tactics such as issuing fines. He floated the idea of upping the time from two hours to four as a possible solution. People are beginning to complain more about parking tickets lately. Recent letters to the editor and Facebook postings with dozens of comments have surfaced over the last couple of weeks. OTTAWA STREET RULES
Even though a new school season is underway, Arnprior council and staff continue to discuss possible changes that would affect hundreds of commuters near a cluster of schools. One change that seems certain has to do with no-parking signs. They will be changed to 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is meant to account for earlier starts are schools like St. Joseph’s and Walter Zadow. Another likely change is to make it illegal
to drop off a passenger while heading eastbound. Coun. Dan Lynch, chair of the traffic bylaw committee investigating the changes, says it is too dangerous to be letting students off only to have them cross the busy street. Most councillors seem to favour a ban on parking along John and Ottawa streets, along with John and Harrington streets. But the question is whether drivers can even stop or “stand” along those stretches. Mayor David Reid said there is a difference in activity along Ottawa Street. From John to Bell, he said there should be no parking; from Bell to Harriet there should be no stopping unless it is to let off a toddler or handicapped person. He added that the town is flexible when it comes to church parking, particularly during a funeral and that the same principles should guide bylaw agents when it comes to schools. THREE-WAY STOP
Another traffic issue has to do with the town’s intention to convert three-way stop signs along William Street to two- or four-
way, now that the railway tracks are gone. Pat Grenier approached council at the Aug. 27 meeting to ask that the status quo remain, at least at the John and William streets intersection. The trains left two years ago and little has gone wrong, he said. “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it,” he said. He was told six accidents in the last five years have occurred at the intersection. There is a major apartment complex blocking view. And experts recommend moving away from three-way stops. Reid agreed with staff. “I am supporting the staff recommendation,” he told Grenier. Agreeing, Stack said he’s seen many-adriver hesitate at the three-way, not knowing how to respond. Bylaw enforcement has asked council to approve a four-hour time limit at the municipal parking lot behind Shoppers. Most councillors disagreed, saying the lot is rarely full and that business owners who park there rather than in front of their stores would be upset. “I think we are making a problem out of one that doesn’t exist,” Stack said.
paratus body and seven on paint. Councillors agreed that downtime due to the need for repairs would be less if a local company were doing the work. But the capper was that the Arnprior Firefighters Fund Raising Association offered a $30,000 grant to cover the remaining costs. Council thanked the volunteer firefighters for their generous offer. Arnprior Fire Trucks won the contract.
Streetscape session Sept. 17 EMC news – With Arnprior council almost ready to move ahead with its downtown streetscape plan, the public is being asked to share its views on the issue. A public open house to unveil the streetscapelandscape design plans for the downtown area will be held Monday, Sept. 17 in the Arnprior Public Library. The open house will run from 6 to 8 p.m., with a presentation set for 7 p.m. The public is encouraged to review and comment on the initial design concepts for the redevelopment of the streetscape in the study area. Members of town staff and the consulting team, MMM Group Ltd., will be available to explain the process and the conclusions made in the streetscape plan. MMM’s Jonathan Loschmann is the project manager. The study area includes John Street North from William to Madawaska streets and Elgin Street West from Daniel to Madawaska streets. The design plan also includes consideration of the sidewalk frontage of properties abutting John and Elgin streets in the project area. Upgrading of such items as landscaping, lighting, street greenery, site amenities, benches, parking, and the street lanes themselves is under consideration.

O’Brien Theatre’s sequel to feature upgrades Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
EMC news – It’s not a pretty picture at the O’Brien Theatre. The historic movie theatre in Arnprior’s downtown core – a supreme example of the old time movie houses, once a ďŹ xture in small towns across North America – narrowly missed shutting down recently. But thanks to owner Kevin Marshall, who remains ambivalent about the intense ďŹ nancial decisions he had to make, the O’Brien will continue to reel in ďŹ lm lovers. Except, that is, the reels and ďŹ lm technology that were the bones of the industry for the last century won’t be part of the theatre’s future. The 60 year-old-projectors spinning 35-mm ďŹ lm will hit the trash can; replaced by digital. Marshall closed shop Monday for nine days to begin a series of upgrades at the two-screen location that, in the end, will cost him some $120,000. “I didn’t have any choice,â€? Marshall said, sitting in the empty main oor theatre Tuesday afternoon. “I’d end up going bankrupt if I didn’t.â€? He mortgaged the house, the theatre, got a government-backed loan – at higher interest rates than banks offer – all in a bid to save a business that is something of a tourist attraction for the town. (Real estate agents promote the town to outside clients as having a historic theatre.) Beginning with 20th Century Fox, the major distribution companies will drop use of 35-mm ďŹ lm and expect to save tens of millions of dollars per movie release. “That (savings) does not trickle down to me,â€? Marshall said. Within the next year or so I think you’ll ďŹ nd that all the major distributors will have stopped
using 35-mm. You just won’t get the movies.â€? Along with bringing in digital equipment, the theatre will enjoy an upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1 Adobe surround sound, a fresh coat of paint and other work Marshall has looked forward to since purchasing the building in 1999. He looks forward to an automated system, which means he can afford to spend more time at the storefront and less setting up the movies. Still, the trade-off is a risky one. With the old projectors, most problems could be solved with a wrench and elbow grease. The new computer system will require a technician from Ottawa. And then there’s the issue of lifespan. Computers last about 10 years? “That’s it. And I won’t be doing this again 10 years from now.â€? That’s when he fears the second wave of small town theatre closures will hit. Right now some locations, like Smiths Falls, closed because they weren’t able to convert to digital. Others in Carleton Place, Mattawa, Pembroke and elsewhere could ďŹ nd themselves facing difďŹ culty in both the near and distant future. It’s not unfolding like Marshall, who loves the movie side more than the business side, had hoped when he opened doors 13 years ago after an 11-month renovation. “I was terriďŹ ed no one would show up. I was terriďŹ ed anyone would show up!â€? Operating under the name O’Brien since at least 1920, the building may have been home to vaudeville shows as early as 1906. Marshall intends to pursue the history a little closer in the coming months. With its distinctive colours, arches in the main lobby, the little ticket booth that accepts cash only, the O’Brien is a treat for anyone who is used to giant parking lots, automated ticket dispensers, and videogames blaring along many walls.
DEREK DUNN/METROLAND
O’Brien Theatre owner Kevin Marshall says goodbye to the old 35mm projector he’s used since taking over the Arnprior business some 13 years ago. He’s taking a financial risk, but says digital is the way of the future in his industry. Marshall’s received a lot of media attention over what amounts to a decision with little tangible effect on the public. TV crews and multiple newspaper interviews, primarily from Ottawa, seem to hold a small obsession with Marshall’s ďŹ nancial difďŹ culties. But the attention seems to fulďŹ ll something of a stereotype for the large outlets. A longstanding, independently owned and operated business in the heart of a Valley town; a rural
M&R
entrepreneur with a passion for his business up against the faceless suburban multiplexes; an era long past that is unearthed for city people who believed all the magic and charm of movie-going was gone. Charm doesn’t always pay the bills, but Marshall’s more conďŹ dent than not that he can pull off a Hollywood ending. “I’m glad that we did it,â€? he said. “I still enjoy coming into this building.

EMC news – The Country of Renfrew has been unable to negotiate a propertyacquisition settlement, which would have paved the way to widening and other reconstruction of a one-kilometre section of Flat Rapids Road. However, county council unanimously voted Aug. 29 to proceed with a modified contract for that section of Flat Rapids Road. Work began two years ago on Flat Rapids Road, with the stretch between Russett Drive and Mill Ridge Road reconstructed in the first year. Last year, the work was move past the Mill Ridge Road intersection. This fall, another 300 metres toward Watts Line will undergo reconstruction, but the next one-kilometre stretch to Watts Line will not be reconstruction, but instead be redone in a pulverize-and-pave process. Reconstruction over that stretch is not possible at this time because of the unsuccessful negotiations with a landowner, explained Dave Darch, the county’s public
works director. “Despite several meetings and discussions with one owner, staff was unable to acquire road-widening property from a key large tract of land,� states a Renfrew County operations committee summary report. “In addition, the utility companies were unable to secure the requirement easements for their utilities from this landowner. Without the property and the utility relocations, it is not possible to build the section of the road that was budgeted for this year as planned.� MAYOR IRKED
The road is located in McNab-Braeside, whose mayor said that two parties can play hardball. Clearly irritated by the landowner’s attitude, Mayor Mary Campbell said sometimes the message needs to be sent that if “you don’t play, we don’t play. Alluding to the county’s ability to expropriate the land, she added: “Then we can play hard ball at a future date if it’s required.� Meanwhile, Darch says the pulverize-and-pave work should do the

road well for 10 to 15 years. Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack said he supported the county’s decision, but also predicted that the county will play a stronger move in the future. “I’m saying we’ll acquire that (required) property,� he predicted. “We will expropriate that property, if we can’t come to an agreement,� said an emphatic Stack, who chairs the operations committee. “We have had negotiations that have gone nowhere.� Another one-kilometre stretch of Flat Rapids, from Watts Line to the Stewartville intersection, will be the object of a redesign, in 2013. Director Darch says Flat Rapids Road is a fairly busy road, but not high volume. But it has received more than its usual share of traffic during recent expansion work on Highway 417, from those seeking a shortcut to Burnstown or Calabogie. To ensure that work on 1.3 kilometres of Flat Rapids Roads is completed this fall, county council has voted for the road contract to be delegated at the authority of CAO Jim Hutton.

County applies for road, sign infrastructure funds Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com
EMC news - There’s not a lot of money in the federal Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund announced earlier this summer. But the County of Renfrew has made two applications to the new CIIF, including one application that features three separate road projects. That application even includes two projects that were recently completed, Bruce Street at the northeast edge of Renfrew and Drive-In Road in Laurentian Valley Township. Both projects were completed at a total cost of $370,200 for rehabilitation work and hardening of the roadway shoulders. The respective lengths of those projects were 2.5 and 1.5 kilometres. The other third of that priority application is a 2.5-km stretch of White Lake Road, or County Road 2, that will be done this fall, with or without CIIF support. The estimated total of the three projects is $1,230,000. The CIIF program stipulates that priority is given to projects for which municipalities request just one-third funding, but municipalities can request 50-50 funding. The county is seeking
one-third of the estimated costs, or $409,600. Renfrew County public works director David Darch acknowledges that Ontario’s portion of the program, which covers $49.6 million over two years, isn’t a lot of money for the province’s municipalities to access. But he stressed that there’s nothing to lose by applying. The county’s second application is for 50-50 funding of $56,000 in road signs. Some signs would be for trails, while the other two-thirds would be for road-information signs. With an estimated two signs every five kilometres, that would represent about 160 signs for the county’s 800-km. network of roads, said Darch. The second application was made, according to operations committee notes, because “there is an increasing need to educate the public regarding share usage of our infrastructure facilities. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to erect Share the Road/Trail signage on our existing facilities.� County council unanimously passed the resolution at its Aug. 29 meeting. The resolution called for the warden and clerk to execute the two applications prior to the Aug. 24 deadline. Road work receiving CIIF dollars must be completed by the spring of 2014.

EMC news - Bonnechere Manor administrator Shayne Hoelke has lost three key employees to jobs outside the community. But he’s optimistic about the opportunities gained by the departed employees and their successors. “It’s business as usual,� said Hoelke, who has recently filled three key positions at the Renfrew long-term care facility. “Sometimes people find other opportunities. As an administrator, I’m always encouraging people to work to their highest capability.�
Cayla McNulty, the former part-time assistant food services supervisor for Miramichi Lodge in Pembroke and the manor, is now the full-time food services supervisor at Bonnechere Manor. Another employee, Patty Brydges, who has worked as a registered nurse at Bonnechere for more than 30 years, is filling the acting position of resident care co-ordinator. She succeeds Joan Hughes who has a new job in Ottawa. A third position is also being filled after part-time community relations co-ordinator Robyn Arseneau assumed a fulltime post in community relations with the Carleton Place Hospital.

Students are ones caught in labour battle crossfire
P
lease, won’t someone think of the children? The cash-strapped Ontario government and several of the province’s teachers unions are embroiled in a battle over proposed legislation to force a wage freeze on elementary and high school teachers.
The teachers are simply trying to preserve their collective bargaining rights. But the kids are getting caught in the middle. Both the government and the teachers say they are fighting for students’ education. We beg to differ. If teachers individually choose not to volunteer after school, that could mean fewer
extra-curricular activities available for students. Premier McGuinty, for his part, should keep in mind that teachers freely volunteer their time to provide extracurricular activities for students. The dispute almost seems a little silly, as both sides have agreed a wage freeze is neces-
sary, at least for the short-term. Instead of ironing out a deal, it seems both sides have engaged in a little game of Russian roulette, to the potential detriment of students. Both sides need to abandon their public posturing, and focus instead on working out a deal that addresses each other’s concerns.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Cruel to let groundhog die in a trap To the editor: During our morning walks along the west end of Staye Court Drive, we noticed a live trap had been placed adjacent to a hydro pole. On Monday morning (Sept. 2), we saw that a groundhog had been trapped. It being an extremely hot day, we were very concerned that the animal would suffer and tried to contact the animal control officer. There being no answer, we left a message indicating that it was an emergency but we received no response. We then contacted the OPP who were very helpful and sent an officer to check out the trap. Unfortunately we found the groundhog had expired. We wish now that we had checked this trap on Sunday, another very hot day, as this animal had probably been left in the full sun all day until it died of heat exposure.
One wonders what sort of people would set a trap and leave an animal to suffer in such an inhumane manner. They should be utterly ashamed of themselves for letting the animal suffer in this fashion. If they have the energy and time to set the trap, they should at the very least have the decency to check it each morning. We realize that setting a live trap is not a criminal offence, but cruelty to an animal is, and this was extreme cruelty. Regretfully the chances of being prosecuted are very slim. I’ve no doubt that the people who set this trap feel no remorse for their action, but hopefully this letter will remind them that some people do care. Mick, Carol Taylor Arnprior
Dragon boat fun day enjoyable, informative To the editor: A copy of a letter sent to Arnprior Mayor David Reid. The atmosphere was a perfect blend of excitement, enthusiasm and anticipation. Our Dragon Boat Fun Day on Sunday, August 26 proved to be not only a most successful event, but a real Dragon Boat promotional campaign, which supported the fact that dragon boating is, without a doubt, the fastest growing team sport in the world, second only to soccer. The Dragon Boat Fun Day experience could not have achieved its overall success without the hard work and dedication of many. The Arnprior Dragon Boat Club, and the ‘Draggin Behinds’ Dragon Boat Team wish to acknowledge the following: the fun-loving and adventuresome participants, some who tried dragon boating for the very first time and demonstrated real team-spirit; Glenn Arthur, director of recreational services who facilitated our requests for assistance with patience and understanding and in a most professional manner; Jay Koch and his team of Kathleen and Jessica Griffith who provided lifeguard supervision; and the Arnprior Volunteer Fire Department
who operated the safety boat and Sea Doo, and escorted our dragon boat throughout the day on the Madawaska and Ottawa rivers - thank you so much Stephen Styles, Stephen Leung, Nevin Young, Kevin Pierce, Martin Stockton, and Rod Vallier for your professional and competent services. I should also mention Mayor Reid that the lifeguard and safety boat support that your team provided only heightened our Town’s commitment to promoting water and boat safety on our waterways in and around the area. And, we express our gratitude to East Side Mario’s for their contribution of a gift certificate for a dinner for two at their Arnprior location, and for being our sponsor this season. What a wonderful group. In conclusion, on behalf of the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club, we thank you, Mayor Reid, and your team for helping make our Dragon Boat Fun Day in Arnprior an overwhelming success and a most positive experience for our community at large. Darrel O’Shaughnessy, president Arnprior Dragon Boat Club

Legislature’s recall all about by-elections
MPP John Yakabuski Message from Queen’s Park
Governments at both levels will not be able to ignore the results. My office continues to receive information updates from our agricultural community and we forward those onto the minister’s office. The Legislature resumed sitting on Aug. 27. The reason given by Premier McGuinty for recalling parliament earlier than scheduled was to deal with legislation affecting school teachers and their expiring collective agreements. As it turns out, and this
should surprise no one, it was more about political games and the Liberals fortunes in the upcoming byelections in Kitchener-Waterloo and Vaughan. Given that the legislation will not pass into law before the week of Sept. 10, McGuinty’s claim that he had to have this legislation in place before the agreements expired on Aug. 31 was simply false. He manufactured this crisis so that he could appear to be fiscally responsible to the voters, going to the polls on Sept. 6 in the by-elections. If he wins both by-elections that would effectively give the Liberals a de-facto majority in the legislature, something he dearly covets. While it is not ideal we in the PC caucus are supporting the legislation. We are also pressing for restraint measures to be applied to all public sector workers not just teachers. Because I keep getting asked about my own wages, I can say that MPPs had their pay frozen in 2008. A public sector wage freeze, for two years would
save the treasury $4 billion. This would not eliminate the deficit, currently at $15 billion, but it would make it clear that we are serious about turning this around and getting Ontario pointed in the right direction. RIDING NAME CHANGE
Last week the Federal Boundaries Commission released its draft of proposed changes in Canada’s electoral map. This would result in 15 new seats in Ontario. With the province likely to adopt the same changes, I have concerns. While the riding of Renfrew-NipissingPembroke would not change, except in name, becoming Renfrew-Pembroke, it’s the other changes that trouble me. With 15 new ridings created because of urban population growth, the voice of rural Ontario will continue to be drowned out. As one of those rural voices, I will continue to do my utmost to make it heard.

In my last column, I wrote about the drought conditions here in Renfrew County. While we have had some rain since that time, it has been as they say, too little and too late to significantly improve the conditions on the land. It has allowed beef farmers to at least have their herds pasturing for some of their food. Nonetheless, the pressure in cow-calf operations remains great. The yields in cash crops are going to be meager as well. Both the provincial and federal governments have come up with ideas for possible relief, but as always, it remains to be seen how effective those measures will be. I have had the opportunity to talk to a number of farmers and it is fair to say that while all of them have been negatively impacted by the drought depending upon their location and type of operation, the severity of the impact varies to some degree. As harvest takes place, this impact will be more accurately determined on an individual basis.

Environment must be protected for all our sakes To the editor: Re ‘It may be wildlife, not dogs’ submission to editor by Lenore Whelan (Chronicle Guide EMC, Aug. 23). Thank you for your response to my letter, and for your interest in the state of our local environment. It seems, though, that we are referring to different things and different areas. I live on MacDonald Street, and ‘Co-co’ and I walk only in our own neighbourhood. Your alternative suggestions would not apply and I stick to my original observations. Our concerns, of course, should be for areas far beyond our own locale. Indeed we are seriously endangering the health of our whole planet, its land, water and atmosphere through our
unbridled littering/pollution. Many species are threatened with extinction because of what we are doing, or failing to do. Ultimately we can put our own existence at risk. The historical record is papered with the sagas of human civilizations that developed where conditions were favourable only to decline and die through overuse/abuse of their environment. We must learn from history and take serious, positive, timely steps to preserve the environment before we seal the fate of our descendants.

Conservatives putting children’s health at risk with trans fats This is completely wrong-headed. Trans fats must be removed from the food system. This will not only improve health, it will also relieve the strain on our Medicare system, saving taxpayers as much as $9 billion on health care over the next two decades.

to recognize these risks: back in 2007 it called for the food industry to voluntarily limit the trans fat content of vegetable oils and soft spreadable margarines to two per cent of the total fat content and to five per cent for all other foods. They promised to regulate the industry if these limits were not met in two years. That two-year limit expired in 2009. Not only have the Conservatives reneged on their plan to impose regulations to protect Canadians and their children from trans fats, they are also cancelling the trans fat monitoring program.

EMC news - A week after reporting that a Renfrew area resident was scammed out of $4,000 by a fake bank manager, the OPP has issued a news release saying it is receiving many reports of financial scams targeting seniors and other vulnerable people across the province. In one common scam, individuals claiming to be investigators from one of Canada’s chartered banks convince victims to withdraw funds for use as evidence to assist with a bogus theft investigation involving bank personnel, explain the OPP. After the money is withdrawn and handed to the phoney bank inspector, the victim is told to go home and wait for a call confirming the money has been re-deposited in their account. Unfortunately, that call never comes. OPP say that in several recent cases, seniors have complied and were subsequently defrauded of thousands of dollars. “Guard against becoming a victim before providing money or credit card information,� urge police. “Check with another family member or trusted friend to verify the information. “Remember, neither your financial institution nor a police investigator will ever ask you to withdraw money from your account or assist with an undercover investigation.� The OPP emphasizes that it is vitally important the incident be reported if it does occur, to allow police to investigate and charge the perpetrators. “If you are suspicious about a caller or the

reports the Renfrew OPP, who investigated 10 motor vehicle collisions. Only two resulted in minor injuries. Extra officers were on the roads, waterways and ATV trails to ensure the motoring public was obeying the rules of the road and safe on their journeys. A total of 195 charges were laid, the majority of which were for speeding, including three racing charges. The Ottawa OPP detachment issued 222 speeding tickets on the weekend, many on the Arnprior to Ottawa stretch. Province-wide, OPP officers laid 15,749 driving-related charges.
A total of 10,860 charges were laid for speeding, 339 for distracted driving, 1,186 for seat belt violations and 196 were alcohol-related charges. The weekend’s deaths drive this year’s total number of road fatalities to date to 238, a 20 per cent increase compared to the same time last year. The OPP continue to remind Ontarians that, as is usually the case, most of the deaths on highways, trails and waterways are preventable. With children returning to school and summer still upon us, the OPP will remain highly visible and committed to reducing injuries and saving lives in Ontario.

Dickens readings related to child poverty, food banks? ies, Great Expectations and Oliver Twist with a modern-day lens. An eminent story teller, Dickens was also a powerful social commentator, and he used the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution to highlight how progress was benefiting a few but leaving many in poverty, misery and ignorance. Two hundred years later, in the Ottawa Valley’s Renfrew County, are the words of Dickens relevant? After all, union workhouses and The Treadmill and Poor Laws are just obscure phrases in A Christmas Carol.
Yet, we have food banks, and the Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN), and some of the most appalling statistics in Ontario on personal health and substance abuse. READINGS, MUSIC
So join in under the Royal Oak tree that was planted in 1860 by Edward, Prince of Wales. Listen to readings from Dickens’ greatest works. Be serenaded by period music. And get an opportunity to talk to
representatives from the Arnprior food bank and the Renfrew County CPAN. After the readings, there will be a time for refreshments and discussion. Together, perhaps the question will be answered: “Is Dickens relevant?� Admission is by freewill donation (a portion of the proceeds will go to the Renfrew CPAN). And, in the spirit of the theme, please consider bringing a nonperishable food item for the Arnprior Food Bank.

Some of this year’s Sears Christmas Wish Books have a special look. It’s all part of the celebrations marking next year as the company’s 60th anniversary. To kick off the festivities, Canada president Calvin McDonald visited his hometown of London, Ontario Aug. 24 to personally deliver special 60th edition Wish Book catalogues in his old neighbourhood. Since the first Wish Book was published in 1953, the company’s annual Christmas catalogue has captured imaginations and created rushes of anticipation as it arrives on doorsteps across the country. To celebrate this longstanding tradition, this year’s edition features a commemorative cover that includes images of every Wish Book ever published. More than three million copies of this special edition 736-page Wish Book are being distributed across Canada. From the collectibles section, Sears will donate $2 from every purchase of ‘Cooper the Bear’ to programs that promote the healthy development of youth in Canadian communities. Canadians interested in obtaining the 2012 Wish Book and who are not on the Sears distribution list can visit the Sears Canada website at www. sears.ca or call 1-800-26SEARS.

EMC business - It was Christmas in August for Arnprior Villa residents last week. Arnprior Sears owner John Purdon, with the help of a very special friend - Santa Claus visited the Arnprior Villa on Arthur Street Aug. 29 to drop off the 2012 Sears Christmas Wish Book. “We know that many residents look forward to getting the Wish Book and it’s difficult for some of them to get out to the store,” said Purdon. “As well, we will be providing Villa residents with oncea-week free delivery.” Purdon said the Arnprior Mall store is “happy to place catalog orders for clients at the store or by phone.” He said extending the service to include free delivery for residents of the Villa and other retirement residences “is our way of saying thanks to

Pink Cheetahs raising money for breast cancer
The Arnprior Lions Club held its draw for an Apple iPad at Robert Simpson Park Sunday, Aug. 26 during the White Pine Festival. A young girl from the crowd proved lucky for Ghislaine Clouthier of Arnprior, the winner of the prize. Helping with the draw are Lions members Rob Brooks and Brenda Bennett. The Lions sold 1,157 tickets over several months, with the $1,529 profit going to the Arnprior Fire Department.
EMC lifestyle - Candace Galkowski is at it again. The Arnprior woman who had her head shaved earlier this year to raise money for the fight against cancer and honour her aunt who was battling the disease is continuing her efforts. This time she is part of a team called the Pink Cheetahs, who are raising money for breast cancer. The team of 10 is running in a 5-km charity race Sept. 30. Members have held a few bake sales to raise money and are hosting a bottle drive for breast cancer on Sunday, Sept. 23 from 9 a.m.
to 3 p.m. The drop-off point is at Galkowski’s home at 150 Third Ave. in Arnprior. If people want to give the Cheetahs their address, “we will gladly take their cans or bottles off their hands,” says Galkowski. All the money raised will go towards the Pink Cheetahs’ team total for breast cancer. Furthermore, local beautician Tina Carr has donated her services and is offering a special on all pedicures. For every pedicure done between now and Sept. 29, $5 will be donated to the breast cancer fund on the Cheetahs’ behalf. Carr’s salon, Crazy Beautiful, is located at 142 Victoria St. in Arnprior (613-316-5457).

A feathered visitor from Mexico makes way north EMC lifestyle – Birdwatching or, in more modern lingo, birding, is one of the most popular forms of outdoor recreation. People look at birds for a variety of reasons. For some, it is the richness of their colour and form. For others, it is their intriguing behaviours. Still others look at birds in the same way philatelists look at stamps – they are items to be collected. In earlier days, people quite literally collected birds. They were shot and stuffed and placed in display cases. Their eggs were also collected.
Today, however, people
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way “collect” birds in a more ecofriendly way. They strive to
see new birds and record their encounters by placing a tick mark beside the bird’s name on a list. “Listing” can be done on a world, country, provincial, or regional basis. Regional listing can be particularly exciting, with the greatest excitement arising whenever a bird rare to that region is encountered. Last week Bill Gilmour had an ocean of adrenalin flow through his veins. Late Monday evening he was biking in Presqu’ile Provincial Park when he heard an unfamiliar call.

Bill followed the loud squeal to its source and to his amazement found a bird that he had only ever seen before in Mexico. It was a Thickbilled Kingbird, a flycatcher never before recorded in eastern North America, and only seen once before in Canada; in 1974 one turned up near Vancouver. Like its name suggests, the Thick-billed kingbird has a massive bill, one apparently used to subdue not only large insects but also lizards. Of course, in Presqu’ile the latter was not on the bird’s menu, but black-and-white hornets certainly were. I heard about Bill’s discovery later that same day. I arrived at Presqu’ile at 6:30 the next morning, and even though it was just past dawn a
crowd of birders, some coming from as far as Leamington, was already admiring the bird. It conveniently perched atop trees, affording terrific views through binoculars and spotting scopes. The kingbird sported brown upperparts and a pale belly, which was yellow on its lower portion. When it preened, the crown feathers parted revealing a yellow patch at their base. Our Eastern Kingbird has a similar patch but it is red. The crown patch is usually revealed whenever a kingbird is aggressively driving away a larger bird such as a hawk, a behaviour that earned the group its appropriate name. Why did the kingbird wander to Ontario? Well, it is not uncommon for a young
flycatcher to migrate in the wrong direction, as if programmed incorrectly. Most years, transient flycatchers from the south make an appearance in Ontario. Lacking the correct navigational software, those individuals are usually doomed. This bird appeared to be an adult so its arrival is even more puzzling. Regardless of why they wander, vagrant birds such as Bill Gilmour’s Thick-billed Kingbird create a rush of endorphins that etch lifelong memories for their discoverers. The thought of that makes me want to start listing again! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

Over the summer, the team at TD Canada Trust in Arnprior has been selling chocolate bars and holding book sales and staff casual days, raising $1,000 for the Arnprior and District Food Bank. Taking part in the presentation at the bank last week, from left, are Tanya McClure, branch manager Sandra Coker, food bank president Kathy Tompkin, Kerstin Betts and Elaine Adams. Tompkin said the donation is timely as back to school is a very busy time for the food bank. The TD Canada Trust gang is now fundraising for backto-school supplies in conjunction with the food bank to assist local families.

EMC sports – Several Arnprior-McNabBraeside United Soccer Club teams did well as the Valley United Soccer League season and playoff play wrapped up in August. The under-14 Arnprior girls Team one finished undefeated, both Under-10 boys and girls select teams won their divisions, and the under-18 girls team finished third and gave an undefeated Opeongo team a tussle in the final. The Arnprior Team two ‘Golden Lads’
qualified for the Under-18 girls championship game with a heart-stopping win over secondplace Deep River Aug. 7. The game between the teams that had 6-4-2 regular season records went through double overtime and five shootout rounds. Arnprior won in the sixth round of shootouts in the dark by a score of 6-5. The players fought hard and never gave up, with their determination finally paying off for them. A week later, Arnprior lost 4-1 to firstplace Opeongo Team two (10-0-2). See BOTH ARNPRIOR, Page 24

Gordon Cup three-peat for AGC McGee, Collins lead the way Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com
EMC sports - The Arnprior Golf Club may be starting a Gordon Cup dynasty. The local lads owned a 41stroke lead on their nearest competitor after Saturday’s day one en route to a final 36hole total of 1,812 (904-908) to claim Valley supremacy Sunday at the Renfrew Golf Club. The team came within two strokes of a course record. It is also Arnprior’s third consecutive Gordon Cup crown. They claimed the title in 2010 at Deep River and again in 2011 at the Mississippi Golf Club. Pembroke finished second this year at 965-920-1,885, Mississippi third with a count of 947-947-1,894, Deep River fourth at 945-964-1,909 and Renfrew in unfamiliar territory in fifth at 968-955-1,923. Renfrew had a recent run of 17 Gordon Cup titles in a 21-year span up to and including Renfrew’s 150th anniversary celebrations on its home course in 2008. The top 12 of 14 scores on each of the two days make up a team’s final total. Arnprior’s top three individual scores were tops in the 70-man field, led by perhaps the Valley’s best golfer right now. Allen McGee’s four under par total of 71-67 for 138 included a sizzling 33 on Sunday’s front nine, and a 34 each day on the back nine. Last week, McGee captured the Ottawa city and district title for a sixth straight time. The 2008 Renfrew club champion Dwight Reinhardt and 21-year-old Taylor Collins shared scores of 72-69-141 to also complete the Gordon Cup under par for Arnprior. Collins turned his hockey sticks over for golf clubs after helping the Packers win the Valley Division championship last spring. Also contributing to Arn-
prior’s Gordon Cup title were Mike Payer 73-75-148, Jason Allen 73-76-149, Stephen Dowd 74-75-149, John Ackehurst 80-75-155, Jeff McCormick 74-82-156, Benny Allen 78-78-156, Kevin Mulvihill 80-78-158, Sean Moore 82-80-162, Jason McCormick 77-86-163, Peter Duffy 8086-166, and Joe Nych 82-84166. Nych was playing in his 29th Gordon Cup. Renfrew’s Rob Warren (8178-159), a 10-time local men’s club champion, was competing in his 42nd Gordon Cup tournament. It was a 36th for Pembroke’s Phil Hermitte, who led his team with rounds of 76-72 for a 148. Mississippi’s Bowie Abbis Mills carded a 71-77-148 while Deep River’s Bryan Simpson led his group at 7472-146. Renfrew’s top score of 7675-151 was turned in by Jeff Russell. The Gordon Cup began when J.P. Gordon of Renfrew donated a prestigious piece of hardware named in his honour for Ottawa Valley golf supremacy in 1930. That came one year after the Renfrew Golf Club was established. Next year, the Gordon Cup will be played in Pembroke. Then in 2014 it moves back to Arnprior, which will be marking the club’s 90th anniversary.
THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS 613-259-2398 or 1-800-239-4695
EMC sports – It’s becoming par for the course for West Carleton golfer Allen McGee. The Arnprior Golf Club member won a record-setting sixth straight Ottawa Valley Golf Association men’s A Class championship last week. McGee staved off a late charge by Ottawa Hunt Club member Chris McCuaig to win the tournament by one stroke. He shot a two-over-par 74 at Rivermead Aug. 30 on the third and final day of the tournament for a 215, just enough to win. McCuaig, who won the title in 2003 and 2004, shot a 71 on the final day, shaving McGee’s margin from four strokes to one. McGee needed a clutch putt on the final hole to avoid a playoff. Greensmere’s Lyle Alexander was third at 223 and Kurtis Barkley of Cedar Glen was fourth at 224. Two strokes back in fifth was another Arnprior Golf Club member, James Paterson, whose final day 74 gave him a 226 total. McGee bolted into the lead with an even-par 72 last Tuesday at Greensmere. He and McCuaig, who was playing in the tournament for the first time since he won in 2004, were tied for the lead with 69s after the first round at Greensmere Aug. 27. McGee’s fifth straight citydistrict title last year had tied him with Chaudière’s Frank Corrigan who won five times in the years 1932 to 1938.

PSP earns new contract, shuffles administrators John Carter john.carter@metroland.com
EMC business – Pacific Safety Products (PSP), which has its Canadian headquarters in Arnprior, has appointed a familiar face, Barb Peacock, as chief financial officer of the company and announced it has landed a major government contract. PSP has received a new contract for supply and disposal of soft body armour from the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The contract is for up to five years (three years plus two one-year options) for a total estimated value of $910,000. The company, which has an 18,000-sq.ft. plant in Arnprior, is an established industry leader in the production, distribution and sale of high-performance and high-quality safety
products for the defence and security market. Its products include body armour to protect against ballistic, stab and fragmentation threats, ballistic blankets to reduce blast effects, tactical clothing, and protective products against chemical and biological hazards. PSP is the largest body armour manufacturer in Canada, directly supplying the Canadian Department of National Defence, federal government agencies and major Canadian law enforcement organizations. The mission statement of Pacific Safety Products is: “We bring everyday heroes home safely.� Peacock rejoins the company after being for the past seven months the acting chief financial officer for the National Aboriginal Health Organization. She has four years of previous experience with PSP, when she was corporate
controller from 2007 to 2011. “We are pleased to welcome Ms. Peacock back to PSP; she has a strong understanding of our business and finance department,� said Fraser Campbell, interim chairman of the board and interim chief executive officer of the company. “PSP would also like to thank Ms. Sharon Johnston for the fantastic job she did during her tenure and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.� Campbell was appointed PSP’s interim chief executive officer in June following the resignation of Douglas Lucky. The company also announced Brad Field has been appointed a director of the company with the eye to taking over the CEO position Oct. 1. The appointment marked the return of Field to the company he founded in 1984 and lead for 22 years. Under his tenure, PSP was named one of Canada’s fastest growing companies for
three years running from 1999 to 2001 and received a technology innovation award in 2005. “We are thrilled to bring Brad Field back into the PSP family,� said Campbell. “Mr. Field’s depth of knowledge and relationships within the personal safety industry, as well as his familiarity and past experience leading the company, are strong assets that will benefit the company.� PSP has been taking steps to align and size its operations to meet current North American business opportunities and expects the efforts to improve its financial outlook. The company, which has experienced a turnaround with a reported profitable third quarter of its 2012 fiscal year, said it will continue “to consider and evaluate on an ongoing basis all alternatives available to it in the course of realizing its strategic direction.�
Counties lobby to make small business eligible for funding Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com
EMC news - Bill 11 was passed in Queen’s Park Aug. 28, but the very next day Renfrew County council was pushing for improvements to the bill. The bill’s a good thing for business, but could be even better, if recommendations from the county become part of its regulations. That could happen, since Hastings and Renfrew counties are among those lobbying for regulations that make more smaller businesses eligible for Eastern Ontario Development Fund support. The bill essentially guarantees continuation of the EODF and creates the Southwestern Ontario Development Fund. For the eastern section of the province, this guarantees the availability of $20 million per year for business development. The EODF was originally implemented and designed at the request of the Eastern Ontario
Wardens’ Caucus and has resulted in substantial private and government investment and significant job creation in and around Renfrew County. In the Aug. 29 session of Renfrew County council, councillors and staff spoke of the need for one critical change in the bill’s regulations. The request was that companies of five or fewer employees be eligible to receive funding under the program. The current bill calls for assistance to be available to companies with 10 or more employees. This request was made earlier this year at Rockland, during EOWC discussions with Brad Duguid, the Ontario Minister of Economic Development and Innovation. The minister agreed to consider the request that the EODF support be changed, so that not just companies with a minimum of 10 jobs be eligible for support. “Previous criteria for the Eastern Ontario Development Fund prior to Bill 11 was that a company had to create 10 new jobs,� Renfrew

the amount of private investment that is required, also to make it easier for smaller companies to meet this threshold.� Hastings County’s CAO Jim Pine is also among those pushing for regulations that give EODF consideration to more smaller businesses. Many smaller businesses in eastern Ontario have an average of five employees, Pine told The Belleville Intelligencer.
Metroland Media Group supports new online venture SHOP.CA EMC business – SHOP.CA is promising Canadians a better way to shop on the Internet. Torstar, parent company of Metroland Media Group, publisher of the Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC, has invested in the new site that launched this spring. SHOP.CA offers millions of products in categories such as clothing, house and home, baby and child, electronics, books and e-books, movies and music. And all are sold and shipped within Canada. The investment will give Torstar an initial stake of about 14 per cent with a commitment to increase its interest to 30 per cent over 30 months based on the company achieving certain performance milestones, in exchange for a total investment of up to $6 million in cash and up to $12.4 million in promotional support. “We are proud to have aligned with such an experienced industry leader,� said Drew Green, SHOP.CA CEO and co-founder. “Torstar has a proven track-record of using its media assets to drive online transactions. It is truly exhilarating to work with a partner who shares our vision to improve the online shopping experience in Canada.� Torstar’s promotional support to SHOP.CA will be provided through its many media properties. In addition to the investment, Metroland
Media Group has entered into a strategic alliance with SHOP.CA focused on developing the merchant base. David Holland, president and CEO of Torstar, said “e-commerce is an area which is growing rapidly and we are very pleased to be partnering with the management team at SHOP.CA to bring a new Canadian alternative to Canadians who shop online.� The site offers millions of products from many leading brands in over two dozen product categories. Price, speed of delivery, ease of return and a rewards program are important aspects that are expected to appeal to Canadian shoppers. SHOP.CA will also help local businesses access the Canadian online shopping market, where sales are expected to reach $33 billion by 2016. Retailers and manufacturers can use the site to sell their products, on a cost-per-order basis, to customers across town or across the country. “Metroland has strong relationships with thousands of local businesses and we think SHOP.CA will be an attractive way to support them in tapping into the growing trend of online shopping,� said Metroland president Ian Oliver.

Roscoe was found wandering down a country road, he was dehydrated and starving. He has been at the shelter since October 2011 and would love to ďŹ nd a great new home. Roscoe is a very handsome, 6 year old, neutered and declawed boy. He can be affectionate and enjoy attention when he is in the mood. He is curious and likes to explore. Roscoe would be best suited in an adult only home where he will be the only pet. His longer hair will require some grooming. The shelter would be willing to reduce Roscoe’s adoption fee for the right home. Please consider adopting this handsome guy, he’s tired of living in a cage.
County CAO Jim Hutton told The Chronicle Guide EMC. “This was very difficult for small companies in eastern Ontario, many of which have fewer than 10 employees to begin with.

This would allow large and small companies to be eligible to apply for funding. “Also, the EOWC asked for a reduction in

“What sums me up is that I remember what I’ve been through, and I so appreciate where I am now,â€? Barr often explains. “My experience battling cancer has made me who I am today.â€? Barr is a true ďŹ ghter. After nine months of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, she was exhausted, but her gutsy spirit couldn’t let it rest. “I couldn’t just sit around and attend my own pity party. I wanted to raise money for research to beat this disease.â€? So in the fall of 1998, just months after ďŹ nishing her treatments, the CIBC Run for the Cure presented her with the ‘Determination Award’ for being the top fundraiser in Ottawa – the ďŹ rst of three consecutive annual awards Barr collected. FUN RAISING FUNDS
“I call it FUNraising, since I enjoy meeting people, and have no problem asking them to support a great cause; I’m quite successful at it.â€? One of Barr’s favorite adages at the time was “live like there’s no tomorrow.â€? After celebrating the pivotal ďŹ ve-year mark of being cancer free, she was also doing her best to be carefree. She was ‘spreading her sunshine’ and doing her best to ‘raise other people’s spirits’. She couldn’t have known that after eight years the disease would again attack her right breast and she’d have an
even bigger battle on her hands. In 2006 Barr opted for a double-mastectomy, feeling that was her best chance of survival. This time cancer didn’t stand a chance. Barr beat the odds and she believes her positive attitude and stubborn determination had a large effect on her recovery. Fifteen years after ďŹ nding the ďŹ rst lump, Barr is ‘paying it forward’ in a big way by organizing the inaugural Rock for the Cure on the property that is partly owned by her brother Jamie. Barr has also organized Team ‘Love Those Boobs’ to participate in this year’s CIBC Run for the Cure in Ottawa. Proceeds from both events support the Canadian Breast Cancer Society. Breast cancer statistics from the Canadian Cancer Society indicate that in 2012 on average 62 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer every day. On average 14 Canadian women will die of breast cancer every day. One in nine women is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime and one in 29 will die of it. Barr’s life may not have taken the path she would have chosen, but she’s overcome adversity and is willing to go the distance to help ďŹ nd a cure for the disease that dramatically impacted her life. “Most people’s lives have been impacted somehow by it, and I will not stop until we wipe it out,â€? Barr vows. “I will continue to raise money for research until breast cancer has been defeated.â€?

EMC events – Breast cancer survivor Jackie Barr of the Pakenham area is rallying local musicians together to play for Rock for the Cure Saturday, Sept. 15. The night of live music to raise funds for breast cancer research will be held from 6 to 11 p.m. at her Love That Barr property at 2496 County Rd. 29 near Pakenham. Musicians including Woody & The CHEZ 106 Hosers, Stone Bandits, Billy Armstrong, Rockin’ Ray, Back To Memphis (tribute to Elvis), The Garden of Weeds, Just 2 Guys and more will be playing from 6 to 11 p.m. Proceeds will go toward the CIBC Run for the Cure Sept. 30 in Ottawa. Stricken by breast cancer in 1997 and again in 2006, Barr is a survivor who promise she will not stop fundraising for breast cancer research until the disease has been beaten. Talking to Barr is often like having an encounter with a motivational audio book. Her favorite phrases ooze optimism and encouragement. “Take the high road.â€? “Pay it forward.â€? “It’s not the destination, but the journey that counts.â€? Fifteen years ago, though, a 32-year old Barr could not have known that her life was about to take a sudden detour. That was the day she discovered a lump in her right breast. Less than a month later her doctors conďŹ rmed the diagnosis of breast cancer. Barr never thought a disease could change who she was.

Prior Chest Nuts wind down their third season that festival next year; it is an awesome venue.” The paddlers love the camaraderie of being part of a team, the relaxation of being out on the water and the challenge to reach that extra inch with the paddle. This season, the Prior Chest Nuts had a few fun nights where they had some family and friends that came and paddled with them. “We tried to work extra hard at those practices,” they quipped. The Prior Chest Nuts are exploring participating in the International Breast Cancer Commission Paddlers International Festival in Sarasota, Florida in 2014. The theme of this particular festival is ‘Participation, not Competition’. In addition, to the two exciting days of racing on an internationally recognized race course, the week will include opening and closing ceremonies, coaching and steering clinics, seminars, practice sessions, entertainment, the traditional Parade of Nations, Sandy Smith global race, and memorial flower ceremony. “It will be an experience of a lifetime for a lot of us.” The Prior Chest Nuts would like to have more breast cancer survivors come out and paddle with them, so shoot an email at Priorchestnuts@hotmail.com or ask any member. Prior Chest Nuts are also on Facebook and have pamphlets distributed at various places throughout the Ottawa Valley.

EMC lifestyle - As September rolls around and the days become shorter, the Prior Chest Nuts’ time dragon boating on White Lake is coming to a close. This is the third year the Prior Chest Nuts have spent two nights a week paddling from their dock at the White Lake Marina up, down and around the lake depending on where Tom, Diane or Josh wished to steer the crew. The breast cancer survivor team is led one night a week by coach Crystal Devlin, who has built up the team’s endurance with her dragon boat paddling practice schedule. Alternate night coaches, who were fellow paddlers, made sure members kept up the pace, while enjoying the practices. The Prior Chest Nuts can always count on a few paddlers to throw in a cute joke when they need that extra minute or two of rest. This year, the Prior Chest Nuts participated in the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival in June. In the Breast Cancer Survivor Challenge Cup, they had an awesome start but just didn’t have the energy for that big finish. The Prior Chest Nuts had hoped to participate in the Carleton Place Festival Sept. 8, but some of the paddlers have experienced medical issues - a reality the team lives with – so had to forgo participation this year. “We definitely plan to be in

School’s back, bus and pedestrian safety urged
JOHN CARTER/METROLAND
Trent, Anton and Reece Robillard safely board the school bus on the first day of school Tuesday on Calabogie Road. A line-up of cars backs up behind the bus, obeying the flashing lights. Trent and Reece are entering Grade 3 and Anton is in senior Kindergarten at McNab Public School.
EMC news – Students went back to school Tuesday and Arnprior and Renfrew OPP want everyone to stay safe. In a news release, the OPP urge the public to “please ensure that you pay particular attention to pedestrian traffic and school bus traffic.” Excited students are back flooding too and from school on weekdays in the mornings and midafternoons, so motorists are asked to be particularly alert during those times and obey school zone rules. All too often, motorists let their guard down in school zones during the summer months and with students heading back to school, and it is important drivers maintain an acute sense of awareness and expect the unexpected when near schools and in neighbourhoods where school buses and school kids are present. Always stop for pedestrians at crosswalks and school crossings and obey crossing guards at all times, add police. Motorists also need to be mindful that more and more youths are texting and talking on cell phones as they travel to and from school and are likely to be more inattentive and unaware of their surroundings. Using cell phones while driving is against the law and particularly dangerous in and around school zones where kids are walking and may also be
distracted with their cell phones. Parents should join police and schools in impressing the need for traffic safety advice on their children, as it is a shared responsibility, stress the OPP. The Canadian Automobile Association of North and East Ontario also sent out a news release reminding motorists that under Ontario law motorists travelling in both directions must come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus that has its upper red lights flashing. Failure to stop for a school bus can be a costly decision. For a first offence, drivers face a fine of $400 to $2,000 and the loss of six demerit points from their licence. Each subsequent offence brings fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000, as well as six demerit points and the possibility of serving up to six months in jail. Motorists are also reminded that roadways in a designated school zone have a speed limit of 40 km/h. Drivers who exceed this speed limit by 16 to 29 km/h can lose three demerit points and be forced to pay a fine. Those found to be going 50 km/h above the posted speed limit could be faced with the loss of six demerit points, a suspended licence, and a fine of up to $10,000 under the Safer Roads for a Safer Ontario Act.
OPP not at fault for chase-ending crash, SIU decides EMC news – Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has concluded there are no reasonable grounds to charge two OPP officers in relation to a high-speed chase May 22 that began in Arnprior. In a news release Aug. 23, SIU director Ian Scott concludes the two Upper Ottawa Valley detachment officers do not have any criminal liability for the injuries caused when the car driven by 26-year-old fugitive Shadi Al-Akbari slammed into a vehicle driven by 29-year-old Neil Clarence Blain. The SIU investigation found the following events took place May 22: • In the late afternoon hours, an officer with the Arnprior OPP Detachment saw a brown Toyota RAV
4, later determined to be driven by Al-Akbari, speeding westbound on Highway 17. The officer had received previous information that the driver had stolen gasoline and food from a convenience store in Arnprior. The officer initiated a suspect apprehension pursuit after Al-Akbari attempted to elude apprehension. When the officer attempted to pull alongside him, he responded by swerving into the path of the cruiser. • The pursuit was called off. • Once Al-Akbari had gone through Cobden, another pursuit took place, this time with two police vehicles – one being driven by one of the subject officers, and another being driven by a witness officer. • The pursuit was terminated at
Hwy. 17 and Paquette Road in the Petawawa area. The RAV 4 continued west at a high rate of speed. • Meanwhile, the second subject officer deployed a spike belt at the east side of the Canadian Pacific Railway overpass near Petawawa. The eastbound lane of the overpass was closed and under construction, resulting in shared-use of the westbound lane by both east- and west-bound traffic. Access to the remaining one lane of the overpass was controlled by traffic signals that had been installed at both ends. At the time of this incident, the traffic signals were red for traffic traveling eastbound, thus causing a line of cars to back up in that lane. The westbound lane was clear.
• At about 5:30 p.m., the RAV 4 passed over the spike belt, continued on the overpass, and on exiting the west end, veered into the eastbound lane, causing a head-on collision with a stationary Volkswagen Jetta driven by Blain. The reconstructionist concluded the RAV 4’s speed was at least 122 km/hr five seconds before impact. • Blain sustained serious injuries including a fractured hip, ankle and knee, as well as three upper leg fractures and a concussion. The extent of Al-Akbari’s injuries is unknown because he declined to provide the SIU with a signed medical release form. “In my view, the first subject officer was in compliance with the suspect apprehension regulation to the
Police Services Act,” said Scott. “He had the authority to pursue the suspect vehicle after receiving information that the driver had committed a criminal offence and refused to stop after being directed to do so. “The officer discontinued his pursuit when it appeared that it was too dangerous to continue.” Scott also concluded that the deployment of the spike belt “could not be considered to be criminally negligent because Mr. Al-Akbari was driving his vehicle in a very dangerous manner shortly before the collision, appeared to have no intention of stopping, and represented a serious threat to public safety.” See AUTHOR , Page 40

Correction: Huggard an architectural technologist EMC lifestyle - A story in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC incorrectly identified Ross Huggard and spelled his name wrong. Huggard is an architectural technologist (not an architect) whose expertise played a key role in the Burnstown United Church accessibility project. The paper apologizes for the error.

Kelly Killeen Phillips and her sisters Christa Killeen-Darou and Karen Killeen Leonard daughters of cancer victim Audry Killeen, raised $9,000 with a cookbook in her memory.
Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the time to explain the process, show you a great marketing plan & help you every step of the way!
Cookbook honours much-loved mom after a brave fight with uterine cancer. The cookbook made sense to Audryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughters, as she was known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the hostess with the mostess.â&#x20AC;? She was at ease cooking for large crowds and enjoying time spent with family and friends. This collection is based on
meals made by Audry as well as those submitted by family and friends. Over this 10-year period the cookbook has raised $9,000. These funds have been donated to ADMHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Partners in Caring Digital Mammography Campaign. This piece of equipment provides women
(and men) in the area with one of the best early detection tools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to do something positive out of something that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t positive. If we can help one family not have to go through what we went though, it was worth it,â&#x20AC;? said Christa Killeen-Darou.

EMC lifestyle - One of my favourite Bill Cosby stories is one in which he tries to persuade his wife that it was okay for him to give their kids chocolate cake for breakfast. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe his defence of â&#x20AC;&#x153;They made me do it! They made me give them chocolate cake!â&#x20AC;? So he falls back on what he figures is a winning argument. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But cake is good for you. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all sorts of good stuff in it - thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wheat and eggs and milk.â&#x20AC;? Needless to say, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t persuade her. When I saw this recipe for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Breakfast Cookiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, I immediately thought of Bill Cosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story. These cookies also have

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Further, while I do not have the benefit of a statement from the subject officer who deployed the spike belt, I infer that he placed the belt at the east side of the overpass to take advantage of the concrete barrier which, so the subject officer may have thought, would safely direct Mr. Al-Akbariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle away from oncoming traffic. Also, the fact that he could place the spike belt across the roadway meant that Mr. Al-Akbari could not avoid it by changing lanes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my view, the deployment of the spike belt at this location was a reasonable decision. Tragically, a major vehicle collision followed causing life-threatening injuries to Mr. Blain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All in all, I am of the view that Mr. Al-Akbari was largely the author of his own misfortune in causing this devastating collision. Accordingly, I cannot form reasonable grounds that either subject officer committed a criminal offence in relation to this motor vehicle collision.â&#x20AC;?

EMC lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The new school year has started this week, classes are underway, new friends are being made and the homework has started. What a better way to start the new school year on the right foot than becoming involved in some of our programs. We want to make sure that high school students are not left out without any programs. We have revamped our dodgeball program to include our high school students as well. We have two sessions of the program, from 5-6 p.m. for high school students and from 6-7 p.m. for Grades 4-8. Please note that if there are not enough high school students to play at 5 p.m., the students will be welcome to play at 6 p.m. Dodgeball is a free, drop-in

Registration is open for our youth programs now, so if there is a program you are keen on getting into, now is your chance. We are continuing our Active AfterSchool Program at schools in Arnprior and McNab. This program is one hour after school at each school. We play non-traditional, active games that promote leadership skills, confidence and physical activity for all youth Grades 4-8). Mondays are at McNab ($10 fee), Tuesdays at John XXIII, Wednesdays at Walter Zadow (open to St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students too)

Arnprior Legion gears up for a busy fall season with many events planned EMC lifestyle - It’s September believe it or not. The weather isn’t always proof of that, but cooler nights and earlier sunsets are a clue. But if you’re still not sure, the little people are back in school and that’s a sure sign of September. When you drop into the Legion, you’ll have more proof. Bulletin boards and signs and people, everyone with something on their mind be it the monthly general meetings back on schedule on the second Wednesday every month or June’s new executive getting into full swing securing new volunteers for dinners and breakfasts or canvassing. And, of course, the first big event of
the fall season is Legion Week. This is always the third week of September. VETERANS DINNER
This year that being Sept. 16 to 22 and keeping with tradition in Arnprior, the first day the Legion honours all veterans in the area by holding a Veterans Dinner. The rest of that week has something on every night in the hall or lounge. Watch for flyers and the sign out front and, of course, the website. It’s a great place and week to join up with old and new friends. Do you know vets who would like to
come out for some comradeship some evening, and maybe can’t get there on their own. Do a good deed bring him or her along for a couple of fun-filled hours. You’ll both be glad you did. Bingo is still on for Monday night Legion Week, there’s a spaghetti supper, fun night, come hear the band, usual Friday burgers at lunch time, and euchre and golf tournaments both on Saturday to close off the week of celebrations. Remember new and renewable memberships are now available at last year’s price until Jan. 31, 2013. “Don’t miss out on a good thing. Join the Legion.”

375 WHITE LAKE RD., ARNPRIOR
Children preferred Father’s punishment style
caught Audrey square in the face, which completely ruined the curls she got by enduring her hair being tied up in rags all night. She grabbed the pail out of Emerson’s hand and was all set to swat him with it, when Everett grabbed the handle, wrenched it from her, and caught me, the innocent bystander, square on the backside. It didn’t hurt in the least, but always ready to make the most of any situation getting out of hand, I nonetheless started to roar as if I had been hit with a two-by-four! It didn’t take Mother long to come out of the house to see what all the uproar was about. She always let us settle our own battles, refusing to listen to anyone who was about to tattle. But this was no ordinary disagreement. Audrey was standing on the pump stand, screaming, the three brothers were rolling on the grass, and I was wailing that I thought my back was broken!
THIS WEEK’S FEATURE
Father, if he heard the ruckus, was ignoring it. Mother found him in the cow byre and she insisted he take us all into the drive shed and “deal with the whole lot of them,” she said. Father took his pipe out of his mouth, and pointed it towards the open doors, not saying a word. He put a stern look on his face, and followed us all through the double doors. The heat of the day was on our side. Father had been up since dawn, and even though it was early in the day, he looked wilted and tired out. He didn’t look like he was in any mood to dole out punishment. He asked Audrey what happened to her hair, he told Everett when the discipline was over he was to fill the watering trough, Emerson was to sort the newly bought nails into the tin cans on the shelf, Earl was to feed the chickens, and with a big wink in my direction, he said, “And you young lady have to come to Briscoe’s General Store with me.”

Mary Cook’s Memories
But he wasn’t finished with me yet, “You’ll have to eat the humbugs Mr. Briscoe gives you every time you go in the store.” Father knew I hated humbugs with a passion. “Or you can bring them home and give them to Queenie … that old horse sure loves humbugs.” And he gave me another big wink. Just before he let us out of the drive shed, he gave the work table another couple good whacks with the old leather strap, Emerson let out a few roars as if he had come in direct contact with it, Earl developed the usual sniffles, and Audrey, who we all knew was too old to strap, said, “Yes I know not to get involved the next time with any fights.” Father told me to go and wait for him beside the buggy. He walked, filling his pipe at the same time, towards the kitchen door. “I have to run over to Briscoe’s,” he said through the screen. “Mary’s coming with me. And they’ve all been dealt with,” he added over his shoulder. Mother seemed satisfied. I once heard her tell Mrs. Beam that she “could always depend on Albert to discipline the children. Sometimes I just don’t have the energy to handle the five of them.” And for that, we five kids were might grateful.

EMC lifestyle - We much preferred Father over Mother when it came to meting out discipline. Father was so soft-hearted, he could never come give us a swat even if we deserved it. Mother felt a disobedient child would never amount to a hill of beans, and not only did she on occasion have a heavy hand, she was quick to dole it out too. Often Mother would say to Father, “Those children have to be dealt with. You look after it Albert.” This meant a trip to the drive shed, Father lighting his pipe, we five kids shifting from one foot to the other while awaiting our punishment. Mother was sure Father was in the shed giving us a few whacks with the strap, and to make it sound like we were really being punished Father would slap the strap against his work table, Emerson would yelp like a wounded puppy, and eventually we would stagger out of the drive shed pretending to be almost mortally wounded from the blows that never came. My sister Audrey blamed it on the heat. Emerson said it was because school would be going back in a couple days. Whatever the reason, there erupted on the front lawn the most glorious fight of all time. It started when Emerson threw a pail of water on Earl, most of which missed him and

LOST & FOUND Though you’re no longer with me, Everyday I find, In one way or another, You’re back there in my mind. I might hear a piece of music, And at once my mind is stirred, Back to a treasured moment, The two of us have shared, I never try to stop them, I let them just flow through, It’s just my way of spending time, Once again with you.

We took our vows together Said, “Till death do us part”, But when God came and took your hand My whole world fell apart. No one knows the heartache I try so hard to hide, Only God knows how many times I’ve broken down and cried. When I look back upon our lives One of the things that makes me glad, That you chose me to share with you The precious years we had. Forever Loved Bev CL373976
POWELL THOMAS We little knew that morning God was going to call your name, In Life we loved you dearly In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you You did not go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories Your love is still our guide, And although we cannot see you You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again.
REGAN, Garry

EMC events - A fledgling Arnprior area arts group is putting local artisans in the spotlight. The Arnprior and Beyond Arts Association (ABARTSA) will hold its inaugural Arnprior and Beyond Arts Discovery Tour on the Sept. 29-30 weekend. This studio tour, running 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, will guide visitors through a scenic route as they visit nine participating studios in Arnprior, McNab-Braeside, Renfrew and Pakenham. At each studio between one and four local artists will have examples of their work on display along with information on the different art workshops offered by many of the participants. A wide variety of different artistic media will be shown, including oil, acrylic and water colour painting, byzantine icons, handmade jewelry, art photography, digital art, blown glass, mosaics, metal sculpture, wood carving, and painting on egg shells. The intent of the tour is to attract residents and visitors to the area in order to promote the skills of local artists and to put the Arnprior area on the artistic map. In total, 24 individual artists are participating in the tour. ABARTSA has created a website at http://abartsa.wordpress. com. You can download the map as well as the full addresses of the participating studios from the website or look for one of the tour brochures at participating stores and organizations. The event has received sponsorship from a number of local companies that have shown interest in the tour and would like to help attract visitors to the local region. The brochure shows the route and includes descriptions of the participating studios and artists and their various media. ABARTSA is a group of dedicated, professional artists formed earlier this year. Members are interested in promoting the arts within Arnprior and the surrounding communities through public exhibitions, affiliations with businesses and government, workshops, and supporting the community. During the recent Arnprior 150th anniversary celebrations, ABARTSA participated through its Art in the Park exhibition. ABARTSA also recently took part in the Renfrew Art in the Park exhibition.

EMC events - The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum’s popular Fibrefest is returning for its 17th year this weekend (Sept. 8-9). The event runs at five Almonte-area locations from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. The cost to enter all Fibrefest sites is $5 per day. The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, North Lanark Agricultural Hall, Almonte Old Town Hall, North Lanark Historical Museum and Mill of Kintail will feature everything from fibre art vendors and demonstrations to exhibits. Local guilds will be on hand to demonstrate the arts of knitting, lacemaking, smocking, weaving, spinning, quilting, penny rugs, button collecting and more. Judy Miller is the event’s featured textile artist. She combines fabric-painting techniques and free-motion machine embroidery to produce works rich in colour and texture. The featured group exhibit is TREES by Threadworks, a special project of the Ontario Network of Needleworkers’ 1,000-plus members. Threadworks is a juried exhibition that is mounted every three years and travels across Ontario to many museums and galleries. Fibrefest’s featured events are the Tweed Ride and Doors Open Mississippi Mills. The Tweed Ride is a gently paced ‘weave’ on bicycles through town and out into the country wearing a stylish outfit of a bygone time. It starts Saturday at 12:30 p.m. at the Almonte Fairgrounds. Tweed Rides are happening around the Globe in support of good causes. The charity supported by Almonte’s ride is ‘Bicycles for Haiti’. Doors Open is a celebration of community heritage and an opportunity for participants to visit many of the historic and architecturally significant sites in Carleton Place, Almonte and area. This year organizers are opening the doors to churches, inns, a clock tower and even a waste water treatment plant. For more information about Fibrefest, contact the museum at 613-256-3754, ext. 7 or email info@mvtm.ca or visit www. mvtm.ca.
