Reeve rerunWalter Stack seeks another term on Arnprior town councilDerek [email protected]

News – The Town of Arn-prior’s longtime representa-tive at county council, Reeve Walter Stack, is asking for another four years in the job.

Stack signed his papers to be a candidate in the Oct. 27 municipal election on May 16. He has been on town council since 2005, repre-senting the concerns and op-portunity of residents around the Renfrew County council table since 2006.

Often noted for his “Irish temper,” Stack is considered one of the more outspoken, knowledgeable and passion-ate members of town council. His compassion is often ex-pressed in the various service organizations he belongs to, especially Royal Canadian Legion branch 174.

He tends to be right-of-centre, a small ‘l’ liberal or red Rory, concerned about

keeping taxes low, but a be-liever that government can make wise investments and should be responsible for the less fortunate.

There was talk last time around that Stack would challenge Terry Gibeau for the mayor’s chair, but the lat-ter opted to run for council-lor position. Stack appeared satisfi ed with the prospect of David Reid winning the mayor’s job, and seems much happier serving on council this time around.

He has made it clear since the beginning of the year he would be running again for council, but didn’t say for what position until fi ling in mid-May.

As part of county council, Stack is a member of the in-fl uential fi nance and adminis-tration committee, and chairs the operations committee.

Major trade show an economic boostNews – Arnprior welcomed huge trucks and

other large equipment to town this week.No, it wasn’t a monster truck event at the fair-

grounds. The massive display of equipment is part

of the Ontario Municipal Public Works Trade Show being held Wednesday and Thursday this week at the Nick Smith Centre and Arnprior Fairgrounds.

An estimated 3,000 attendees are visiting the show in Arnprior, which is an excellent econom-

Continued from frontPrior to being elected,

Stack spent a number of years working in Pembroke and also worked in Toronto managing a manufacturing plant.

However, he has had life-long connections to Arnprior, being a resident here for most of his life along with his wife Barbara and their two sons. Stack is proud that his newest granddaughter has become the fi fth generation of Stacks to call Arnprior home.

NO OTHERS

As of June 3, there are no other candidates running for reeve.

Reid is running again for

mayor. Second time candi-date Doug Smith and incum-bent Dan Lynch are vying for spots on the seven-member council.

In next-door McNab-Brae-side, the mayor represents the township on Renfrew County council.

In the race for that position so far are incumbent mayor Mary Campbell, Coun. Al-dene Styles and Tom Peckett, a former sparring partner of Stack’s around the Arnprior council table.

DEADLINE

The deadline for nomina-tions is Sept. 12 and the mu-nicipal election will be held Oct. 27.

Continued from frontThe two-day trade show

features more than 180 exhibi-tors and is providing an oppor-tunity for public and private sector public works employees and fi rms to share information and technical developments in materials, services and equip-ment required to build and maintain municipal roads and core infrastructure projects.

The event is designed to promote innovation and mod-

ern methodology that is avail-able for municipal staff to employ in the day to day work that they undertake.

The show allows attend-ees to speak directly with the products’ representa-tives, explore operational machinery, meet one-on-one with potential suppliers, and network with other public works staff from all over the province.

Volunteer members of the

Renfrew County Roads Su-pervisors Association have been busy last week and this preparing the site, organiz-ing the schedule of activities, and planning related events in anticipation of welcoming the large crowds to the event.

A golf tournament for par-ticipants was held Tuesday at the Madawaska Golf Course.

WALTER STACK

Clara’s Big Ride comes to ‘priorJohn [email protected]

News – The appearance by Olympian Clara Hughes in Arnprior is just over three weeks away.

Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack updated Ren-frew County council and the public on the ar-rival of Clara’s Big Ride, a part of the Bell Let’s Talk campaign, to the area at the end of the month.

She is bringing her cross-country trek to raise awareness about mental health to the Up-per Ottawa Valley before wrapping it up in Ot-tawa on Canada Day.

The ride to end the stigma surrounding men-tal illness will be making stops in Deep River on June 29 and Arnprior on June 30.

The six-time Olympic medallist (both sum-mer and winter) began her epic 12,000-kilo-metre journey on March 14. The 41-year-old Hughes will have visited 95 communities by the time her 110-day trip is over.

At County council, Stack praised Hughes for undertaking the ride of her life and encour-aged all residents of Deep River and Arnprior and area to come out and give the her the wel-come she deserves.

He noted that throughout her athletic career, Hughes has battled depression, adding that she bravely has chosen to share her story in the hope the public will see that mental health problems can be overcome with understand-ing.

The bike trip, which has taken Hughes through each province and territory, has her in the Prairies this week.

In Deep River, KidActive, the Physical Activity Network and Healthy Communities Partnership are planning the community-wide event for the day of the Olympian’s visit.

In Arnprior, parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur and a committee are organizing events to welcome Hughes to town the day be-fore Canada Day.

The town is hoping she will take part in the traditional ride down to Robert Simpson Park on Canada Day morning before she heads off to Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill.

“I can’t wait to ride into Ottawa to celebrate Canada’s birthday and share the story of this amazing journey I’ve taken with Canadians everywhere,” said Hughes in a news release Tuesday.

“I’ve met so many new people and a lot of old friends during the Big Ride, like the people here in Alberta who’ve been so welcoming and open with their mental health stories.

“We’re having a great conversation about how we can achieve a Canada that’s free of the stigma around mental illness. And I hope to see you in Ottawa on July 1 to keep the con-versation going as we celebrate Canada Day.”

Hughes will be welcomed by Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Offi cial Languages and the honorary Clara’s Big Ride Community Champion for Ottawa, during the Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill.

There will be special festivities at ‘Clara’s Celebration Plaza’ in Major’s Hill Park. Hughes will be displaying a number of gifts, artifacts and mementos from around the coun-try that have been given to her during her Big Ride. There will also be entertainment on the Bell Stage.

“We are so proud of Clara and her unwaver-ing commitment to mental health and to cre-ating a stigma-free Canada,” said Mary Dea-con, Chair of Bell Let’s Talk. “We thank all our partners in communities across Canada for their support and look forward to celebrating the success of Clara’s incredible journey on Canada Day.”

Everyone can participate in the Clara’s Big Ride through community events and social media. Please visit Bell.ca/ClarasBigRide or follow the latest Ride news on Twitter at @Bell_LetsTalk or on Facebook at Facebook.com/BellLetsTalk.

News - Hydro rates. Highway 17 four-laning. Public service salaries. Health care. School tuition. Munici-pal funding. Child poverty. Mental health. Support for agriculture and the forestry sector.

These issues and more were touched upon May 27 in Cobden as about 70 people got a fi rst look at the candidates in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke for the June 12 provincial election.

Sponsored by the Renfrew County chapter of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and held at the Cobden Agricultural Hall, the session gave special focus to agricultural issues, including hydro rates, the future of Kemptville College and the possible expansion of natural gas services into rural regions.

Only four of six candidates attend-ed – incumbent Conservative MPP John Yakabuski, Liberal Rob Boile-au, New Democratic Party candidate Brian Dougherty and Murray Reid of the Confederation of Regions party.

Green Party candidate Benjamin Wright and independent Chad Beck-with-Smith were no-shows.

Energy rates were the fi rst and top issue addressed, so much so that or-ganizers strayed from their one-min-ute response restriction as the audi-

ence and candidates felt the issue demanded more time. Instead, two minutes were allowed.

Former PC energy critic Yakabus-ki, of Barry’s Bay, said he predicted the Green Energy Act would be a disaster and told the audience that, because of the act, “you’re all going to feel the pain.”

He said his party shut down the Ontario Power Authority, work to in-crease the province’s ability to trade with Manitoba and Quebec, and de-mand greater accountability.

Dougherty said the NDP plans to lower hydro rates overall, stop sell-ing Ontario electricity for pennies on the dollar, and merge, into one body, the four giant hydro corporations

created by the Conservatives when they were in power.

Boileau said the Liberals have a 10-year energy plan that includes getting rid of coal-fi red plants and pursuing green energies such as wind and solar.

Yakabuski said he was running on his record and was clear in his conviction that a change of party is needed for Ontario – and his riding – to move forward.

“Here in Ontario, we’re at a crossroads,” said Yakabuski. He said a strong economy depends, in part, on tackling the province’s large debt and creating jobs.

He also called for a reduction in “burdensome red tape” and attacked

the much-maligned Endangered Spe-cies Act.

“If you want out, to be turned around, you’ll have to take a whole new wheel,” he told the crowd. Steer-ing that wheel would be PC leader Tim Hudak.

But Liberal Boileau, a resident of McNab-Braeside, warned that Hu-dak’s plan to cut public jobs across the province would mean the loss of a thousand jobs in Renfrew County.

A software manager by profes-sion, Boileau said he is seeking of-fi ce because he believes in the spring budget presented by Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne.

He especially noted the Liberal commitment to infrastructure, like

the current major dialysis expansion at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

“There is an opportunity in our riding for growth,” said Boileau. But he sees potential beyond the urban centres.

He also identifi ed tourism po-tential. “I think we can increase the number of agricultural jobs in this riding,” he said.

On the question of Highway 17 four-laning, Yakabuski said progress has been made, but expansion will be slow, a point agreed upon by all. The NDP, however, has made a commit-ment to four-laning of Hwy. 17 from where it enters Ontario to where it exits.

Boileau recalled when Highway 17 was only two lanes from Stitts-ville to Arnprior, and the horrible accidents of the past. He said he defi -nitely wants to see more four-laning.

“It would be top of my list to fi ght for,” the Liberal candidate said. “Meanwhile we need to add more passing lanes and fi nd ways to bet-ter protect and help people to travel safely.”

COR candidate Reid bucked the trend. “I don’t believe that 417 should be four-laned,” he said, suggesting the province and municipalities can-not afford the costs associated with such expansion.

It was a theme throughout Reid’s presenta-tion as he spoke out against spiraling public salaries, stressed the importance of living with-in one’s means and raised what he called the “scandalous” e-health issue.

Reid said Ontarians wanted their govern-ment to clean up Ontario Hydro and instead it was split into four sections and how “it’s going to be an awfully hard job to rein it in.”

Reid praised his home municipality of Ad-maston-Bromley for maintaining a low tax rate compared to other Renfrew County municipali-ties and controlling municipal wages.

“I think we lead by example,” said Reid.Arnprior resident Dougherty said the NDP is

all about making life more affordable for every-one. He presented his party’s platform of lower hydro bills, a 15 per cent cut in auto insurance and reduced hospital wait times.

On the issue of child poverty, Boileau said the Liberals have a leadership plan to continue caring for children and families through more doctors, beds and infrastructure like the new di-alysis expansion at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

“The best way out of it is to have as many people as possible working,” Yakabuski said.

Dougherty agreed, but said it is not just about jobs, it is about good-paying jobs. He noted how the average Renfrew County wage is among the lowest in the province and how a once-thriving manufacturing sector has been diminished.

Live within our means: Confederation candidate

John [email protected]

News – McNab-Braeside is turning the cor-ner towards investment in affordable recreation opportunities for the entire township, Mary Campbell maintained in a statement announc-ing that she is running again for mayor in the Oct. 27 election.

Campbell offi cially became a candidate May 27, joining Aldene Styles and Tom Peckett in the race to lead council for the next four year.

In her nomination announcement, Campbell

pointed out that since 2009 the Province has been demanding municipalities increase their spending on recreation, part of Healthy Com-munities initiative.

Thanks to the recreation committee, the township is responding positively to the direc-tive, she said.

“It is hard to get past individual needs or the needs of ‘my; family and start down the road of providing those same opportunities to the broader community,” Campbell added.“It is a testament to the strength of character of the men and women serving on the recreation

Township making strides in providing recreation: mayoralty candidatecommittee that they have been able to make that shift in their thinking.

“I would also like to thank those commu-nity members who are offering to invest in fa-cilities through which we can offer affordable Sport4Life opportunities. You have no idea how much community input does to move council forward on issues.

“Thank you. McNab-Braeside needs to change, we are not a backwater, we are an in-dependent, rural municipality. We need to step up to all that being a municipality entails,” she said.

“At the same time, we need to be continually conscious of the fi nancial impact on families and the more vulnerable in our municipality looking for fi nancial solutions beyond the tax base.”

Campbell maintained that the township’s advisory committees are so important because the best people to make decisions do not all sit on council.

“We must work with the best and brightest through out our community. I have been very proud of the vision of our economic develop-ment committee, we have to revive it.”

She pointed out that the committee under-stood the need to balance residential develop-ment with commercial along the Hwy. 17 cor-ridor. The work done Dr. Bruce Firestone and Susan Anglin provided with solid ideas on how to fund development outside of the tax base, she noted.

“We need to pursue those and not shy away from projects.”

Some of the projects will provide housing, she said. “We need to direct a portion of hous-ing toward meeting retirement needs. McNab-Braeside simply needs more two bedroom/two bathroom bungalows of a density that will al-

low ‘lock it and leave’ and support services.“We need to amend our Offi cial Plan to sup-

port this kind of development, we need to up-date our policies on potable water and septic, the Township may have to become its own de-veloper. We need to solve our housing issues so that our residents are not forced to leave McNab-Braeside.”

In running for mayor, Campbell is asking two things of the residents of McNab-Braesi-de. “While you are busy pursuing those very worthy goals for yourself and your family, please continue to look over your shoulder at who might be getting left behind. How can we broaden the scope of that goal to foster greater participation among more residents?

“Secondly, please don’t stop caring for one another, because if you do, I am at a loss what to do with you or for you.”

Events – Arnprior’s physi-cian recruitment committee is gearing up for a busy summer that includes a June 14 fund-raiser and helping two new doctors settle into the commu-nity.

On Saturday, June 14, drop into the Rona parking lot for the Drive One 4 Ur Community test drive event.

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., rep-resentatives from Urban Ford will be on hand with 20 brand new Ford models for members of available for test drive.

For every test drive (to a to-tal of 300), Ford will donate $20 towards local physician recruitment.

The committee is pleased to be partnering with Urban Ford for the initiative, said physician recruitment committee co-ordi-nator Lindsay Ziebarth.

The group has been prepar-ing for the arrival of Dr. Mo-hammad Nejad in June.

“We’re very busy getting ready for Dr. Nejad,” said Zie-barth, noting his start date of June 16. “We’ve been getting his offi ce set up and ready to go.”

Nejad has confi rmed he’s going to be accepting patients through Health Care Connect.

The area’s second recent new acquisition, Dr. Jonathan

Fitzsimon, is coming from the United Kingdom. He will ar-rive in July and his offi ce ex-pected to open Aug. 1.

“We’re really just focusing on getting the physicians here and settled,” said Ziebarth.

Both doctors will be based at the primary health care centre, sharing Suite 1545.

To register with Health Care Connect, call 1-800-445-1822 or online at hcc3.hcc.moh.gov.on.ca.

Regional Health receives ‘highest’ accreditationNews - Arnprior Regional Health (ARH)

announced last week it has received the high-est level of award from Accreditation Canada.

The ‘Accreditation with Exemplary Stand-ing’ rating delighted ARH offi cials, who explained that to achieve the level of perfor-mance the organization exceeded the most rigorous requirements of the program.

Accreditation Canada is a not-for-profi t organization that has been improving health quality through rating health care facility per-formance since 1958. The organization accred-its more than 1,200 organizations representing 5,700 sites and services across Canada.

The in-depth review process assessed stan-dards across all services at Arnprior Regional Health (hospital, nursing home, assisted liv-ing and adult day program). These standards examined all aspects of health care including patient safety, governance and leadership, eth-ics, staff education, emergency preparedness, and partnerships with the community. In total 1,519 standards were assessed and ARH was in compliance with 98.4 per cent.

ARH offi cials says the accreditation pro-cess validates the impact of the organization’s ongoing efforts to improve the outcomes for patient/resident/client care, as well as improv-ing the experience of those who are in need of

care and services.“Achieving the highest level of certifi ca-

tion requires a team effort by the more than 300 staff, physicians, and volunteers who work at Arnprior Regional Health,” said ARH CEO Eric Hanna. “The award is acknowl-edgement that ARH is keeping pace with the rapidly changing healthcare environment and confi rms our commitment to quality improve-ment to deliver safe patient care.”

In comparison to the previous accreditation completed in 2010 where Arnprior Regional Health was surveyed against 1,172 standards, this year’s survey included 1,519 standards. The increase is attributed to the ongoing re-fi nement of the survey process adopted by Ac-creditation Canada.

In their report, the surveyors highlighted ARH’s many strengths and praised programs, staff, services and culture.

ARH was also recognized for three new leading practices. Accreditation Canada de-fi nes a leading practice as a noteworthy prac-tice carried out by a health service organiza-tion that demonstrates innovation and creativ-ity, and has a positive impact on services or outcomes for clients and families.

The three specifi c practices for ARH in-cluded falls prevention, physician score card

and the integrated COPD program.The surveyors went on to note: “ARH is

a highly functioning organization that has worked hard during the past three years to implement positive change, address service gaps, and improve the services it offers. The organization has made progress by focusing on its values and vision, and adhering to its strategic plan and goals.

“Arnprior Regional Health recognizes that if progress is to be made then staff engagement is key to further progress. Toward that end, the organization has done a superior job in engag-ing staff and demonstrating by example what it means to be leaders in health care.”

“Congratulations to the staff and leadership at Arnprior Regional Health for their commit-ment to quality and safety, which was evident throughout all aspects of the accreditation experience,” said Wendy Nicklin, president of Accreditation Canada. “Organizations that achieve exemplary standing, the highest level of achievement, are a model for quality im-provement.”

“The board of directors is most proud of this achievement,” noted ARH board chair Jay Johnston. “The dedicated and commit-ted team at Arnprior Regional Health is to be commended.”

A nother provincial election is upon us.

Elections are arguably one of the most exciting times for a newspaper.

There are candidates to profi le and meetings to attend, all with the goal of providing the public with the information to make a more informed decision on Thursday, June 12.

The right to vote is one that we should all take very, seriously. It’s our way to make change happen and try to make a difference.

However, participation has steadily .been on the decline since 1990.

According to Elections Ontario, voter turn-out in the last provincial election in 2011 stood at just 48.2 per cent, compared to 52.1 per cent in 2007.

Back in 1995, 63 per cent of eligible vot-ers cast their ballots. Why the falling lack of

interest? Is it the aging population who doesn’t believe their vote matters?

Or perhaps the younger generation, who has just earned the right to vote, isn’t engaged enough with provincial politics.

If it’s the latter, the problem will surely get worse and voter turnout will continue to de-cline.

With the Internet and social media, informa-tion is more readily available than ever before. So there’s no excuse for young people to be complacent about politics, whether it be fed-eral, provincial or municipal.

Those who choose not to vote shouldn’t be able to complain about the outcome afterwards either.

We are all given an amazing gift in our abil-ity to vote. Let’s make sure that on June 12, we use it.

Voting is amazing giftEDITORIAL

This area should follow Huntsville’s lead: progresssion not regresssionTo the Editor:I saw the other week (Chronicle-Guide, May

1) the list a previous council member put in outlining all of the advances, changes and im-provements that the council had made for Arn-prior, and surely, admittedly so, with the list of things done, a truly substantial amount has been done and certainly for the greater better.

But as well, I do hope that the council also needs to see that making money is also needed for the town, so we can keep up with the ex-penditures and make even further strides. Arn-prior and McNab have a great advantage being right on the river, and city slickers, cottagers will fl ock towards it, but the commercial and business development needs to signifi cantly expand and open up further. Have venues and shops more accessible and available and varied as well.

Stop talking about it, and make it happen soon, because the talk isn’t making any chang-es!

The downtown has so many closed stores, the mall is almost abandoned and all with so much potential.

I heard that a new town square was think-ing of being constructed, such as that similar to Wal-Mart and the stores surrounding in Ren-frew, but it was allegedly planned for over by the Antrim (truck stop). Not everyone has a car, so not only will available jobs be diffi cult to

access for the present vast unemployed in Arn-prior, but diffi cult to access for shoppers who like to walk and browse from the street and like to easily reach places and just stumble upon stores. They don’t necessarily like or want to have to seek or hike them out.

Daniel Street has so much potential to be a second main street for downtown, similar to Perth, not to mention Madawaska and all the property there that will surely accommodate the techno park stores built today.

It would also be available for the newly de-veloped neighbourhoods down that way and the elderly.

I heard Arnprior used to be so charming and wonderful to walk through and shop and visit, but so many building and shops are closed and abandoned and the feedback from the residents and visitors alike is discouraging and frustrat-ing for them, as the charm is fading, and very quickly unfortunately.

Coming from a small town that struggled at the start in the ‘70s and ‘80s, Huntsville On-tario, in Muskoka, I saw fi rst-hand the changes made and the impacts that benefi ted there.

Resorts were built, Toronto residents came, started making it their cottage country. These resorts expanded and other developed attrac-tions, monuments, parks and recreational sites started to rise up.

The council there reworked the aesthetics and

prettied things up, and now, it’s a town that’s on the map thanks to the G8. A university division was created, a mall was built, a techno park ex-ists, albeit not in the most convenient place I must protest, but residents from the city have made it a second home for themselves. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have a home there. The list goes on.

Arnprior and McNab have the Ottawa River and there is property with lots of potential avail-able there for resorts and outdoor recreation that would attract city residents, and relatively close compared to other towns with water ac-cess in the Valley. What a gem!

The bottom line, anyhow, is that now Hunts-ville is a booming town, progressing and de-veloping fearlessly and making better for itself and the community.

I would love, and dare, the council of Arn-prior to try and make the same strides. Again, stop talking about it, and do it! Do it though so that everyone can take advantage of it, and they will all grow along with the town, meaning the unemployed will get employed and develop as well.

Get the town to start making some money. Currently Hunstville’s economy is practically self-sustaining. Arnprior can do the same.

Cutting trees has degraded trail

To the Editor:Amongst Arnprior’s trove of wonderful

natural features, there is perhaps a little known walking trail that runs along the Madawaska River from behind the Nick Smith Centre to Highway 417.

It crosses a creek or two and has nice cedar woods and prominent rock formations. This trail is owned by the Town.

Recently we have noticed that a couple of residents at the end of Charles Street have basically clear-cut (while leaving several picturesque trees) their properties and town property, right to the river’s edge. This has largely degraded those areas of the trail.

It has also left things vulnerable to erosion since the areas cut are quite long, steep slopes going down to the river. Moreso, it looks like they may have ventured across their property line, across the path onto town property to cut down mature trees.

While they have surely made nice views for themselves, they have done nature a dis-service, as well as disregarded town folks who might enjoy a walk through this section of woods.

Humane society sometimes has good reasons to say no To the Editor:Our Humane Society is an organization

where a group of dedicated people work con-stantly to help animals which are lost, sick, in-jured, neglected, abused or given up by their owners.

We provide shelter and a safe place for them to live until their owners come to fi nd them or they are adopted into new ‘forever’ homes. They are all provided with fresh food and water and with medical care, which many have not

had in their lifetimes.Our Humane Society in Arnprior is also a

no-kill shelter. We are proud of our shelter and of our no-kill status.

Our staff works tirelessly to ensure that the animals in their care are given every opportu-nity to live long, healthy lives. Sometimes the staff’s work involves making decisions that are not easy, but they work with dedication and de-termination, to see that the animals are given every chance they can to thrive.

Our staff often deal with the harsher side of reality when there is abuse or neglect involved. Animals are nursed back from physical and/or psychological abuse by a host of dedicated vol-unteers, foster homes and behavioral experts, to again give them their right to that ‘forever’ home.

Part of the Humane Society’s mandate is to teach humane education in the schools, to teach responsible pet ownership. It is a privilege not a right, to have a companion animal, a stand we take very seriously.

Part of that responsible pet ownership is keeping the pet safe, happy and healthy.

All our animals are spayed or neutered be-fore adoption. There are far too many animals that come to us that are not spayed or neutered, and this is a major problem resulting in animal overpopulation.

We strongly believe that if you are adopting a cat or dog from our shelter, you should be doing so to give this animal a better life and, therefore, want only what is best for it.

We sometimes refuse an application for adoption because of where the animal will live or spend most of its time. We do this because of the time and effort that has been expended on the animal’s care and because of our dedication to giving the animal its best chance at a loving and safe home.

If a kitten or cat has never been outside, or has become accustomed to being an ‘indoor only’ cat, it is often terrifi ed upon suddenly be-

ing put outside, and it simply does not have the same outdoor survival skills that a cat raised outdoors may have.

While some people are fortunate enough to have their outdoor cats live long and healthy lives, statistics indicate the average lifespan of outdoor cats to be less than half that of indoor cats. Outdoor cats are more prone to accidents with moving vehicles, attacks by other animals and contracting diseases, to name only a few of the dangers they face.

The shelter has cats that have come to us that have been outside and are mostly savvy to the outside world. These cats would be a better choice for someone interested in having a cat that can go outside, but too often people want a cat that is not suitable for the lifestyle they want to offer a pet.

Allowing a dog to be adopted into a situa-tion where it will be tied up to a dog house or left constantly outside defeats our purpose of providing it with love and human companion-ship, and sometimes would put it back into the same negative circumstances it initially came to us from.

It is good to remember that the animals that come to us are looking for a second chance at a good and loving home, and, as the word ‘hu-mane’ suggests, it is up to us that they get that.

To the Editor:RE: Garbage along route

to Red Pine Bay disgusting (Chronicle-Guide, May 22).

After seeing this letter and photo in the Chronicle, I couldn’t help but wonder what could be done to improve the situation. As a third year envi-ronment and business student at the University of Waterloo, I felt compelled to respond.

Furthermore, a few months ago, I began a website dedi-cated to telling the story of sustainability, SustainED. In

my mind, it’s one thing to run a website that people may or may not read - but getting out in the community, making a difference and really showing the impact of our actions is the most important thing to pro-mote sustainability.

On Saturday, June 14 at 10 a.m., any and all are welcome to help SustainED and myself clean up a portion of Usborne Street and keep our commu-nity beautiful.

I’ve created a Facebook event to reach out to the com-

munity, which you can fi nd here.

After all, as the Greek prov-erb says: “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”

Let’s clean up Usborne Street and ensure that our children and future genera-tions can experience the same beauty as ourselves.

To the Editor:The long overdue budget

for McNab-Braeside was fi -nally passed recently, almost halfway into the year.

Given this council’s track record of imposing their own personal views, it is no sur-prise that it includes an in-crease in taxes combined with a serious drop in services, which is a hidden tax increase. No longer are McNab-Braesi-de residents afforded the same rates as Arnprior and Renfrew residents for recreation and li-brary services.

Most services offered by government are not used by the majority. A council that truly has the long-term inter-ests of its residents foremost in mind understands that. The current McNab-Braeside council does not.

Over 2,200 people signed a petition to carry on with shared library and recreation services with neighbouring towns for one more year and this was wiped out in this bud-get.

Deputy Mayor Blimkie says that ‘we got everything we wanted’. When she says ‘we’, that doesn’t mean the public.

Active families and seniors have been hung out to dry as they now pay out-of-town rates for swimming and ice pad activities.

We can’t make up for with archery and paddling pro-grams, and a batting cage.

This will have reverbera-tions in housing values in this township as active families and seniors will now be reluc-tant to move here and others are considering leaving.

But development to our po-tential has not been a priority of this council, as there has only been 15 housing starts in the last year.

Developers who are look-ing for assistance are referred to the County.

McNab-Braeside staff were too busy handling a confusing survey that didn’t even include the option that most residents wanted – a continuation of the shared agreements.

Now staff are tied up pro-cessing token $45 library card rebates, which is a poor sub-stitute for contributing a fair lump sum payment to the Arn-prior and Renfrew libraries so that they can plan properly to serve the greater community.

The numbers quoted by

Mayor Campbell don’t add up.

Saying that an agreement with Arnprior will lead to amalgamation is fear-mon-gering. We have had shared agreements for many years.

If she has found the last three years exhausting on this issue, it is because she has in-sisted on imposing her own personal views over that of her electorate.

That takes a lot of work.There is a municipal elec-

tion this October. I hope that many residents of McNab-Braeside can engage in an open and frank discussion on how to build on our strengths in this Township.

We need a new plan for a positive way forward that is respectful of the wishes of the majority, mindful of the needs of those on a fi xed income, and welcomes new neigh-bours with open arms while retaining our unique identity as a rural community.

Township council missing the big picture

spurred his involvement with politics, he’s grateful for the individuals who have infl u-enced him.

And now it’s his family that is always top of mind.

“My kids motivate me and keep me focused,” said Dougherty. “They make me want to try and make the world a little bit better of a place.”

Dougherty said his experi-ence with small business as a tradesman, background as a social worker and his political involvement are what qualify him to represent the riding at Queen’s Park. “I have a pretty well-rounded background and a pretty good education in politics,” he said.

Among the most important issues facing people in the Valley are rising hydro rates, he said.

“Hydro rates need to come down, especially for indus-tries and commercial custom-ers,” he said. “We’ve lost a lot of our industry and resources because of hydro – it’s cheap-er in Quebec.”

More affordable hydro for industries and businesses will translate into employment.

“If you bring those back you get real jobs back,” said Dougherty.

“If you start getting jobs back the Valley, things’ll start looking a lot different.”

How does the NDP plan to reduce electricity costs?

“We’ll take off the HST, take off the debt retirement

charge and amalgamate four of the fi ve energy corpora-tions,” he said. “Now we have fi ve CEOs each making seven fi gures.”

Raising the minimum wage is also high on the NDP prior-ity list and a big issue facing local voters, he said.

“There are many people in this riding making minimum wage. They need to make more money. The NDP have said they are going to raise it to $12 per hour and then tie it to infl ation.”

The Liberals have only pledged to raise it to $11/hour and the Conservatives have made no promises at all with respect to wages, he noted.

Jobs are another major is-sue facing voters.

“We need good-paying jobs,” said Dougherty.

“These million jobs Hudak is talking about are part-time minimum-wage jobs.

“People need to raise their families, go on vacations, put food on the table and not have to worry as much as they are now.”

News – Rising hydro rates, a higher minimum wage and more and better jobs are among the top concerns of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke voters, says the riding’s NDP candidate Brian Dougherty.

The licensed electrician and plumbing apprentice has

lived in Arnprior for six years. Originally from Mississauga, he and wife Kimberly have two young daughters – Sa-mantha and Sydney.

And while there is no phys-ical NDP offi ce in the riding, Dougherty is eager to hear from the public through what campaign manager Felicite Stairs has dubbed the ‘vir-tual offi ce’, which includes

four phones, two websites and Facebook and Twitter accounts. Website addresses include Renfrewndp.ca and Briandougherty.ca.

Dougherty’s inspiration has come from a variety of sourc-es over the years. From his boss during college who led him into the social work fi eld to long-time Northern Ontario NDP MPP Gilles Bisson, who

Dougherty to Yakabuski: Which 934 will lose jobs here?News – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke NDP

candidate Brian Dougherty has joined a prov-ince-wide campaign asking questions about Conservative leader Tim Hudak’s plan to “fi re” 100,000 public service workers.

As part of the campaign, his is asking Con-servative candidate John Yakabuski which em-ployees would be fi red if his party wins.

Dougherty said that Hudak’s plan to fi re 100,000 people, means 934 jobs in each of 107 ridings in the province will be cut should Yaka-buski’s party get elected.

“The 934 families who depend on those jobs here have a right to know: Who would a Con-

servative government fi re in Renfrew-Nipiss-ing-Pembroke?” asked Dougherty.

“How many fi refi ghters, road workers, edu-cational assistants and teachers are going to lose their jobs here.” Those families are wondering whether their breadwinners are targeted to join the unemployment line, Dougherty said.

“Unlike Hudak, Andrea Horwath and the Ontario NDP have a plan to create local jobs by rewarding employers for every new job they create with a tax credit,” he said.

“New Democrats will keep manufacturers in Ontario by providing tax credits when they in-vest in their local operations.”

News – More jobs and reli-able infrastructure are needed in the riding, says Renfrew-Nipiss-ing-Pembroke Liberal candidate Rod Boileau.

And, if elected, he promises to be aware of all the facts be-fore making any rash decisions.

Boileau and his wife Whitney have two teenage sons, Alex and Noah and a one-year-old daugh-ter, Isabelle.

He has worked in the high tech sector for more than 20 years and has spent more than 12 years in management, hu-man resources and project lead-ership.

The native of Cornwall works in Kanata and came to the Arn-prior area in 1994 to be close to his high tech job.

His foray into politics is spurred by his experience as a Liberal party volunteer.

“I’d been volunteering at the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke federal Liberal executive for over a year. I was interested in learning more about politics and getting involved,” said Boileau.

He aims to be the type of per-son who not only identifi es the problem, but comes armed with solutions.

“I don’t want to be an arm-chair politician that throws stones. When I see a problem, I want be actively involved in helping to solve it.”

Among the issues most im-portant to local constituents is employment, he said.

“We have to attract higher paying jobs so that people don’t have to commute.”

‘WE NEED TO BRING JOBS’

“This is one of the most im-

poverished ridings in Ontario. We need to bring jobs and so-lidify what we have.”

Existing industry, in Arnpri-or, Chalk River and other areas of the riding, needs to be sup-ported and protected, he said.

“It’s a huge part of our popu-lation. If we were to lose that it would be devastating,” said Boileau.

Another pressing matter is Highway 17. “We need a safe, reliable highway all the way up to Petawawa and beyond,” he said.

“We need infrastructure to at-tract more business and higher paying jobs.”

Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne’s pension plan is much needed, especially locally, he said.

“Most of our riding needs it – only 35 per cent have work

Infrastructure, jobs are priorities: Boileau

pensions and can they be assured that will be there when they need it?” said Boileau.

“It’s brave leadership to bite that bullet and say, ‘Hey we want to improve that.’”

He’s concerned for those who would be affected by the job cuts proposed by PC leader Tim Hudak.

“Those are 100,000 high-paying jobs. With the

ecosystem around it, that is huge,” said Boileau.

In terms of political inspiration, it’s the likes of Trudeau, Chretien and Mulroney from which he draws.

His work mentors have provided support, as well.

“I’ve had some really good vice-presidents in high tech companies who have helped mould who I am today,” said Boileau.

Heart and Stroke encourages candidates to ‘go healthy’News – During the Ontario election the

Heart and Stroke Foundation is running a Healthy Candidates campaign (Healthy-Candidates.ca) to encourage all candidates to “go healthy” this election.

This means candidates must agree to the

Healthy Candidate commitment to have the government invest more to promote and support better health in Ontario.

The foundation has congratulated Ren-frew-Nipissing-Pembroke candidates John Yakabuski, Brian Dougherty and Benjamin

Wright for so far pledging to ‘go healthy’.“Heart and Stroke congratulates each of

these candidates who’ve pledged to sup-port better health in Ontario, now and in the future,” said Foundation CEO Tom McAl-lister.

News - John Yakabuski would welcome an early 57th-birthday gift by being elected the Renfrew-Nipiss-ing-Pembroke MPP for a fourth straight term.

Yakabuski was born just four days after John Diefen-baker’s election as Canadian prime minister on June 10, 1957. It was such a proud moment for parents Doreen and Paul Yakabuski that their son was named after the country’s new leader.

Yakabuski’s dad went on, after serving about a decade on Barry’s Bay council, to be the Renfrew South MPP from 1963 until his death in 1987.

Yakabuski, who calls his dad his hero and mentor for his commitment and com-passion to the job, is also the cousin of Sean Conway who was the Renfrew North or Renfrew-Nipissing-Pem-broke MPP for 28 years.

Yakabuski had a tough battle to reach Queen’s Park, when he defeated Liberal Derek Nighbor in 2003 by just over 600 votes.

A landslide winner in 2007 and 2010, Yakabuski says it will take more than strong political bloodlines to win again.

This time, the 6-foot-3 politician and longtime busi-ness owner says he’s running on his own accomplishments, as well as the attributes of leader Tim Hudak and the

Progressive Conservative platform.

Yakabuski says the work he has done to lobby suc-

cessfully for the new dialysis centre coming to Renfrew Victoria Hospital and exten-sion of Hwy. 417 into the county are noteworthy.

But he says work he and his offi ce staff have done to address constituents’ needs on a day-to-day basis is one of the strongest reasons he has been twice re-elected.

Yakabuski says Hudak’s message has not always been projected effectively, but he suggests that has changed with the help of strong poli-cies.

Those include plans to reduce public sector jobs over the next four years by 100,000, with the help of attrition, and reduction of Ontario’s energy costs by eliminating the Ontario

Power Authority, expensive wind and solar subsidies, and debt-retirement charges on Hydro One bills.

PLAN FOR HYDRO

He said his party will ne-gotiate purchase-and-sale agreements.

Instead of generating ex-pensive power, the agree-ments would allow the prov-ince to buy power cheaper from neighbouring jurisdic-tions such as Quebec, Mani-toba or New York.

He says the urban-rural divide in Ontario has to end, by addressing elements of the new Endangered Species Act that impede economic development.

Yakabuski says he also

PC candidate John Yaka-buski of Barry’s Bay.

likes his leader, partly because he’s providing the straight goods.

“He is not sugar-coating it,” said Yakabuski.

“He is not pretending that somehow Ontario can eliminate a $12.5-billion defi cit and reduce a $289-billion debt that the Liberals have left us with … He’s not pretending that can actually happen without taking some measures that some people might fi nd painful.”

News – For the fi rst time in its 60-year history, the Ontario Provincial Police Association (OPPA) has in-volved itself in a provincial election.

The association, which represents front-line OPP offi cers in the prov-ince, has launched two 15-second advertisements slamming Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak’s “as-sault” on their collective agreements.

The advertisements’ message boils down to: “We’re here for you. Who’s Tim Hudak here for?”

The OPPA says it is not endors-ing the Liberals or the NDP and has a good relationship with many PC MPS, but “we just don’t want this Conserva-tive as premier.”

The release drew quick response from the OPP, who issued its own statement that “it does not, in any way, support this OPPA campaign.”

The OPPA is an independent asso-ciation which does not report to, and is not controlled by, the OPP, it stressed.

The PCs questioned whether police associations should be involved in partisan politics, especially when they are currently investigating the Liberal government.

News - Ben Wright is a resident of Ot-tawa, but has always called the Valley, and, more specifi cally, Calabogie and the Mada-waska River, home.

He recently completed studies in history, languages and politics at the University of Ottawa, and has sights set on teachers’ col-lege. “I am running for the Green Party in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke because our party has many fantastic, common-sense ideas and I believe it is time people start hearing about them,” Wright said.

“Everyone knows that the Green Party stands for the environment, but few know that we stand for all Ontarians with empha-sis on fairness, honesty and integrity.”

Wright, 26, has voted for many differ-ent parties for different reasons and said he often doesn’t know whether to vote for the platform, the candidate or the party specifi -cally.

“I will not further preach on environ-mental concerns,” said Wright, because he said everyone knows where the Green Party stands.

“I look to the future. I look to strong lo-cal communities that support each other and provide the type of environment where everyone can thrive,” he said.

“The Green Party is a friend of small businesses that provides quality employ-ment, experience and service. I fi nd it hard to believe that cutting corporate taxes and

public service will provide the type of meaningful employment and service Ontar-ians need.

We need to invest in infrastructure for employment reasons, for logistic reasons and for common sense reasons,” he added.

“We need to invest in the future with em-phasis on youth poverty, overall education and youth employment turning our young people into honest, hard-working citizens that will, in turn, give back.”

Wright said people need to invest in their homes by making them more effi cient, thus saving everyone on bills, increasing the val-ue of homes and stimulating the economy in the process.

“The truth is that I am Green, like the name of my party,” Wright said.

“I heard of an opportunity with the Green Party through a friend, to get involved, and I fi gured it was time to give back to a commu-nity that has given me so much. If a single Green MPP is elected to Queen’s Park that person would serve as a voice of caution, reason and common sense for all.”

Wright said he’d be honoured to be the voice of his home riding of Renfrew-Nipiss-ing-Pembroke.

“I would dedicate myself completely to their service and to their benefi t. I fi nd that even the city of Ottawa has a hard time get-ting the attention of Toronto.

“If I was to be elected and the Green were to win the seat, all of Ontario would hear the voice of common sense, reason and honesty from Renfrew Nipissing Pem-

Wright candidate for the Green PartyNews - A new public

opinion poll confi rms al-most 9 of 10 Ontarians (87.9 per cent) feel that health care is an important issue to them personally, says a news release Tues-day from the Ontario Med-ical Association (OMA).

Further, more than two thirds of Ontarians (67.6 per cent) say a provincial party with a strong plat-form on health care would have an impact on whether they will vote or not for a party.

“Ontarians value our

publicly-funded health care system. Yet there’s been little meaningful de-bate in the election about health care and each par-ty’s plans for improving access to care and ensur-ing the system’s sustain-ability,” said OMA presi-dent Dr. Ved Tandan.

“Today’s poll sends a clear message to the lead-ers that Ontarians need to hear more about health care before they head to the polls and elect a new government,” continued Tandan.

Renovating your home is a time consuming and stressful venture. Having your dream home takes a lot of effort and professionalism, and when you look for a contractor to deliver, the first priority on your mind should be top quality. The professionals of Sandy Beach Cabinetry focus exclusively on quality craftsmanship.

Serving the Ottawa area for over 20 years, Sandy Beach Cabinetry hand pick the materials they work with and build each piece separately. Nothing shows more attention to detail and the demonstration of technical precision than designing cabinets by hand. Making spaces that are a reflection of our way of life need careful planning, and our team at

Sandy Beach have all the advantages of a big company, such as three dimensional computer drawings, without long waiting times and expensive costs . Our staff will take the time to listen to you, learn your lifestyle and tastes, and how your time uses. This process will let us create your ideal home renovations. Our team shunned the process of mass produced cabinetry in favour of hand designed products to show the level of craftsmanship their proud of.

Building the best quality cabinetry and furniture is our staple, and this begins with our interior designer Sylvie Choquette. She uses her expertise to bring the design elements and alternative solutions to make sure a space reflects your preferences. She’s always up to date on the latest trends that also fit a more moderate budget. At Sandy Beach Cabinetry, we believe in creating awareness and respect for each project, which is why we label by hand your name on every item we build as opposed to just sticking on a production number. You’ll find we make every effort to give you the quality you deserve!

Pro-life is independent’s No. 1 issueSteve [email protected]

News - “He’s a really stand-up guy and I really like what he’s doing,” said Beckwith-Smith, 61, of John Yakabuski, the Progressive Conservative candidate who’s seeking re-election.

But that’s not enough for Beckwith-Smith, who says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke deserves an independent can-didate who can positively respond to the needs of the people.

If Yakabuski ran as an in-dependent, the Combermere-area resident says he’d with-draw his own candidacy. But he says politicians represent their political parties and not the people.

Beckwith-Smith, who was born in Rochester, N.Y., and moved to Combermere as a teenager, graduated from the same secondary school as Yakabuski, Madawaska Val-ley District High School in nearby Barry’s Bay.

It was a culture shock at fi rst, coming to Renfrew County, but he returned after working away and seeing the world as an air fl ight attendant.

“I love the nature and I nev-er stopped loving it,” he says of the area.

Living a few kilometres from Combermere, on a quiet

country road, he says he’ll run his own campaign on two ma-jor issues.

The fi rst is a pro-life, anti-abortion stance. The second is the establishment of oil revenue dividend cheques for Canadians.

“I got to see the entire world, every continent, meet-ing people and understanding people, and hearing what their politics and culture were,” he explained.

Travelling, he says, has given him the chance to view problems in a different light, without trying the same ap-proach for every solution.

Meanwhile, he says his pro-life stance is not rooted in the

Roman Catholic church.“It comes from me as a

man, from my masculinity. I’m more than one religion,” explained Beckwith-Smith.

“Some say people say it’s a woman’s body (and for her to choose), but it’s a man’s sperm separate in itself and a female egg separate in itself, then the two become a human life.”

He supported the Canadian Alliance Party for its pro-life stance, but says hopes for ad-vancement on that issue died when Alliance amalgamated with the federal Conservative Party.

His goal is to stop all legal abortions in the Province of Ontario.

His second campaign issue is a call for oil revenue divi-dend cheques for all Canadi-ans, somewhat like the federal gas tax payments for each Ca-nadian municipality.

Beckwith-Smith’s interests include riding horses and mo-torcycles, enjoying the out-doors, and making a living through freelance photogra-phy and the sale of anti-cancer Chaga medicinal mushrooms.

His efforts to support so-cial-justice issues include ww.photoreward.com, where he encourages people to post photos of distracted drivers so they can be submitted to the appropriate insurance com-pany.

Confederation of Regions candidate runs for sixth time in this areaPeter [email protected]

News - Murray Reid is running in his sixth election.

The Admaston-Bromley plumber, farmer and former musician is running his fourth provincial campaign. He had also run twice feder-ally.

The Confederation of Regions (COR) Party representative is one of fi ve candidates running in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke for the June 12 elec-tion.

Reid addressed a number of issues in-volving his campaign.

“I’ve talked to many different busi-nessmen, and they’ve experienced that the students coming out of the schools are not versed in writing,” Reid said.

Right from Grade 1 through Grade 12, he

says writing, spelling and math skills need to be improved.

“There’s no way they (students) should be able to get out of that,” Reid said. “They (teachers) should be teaching the basics.”

“I’m adding my voice of discontent with the Liberal Gov-ernment’s Green En-ergy Act.”

Reid said the cost

of electricity is de-pleting businesses and driving them out of Ontario. The hydro cost is also making it tough for homeown-ers, he added.

Another issue is species at risk, which is just bogus data, Reid said.

As an example, he said data indicates blandings turtles are endangered.

“Now, there are so many blandings turtles, they are road kill.”

Reid has picked them up off the high-way and taken them to his own pond.

Forced bilingual-ism is another issue, but Reid admits, “It hasn’t been pushed too much here, (not) like it used to.”

One reason why Reid is running, and why he did last elec-tion also, is to get an important message across.

Reid is critical of people who pollute water sources will-fully with different chemicals, and criti-cal of the Ministry of Environment for condoning it. Specifi -cally, softeners being taken out of septics and discharged into the ground contami-nate wells.

“Don’t do it,” he stressed.

Salt, chlorine, alum and hydrogen perox-ide are among pol-lutants Reid said the MoE should legislate people from putting in ground water.

“Nothing goes with salt,” Reid said.

The COR party, with libertarian ideals, would also rescind the government-leg-islated Clean Water Act which attacks rural values, while not prosecuting those who actually pollute, namely towns and cit-ies, Reid added.

Lifestyle - Of no surprise, the more time one spends in the wild the more one sees.

Every walk produces encounters with new plants and animals, and un-forgettable natural history moments unfold before your eyes. The latter might involve an interaction between animal and plants, such as a pollinator

busily working a fl ower, or an interac-tion between two animals. Recently it was the latter that I was privy to.

The encounter took place along the Achray Road in eastern Algonquin Park. Along that road, which leads to beautiful Grand Lake, lies a majestic section of mature hardwood forest, a rather uncommon habitat in pine-dominated eastern Algonquin.

Here, American Beech adorned with scarred claw marks of Black Bears (which climbed the trees to harvest beechnuts) are scattered among towering Sugar Maples and Yellow Birches.

When birding in eastern Algon-quin, I usually stop at this location and look for White-breasted Nut-hatches and Downy Woodpeckers. If none are to be seen, I usually give a few Barred Owl calls to entice them to appear.

Interestingly, nuthatches and woodpeckers are drawn to those sounds. Of no surprise, three Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, a Downy Wood-pecker, and a Hairy Woodpecker soon let their presence be known.

To our surprise (I was with my friend Rory MacKay), two Barred Owls answered back. They called and soon fl ew into view, all the time ut-tering a cacophony of wild calls that would seem equally appropriate in a jungle setting.

Several times during the owl alle-gro, a Red-tailed Hawk soared over-head. Red-tails are not common in Al-gonquin for they prefer a mixture of woods and open spaces, not continu-ous forest as is found through much of the Park. Their smaller cousin, the Broad-winged Hawk, is the most common hawk in that forest. But this section of forest had been logged in recent years, so the perhaps the habi-tat had been altered suffi ciently for the Red-tail to use. Regardless, the hawk appeared only to be having a leisurely fl y over the forest.

The owls fl ew across the road where they continued to call. Motion above caught my eye and I looked up to see the Red-tailed Hawk shooting down like a bullet, its wings semi-closed as it entered the canopy. It went straight for one of the Barred Owls, which frantically fl ew from its perch.The owl made a few desperate aerial manoeuvres with the speed-ing hawk hot on its tail, talons out-stretched. I was sure we were going to be witness to a kill.

Both birds quickly disappeared from view, but Rory thought the owl had escaped. The lone owl soon re-sumed calling. Ten long minutes passed and it was the only owl to be heard. Then from nearby came a response from the other owl! It re-joined its mate and the pair broke into a wild chorus, seeming to celebrate the one’s narrow escape.

Red-tailed Hawks primarily eat small- to medium-sized mammals, and reptiles, but sometimes eat birds. However, owls aren’t usually on their menu and although the encounter was a close one, Barred Owls currently remain off it!

Renfrew County rises to Lanark’s fi tness challengeNews – Renfrew County

has again accepted a Lanark County fi tness challenge.

For the second straight year Lanark issued a dare to Ren-frew County to participate in the Silver Chain challenge and Renfrew County agreed.

The challenge is a friendly rivalry with the counties com-peting to log the most kilome-ters biked and walked in June.

With the support of partners the Ottawa Heart Institute, Physical Activity Network (PAN-RC), Renfrew County

and District Health Unit, Leeds Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, Missis-sippi Mills Bicycle Month, and the Province of Ontario, organizers hope to inspire a friendly challenge that will lead to an improved quality of

life for their communities. “The Silver Chain Chal-

lenge promotes happier, healthier communities,” said Renfrew County Warden Pe-ter Emon. “It’s a great way for residents of Renfrew County to engage in a friendly com-petition while making active transportation a part of their regular routine in a safe and easy manner.”

“Our goal is to create healthier communities where all children, families and se-niors have safe and acces-sible spaces to walk and bike more,” added Shawna Bab-cock, chair of the Physical Activity Network for Renfrew

County. “Active communities are important for the health and well-being of our young-est population and for a higher and healthier quality of life as we get older.”

The Silver Chain Challenge kicked off with two events. First, the Eastern Ontario Ac-tive Transportation Summit was held May 28-29 in Mis-sissippi Mills at the Old Al-monte Town Hall. During the Summit, the Warden’s Plate was presented to the Silver Chain 2013 Champion Lanark County.

On Sunday, June 1, in White Lake there was an 8-km bike/walk/run from White Lake to

Burnstown, the second in the Get Here from There series.

The County of Renfrew and Lanark County Councils took part in a weight loss challenge in 2011 and 2012, and the fi rst Silver Chain Challenge in 2013. Both councils continue to encourage their residents to make healthy lifestyle choic-es, and get out and experience Active Transportation in their own communities.

To fi nd out more informa-tion and track your kilometers for the Silver Chain Challenge, visit www.silverchainchal-lenge.ca to register for free. The competition runs June 1 to 30.

Dealership funds CN trail upgradesNews - George Jackson Toyota has donated

$5,000 to upgrade and beautify the CN trail in Horton.

This six-kilometre segment of the trail runs from the Renfrew line to Yantha Road, at the border of McNab-Braeside.

In 2013, the Whitewater Sno-Goers Associa-tion successfully applied for a grant to upgrade the sections of the CN trail that are within Hor-ton’s boundaries.

“Horton Township is very appreciative of their efforts and is very fortunate to have these members take an interest in upgrading the trail,”

said a Horton council news release. The recent contribution from George Jack-

son Toyota, which opened its new facility in Horton four years ago, will be used along with the grant money for signifi cant trail upgrades.

Horton public works staff will provide la-bour to help the Whitewater Sno-Goers carry out general trail maintenance.

This includes tree removal, brushing back of the trail, installation of gate structures at each road intersection, and minor work on approach-es to bridges. There are also township plans to install benches and picnic tables for rest stops.

News – In its continuing efforts to ensure all town residents are fi re safe, the Arnprior fi re department is launching a ‘Summer Safety Campaign ‘

The campaign is designed to remind town residents of essential safety tips to help everyone have a safe and en-joyable summer.

This month’s campaign topic is fi reworks safety.

To minimize the risk of fi re and burn injury, the Of-fi ce of the Fire Marshal rec-ommends attending public fi reworks displays hosted by a municipality or other responsible organization. If you still choose to have a family fi reworks or an infor-mal neighbourhood display, check with the municipality about local bylaws regarding the use of fi reworks within the town.

Here are some important safety tips to be followed:

• Appoint a responsible person to be in charge. Only adults who are aware of the hazards and essential safety precautions should handle and discharge fi reworks.

• Carefully read and fol-low the label directions on

fi reworks packaging. • Always keep a water

hose or pail of water close by when discharging fi reworks.

• Discharge fi reworks well away from combustible ma-terials like buildings, trees and dry grass.

• Keep onlookers a safe distance away, upwind from the area where fi reworks are discharged.

• Light only one fi rework at a time and only when they are on the ground. Never try to light a fi rework in your hand or re-light dud fi re-works. For dud fi reworks, it is best to wait 30 minutes and soak them in a bucket of water. Dispose of them in a metal container.

• Discharge fi reworks only if wind conditions do not cre-ate a safety hazard.

• Keep sparklers away from children. Sparklers burn extremely hot and can ignite clothing, cause blindness and result in severe burns. As the sparkler wire remains hot for some minutes after burnout, it should be immediately soaked in water to avoid in-jury.

• If someone gets burned, run cool water over the

wound for three to fi ve min-utes and seek medical atten-tion, if necessary.

SPARKLER INJURIES

According to Canada Safe-ty Council, in May 1998 the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Pro-gram (CHIRPP) examined its data base for injuries related to fi reworks or fi recrackers. CHIRPP data comes from 10 children’s hospitals and six general hospitals across Cana-da. Its data base contained 175 fi re-works-related injuries.

Most people are not aware that sparklers are also respon-sible for a substantial amount of legal fi rework-related in-juries each year. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s statistics from the Fourth of July festivities in 2003 indicated that sparklers were involved in 57 per cent of fi reworks injuries sustained by children under fi ve years of age.

People should be aware of the potential hazard involved with handling sparklers and take precautionary measures so as not to expose their chil-dren to undue risk.

News – The OPP reports that a home on Ottawa Street in Arnprior was broken into overnight Saturday, May 24.

A door was kicked in and a PS3 game was stolen. There is a suspect and OPP Constable Mark Young is investigating.

It was one of 245 calls re-sponded to by the Renfrew-Arnprior Detachment of the OPP last week.

In another incident, a 29-year-old man is facing charges after robbing a con-venience store in Renfrew on

Monday, May 26. At about 1:45 a.m., a man entered the Mac’s Milk/Shell Station at 376 Raglan St.

The man had covered his face and was brandishing an edged weapon. He robbed the lone clerk of cash and ciga-rettes. He fl ed the store on foot and police were notifi ed.

A short time later police located and arrested a man for the robbery. A search warrant was executed at a home in Renfrew and stolen property was recovered.

The suspect was charged with robbery with a weapon, wearing a disguise during the commission of an offence, as-sault with a weapon, posses-sion of a weapon for a danger-ous purpose and two counts of breach of probation.

Local OPP offi cers also responded to three domes-tic disputes during the past week. One man was charged with assault, and one woman was charged with assault with a weapon and domestic mis-chief.

News – The Arnprior Mall is having trouble again with people dumping garbage behind the shopping centre.

In an attempt to deter dumpers, the mall has installed cameras in the back to watch over the area most popular with offenders.

Mall manager Howie Lebrun stresses that it is illegal to dump trash on the shopping centre lot.

“We are not a dump site,” he said. “Violators will be charged or fi ned or

both.”

Fire chief hanging up boots after 45 yearsTiff any [email protected]

Community – In the 1960s Art Brown used to wake up his dad to go follow fi re trucks.

Later. he rode his bike to the station when he heard the sirens and helped clean up the station.

Now 45 years later, Brown is the fi re chief for Mississippi Mills and will be retiring on June 27.

“When I hear the sirens I still get the adrenaline rush,” said Brown. “It’s going to be hard to break old habits.”

Brown wanted to become a fi re-fi ghter to help people. He says that community service runs in the family as both his brother George and late sister June Dalgity have also been fi x-tures in the area.

“It’s just something I have always enjoyed,” said Brown.

“Helping the community is some-thing that runs in my blood. I will defi -nitely miss it. I was here to help and it didn’t matter who it was.”

He started with the Almonte de-partment in 1969, after working for Patterson’s in Almonte where he used his vacation to take courses at the Ontario Fire College in Gravenhurst. He was with the department when Al-monte joined the Ramsay department in 1998, during the amalgamation, and became chief that year.

When asked what he will miss the most, his answered focused on the re-lationships he has built over the years.

“The guys, I’ll miss them the most. It’s like a big family, you get so close,” said Brown. “We’ve all had children and some children are now on the de-partment, it’s the next generation.”

Brown says the biggest enjoyment of the job has been teaching children about fi re prevention. He remembered one time when after a house fi re the children helped the parents get out, he asked the kids how they knew what to do. They said it was his teaching.

“That’s rewarding,” he said with a large smile on his face.

Another time he responded to a false carbon monoxide alarm, when the father approached him after to chat with his young son because he told the family what to do after hearing one of Brown’s school presentation only two days earlier.

“Things like that make you feel good,” said Brown. “We are here to serve the public, I don’t care what role that is, I’m here to serve the public. Lot’s of things we do are not fi re re-lated but just serving the public.”

He continues to serve in many ways, including a phone call he received three weeks ago on the weekend.

“There was a kitten who had been up a tree for three days. I just phoned another guy and we went out. I don’t know how many times I’ve done that, I’ve been scratched too,” he said.

EQUIPMENT CHANGES

Brown reminisces that a lot of things have changed over the years including the introduction of new equipment.

In the 1970s, Almonte was the fi rst department in Lanark County to have an aerial ladder truck.

Mississippi Mills fi re chief Art Brown is hanging up his hat this month after 45 years as a fi refi ghter. Above, Brown sits in Almonte’s fi rst water pumper truck from 1934 (that he helped to restore), and looks over some old photos, including a clipping from the 1980 Gazette newspaper when he was named fi refi ghter of the year.

“We went to Smiths Falls, Arnprior, wherev-er it was needed, we helped out,” Brown said.

The department was also the fi rst in the area to have a tandem water tanker and equipment, which they helped build at the station.

When he started, there were no breathing ap-paratuses either.

“That’s one of the most important pieces of equipment today,” Brown noted.

Another ‘jump forward’ was the addition of the radio and pager systems over 35 years ago.

“It’s quite a difference, before the fi rst truck got a note and knew where they were going and you wanted to stay close,” he said.

NEXT STEPS

Brown hopes to continue to be involved in

the community and has a few different projects he intends to tackle.

“I’m going to do what I want to do, I got to keep busy!” he remarked.

The Town of Mississippi Mills was expected to make a decision on a new chief on Tuesday and Brown has some advice for whoever takes over his position.

“Be involved in the community,” said Brown. “You have to enjoy your job. I didn’t consider this a job, no one forced me, and I’ve really enjoyed it.”

A retirement party for Brown is set for this Saturday, June 7 at 7 p.m. at the Almonte Community Centre at 182 Bridge St.

“It will be emotional,” said Brown of the party. “I’ve met a lot of people over the years and the friendships I’ve made, I will never forget. The support people gives you makes you feel good.”

Tickets for the party can be bought for $5 from Missis-sippi Mills fi refi ghters or at the town municipal offi ces. There will be a light lunch and entertainment. For more information, call 613-256-2064.

Deputy fi re chief Bob Machan says it hasn’t sunk in that he is leaving.

“It will hit home later when he is not here,” said Mach-an. “He knows everyone and everywhere in town, we real-ly lean on him. He’s really passionate and brings everyone together. He’s been a good chief.”

Sports - The Madawaska Golf Club is back in full swing after a long winter of snow, ice and cold weather.

The season had a bit of a late start, but the course is in exceptional condition and Martyn Munro and his staff have been very busy keep-ing ahead of the grass and cleaning up the win-ter debris.

Some major changes include the removal of some of the large poplar trees on the right side of fairway #3 and the right side of the 16th green, which has really improved the playabil-ity of both holes.

Jumpstart with Arnprior Canadian TireEach year the annual Jumpstart program takes place at Canadian Tires across Canada, including the Arnprior store. Last year, the local program supported the theme of giv-ing kids a sporting chance by providing fi nancial support for families whose children would normally be unable to participate in organized sport. The Arnprior program, which helped 120 youth in 2013, hopes for similar success this year. Staff and volun-teers helped stage Saturday’s showcase whose activities included candy sales, a bounce castle and interaction with members of the Arnprior Fire Department. Above, fi refi ght-er James Van’t Slot and six-year-old Austin Broadbent try their luck from the basketball free-throw line. Below, Jumpstart volunteer Jessica Dazé is joined on the bounce castle, from left, by Ryan Hammond, Emma Desjardins and Austin Broadbent.

Sports - On May 20, the board of directors of the Arnpri-or Curling Club elected Steve Theriault as new president to replace Don Palmer.

Theriault and his wife Carol are formerly from Stittsville. He retired from IBM as a proj-ect manager and wanted to live in the country. The couple set-tled for the shores of the Mada-waska River to build their retire-ment home.

Steve Theriault has been

an active curler since his high school days and has played in several of the city’s curling clubs.

Asked what he sees as objec-tives during his tenure, he said that increasing membership and addressing an aging infrastruc-ture are the primary items to be addressed.

WARM WELCOME

He was also asked what at-

tracted him and his wife to the Arnprior Curling Club.

His answer was that the club is very welcoming to new mem-bers and a great social club. It was a means to get to know peo-ple in the area especially since they were new to the commu-nity, he noted.

WELL WISHES

The club wishes him well in his capacity as president.

Also elected to the board were Keith Maclean and Doug Algiers.

Sports – The Arnprior District High School Redmen alumni are reaching out to young basketball players looking for some-thing to do this summer.

Sports - The Galetta Bowls open house drew a handful of people interested in trying the sport for the fi rst time on May 28.

Pam Carriere, of Dunrobin, and Woodlawn’s Marie Dupius attended the event and tried their hand at rolling the bowls towards the white jack. They both said they found it interesting, and that it was a good form of exercise.

Malcolm Rose, of Arnprior and originally from Newcastle, England, is a competitive bowler with the club. He advised them to soak in some hot water that night because they’d been using muscles that don’t always see action.

Michelle Lalande drove from Arnprior with her father Wally Lamoureux to the open house in West Carleton to give the sport a try and as an excuse to get out of the house. Lalande said she was enjoying it so much that she was consider-ing signing up herself.

“There’s so much strategy to the game, it’s so interesting,” said fi ve-time national champion-ship competitor David Jefferies.

He said, while umpiring for the Canadian National Junior championship in Ottawa a few years ago, a young competitor was asked why he lawn bowled.

The young man answered that he “plays hockey, football and soccer and lawn bowling is the most challenging of them all,” said Jef-

feries. The club, which plays on the Donald MacH-

ardy Green at 119 Darwin St. in Galetta, is aim-ing to grow its membership base this year. So far, they have around 40 signed up, including one who lives in Arizona but plays on the Ca-nadian national team. “We’re trying to grow,” said Jefferies. “People are always welcome to come try.”

The club has an active recreational and competitive program, as well as social activi-ties throughout the season. The members bowl Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 6:30, and on Friday mornings at 10. People interested in trying lawn bowling are asked to contact Bob Smith at 613-622-1586. No experi-ence or equipment are necessary. Galetta Bowls will provide free coaching.

All ages 9 to 90 are welcome.Coming up for the Galetta Bowls Club are a

number of tournaments to which spectators are welcome:

• Mixed pairs: MacHardy/Waterside Cup on June 9

• District pairs: winners to compete in pro-vincials, on June 21 and 22

• Open triples: Russell/Island View Cup on July 7

• Mixed fours: Sadle Waterside Cup on Aug. 11

Visit lawnbowls.galettaca.org or trybowls.ca.

Sports – The Arnprior District High School se-nior girls rugby team came within a hair of qual-ifying for the Ontario championship last week.The Redmen fell 15-13 to Regiopolis Notre Dame (RND) in the AAA EOSSAA Girls Rugby championship fi nal May 26 in Kingston. Notre Dame advanced to AAA/AAAA OFSAA championship in Hamilton.

ADSH was clinging to a 13-12 lead late in the match before RND kicked the match win-ning penalty with about seven minutes to play.

Coach Glenn Wallace reports the fi nal was a very physical game and one in which he felt ADHS held the advantage in ball handling and

attacking ability. “Unfortunately, our discipline (we took far too many penalties and were hit with a 10-minute yellow card as well) and de-fence was simply not up to our usual standard,” he said.

“Discipline and defence are absolutely es-sential in hard fought games and we simply weren’t good enough in these areas.”

However, that was partly due to the youth of the Redmen. “Given that only one player from the entire roster graduates this year, the future is bright for this group and we’ll be looking to return to OFSAA form next year,” said Wallace of his Renfrew County champions.

Redmen edged out in Eastern Ontario rugby championship

Editor’s note: The following was submitted by former Arnprior resi-dent Jennilea Hortop who has com-pleted a charity bicycle ride through Africa.

News - The Tour D’Afrique: 120 days, nine countries, and 12,000 kilo-metres by bicycle.

When I saw this experience adver-tised in a travel book. I knew that I had to do it. When and how, were my next two thoughts.

Over the December break in 2013, I discussed the idea with my family and friends and decided, with their support, that I would take a year off from teaching and sign up to com-plete the 2014 Tour D’Afrique.

Besides my love for Africa and my bicycle, part of my desire to go on this adventure was to raise money for Peace Matunda School and Orphan-age in Arusha, Tanzania. I fi rst met the children at Peace Matunda in June 2009, and instantly fell in love with their warmth and energy.

Knowing that the Peace Matunda children were growing up and would need to attend secondary school, I realized they would need fi nancial support. I decided to make it my goal to raise one U.S .dollar for every ki-lometre of my journey down to Cape Town.

All riders started in Khartoum, Su-dan. Excited and nervous cyclists met at the Acropole hotel for our fi rst of 120 rider meetings.

Our tour director explained what the next four months of riding through rural East Africa entailed. Heat, sand, road conditions both paved and un-paved, locals, camp life, animals, rain, border crossings, food and water

rations, the list continued.At no point during the meeting did

I question what I had signed up for. I felt totally ready to embark on this incredible adventure.

Over the course of four months we experienced all that was explained and much more.

While riding through diverse land-scapes, we saw and experienced local people and culture in its purest form. Children and adults were carrying on in their daily lives as a group of 30+ cyclists whizzed through their vil-lage.

Road construction, working their land, selling items in a shop, herd-ing animals, local people would of-ten stop, stare and yell, “Where you go?”

Many riders would take a break from their saddle for a coke and con-versation with whoever was around to chat. Although a language barrier often prevented any serious discus-sion, the message came through that we were headed down to Cape Town, South Africa and yes we were actu-ally riding our bikes in order to get there.

I arrived in Cape Town on May 10 exhausted but excited about the journey I had just completed. The trip taught me a lot about myself and challenged me to reach new limits.

Throughout the trip, I was able to raise 4,345 U.S.dollars thanks to friends and family.

My goal is to raise 12,000 U.S. dollars to sponsor four children to be-gin their secondary school education in September 2014.

If you wish to sponsor the second-ary education of the children at Peace

Arnprior cyclist completes ride through Africa

Jennilea Hortop, who grew up in Arnprior, at the half-way point of Tour D’Afrique, a 12,000-kilometre bi-cycle ride from Khartoum to Capetown.

Matunda, you can through the orga-nization I am working with called Peace By Piece (http://www.peace-bypieceafrica.org).

Also, on this site are the blogs I wrote during the tour and general in-formation about Peace by Piece.

I look forward to sharing my ex-periences with the Arnprior commu-nity. When I come home to visit in December, I was thinking, if people are interested, I might put on infor-mation session somewhere in town to share my experience.

I am now in Bangkok as I will re-turn to teaching at NIST International School here in the city.

The school year starts in August, so I will head to UK for a few wed-dings then to Jordan to visits my sis-ter.

We loveletters

to the editor

at meal time. Thank goodness, or we would be having a funeral service every few days!

What he called a proper send-off was saved for birds, squirrels, or anything else that roamed the large acreage that was our farm at Northcote and which had passed on for one reason or another.

He was known to drag a dead groundhog a half mile to give it a proper service.

Now, the service usually in-cluded us fi ve children stand-ing (although my sister Audrey, the oldest, was getting less and less enamoured with the whole idea) around in solemn wonder as Emerson said a few words, put the deceased in a shallow hole, covered it up, stuck a twig in the mound, and then we were supposed to stand and meditate for at least a full three minutes, which Emerson measured off by counting backwards.

That Saturday the dead bird was discovered in the barn yard, and Emerson didn’t take long to announce that we should all gather behind the silo as soon as we fi nished our breakfast.

Ronny said he would be glad to help with the service. Emer-son said that wouldn’t be neces-sary, he had the service down

pat. Knowing Ronny, he had other plans.

Well, Mother wasn’t letting any of us away from the house until the kitchen had been red-ded up, and that included Emer-son pitching in.

We all had our special chores, and nothing interfered with Mother’s routine, dead bird, or no dead bird.

Ronny was to take the table scraps out to the back stoop for our old Collie dog Sport, who, like the rest of us, was well aware of our meal-time routine, and was already sitting on the bottom step waiting for whatev-er morsel was coming his way.

As Ronny was heading out the door, Emerson hollered, “We’ll meet at the silo in fi ve minutes.”

Finally the red and white oil-cloth-covered table was wiped clean; the dishes washed, dried and put away; and the fl oor swept.

We all headed for the back

door. Audrey couldn’t be coaxed out of the kitchen. “Nonsense ... just plain nonsense,” she could be heard muttering.

Everything could have been happening in another country as far as Mother was concerned.

As long as our chores were done to her liking, she was happy!

Emerson always wore his cap at these ceremonies.

I thought that strange since you wouldn’t dare wear a cap in church, and this was supposed to be as close to a church ser-vice as you could get without actually going to church.

He also took the battered hymn book with him.

He would have loved to take the bible which sat in the par-lour on the twig table, but Moth-er drew the line on that!

No bible left the house to bury a dead bird.

Emerson led us solemnly out of the house, down the back steps and across the front yard towards the silo behind the barn.

Little Terry had no idea where he was going, but he sensed ex-citement in the air, and holding my hand tightly, he skipped along as if we were going to a party.

Ronny was already at the site.

And it didn’t take a university graduate to fi gure out what he had done.

There was a soft mound of dirt, and a stick at one end of it, and there stood Ronny stand-ing in solemn wonder with his hands folded in steeple position and his eyes closed.

Ronny had buried the bird.Well, Emerson lost all sense

of piety, lunged at Ronny, dropped the hymn book, and was about to tear into him when Everett and Earl got a good hold of him and held him back.

Ronny had the good sense to head for the house where he knew Mother would never let Emerson lay a hand on him.

The rest of us stood around the little mound.

I have no idea when he did it, but Ronny had taken a scrap of paper, woven it through the twig at the head of the make-shift grave, and printed in black red crayon, “Goodbye Bird.”

Lifestyle - Emerson was having no part of it!Ronny and Terry had come from Montreal for their

usual long summer holidays, and Ronny, just as aggres-sive as Emerson, insisted he was quite capable of playing a leading role in burying the dead bird.

Emerson was high on burying anything that had died on the farm, and having what he called a proper funeral.

He drew the line on the long list of farm animals that ended up in our smoke house and on the old pine table

Celebrate culture at the Scottish Festival on June 22Heather LangMcNab Days committee

Events - The theme is Celtic all the way for the annual Scottish Festival on Sunday, June 22 at Waba Museum in White Lake.

Children’s Celtic activities and mini-games run all day, starting at 9 a.m. Also on the program are an Irish church service, kirking of the tartan, Scottish and Irish dancers, a pipe tat-too, massed bands, a heavyweight Highland games demonstration and archery.

Entertainment will include sing-ing of the national anthem by MPP John Yakabuski and music by Kyle Felhaver and friends. There will be a silent auction, clan tents to visit and vendors - not to mention food.

The popular Tartan Tug is back by popular demand - so get your team together and start practicing for this friendly competition.

Another kind of ‘competition’ this year is on the tasty side: visitors to the event will be able to vote on the tastiest burger: Highland or steak-house.

It all starts at 9 a.m. Admission is by donation for adults; children get in free.

For information, contact co-chairs Boyd and Rose Ann MacLaren at [email protected].

RIVERDRIVE AT RED PINE BAY

Bid on a garden shed, enjoy dem-

onstrations, take a boat tour on the Ottawa at Riverdrive Saturday, June 28

New at this year’s annual River-drive, at Red Pine Bay in Braeside, is a garden shed auction. Local mem-bers of the Woodworkers of McNab-Braeside and friends are constructing the 10x10 garden shed in modules prior to the event and re-assembling it on site that morning.

The design features windows, a door and a large side door to allow for storage of a large piece of equip-ment such as a garden tractor or a ski-doo. Materials are being donated by local businesses, including Shaw Lumber (Pembroke) and RONA in Arnprior.

The men involved in building the shed will be available during River-drive to answer questions and offer advice to anyone wishing to take on a similar project. But the best part is that the shed will be included in the silent auction.

The lucky bidder doesn’t even have to worry about getting the prize home, as Jim Fraser’s Towing has agreed to deliver the building to its new owner’s property.

The garden shed project provides a natural link to the Riverdrive wood-workers’ heritage theme, engages local businesses to showcase their products and the community spirit, represents an interesting demo/dis-play for festival attendees, and will help to raise money to offset the cost of running the annual festival.

Also on the program - and back by popular demand - are the dock div-ing dogs from Avalon Ranch, which is planning both a diving and land-based demonstration.

Ray’s Reptiles is bringing reptiles for the youngsters; there’ll be face-painting, stone-skipping and fossil hunts for the children; live music; ca-noes, kayaks and paddleboats on loan for trying out; and boat tours along with an oral history of the river.

Live demonstrations include carv-ing by Dub Juby, wood-working by Tom Stephenson, log squaring by John Foreman, blacksmithing by Tony Welsh and a pioneer skills showcase by the Pioneer Gatherers.

The day-long activities kick off with the Tartan Run/Walk (registra-tion at 8 a.m.).

HOME, GARDEN TOUR

Seven homes and gardens are on tap as part of this year’s McNab Days’ festivities, thanks to the Burn-stown United Church. The $25 price tag - the 12:30-4:30 p.m. event on June 28 is a fundraiser for the church - will give you an opportunity to visit seven locations in and around the charming village of Burnstown.

The gorgeous 20-year-old gar-dens of Valerie Roos Webster and John Webster transition from a hot, dry Mediterranean-style garden to a more shaded garden. The tour in-cludes a small goldfi sh pond, as well as a chance to view Valerie and

John’s paintings.At Neat, owned by Kim and Adam

McKinty and housed in an 1889 vil-lage schoolhouse, is well known for its unique concert venue. The tour also includes the garden.

The former Rochester House/Cheese Factory location, owned by Pat and Ken Forrest, is one of the oldest log buildings in the village. It was used as a cheese factory at one time before reverting to a home, and today houses Prime Valley Realty as well as Rustic Remnants, a gift shop. A tour of the basement will afford an opportunity to see the building’s large timbers and thick fl oor boards.

The gardens at the home of Mary and Peter Stanton were planted in 2011, after the heritage house was destroyed by fi re in 2009.

The garden surrounding the house has a pastel theme and interesting foliage, with the rear garden remi-niscent of a formal French country courtyard.

The log cabin/heritage home and garden belonging to Joan and Ross Headrick features an early log cabin from the early 1800s, lovingly fur-nished in that time period. The tour also includes the owners’ home and surrounding gardens. Joan will be dressed in period costume and per-haps preparing something in her cob oven.

Up the road heading to Renfrew, you’ll be able to tour the area’s community radio station. At Valley Heritage Radio Station (CJHR 98.7

FM), you’ll see both turntables and tape decks in use, as well as modern equipment. There may also be a live band.

Back in the village, a tour of the Burnstown United Church, built in 1899 and designed by M.C. Eady, will offer a glimpse of the cosy up-stairs, which is panelled in oak and has unique characteristics.

On the lower level you’ll be able to partake in the strawberry social. There will also be a silent auction at the church.

And, if you’re so inclined, you can even walk a labyrinth if you have the time.

Passport tickets cost $25, and available at Neat, Valley Heritage Ra-dio, Aikenhead’s in Renfrew, Antrim truck Stop in Arnprior, the general store in Pakenham, Hello Yellow in Almonte and The Running Stitch in Kanata. Children under 12 and pets are not allowed.

For more information, check the tour out on Facebook (search for Burnstown) or phone Jane at 613-433-3389 or Irene at 613-432-6987.

Also as part of McNab Days, there will be a horseshoe tournament at Pinegrove on June 24 and an open house at the municipal offi ces on June 27.

Closing off the week-long fes-tivities is Canada Day in Braeside on July 1, followed by a Scotch Tasting on July 12 at Neat, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Stay tuned for regular updates.

Keith McMillan receives his 10-year pin from McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell. McMillan has been an employee of the municipality’s roads department for 11 years. The township and community are lucky to have McMillan, said Campbell. Duane McSorley, who was not in at-tendance, is a fi ve-year-pin recipient. Mayor Campbell praised all town-ship staff members.

Andrew Hamilton received his 10-year pin. Hamilton is a roads employee and a volunteer fi refi ghter. “It’s the kind of dedication you just don’t fi nd in towns and cities,” said Mayor Mary Campbell.

Kevin Murray, a volunteer fi re station captain and municipal employee, received his fi ve-year pin. He’s worked for McNab-Braeside for seven years. The mayor thanked Murray for his “great service to the community.”

We are living longer. Children born today have the prospect of living a longer life than any generation before them. Every year, the percentage of people in our province who are 65 or older increases slightly.

By 2017, for the first time, Ontario will be home to more people over 65 than children under 15.

Provinces, states and countries everywhere are coming to terms with the challenges, and opportunities, posed by an aging population. What can, and will, set Ontario apart is the quality of life that our seniors and their families lead. The provincial government has a mission to make Ontario the best place to grow up and grow old. We know that a longer life is really only a good life if it is lived the way we want, and Ontario’s Action Plan for Seniors is about creating the kind of province where seniors are able to do just that – make choices to live the way they want. It is also about harnessing the wisdom and experience of seniors for the benefit of all, and laying the groundwork for a healthy, vibrant and active senior population.

In shaping a plan for our seniors, it is critical to be very clear about what we want to achieve. What kind of life do seniors want? What kind of life do we want for our parents and grandparents, for ourselves as we get older, and for our children many years from now? It was these questions that led to the creation of this action plan, and it was the answers that informed its content.

Seniors have contributed to our growth and prosperity and continue to help build our communities and drive our economy. We have heard from seniors that they want to be recognized for these contributions, and treated as important members of society. They want it understood that they are a diverse group, with different socio-economic backgrounds, different skills and abilities, different levels of health and education, and different interests. They want to be able to choose to live at home if they can, and have attractive alternatives if they cannot. We want Ontario seniors to feel safe and supported, and to remain healthy and independent for as long as possible. We want them to remain active and engaged wherever possible, so they are able to continue to achieve excellence as they grow older. With the right plan in place, one that includes supports for caregivers and families, seniors can have all of these things.

Sojourn along the mighty Carp defi nitely not a raceDEREK DUNN

Overdunn

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Mrs. Overdunn and the photographer struggle to keep up with the group made up of Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and Friend of the Carp River members.

Opinion – They tried to say it wasn’t a race. That it was de-signed as a nice outing for 20 or so paddlers on May 25. A gen-tle sojourn down the only river completely inside city limits: the mighty Carp River.

It wasn’t advertised as a com-petition from the village bridge be-side Rivington Street to the Huntmar Road bridge. (And yet organizers had a well-mapped course?) It wasn’t about you – meaning me – obnox-iously splashing the other canoes and kayaks in a pathetic attempt to gain advantage. (For the record, I didn’t need to do all that to win.)

But that’s loser talk.The whole “pleasant to see wild-

life and lovely backyards” sounded like something a Leafs fan would say after the regular season. Or a hippie communist would say while scarfi ng down banquet sandwiches at a cham-ber of commerce meeting. There’s nothing more important than a win for your team when gathering with largely strangers from the Missis-sippi Valley Conservation Authority and Friends of the Carp River on a sunny Sunday morning.

That was our attitude - OK, Mrs. Overdunn had a slightly different dis-position - when we arrived on scene in our pre-Y2K Volvo with canoe strapped on top. The canoe doesn’t generate a lot of respect: bright mus-

tard in colour, plastic, with fl ip-up seats. I bought it on account of the rabbit smoking a peace pipe.

How do you move on to the next canoe when this one has a peace pipe-smoking white rabbit on the side?

Forget that the rabbit is, techni-cally, yellow. It feels white, that’s what matters.

So we hop out of the car and pull the white rabbit off the roof, lug her to the start line (aka “launch area”). I was humming Snoop Dogg’s ‘Gin and Juice’ that day. Couldn’t be a more inappropriate setting, but there you go.

“Got my mind on my money and my money on my mind …”

I have no say over my brain.A bunch of people were gathered

at the riverbank. “Want to race,” I say to a gentle-

man nearby, mild as milk. “You’ll never win in that,” he said

without missing a beat. True story – cheeky monkey.

It was on. We were among the last getting in

the water. There goes my idea to tack from bank to bank in order to prevent any com-petitors from passing us. It was guaranteed to turn a 6K trip into a 9K. The strategy

works well since Mrs. Overdunn and

I don’t exactly row together. With-out going into details – our canoeing style is somewhat unorthodox. An-other example of someone picking their battles.

“Sippin’ on gin and juice …”Once in the water it seemed as

if the others were waiting for us, as if we were attempting to travel as a

group through the treacherous three foot deep waters. But it wasn’t long before my win-at-all-cost ways were in serious decline. I was softening. I was - what’s the right word - relax-ing. Enjoying myself, even.

“Rollin’ down the street …”

Paddlers put the ‘friends’ in Friends of the Carp

The white rabbit ca-noe drifted a little off course that day.

Fraser and Kelly Stiles, at right, were among the ‘competitors’ re-porter Derek Dunn faced during a recent canoe trip along the Carp River.

PHOTOS BY DEREK DUNN/

METROLAND

Beautiful backyards, above, and friendly conversations fi lled the recent warm Sunday trip with enchantment and a decided absence of fi shing. Were it up to naturalists many more trees would line the river. Trees strengthen soil, preventing bank erosion. In many parts, the Carp River is suf-fering after years of neglect. Members of Friends of the Carp say with fewer cattle, more landowners are willing to plant trees along the river.

All sorts of visual treasures await paddlers along the mighty Carp, including this tire swing.

Continued from Page 52I should have known that would

happen. It was my fi rst canoe trip, ever, where my trusty fi shing pole stayed at home. “Honey,” I said, “I don’t even intend to kill any fi sh on this trip. Not one.” “Good for you, baby.”

The monster Carp and who knows what other creatures that lurk under those waters were safe, this time, from the master angler.

As we started off the lovely greet-ings poured in from folks in their backyards, either lounging or working among fl owers.

“Nice garden, Joan!” one of our crew said. A hearty wave in return.

These people really put the friendly in Friends of the Carp.

Another woman walked up to the river bank with a camera.

“That’s my job,” I yell. “I’m sup-posed to take pictures of you.”

“This doesn’t happen every day around here,” she said, snapping pixs of the white rabbit. Must have been a New York Times reporter.

“Got my mind on my …”

WILDLIFE PROMISED

The presser promised wildlife. And I quote: “Look for turtles, fi sh, dragonfl ies, and birds. Golfers may be spotted as you travel past the Irish Hills course.” I was about to start complaining about the lack of wildlife when it suddenly started popping up. Pretty little birds chirping, some re-quiring Michael Runtz on speed dial to ID. At one point I spotted a croco-dile that resembled a log in the water. Mrs. Overdunn quickly corrected me though. There are no crocodiles in

North America. It must have been an alligator. However, at about the halfway point the en-

chanting spell was broken when our boats bot-tlenecked at an impasse.

We were required to portage past a tree fallen across the river. I seized the opportunity to in-stead turn around, thus placing us in the lead. We tell the competition we’re off to canoodle, suckers.

Portaging on weekends is not our idea of fun.

We easily won the race. So much so we sailed right past the fi nish line, under the Carp Road bridge and around back of Karson’s.

“It’s kinda hard being Snoop D.O. double G…”

A word against paddling too far into the vil-lage. There’s a pedestrian bridge resembling something out of the Kiefer Sutherland movie The Lost Boys. Graffi ti everywhere, including ‘Light My Fire’ (which means Jim Morrison lives under the bridge.)

All in all, we judged it a good day – even without a trophy presentation. Not even a par-ticipation medal.

News - I must have resembled the cat that swallowed the canary – 2,000 feet in the air over the Gatineau Hills and I was fl ying; actually directing a single-engine aircraft up and down, left and right.

It was exhilarating. I’m almost positive my grin was big

enough to split my face in two. Nev-er in my wildest dreams did I think I would have the opportunity to get my hands on the controls of a plane.

That’s one of the reasons Alfi o Ferr-ara – and a number of other local pilots – continues to volunteer his time to or-ganize and take part in a Young Eagles event that gives youth a chance to get up in an airplane – free of charge.

“It’s fun for us to see the smiles and hear some of the comments,” said Fer-rara. “It’s something they’ll remember for a long time.”

I can attest to that.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget how amazing it felt to be fl ying over The Point in Constance Bay or circling over the village of Carp, looking at the places I’ve seen a hundred times from ground level but never from above.

It was magical.

PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES

Ferrara, a member of the Experi-mental Aircraft Association’s chapter 245 out of the Carp Airport and who works in Kanata’s high-tech sector, has always liked airplanes. As a boy, he would construct models – which would eventually turn into building the real thing – or he would head out to the airport with his father to watch the air-craft take off and land.

They are fond memories, and helped Ferrara foster a love of fl ying.

He now pilots a RV9A, home-built, two-seater airplane he constructed with his wife, Shirley Mackey.

“I’ve always liked it,” he said about fl ying and the aircraft that make fl ight possible.

Nowadays though, people often don’t have the same opportunities as regulations and rules around airports have become stricter.

“I don’t think kids have the same

exposure,” Ferrara said. Airports have become more commercial, just a place to wait between point A and point B. Loitering by those who don’t have a plane to catch is often discouraged or even illegal.

So in 2011, the Stittsville resident organized the fi rst Young Eagles event. It’s intended for youth between the ages of eight and 17; to give them the opportunity to experience some of the same magic Ferrara felt as a young boy.

This year’s event will take place Saturday, June 14, (with a rain date of Sunday, June 15) from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Carp Airport.

So far, fi ve pilots have confi rmed their participation and Ferrara is hop-ing a number of others will sign up for the event.

Young attendees receive a back-ground lesson before getting into the planes, which includes how to use the in-craft microphone and headsets, as well as a fl ight log book, a voucher to take the online Learn to Fly Course for free and the chance to win full fl ight training.

Then the pilots – who all volunteer their time, aircraft and fuel – take the youth up in the planes for an experi-ence they’ll likely never forget.

“It’s basically an introductory fl ight

of about 10 to 15 minutes,” Ferrara said. “We sometimes let them hold the controls. It’s amazing how well some of them do because they play video games.”

Last year, he fl ew a young girl over her house in Dunrobin during her turn in the plane.

“When we got back, she told her parents she knew what she wanted for Christmas,” he said, laughing.

And fl ying doesn’t have to be an expensive recreational activity, Ferrara said, adding there are many opportuni-ties for youth to get involved through the Young Eagles program.

To register for the June 14 event, email Ferrara at [email protected]. A reception with snacks, as well as a chance for some hands-on airplane construction, will take place after the fl ights. More information can be found on the EAA chapter 245’s Facebook page at facebook.com/EAA245 or on-line at www.245.eaachapter.org.

“We’re people from all walks of life with a passion for aircraft,” said Fer-rara.

And they’re helping to spread the magic, one fl ight at a time.

Food sovereignty importantissue for all: NFU representativePeter [email protected]

News - “We are for all farmers, when it’s good for all farmers, it’s good for the common good of all people.”

So said National Farmers Union women’s vice-president Marcella Pedersen.

Pedersen has been touring Ontario, including Renfrew County, to speak on food sovereignty, local food and family farms, and the importance of engaging consumers to understand these issues.

Pedersen farms near Cut Knife, Sask., raising bees and chickens with her daughter, husband, his brothers and a sister-in-law. She has been with the NFU since 1971.

They run 400 hives right now, Ped-ersen said. They used to run 800, and hope to build back up to that number.

As a refl exologist, Pedersen looks at food issues from both a health and farming prospective.

Pedersen’s tour of Ontario includ-ed a stop in Renfrew. Her message is food sovereignty

“People understand food safety, and some understand food security, but very few understand what food sovereignty is,” Pedersen said.

Food security is having enough food, and it is culturally correct.

“Canada is food insecure because 80 per cent of food is imported and only 20 per cent is grown here. In other words, if there was a trucking strike or an airplane strike, or some-thing, the shelves would be empty in three days,” Pedersen said. “So we are no longer food secure.”

A couple of generations ago, the 80-20 ratio was the other way around.

“Food sovereignty is adding an ex-tra element,” Pedersen explained.

“It’s adding who controls what you eat, and what you grow. We want food sovereignty that farmers decide what they want to grow, and that con-sumers decide what they want to eat, not the corporations telling us what they are going to grow, and what we are going to eat. That’s want we are facing right now.

“To counteract that, we need con-sumers and people to buy locally,

and grow their own food.” Pedersen said the knowledge and the skills for people to grow and prepare their own food has been lost, and needs to be regained.

Pedersen suffered from eczema for about 15 years, but a trip to Cuba on a two-week farm tour last win-ter cleared it up. She credits it was through the organically-grown sus-tainable food system Cuba is known for. Back home, she removed kalonji oil, and a few other things from her baking and diet, and the eczema problem was solved.

“And then, they tell us it’s safe food,” Pedersen said. “Well, I’m sor-ry, but if I’m getting eczema, then it’s not safe.” People need to grow and prepare their own food, and buy lo-cally, she stressed.

The NFU has declared this the In-ternational Year of the Family Farm.

“It’s to bring awareness that we need our small farms,” said Pedersen. When farmers only represent one or two per cent of the population, con-sumer support is needed to fi ght the big corporations, she said.

“The NFU is non-partisan, but we are very political, because we are about making policies,” Pedersen said. “We are dealing with govern-ments all across Canada.”

An NFU membership costs $65 but is voluntary. Men, women and youth get an equal vote.

One main focus of the NFU is the opposing of Bill C-18, the Agricul-tural Growth Act omnibus bill. It in-creases corporate control of seed and increases farmers’ seed costs.

“When you give more control to the corporations over your seed, they are controlling your food, again,” Pedersen said.

Pedersen spoke of a documentary on food in the future entitled Sym-phony of the Soil.

They poured water through four pop bottles. Each was different. Wa-ter was brown in the fi rst, the result of erosion.

The last bottle they showed, the water was clear and clean enough to drink.

“That’s the way we should be go-ing,” Pedersen said. “If the soil is good, then the food is good, then your health is good.”

Canada’s adult, child obesity rates at historic highIan Harris RNT

Opinion - We are a nation that is overfed and undernourished.

In a recent study, published in the Canadian Journal of Public Health, obesity rates are at an all-time high in Canada with Ontario in third place. Overall, at least one-quarter of Cana-dian adults are over weight, obese or morbidly obese. As well, we are now seeing an increase in child obesity.

Since the 1960s, our plate sizes have grown from 9” to 12” and some manufacturers are using centimetres instead of inches on their labelling to make the plate appear smaller.

Our refrigerators have grown from 19.6 cubic feet to a whopping 22.5 cubic feet. We are nation of super-sizing and it is showing up on our waistlines. The effects of obesity are indeed expensive: in 2008, they were estimated to cost the Canadian economy $4.6 billion, up about 20 per cent from 2000.

Being obese can lead to cardio-vascular disease, diabetes and certain cancers, among them breast, prostate, colorectal and pancreatic tumours.

So much of who we are contrib-utes to what we are. Genetic pre-disposition, upbringing, ethnicity, circumstances, etc. are all factors

in obesity. Just like everybody else, I had an excuse, albeit a good one - my wife Tena had breast cancer and I was busy taking care of her.

Before I lost 55 lb., I remember having absolutely no energy. I was fl atulent, constantly bloated, espe-cially after a meal and rarely if ever participated in any type of exercise.

What was worse, my B12 plum-meted to dangerously low levels, my cholesterol was increasing, I was very moody and constantly battling

the blues. I realized that the foods I had come to love and enjoy were de-stroying me. Sluggish was my name and fat was my game.

So what can we do to fi ght back? Stay away from processed foods which contain high amounts of sug-ar, sodium and trans-fats. Stay away from fast food restaurant. Stay away from buffets.

Lower your intake of animal pro-teins (dairy, meat and poultry prod-ucts). Animal proteins are considered acidic and cause infl ammation and are also high in saturated fats.

Stay away from white sugar, white fl our, and white rice, white pasta and

keep sodium to a minimum.Exercise at least three times a

week for a minimum of 30 minutes. Exercise not only helps fl atten a bulg-ing waistline, it also helps us manage stress and stress has been known to contribute to obesity.

Lifestyle – The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario is depending on support this weekend and the Arnprior Cooperators offi ce is making it easy for area people to do just that. The hospital that has helped so many Valley children is holding its 31st annual Telethon this weekend (June 7-8) on CTV. The 24-hour telethon runs from 7 p.m. Saturday to 7 p.m. Sunday.

LOCAL SUPPORT

The telethon traditionally draws a great deal of sup-port from Arnprior and area residents, appreciative of the service it provides.

Helping to mobilize local support for the Telethon are the Arnprior Co-operators staff, who will again an-swer phones both days and hold a celebration Sunday to spread awareness of the fundraiser.

The Co-Operators’ gang will be taking pledges over the phone this Saturday from 7 to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The number to call is 613-623-3789.

“We usually collect between $7,000 and $8,000,” said Suzanne How of Arnprior Cooperators.

BARBECUE

Co-operators is also hosting a fundraising barbecue Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its Madawaska Boule-vard offi ce. The festivities will feature live music, emer-gency and health displays, a visit from the CHEO bear, and children’s amusements and face-painting.

Cooperators to collect for CHEO telethon

Lifestyle – It’s CHEO Telethon week-end.

The telethon will be televised live on CTV starting this Saturday, June 7 at 7 p.m. Donations to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario will continue to be taken until 7 p.m. Sunday.

Last year, a record $6.7 million was raised by the telethon to fun important pro-grams and equipment at CHEO.

There are several events planned in con-

junction with the telethon including a bar-becue and entertainment at the Arnprior Co-operators offi ce on Madawaska Boulevard. There’s a rumour that even the CHEO bear will be there.

Those taking in the telethon at home will meet several CHEO heroes.

Ask any parent at CHEO and they will likely answer that their child’s doctor is their hero.

But ask CHEO physicians who their own

heroes are and they will reply that they’re the children and youth they care for.

HEROES

On June 7 and 8 tune in to the CHEO Telethon to meet some of CHEO’s heroes, both the doctors and nurses who work tire-lessly to help patients medically and emo-tionally and the young patients who fi ght for their health with all their might.

CHEO fundraising telethon this weekend

SUBMITTED

Pineridge walkers support CHEOPineridge Children’s Centre recently hosted its 14th annual walkathon in support of CHEO. Children, their parents, staff and friends joined in the event. PCC likes to support CHEO because many local children, including those cared for at Pineridge, receive such excellent care at the facility.

CHEO launches virtualsuperhero avatar app

News - Becoming a superhero is just an app away.

The May 30 launch of the web application allows you to become a virtual superhero in keeping with the Chil-dren’s Hospital of East-ern Ontario Founda-tion’s Be a SuperHERO for CHEO campaign this, and raise funds for patient care at the same time. Users of the Supe-Yourself app, designed by Ottawa-based com-pany Soshal, can name, design and customize a superhero avatar mod-eled on themselves. These images can be shared on Facebook or tweeted with the hashtag #hero4cheo.

For every person who creates a superhero avatar, an anonymous donor, whom the foun-dation says is a crusad-er, will contribute $10 to the CHEO Telethon, which airs on CTV this weekend (June 7 and 8).

“We’re so excited that this CHEO Founda-tion friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, has stepped up to sup-port this innovative campaign,” Jacqueline Belsito, foundation vice-president of phi-lanthropy and commu-nity engagement, said in a statement.

“Big or small, every-one has some sort of superhero within them, and our crusader’s sup-port of the Supe-Your-

self app means that everyone can bring out their super powers while helping the kids at CHEO.”

The foundation has issued a challenge for the creation of 1,000 virtual superheroes, to help raise $10,000 for the fundraiser.

The app is available at hero4cheo.com. For more details about the application and the tele-thon, please visit cheo-foundation.com.

Two pint-sized super heroes – Curtis (Captain America) and Evan (Batman) Corrigan – were on hand with Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario CEO Alex Munter at city council’s May 28 meeting to promote CHEO’s 2014 fundrais-ing telethon theme.
