Talks are at an impasse and they haven’t even started between the Township of McNab-Braeside and the Arnprior Library.

McNab-Braeside council met Monday to discuss its strategy when negotiating new service agreements with Arnprior dealing with library, recreation facilities and the sewer-water system on Division Street. Councillors agreed they want to help literacy and promote healthy living among their constituents. And they don’t mind paying a price for it.

Problem is, they said to convince taxpayers the payments are fair the library must provide more detailed information on who from the township is using it.

“The library is emotive. There will be riots within McNab-Braeside if we don’t get an agreement,” Mayor Mary Campbell said.

“The only issue is that – it’s not about money – but about accountability.”

Township CAO Noreen Mellema sent a letter in June asking the library to forward names and addresses of township residents who use the library. Chief librarian Karen DeLuca responded by citing the Provincial Privacy and Ontario Library acts as preventing her from releasing the information to anyone.

Traffic lights on overpass give pause DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Traffic lights on both sides of the nearly constructed White Lake Road overpass have Arnprior Mayor David Reid shrugging his shoulders.

Arnprior will have six sets of lights in the first two kilometres of its main entry

point, Reid said.

“It’s very upsetting, actually,” said Reid of the design decision made years ago.

“But after thinking about it, I have seen them at Terry Fox (Road) and other places. It could be to prevent queuing on the ramp.”

Town replaces new building inspector

The new ramps off White Lake Road are expected to be in use next week.

Photo by Derek Dunn

Arnprior’s old building inspector is the new building inspector, at least for now.

Jean-Michel (J.M.) Gagne was hired in midJune to take on the full-time role of chief building official in the town.

But he was let go earlier this month and replaced with David Connelly, who did the job on a part-time basis.

Mayor David Reid wouldn’t provide details on the sudden change, other than to say it didn’t work out with Gagne, who lives in Stittsville, and that another official will be hired soon.

“The relationship was not a good fit,” Reid said. “It didn’t work out and we decided not to proceed.”

New ramps to be opened Aug. 23 Continued from front The land to make larger ramps probably isn’t available, he said.

Ministry of Transportation spokeswoman Brandy Duhaime said the westbound off-ramp signals are scheduled to be activated on Tuesday, Aug. 23, when the new ramps are open to motorists.

The eastbound off-ramp signals should be activated by the middle of October.

“The traffic signals will provide a safe turning movement from the interchanges to White Lake Road,” Duhaime said.

Another project raising eyebrows is the Division Street overpass; some would have preferred an interchange to prevent bottlenecking at Baskin Drive and Daniel Street. Reid doesn’t agree, saying at some point there can be too many interchang-

es at too high a cost to the taxpayer.

The County of Renfrew is considering what to do with Division Street, which has many potholes and cracks.

The county road won’t likely be widened to deal with increased traffic, Reid said, because the space is not available.

Access to and from Division Street and Pine Grove Road to Highway 17 is permanently closed.

As for the Highway 17 Madawaska bridges, the new one will take both eastand westbound traffic sometime this month. Repairs will be done on the old one before regular traffic patterns are in place by late 2012.

Reid said he understands from the Ministry of Transportation that work at the highway is proceeding on time and on budget.

Township considers moving facilities DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The Township of McNab-Braeside isn’t the official owner of a large building and 92 acres of property yet, but that hasn’t stopped council from brainstorming on what to do with it.

At Tuesday evening’s council meeting, Mayor Mary Campbell said provincial accessibility rules will force costly upgrades to the existing township offices.

One way to lessen the burden is to move everything to the new, nearby building.

A third option is to build a new municipal centre.

However, she said the township would appreciate help from constituents who have some expertise in the field to see if the new building is big enough to suit the municipality’s needs.

“We invite expertise from the township,” Campbell said.

The last year to apply for provincial grants to help municipalities move their offices or upgrade existing ones is 2013.

All public facilities in Ontario must be accessible by 2025.

That’s why the township has to get moving early on, Campbell said.

The transfer of ownership of the land is expected by the end of August.

A special blood donor clinic in honour of a Arnprior boy fighting leukemia will be held in town Wednesday, Aug. 24.

Canadian Blood Services is urging people to make an appointment to give blood in support of the Selle family. Laurie Selle’s son Tyler, a Walter Zadow student, has been diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia.

When at CHEO, he benefits from blood donations and hopes to be back to school soon.

The Arnprior clinic will be held from 2 to 8 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. Call 1-888-2-DONATE to book an appointment.

Township, library differ over access to information Continued from front Mellema then checked with the provincial government, but got a different response. According to Mellema, the information could be shared if DeLuca felt the information wouldn’t be used for negative purposes.

Township staff and councillors mentioned numerous times that Renfrew, which it also has a library agreement with, freely shares the names and addresses.

The question that kept coming up at the meeting was: how come Arnprior isn’t as open and helpful as Renfrew?

Library chairman Neil Salminen doubts Renfrew shares the information (a Renfrew library official could not be reached before press time). But he is adamant the library is not going to go against the act.

“I’m not going to transgress the act,” he said. “It’s a non-issue. The act is prohibiting it occurring. Legally, if you can’t do something then it’s not going to occur.”

DeLuca did provide other information, including figures that show township users represent 37 per cent of those who take out materials. She also gave postal addresses.

Councillors insist that information doesn’t help them decide if they want to pay per individual or per household.

McNab-Braeside paid almost $36,000 to Arnprior for the library service last year; it paid Renfrew $12,000 through a provincial grant.

Councillors mused aloud about having residents fill out library cards at the township offices; posting a sign at the library telling users their information will be shared with the township for statistical purposes; and starting a bookmobile, something Renfrew is open to.

Salminen said the sign won’t improve statistical purity and a bookmobile would cost three times the amount currently paid to the library.

“If they use the postal codes they can determine what they feel is an accurate amount to pay,” he said.

“We’re giving them all the information we can legally give them.”

A five-year agreement is expected to be in place for the next year.

RECREATION TALKS McNab-Braeside also pays to use the pool, rinks and other facilities at the Nick Smith Centre. It paid $87,500 in the first year of the last agreement and over $102,000 in the final year.

Councillors called it “multi-faceted” compared to a similar deal with Renfrew. But again, getting clear and accurate details has proven a challenge.

Names and addresses are provided annually, early on and the township pays per user.

Deputy clerk Connie Graham went into great detail about how the township is allowed to make corrections when a residence from another municipality appears on the list. Renfrew simply strikes it from the list, she said.

Campbell said Arnprior chooses to subsidize certain programs and not others, hockey being one. Non-hockey players complain.

The mayor noted her township subsidizes baseball fields to promote active living. But council needs to know how much they are being subsidized and it should be part of the decision-making process.

“It’s not about the money. It’s about being accountable to our residents,” she said, adding hockey is becoming too expensive and time-consuming for

many families. Maybe if the township had a rink, it could offer three-season, informal hockey.

“If you can measure it, know what you are spending on it, you can consider alternatives.”

Campbell is also concerned about the lifetime of the facility, which is undergoing roof repairs.

“I think it’s a white elephant,” she said. “I don’t want to partner on Nick Smith (centre).”

However, she also said there would “be riots” if an agreement was not reached.

“If we didn’t renew these agreements, what could we offer our residents recreation wise,” Coun. Christine Blimkie said.

“Not much.”

Campbell said Arnprior is a small town that provides city services.

“I don’t want to be that, not a Belleville,” she said. “We’re different cattle out here.”

She mused aloud about having a rink at the township’s newly acquired building on the 92 acres of property the township will soon own next to the municipal offices.

“We just want lots of kids coming out and having fun.”

The infrastructure will likely need to be upgraded soon. So council is considering its options. Campbell asked staff to look into the latest technologies to see if mini-versions are affordable.

“I’d like to get a handle on the options before we charge down that track,” said the mayor.

Healthy treats on offer at The Park Concession SHERRY HAAIMA Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Arnprior beach-goers looking for a healthy snack don’t have to worry about packing their own.

It’s the second summer Cathy Clouthier of Arnprior has run The Park Concession at Robert Simpson Park and she’s making sure that along with the usual beach fare, visitors have a healthy option.

Burgers, sausages, hot dogs,

sandwiches, grilled cheese, ice cream and the usual chips and chocolate bars are all still on offer, says Clouthier.

“But we’ve got healthy selections, too, like veggies and dip, yogurt and fresh fruit.”

The Park Concession’s meat comes locally from Valley Roots and Clouthier says fresh products are key.

Business at the booth has picked up this year, with plenty of families taking advantage of all the park has to

offer, including a splash pad, beach and playground.

“I get so many comments about how beautiful the park is,” says Clouthier. “There’s just so much going on here.”

From seniors doing Tai Chi in the morning to the Sunday Concerts in the Park and special events like Canada Day, Robert Simpson Park is a happening place, says Clouthier.

The Park Concession is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, unless it’s raining.

Arnprior Solar Farm providing green energy to grid COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

The Arnprior Solar Farm on Galetta Side Road is hard to miss.

An army of 312,000 bluish-black panels glisten in the sun, sitting on 81 hectares of land and collectively providing energy for up to 7,000 households in Ontario with its 23.4-megawatt capacity.

When the solar system was built in 2009, it was the largest of its kind in Canada, and one of the largest in North America.

It has since been surpassed in size, but still stands as a shimmering reminder of Ontario’s commitment to green energy.

Jon Kiernan is the solar director for Electricite de France: Energies Nouvelles Canada (EDF EN Canada), the company that developed the solar system in West Carleton.

He said the project has been a great success, especially on sunny days during the summer.

“On a day like today, we’re not only happier for the sunshine, but we’re in the money,” he said.

But it doesn’t take a hot summer’s day to generate solar energy.

The panels are skilled at grabbing what is called “grey light” as well as direct sunlight, allowing them to soak up solar power even when the sun is hidden behind clouds.

“I think most people would be quite astounded at the power that is generated on a day that looks pretty dull and grey,” Kiernan said.

“There were several days in March when Arnprior was producing at its peak.”

Arnprior construction company M. Sullivan & Son Ltd. built the expansive system, with Tom Hughes as project manager. At its peak, the project employed around 150 workers.

“None of us had ever done something of that scale,” Hughes said.

Construction took place during the summer of 2009, which, as luck would have it, was one of the rainiest summers on record. Seeing as every bit of work was done outside, the weather provided a bit of a challenge.

The project was breaking ground

across the board, resulting in a lot of people coming to inspect and check their progress, and a slow-down in production.

“As arduous as it sounds,” Hughes said, “It was a fantastic job to do. It put a feather in the cap of Sullivan & Sons,” which has thrived for almost 100 years in Arnprior.

Hughes is currently working on three different solar projects in Ontario; in St. Eugene, Edwards, and Beachburg. All three projects have been in the works for a few years – before the new FIT regulations came into place.

The feed-in tariff (FIT) program is a policy designed for renewable energy technology. The program is the first of its kind in North America, and offers stable prices under long-term contracts for green energy projects.

As of this year, green energy projects need to complete a checklist required by FIT, including a renewable energy audit, making sure the construction will take place on approved land, and promising that 60 per cent of materials used are from Ontario.

The Great River Adventure moved into the stretch of the Ottawa River north of Renfrew this week.

However, paddlers will not be back for the Portage du Fort to Ottawa ‘Take Action’ segment until Sept. 7 to 11, when there is expected to be a public meeting along the river in Arnprior.

There are also events planned for Horton, Bristol, Norway Bay, Marshall Bay, the mouth of the Mississippi River, Fitz-

roy Harbour, Quyon, Constance Bay, Shirley’s Bay and Aylmer.

The group of paddlers led by Ottawa Riverkeeper Meredith Brown was scheduled to stop in Pembroke Tuesday, take part in a community corn roast in Davidson Wednesday and arrive in Portage this Saturday Aug. 20.

The trek to document the state of the Ottawa River entered its third phase Saturday at Des Joachims with its 170-kmlong ‘Our Future Leaders’ phase. Joining the main group were 10 high school students from throughout the watershed.

They are accompanied by their guiding trainer and educator Colin Bunge and are travelling in a Canadian Voyageur Adventures voyageur canoe owned

by Alistair Baird of Arnprior. Also on the trip is photographer Mike Beedell.

The combined group is travelling the culturally rich section of the river in historic voyageur canoes, guided by Canadian Voyageur Outfitters.

The students are actively participating in research, reporting and web broadcasting as they make the eightday journey. Their goal is to report on the state of the river and inspire their peers to become more involved in community water stewardship.

Partners on this part of the trip include the Canadian Canoe Foundation and Esprit Rafting, which hosted Wednesday’s corn roast, in which folk singer Ian Tamblyn entertained.

At the Pembroke stop, the paddlers raised such issues as heritage status for the river, dam development along the Petawawa River and the passing of one of the river’s biggest boosters, William Commanda.

The trek will resume Sept. 7 in Portage du Fort. In the 140-km stretch to Ottawa,

the team is encouraging people to paddle with the Riverkeeper.

The Bonnechere River Watershed Project and Ottawa River Institute will greet the Riverkeeper at the Horton boat launch at the mouth of the Bonnechere River on Wednesday, Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. for a shore lunch and discussion on the heritage and health of the Ottawa River and its tributaries such as the Bonnechere.

Students from Opeongo High School’s native studies class have been invited to attend.

An anticipated event at Red Pine Bay in Braeside appears to be no longer happening, but there is still a move afoot to organize a public stop at Arnprior’s Robert Simpson Park.

At the end of the fourth of five stages, the flotilla of canoes will paddle into the National Capital Region and land on Victoria Island for a celebration either on Sept. 10 or 11. The final stage of the 900km journey will begin at Victoria Island on national Rivers Day (Sept. 25) and end in Montreal.

Those interested in following the trek, which began July 4, can follow on the expedition blog on the website http://grp. ottawariverkeeper.ca/.

Now Open in Two Locations–RENFREW & ARNPRIOR BEE AT THE BRAESIDE BEACH SATURDAY McNab-Braeside recreation director Geoff Patterson and the township recreation committee are inviting all interested people to the Braeside Beach this Saturday, Aug. 20 from 9 a.m. to noon to take part in a clean-up work bee. “We want to spruce up the place,” said Patterson. “We’ll give it a good once-over.” He said there is garbage, old remnants of glass, rocks and weeds to pick up both on the beach and along the trail. The township was hoping to reopen the beach this summer, but the official opening will most likely have to wait for next spring. The township is pricing guard railings and other safety items needed before it can open the beach.

The pair were on vacation, doing some fishing up north and in the Westport area when they dropped by the Arnprior Airport to be gassed up by airport manager and Arnprior Coun. Dan Lynch. Unfortunately, a search of the aircraft for the Stanley Cup met with negative results, says Lynch. Julien did bring the Cup to his hometown of Ottawa recently where is was a big hit, except for Canuck fans.

The former Michael Callahan Farm, on the south side of Division Street and behind A.J. Charbonneau Public School, is likely to convert into homes for more than 800 people. The homes will be: • 158 single detached dwellings; • 22 semi-detached dwelling units on 11 blocks;

• 42 bungalow-style townhouse units on 12 blocks; • 109 two-storey townhouse units on 16 blocks.

Campanale Homes, responsible for Riverwood Estates behind the car dealerships on Madawaska Boulevard, have applied for approval on the 26.46 hectares of property.

Mayor David Reid said the developer is following all the rules and expectations, and he doesn’t anticipate any problems either during or after the public meeting. “It’ll be a good thing,” Reid said. “Campanale’s has a good track record.”

Time to enshrine abortion rights into law

Fair litterbugs, show some respect

T

here’s never a happy reason to have an abortion.

With chemo-therapy for cancer, by contrast, there’s the hope that the treatment will send one’s cancer into remission. There is hope.

With abortion, something is ending, and the reason is almost never a happy one.

Hospitals will thank the community for their donations to erect a new oncology department, while businesses and philanthropists line up to have hospital wings named in their honour – after they’ve ponied up the dough.

We have yet to see a billboard in front of the local hospital extolling the opening of the new, expanded abortion unit.

But the abortion debate was shoved right in our faces last week, whether we wanted to see it or not. A group calling itself ‘Show the Truth’, set up protests in Arnprior, Carleton Place, Almonte and Smiths Falls, where they showed off grotesque and disturbing images of aborted fetuses.

People driving to work on Madawaska Boulevard were met with the bloody images Aug. 9, while people walking down Mill Street in Almonte turned a corner and came face to face with the photos.

While the organizers say that they were invited by local pro-life groups, their actions caught some pro-life groups in the area unawares, and even prolife supporters in our community were sickened by what they saw.

The demonstrators had every right to demonstrate. They were not breaking any laws, and even commended the local detachment of the OPP for not hassling them.

But this shock-and-awe strategy does little to win hearts and minds. Instead, it stiffens people’s already entrenched opinions and makes any hopes of coherent, civil debate evaporate under the glare.

Abortion has become the third rail of Canadian politics, and in other countries as well. It comes as a surprise to many people to discover that Canada does not actually have an abortion law. The Mulroney government passed a new law on abortion in 1989, following a free vote. The law then died in the Senate – on a tie, no less – and there has been no appetite to revisit the issue since.

While the 1969 Criminal Code of Canada section dealing with abortion was struck down the by Supreme Court of Canada in 1988, nothing has been put in place to replace it. Even the Canadian Medical Association supports letting sleeping dogs lie, feeling the status quo is preferable to another rau-

To the editor:

Rides made Arnprior ‘largest fair’ To the editor: This is a reply to the Editorial found in the Aug. 11 edition of the Chronicle.

I would like to clarify statements regarding the Arnprior Fair, in which it was suggested that I was ‘untruthful’.

The Arnprior Fair this year, was the largest fair in the Ottawa Valley!

That was not an ‘untruthful’ statement, which was found in ‘Arnprior Council minutes’, nor in any other ‘media outlet’.

It was, in fact, a statement made by me and others from the board, and was based on the size of the midway, as I stated within all media correspondence. Whether they chose to quote me fully was their decision, but I can assure you that myFM’s morning show interview did run the full clip and included my explanation of how we were able to claim this.

With 15 rides this year, it was/is the largest midway contract within the Valley, making us the largest fair in the Valley in terms of the midway size.

Never did I say we ran longer than other fairs or had a larger area size (“Renfrew Fair runs a day longer and occupies a much larger footprint”).

Never did I compare our fair to Carp, Metcalfe or Richmond, which were used as comparison in the editorial. These fairs are not within the ‘Ottawa Valley’.

So the final statement in the editorial – “Truth in advertising is where an organization derives much of it’s credibility” maybe a statement that your paper may want to adhere to, as you are very right in saying this, and this is the second time within a few short months that I have had to defend my words to be truthful due to your reporter’s personal spin of the facts.

In future, I suggest that if a reporter questions the information, he/ she should speak with the individual first before going to print calling her ‘untruthful’.

Hello, it was sure nice to see a great turn-out to our fair.

But I would like to bring out the attention to our people of Arnprior on how many of the people in this town are litter bugs. I have seen it dozens of times in and around town they must think our streets are a garbage dump.

After the fair on Saturday, the litterbugs came out. As there was a lot parking on the streets close to the fair and parking lots in and around the area. On Sunday morning, I had to go to the store at the mall. I couldn’t believe how they litter the streets near to where I live, Edey and Landrigan streets.

What’s a matter with these people; don’t they have any respect for our neighbourhood or neighbours who live on these streets.

I have seen it also in some of the drivethrough restaurants we have in our town.

I watch a guy empty his ashtray on the ground while waiting at a drive-through.

They must also think these drive-through restaurants are dumping grounds too.

You wouldn’t believe how they empty their trash bag from their vehicles into the trash bin at these drive-throughs, while these costs the stores to haul away trash.

Why don’t they take it home and put it in their own trash.

If the fair is going expand like it wants to, I think these people need to smarten up and have some respect for our town and its neighbours.

So please, do your part so we can have a cleaner town to show to our friends and visitors to our town.

Thank you.

Opinion

9 August 18 2011 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE

Adoption is the loving option To the editor: Although I do not support the displaying of graphic images of aborted babies in a place where children may see them, I would like to offer some additional points in favour of ‘Choosing Life’ in response to Mr. Dunn’s story (Chronicle-Guide, Aug. 11), ‘Graphic Abortion demonstration shocks morning commuters’.

Having been involved in the Pro-life movement for many years, I have learned that most women, given enough love and support, want to carry their babies to term.

If that love and support does not come from the unborn child’s father or the mother’s family and friends (which often, sadly, it does not), then society as a whole and we, as individuals, need to step up to the plate.

Pregnancy help centers can be

found in any phone book under ‘Abortion Alternatives’.

I have witnessed as a volunteer with these groups how they lovingly provide very tangible support to women in crisis pregnancies.

I believe the real ‘choice’ should come after the baby has been born.

A woman can decide to raise the child herself, hopefully with the help and support of the child’s father and other family members.

Or she can decide, out of love for her child, to give him or her up for adoption.

ADOPTION WAITING LIST There are many couples in Canada today on long waiting lists, hoping to adopt an infant and ready to provide it with a loving home.

I strongly disagree with the infer-

ence that it is better to abort a child than risk that child perhaps having a ‘tough life’ due to low income or being raised by a single mother.

Many children born under such circumstances have been raised as very decent people and many children born to wealth and privilege have made wrong choices and ended up with a ‘tough life’.

There are many factors at work as to how a child ultimately turns out and who are we to decide ahead of time who should live and who should not? So please remember that harming an innocent life is not the answer to a difficult situation.

Love and support of the mother and her unborn child are crucial and finally ‘Adoption is the loving option’.

Volunteers with foresight saving Valley’s CN rail line

What’s wrong with showing the truth, even if it’s disturbing To the editor:

To the editor:

A train engine parked on the track in Renfrew this week attracted a number of photographers, no doubt wondering whether they’ll ever see the likes in this area again.

But they will if they’re along the CN line, say volunteers fighting to save it.

I did not witness the demonstration

by Show the Truth on Madawaska Boulevard in Arnprior last week but have been following the news coverage in the local media including the Arnprior Chronicle Guide re ‘Graphic abortion demonstration shocks morning commuters’.

Some individuals in Arnprior, Almonte and elsewhere have expressed outrage that young children have been traumatized, scarred or have lost their innocence having viewed the images of aborted fetuses.

There is no mention, however, by these same individuals, of the unspeakable horror perpetrated on the tens of thousands of unborn children in Canada each year while our politicians and citizens remain silent.

Answering the question as to why show the images, the group’s website (showthetruth.ca) states: “Most Canadians are familiar with

on the line. It is important to recognize the vision of people who have had the foresight to save this vital part of our heritage and the very valid tool for economic development and employment in the area.

It is interesting to note, as well, that rail transport is an important and key feature for a green future for our children and grandchildren.

Last week Canadian Pacific Railway began the process of taking up their rails that run through the Ottawa Valley.

They started removing rails between Renfrew and Pembroke and intend to continue with this action this year and next, until all rails have been removed between Smiths Falls and Mattawa.

This section will never be replaced.

Such is not the case for the local Canadian National rail line.

Fortunately for the Ottawa Valley including the Pontiac, Renfrew County and the City of Ottawa, a dedicated group of volunteers, comprised of business leaders, municipal representatives from Pembroke, Whitewater, Laurentian Valley, Portage-du-Fort, Litchfield, Clarendon, Campbell’s Bay, Bristol, and Ottawa, have been working on acquiring the CN line known as the Beachburg sub.

This group, incorporated as Transport Pontiac-Renfrew (TPR), has a very detailed business plan and has recruited experienced and highly qualified staff committed to joining the business.

TPR has enjoyed the co-operation of CN since the beginning of this process.

TPR is incorporated as a not-for-profit business and plans to begin freight operation in early 2012, followed by tourism rail service and commuter service soon thereafter.

The line travels from Ottawa, through the Pontiac, into Renfrew County and on to Pembroke.

It is also hoped that the link to Mattawa can be preserved, in order to maintain Canada’s cross-country line and to preserve national security through the vital service to base Petawawa.

Right now, CP plans to remove this link next year and few objections have been voiced despite there being considerable shipper demand for freight service

disturbing images shown to the public: one example is pictures showing the effects of smoking on the lungs.

Images are powerful and legitimate tools for awaking people and arousing them to action.”

Comments from pro-lifers on the same website are succinct: “Yes, abortion is disturbing and people should be disturbed when they see pictures of aborted babies. That’s the point!”

“Bottom line: if you can’t handle the pictures, how can you condone the act?”

Let’s reopen the public debate in Canada on abortion. Currently, there is no protection in law for the unborn at any stage of development.

The Parliament of Canada needs to enact legislation to protect the lives of our unborn children!

New mapbook reveals special local outdoor areas

613-832-2503

What started as a living room enterprise has grown into a cross-country venture that both documents and celebrates the great outdoors.

The widely-popular Backroad Mapbook series embraces Eastern Ontario with a comprehensive new 144-page guide.

Discover the 200 backcountry campsites of Bon Echo Provincial Park or the surreal paddling of the Barron Canyon in Algonquin Park. Dive into single-track riding through the Larose Forest, take on the mighty Rideau Trail or create your own adventure in the public crown land areas identified.

“Fishermen, families who enjoy camping, hikers and hunters, people who like canoeing or cruising backroads -- we appeal to all of them,” explained company co-founder Russell Mussio.

Backroad Mapbooks feature up-to-date logging and industrial roads, trail systems and a wide range of recreational features that are not found on other maps.

Add in everything from fishing hotspots to paddling routes, from wilderness campsites to road side parks, from hiking and OHV riding trail systems to topographic land features, and you will see why this series has grown to become Canada’s best-selling outdoor recreation series, Mussio said.

The Backroad Mapbook series uses lo-

cal researchers and writers to ensure regional information is accurate and noteworthy.

The new Eastern Ontario title expands on work done by Jason Marleau, owner of Algonquin Bound Outfitters and Carmine Minutillo, now a principal with Holy Family Catholic School in Kingston, both of whom were instrumental in the development of this book.

“Having a single book which highlights all of the outdoor opportunities in the Ottawa Valley has helped to attract new visitors, encourages locals to get out and explore their own backyard and raises the profile of our organization and all of our stakeholders,” said Melissa Marquardt, mrketing co-ordinator at Ottawa Valley Tourist Association.

“The team at Backroad Mapbooks has created a winner.”

The universal appeal for taking off into the backcountry has seen the Backroad Mapbooks series expand to include five books for Ontario which cover every square inch of the province.

The series now includes over 28 titles for BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario as well as the Maritimes with over 1.5 million books in circulation.

Still-active McInnes House’s 155-year history honoured

NOTICE

PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

A public meeting regarding Zoning By-law amendment lands municipally being Part of Lot 5, Concession C, fronting on Division Street, from Residential One – holding (R1-h) to Residential Three – Exception Fifteen - holding (R3-E-15-h) Zone.

It was a special day – McInnes Day – July 10 in McNab-Braeside.

After all, how often can you christen a home that’s 155 years old?

That’s what they did at the house currently owned by Barry and Eva Yantha.

They wanted to honour the history of the land and what has become known as the McInnes House in memory of its first occupants, Angus McInnes and Elizabeth Airth.

The Yanthas weren’t alone.

About 90 invited McInnes descendants from across Canada joined them, along with some of the families who lived in this house, for a fine Sunday afternoon and evening of reminiscing.

Subject Lands The Town of Arnprior has received application ZBLA-6/06 for an amendment to Zoning By-law 499001, as amended, for the lands described as Part Lot 5, Concession C, fronting on Division Street, as shown on the attached Key Map. Public Meeting A public meeting giving the public an opportunity to make representations in respect of the zoning amendment will be held on Monday, September 12th, 2011 at 6:30p.m. in Council Chambers at the Town Hall, 105 Elgin Street West, Arnprior.

Description of Application The proposed zoning amendment would rezone the lands from the Residential One - holding (R1-h) Zone to the Residential Three – Exception Fifteen - holding (R3-E15-h) Zone to permit to permit all density of residential development. The “exception” implements a buffer strip between the development and the woodlands to the north. The removal of the holding symbol will require approval of a development plan, supported by appropriate studies, for any future development of the site. The current zoning restricts the use of the property to single detached dwelling only.

WELCOME Eva Yantha addressed the gathering.

“On behalf of Barry and myself, I extend a warm welcome to all the descendants of Angus McInnes and Elizabeth Airth, to this the home of the first settlers of Lot 27 Con. 5 of McNab Township.

“This home is all of 155 years old.

Would any home of today stand this test of time?

“We thought it only appropriate that the house be honoured on behalf of the first settlers, Angus and Elizabeth, who built the house, and Paul and Amelia (Yantha), who restored it. That is why we are here today.”

Some of the home’s history was found in notes from a wedding, Yantha said.

John I. Miller and Maggie McInnes – granddaughter of Angus and Elizabeth – were married in the front hall of the stone house on April 21, 1909.

Carter Virgin – their 10-month-old great, great, great grandson – was the youngest relative at this year’s celebration.

BIG STONE HOUSE “The place was known as the stone house on Spruce Avenue, McNab. Barry’s parents, Amelia and Paul Yantha were very proud of this place. They bought it in 1947 and brought it back in shape in the 1950s and ’60s after it being vacant for three years.

“Mrs. Dorothy Wold and many other McInnes relatives have visited it over the years, because of its uniqueness,” Eva Yantha added.

Friend and guest Jim Ferguson said it was a special day.

From left are Jamie Virgin, holding son Carter, at 10 months the youngest McInnes descendent; and Dorothy (Blackburn) Wold, 89 of Edmonton, the most senior McInnes descendent. A scroll was presented and plaque unveiled, with the McInnes tartan, in honour of McInnes House on McInnes Day July 10 in McNab Braeside Township.

“The gathering today is to honour the Big Stone House and tell of its owners and tenants. If the walls could talk what stories they could tell.

“The research was the work of many.

A project like this starts out as a simple story but with a house of this stature and history the information grows and grows.

The more you discover the more there is to discover,” Ferguson said.

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell presented a scroll which read: ‘The people and council of the Township of McNabBraeside wish to congratulate Barry and Eva Yantha on their restoration of McInnes House. We offer our thanks for preserving this 155-year home, one of the last remaining original stone buildings in the township, built in 1864 by Angus McInnes and Elizabeth Airth. McInnes House remains an important piece of McNab-Braeside heritage.’

A plaque was also unveiled with the eldest McInnes descendant, Dorothy Blackburn Wold, 89, of Edmonton; and the youngest, Carter Virgin, participating, along with Carter’s dad Jamie, and Eva Yantha.

Further Information To view any information or materials related to the proposal, please contact the Planning Office, Town Hall, 105 Elgin Street West, Arnprior, or on the Town’s web site at www.arnprior.ca.

Entertainment

Highland dancers to step into town Sunday The Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dancing Competition will draw more than 80 dancers to Arnprior.

The Arnprior Highland Dancing Association is presenting the 11th annual Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dancing Competition this Sunday, Aug. 21.

Dancers are expected to participate from as far away as Toronto, Sudbury and Quebec.

The competition will be located at scenic Robert Simpson Park, where a stage will be set up next to the bandstand.

“It’s the best location in the Ottawa Valley,” organizer Renee Stewart said.

“It certainly has the best Ottawa River view.”

The competition is held each year in memory of Stewart’s daughter, Caitlin, who passed away after a car accident on Nov. 2, 1998.

The competition starts at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 3 or 4 p.m.

“Everyone is invited down to the park for a wonderful day of dancing and listening to bagpipes,” Stewart said.

“The dancers enjoy an enthusiastic crowd to bring out the best performance from the dancers. Bring a lawn chair and sunscreen.”

Admission is free, but a donation to Caitlin’s scholarship fund would be appreciated.

There will be an onsite canteen, complete with hamburgers from Cathy Clouthier.

Stewart encourages members of the public to drop in and check out the dancing and music.

The dancers are colourfully dressed in the kilts and national costumes of Scotland, and will be accompanied by accomplished bagpipers.

Each dancer will be doing four dances and at the end of the day the premier dancers will be performing their own version of the Cake Walk.

“This is so exciting to watch. Pairs of dancers will have their own interpretation of the dance,” Stewart said.

“The lassies have lots of fun and the crowd likes to start clapping with the

The competition could not be held without community sponsorship from Ontario Hydro and others. Stewart gave heartfelt thanks for all the community supporters.

“We also have a wonderful group of volunteers,” she said.

“These volunteers ensure the competition continues to run successfully every year.

“Many parents and former highland dancers keep coming back to keep this wonderful competition running in Caitlin’s name. Thanks for keeping my daughter alive in my heart.

“Big hug to Jan and Molly, my co-organizers, for their hours of hard work. You two are the best.”

Top fiddlers coming to Arnprior It’s that time a year again, when Valley Heritage Radio plays host to provincial champion fiddlers from all over Canada.

It’s a busy time for the country’s top fiddlers, first with the Canadian Grand Masters Championship at Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans on Saturday, Aug. 27 and finishing with the Pembroke Fiddle and Step Competitions on theLabour Day weekend.

Smack dab in the middle of all this are two events of which Valley Heritage Radio is very proud.

The coop radio station is presenting the eighth annual Fiddle Fest Dance at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior on the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 30.

What is the Law?

Earlier that same day, Canada’s finest fiddlers will take a break from music to hit the fairways at Mountain Creek Golf Course. Get a group of four players together for the best-ball event followed by a chicken dinner, all in support of the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Association.

“So get ready for Fiddle Fest and we’ll see you on the dance floor being entertained by the finest like Calvin Vollrath, Sheryl Fitzpatrick and Dennis Harrington, to name just a few,” says Valley Heritage Radio operations director Bill Parker.

Admission is $15 at the door, $13 for Valley Heritage Radio members.

A: The time you are able to move your things into the new house depends on what time the deal “closes”. A closing is completed when money has changed hands and the property is registered in your name. After these two things have happened your lawyer can release the keys to you.

However, a closing can happen any time during the day, up to 5pm. Often, there is a “completion” time listed in your Agreement of Purchase and Sale, which states that deal does not have to close until the end of the day.

Sometimes, mortgage funds are not received until later in the day. When this happens it pushes the closing time back until later in the day as well. These delays can be unpredictable, as each bank’s system for sending out the funds is different. It is not unusual for mortgage funds to be received mid-afternoon. Keys are commonly released in the 3:30-5:30 pm time frame.

A closing may (and often does) happen before the end of the day, but you need to be prepared in case it does not. The best advice for moving into your new home is to plan your truck/van for later in the evening or the following day.

That way, if there are delays, you are not stuck waiting with a truck full of your things which can be a waste of both your time and money.

2011 VALVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM The Public Works Department in conjunction with the Spring Hydrant Flush is conducting a Valve Maintenance Program. This program is designed to clean and exercise the valves and by doing so will extend their life as well as determine whether the valves are operable.

The work is planned for the weeks of August 22 to September 2, 2011 and will be completed in the shortest period of time possible.

This procedure is quite routine but it may result in some temporary inconveniences such as poor water pressure or “red” water. Do not be alarmed.

HERE ARE THE FACTS: 1. If coloured water is detected, please open your COLD water taps to clear the system.

2. The coloured water is not hazardous to health.

McCrae’s, the A finalists, include, in front from left, Sarah Ennett, Candice McLeod, Mikaella Hipkin; and in back Maddie Irons, Kailey Hook, Hailey Harris, Jessica Lambert, coach Sherri Jorgensen. Missing are coach Cindy Hipkin, Melissa Kargus and Cassidy Marshall.

Arnprior graduate coaching on the big stage Collins coaches international pole vault athletes in London BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

When Damien Warner met Dave Collins a year ago, Warner had never attempted a pole vault.

Deciding to make a run at competing in the decathlon event, his coaches brought him to Collins to teach him from the ground up.

“My section is to teach him the hardest event out of all the events,” Collins said.

Next week, Warner will compete in the track and field world championships in Korea, vaulting against the best in the world. He won the first national championships he competed in, in June.

“Basically, the way he’s been progressing, he’s probably the next superstar,” Collins said.

Collins puts the fast success on the “greatest athlete he’s ever met,” but there is no doubt that the Arnprior-born coach has successful methods.

“I’m a much better coach than I was an athlete,” said Collins.

He vaulted for Arnprior District High School, where his father was a teacher, before competing for the University of Western Ontario in London, Ont., where he now re-

sides. He’s a busy coach, leading the entire track and field team at the high school where he teaches geography, coaching pole vault at Western, and training two elite female athletes – plus Warner.

He can still remember starting out vaulting at ADHS with his coach John Marcellus, and enjoys encouraging current coaches to keep pole vault alive in the local track and field scene.

“I enjoy conversing with Joey Lavoie, who’s trying to get pole vault back and running in Arnprior,” he said, of the current ADHS track coach.

“I sold him some equipment last year to try and kind of keep the sport going, and he’s kept the sport going.”

Collins is an example of a successful ADHS athlete, who went to compete at the intercollegiate level, and beyond.

“I got to compete at the odd national level, but I broke my wrist my third year of university when things started going well,” he said.

Always good with explanations, a pre-cursor to his teaching career, Collins got involved helping the university team.

Then he started coaching at the

high school level when he became a teacher, and eventually added club coaching.

He’s now coaching on the national and international scene, having just returned from France with two of his athletes, who competed in the world youth championships – and just took first and second place at the national youth championships, in Ottawa, last week.

“It was awesome,” he said of France.

“It was probably the coolest coaching experience because you’re there, wearing Canada stuff, and you have Russians and Germans and Italians, all screaming in their languages to their athletes.

It takes coaching to a new level, takes my event to a new level, to see it at world championships.”

Collins specializes in the technical aspect of pole vault, so athletes train and complete speed workouts alone or with other coaches.

He is one of many coaches for Warner, which is why he does not travel to all of his meets – especially those as far away at Korea.

Team Canada can assign coaches, or may choose to fund specific individuals to travel to competitions – especially the upcoming

Olympics. Collins could spend the next year preparing Warner, currently ranked 15th in the world in the decathlon, to compete in the London 2012 Olympic Games.

While Collins said he can’t take credit for Warner qualifying for world championships, his catapult into success and potential Olympic berth “make me pretty proud to be part of it.”

Student urges people to get ‘active for life’ A local university student has launched an Active for Life initiative.

Chris Forrest has embarked on the physical activity campaign in partnership with the Kenwood Athletic Centre and the Town of Arnprior Parks and Recreation department.

It is a drive aimed at increasing the physical activity levels in people of all ages.

Benefits of physical activity such as better sleep patterns, increased motivation and confidence, and a greater enjoyment of life are all well known and well advertised, says Forrest. “Yet people still do not make physical activity part of their daily routines.�

Forrest, who is about to enter his third year at Nipissing University, is completing a placement course at the Kenwood Athletic Centre this summer as part of the requirements for his Bachelor of Health and Physical Education degree.

He says the placement has given him an opportunity to help people. “I believe that by breaking the mould of a structured placement, I can make a difference that will not only benefit me through experience and learning but others through the program, in which I design, run and reflect on,� Forrest said. “I have developed an initiative that I believe can make a real difference in the lives of people in the Ottawa Valley.�

He said there are many reasons given to try to explain why 51 per cent of Canadians lead a sedentary (inactive) lifestyle, “but I believe the greatest deterrent of physical activity is age related barriers.�

Barriers that present reasons or forces that keep people from reaching their goals are very prevalent when it comes to exercise and sport, Forrest noted. “For older adults I believe a lack of self-efficacy (confidence in their abilities), a lack of motivation and a lack of perceived time are the biggest barriers to regular participation. For kids, on the other hand, more external barriers exist, including lack of opportunity, lack of social support and lack of money to buy equipment or join sporting leagues.�

The barriers are tough to address, but if an attempt is not made they can lead to even bigger problems including poor health, poor performance in school and work and a poor outlook on life, says For-

rest. “This is why it is key that we eliminate these barriers and show people everything that physical activity has to offer. By starting the Active for Life Initiative, I believe we can do just that.�

OPEN HOUSE AUG. 30 Forrest is holding a fundraising open house on Tuesday, Aug. 30 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Kenwood Athletic Centre at 78 Edward St. South. People can come tour the gym and try out the weight room, squash court and gymnasium. “I hope to provide people with the opportunity to donate used or new or unwanted sporting equipment or make a monetary donation,� he said. “(This) offers a great opportunity for them to clear out some space out their house and donate sporting equipment to those who can most benefit from it.�

Once collected the donations will be given to local schools and children around the area who will most benefit from them.

This will give children not only the opportunity to play, but also provide schools with the means to show them the fun and benefits an active lifestyle can produce, says Forrest. “With this the goal is to instill a passion for sport and exercise and create long term participation. This, in summary, is how I hope to get the children of Arnprior more active and interested in a healthy lifestyle.�

As for the adults who have more internalized barriers, their donations will be rewarded with trial memberships for the Kenwood Athletic Centre and certificates donated for youth sporting opportunities by the town of Arnprior, explains Forrest.

The memberships will be two-week trials with full access to the Kenwood Athletic Centre and all its features for $5, with all proceeds going towards the cause. This will give adults or their kids the opportunity to try something they have meaning to do and will hopefully show them how fun and easy it is to reap the immediate- and long-term rewards of regular exercise, he said.

Sports and exercise have endless opportunities Continued from Page 22 “In conclusion the goal of the Active for Life Initiative is to provide the means, opportunities and motives to help people make physical activity a part of their everyday routine,” says Forrest.

“By providing both children and adults with the opportunity to participate, I hope that some if not all of them will continue this participation long after this

campaign is over.

“In the end I hope that we can help people do things like change their outlook on exercise, improve their confidence and internalize an appreciation of physical activity and all it has to offer,” he added.

“The possibilities in sport and exercise are endless and now with the Active for Life Initiative people will have the tools and chance to experience this for themselves.”

JUDY SKARICA JCS Stables

JCS Stables will hold the second of three Rising Star horse show clinics this Saturday, Aug. 20.

The clinic will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the stables on Scheel Drive just west of Arnprior. The clinician for the day is Kitty Bowland of Ottawa, a certified FEI Level 2 Hunter/Jumper Judge.

Spectators are always welcome.

Warmup for beginner and novice division opens at 7:30 a.m.

The other change that has been initiated for the clinic is splitting up the Novice Horse/Rider division into two divisions.

That gives more opportunity for the novice riders to not feel so intimidated competing against more experienced riders riding novice horses.

There will be additional ribbons as well as an extra trophy at the final show clinic on Saturday, Sept. 17.

For more informatiion, visit the website at www.JCSstables. com.

The Rising Star Series was finally able to hold its first horse show clinic of the 2011 season on Saturday, July 23.

After a spring full of torrential downpours just days before scheduled competitions, Saturday proved to be a gorgeous day with lots of sun and a beautiful breeze.

Competitors, coaches and spectators gained knowledge through the comments and evaluations from Dale Vance of Ottawa.

There are a lot of individuals

responsible for bringing these horse show clinics together but the participants are the most important.

We also want to thank the generosity of our sponsors and the numerous volunteers who help to provide for a safe, fun-filled and exciting day.

Following are the first-place winners of the July 23 JCS Stables Rising Star Series Horse Show Clinic.

Arnprior Pride expands throughout the Valley BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Girls basketball is growing in the Upper Ottawa Valley, and a girls team is changing its name to reflect its wider focus.

“It’s been small – but it’s grown,” said bantam coach Jeff Heath. “We want to expand more, and we’ve expanded our name to show that.”

The girls basketball program based in Arnprior, called the Arnprior Pride, will play under a new name this year. Players will take to the court for the Valley Pride.

The team is expanding to officially include players and practice sites in Almonte and Renfrew.

“There aren’t any teams for the Almonte girls and there are none in Renfrew,” Heath said.

The Arnprior program has been running under the name since it started, said Heath, with under-14 bantam division and under-16 midget divisions. This year, the program will include an under-12 atom division to encompass younger players. The atom program will have two teams – recreational, and competitive.

“There hasn’t been anything for the girls to do in the small towns; it’s hockey hockey hockey, and this gives them an alternative,” he said. “For a little club, we’ve done really well over the last few years and won medals at the Ontario championships.”

The practice sites and schedules are slightly different for each division.

The youngest group, the atoms, will practice in Arnprior once a week.

Bantam girls will practice twice a week in Renfrew and Arnprior, and the oldest midget

girls will play twice a week in Almonte and Arnprior.

The atom and bantam schedules start in mid-September and run through the winter, while the midget schedule complements the high school basketball season by starting in mid-November, as the secondary circuit ends.

Players from all areas are being encouraged to try out for the teams, which carry about 12 players each.

“Parents are great at carpooling,” Heath said, “Both to practices and games.”

The teams play in a 14-game league throughout the Ottawa region, with about three local tournaments, and one away tournament. Last year, the Pride girls travelled to Hamilton and Potsdam to take on GTA and American opponents.

The total cost for players was $350 for the 2010-11 season, with volunteer Basketball Canada certified coaches. This year, Heath will coach the bantam girls, with well known retired coach Dick Holmes instructing the atom girls and Alan Atkinson coaching the midget girls. All coaches contact information is located on the team website at arnpriorbasketballclub.webs.com.

Try-outs will be held at Arnprior District High School at the following times: • Atom, both recreational and competitive (born 2000 or younger): Sept. 15 and 22 from 6-7:30 p.m.; • Bantam (born 1998 or younger): Sept. 19 and 21 from 7:30-9 p.m.; • Midget (born 1996 or younger): Sept 15 and 22 from 7:30-9 p.m.

Try-out pre-registration can be done at valleypridebasketball@ hotmail.com

Stallions round out coaching staff DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

The Kanata Stallions head coach Randy Pierce has rounded out his coaching staff for the 2011-2012 season by adding two assistants and a goalie coach to the stable.

That brings the number of former National Hockey League players on the bench of the Central Canada Hockey League team this season to two.

Pierce, a well-known Pakenham area hockey player and former Arnprior Packers coach, announced on Aug. 8 that Corey Foster and Evan Gray will stand next to him on the bench for games this season, while Paul Schonfelder will work with the team’s netminders.

Foster played four seasons as a defenceman for the Ontario Hockey League’s Peterborough Petes. His best season came in 1989 when he was a member of Canada’s national junior team and won the Memorial Cup with the Petes.

Foster was the 12th overall pick in the 1988 NHL draft by the New Jersey Devils. He played 45 NHL games with New Jersey, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

“Hiring Corey with his knowledge of the game and how to play defence should help our defenceman out a lot,” Pierce said in a release.

Foster, like Pierce, is a former head coach of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Junior B Arnprior Packers.

Gray played for Pierce with the Packers and won two Valley Division titles in 1996 and 1998.

He has previously coached in the Arnprior Minor Hockey Association system.

Schonfelder returns to the Stallions staff after spending time in Toronto for work-related reasons.

He had been the team’s goalie coach for two seasons prior to relocating to the provincial capital.

Pierce, who played 277 NHL games with Colorado, New Jersey and Hartford, was hired by the Stallions on July 7 after former head coach Adam Dewan resigned following the team’s opening-round playoff exit to the Cornwall Colts last season.

Dewan said he wanted to spend more time with his newborn daughter.

The Kanata Stallions are the host of the 2012 Fred Page Cup – eastern Canada’s Junior A championships.

New coach in Perth

Arnprior Packer rivals, the Perth Junior B Blue Wings, have a new coach.

Hamish Fraser has been named the Perth coach. The Carleton Place resident has

coached on numerous levels of hockey with the Mississippi Thunder Kings organization.

In addition, he scouted for the Carleton Place Canadians Junior A team in its first year.

He brings with him to Perth assistant coach and assistant general manager Jamie Rintoul, assistant coach Brodie Hurdis, and trainer Neil Watson.

Duck race benefits many Rotary causes The Rotary Club of Arnprior thanks everyone who supported the Mad Duck Race this year by purchasing tickets.

The club also appreciates the support of the many others who helped make the race, held each year on Canada Day, a success.

They include OPG, OPP, Fire Department, M. Sullivan & Son, and many oth-

yourottawaregion.com connecting your communities

ers, including the water crew, who captured the ducks who were trying to make a break for freedom.

Also praiseworthy is “our fearless captain” of the judging boat, Ellis Marcellus.

“Thanks again to the Arnprior and Area Community for making this a success.”

Arnprior Rotary Club’s fourth annual Canada Day Mad Duck Race co-ordinator Mike McGowan presents cash prizes to second place Barb Smith, left, and first-place Layni Gilmette. Six-year-old Layni, of Arnprior, got a big boost for her Disneyland savings piggy bank by having the fastest duck, which earned her first prize of $1,000 during the event.

Paddling a close second was Smith’s duck, which brought in a prize of $500. Money raised from the race will be used to continue supporting projects including the Children Summer Reading Program at the Library, Rotary Short Term Exchange Students, Disaster Relief through Shelter Boxes, the ‘Who is Nobody’ School Program, and many other projects.

Education

31 August 18 2011 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE

Child centre, student benefit from Summer Experience Grant Arnprior and District Child Care Services has been the lucky recipient of a Summer Experience Grant.

The funds provided by the Ministries of Citizenship and Immigration, Tourism and Culture, and Health Promotion and Sport allows Leaps & Bounds Children’s Centre to benefit by being able to hire a summer student.

The student was able to help at the local child care facility at A.J. Charbonneau Public School over the busy summer months while learning about the career.

The idea behind this grant was to fund non-profit programs in order to hire students to gain experience in their chosen field of education. The Arnprior centre hired Erika Pinnell, who is going into her second year at Algonquin College in the field of early childhood education.

Over the course of the summer, Pinnell experienced what the centre has to offer and what the role of an early childhood educator entails in a quality, non-profit centre.

She was able to spend time in each of the four programs

within the centre; Toddler, Preschool, Kindergarten and School Age. She was welcomed with open arms and hugs each day from the smallest of the children to warm hellos and smiles from the older children.

Pinnell got a rewarding summer job and experience to help her in her studies or future employment.

The centre itself, including the children, staff and families involved, got to benefit from her support and care each day. “What a wonderful opportunity for all involved.”

Scotiabank accepting donations for drought victims Scotiabank branches across Canada are accepting donations to the Red Cross in support of its relief efforts in Africa.

A cycle of severe droughts has led to a humanitarian crisis in the Horn of Africa, which includes Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Uganda. It is estimated nearly 11 million people have been affected, many fleeing their homes, and are left with limited access to food, clean water and shelter.

The Red Cross Red Crescent

Movement has a strong presence in the Horn of Africa and is actively scaling up operations to meet the urgent needs of affected communities.

Scotiabank branches will be accepting donations until Sept. 16 and the Government of Canada has pledged to match individual donations.

JOHN CARTER

About 8,000 blues music and rib fans visited Calabogie Peaks on the weekend to attend what organizers say will definitely become an annual event.

Representatives from the Peaks and Ottawa radio station 101.9 DAWG FM were delighted by the positive response to the inaugural Class Axe Guitars Calabogie Peaks Blues and Ribfest.

“It exceeded expectations,” said DAWG FM sales manager Jeff McFayden. “We’re so happy with the response … we’re already planning for next year.”

McFayden, who admitted he was hesitant at first about the proposal, said the Peaks turned out to be a “fantastic” partner in the venture and the base of the ski hill was “beautiful location” for the bluesfest. “There’s not a better place anyway.”

“We’re all very pleased with the outcome … 8,000 is a great turnout for a first ever event,” said Calabogie Peaks resort president Paul Murphy.

He said the response proves there is a “real appetite” for specialized musical festivals in this area. “We’re just glad we found this one.”

The fans seemed to appreciate

the setting and that the music was 100 per cent blues, said McFayden. Many of the performers who played at the three-day festival raved about being able to play up into the mountain, he added.

He estimated Friday evening’s crowd at about 1,000, Saturday’s at 5,000 and Sunday’s about 2,000. Considering the bluesfest was pulled together in only four months, the response was excellent, he said.

“We were astounded it went off so well.”

“We’re thrilled … it was the perfect spot,” said Bob Besharah of Kemptville’s Class Axe Guitars. “The Murphy’s were great to work with and DAWG took it over the top.”

Murphy said the resort is working on its expanding its event expertise with such happenings as the Snowcross race, Ride the Valley and now Bluesfest, the biggest of them all.

While Ride the Valley supported the Soldier On charity, the bluesfest raised money for three charities, including the doctor recruitment campaign that’s important for the Calabogie area, said Murphy. Class Axe Guitars added $1,200 to the donation by raffling off a guitar, won

A large crowd (estimated by organizers to be close to 5,000) gathered Saturday evening at the inaugural Calabogie Blues and Ribfest at Calabogie Peaks, with the full weekend attendence about 8,000. As well as several well-known blues bands and five ribbers, there was plenty for all ages to do in what was billed a family event. Among the attractions was a NASCAR race track, which is coming to downtown Arnprior for the White Pine Festival Saturday, Aug. 27. Above Brian Weatherall, left enjoys the race, which was won by the father-and-son team of Eric and Finley Fletcher (second from right) of Calabogie.

The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police is urging parents to take more responsibility for the actions of their children.

In a news release this week, the OPP warns that its officers will enforce the curfew provisions of the Child and Family Services Act that prohibits children under 16 from loitering in public places between midnight and 6 a.m.

“Parents play an extremely important role in crime prevention in Renfrew and area. It takes everyone to keep our community safe, said Staff Sergeant Colin Slight.

SEX ASSAULT INVESTIGATIONS Renfrew OPP officers investigated two sexual assault complaints during the past week.

The first investigation began Aug. 11 when a female victim reported unwanted sexual touching by a male acquaintance. The inves-

tigation was conducted and no charges were laid, as there were no grounds to believe a criminal offence had been committed. Det. Const. Lori Birmingham investigated.

The second complaint was received Aug. 12 when a female reported being sexually assaulted in Renfrew. All involved parties have been identified, and witnesses are being interviewed. The investigation is continuing by Det. Const. Wendy Burchell.

Hydro One is urging Ontario residents to call Crime Stoppers to report suspected copper theft from its stations and facilities in an attempt to fight a rise of incidents that cause a serious safety concern.

Recently a young male was badly burned while allegedly attempting to steal copper from a transformer station.

“Stealing the copper fittings that ground high-voltage equipment is extremely dangerous. Copper thieves risk serious or fatal injury, and put employees, first responders and the public at risk,” said Myles D’Arcey, Hydro One senior vice-president of operations.

“It’s dangerous for Hydro One employees to enter a transformer station after a

theft has occurred and work around high voltage equipment that is not properly grounded.”

Copper wire theft continues to increase in North America, and Hydro One has been the target of a growing number of thefts in recent months, from an average of 10 per month six months ago to 16 per month this summer. Hydro One contin-

ues to welcome the assistance of police and scrap dealers’ associations in targeting thieves, and to also welcome the assistance of members of the public who can report suspected copper theft by calling Crime Stoppers anonymously.

To report a suspected theft anonymously, Ontario residents can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

No jumping, urge police Police are advising local youth not to jump off highway bridges.

On Aug. 3 at about 4 p.m., police stopped at the Highway 17 bridge over the Mississippi River and spoke to

a group of youngsters about the safety risks in jumping off bridges.

The youth were spotted leaping into the Mississippi River from the bridge near Hunt Line Road.

Teens fall victim to booze Experimenting with alcohol can be deadly.

Police report that emergency services were called to a home in West Carleton at around 1 a.m. last Sunday after receiving a 911 call for intoxicated teenagers in distress. The 911-caller told the

operator that 13- and 14-year-old girls had been secretively drinking vodka throughout the night.

They were found unconscious and vomiting and breathing abnormally.

The girls were taken to children’s hospital by ambulance for

detoxification and monitoring, police report.

Apparently, the girls had been drinking vodka while their parents slept.

Bridge club expanding its offerings to seniors, beginners JOHN CARTER John.carter@metroland.com

Arnprior and District Bridge Club president Wayne Daze purposely held off on making a donation to the local

food bank.

And the food bank is glad he did.

The bridge club made a series of donations from proceeds gained from its regular sessions and a major tournament it held during the winter.

The club made donations for a student scholarship and to the Arnprior and District Humane Society, Arnprior Public Library and Mel’s Flowers Christmas dinner.

But Daze held the food donation off until summer, because this is the time the organization is in most need of money.

“This particular donation (cash) is really appreciated this time of year,” said Arnprior and District Food Bank president Kathy Tonkin.

The local bridge club is thriving,

have grown to more than 100 members.

The players meet every Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Arnprior public library.

The group is also starting up a Friday afternoon session, catering to seniors who are available then. The 1 p.m. games will start in the second or third week of September.

The bridge club is also holding games for beginners at 7 p.m. Mondays.

For more information about any of the club’s activities call Daze at 613623-2131 or email siddaze@gmail.com.

BLUES ON THE MOUNTAIN Above, Toronto blues guitarist Wild T wows the crowd as he plays an almost two-hour set late Saturday afternoon at the Calabogie Blues and Ribfest.

Wild T (Tony Springer), who played with his band the Spirit, has toured with such well-known rock acts as Jeff Healey, David Bowie and Bon Jovi. Once known for his uncanny tribute to Jimi Hendrix, Wild T has become a recording artist with his own hit songs.

Below, David Gogo gives his well-used guitar a workout during his show at the Peaks.
