Film project takes off

SPORTS

Avery Mulvihill, 8, escapes through a field in a scene from the David Ridgen film Cicada. This is the first acting job for the young Arnpriorite, whose family says is taking the whole experience in stride. Ridgen, who calls Arnprior his hometown, has several Ottawa Valley locations in mind for the movie. There are opportunities to contribute to the award-winning filmmaker’s project.

No MB support for JRC objectives News - While the joint recreation committee - formed to come up with funding proposals for shared services - hoped for formal support for its mission statement and goals and objectives from McNab-Braeside council, they’re not getting it. Council rejected a motion to support the items following a discussion at the July 2 meeting. Committee members were upset after discovering council had already decided funding will not be coming from the 2014 tax base. And that a survey was released asking who uses town facilities and is prepared to support them financially.

The McNab-Braeside Township has declared it would no longer help pay for the operation of the Nick Smith Centre through property taxes. Mayor Reid doesn’t know why there is even a roadblock to a long-term agreement between the municipalities. See SHOULD, Page 2
