Try, try againTown pitches new recreation, library agreementsoff er in eff ort to reach a deal with McNab-BraesideDerek [email protected]

News – Arnprior’s latest service agreements offer to McNab-Braeside is a $104,000 reduction over three years.

Mayor David Reid at Monday’s coun-cil meeting fulfi lled a promise to review the numbers annually when it comes to township users of the library and Nick Smith Centre. The last signed agreement, in 2013, had the township pay $237,000 that year.

The current offer is sweetened thanks to a population increase in Arnprior from 8,100 to 8,700; the delayed phase-in of the deal if a new agreement is reached; and the updated town fi nancial state-ments.

There hasn’t been an agreement in place since the township walked away from negotiations last year.

Mayor Mary Campbell and the major-ity of McNab-Braeside councillors said the agreements offer is too expensive for some township residents and isn’t based on transparent usage numbers.

On affordability, each township resi-dent would pay just under $21 this year for recreation and just under $13 for li-brary use per capita.

The amount would climb up going forward. Town residents pay $105 and $41 per capita, respectively, and would trend downward in future.

Reid admits the number of users isn’t exact, but that given the nature of run-ning a recreation complex with numer-ous services and programs, exact calcu-lations are impossible.

“At the end of the day we are as open and transparent as we can. Everything is factual,” he said. “We try the best we can but it’s not a perfect science.”

He maintains it is a good deal, that it is roughly on par with nearby munici-palities like Beckwith, Perth, and Lau-rentian who also purchase services. And that Arnprior residents will still pay 400 per cent more for recreation and 150 per cent more for the library than do McNab-Braeside residents, he says.

M-B taxpayers face overall 2.7 per cent tax boostSherry Haaimasherry/[email protected]

News – The numbers are in and it looks like McNab-Braeside ratepay-ers will face a 2.7 per cent bottom line property tax increase this year.

Substantial investments in the fi re

department and maintaining about $162,000 for recreation programming and facility enhancements are included in the proposed budget.

Township treasurer Angela Lochtie presented the updated draft budget to council May 6.

“Based on this draft budget informa-

tion, the overall tax rate increase - in-clusive of township, county and school - to McNab-Braeside property owners is 2.7 per cent or $26.33 per $100,000 of assessment,” said Lochtie.

The municipal garbage levy is also increasing, reports Lochtie.

Residential properties will see a $20

increase in 2014.A township press release says

the township tax levy (revenue col-lected through taxes) is rising from the $3,245,372 in the 2013 budget to $3,707,610, an increase of $462,238.

Continued from frontWith the net real property assess-

ment growth taken into consideration, this levy change represents an increase of 13.57 per cent.

Reductions in the Renfrew county and school board levies have helped balance off the considerable munici-pal increase.

Included in the rise are key expendi-tures in the fi re department, an essen-tial service, explain township offi cials. Breathing apparatus for fi refi ghters as well as replacement of an aging pump-er are among the investments.

Also, the fi re department has re-organized in 2014 to provide an im-proved level of service to residents.

Gravel resurfacing has been added back into the budget, after being cut in

News – Contrary to an implication in last week’s Chronicle-Guide story, ‘Teen Cyclist Asked To Pay For Truck Damages’, local lawyer Nancy Donnelly was not a witness to the collision between a pickup and a boy on a bicycle.

Continued from front McNab-Braeside residents would

not be expected to chip in for capi-tal expenditures, contribute to the $90,000 youth programs, or see an annual increase of more than one per cent to account for infl ation.

“We want to try and get an agree-ment done,” Reid said.

“It’s important not only for their residents but our residents and all the users. It has an impact on everybody.”

The agreement would start July 1.Coun. Dan Lynch was worried that

if the township doesn’t go for it there would be no open offer on the table after that date.

“It looks like we are putting a gun to their head,” Lynch said.

Reid called it a “soft deadline” that would go into place at any moment, but that July 1 is a deadline that works best for Nick Smith Centre’s fi nancial calendar.

Township councillors were invit-ed to the May 12 meeting, but none showed. McNab-Braeside mayoral candidate Tom Peckett did attend.

Campbell could not be reached for comment by press deadline.

Township Coun. Aldene Styles, who is also running for mayor, was reached by phone on Tuesday morn-ing. She appreciates Reid’s efforts and favours a deal that suits all local leg-islators.

“It shows they are wanting to work something out,” Styles said. “If both sides could reach an agreement they can live with, it would be the best way to go.”

Styles said her council was to meet Tuesday evening to discuss the issue. She wants the township recreation ad-visory committee to participate in the decision-making process. That com-mittee has been frustrated with coun-cil’s handling of the issue.

2013 to address increases in other service areas, including recreation.

Price increases for energy and policing, money to pay for the upcoming Ontario Munic-ipal Board hearing scheduled for March 2015 and an investment in physician recruitment are other drivers behind the increase, say the town-ship.

Mayor Mary Campbell congratulated the treasurer, a new member of the township staff, on the draft.

“Really well done Angie,” she said.

NOTES

A breakdown of the reasons behind the increase: fi re department capital spending ($152,527 increase) and staff reorganization ($53,760); planning for the OMB hearing ($80,000); roads resurfacing ($70,000); polic-ing ($26,598); physician recruitment ($25,000), energy price increases excluding landfi ll ($23,919), equipment repair cost increases ex-cluding landfi ll ($15,957) and other increases including an energy audit and parking bylaw

enforcement ($14,478).Council has opted to go with the recreation

committee’s recommendation that $162,600 be budgeted for recreation programming and facility enhancements. That fi gure currently includes Red Pine Bay boat launch dredging ($20,000) and $7,000 for new programs. Fol-lowing the adoption of the budget, the line as-sociated to the dredging will be moved from recreation to public works. For the purposes of reporting, say offi cials, the item must remain as a recreation activity.

Staff will develop a formal policy for report-ing in-kind donations. The recording of in-kind donations has both accounting policy/audit im-plications and practical, administrative consid-erations. Implementing the change will have a zero bottom-line impact on the overall budget.

PASSING

Council will consider passing a bylaw to adopt the 2014 operating and capital budgets at its next regular meeting Tuesday, May 20 at 7 p.m. at the township council chambers.New deal

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE

By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals [email protected] (613) 598-4894

This is one of a series of several articles

intended to build awareness about the

impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO.

In addition to the spiritual and community

benefi ts of gifting to a registered charity,

naming a registered charity as a benefi ciary

in your Will can also be an effective way

to minimize the fi nal income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning,

a deceased’s income tax liability could

be signifi cant. Various income inclusions

at the time of death, such as deemed

capital gains and the fair market value of an

RRSP can result in a higher than expected

estate income tax liability given Canada’s

graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash

legacies, bequests of real or personal

property, securities, life insurance proceeds

and all or part of the residue of the estate.

All of these gifts can potentially generate

tax credits available to reduce an estate’s

income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting

of certain types of capital property to

Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will

may avoid capital gains but still maximize

the tax credits available from such a gift.

Please feel free to contact any member

of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee

for more information about minimizing the

tax liability of your estate and how you can

make a lasting impact on the kids and

families at CHEO. We would be happy to

help you create your Forever CHEO legacy

for generations of CHEO patients.

If you are interested in fi nding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

[email protected] or (613) 738-3694 cheofoundation.com

Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be signifi cant

News - Arnprior joined the nation-wide Day of Hon-our last Friday by saluting Canadians who were killed and wounded in the Afghan-istan confl ict.

Flags were lowered to half-mast during ceremonies at both Arnprior Town Hall and the Stanley Tourangeau Fire/Police Services Centre.

As well as remembering the dead the wounded, the Day of Honour was a tribute to all veterans and a celebra-tion of the strength of mili-tary families.

Proclaimed by the fed-eral government, it marked the end of Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan.

Arnprior veteran Wayne Pickering, who happened to be in the vicinity of the fi re

hall when the ceremony took place at 1:30 p.m., joined OPP and Arnprior fi re de-partment representatives in taking in the fl ag lowering and observing two minutes of silence.

The ceremony had spe-cial meaning for Pickering, a retired Lieutenant Colonel who spent 38 years in the Canadian Army.

While he didn’t serve in Afghanistan, his nephew and a number of friends did. And one of his son’s friends didn’t come back alive, he noted.

Arnprior fi re chief John Okum emceed the ceremony at the fi re hall/police station, noting that it is important to remember those who served

the country so well in Af-ghanistan.

He said that ceremonies across the country on May 9 gave Canadians the op-portunity to refl ect upon the sacrifi ces made during the mission.

Among the other events in the region were a ceremony at CFB Petawawa and a pa-rade and tribute in Ottawa.

After the fl ag ceremony for the veterans, the OPP also lowered a fl ag to half mast to mourn the death of Thunder Bay OPP Const. Joe Prevett.

The 50-year-old offi cer went into medical distress and died during a K-9 train-ing session in Gravenhurst May 7.

The OPP report a storage unit at the Kenwood Corporate Centre had items stolen. The victims reported the theft took place in March or April, but was just being reported as they had recovered some stolen property at a local pawn shop.

The stolen property includes a safe containing identifi cation and jewelry.

Police are also investigating after several storage units on Staye Court Drive in Arnprior were entered. Locks were cut off

the doors and some of the stolen property includes two Master craft power drills in cases, a Master craft circular saw and a Delta chop saw. The break-in was reported on May 2, but it is unclear when it happened.

OPP Constable Denis Ba-ranovskiy is investigating both storage unit break-ins.

They were two of 215 calls responded to last week by the Renfrew OPP Detach-ment, which includes Arnprior. Among them were nine domes-tic disputes, which resulted in one man being charged with assault.

Another bicycle was stolen

in Arnprior and OPP are warn-ing owners this is the time of year that bikes are a target of thieves.

The OPP report two bikes were stolen from people’s yards overnight last week, one in Ren-frew and one in Arnprior. The Arnprior case involves the theft of an 18-speed Supercycle sto-len on May 7 from an address on Carswell Street in Arnprior.

A wallet was stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Poole Street overnight May 6. The OPP reminds vehicle owners to remove valuables from their vehicles and lock them when away.

News – Arnprior continues with its recent tradition of supplying an NDP candidate for provincial and federal elections.

Last decade it was Eric Burton car-rying the New Democratic torch. For the 2011 and 2014 provincial elec-tions it is Brian Dougherty.

Dougherty, a licensed electrician and soon-to-be plumber, married Arnprior’s Kimberly Conroy and has lived in her hometown for six years. (They have two daughters: Samantha, 10, and Sydney, 6.)

Born and raised in Mississauga, he was never a fan of big cities and so moved to Timmins to attend college. The couple moved to Calgary for 10 years where Dougherty worked at a treatment centre and homeless shel-ter.

But it was in Northern Ontario that politics took hold of him in earnest. It is there he met the area’s MPP Gilles Bisson and former NDP leader How-ard Hampton.

The young man was growing in-creasing frustrated with the right’s turn away from Red Tory aspirations that

held a progressive element to embrac-ing the more controversial policies of Mike Harris. He admired Hampton’s appeal to lower middle class voters. But he was especially taken by Bis-son’s constituency work.

“Just how he interacted with his constituents. There’s a wide variety of people in that riding and he did an in-credible job of serving them,” Dough-erty said.

Asked what the New Democrats have to do to win the June 12 election, Dougherty was blunt: money; that and a shift in the discourse toward a fair treatment of where the left stands these days.

“I got called a communist the other day. I mean, come on. We don’t even have the word socialist (in our litera-ture) anymore,” he said.

“We are a party who stands up for people who need it. Everyone else says they want to help, but no one does.”

One way to do that, he said, is to implement the Investment Tax Credit plan. It will reward manufacturers that invest in buildings, machinery and equipment in Ontario.

Dougherty is keen to point to an-other campaign promise. The Job Cre-ation Tax Credit is designed to help

companies that are ready to invest in training local workers and equipment. Unlike Liberal and PC ideas, the NDP isn’t offering a no-strings attached of-fer to business.

“If you create a job, you get a tax break,” he said. “If you don’t create a job, you don’t get the tax break. That simple.”

Dougherty was offi cially acclaimed the NDP’s candidate in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke at a nomination meeting last Friday at the Steelwork-ers Hall in Renfrew.

Tradesman carries NDP torch again

News - Rod Boileau of Arn-prior was nominated Monday to represent the Liberals in the June 12 provincial election in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.

In a news release Tuesday an-nouncing Boileau’s candidacy, the Liberal party said that over the past 20 years he has been working in various high tech fi rms and “has progressively gained experience in leadership roles.”

It goes on to say that Boileau also dedicates hiimself to helping others through community service and is an active volunteer with Scouts Canada as the group com-missioner for 2nd Arnprior Scout-ing.

“I’m running to help elect Kath-leen Wynne because Tim Hudak only wants to cut jobs in the Ot-tawa Valley,” said Boileau. “We need to help expand our hospitals and give our kids more resources in schools, not fi re early childhood educators in all-day kindergarten and give hospital staff pink slips.

“I want higher paying jobs in the Valley. We need to put the infrastructure in place so we don’t have to commute to Ottawa for jobs. We need to get those jobs here throughout the Valley and we

need safe roads from one end to the other,” he said.

“We don’t need job cuts in our communities. We need investment, and that’s why I’m running as the Liberal candidate in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.”

Boileau is up against incumbent MPP John Yakabuski of the Pro-gressive Conservatives and Brian Dougherty of the NDP.

Retirement is your social responsibility

Sha-la-la-la-la-la/Live for today And don’t worry/‘bout tomorrow

Hey, hey, heyIf you’re old enough to remember that 1967

song by The Grassroots, and lived by its ide-als, there’s a good chance that you’re now neck deep in your own personal retirement crisis.

For a host of reasons, the majority of Baby Boomers failed to plan adequately for their re-tirement.

Just to make ends meet, many seniors are now working well past the traditional retirement age of 65. Across Canada, the median senior exists on far less than $30,000 a year.

It’s even more troubling that the next genera-tion of Ontarians can’t get past today’s fi nancial obligations to set a little aside for a secure to-morrow. They’re spending their so-called ‘ex-tra’ cash paying off student loans or paying for child care or looking after their parents. There simply is no extra money for a nest egg.

Sadly, more than 30 per cent of Gen Xers say they’re counting on a lottery win to stay afl oat fi nancially in their golden years.

Because so many more of us are living well past 65, retirement in Ontario is about to ex-plode into a full-scale fi nancial crisis. Almost 1.3 million Ontario workers have no workplace pension. Almost all of Ontario’s new jobs are being created by small businesses that don’t of-fer a pension plan for employees.

At the same time, many Ontarians just aren’t saving for retirement. Experts say you will need 50-70 per cent of your pre-retirement income to maintain your standard of living in retirement - but many Ontarians can’t or won’t meet this target. As a result, they’ll have to keep working well into their so-called golden years.

The bigger cause for concern, though, is that we’re sticking our collective heads in the sand and pretending it isn’t happening. Employers and workers must be encouraged to take re-sponsibility for their fi nancial futures.

Government and business agree that fi xing Ontario’s pension problem is a priority. But to do that, the system has to change.

Susan Eng of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) is calling on Ontario to make workplace pension plans mandatory. She’s spot on and we couldn’t agree more.

It also should be mandatory for working

Ontarians aged 16 and older to have a pension plan.

The business community overwhelmingly favours the introduction of PRPPs to Ontario workplaces and we think that’s the right way to go. Both employers and the employees con-tribute to a pooled retirement plan and it’s man-aged by independent fi nancial professionals.

Those PRPPs need to be portable. They should follow a working Ontarian from job to job.

And Ontarians need to start asking prospec-tive employers about their pension plan and making it a high priority when they’re consid-ering a job offer: Companies would then need to offer attractive pension plans to attract the brightest, most talented young people.

Small business owners are concerned that a mandatory pension responsibility will prevent them from growing and creating jobs. And we hear them.

Any new legislation making pension plans mandatory should allow for a phase-in period of fi ve years for businesses with three or fewer employees.

Inadequate fi nancial preparedness should be socially taboo, as smoking and drunk driving are now.

We need our young people to buy into the idea that we all need to care about retirement planning, much the way we all recycle for the good of the planet.

Changing the culture starts with education: Schools need to start teaching fi nancial literacy in Grade 7, before young people take on their fi rst part-time jobs.

Financial planning courses should be incor-porated into Ontario’s high school curriculum and successful completion of those courses should be required for a diploma.

Finally, it’s time the provincial government steps up to protect the pensions of hard-work-ing Ontarians. Most Ontario employers contrib-ute to a fund that insures the fi rst $1,000 of an employee’s monthly pension in case the com-pany goes bankrupt. That’s something, but it’s not good enough.

They say that in life, the only sure things are death and taxes. But Ontarians should be able to count on a healthy pension after a lifetime of working hard and contributing to society.

Visiting dog lost, foundin abandoned well

To the Editor:Tootsie’s stay in the country nearly ended

tragically.The city dog was lost for eight hours Tues-

day (May 6) after she fell down an abandoned well off a bush road. But she was rescued Tuesday thanks to the help of our country neighbours.

Every morning for a month, my daughter’s pet, an eight-year-old black Lab, joined our daily walking group of fi ve dogs and seven humans along a 3.5-km stretch of road.

Our dogs go off leash on this isolated road, darting in and out of the woods. Happily wag-ging her tail, Tootsie usually tries to follow our collie, Piper.

But she disappeared when Piper came out of dense section up from the beaver dam and pond. No matter how much we whistled and called, we had no luck.

We retraced our footsteps and then drove the car up and down the road. Our neighbours Tim and Ruth McHugh got their ATVs to search the off-road trails.

Four hours later, we contacted Valley Heri-tage Radio whose announcer alerted listeners to watch for our missing dog on the air; we called all the neighbours, the Animal Shelter, the Humane Society, and anyone who would listen!

Several neighbours suggested leaving an item of clothing at the last spot we saw her since a dog may backtrack and stay with the piece of clothing with our scent. Again, no luck. I prepared my daughter for possible bad news.

None of us would give up, even eight hours later as Tim and Ruth joined us for another off-road search where we last saw her. Sud-denly Kurt and Ruth thought they heard a bark and a whine.

Following the sound through thickets, we found Tootsie staring up at us from an aban-doned well. She was standing on a ledge (about 5 feet from the top), up to her chest in water, just 20 feet off the road.

See BEDRAGGLED Page 9

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community


Continued from Page 8The well had concrete walls, was

deep and fi lled with water, to the ledge.

The opening was about four feet square and was well camoufl aged with an old tree trunk covering part of it!

She looked sooo sad – like a drowned rat.

The two guys got on their bellies, lifted her front and backside out to safety - Tootsie wobbled to the car.

The vet has confi rmed that Tootsie had no major injuries – a bump on her head, some of her nails were worn down to the quick from trying to es-cape.

She is one lucky dog!We are eternally grateful to Tim and

Ruth for being the determined neigh-bours that they are.

What an adventure!

Jane de Snaijer (Flain)Burnstown

Tootsie the dog was rescued from an abandoned well in the Spruce Hedge area near Burnstown last week. It was later determined that the old well once belonged to the old school house that was moved to Springtown. It took eight hours to fi nd her as the hole was camou-fl aged by a fallen tree. Tootsie has no lingering injuries, other than a cut above her eye and all her nails are ground down to the quick from trying to get out.

‘We Create Change’ donation boxes set up at Arnprior area businessesNews – The Arnprior District High

School Free The Children Group’s commu-nity coin drive initiative We Create Change will again be coming to Arnprior and area businesses in May.

Proceeds from this year’s We Create Change campaign will be going towards education programming in Ghana, ADHS’s Adopt-A-Village country for the 2013-2014 school year.

More information is available at www.freethechildren.com/wecreatechange.

This is the second year that the ADHS group has ventured out into the community for We Create Change campaign support.

“Last year, we raised enough pennies to provide four people with clean drinking wa-ter and sanitation facilities for life and we want to do that again this year with Free The Children’s Year of Education,” explained ADHS Free The Children Group leader Oli-ver Jacob.

“We want to involve the community as much as possible so that we can raise awareness in the Arnprior area for children who experience a lack of access to educa-tion around the world,” he said.

The ADHS Free The Children Group has been busy asking local businesses for per-mission to place donation boxes within their establishments for the past month or so.

So far 21 businesses have graciously al-lowed the We Create Change donation box during May.

Donations to We Create Change can be made at several local business.

The donation boxes are located in various spots, including the Arnprior Library, My Chocolate Factory, Play It Again Sports, Jim’s Restaurant, CIBC, Big Daddy’s, The Gallery Gift Shop, Scheel Windows, M Sul-livan and Sons Insurance Restoration, Co-operators Insurance, Hart Stores, Fraser’s Gas Station, Arnprior Chrysler, Peter’s Computer Store (PCS), Scotiabank, Rick’s Pet Store, Arnprior Home Hardware, The

Hair Hut, the Town of Arnprior (Town Hall) and Lone Wolf Designs.

Jacob also offers a big thank you to the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), for sponsor-ing this year’s Free The Children campaign in the Arnprior area.

The public and other business owners can also make donations to the ADHS Free The Children Group directly by contacting Jacob at [email protected].

Donations of $10 or more are eligible for a tax receipt.

Donation boxes collecting change to help Arnprior District High School students assist youth in Ghana through the We Create Change Free the Children program have been set up in several Arnprior area businesses this month.

News - The Renfrew County council has ratifi ed a new collective agreement with the area’s paramedics.

The county’s of negotiating team advised council that it was able to reach an agreement with the county’s emergency services employees who were represented by CUPE, Local 4698. Union members have also rati-fi ed the agreement.

The new two-year collective agreement that runs to December 2015 includes a wage increase of 1.5 per cent in 2014, and 1.75 per cent in 2015.

This brings the agreement in-line with recent deals made with the employees of long term care homes in the county.

Additionally, other items that saw some change were enhancements to the vision benefi t coverage, footwear allowance, a slight increase to the shift premium allow-ance, and the addition of major restorative dental co-in-surance premium sharing.

There were modifi cations to the language surround-ing staffi ng and scheduling included as well.

County Warden Peter Emon thanked the negotiat-ing team for its efforts in the negotiations on behalf of county council.

“We feel it was a fair and equitable negotiation that ended with a successful agreement,” he said. “Our para-medics provide an important service for all our commu-nities, and we respect and appreciate the work they do as well as their partnership.”

“I’m pleased to see that the agreement was reached quickly and in a way that shines as an example of work-ing together to a mutually benefi cial end,” said the coun-ty’s director of emergency services, Michael Nolan.

Rare encounter with a TimberdoodleLifestyle - Many birds are

easy to see.American Robins run across

lawns and American Gold-fi nches aerially bound from tree to tree. However, when on their nest, cryptic behaviour and concealment make those birds very diffi cult to fi nd.

Some birds are hard to see all of the time. When Brown Creepers hug tree trunks, they become living bark. Even more diffi cult to see are Amer-ican Woodcocks, whose mot-tled patterns perfectly match the dead leaves on which they rest.

Woodcocks are odd-look-ing sandpipers. They have fat bodies, bulky heads, and very long bills. Their large eyes are placed near the upper back part of their head to provide binoc-ular vision behind and above them when they are probing

their long bills into the ground for earthworms, their main food.

Now you might think that a long beak stuck deep in the ground causes problems when its owner tries to open it to grab a worm.

Indeed it would, which is why woodcocks are able to also open the very tip of their bill, a part loaded with sensory cells for detecting worms.

Woodcocks can be confused with Wilson’s Snipes, another odd-looking sandpiper. Unlike woodcocks, however, snipes have striped heads and com-monly sit on fence posts.

Recently I was walking along a road that meandered through a shrubby fi eld and glanced behind to see a wood-cock crossing the road.

When they walk, wood-cocks rock back and forth, put-ting their weight on the most forward foot. This peculiar movement has been suggest-ed to send vibrations into the ground that make earthworms come to the surface. (Interest-ingly, Wood Turtles are re-puted to stomp the ground to achieve the same result).

I quickly ran back, but even

An American Woodcock’s patterns perfectly match dead leaves on the ground.

though I was likely within mere metres of where the bird left the road, I couldn’t see it. With their perfect camoufl age, as long as they don’t move, woodcocks are invisible.

But then to my delight I spotted not the woodcock but its nest containing four large, patterned eggs!

More scrutiny eventually turned up the woodcock sit-ting motionless mere feet from its nest. Not wanting to keep it off its eggs, I snapped a couple of quick photos and left.

Later I returned to fi nd the

woodcock was sitting on her nest, her camoufl age render-ing her invisible to the rest of the world.

In spring, male woodcocks perform remarkable court-ship displays at dawn and dusk. When they rise from the ground – their resting site an-nounced by repeated “beeps” or “peents” - their outer wing feathers twitter and they utter high-pitched chirps.

They spiral up high into the sky, then fall back down like drifting leaves, a feature that likely gave rise to the moni-

ker: “timberdoodle.”Females choose the best

performers, who father most of the young in their neigh-bourhood.

Aldo Leopold eloquently described the woodcock’s display as: “such dawn and dusk sky dances” are a living “refutation of the theory that the utility of a game bird is to serve as a target, or to pose gracefully on a slice of toast.”

Ducks Unlimitedbanquet, auctionraises $27,000for wetlands

News - The Arnprior Chapter of Ducks Unlimited Canada raised close to $27,000 for wildfowl habitat in this area at its annual Conservation Ban-quet and fundraising auction at the Nick Smith Centre April 25.

“It was our most successful dinner we had yet,” said Ducks Unlimited lo-cal chapter member Chris Coady, who played a key role in organizing the fundraiser.

The dinner sold out with 208 peo-ple from all over the region attending to socialize and bid on a wealth of do-nated auction items.

“It’s a big draw,” said Coady. “We have a great mix of people who have been coming here for years.”

He was also impressed by the num-ber of youth in the crowd, noting it bodes well for the future of conserva-tion and habitat protection.

Ducks Unlimited Canada chief operating offi cer Jamie Fortune at-tended and praised the Coadys and the Arnprior chapter members for do-ing a “wonderful job” in ensuring that “we’ll all be better off in the future.”

Arnprior is a “fabulous town” and its people are taking a leadership role in preserving wetlands, he said, add-ing that all the money raised at the event will go toward projects in this region.

In the Arnprior area, Ducks Unlim-ited has enhanced almost 700 acres of wetland habitat.

Also attending was Ducks Unlim-ited Ontario manager of events and volunteer relations Tim Binch, who praised the local organizers for host-ing a successful fundraiser year after year.

Coady thanked all the donors, spon-sors, volunteers. auctioneer Blake Corbin, caterer Shari Rathwell and his “great committee” for making the fundraiser possible.

Masks a big hit at John XXIII artsfestJohn XXIII Grade 6 student Macey Hanniman shows off her moulded lion face during the school’s artfest May 7 during Ontario Catholic Education Week. Her ‘lion’, called “cool” by passers-by, is fl anked by Chyanna Belaire’s ‘amazing penguin’ and Trinity Berube’s ‘parrot paloza’. The students of Jacqueline Ryan’s class took a plaster of Paris mould of each of their faces and then designed and painted them in the image of a creature that inspired them. The moulds also came with a crossword puzzle that provided facts about the subject. The masks were among the many art works on display at the school for the artfest. Next up for John XXIII is its annual Mayfest today (Thursday) from 5 to 7 p.m. at the school.

News – Another season of fresh produce, local products and friendly smiles are to get underway this Saturday, May 17 at the Arnprior Farmers’ Market.

The market will be located at 10 Galvin St., the Agricul-tural Society’s Fairgrounds next to the Curling Club.

It will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Saturday start-ing this weekend and through to Oct 11.

It provides a great opportu-nity for the community to sup-port the local economy while benefi ting from fresh local products.

The Farmers’ Market has a new approach this year under the stewardship of the Arn-prior Agricultural Society. It

features a new website, new logo, brochures and a series of events to run in conjunction with the market.

Radio station 107.7 MyFM Arnprior has provided a gen-erous sponsorship to assist the market in getting the word out to the public.

Market organizers are pleased to report a good num-ber of vendors have already signed up and will be in place for opening day.

Among the several vendors already known to the market-goers include Glen Dochart Farm (Mary Campbell) with her selection of naturally raised grass-fed beef, Scottish baking, marmalade and jellies and Chridomar Gardens & Tasty Treats with a selection

of locally grown fruits, veg-etables and herbs in season, pesticide/chemical-free, jams, relishes, salsas, pestos and sweet treats.

In addition to the market, the Arnprior Agricultural Society will host at the fair-grounds a community garage sale on May 31 and a truck and tractor pull and dance on June 21.

This Saturday, rain or shine, will be just the fi rst of what will be interesting times for the new-look market.

Watch for updates on sea-sonal items and ongoing spe-cial events on the website www.ArnpriorMarket.com, the market’s Facebook page and follow it on Twitter at Arnprior Market.

News – The OPP is report-ing that off-road vehicle (ORV) deaths have reached a four-year high and the causal factors, es-pecially the decision not to wear helmets, have the OPP con-cerned heading into the Victoria Day long weekend.

Twenty people died in ORV incidents in OPP jurisdiction during 2013, compared to 12 in 2012, 14 in 2011 and 17 in 2010. Of the 20 fatalities in 2013, 13 of them were attributed to lack of helmet use and nine of them involved alcohol consumption.

The alarming statistics have the OPP warning ORV riders who include alcohol and ex-clude helmets as part of their riding activity to curb these deadly behaviours before these leading causes of ORV deaths continue on an upward trend.

The OPP is also asking the public to partner with them to reduce the rising number of ORV fatalities. Offi cers are call-ing on the family members and friends of ORV enthusiasts to urge their loved ones to wear a helmet and drive sober.

“Over the past 10 years (2004-2013), a total of 263 peo-ple have died in ORV incidents within OPP jurisdiction,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair. “Imagine how much more devastating losing a fam-ily member or friend would be if you knew they were impaired or not wearing a helmet and you

didn’t intervene to save their life.”

Motorcycle deaths are an-other OPP statistic that is on the rise. A total of 28 motorcyclists died (in OPP jurisdiction) in 2013, compared to 26 in 2012 and 21 in 2011.

Impaired, aggressive and dis-tracted driving are all common contributing factors in motor-

cycle crashes investigated by the OPP. Sadly, in some cases, the riders were not doing any-thing wrong when the collision occurred.

“Among the most tragic of the 26 motorcycle fatalities last year are the 11 in which the mo-torcyclist was driving properly at the time of the collision,” said OPP Chief Superintendent Don Bell.

“Far too often, our collision reconstruction investigations re-veal that the actions of another driver were a causal factor. This makes motorcycle safety an is-

sue to which all road users need to pay close attention.”

Motorcyclists are more vul-nerable than other road users because motorcycles are tough-er to see than other vehicles and they provide virtually no protec-tion in the event of a crash. For this reason, all motorists need to maintain a keen awareness of their surroundings and always be on watch for motorcycles, say police.

With high volumes of traffi c expected over the long week-end, OPP offi cers throughout the province will be doing their part to keep people safe, both on and off-road. They are count-ing on one of their most valued partners - the many drivers and ORV enthusiasts who head out this weekend – to drive and ride safely in a collective effort to get through the weekend inci-dent-free.

Leading up to and over the May Long Weekend, the OPP are taking part in Canada Road Safety Week, running May 13-19.

During the campaign, the OPP and its policing partners will be focusing their education and enforcement efforts on the ‘Big Four’ driving behaviours on Ontario roads that place all roads users at risk. These are driving impaired by alcohol or drugs, failure to use or improper use of seat belts, and distracted and aggressive driving.

Community – With the Victoria Day weekend approaching, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is asking people to pause and remember to make safety a priority when near the water.

While all waterways should be treated with respect, people should use extra care when near lakes and rivers that have dams and hydroelec-tric generating stations.

Hydroelectric facilities are often remotely controlled to generate elec-tricity as needed.

This causes frequent and rapid changes in the water fl ow and levels, often creating strong undertows, tur-bulence and sudden, powerful surges of water moving downstream in what was once calm looking surface water.

“Our safety message is simple: Stay Clear. Stay Safe. That is true year round,” said Mike Martelli, OPG’s se-nior vice-president of Hydro Thermal Operations.

“Obey all signs, booms, buoys and fences – they are there for your pro-tection.”

News - The Ontario government re-cently announced $2 million in interim funding for University of Guelph’s training programs at Kemptville Col-lege.

But that’s not good enough, accord-ing to college spokesmen, knowing the provincial government planned to close the Kemptville campus by the end of 2015.

Renfrew County council, in a strongly-worded resolution passed at its May 1 session, has lobbied to pre-serve existing academic and research programs at the college.

The $2 million allocation for skills-training next year is in support of six trades, including agricultural equip-ment technicians, heavy-duty equip-ment technicians, welders and dairy

herdsmen. Kemptville college, which was established in 1916, has been part of the Ontario Agricultural College of the University of Guelph since 1997.

The $2 million in funding isn’t enough “to ensure that the agri-busi-ness sector in this region has a skilled and well-educated workforce,” said Brian Carre, chairman of the Kemp-tville College Renewal Task Force, following an April 29 rally by eastern Ontario farm leaders.

Renfrew County council’s resolu-tion “urges in the strongest possible way that the Honourable Kathleen Wynne, in both her capacity as premier of Ontario and minister and agriculture and food, immediately re-establish the agricultural programs at the Kemptville campus, creating a Centre of Agricul-tural Excellence in the East.”

The resolution says there are several reasons the skills training needs to con-

tinue. For one, the county opposes the announcement to suspend the college’s agriculture diploma program for the fall 2014 semester because agriculture is eastern Ontario’s largest private sec-tor employer and “we need to ensure that the agri-business sector in this re-gion has a skilled and well-educated workforce.”

The resolution also says local stake-holders were not afforded the chance to participate in developing alternative solutions to closing the Kemptville campus by the end of 2015.

The $2 million in interim funding, notes county council, still reduces the college’s number of trades programs to 10. Among other things, the govern-ment says the $2 million will allow stu-dents already enrolled in agriculture, equine care and food science programs to complete those programs in Kempt-ville in 2014-15.

News - The University of Guelph is maintaining a number of trades and special skills programs at the Kempt-ville Campus for the 2014-2015 aca-demic year.

As announced on April 22, the Kemptville Campus received $2 mil-lion in one-time funding from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) to support the full cost of 10 additional trades pro-grams being offered at the campus in 2014/2015.

“We are pleased that apprentice-ship and trades programming can continue at the campus while a lon-ger-term strategy is developed by the province,” said Patricia Remillard, as-sociate director for business develop-ment and skills training at Kemptville Campus.

The following programs are being offered at the Kemptville Campus during the 2014/2015 academic year and are accepting applications. The announced $2 million provided by the ministry will support the programs in-dicated by an asterisk * below.

Summer 2014 Intake:• Certifi cate - Gas Technician*.Fall 2014 Intake:

• Certifi cate - Industrial Welding and Fabrication.

• Horticulture Apprenticeship Lev-el I*.

• Dairy Herdsperson Apprentice-ship*.

• Diesel Equipment Technician (Truck and Coach) Apprenticeship Level I*.

• Agricultural Equipment and Heavy Equipment Technician Level II*.

Winter 2015 Intake:• Horticulture Apprenticeship Lev-

el II*.• Agricultural Equipment and

Heavy Equipment Technician Level III*.

• Welding Apprenticeship Level I*.• Welding Apprenticeship Level

III*.Students applying to these pro-

grams are encouraged to do so as soon as possible, and no later than June 30.

No new students will be admit-ted into associate diploma or degree programs at the Kemptville Campus. However, the campus will continue to deliver second-year programming to students currently enrolled in associ-ate diplomas and degrees.

News - The announcement of $2 million in provincial government funding to continue some of the agri-cultural programs at Kemptville Col-lege is music to the ears of the Ontar-io Federation of Agriculture (OFA).

The new funds, announced April 22, extend select skills training pro-grams for one academic year, begin-ning this September at the University of Guelph’s Kemptville campus.

The government announcement in-dicates the funding will provide skills training in trades that support the ag-ricultural sector in Eastern Ontario, including welding, dairy herdsperson and agricultural equipment, heavy duty equipment, truck and coach, and horticultural technicians.

and dairy herdsperson.“This is the fi rst positive message

we’ve had since the announcement was made to close the college less than a month ago,” says OFA presi-dent Mark Wales, in a news release circulated by the Renfrew County OFA.

“Our industry, together with east-ern Ontario communities, is grateful for the program extensions. We are still hopeful a solution can be found to continue offering the associate di-ploma and degree programs in agri-culture at Kemptville College too.”

Students already enrolled in the campus’s associate diploma pro-grams in agriculture, equine care and food science will be able to complete their programs in Kemptville for 2014-15.

OFA says it strongly believes the industry needs a plan, continued in-vestment and support for agricultural training institutions such as Kempt-ville College.

According to recent University of Guelph research, there are two jobs waiting for every diploma graduate in Ontario and three jobs waiting for ev-ery degree program graduate. “These job opportunities demonstrate the strength of Ontario’s agri-food sector and the promising future it offers the next generation,” says the OFA.

Ontario Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities Brad Du-guid recently announced a new fa-cilitator position will be appointed to assist in the development of a long-term solution to keep Kemptville College operating.

The OFA says it supports the min-ister and “looks forward to working with the provincial facilitator, indus-try stakeholders and the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force to con-tinue delivering agricultural and skills training courses at the college.”

Sports – The Pembroke Lumber Kings of the Central Canada Hockey Junior A League think so much of Arnprior centre Liam Hawel that they made the 15-year-old hockey player their number one protected player in this spring’s draft of bantam elite players.

Hawel, who accumulated 44 points in 29 games with the Ottawa Valley Titans Ban-tam AAA team this season and tied for the league scoring title, was taken ninth overall in the bantam elite draft, the fi rst of three

players protected by the Lumber Kings. The Ottawa-born Hawel is listed as being 6’2” and 150 lb. on the elite hockey pros-pects website.

The other players taken by Pembroke in the protection draft were forwards Kris Lalonde from Almonte, who also plays for the Ottawa Valley Titans Bantam AAA, and defenceman Wade Brennan from the Otta-wa Senators Bantam AAA team.

Pakenham player Logan Buchanan was the second protection taken by league

champion Carleton Place Canadians, draft-ed 24th overall.

The bantam draft preceded the CCHL entry draft April 28 at the Earl Armstrong Arena in Gloucester.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS

Area players taken in the entry draft in-cluded Adam Church of Pakenham, David Silye and Jonathan Ready of Arnprior, and Isaac Perreault of Braeside.

Sports - May Madness took over the Abba ball diamonds in Arnprior May 9-10.

The fi rst of the Valley Triple Threat Slo-pitch series is now complete and when all was said and done it was the ‘I’d Hit That’ team winning the A fi nal over Ottawa-based team The Lodge. The fi nal score was 17-16.

There was a total of 16 teams playing in three divi-sions.

Organizer Steve Madaire said the co-ed event was a suc-cess and players are already looking forward to the next tournament in the series.

Saturday’s balmy weather made for a great day on the fi eld.

“You couldn’t have asked for a better day”, said Ma-daire.

It’s an inaugural event, but organizers are already looking to the future.

“This is the fi rst time, but it’s defi nitely going to be an annual thing,” said Madaire.

RESULTS

In the B fi nal, Semi Hard-ball were victorious over the Sons of Slo-pitch 19-17.

Home run contest winner

was Greg Waito of the Double Baggers of Petawawa.

UPCOMING

The series consists of three events. The team with the most

points will then be presented with the trophy.

Next up is The Classic July 12-13 and then The Prior Showdown Aug. 9-10.

All games will be played on the Abba diamonds.

Driving is, to many

Canadians, a daily part of life.

It can also be dangerous at the

best of times, since a motorist

has to take into account both

their own actions, as well as

those of motorists around

them. Increasing the risk and a

serious issue facing Canadians

is distractions to the driver.

The upcoming months of June,

July and August historically

have the highest fatality and

injury rates each year.

May 13th marks the beginning

of National Road Safety

Week and, whether you operate

a car, a motorcycle, a scooter,

a bicycle, or a pair of sneakers,

it is of vital importance that

your focus is always on the

road. Increased vigilance and

concentration could save lives.

Interacting with traffi c is

often the most dangerous

thing a person will do over

the course of an average day.

However, many people treat

it as a secondary task, choosing

instead to focus on using

their electronics, grooming,

or even reading the newspaper

on their morning commute.

A study commissioned by

TheSteelAlliance and Canada

Safety Council demonstrated

that 80 per cent of drivers

admitted to multi-tasking while

behind the wheel.

One particularly deadly

driver distraction is sending

a text message while behind

the wheel. As cellular devices

become more w idely used

and more legislation is

implemented to deal with the

hazards they might cause,

it remains important to

understand that even a quick

text message can lead to severe

consequences.

On average, a driver’s eyes

move away from the road

for 4.6 seconds at a time,

over a six-second interval,

while sending a text message.

This distraction results in

a much higher collision risk:

a driver sending a text message

is 23 times more likely than

a non-distracted driver to get

in a collision. If you absolutely

have to send that message,

pull over when it is safe to

do so before beginning to type,

or else wait until you have

arrived at your destination.

An important by-product of

driver distraction to keep in

mind is the danger it causes

to vulnerable road users.

Pedestrians, cyclists, and

motorcyclists, among others,

are much more likely to

face potential injury or death

when involved in a collision.

Statistics show that roughly 25

per cent of road user fatalities

or severe injuries involved a

vulnerable road

user, with 553

fatalities and 3,275

serious injuries in 2009

alone.

It is very important for

all drivers to be aware of their

surroundings at all times.

The extra few seconds of

distraction brought on by

answering a phone call or by

programming a GPS device can

give a driver less time to react to

any possible eventualities. You

are more likely to be involved

in a collision if a distracting

activity takes your eyes off the

road.

Canada Safety Council urges

you to make driving your fi rst

priority. Limiting distractions

could give you that extra second

you need to make a life-saving

decision, and can go a long

way towards making Canada’s

roadways a safer place.

Keep your eyes on the road!

News - In Aesop’s fable The Ant and the Grasshopper, the industrious ant stores food for the winter, while the carefree grasshopper spends the summer singing away.

When the winter arrives, and the cold weather hits, the hungry grass-hopper must ask the ant for food.

It may be just a cautionary tale, but for many Canadians who don’t put enough m o n e y away for retirement, it could soon be-come a re-ality.

A c c o r d -ing to a Sun Life Financial survey, one-quarter of Canadians do not know, or have not given any thought to where their retirement income will come from.

“There is actually a lot of help out there. It’s just a matter of reach-ing out to a fi nancial institution and asking questions,” said Cindy Crean, managing director of private clients for Sun Life Global Invest-ments.

Retirement savings experts sug-gest that individuals require 50-70 per cent of their pre-retirement in-

come to maintain their standard of living in retirement.

What’s the best way to do that? Start early is the common refrain: A 21-year-old investing a modest $100 a month into an RRSP at 5 per cent return can earn close to $200,000 by age 65.

Though those in their 20s may not have much money for invest-ments, between paying off school

debts and covering the rent, this is a crucial decade to start developing good saving habits, said Crean.

And, as people progress into their 30s and 40s, she said, it’s important to stay the course and continue to save.

“People in their 30s are not nec-essarily thinking about retirement,” Crean said. “They should be, but they are probably just thinking

about raising their kids, educating them and paying down their mort-gage and maybe take a holiday.”

But no matter how tight the bud-get, the most important rule to in-vesting for retirement is to, well, just do it.

“Everyone should be doing some-thing,” said Crean, stressing that sit-ting down with a fi nancial advisor can help you rest easy at night.

“If you have $2,000 to put away, I think most people would look at that and say, ‘that’s not very much. Should I even be bothering to do it?’” she said. “I would say yes, ab-solutely.”

For most people, though, invest-ing for retirement depends on a lot of variables.

The dream of riding off into the sunset in your retirement is still within your reach, experts say.

“If you’re a teacher and you have a defi ned benefi t pension plan that has index-ing that is going to provide you with a pretty decent in-come at retirement, you may not need as much money in the bank to augment or com-plement that income,” Crean explained.

“Other individuals with-out a pension will need a signifi cant amount of money in RRSPs (and other invest-ments) to generate the kind of income required at retire-ment.”

One recent study, howev-er, says the situation is not so dire, as Aesop’s tale fails to take into account the grass-hopper’s ability to depend on a social safety net.

A study released by the Fraser Institute in late April argues there is no retirement income crisis in Canada.

The study, titled The Real-ity of Retirement Income in Canada, notes that focusing exclusively on the traditional pillars of the pension system like Old Age Security, CPP/QPP, and voluntary pensions

such as RRSPs, overlooks trillions of dollars in assets held by Canadians.

Those assets are held in the form of home equity and other savings and largely undocumented support from

family and friends.Other research paints a

different picture on people’s retirement plans.

BMO Financial Group in March released a report that suggests most Canadians

plan to depend on the CPP after their working lives.

The survey showed 90 per cent will look to the CPP in retirement, while 88 per cent will bank on RRSP savings.

Close to 60 per cent will

hold a part-time job to fund retirement while 49 per cent plan to sell their homes.

Thirty-four per cent re-sponded they are hoping on a lottery win to get through their golden years.

But those tasked with overseeing Canada’s pension distribution say expecting the government to make up the difference in poor saving is a risk.

Most Ontarians currently earn about $9,000 annually from CPP and Old Age Secu-rity with the average monthly payout less than $600.

With a tsunami of retirees fl owing through the system in the next 20 years, govern-ment offi cials anticipate a burden on social programs as more people rely solely on CPP.

Asked to pinpoint the cause for the pension crunch, Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa pointed to a lack of education and lack of opportunity for investment as key culprits.

“About 50 per cent of the population doesn’t have a private pension plan. A lot of people aren’t utilizing the

room in their RRSPs. There is about $600 million in RRSP room still available,” Sousa said.

“All this has an impact, ul-timately, on our social costs in future because many are going to retire now on CPP alone and that is not going to be enough.”

CALL FOR ACTION

Backed by various organi-zations calling for action, the Liberal Government in On-tario, with NDP support, set out on introducing reforms to supplement the CPP.

“We want to provide more opportunities, more choice and more availability for residents to supplement their pension,” Sousa said.

Regardless of whether a pension crisis exists or not, fi nancial experts like former CFL player Chuck Ealey, who became a fi nancial director with Investors Group after retiring from the game, argue creating a nest egg for retire-ment should be a priority for everyone. “Nobody plans to fail,” said Ealey. “But people just fail to plan.”

A METROLAND SPECIAL SERIES: PART 3 A METROLAND SPECIAL SERIES: PART 3

Retiring on CPP alone is not enough: fi nance minister

FILE PHOTO

Former CFL quarterback Chuck Ealey is now an advisor, manager and director with In-vestors Group.

The age old dilemma: Saving, building wealthNews - The Saving Years: Under Age 40. Those are the three most important words

in the retirement planning process – and the most diffi cult to follow.

People under 40 have different fi nancial priorities. It’s tough to peer 20 or 30 years into the future. But time is precious – from a fi nancial point of view.

If you look at a 25-year-old who can con-tribute $5,000 a year to an RRSP and see how much the plan would generate by age 65 at the average return of 6.5 per cent, you will also see that every year of delay (even four years) would result in $212,675 of lost value.

BUILDING WEALTH: AGE 40-60

The mortgage is close to being paid off,

your income is higher and your debts are low-er, right? You have now moved from manag-ing debt to building wealth. It’s important to put as much away as possible for the future, both inside and outside your RRSP. Tax plan-ning becomes more important.

So what to do?• Max your contributions.• Catch up on any unused carry-forward

entitlements. If you did not make your full RRSP contribution in any year from 1991 on, you can make up the investment at any time.

• You can split RRIF income for tax purpos-es with your spouse, if you are 65 or older.

• Look for tax-effi cient investing: capital gains and Canadian dividends are subject to a lower tax rates that other sources of incomes.

• Resist the temptation to dip into your RRSP.

Lifestyle - Audrey prayed a lot. Of course, she was much older than I was, and I knew much smarter, and when she told me to get down on the braided rug by our bed to pray with her, I knew better than to ask why.

Our family rarely varied from our bedtime routine. Once we had our necks washed, teeth brushed with baking soda, and nails cleaned, and had gotten into our pyjamas, we followed Mother upstairs and headed for the big braided rug under the window looking out towards the West Hill.

As Mother settled into the rocking chair, we fi ve children took our places on our knees around her, and whatever Mother prayed for we repeated verbatim.

Once she had touched the tops of each head and we had said our amens in unison, we headed for our beds.

But this time of year, when the end of the year was close at the Northcote School, my sister Audrey always had extra prayers to say, and, of course, two praying at the same time, for the same thing, she con-vinced me had much more power than just one of us ask-ing for a special blessing.

The fact that the prayer had nothing to do with me didn’t seem to matter. It was the num-ber, Audrey said, that counted.

And so, after the boys had gone to bed, Mother had gone back downstairs, and Audrey had blown out the lamp, she tapped me on the shoulder, and I knew without asking, we were in for another long and purposeful prayer on the braided rug by our bed.

We had it drilled into us over many Sunday School classes, and long and purpose-ful prayers from our whale of a minister as he fl ailed his arms from the pulpit every Sunday at the Lutheran Church, that praying for material things

was right up there with steal-ing chickens!

I confess I often prayed for black patent shoes, and white stockings, and blonde curls like bad Marguirite, but I fi g-ured God would take into ac-count my young age and for-give me. And, of course, my prayers were silently said, so I was the only one who knew I had entered into this discre-tion, and I fi gured it was just between God and me.

But once the school year was coming to a close, Audrey started in on these long prayers at night in the silence of our hall-bedroom upstairs.

“Make sure your eyes are closed,” she whispered ... as if I didn’t know enough to close my eyes!

And then she would start. The prayers themselves var-ied every night, but the plea was the same. Audrey prayed to pass out of the Entrance Class.

There was never any doubt in my mind that she would pass with or without our spe-cial prayers, but Audrey wasn’t taking any chances.

And so every night, right up until the day Miss Crosby handed out our report cards, Audrey and I got down on the rug by the bed and prayed that Audrey would pass out of the Northcote School.

This, of course, would go on for weeks, and by the time it was coming up to the last day of school, I was convinced

God would be sick and tired of what Audrey and I were pray-ing for.

Why Audrey was so scared of failing was beyond me. Of course, no one ever went back to school if they failed the En-trance Class, and that was what terrifi ed my sister.

One day, when we were sit-ting in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, and our Sat-urday chores had been done, I asked Audrey why it was so important that she get out of the Entrance Class.

Couldn’t she just stay home with Mother? Goodness knows there was lots to keep busy at on the farm ... the garden was being planted, Spring house-cleaning was under way, the summer clothes had to be got-ten ready.

And besides, lots of the older girls when they fi nished at the Northcote School would go off and get married if they passed or not.

Well, Audrey didn’t even have a steady boyfriend, so that was out.

And then she told me. Al-most in a whisper. As if she was telling some dark secret.

“Do you know what the fate is for a farm girl who doesn’t pass out of the En-trance Class?” she asked. And her face took on a most seri-ous look, almost as if she was heading for some terrible end.

And then she said ... again in a whisper ... but with a sharp-ness in her voice that I rarely heard. “They go in to Renfrew and do housework for the rich people.”

And she let out a long and purposeful sigh. “Housework ... that’s what they do. And I would rather die than leave the farm and go into Renfrew to scrub and clean for the rich people!”

And she named a few of the girls who once went to the Northcote School who didn’t pass at the end of year, and they were in Renfrew, away from the only home they knew, doing housework for the rich people.

And so that was the fate of my beloved sister Audrey if she didn’t pass out of the En-trance Class.

Once she told me that, I no longer felt the same about our secret nightly prayer at the side of my bed. I put my mind right to it and became just as fervent as my sister, begging God to help her get that report card from Miss Crosby at the end of the school year, saying she had passed out of the En-trance Class, saving her from doing housework in Renfrew for the rich people.

Lifestyle - A total of 12,260 and counting.

That is how many trips, since Feb. 4, 2008, that have been provided to our citizens whose independence relies on the availability of the Para Transit Care Coach service provided by Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program (ABMSH).

“As we launch our 2014 ‘Yellow Envelope Mail-Out Keep the Wheels Turning’ campaign in support of our Care Coach, your continued generosity is necessary to make sure this essential service remains active and viable in our community,” said ABMSH execu-tive director Dennis Harrington.

The ABMSH Para Transit Care Coach is the only specialized trans-portation service available for persons, of all ages, living within the Town of Arnprior and the Township of McNab-Braeside.

As the need expands, so do the ar-eas of coverage. Along with residents of Arnprior and McNab-Braeside, the service is offered and available to the residents of Ottawa’s West Carleton including Fitzroy Harbour, Kinburn, Woodlawn, Constance Bay and Dun-robin.

Other areas the Care Coach has trav-elled to include Pakenham, Almonte, Ottawa, Renfrew, Pembroke and North Bay.

“The needs of the client come first. The destination is secondary,” ex-pressed Harrington.

In 2013 the goal for the ‘Yellow En-

velope Keep the Wheels Turning Cam-paign’ was $30,000. That goal was reached and then some. At the end of the campaign $40,035 was pledged.

This year the goal, due to a slight increase in expenses is $32,000.

The total operating cost per year for the Para Transit Care coach is as follows: wages: $28,371.29; fuel: $5,800.52; insurance: $1,571; license: $90; communications: $1,099.53; and maintenance: $4,876.08.

“We are very proud of this service and of the financial support ABMSH has received over the years from the communities we serve,” said Har-rington.

Right now in our communities, se-niors and individuals of all ages with special needs require the use of the Para Transit Care Coach. Since Feb. 4, 2008, a total of 7,886 trips have been provided to citizens requiring the use of a wheelchair and 4,374 to frail el-derly clients of which 1,505 were for out-of-town trips. These are the folks that depend on the service the Para Transit Care Coach provides.

“I would like to commend the staff at Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program Inc. for their excellent Care Coach Para Transit program. My 92-year-old father (George Freeman of Island View Suites), due to a variety of health concerns, now needs to travel by wheelchair. If the accessible Para Tran-sit van were not available, his only op-tion for travelling to medical appoint-ments would be by ambulance,” said Kate Freeman, of Arnprior.

“Since this is the only wheelchair accessible service available in Arnpri-or, the demand is high. The staff do all they can to try to accommodate every-one’s needs. Colin (Borshevsky) the driver is unfailingly helpful, friendly and courteous and goes out of his way to make these trips pleasant and stress

free.“The Care Coach is a lifeline for

Arnprior residents, like my father, who have no other means of transportation. Thank you Colin, Nancy (Peck, in-town driver) and the ladies who take our phone calls for all the care, concern and affection they have shown my fa-ther over the past three years.”

Scent Free Environment To minimize the potential adverse allergic and/or medical reactions associated with exposure to scented products, Arnprior Regional Health (both the hospital and nursing home) is a SCENT-FREE facility. A "scent" is fragrance, aroma, or perfume that adds a smell to something else. Scents can usually be found in personal care products such as perfumes, aftershaves, colognes, shampoos and conditioners, soaps, body lotions and deodorants, as well as cleaning products and some flowers. We ask that you refrain from wearing perfumes and powders when visiting and to pay attention to what type of flowers delivered to the hospital or nursing home. Flowers such as Lillies are especially scented. Some people experience only mild reactions such as: headaches; feeling dizzy, tired or weak; shortness of breath; nausea; and cold-like symptoms. More serious reactions include: worsening of asthma conditions; feeling anxious; problems concentrating; loss of appetite; seizures; muscle pain; and numbness. Please help our patients and residents by: •Respecting others by NOT wearing perfume, cologne, after-shave, or scented hairspray when coming into our facility •Do not bring scented flowers into the Hospital or Nursing home. Check with the local floral shop for flowers with little or no fragrance.

Maritime success came to Arnprior on May 3. This was the second time that the Knights of Columbus worked with Partners in Caring to offer a steak and lobster fundraising dinner. It takes many individuals and business partners to pull together this event and our community did not disappoint. Thank you to our entertainers, the talented Van Barr family from Kinburn, featuring Charlotte and Bennett, and to emcee Dai Basset. Thank you to Joe Brennan for organizing all the prizes for the silent and live auctions. Almost every business in Arnprior was represented by the prizes they donated. John O’Neil proved once again his worth as an auctioneer and there was spirited bidding between the McEwan and McGonigal table. Our community helped us to raise $29,000! This is an increase in $10,000 from last year. This money will purchase a Pigg-o-Stat X-ray Positioner (for kids under 3 to have an X-ray) and an Alenti Lift at the Grove. “On behalf of Partners in Caring, we would really like to thank the Knights for all their help the event helpers and volunteers, and also to our community for their support. I think it’s safe to say that we all want to keep care close to home and providing the right equipment to properly manage everyone’s care is very important,” said Partners in Caring Chair Lori Van Wyk.

Emotional debut for Ottawa Valley Tourist Association awardSteve [email protected]

News - Emotional acceptances of the inau-gural Ottawa Valley Tourist Association awards underlined the close connection each recipient had with former OVTA member and tourism advocate Marilyn Alexander.

She died last year, triggering the creation of the Marilyn Alexander Tourism Champion Award and the Business of Distinction Award that were presented at the OVTA conference and annual general meeting April 29.

Presentations took place at Calabogie High-lands Golf Resort, where an emotional Hins-perger accepted the tourism champion award that was named after his good, personal friend.

“I always say it’s not who you know but who you’re seen with,” he said.

“And to be seen on this board (of nominees) with these other folks, what a privilege and an honour, because I know by what standards they handle their lives. Perhaps it looks like I handle my life by those same standards,” added the Eganville resident.

“I’m truly honoured to have this award with her name on it. I’ve been in tourism now 22 years, and one of the fi rst people I met was Marilyn,” said Hinsperger, recalling the day she came “to the Caves to take pictures that she wanted to use as part of a promotion to encour-age people to come to the Ottawa Valley.

“She saw her role not as (encouraging people

to) come and stay in our beautiful beds at the Best Western, but I need to promote this Val-ley and the longer they stay, the more beds they need to sleep in. Now we call that packaging, and that was 22 years ago.”

Accepting the Business of Distinction Award for Pembroke Comfort Inn was its general man-ager, Jody Higgins, who was overcome with emotion.

“I’m honoured to be here,” said Higgins. “Wow, I can feel her,” she added in reference to her former general manager.

All nominees were submitted by business operators or individuals for exceptional service and dedication in the tourism industry.

The other tourism champion award nominees were Lorraine Pecoskie, Holiday Inn Express, Pembroke; Catherine Reynolds, The Fans of Calabogie B&B, Calabogie; Chris Hinsperger, Bonnechere Caves, Eganville; Ann McIntyre, Petawawa Heritage Village, Petawawa; Claudia Van Wijk, Madawaska Kanu Centre, Barry’s Bay; and David Kelley, Mission House Mu-seum, Combermere.

Other businesses of distinction nominees were The Ash Grove Inn, Barry’s Bay; Wilno Craft Gallery, Wilno; Gearheads, Petawawa; Pembroke Comfort Inn; and Madawaska Kanu Centre, Barry’s Bay.

The purpose of this award is to recognize an OVTA member business that demonstrates leadership, innovation and dedication to the lo-cal tourism industry.

Artist wins competitionArnprior artist Rob Hinchley has won a Carleton University Art Gallery juried competi-tion. The inaugural recipient of the annual Gordon J. Wood Print Purchase Prize is Hinch-ley’s On the River (Ottawa River Series) (2014). Judges called it a “bold composition and dynamic mark making.” The work also fulfi lls Wood’s desire to support the purchase of contemporary prints by regional artists that depict the Ottawa Valley or Outaouais ar-eas. Hinchley’s winning print was unveiled during the opening of the gallery’s summer exhibitions on Monday, May 12, and will remain on display until Sept. 14.

Canadian High Commission in Jamaica recognizes KatieBearsSherry [email protected]

News – Recognition by the Canadian High Commission in Jamaica and a venue change for the annual fun day are among the highlights for KatieBears.

The charity organization cre-ated in memory of Katie Fraser will host its annual fun day in Renfrew May 24 after several years in Eganville.

What started out as a group that frequented a handful of parades and community events offering teddy bears to anyone who looked like they could use a hug has grown into an organi-zation that supports two schools in Jamaica and attends count-less events each year with bears and kind words for hundreds of people.

“We distributed more than 1,500 KatieBears in our lo-cal areas in 2013, plus 300 in Nova Scotia,” said Katie’s mom Lynda, who along with husband Ian, created the organization af-ter losing her daughter in 2009 to a pulmonary embolism.

Fraser has no doubt Katie, who started off the idea for the charity when she fi rst gave out a

teddy bear that was part of the family business’ parade fl oat the year before she died, would be ecstatic with the organization’s success.

“I’m sure she is so thrilled that she’s clapping her hands and smiling and probably won-

ders why we’re not going faster,” said Fraser with a laugh.

KatieBears continued its support of Dalmally basic school in Dias, Jamaica and the newest addition to the organization’s benefi ciary list – Upper Top Lincoln in Grange Hill.

The Frasers’ work with KatieBears includes an an-nual trip to Jamaica.

“We visited both schools with loads of school sup-plies – 150 pounds – Ka-tieBears, and this year we provided food for the stu-dents to take home,” said Fraser. “One of the high-lights of this year’s trip was recognition from the High Commission of Canada in Kingston, Jamaica.

The Frasers met with public diplomacy and me-dia offi cer Carol Hart and were honoured to have their work recognized.

There are plans to have commissioner Robert Ready join them on their school visits next year.

“They were thrilled with what we’re doing,” said Fraser, describing the ex-perience as emotional. “We didn’t realize we were do-ing enough that anybody noticed.”

Roslyn Needham, a long-time friend of the Frasers, has been named KatieBears’ ambassador in Jamaica and will be visit-ing potential schools to de-termine their needs.

“We want to adopt schools that need the most help,” said Fraser. Need-ham is waiting to see if a visa will be approved so she can make a visit to Canada and the Frasers’ home.

CLOSER TO HOME

Fraser is also pleased to

announce a pilot project with the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families.

“All new kids coming in for counselling will get a KatieBear,” she said. “Sometimes kids just like having something to hold on to.”

FUN DAY

The annual fun day on Saturday, May 24 runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the RCAF Wing in Ren-frew.

Radio personality Dylan Black from Boom 99.7 will host the event.

Fraser urges those with musical inclinations to reg-ister for the popular idol competition.

Registrants are being asked to raise a minimum $15 in pledges to partici-pate.

The annual event in-cludes a variety of activi-ties, including brand new games created by super volunteer Ian Voelker.

“We’ve got plinko, golf, punchboard, duck race, potty toss, mini putt, shoot-ing gallery, bean bag toss and more,” said Fraser.

Organizers have struc-tured the activities to make for a fun, affordable day for families.

“All games will cost one ticket and a 10-pack is available for $5 so you can play every game. There will also be a 25-pack for $10,” said Fraser.

A craft show, silent auc-tion, head shaving and re-mote control car display and raffl e will also be part of the fun.

Visit ‘KatieBears’ on Facebook, email [email protected] or call 613-622-0092 for more in-formation.

Lynda Fraser and her husband Ian travelled to Jamaica to deliver 150 pounds of school supplies, a ton of KatieBears and even food for the kids to take home.

Dickinson to headline Entrepreneur Week eventJulia Le

News - A ‘dragon’ is spreading her wings and landing in Ottawa June 9 to impart some lessons learned about making it as an entrepreneur in to-day’s economy.

Arlene Dickinson, best known for her role as one of fi ve venture capital-ists on CBC’s Dragon’s Den series, will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series, presented by Metroland Media Group.

It takes place at the Brookstreet Hotel, 525 Legget Dr. in Kanata from 7-9:30 a.m. Dickinson’s visit is among 10 stops she’ll make across Ontario as part of Entrepreneur Week, which runs June 2-13.

Joining Dickinson for this spe-cial event as the entrepreneur guest speaker is Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy. York became the president of Farm Boy in 2009. Prior to that he spent 20 years at the president of Gi-ant Tiger Stores.

Entrepreneurship Week celebrates the successes of local entrepreneurs as a community while encouraging others to be innovative to help fuel and drive the local economy.

“The event is a celebration of En-trepreneurship Week and to show-case our community entrepreneurs and their contributions to our local economy. It is also a great oppor-tunity to get a look into the success factors behind two amazing entre-

preneurs - Arlene Dickenson and Jeff York,” said Metroland East general manager Peter O’Leary.

“It is very important to take the time and recognize the contributions and innovations the entrepreneurs of Ottawa have brought to our commu-nity and economy. Not only are these amazing people building successful businesses but they give back.”

O’Leary noted local residents don’t have to look too far in Ottawa to see some amazing business suc-cess stories such as the Greenberg family and Minto, Cyril Leeder and the Senators, Farm Boy, the Tommy and Lefebvre families, and the My-ers, Mews family “to see what an impact a group of entrepreneurs have on the city we live in.”

Dickinson, who is the CEO of the

marketing fi rm Venture Communica-tions with a staff of 75 in Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa, said she’s look-ing forward to meeting entrepreneurs in Ontario’s communities and speak-ing about how life and business are intertwined when you’re an entrepre-neur.

The 57-year-old, who travels back and forth between her Calgary and Toronto homes, said the notion of balance, is something of a fallacy.

“Balance is very personal. It’s not about 50/50 and equal weight on per-sonal and professional, it’s about do-ing what makes you happy,” she said, noting that being an entrepreneur is a lifestyle choice, not a career choice.

“I’d say that happiness is a func-tion of being able to live and be who you are.”

Dickinson found her calling and developed a passion for entrepre-neurism at the age of 31 after getting married at 19 and raising four chil-dren.

Through hard work and persever-ance, the author of Persuasion and All In, said she’s been able to over-come numerous challenges that have helped shape her as a business per-son.

Her success and leadership has been recognized with multiple hon-ours and awards including Canada’s Most Powerful Women Top 100 and the Pinnacle Award for Entrepreneur-ial Excellence, as well as PROFIT

and Chatelaine’s TOP 100 Women Business Owners.

She is also CEO of YouInc.com, a company she founded in 2012 that is dedicated to serving and investing in entrepreneurs and the entrepreneur-ial lifestyle.

“A lot of what I’ve learned is through the school of hard knocks,” said Dickinson, who never had a university education but has learned about business by taking risks and fi guring out how to recover from the failure and mistakes she’s made along the way.

Mistakes, she said, aren’t fatal, as long as you can learn from them. “For me, having gone through a lot of the struggle of building a business from the ground up, dealing with partnerships and dealing with build-ing and growth pains, I’ve learned at the end of the day, you have to be able to look deep within yourself to fi gure out where you’re helping the company, fi gure out where you’re not helping the company and sur-round yourself with people who are better than you are,” she said.

“That’s an old saying, but it’s a very true one.”

She added that entrepreneurs need to recognize that their biggest enemy tends to be themselves.

“Self-doubt can play a huge role in your ability to succeed, so if you be-lieve in something you have to stick to it. You have to be resilient,” said

Dickinson, noting that to be success-ful as an entrepreneur you also have to navigate the roadblocks along the way and accept that you’ll face a lot of rejection.

Dickinson is a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient, an Honourary Captain of the Royal Ca-nadian Navy and is the recipient of honourary degrees from Mount Saint Vincent University, Saint Mary’s University and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.

“Having Arlene Dickenson part-ner with us provides our readers and customers the opportunity to experi-ence her live or read about her on our website (of) our community news-papers,” added O’Leary.

For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource.

Christie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things

before, but to no avail.”

Read about Hair Volume™

Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I fi rst read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,

which made me realize that it was special.”

Very positive experience

“Today I have taken the Hair Vol-ume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will defi nitely continue taking this product”, re-lates a happy Christie.

I panicked...My hair was thinning!

Knight in the Maritimes

Almost 300 participants in the Knight in the Maritimes fund-raiser for Arnprior Regional Health enjoyed a steak or lob-ster dinner, auction and enter-tainment. Among the Arnprior Regional Health organizers of this year’s Knight in the Mari-times fundraiser are, from left, board vice-chairman Trevor Reid, Partners in Caring chair-woman Lori Van Wyk, and ARH’s manager of fund development Wendy Knechtel. The second annual event took place at Saint John Chrysostom parish hall on May 3. Far right, the lobster was a huge hit again this year.

Performing at the Catholic parish hall is the Van Barr fam-ily. Multi-talented Bennett,7, tap danc-es while Charlotte, 12, works the fi ddle. Sandra and Chris let the Celtic kids take centre stage, which is a wise thing since they regularly reach the fi nals in various competitions, in-cluding third in the Canadian Open.

Marc Legault makes good use out of his lobster bib at that the event, which raised $29,000 for two pieces of equipment: an X-ray machine for infants and a lift chair for the Grove nursing home. Arnprior Regional Health president and CEO Eric Hanna shares a laugh with Legault who, unlike many ticket purchasers, is not an employee of Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. The Arnprior resident is a CHEO nurse.

Thank You North Gowerfrom the Energy East Pipeline project team

Recently, TransCanada returned to the Ottawa area, in North Gower this time, to discuss ourproposed Energy East Pipeline project with the community. Our team listened as communitymembers shared their thoughts on topics that ranged from pipeline integrity and water protectionto natural gas prices and emergency response planning.

First, we’d like to say thank you for welcoming us back into your community. These events andthe feedback we receive are a large part of our public engagement program and somethingTransCanada takes very seriously. If it’s important to you, then it’s important to us. We alsowant to ensure that everyone has the facts about these important topics. Here are a few keyanswers to the most common questions we heard from North Gower residents:

• Special measures will be adopted to ensure the protection of local water resources including using thicker-walled pipeand placing extra sensors and valves closer together in these sensitive areas.

• The pipeline will be monitored 24 hours a day from our state-of-the-art control centre with the ability to shut it downin minutes anywhere along the route. Trained crews and specialized equipment will be strategically placed along thepipeline to respond quickly if needed.

• TransCanada is committed to ensuring there is enough pipeline capacity to meet the current and future needs of naturalgas consumers. The cost of supplying natural gas to Ontario and Quebec markets will not go up as a result of Energy East.

I have been with TransCanada for 23 years and am very proud of our safety record and the people who work each day touphold it. Thank you once again for hosting us and sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your hospitality and look forwardto meeting with you again very soon. Please visit our website at EnergyEastPipeline.com for more information.

Sincerely,

John Van Der PutVice-President, Energy East Pipeline Project

www.cherylgallant.comRecently at Renfrew County Council, some County Councillors made the connection between provincial programs that pay big money to install solar panels and skyrocketing energy bills. In that example, it is obvious to make the connection between government spending and who pays for that spending. While solar panels are not listed on your hydro bill, that has not stopped the province from adding a myriad of charges that have nothing to do with the actual amount of electricity you use.

Taxpayers need to ask the question “who pays” every time government proposes a new program or service. Take increasing the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). While a bigger pension for life sounds like a good idea, you pay higher premiums to receive it. Doubling or duplicating the CPP pension as proposed by some, means doubling the contributions. At today’s rate, that would require an employee contribution of 404.25 per month for approximately 40 years at the maximum contribution rate to receive the maximum pension. For the self-employed, the rate is double, $9,702/yr. As an additional payroll tax, business would have to raise prices or cut jobs to pay the increased tax. Raising payroll taxes makes hiring more expensive, which disproportionately hurts young people who have a high unemployment rate. A payroll tax is levied regardless of you, or your employer’s ability to pay, the same way increases to your hydro bill are charged with no regard whether you are retired or unemployed.

The liberal party in Toronto is hoping that by using a hidden tax, be it added charges on your hydro bill, a health levy or a payroll tax on earnings and employment, by calling it something different, they can raise taxes without being held accountable. Past experience is a warning we ignore at our peril. State savings schemes are not risk-free. Politicians are eternally tempted to use them to pay benefits today whose cost can be pushed off onto future taxpayers or retirees, or both. The province wants to increase the CPP so that they can have access to the low cost financing they had on the first premiums. Just because the current CPP is shielded from such tinkering does not mean future governments cannot change the rules. There is no such thing as risk-free investing, including when the government is taking your money.

Rather than increase taxes, our federal Conservative Government encourages voluntary retirement saving, through RRSPs and our popular Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). These voluntary savings accounts stay in the control of the contributor, including where they are invested and are available anytime for emergencies. Unlike the CPP that ends when the contributor dies, RRSPs and TFSAs remain under the control of the family or beneficiary, who decides what, is in their best interest.

d problem is not the current level of pension benefits received by Canadians, but the benefits to be received by future pensioners. Corporate pension plans are widely being scaled back. Public sector pension plans in Canada have withstood attack so far, but they are surely on the radar screen of governments in this country. Canadians are saving less, and getting poor returns on the money that they do invest.

Report From Parliament:

May is time to protect dogs from heartwormLifestyle - Heartworm is a

blood parasite that poses a se-rious health threat to dogs in Canada.

Heartworms are large round-worms that live in the right side of the heart and the blood vessels that supply the lungs, surviving on nutrients which they steal from the dog’s bloodstream. They can grow to a length of 15 to 30 centimetres, and in severe cases a dog may be infested with hundreds of worms.

Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected dog, it will ingest the immature worms (microfi lariae) produced by the adults in the heart along with the blood from the dog.

The immature worms devel-op in the mosquito over the next few weeks until they reach an infective stage. When the mos-quito bites an uninfected dog, it will inject the immature worms into the tissues with its saliva.

From here, the immature worms develop further and mi-grate to the heart where they will mature into adults and begin re-

producing. This cycle continues unchecked unless treatment is given. From this it is easy to see how one infected dog can infect a whole neighbourhood.

What are the signs of heart-worm disease? For both dogs and cats, clinical signs of heart-worm disease may not be recog-nized in the early stages, as the number of heartworms in an an-imal tends to accumulate gradu-ally over a period of months and sometimes years and after repeated mosquito bites.

Infected dogs may exhibit no signs of the disease, while heav-ily infected dogs may eventu-

ally show clinical signs, includ-ing a mild, persistent cough, reluctance to move or exercise, fatigue after only moderate ex-ercise, reduced appetite and weight loss.

Cats may exhibit clinical signs that are very non-specifi c, mimicking many other feline diseases.

Chronic clinical signs include vomiting, gagging, diffi culty or rapid breathing, lethargy and weight loss.

Signs associated with the fi rst stage of heartworm disease, when the heartworms enter a blood vessel and are carried to the pulmonary arteries, are of-ten mistaken for feline asthma or allergic bronchitis, when in fact they are actually due to a syndrome newly defi ned as Heartworm Associated Respira-tory Disease (HARD).

Heartworm may be easily prevented. Start by having your veterinarian examine a sample of your dog’s blood for the pres-ence of the immature worms once yearly. If your dog is not infected, then a preventative

program should be started. The preventative program in-

volves giving the dog a pill once a month during mosquito sea-son. This medication destroys the immature heartworms trans-mitted by the mosquitoes and stops the cycle of the disease.

Preventive programs should not be started before your dog has been tested for the presence of heartworm disease by your veterinarian.

The test and the preventive program should be done each spring with the medication con-tinuing throughout the summer until November.

For those vacationing in the United States with your dog, consult your veterinarian re-garding the best way to provide continual protection against this easily preventable disease.

Dogs can suff er from allergies too

Lifestyle - With spring comes new fl owers, bulbs, and leaves. Unfortu-nately, for allergy sufferers, pollen, grasses and weeds also come with it.

While the symptoms of seasonal allergies are well-documented in hu-mans, could you identify them in four-legged companions? If you’re like the majority of Canadian dog owners, the answer is no.

A new poll conducted by Ipsos Reid found the majority of Canadian dog owners don’t know the signs of seasonal allergies in their own dogs.

“In truth, the symptoms of seasonal allergies in dogs and humans can be different,” says Dr. Alison Turcotte, a veterinarian with Royal Canin Cana-da.

Signs of seasonal allergies in dogs can include excessive scratching or chewing at their paws, red or irritated skin and ear infections.

Dr. Turcotte adds if a dog is show-ing any of these signs, pet owners should seek the advice of their veteri-narian. Treatment options can include topical therapies, oral medications, soothing shampoos, immunotherapy and veterinary diets.

The Ipsos Reid poll also revealed that there is still education needed when it comes to using diet to treat seasonal allergies - to reduce reliance on medication such as steroids.

Of those dog owners polled, 45 per cent don’t know that a dog’s diet can have an impact on seasonal allergies.

In dogs, allergens are mostly ab-sorbed through the skin – even more so if the skin is dry or unhealthy – so a healthy skin barrier plays a vital role in protecting dogs from seasonal aller-gies.

Lifestyle – The Lanark Wild Food Club has planned a visit to Arnprior in July for a wild medicine walk in Gil-lies Grove.

The group, which has a new website up and running at www.lanarkwfc.com, has held several events already this year including the Wheeler’s maple syrup walk April 5 and a leek walk in the McDonald’s Corners area led by Bill Barrett May 10.

The next major excursion will be the Devil’s Rock path walk to be led by Peter Fischl on Saturday, June 14. As this is prime foraging season, it will allow people without access to a vehicle to get to know what diversity of wild foods are available just at the edge of Perth.

Walkers will meet at Conlon Farm parking lot across from St. John Catholic High School at 9:30 a.m. for the ki-lometre-long hike along an easy trail ending at the creek.

The traditional wild medicine walk to be led by Carol McGrath in Arnprior is set for Saturday, July 26. McGrath is a seasoned and highly educated natural herbal practi-tioner and educator who has graciously offered to guide a plant walk through Gillies Grove, one of few remaining actual stands of old growth forest in this area.

“This will prove to be a very interesting time with Carol’s expertise casually shared in the splendour of the grove,” noted club spokesman Peter Fischl.

Formed in 2012, the club is made up of a group of wild food enthusiasts who share expertise, love of the outdoors, meeting new friends and exchanging ideas from their var-ied backgrounds. For more information on the club or any of its planned walks, visit www.lanarkwfc.com.

Wild food clubplans walkin Gillies Grove News - There was plenty

to celebrate at the Valley Heritage Radio Round-up Dance at the Renfrew Ar-mouries.

This year’s radiothon was cut from 10 to seven days and, but as of the fi nal day, April 27, fundraising surpassed $80,000.

When the dust settles, it is expected to hit the $85,000 mark.

“We couldn’t be happier with the support and love people have for this little station,” said tation man-ager Jason Marshall.

“Without the listeners, we wouldn’t be on the air today.”

Valley Heritage Radio founders Vic and Linda-Mae Garbutt were invited to speak to the crowd and the Round-up Dance.

The couple was recently elected to the Ottawa Val-ley Country Music Hall of Fame for their long-time commitment to country music in the region.

BASKIN, Ryan Russell

Ryan “our Son, our Moon, our Stars”

You were definitely a gift sent straight from heaven.

Given to us from God above.We did not know how much

you would teach us, About the meaning

of true love . . .For true love sometimes

means letting go, Of someone so precious

and dear.That is what we were

forced to do, Although we wanted to

keep you here!!!Ryan, in our hearts we

truely believe, That God must have needed

you more... To save lives or perhaps to be and Angel now,

Full of wisdom and love, Watching over those of us

who love you, From the shining stars above.

We miss you more than ou can ever know.

You could never be replaced...

In our hearts and memories foever,

Will be your beautiful sleeping face.

Happy 28th Birthday in Heaven.

We will always love you,Mom, Dad and Family

Cadets raise money in tag day, Sens draw

Community – The Arnprior-based 2360 1st Air Defence Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish) Royal Canadian Artillery Army Cadet Corps have had a couple of success-ful fundraisers recently.

Cadet Liaison offi cer Patrick Simmonds reports that Mark and Barb Segstro helped to organized the squadron to be a part of the Sens Foundation 50/50 ticket sales. The army cadets were able to raise an impressive $4,075 for the Corps.

Committee members and cadets were great in help-ing to raise this amount, say Simmonds. Four committee members on the last day (April 12) were able to bring in $350 for the Corps alone.

The army cadets Tag day (May 2-3) was a success as well.

The cadets were able to bring in $3,519, thanks to about 14 or so cadets, the drivers and all the support staff partici-pating in the event.

Simmonds also thanked the stores that allowed the ca-dets to sell the tags there.

Meanwhile, the Corps Commanding Offi cer Capt. Rob Dufour has been diligently searching for a trailer to be a cadet offi ce. Finally earlier this year he was successful, reports Simmonds.

“We are now proud owners of our own trailer that can be used for the committee meetings and to store all our equipment and fi les. This ‘offi ce’ is up and running with phone and Internet.”

My Fair Lady opens June 4, tickets available at library SaturdayArts - Pull up your bloom-

in’ knickers and doff yer hats – My Fair Lady is coming to Arnprior.

Two Rivers Musical Pro-ductions will be presenting the popular musical over four nights from June 4-7.

Now in its fourth season, Two Rivers is becoming syn-onymous with high-quality community musicals. My Fair Lady is no exception.

Based on George Bernard Shaw’s classic Pygmalion, with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Fred-erick Loewe, this ‘perfect’ musical takes the audience back to Edwardian London to tell the tale of Cockney fl ow-er girl Eliza Doolittle (Ciara Magoon), who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins in the hopes of break-ing free from the confi nes of her lower class station.

Director Marybeth Pid-geon, who directed the suc-cessful Two Rivers production of Fiddler on the Roof in 2012, has enjoyed watching Andrew Jensen become the bombastic Higgins.

“Henry is an obnoxious, pompous character, but he is also a prisoner of his own con-

fl icted views,” says Pidgeon, who highlights the theme of confi nement through the pro-duction.

“Andrew has captured all of those layers to Henry and the passion that draws Eliza to him in spite of his awful be-haviour.”

Lisa Webber, back for her fourth year as musical director, says My Fair Lady remains a favourite with audiences be-cause of the unforgettable mu-sic and characters that inhabit Eliza’s world.

“Ciara’s gutsy performance and soaring vocals sweep us along on Eliza’s personal jour-ney from the raw emotion in songs like ‘Just You Wait’ to her ladylike transformation in ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’.”

Add in the magic of musi-cian and actor James Hrkach as the hilarious Alfred P. Doo-little – who offers his jaun-diced worldview in numbers such as ‘Get Me to the Church’ and ‘With a Little Bit of Luck’ – and there’s no shortage of memorable moments.

“All of the best musicals have amazing stories and characters that resonate,” says Pidgeon. “Thanks to Shaw’s

brilliant writing, My Fair Lady still holds up in the way it ex-plores relationships and love.”

The musical’s script uses several scenes that Shaw wrote for the 1938 fi lm version of Pygmalion, including the Em-bassy Ball sequence and the fi -nal scene, which takes a much different turn than the ending for the original play.

“I actually prefer the origi-nal ending, when Eliza doesn’t come back to Higgins,” says Pidgeon. “It feels truer to the spirit of the characters and to Eliza’s metamorphosis, where she defi nes herself very much on her own terms.”

As to which ending Pidgeon ultimately decides to go with, “people will just have to come in June to fi nd out.”

My Fair Lady runs from June 4-7 at 7 p.m. All per-formances will be held in the Arnprior District High School auditorium.

Tickets cost $15 for adults, $10 for students and can be purchased online at www.tworiversmusicals.ca.

Anyone not able to get on-line can buy tickets in person at the Arnprior Public Library this Saturday, May 17 from noon to 3 p.m.
