Not worth the riskJOHN CARTER

A proposed seniors housing project on White Lake Road might have been too far ahead of its time.

David St. Amour has announced that he and his partners have withdrawn their request to the township for sup-port and are trying to sell the 12-acre property.

The decision is another blow to hopes for new seniors housing in the area, com-ing on the heels of word the province has withdrawn support for a proposed seniors housing project in Arnprior. The county is protesting that move.

St. Amour praised the assistance and encouragement he had received from the

township, but said the approval process is too long, complicated, expensive and uncertain to make it worth the risk.

The property involved is designated farm land.

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Camp-bell said she is disappointed, but under-stands the decision. The proposal was innovative and could have pushed the township to the forefront of providing a much needed seniors housing option in a rural setting, she said.

The plan was for a rural adaptation of urban style accommodations, she said, adding it could have proved such housing does not necessarily require urban water and sewer connections.

ADHS presents library with $5,000DEREK DUNN

[email protected]

Few community libraries can say young people show their support with thousands of dollars.

But that is what happened at the Arnprior Public Library last Friday when Arnprior District High School presented it with a $5,000 cheque.

We are very happy to be donating the money to the town. Its a good match for us, and the kids were thrilled, said vice-principal Amy Johnson. One of the schools goals this year was to become even more of a community member.

Even with Dr. J announcing his intention to close his Audio-tronics store, leaving another gap in Arnpriors retail sector, it seems steady sailing for at some manufacturers. At least thats the case for Arnprior Aero-space.

Well have our name in the phone book in 20 years. It may be a different name at some point, but we think well be here, said vice-president of operations and general manager Tom Melvin. Were doing what we think we need to do to be competitive over the long run.

What Arnprior Aerospace needed to do - back in 1998 when its workforce topped 800 and its sole client was Boeing - was to grow leaner and more com-petitive. Today the workforce is about half what is was, depend-ing on which month you are watching, and it has two more major clients. Melvin and oth-ers are furiously knocking on doors worldwide, trying to sell largely commercial airplane parts after a 50-year history focused on military. Could there be more layoffs, temporary or otherwise?

We anticipate its going to be a challenge for the next 12 to 15 months, he said recently, while hosting Renfrew-Nipiss-ing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gal-lant and providing a mini-tour for media.

The high dollar continues to pound exporters. Nylene seems to be holding its own, thanks in large part to the niche it has carved out. Sandvik is coming out of the recession in good shape. Pacific Safety Products is at a moment of instability, a deal to sell having fallen through this week. There is little concern of it moving.

Arnprior Aerospace, at between $60 and $80-million annual sales, is on a firm fixed rate of $1.20. That means as the Loonie continues to straddle par

with the Greenback, the Cana-dian exporter is dishing out an additional 20 cents for every dol-lar.

HANDS-OFF GOVERNMENTAsked if the federal govern-

ment planned to push the Bank of Canada to take action, Gal-lant raised her hand in stop-sign fashion.

Do you want politicians tinkering with the dollar? she asked rhetorically.

With a government that main-tains there is little role for it to play in driving the economy - even in the face of state-run cap-italist nations like China claim-ing victories in the manufactur-ing sector - companies such as Arnprior Aerospace are scram-bling to keep one step ahead.

The subsidies continue. Mon-treal-based Boeing is home to a number of federal ridings deemed crucial to all political parties. And there remains rules in place that make it necessary to protect manufacturing jobs in Canada.

However, Melvin said there is no mistaking that his company is in a globalized environment.

Arnprior Aerospace invested some $9 million in new tech-nologies over the past five years, on top of the $50,000 for train-ing Gallant came by to observe. The idea is to leave low-cost

manufacturing to places like Mexico; to not even attempt to compete with lower wages and lower input costs, but to keep the lead on developing technologies and convincing clients to buy-in ahead of the curve.

But even that is fraught with danger. The relatively new Dreamliner model, Boe-ings answer to Airbus, outsold all competition before it was released. So far, though, only 27 have been shipped out, less than half what designers had hoped. The technology can prove daunt-ing.

Since 2005, really, its been cutthroat now that we are no longer a part of Boeing, Mel-vin said. We dont have anyone looking out for us anymore. It is what it is.

EEDITORIALGOING BACK IN TIMELet it be

It would be a shame if a cougar seen by at least three people on the outskirts of Arnprior recently meets the same unfortunate fate as two moose that unwisely entered the suburbs of Ottawa this month.

The two moose were shot by police when nobody else would take action to remove them from the city. Ottawa officials have arranged a meeting with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to discuss ways to prevent such an outcome again if there is another incursion of wildlife in the city.

There needs to be a plan in place to deal with Arnpriors cougar if it becomes a pest. So far it appears to have kept to itself and not threatened anyone. However, the latest report that suggests the big cat might have killed a dog is disturbing.

The MNR, while hamstrung by cutbacks and not convinced there are wild cougars in this area, should be ready to work with local officials to protect both the public and the cougar if there are other incidents,

The Eastern Cougar Organization maintains cougars do not pose a danger to humans. The cou-gar group suggests it is more likely someone will get hit by lightning than be attacked by a cougar and Canadians are 20 times more likely to be killed by a dog than a cougar.

With that in mind, shooting the cougar should only be considered as a last resort. If everyone exercises some common sense, the cougar should be able to live quite peaceably in our midst.

Knock, knock: any more money?To the editor:

Is it time we, the townspeople of Arn-prior, in a time where we are being taxed to death by both the federal and pro-vincial governments, begin to hold our honorable council and mayor account-able for their seemingly carefree atti-tude when it comes to spending our tax dollars?

While reading the Chronicle-Guide (June 10), I was stunned to read the first four or five pages. I was especially inter-ested in Coun. Jack Lammerts com-ments regarding Prince of the Prior festivities organizers request for $3,000 seed money: in the form of a loan.

According to the Chronicle-Guide, Coun. Lammert stated: Who will be shot when its not paid back? Just give them the money. Really, Mr. Lammert? You are aware its OUR tax dollars youre tossing around, arent you?

I would love to walk into a bank looking for a loan and have them tell me to just take the money no strings attached.

How about the $17,000 stated in the front page article for a solar panel study to determine if the Nick Smith Centre can even generate energy and income for the town? Thats a study, people its

50/50 whether or not anything will hap-pen - the entire plan could be scrapped. That $17,000 could just go swirling down the bowl.

How about the extra cost incurred by hiring more Municipal Law Enforce-ment Services to canvass door-to-door this summer looking for unregistered pets? I would be curious to see if the extra cost incurred justifies the antici-pated $2,600 -$5,000 in revenue.

I forgot to mention - the article stated that Municipal Law Enforcement Ser-vices will be keeping 50 per cent of the licensing fees. That brings the potential revenue to about $1,300-$2,500. Wow.

How about, and this is the clincher, the $10,000 (thats ten THOUSAND) coun-cil spent on a shaky, poorly lit promo-tional video that even mispronounced Mayor Gibeaus name. If I spent $10,000 on a video that not only had poor produc-tion value and mispronounced my name, I would certainly be looking for a refund. We should all seriously consider how council is spending our money every time we look at our tax bills. We should also consider it when election time final-ly arrives.

To the editor:

Dear citizens of Arnprior and area, I am writing today because I think we should bring the Go Train Service to our area.

The Go Train Service is an interregional public transporta-tion service that gives citizens lifts from place to place, much quicker and much safer.

Go Transit has been around since 1967, but hardly any prov-inces around here have it. I think that our areas such as Arnprior, Braeside, Renfrew, Eganville and Pembroke would really benefit from Go Transit.

Think how easy it would be to go do some shopping in Ottawa without having to drive that far.

Instead, you can just purchase a train pass, and kick your feet up and relax the whole way.

Since our normal transport trains are not running right now, and who knows when they will be back. I think that the Go Train service would be a perfect replacement because then our tracks wouldnt go to waste. We have a perfect, fast route here people, and lets not ruin it.

I understand it is not up to me, I am just a 17-year-old girl, but I think someone who is in charge of these situations should really think about this.

Rebecca ArbicArnprior

Anyone seen a cement turtle?

Arnprior councils pet control plan overkillTo the editor:

I am appalled at how intrusive it is to have bylaw officers check door-to-door for pets.

It is almost totalitarian in its zest for control of

citizens lives.I hope the council will

advise residents that they are under no legal obliga-tion to admit these min-ions onto their property, nor answer the door nor

answer their questions. Surely people have the

right to privacy and a right to avoid self-incrimi-nation?

Doug ReynoldsArnprior

To the editor:

Some time last week we noticed our large cement turtle was taken from our front flow-er garden from our Landrigan Street home.

I cant really say or prove who stole it, but I have a idea, because we have a few kids that do mis-chief things around here .

As this item is heavy, it must have taken a couple persons to take it away. Sometimes these type of things end up in other peoples gardens. I reported it to the police on Friday.

If anyone knows anything, call me at 613-622-0331 or email me at [email protected]. Thank you for help.

Uncertainty over farm land, servicing made development riskyContinued from front

It was the right idea, but not the right time, Campbell said. There just wasnt enough sup-port.

We have to be realistic, St. Amour said, explaining the approval process could have taken well over two years and forced the developers to under-take a number of costly studies without any high expectation of success.

He said setting a precedent by approving a $45-million multi-

unit residential development on farmland with some sort of high-technology water and sewer service would have been risky for both the developers and the township.

We dont want to put the township in a position where they might be liable, he said. I have a feeling this would have been a major task even for a big town.

He said was delighted by the co-operation he received from the township, especially from CAO Noreen Mellema, build-

ing inspector Doug Schultz and Campbell. I have every inten-tion of working with the town-ship on other projects, he said. But next time I think Ill do something a little bit easier on them and us.

Id like to leave the prec-edent-making the ground-breaking to those who have more time, he added. I dont have that amount of staying power.

The project had been proposed for land between the Madawaska River and White Lake Road near Mountain Creek Golf Course.

Dog, cat blitz approvedDEREK DUNN

[email protected]

The controversial dog and cat regis-tration passed Arnprior town council Monday evening, but not without some hesitation from at least one councillor.

The registration will see bylaw enforce-ment officers knocking on doors this summer to ask if homeowners have any of the unregistered pets.

There was some discussion around grandfathered animals who were unreg-istered before the current bylaw came into effect seven years ago. But much was said about what can be done if officers suspect an animal lives in the home.

I dont know how its going to work, said Coun. Mark Willmer. What we are approving is right, but its not simple.

Willmer said owners will have to prove their pets are spayed or neutered and have birth certificates are in place, along with other paper work. A lot is needed before owners can pay the registration fee, he said.

Chief administrative officer Larry Donaldson said he wouldnt want to be the officer charged with the responsibil-ity. However, he added town official will take people at their word and be accom-modating. Well deal with these in a reasonable, common sense way and try to achieve voluntary compliance, he said.

M-B to hire facilities/public works managerJOHN CARTER

[email protected]

McNab-Braeside council has decided to add a public works and property man-ager position to its staff.

The township has advertised the new position with the deadline for applica-tions this Friday, June 18.

Mayor Mary Campbell stressed that the new position is not replacing or changing the job being done by township road superintendent Brian Box. Hes a wonderful person doing a great job, she said. However, the township felt that with 15 recreation, fire and parks facilities it made sense to have a property manager. There are also the new facility accessi-bility questions to tackle under the new

provincial legislation.Adding public works responsibilities

to the position fits well and will provide leadership and co-ordination in a variety of areas, some that dont have a home right now, Campbell explained.

She said taking the responsibility for waste management and cemeteries from treasurer-deputy clerk Connie Graham will free her up for her core duties. As well, having a facilities manager will enable the new recreation director, when hired, to focus on programming instead of being always asked to deal with facil-ity issues, she added.

Campbell said the new manager can also tackle security concerns council has about some of its properties, notably the Waba Museum buildings.

Trained workers can visit communi-ties more frequently and can carry more supplies with them if they have a bike.

I thought that more people than just I could benefit from my surgery because of the little decision I made, said Kalnins, explaining how his personal fundraising drive. If I can get a bicycle to someone who could really make use of it, its a small step in giving back.

Kalnins was back on his bike on his

Honest to God you feel like youre 10 years old and you can ride your bike for the first time without someone hanging on to it and youre free to just go on your own. He then added an additional 10 days of recuperation to his B4H donation.

Motorist thought cougar was carrying dog Continued from front

Arnprior resident Darryl Wall said he was at the gas bar next to PJs about 1 p.m. Tuesday when a Toronto resident stopped and asked if there was a zoo or exotic animal farm nearby.

The driver said hed just seen a cougar on County Road 29 just off Highway 417 near the corner of the Madawaska Golf Course. The cougar came out of the left-hand ditch and crossed the road in front of him, he said, adding it looked as if it was carrying a dog.

The sighting was on the other side of the highway from where Margaret Cairns of White Lake saw a cougar May 17 while she was driving to work in Ottawa.

Wall said he regrets not getting the name of the Toronto man, but he rushed

to the scene to see if he could get a pho-tograph of the animal. However, it was nowhere to be seen.

He was adamant hed seen a cougar, said Wall. He asked if he should phone the police.

Wall suggested he contact the Ministry of Natural Resources, but doesnt know if he took the advice.

He said he isnt surprised by the sight-ing, as there is plenty of wildlife in the large bush area that stretches from the golf course to the Ottawa River.

Wall said from what hes read, cougars usually feed on deer and smaller wildlife. Its unfortunate if it attacked a dog, he said, noting people with young children and small pets should be careful in that area.

Developer decides against mayoralty runDEREK DUNN

[email protected]

Residential developer and 2009 Town Award winner Scott McEwan has opted not to join the mayoral race this year.

McEwan said his business keeps him busy, and he suspects his kids will keep him even busier next year. They enter teen years and are heavily involved in sports. McEwan had an interest in run-ning the town more like a business.

Arnprior cyclist makes down-time contribution to Bicycles for HumanityAYNSLEY MORRIS

Bicycles for Humanity Volunteer

Arnprior resident Andy Kalnins, an avid cyclist, runner, kayaker and Nordic walker, has just made a generous dona-tion to Ottawas Bicycles for Humanity (B4H) to help ship a container-load of second-hand mountain bikes to Malawi.

I know that every dollar Im giving is going to Africa, Kalnins says of his deci-sion to donate to B4H. Its going to help either the shipping of bicycles or procur-ing bicycle parts. Its specific and small and I know where my money is going.

But this generous donation is about more than just money; it represents the life-changing experience that Kalnins has undergone over the past eight months.

On Oct. 21, 2009, the very active 55-year-old felt a tightness in his chest when he was out for a run but didnt think much about it. He mentioned it to his doc-tor who ordered tests.

During a scan, the internist said stop doing everything, put the brakes on,

theres something going on, said Kaln-ins. He ended up on an operating table at the Ottawa Heart Institute Feb. 23 under-going quintuple bypass surgery. While it takes effort to recover from heart surgery, Kalnins thought of a way to give himself a little extra motivation: for every day he was off his bike, he was going to pledge $3 to B4H. The longer the recovery time, the more he would have to donate.

Kalnins was very fortunate to have an incredible number of health resources at hand. You get x-rays, blood tests, car-diograms, he said. I even had my own personal chest pump to control the drain-age. After I used it, it had to be disposed of. Most of the people on the planet dont have access to the care and surgery I had. For probably 90 per cent of the world, if you have chest pain, too bad, thats the way it goes.

A certain number of the bicycles that B4H ships to its partners are allocated to health care workers. Because there is a shortage of health care workers in many countries, and trained health care work-

donation shows the service is highly val-ued. The money will be used to spruce up the children and teen section. The corner window area will have a coffee counter and a few other items to warm it up.

It will make it a really inviting place for teens. A fun place, and well have a plaque for them, DeLuca said. Its astounding that they would raise that much money and think to give it locally to us. People are so good to us.

The library is a hub for people in town, she added, with between 350 and 500 people walking through the door on a summer day to sign out 600 to 700 items. It also has one of the highest per capita membership rates in the province.

Basement renovations are expected to wrap up near the end of July, after the elevator is installed.

It promises to be a banner summer at the Arnprior and District Museum.

With recently completed renovations, windows being replaced and the Prince and the Prior re-enactment just around the corner, the museum celebrated its opening June 9 with a full house.

David Forsyth, senior curator of Scot-tish Social History and Diaspora at the National Museum of Scotland, was the guest speaker for the event.

Im delighted to have David Forsyth here from Edinburgh, said Arnprior Museum curator Janet Carlile.

She credited supporters for their help.Id like to thank the council and the

Town of Arnprior for their continued support of this museum, said Carlile.

Without your support we really dont know what wed do, said Carlile.

In terms of an update, Carlile explained the windows have been taken out and should be replaced by the end of the month. They are being rebuilt using as many of the original materials as they possibly can, said Carlile.

A Trillium grant allowed for the refur-bishing of the top floor, which is now complete. This floor is where the Prince and the Prior exhibit will be housed in conjunction with the upcoming re-enactment of the princes 1860 visit to Arnprior.

LETS CONTINUE TO ENJOY THE GROVE!

396197

Please find me a homeEach week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up

for adoption.

# 3629 BarnabyDo you have a feline-free home to welcome this

handsome puppy? Barnaby, a neutered ve-year-old Beagle mix, was found in early December in Burnstown. He is a strong, energetic boy, who loves to go for walks. Barnaby is friendly but can be wary of strangers. He is a quiet dog who is housebroken. Barnaby would love a home with a fenced yard so he can enjoy off-leash exercise. Barnaby will need a feline free home, as he cannot resist the urge to chase cats. He gets along well with female dogs, and would be ne with children over ve. Please consider adopting this handsome boy.

#3638 Jade Are you an experienced, patient dog owner with

room for Jade, a year-old spayed Rottweiler/Lab mix? Jade was found running down the highway with her collar and leash attached. She is very loving and affectionate once she knows you. She is very wary of new people and will require a home that is willing to socialize her. Jade is good with cats and has a healthy respect of their space, she is timid around new dogs. Jade knows her basic obedience and is very intelligent so she will learn quickly. To see Jades true potential as a wonderful companion, interested adopters should come and spend some time with her. Jade is a sweet little puppy who deserves a wonderful forever home.

Supplies the shelter needs are Friskies canned cat food, bleach, liquid laundry soap and paper towels.

A new washroom has also increased the buildings capacity, said Carlile.

Algonquin College students will once again be involved in several museum projects, including construction of the Prince and the Prior exhibit.

Board members and other volunteers logged in excess of 3,000 hours last year.

Its an amazing figure and Im very grateful, said Carlile.

Arnprior Mayor Terry Gibeau thanked Carlile, board members and volunteers for all their hard work..

This really is the achievement of Arnprior and it continues to grow and it continues to thrive, said Gibeau.

THE EMIGRANTS KISTSpecial guest Forsyth said by some

estimates there are 50 million people across the world who can claim Scottish ancestry.

The history of the Scots in relation to Canada is long and deep, said Forsyth.

An emigrants kist, the chest that Scots traditionally brought with them on their journey to the new country, was on display, along with samples of the kind of personal items and other things people would have brought.

Forsyth spoke about the Scottish emi-grants who came to Canada, some with no choice, he said, but some who welcomed the new opportunity in a vast land.

You could lose Scotland in the middle

of Ontario, he said of the geographic comparison.

Among the slides Forsyth shared were examples of advertisements and newspaper articles about the journey to Canada.

Those who came were often educated and looking to improve their lives, he said, but are often portrayed as down-

and-outs. These were people who read newspapers, people who knew what was going on in the world, he said.

Chain migration, or word of mouth that life in Canada was good, ensured a steady stream of Scots emigrating here.

The introduction of the 10-pound tick-et after the Second World War further increased the flow.

Scottish roots run deep in Canada

Have lunchwith the Prince

The Prince is coming to lunch.

Following the historical re-enactment on July 3 of the Prince of Wales visit to Arnprior 150 years ago, a lunch replicating the menu that was served in 1860 will be offered.

Along the shores at the conflu-ence of the Ottawa and Madawas-ka Rivers, His Royal Highness Prince Albert Edward VII will be arriving for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McLachlin and many of the inhabitants of Arnprior and surrounding areas.

The lunch will be served at the home, The Hill (now called Galilee), hosted by the McLach-lins at 12:30. An expert caterer will recreate the elaborate menu that was served to the Prince of Wales. Lunch will include chilled roast beef loin, hot corned beef, chilled smoked tongue, oyster patties with mustard style dip, duck terrine, roast potatoes, fruit tarts, fresh fruit, fancy sandwich-es and sparkling punch.

The $35 tickets are available in Arnprior from the Gallery Gift Shop, Sweet and Sassy Co., Danny Macs Pub, Arnprior Dis-trict Museum and the Nick Smith Centre and in Almonte at Foodies Fine Foods.

Why did theracoons cross the road?

A family of raccoons temporar-ily disrupted traffic on John Street on June 1.

Motorists report that a mother raccoon and seven babies decided

to cross the upper end of John Street during the mid-day.

Several vehicles stopped to allow the procession to safely get across the road and disappear into

a nearby ravine. The raccoons have been seen frequently in the area recently, but it was the first time people reported them causing a traffic tie-up.

BALL HOCKEY TOUR-NAMENTS

Thanks to everyone who came out to our first ball hockey tournament. We invited Renfrew teams to play our Arnprior teams and everyone had a blast.

Our novice tournament was on Saturday. Renfrew Red dominated the tourna-ment to finish with the A Champs title against Ren-frew Yellow.

The only Arnprior team to make it to the A semi-finals was the Arnprior

Optimists.On the B side, OPG

ended up eliminating Tim Hortons in the semi-finals to go on and beat Renfrew Black and win B champs.

Reid Brothers was elim-inated in the B semi-finals by Renfrew Black.

Our atom tournament Sunday proved to be bet-ter for Arnprior teams. The day was exciting with three overtime games and Renfrew playing Arnprior in all games.

Both the Arnprior Lions and Mather Insur-ance teams (see photo page 28) made it to the A Side, where Lions dominated to go on and win with only five players against Ren-

frew Yellow. Mathers played a close game in the A finals against Renfrew Yellow.

On the B Side, Play it Again Sports fought hard but lost to Renfrew Black in the semi-finals.

Clancys went on to the B finals again Renfrew Black and won in over-time.

A great job by all teams and a special thank you to the coaches and referees who came out to help.

Another thank you to everyone who purchased a hot dog or drink Saturday.

The funds went towards purchasing t-shirts for all the Arnprior players and coaches.

There are two more weeks left of ball hockey so keep coming out.

Summer camp registra-tion is filling up.

Register now for one of our new and excit-ing camps like Survivor, Amazing Race, Go Girls, Mountain Bike Kids, Sail and Serve or Tennis.

ATV rollover claims lifePolice are warning all-terrain-vehicle

drivers to be careful after a Valley man was killed Sunday.

Lorne Trautrim, 43, of Laurentian Valley was driving his ATV along Station Hill Road when he lost control. The ATV left the roadway and overturned.

Trautrim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Another male accompanying Trau-trim on a dirt bike also lost control of his vehicle and suffered non-life threatening injuries. The vehicles did not collide with each other.

Citizen takes keys away from suspected impaired driver The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontar-

io Provincial Police (OPP) responded to 171 calls for service last week, many related to alcohol abuse.

On Sunday June 13, a motorist report-ed a possible impaired driver in Calabo-gie at about 4:30 p.m.

The witness advised the driver had almost struck a vehicle head-on.

When they vehicle pulled over, a citi-zen removed its keys.

Renfrew OPP officers attended and arrested the male driver.

He was taken to Renfrew Victoria Hos-

pital, where a blood sample was taken.A 44-year-old Ottawa man was charged

with impaired driving and further charg-es are pending.

He was released on a promise to appear in Renfrew Aug. 25.

Constable Ryan Besner investigated.Among other people charged by the

Renfrew OPP with offences under the Liquor Licence Act last week were a 22-year-old Pakenham man (intoxicated in a public place) and two 17-year-olds from Woodlawn (being under 19 and having alcohol).

There is lots of life on lilypadsOne of my favou-

rite ways of enjoying nature is to paddle a cedar canoe through a wetland, especially early in the morning or late in the evening.

This summer I am privileged to be con-ducting bird surveys by canoe in marshes near Lake Ontario. I start near sunrise and finish usually as the sun is setting. At both times there is much to see and hear.

Red-winged Black-birds and Marsh Wrens greet the rising sun with gusto. Great Blue Herons and American Bitterns explode into flight from hidden hunting sites. Otters suddenly appear only to vanish with a snort.

And for every large animal there are myri-ad small ones encoun-tered.

The floating leaves of water plants are major centres of activ-ity. Some leaves are small, such as the oval ones of Water-shield. By comparison, water-lily leaves are gigantic. White Water-lilies bear dinner-plate leaves

while those of Bull-head-lilies are heart-shaped.

Several species of Bluet damselflies perch on the floating leaves. Despite their name, several are not blue! The Marsh Bluet, whose thin abdomen bears partial black as well as blue segments, takes off from the pads and skims low over the waters surface in search of small prey.

The Orange Bluet does much the same. Only as the sun promis-es to disappear does the lovely yellow Vesper Bluet make its appear-ance.

Dragonflies also perch on floating leaves. The Dot-tailed White-

face is well named for this tiny black drag-onfly owns a shocking white face and a bright yellow spot near the end of its abdomen.

The larger Lilypad Clubtail, a beautiful green, black, and yel-low dragonfly with stunning blue eyes, also rests on the pads. When it returns after a flight it usually has some sub-stantial prey hanging out its mouth.

A number of birds walk on the floating leaves. Marsh Wrens, Swamp Sparrows (this name should be changed to Marsh Sparrow), and Red-winged Blackbirds hop across the pads with the agility of log driv-ers, plucking meals for their babies before the pads sink under their feet.

The long toes of chicken-sized Common Moorhens allow these mysterious birds to quickly wander across the living stepping-stones.

The behaviour of small flies has been particularly captivat-ing. Tiny bronze flies,

whose names I shall not know until I return home and hit the books, are particularly com-mon.

When the presumed females go about their business looking for food, the presumed males constantly try to mount them. After a number of rejections, some males get aggres-sive and fly up and down, striking their rejecters with a ven-geance.

A slightly larger brown-striped fly with maroon eyes slowly ambles across the pads. Repeatedly its massive mouthparts, looking like a stovepipe, drop down and vacuum the surface.

Time losing meaning when you experience the real world. Infinite displays of life and death, of romance and great beauty, make it impossible to be bored or lonely.

This is especially true when you explore a marsh by canoe.

WHOS NOBODY? Members of Lorna Pleaus class at McNab Public School recently wel-comed members of the Arnprior Rotary Club for the wrap-up of the Whos Nobody project, where students begin with a blank doll, com-plete community projects and add items to the doll to represent their efforts. The Rota-ry Club donated the doll to the school.

The Arnprior Rotary Clubs Dave Palmer accepts a card of thanks from Traleena Rouleau on behalf of the class. Projects ranged from helping neigh-bours to making care packages for soldiers in Afghanistan.

ADMH honours auxiliary membersSHERRY [email protected]

The Arnprior and Dis-trict Memorial Hospital and Grove Nursing Home Auxiliary continues to play a vital role at each of the important community facil-ities.

Hospital board chair Marlene McRoberts praised the auxiliarys efforts at the annual general meeting June 7.

We are very blessed to have such a dedicated group of people who give so much of their time and so much of themselves, she said.

From running the hos-pital gift shop and Oppor-tunity Shop to bedside vis-its and sewing auxiliary members play a vital role at the hospital and nurs-ing home. You make such a tremendous difference in the lives of others, said McRoberts.

Guests ADMH CEO Eric Hanna, Arnprior Mayor Terry Gibeau and McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary

Campbell also addressed the crowd and thanked the auxiliary members for their continued support.

The auxiliary added a new award this year four local businesses were recog-nized for their efforts.

Boyce Funeral Home, Dairy Queen, Gallery Gift Shop and Giant Tiger were honoured.

Finances are well in order, explained treasurer Art Turnewitsch. The aux-iliary, which pledged a total of $500,000, is working away at fulfilling the second half of the donation.

Were well on our way. We should have, at this time next year, the second $250,000 paid off due to the hard work of the volun-teers, said Turnewitsch.

Interim vice-president Sandra Stemp led the meet-ing in place of president Marilyn Werry, who is ill.

Stemp joined others in congratulating Werry on a successful term and wish-ing her a speedy recovery.

Bernice OConnor is the

new auxiliary president.

Citizens wishing to influence land use and environmental planning policies should consider running for municipal council.

That was one of the messages shared with the Carleton Landowners Associa-tion (CLA) by McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell.

Campbell was the guest speaker at the associations annual general meeting in Stittsville May 20.

In her speech, Campbell lamented that all provincial legislation these days is written from an urban point of view.

However, she urged people to work from within the system to bring about change, advocating that they get involved in municipal politics.

We have more potential power than

we ever had since 1850, she said refer-ring to municipalities.

She noted their new powers related to economic growth, environmental plan-ning and other areas of interest.

Deborah Madill, communications director for the Ontario Landowners Association, who also spoke at the meet-ing, added her voice to the need for the organization to become more structured.

We really have to be structured, she

said. We really have to be strong.She said that membership numbers

have to grow and the organization has to become strong, lamenting that if this does not happen, rural landowners are going to lose everything.

We have to go out there and kick butt, she said.

The CLA is one of 21 member associa-tions that make up the Ontario organiza-tion.

The Village of Burnstown and the Township of McNab-Braeside are extending an invi-tation to neighbours across the Ottawa Valley and beyond to their revamped summer festival McNab Days 2010.

Its a time when everybody is celebrating in Burnstown, said McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell, And they want you to have fun.

McNab Days is made up of three events. Affair of the Arts runs in Burnstown June 26 and 27, the Sunday Stretch is back at Red Pine Bay June 27 and Canada Day activities in Brae-side are July 1.

AFFAIR OF THE ARTSTraditionally held at the end

of May, Affair of the Arts has been incorporated into McNab Days.

Among the featured stops is a sneak peak at Richard Gills fall show Canadian Pacific Rail-way a Historic Perspective, at Fog Run Studio and the unique floor art by Riverstone Gallerys Karen Phillips-Curran, who will share sketches of her mural designs that will be part of the unveiling of an Oscar Peterson statue in conjunction with the Queens visit in July.

Gills collection was inspired by the history of the rail line.

I got reading about it this

winter and I was just fascinated by what a story it is, he said. Without it, we wouldnt have Canada as we know it.

Marquetry artist Stephen Haigh of Images Studio is cel-ebrating his 40th anniversary of the age-old woodcraft and he welcomes visitors to the studio.

Bittersweet Gallery will fea-ture a trunk show party and celebration of Italian design with the new Pial collection by Montreal designer Anne Marie Chagnon. Refreshments with a Tuscan flair will be offered on the patio from 3 to 7 p.m. Sat-urday.

Were inviting people to join us for a party, said owner Cher-yl Babineau.

Valley carver Dub Juby will also be on hand during the festi-val to demonstrate his skills.

The Neat Coffee Shop will be abuzz with activity throughout the weekend. Neat hosts a cel-ebration of local authors that includes readings and discus-sions and dinner/concert events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

A highlight of the author event is the Canadian launch of Blue Night, Blue Day by McNab-Braesides newest author, Andrea McKay.

The Madawaska River Mar-ket grounds will be host to sev-eral special events, including short scenes by the LAFT the-atre group, an Affair of the Arts Singing Idol, and demonstra-tions and displays by a number

of area artists and authors.

EXTENDED SUNDAY STRETCH

Andy Kalnins knows all too well the importance of a healthy lifestyle and hes wasted no time getting behind the Sunday, June 27 Stretch by the River event.

Kalnins, a lead organizer of the event along with wife Anda, underwent a quadruple bypass at the Ottawa Heart Institute in February.

He encourages everyone to get out and get active and what better way to do it than along-side fellow community mem-bers?

You can walk or you can ride your bike or bring your dog out for a walk, said Kalnins.

With the positive response to last years event, the Heart Institute, Ontario Power Gener-ation and Renfrew County Para-medics are growing the event to include two start times from Red Pine Bay in Braeside.

Rick Rogers, Renfrew Coun-ty Paramedic Services District Manager, says paramedics sup-port events like the Sunday Stretch in a big way.

Its all part of promoting a healthy lifestyle in the County of Renfrew, he said. We feel theres a need for it.

As part of the Sunday Stretch, the Upper Ottawa Valley Tai Chi

Club will demonstrate tradition-al movements, as well as sword and staff-based exercises.

The event begins at 4 p.m., with two starts at 4
