    A major breakdown at the Arnprior sewage plant has forced the town to take emergency action to han-dle a growing backlog of sludge.

    Council agreed Monday to approve leasing a sludge dewatering system to be shipped in from Edmon-ton to temporarily replace

    a Centrifuge machine that has malfunctioned.

    Councillors agreed they had no choice, despite concerns about cost and possible odour problems from the temporary dewa-tering equipment, which will operate outside the plant for at least the next four months at an esti-mated cost of more than $100,000.

    Continued from frontTown CAO Larry Donaldson explained

    that Renfrew has been kind enough to treat several loads of sludge at its plant since the July 14 breakdown to help Arn-prior cope. However, because the plants use different processes, there is a limit to what Renfrew can take and the offer could be withdrawn at any time, he said.

    It is also costing the town about $7,000 a week in hauling and processing costs to have the sludge dewatered in Renfrew.

    Public works and engineering director Janet Collins said the town hasnt been able to fi nd any other municipalities that will take the 60 cubic metres of sludge a day generated at the Arnprior plant.

    As a result, the other option, leasing portable dewatering equipment, became the priority. The closest Centrifuge avail-able immediately for lease was found in Edmonton, she said.

    Collins anticipated the equipment would arrive by weeks end and be opera-tional about a day later. It will be close, but I think we can manage until then, she told council, noting the town does have some extra storage space.

    If not, the town has some local haulers on standby so their trucks could be used for storage in a pinch, said Donaldson. Im confi dent we have adequate storage capacity, but well let council know imme-diately if that changes.

    Collins assured council the towns sew-age is still being treated and chlorinated, but without the Centrifuge not as much of the solids are being removed. However, its still within standards, she noted.

    She stressed that the breakdown had

    nothing to do with construction at the plant. A bearing seized up and damaged the machines housing and auger, but not its motor or electrical system, she said.

    The temporary dewatering equipment is needed as a short-term solution to give engineers time to scrutinize the plants damaged Centrifuge to see if and how it can be repaired, said Collins.

    If it can be dismantled and the parts fi xed on site, it should be back in action quicker than if it has to be shipped away for repairs, Donaldson explained.

    He admitted there may be odour issues because the temporary plant is an exter-nal system.

    Well try to mitigate it as much as pos-sible, he said, adding the town doesnt have much choice but to bring in the plant to deal with the sludge.

    Coun. Jack Lammert urged town staff to be proactive on the odour issue and look into housing the unit in a plastic shed. I dont want to wait until the phone calls start coming, he said.

    Collins said staff are consulting with the provincial ministry of environment on the issue and are looking into canopies or other means of controlling the smell. Given the time of year and construction at the plant, it is a concern, she said.

    Donaldson said staff have also asked Pace Dewatering Systems, which is pro-viding the equipment, for advice on con-trolling smell.

    Coun. Nancy Black suggested nearby residents be alerted.

    Were asking people to be patient with us, said Donaldson. We hope to get back to normal soon.

    A freak late-night collision be-tween an all-terrain-vehicle and a riding lawnmower has killed a well-known Arnprior area sports-man.

    Jeffrey Draper, 28, died Monday as a result of the early Sunday morning crash in West Carleton,

    Ottawa Police report the ATV rear-ended the lawnmower about 3:45 a.m. near the corner of Kin-burn Side Road and Mohrs Road.

    Draper, who was not wearing a

    helmet, was thrown from the ve-hicle. The Kinburn resident suf-fered serious head injuries and was rushed to the Ottawa Hospi-tals Civic campus.

    Friends and family rallied round, but Draper died during the day Monday.

    His organs were donated and could save up to fi ve other people.

    In the original report on the crash, police said speed and alco-hol factored in the collision.

    After an investigation by the Ottawa Polices Collision Inves-tigation Unit, a 26-year-old Pak-

    enham man, allegedly the driver of the lawnmower, was charged with impaired driving and driv-ing with a blood-alcohol level ex-ceeding 80 mg.

    Draper grew up in Braeside and attended Arnprior District High School. He worked as an environ-mental engineer at SNC-Lavalin and was an avid outdoorsman.

    Arnprior Coun. Eric Burton, a school chum, noted that Drapers team had won an annual golf-fi shing challenge competition a couple of weeks ago. He was a champion, he said.

    Most of the 32 participants went to the hospital to support of the family, including Burton, who missed Mondays council meeting to be with his friend.

    A wake is being held at the Boyce Funeral Home today (Thursday) from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. and 10 a.m. Friday. His funeral will be held at Emmanual Angli-can Church in Arnprior this Fri-day, July 30 at 11 a.m.

    He is survived by his parents Eric and Marion Draper of Sand Point, brother David, and fi ancee Haleigh McClenaghan.

    Continued from frontAnyone seeing anything suspicious in the area

    of the school early Tuesday morning is asked to call Arnprior OPP.

    With the fi res breaking out in two places, it was obviously not accidental, Okum said. The fi re in the pail had been set a short time prior to the fi re departments arrival, he noted.

    That fi re was close to the school, so could have endangered the building, he said.

    The dumpster was far enough from the school to not be a threat.

    However, any fi re is dangerous, said Okum, explaining fi refi ghters have to be careful when ap-proaching dumpster fi res. There could be items such as aerosol cans in the garbage that could ex-plode, he said.

    There are also environmental issues when gar-bage is burned, he added.

    Lighting those fi res is a Criminal Code offense, he stressed. Its a serious issue.

    Okum said residents in the area have a right to be concerned when someone sets fi res in their neighbourhood.

    While its the fi rst dumpster fi re in Arnprior for some time, its caught the attention of emergency offi cials. With the Grove (fi re) and now this one, its starting to be a concern for the fi re depart-ment, Okum said.

    GROVE FIREThe McNab-Braeside Fire Department and the

    OPP were called about 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 18 when Gillies House residents Alex Winter and Ron MacIntyre reported seeing two young males setting a fi re in the area of Grove near their property.

    As the fi re was close to the boundary of McNab-Braeside and Arnprior, the town fi re department was also called. By the time fi refi ghters arrived, the fi re had been put out by passers-by and OPP of-fi cers.

    It was the second fi re in the Grove in the past couple of months.

    Anyone with information that might help iden-tify the two suspects is asked to call Arnprior OPP.

    Smell of smoke alarms neighbours

    Arnprior fi refi ghters en-tered an Arnprior apartment Sunday afternoon to investi-gate a smell of smoke.

    It was the second such call in two weeks.

    Doug Miller of Citadel Crafts called the fi re depart-ment about 2:30 p.m. after smelling smoke from the up-stairs apartment and being unable to fi nd anyone home.

    Firefi ghters used a ladder to enter the second-fl oor John Street apartment through a window and found a burned pizza in the sink. The smell had circulated throughout the complex through the air conditioning system.

    A call to an apartment a block away on July 10 was more serious.

    A ringing smoke alarm prompted neighbours to call the fi re department. When they entered the second fl oor apartment through a window they found a smoking pot on the stove about to break out into a full-fl edged fi re.

    Fire chief John Okum said the apartments occupant was sound asleep, oblivi-ous to the danger. The man could have succumbed to the smoke if the fi re department wasnt called, he said.

    Okum notes the incident proves the worth of smoke alarms and advises people to call the fi re department if they hear an alarm or smell smoke.

    M-B zoning bylaw changes critiquedJOHN CARTER

    [email protected]

    About 100 McNab-Braeside residents turned out July 14 to comment on the future direction of their township.

    Most waited to talk to township councillors and offi cials one-on-one af-ter the formal part of the public meet-ing into the townships comprehensive zoning bylaw at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Braeside.

    However, there were some verbal presentations, with most of the con-cerns relating to environmental pro-tection areas, fl ood plane restrictions, in-home businesses regulations and an increase in frontage and lot size limits in the Campbell Drive area.

    The township also received a large number of written submissions at and after an open house the week be-fore, which also attracted close to 100 people.

    Council will discuss the public in-put and possible revisions to the draft bylaw at a special meeting next Tues-day, Aug. 3 at 6 p.m., an hour before its regular meeting.

    However, its not likely to make a fi -nal decision on changes and pass the bylaw until the September meeting.

    Mayor Mary Campbell thanked resi-dent for showing interest, stressing the bylaw provides the details for the

    townships offi cial plant that guides council on land use provisions and refl ects how the community wants th area to develop.

    Several residents suggested the by-law includes environmental protec-tion provisions for water courses that no longer exist or only do sobriefl y during the year.

    Planner Bruce Haworth advised residents to report changed water courses. so a planner can visit the area and update the maps and bylaws if ap-propriate.

    Phil Bayford was one of several res-idents urging council to relax front-age changes that would restrict some Campbell Drive residents when they go to sever their property. I never would have purchased my property if I knew my hands were going to be tied, he said.

    Gordie Russett suggested council is unreasonable if it doesnt allow ex-isting property-owners to be grandfa-thered so their lots remain under the existing frontage and lot size provi-sions.

    Campbell said the changes were proposed because of the need for more separation of septic beds and wells what with modern household practic-es and extreme weather causing new pressures on those facilities.

    There are safety reasons (for the changes).

    However, council will consider grandfathering provisions for existing residents, she said.

    Two residents expressed concerns that the bylaw would ban a food-serv-ing business in a Waba home and asked council to rethink the home oc-cupation designation.

    Kathryn Lindsay urged council to ensure provisions protecting wetlands and restricting certain development in the fl ood plane along the Ottawa River be clear in the bylaw.

    Phil Bayford, one of almost 100 resi-dents attending McNab-Braesides comprehensive zoning public meeting, discusses his concerns with township building inspector Doug Schultz.

    Editorial Policy

    To the editor:

    Im not sure who penned the editorial Operational haphazard, but a little more research should have gone into it before release. The last two paragraphs are far from impressive.

    The group actually includes, I believe, four municipalities, and the principle is admirable, but as far as Arnpriors participation goes, its a disappointing failure.

    Last year only 138 residents par-ticipated, and on checking a couple of weeks ago this year will not be much better.

    About three years ago, an environ-mental group planned a one-day collec-tion where residents could bring their household hazardous waste products to a gathering location (one-day col-lection) where volunteers would load these items into their own vehicles, list all the Arnprior residences whose waste it was and deliver it to our shared depot in Renfrew.

    Good plan? Not so. Three days before the collection day, I

    received a notice that what we planned

    was in fact illegal in Ontario. I found out quickly about all the licensing re-quired in Ontario. Licensing to collect household hazardous waste, licensing to transport such products on provin-cial highways, very expensive liabil-ity insurance and a number of other requirements.

    Obviously the project went down the drain very quickly, as the insurance alone would cost approximately $800.

    The moral of this story is simply that, it costs less to hold single-day events and pay an experienced licensed HHW operator to collect and remove this dan-gerous waste from our community.

    It has also been stated to me that reimbursement would be forthcoming from the Ontario government (not yet confi rmed).

    From all the literature I have read, and a number of events attended, this is the most practical route to take.

    The alternative is to continue to send this material to our landfi ll site or down the drain as it is now. Isnt it time to take positive action now?

    Re, Page 1 the July 22 Chroni-cle-Guide and Mr. Langs com-ments regarding the recent ap-pointment of David Johnston as Canadas next Governor-General.

    I can confi rm for you that, indeed, David did live in Arn-prior on John Street in l947 for one year. His dad owned the Cochrane Dunlop/Firestone Cockshutt Implements store.

    I have known David for some time and he shared that fact with me some time ago.

    My connection with him is re the University of Waterloo. I have a scholarship at that uni-versity. My most recent commu-nication with him was immedi-ately after he was appointed GG.

    Canada will be well-served by David in the offi ce of Gover-nor-General. His background and leadership, in education, as well as other disciplines, is world renowned.

    He is exactly what is needed, particularly at this time, and I, like so many others know, as Canadas next Governor-General Mr. Johnston, will execute the re-sponsibilities of that high offi ce with honour and distinction.

    Community service has been one of his main focuses for many years.

    Everybody wants to take time off during the summer, but if you have an important job, that isnt always easy.

    But if you are McNab-Braeside Council, where we, the taxpay-ers, are the employers, but we hardly ever go to council meet-ings to check on whats going on, its easy. You make a motion to have meetings cancelled.

    Too busy for council holiday

    LEGAL NOTICE

    From page 4And thats exactly what

    Deputy Mayor Elmer Raycroft did. Vote yourself a holiday. (Councillor Dunlop was absent and Mayor Campbell can only vote if it is a tie).

    This was to be a busy sum-mer, with all that is coming up now and this fall, council needs to have their full roster of regular meetings. Heres just a partial list: the comprehensive zoning

    bylaw, which affects all McNab-Braeside ratepayers has to be amended after public input; the Miller Company appli-

    cation for the Braeside Quarry

    expansion and asphalt plant is fi nally coming to the public input stage so all of the Miller studies and peer reviews are to be in; council might want to read and discuss these: contaminated water con-

    cerns for the people of Brae-side; will council commission a study to look for the source of the contamination? comprehensive handling

    of many noise bylaw viola-tions.

    And, we should mention, there is an election this fall.

    Regina RolphBraeside

    Council has full roster this summer MP wrong on G20 protest responseTo the editor:I was very disappointed and

    sad to see Cheryl Gallant justi-fying the abuses of power and money that took place during the G20 summit in Toronto.

    Having viewed evidence in private footage, I believe at least some of these incidents were staged, in order to justify the ex-penditure and to allow the abus-es of police power which were to follow, denying citizens freedom of peaceful expression (signs, speeches, music, poetry, etc.).

    Mainstream media coverage of the majority, who were promot-

    ing peace, was absent, and many, including innocent bystanders, people coming home from work, etc., had their civil, charter, and human rights seriously abused. They were arrested and incar-cerated, without legal proce-dure, and under conditions that violated human rights.

    All levels of government have the power to call public inqui-ries. Please Cheryl, stand up and speak out for ensuring the future rights of you, your family and your constituents.

    The musicians who provided free entertainment outside Giant Tiger in Arnprior on Canada Day should be applauded, says letter-writer.

    To the editor:

    I just wanted to add my two cents with respect and thanks to the people involved at the Gi-ant Tiger parking lot on Canada Day.

    I noticed that there was little to no recognition to those giving hearts. I think Arnprior should be proud to have such great giv-

    ing individuals living here.So I want to say thank you

    very much to Gary and John (two guys on guitar) and guests Howie LeBrun, George Harrison, Cory Scheel, Giant Tiger and all the volunteers.

    Well done, everyone.

    Ground-mounted solar preferable to roof planTo the editor:

    Re. the Town of Arnprior so-lar photovoltaic program.

    I have noted with interest that the Town of Arnprior has ap-proved a feasibility study to de-termine if they should proceed with a project to install a solar photovoltaic program on the roof of the Nick Smith Centre at an estimated cost of $925,560 to $1,183,739, for a 98.0-kw or a 140.2-kw installation

    The study contains a cost of $6,495 for inspection and engi-neering analysis for structural suitability of the arena roof.

    Arena roofs are designed to carry snow loads only and are required to have a structural review and report completed ev-ery fi ve years. To add solar pan-els to the roof will probably re-quire structural improvements, but at what cost?

    The project is proposed to be placed on 26,400-square-feet of the roof that was replaced last year. To expect that portion of the roof to be maintenance-free for 20 years is, in my opinion, wishful thinking

    The project does have merit, however, with a payback period

    if 10.7 to 14.5 years, depending on the system that might be used. A ground mount system seems to be a better option. However, the only costing seems to be an option for a lO-kwh in-stallation for $75,000.

    It seems to me that the funds for a feasibility study should in-clude a ground mount installa-tion equal to 140-kwh or larger

    Where would a ground mount installation be constructed?

    The Town of Arnprior owns property outside its boundaries with access to the hydro distri-bution system. One parcel of land contains 57 acres of which approximately 35 acres might be suitable for a ground mount system. Another parcel con-tains approximately nine acres of land.

    Then there is land at the mu-nicipal airport that is not fully utilized and perhaps some of that land might be made avail-able.

    Council should change the terms of reference for the study to include all options since some land for the project is al-ready owned by the Town of Arnprior.

    These are times when new ad-

    ditional revenue streams must be found. The proposed size of 140.2 kwh and the system of so-lar panels with a feed-in rate of 73 cents per kwh has a potential revenue of $99,800 to $120,800 per year over a 20-year period.

    The revenue potential over the 20-year period could be esti-mated at $2,500,000 leaving a net profi t to the town of $1,000,000 after the maintenance costs and payback period.

    I would hope that Council will consider a ground-mounted sys-tem over a roof system due to the unknown life expectancy of the arena roof and maintenance costs over the 20-year period.

    A ground-mounted system has the potential for a larger system than 140.2 kwh, which could be installed in phases to increase revenues in the future. The cost appears to be less and the life of the system would be greater by not having any po-tential roof replacement in 20 years, or less.

    (The foregoing information is based on a staff report submit-ted to Council on June 7, 2010.)

    Basketball takes ADHS player to Argentina, WinnipegPETER CLARK

    [email protected]

    Arnprior District High School ath-lete Mike Shoveller is proving success comes to those who chase their goals.

    A member of the ADHS Redmen ju-nior boys basketball team, and Goul-bourn Hornets of the Eastern Ontario Basketball Association, the soon-to-be Grade 10 student learned of a try-out for Team Ontarios Under-15 team in Ottawa.

    I went to an open try-out for Team Ontario in Ottawa in May. I made the top 60 (players) and went to Toronto. Then I made the top 30 and went back, and made the top 15, sums up Shovel-lers successful road in a nutshell.

    Then, from July 10-19, Shoveller and his Ontario teammates travelled to Ar-gentina where they met the hosts and

    a number of other South American teams.

    We lost to an Under-17 team by 20 points, and then lost by one point in overtime, Shoveller said of the fi rst two games.

    But then the wins started coming.We defeated Brazil, Argentina and

    Uruguay in a tournament, but lost on point differential, Shoveller pointed out.

    We beat Argentina on their home fl oor. That was a highlight. The crowd wasnt too pleased, he added with a grin.

    The son of Bruce and Kim Shovel-ler of Arnprior, Mike is also one of 12 players to make Ontarios Under-15 team that will be competing at the Ca-nadian championships next week in Winnipeg.

    Team Ontario coach Jeff Giovanatti

    is pleased with what the Arnprior ath-lete brings to the table.

    Mike is young kid with a very bright upside. Aside from the obvious (6 9 frame), Mike is a true charac-ter kid, Giovanatti observed, adding Shoveller is passionate about learning the game of basketball.

    He has displayed this to the Ontar-io coaching staff by his continued de-velopment with us this summer where he has earned a position in our fi nal 12. He is a big kid, with an even bigger heart. The future is bright for Mike Shoveller.

    The team leaves this weekend for Winnipeg, and Shoveller looks ahead to the experience.

    Im really looking forward to it. It should be a lot of fun.

    Its been a great summer so far, he says.

    REMEMBERING THE LOWE BROTHERS (AND NOW THE FATHER)Several Arnprior area fi shermen, friends of the Lowe family, took part in the sixth annual Lowe Memorial Fishing Derby June 27. The derby is held in memory of brothers Robert and Stephen Lowe, who drowned in a boating accident on White Lake Aug. 1, 2004. Among the participants, from left, are Dave Craig of Arnprior, Robin Kean and son Connor Lowe, Steve OConnor, the brothers parents Diane and Ron Lowe, and Kevin Fabian and Dave Colton, both of Arnprior. Shawn Coombes caught the largest fi sh of the day, a 5.63-pounder, while Jeff List and Clancy Mulvihill of Arnprior had the biggest aggregate catch with fi ve fi sh weighing 18 lb., 1 oz. The fi shermen, and the community as a whole, was shocked to hear that Ron Lowe, the deputy mayor of Whitewater Region, died suddenly late Saturday of a heart attack. Funeral services were held at St. Andrews United Church in Beachburg Wednesday. Photo by Kristine OConnor

    McGee solidifies leadin amateur championship

    PETER CLARK

    [email protected]

    An Arnprior golfer has taken a stranglehold in the battle for the Ottawa Citizen Amateur Golf Championship.

    Three-time Ottawa City and District Champion Allen McGee of Arnprior leads the way by seven strokes with a 214 total fol-lowing three rounds of play in the four-round event that ends today (Thursday).

    McGee, who has fi nished sec-ond in the competition four times, grabbed the lead with a 69 at the Loch March Golf & County Club July 21. He followed that up with a 70 Monday at the Kanata Golf and Country Club.

    Renfrew Golf Clubs Dwight Reinhart is tied for second, seven back, after being only one stroke behind after two rounds.

    His two-round total of 73-72 had him on McGees heels after

    two rounds, but he shot a 76 Mon-day.

    A former club professional at Renfrew, Reinhart is the 2010 OVGA Match Play Champion, and the winner of two CPGA Ot-tawa Zone Championships before he regained his amateur status.

    Other area golfers still conten-tion are Arnpriors Chris Ber-nard and Kevin Mulvihill.

    They were fourth and a fi fth respectively after two rounds with scores of 148 and 149.

    Bernard fi red rounds of 77-71, and Mulvihill 77-72. Bernard shot 76 Monday to stay within 10 shots of the lead.

    The tournament opened with 136 players competing, of which 72 advanced through the second-round cut.

    They include Renfrews Jason Allen (161), Stephane Pare (161) and Ben Allen (162) and Arnpri-ors Jeff McCormick (159) and Mike Payer (165).

    11Stay focused,stay safe

    on the longweekend: OPP

    On the Civic Holiday long weekend, the Ontario Provincial Police will be working to help ensure motorists and outdoor en-thusiasts have a safe holiday.

    Offi cers will continue to focus on the big three causes of inju-ries on the roads waterways and trails aggressive driving, drink-ing and driving and improper use of seatbelts, restraints and fl ota-tion devices.

    Aggressive driving includes the offences of speeding, following to closely and unsafe lane changes. Off-road and waterway aggres-sive driving is defi ned as speed-ing too fast for conditions and operating vessels and all-terrain vehicles without due care and at-tention for other users.

    These offences are the leading causes of serious crashes and fatalities on Ontarios highways, waterways and trails.

    Drinking and driving offences continue to be the leading crimi-nal cause of death in Ontario.

    Throughout the province, R.I.D.E. programs will be set up to target drivers who disrespect others by drinking and driving.

    The proper use of seatbelts and child restraints will also be a fo-cus, as the OPP continues to see preventable injuries and deaths occurring in collisions where oc-cupants are either not wearing seatbelts or are using them im-properly.

    OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino reminds motorists that collisions and injuries are pre-ventable.

    Motorists and pleasure craft operators must drive according to conditions and obey the laws, he said.

    It is sad that emergency servic-es personnel continue to need to respond to these tragedies where someone has needlessly lost their life and family members have to deal with that loss just because basic common sense was replaced by reckless behaviour.

    OPP Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Com-mander for Traffi c Safety, re-minds everyone that incidents arent limited to our highways but also occur on our waterways and trails.

    During the recent Canada Day extra-Long Weekend, 16 people lost their lives on Ontario High-ways, trails and waterways, he said.

    This is why we will be dou-bling our efforts at enforcement to prevent fatalities this long weekend.

    Take time to keep each other safe and set a safe example for others.

    Drive carefully, wear your life-jackets and seatbelts and ask oth-ers to do the same.

    for adoption.

    3711 ZeekCan you provide a forever family for this wonderful

    companion? Zeek was brought to the shelter in May after his owner was no longer able to look after him. He is a very handsome brown, one-and-a-half-year-old male tabby with white markings. Zeek, who has been neutered, is a quiet cat. He enjoys attention but is not demanding. Zeek loves to be petted and brushed but is not fond of being picked up and carried. Zeek is good with other cats.

    # 3149 RipleyRipley is a special cat who is sure to keep his new

    family entertained. He has been at the shelter for almost two years after he was brought in as a stray. Ripley is a very handsome, seven-yearold neutered male He is an active, curious, outgoing cat who likes to explore. Ripley can be very affectionate - he loves to climb onto your shoulders and ride around. However, if he is not in the mood for attention he will let you know. He has lots of personality and can be quite silly. He likes to burrow under the blankets in the cat beds and poke his face out. He would be best suited in an adult-only home where he is the only pet.

    Supplies the shelter needs: bleach, cat beds, wild bird seed and canned kitten food.

    Thrills and more at the 156th Arnprior Fair Aug. 5-8

    SHERRY HAAIMA

    [email protected]

    Thrill seekers, youre in for a treat at this years Arnprior Agrictultural Soci-ety Fair coming up Aug. 5 to 8.

    Agricultural Society director Lynn Grinstead says the addition of Edge Mo-torsports extreme thrill show is the per-fect way to kick off the 156th annual fair on Thursday evening.

    Were very excited about Edge Motors-ports coming, says Grinstead.

    With monster trucks and daredevil mo-torcyclists, fair goers will not be disap-pointed in the event, a feature that Grin-stead remembers as a part of the fair in years past. When I was a kid we used to have this come into Arnprior for the fair, said Grinstead. Its nice to see that kind of action come back.

    Another highlight, says Grinstead, is Friday evenings April Wine show.

    The Canadian rockers have just been inducted into the Canadian Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and its the bands 40th an-niversary year, so the agricultural society couldnt be happier to see them returning to the Arnprior Fair stage. Everybody loves April Wine, says Grinstead. Were hoping for a big turnout.

    Also new this year, the Bowmanville Zoo will be on hand with exotic animals all weekend. The zoo offers an education-al, fun program for fair goers, explains Grinstead.

    Added to the Sunday schedule is a lawn tractor pull, which promises to be a fun addition to the fairs community events, said Grinstead. A free pancake breakfast is also being offered on Sunday.

    Itll be great, people can come out for breakfast on Sunday and stay for the trac-tor pull at 1 p.m.,

    The traditional favourites will contin-ue to be a part of the fair, said Grinstead. The Saturday evening demolition derby, exhibit hall, petting zoo, team penning and 4-H shows are all on the schedule.

    A Sunday afternoon bingo has been added to the events, as well. Arnprior Le-gion Branch 174 hosts the bingo.

    The Arnprior Librarys lower level is expected to be open at the end of Au-

    gust. Information about the construc-tion at the library in last weeks Chron-icle-Guide indicated incorrectly that it would be open by the end of July.

    JOHN CARTER, DEREK DUNN

    [email protected]

    Two Algonquin College instruc-tors have lived up to their Over 50 but not over the hill motto by cycling from Jasper to Ottawa.

    Mario Ramsay and Chris Ru-tishauser passed through Arn-prior July 22 in the last leg of the marathon trip, which took 30 days.

    They said they undertook the ride as not only a personal chal-lenge, but to be role models for students.

    They said they wanted to en-courage them to set goals and continue to learn throughout their lives.

    Asked on day 29 at their stop in Arnprior if they were tired and regret having taken on the chal-lenge, Ramsay said nope, and that he is already looking forward to repeating it next year.

    Its a beautiful sunny day with the wind behind us, he said. It feels like weve been out for a short ride.

    Roads for cycling are worst in Ontario, they said.

    See RIDERS, Page 15

    Mario Ramsay, left, and Chris Rutishauser are Algon-quin College instructors who stopped by Arnprior last week during their Jasper-to-Ottawa bicycle tour. The pair took 30 days to do the trip, hoping it would inspire students and prove that even those aged 50-plus can accomplish anything they set out to do.

    Riders see themselves as role modelsContinued from Page 14

    They enjoyed their brief sojourn through Arnprior.

    Ive been here a few times, said Ram-say. Its a nice town, and weve had stu-dents from here over the years, too.

    You are a role model as a teacher, Ru-tishauser said.

    We did it for ourselves and our stu-dents. We wanted to show our students that you should be healthy in body and mind.

    Their plans for day one after the trip differed dramatically. Ramsay said after a month on the road, his wife will expect the grass to be cut and other chores done. Rutishauser has about two dozen episodes of Coronation Street to sit down with.

    The pair didnt put a lot of emphasis on the age aspect, saying it was highlighted more for fun than anything else.

    Kids do think if you look old We dont look at it that way. If you can ac-

    complish the things you set out to do, age doesnt matter, Ramsay said.

    Ramsay is a culinary chef and Ru-tishauser a pastry chef at Algonquin Col-lege.

    Both riders spent months prepar-ing physically for the trek, riding their bikes to work, and on weekends to build strength and endurance.

    They spent time planning the route and deciding on the correct supplies that would allow them to camp in tents as of-ten as possible, and still maintain a pace that would get them home in 30 days.

    The route evolved as the trip pro-gressed. The total planned distance was 3,747 kilometres.

    The drive from Ottawa to Jasper, with bike and supplies loaded in a van, allowed them to take a close look at the road sur-face, and more importantly, the size of the paved shoulder.

    67Tornadoes, noisy birds, no Tims in U.S. top challenges for ridersContinued from Page 15

    Once their trip was underway, the route changed frequently, with a side trip through the up-per U.S.

    Traffi c and road construction forced detours, and advice from locals met in transit provided insight into better and safer routes.

    They shared insight and com-ments throughout their trip on the blog http://ramsaymario.

    wordpress.com.For example, on Day 24, the

    blog notes: Trans Canada in Ontario is not made for bicy-cling, sometimes no shoulder or if lucky one to two feet wide pavement.

    The worst road so far on this trip, I guess the Minister of Transportation does not use a bicycle.

    On Day 6: Mario was in a cooking mood and he added

    fresh mushrooms and spinach to our pasta dinner. It tasted very good

    On Day 11: After the stay in Regina at the Luther college residence, we had plenty of en-ergy to burn. I know myself I had plenty to eat at the college cafeteria. I had three portions of everything for lunch and dinner. And felt so good after this.

    With an average of nine hours on the road, seven on the bikes,

    the two seldom had trouble get-ting to sleep at night.

    Often people were curious about the trip, and many times, advice and warnings were of-fered by strangers, who went out of their way to speak to the rid-ers.

    Day 9 blog: We were 25 km from Moose Jaw when a car stopped on the side of the road.

    The driver warned us about the tornado watch for Moose

    Jaw. He offered us a ride, we thank him and we went back riding. We barely rode above 17 km/hour ... But at that point we increased the speed (30 km/hr) and watched the sky for some-thing to happen.

    Other challenges included sometimes the heat, often the wind, enough tubes for Chris, sore butts, noisy birds outside tent at 4 a.m. and no Tim Hor-tons along the U.S. route
