DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com ** Editor's note: The content and language of this story may be disturbing to some readers. The allegations have not been proven in court. OPP officers did not endanger lives or influence a driver who recklessly tore through southern Renfrew county towns last year, ending abruptly in a collision that claimed an innocent life in Arnprior. That is among the findings in an extensive report by the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) examining the events that led to the death of 65-year-old Sheila Welsh on Sept. 25, 2017. The report paints a vivid and highly detailed account of that day, the driver's state of mind and route taken from Eganville to Arnprior, along with an analysis of OPP's conduct. At one point, according to the report, driver Za-
chary Wittke's stolen truck was going between 102- and 112-kilometres per hour on busy Daniel Street South. Soon after the truck fatally struck Welsh's car. However, when the truck was heading toward downtown on the wrong side of the road, the report says police cruisers stayed on the right side of the cement centre median (to not further endanger the public), tried a "rolling stop manoeuvre," laid a spike belt, then pulled back. The truck then blew through a red traffic light. The report, released Nov. 2, included Wittke's Facebook messages threatening to murder an ex-girlfriend's family. The following are excerpts from the report. "On the afternoon of Sept. 25, 2017, OPP officers were attempting to stop a stolen Ford F-150 pickup that was being operated in an erratic and dangerous manner from Eganville to Arnprior.

"On Sept. 25 sometime before 3 p.m., Wittke allegedly stole a Ford pickup that was parked in an unoccupied lot at the Eganville Community Arena. "At 3:15 p.m., the owner of the pickup truck contacted the OPP and reported his truck had been stolen. Even before the owner had reported the theft, numerous 911 calls began to come in from a number of concerned citizens reporting the driver of a pick-up truck driving erratically, at high rates of speed, in the wrong lane of traffic, cutting off drivers on the road, and in one case, sideswiping the entire passenger side of an SUV. "The first call reported the pickup, travelling toward Grist Mill Road in Eganville, was nearly involved in a head-on collision with a dump truck and an SUV. The driver of the Ford forced the SUV onto the sidewalk and gave everyone 'the finger'. "Several OPP officers re-

"At 3:33 p.m., a complainant called OPP to report a man driving in a Ford halfton truck 70-80 miles an hour the wrong way on Veterans Memorial Boulevard, pushing people off the road. Another caller reported a driver had passed her on the wrong side of the road travelling about 100 miles an hour in town and almost hit two high school stu-
dents. "By this time OPP officers had a good idea who was driving the truck and noted he had 'threatened suicide by police before.' "An OPP officer operating an unmarked police pick-up with no emergency equipment spotted the stolen truck travelling eastbound on Hwy. 17 at Lochwinnoch Road and alerted OPP officers. She followed the pick-up eastbound on Hwy. 17 and confirmed that the licence plate on the truck matched that of the vehicle reported stolen in Eganville.

"Three OPP officers travelling in three separate police vehicles, two marked police cruisers and one unmarked, took over following the truck. The OPP officers attempted to stop the driver by conducting a rolling block manoeuvre using their police vehicles and a spike belt was prepared for deployment, but they were unsuccessful. "The driver of the pickup truck exited Hwy. 17 at the White Lake Road exit into Arnprior and travelled northeast on Daniel Street See FIRST, page 4

FIRST-DEGREE MURDER TRIAL SET FOR DECEMBER 2019 Continued from page 3
South. At that time, the communications sergeant said: 'We're going to have to terminate then. Terminate, all units pull over will advise, ah ...' as one of the OPP officers radioed: 'He's just gone head-on into another vehicle,' and another reported: 'It's a collision, a collision.' "The pickup had struck the Welsh's motor vehicle at a high rate of speed at Edey Street, completely destroying her vehicle and trapping her inside. She sustained multiple injuries as a result of the collision and was pronounced dead at the scene. "She was removed from her vehicle by the Arnprior Fire Department and transported to the hospital morgue. "Wittke sustained a nasal fracture and a small collapsed lung on his left and right sides. "Later that afternoon OPP found out that there
were firearms, a .22 and a shotgun, under the back seat of the stolen pickup. "The actions of the three OPP officers travelling directly behind the pick-up truck at the time of the collision were the focus of the SIU investigation. The SIU dispatched six investigators, two forensic identification investigators and a collision reconstructionist to investigate this incident. "Time distance calculations indicated that the pick-up was travelling at an average speed between 102.7 km/h and 112.5 km/h, northbound on Daniel Street South from the Tim Hortons to slightly north of the Canadian Tire store. "On Sept. 29, SIU investigators were provided with screenshots of the electronic Facebook messages sent between Wittke and an unnamed party related to the incident. They include: • Wittke: "Do you know (his ex-girlfriend)? I know that you hate me but it would be helpful if you
could help me out." • Unnamed: "Yes I do, why?" • Wittke "Her mom threatened me. I'm just trying to figure out where they live." • Unnamed: "You already told me that but I think they moved, so I can't help you." • Wittke "How many kids do they have? Isn't it 3 or 4?" • Wittke: "Do you know (his ex-girlfriend)?" • Wittke: "Or her mom. It's going down 'cause that fat f **king pig threatened me and I'm the wrong person to f **king threatened because I'll murder that whole f **king family." • 2nd Unnamed: "No ideas. I feel like I've heard her name but never met her." • Wittke: "They threatened the wrong person because I'm going through one of moods and I really wanna do something f **king stupid. They have 3 or 4 kids and I'll kill 'em too." • 2nd Unnamed: "What did she say?" • Wittke: "She said some-
thing like "if you ever think of messaging my daughter again you'll be sorry. So I messaged her. I don't f **king care. I kill every one of her kids and make her watch. I'm not afraid of anybody, I'll just throw a cheeseburger to the cow and she'll get distracted." • 2nd Unnamed: "Maybe she doesn't want her daughter talking to someone who was in jail? I'm sorry it's the truth." • Wittke: "Yeah, but she threatened me, now it's personal." • Wittke: "It was while I was in jail and I was gunna let it go but I'm feeling' homicidal so I wanna have some fun with faggots around here. I don't really care who gets killed but I thought I'd target one family. I'm f **king tired of having no money. Once I get my phone I'm out of money again. I can't do this anymore. I don't want to be alive but I'm taking people with me. I'm not getting ahead and I've had enough.
People constantly lying to me finally pushed me over the edge." • 2nd Unnamed: "You haven't been out very long. Give it some time." • Wittke: "That's a bullshit thing that people say. It hasn't gotten better in 20 f **king years. I try to help people constantly & they can't find time out of their busy days to f **king hang out. And then when something happens they come out like 'we would've help if we would've helpped' well you woulda if you wouldn't have been a c**t. Thinking about killing people and myself everyday is f **king get to me and I have to act on it before it drives me f **king nuts. Sitting around the house 24/7 noy going anywhere I can't do it." • 2nd Unnamed: "Well it's true you haven't given anything a chance. Not everything comes on a silver platter & not everything comes at once." • Wittke: "I have been giv-
ing people changes and they keep lying to me." • 2nd Unnamed: "Then pick better people to talk to." • Wittke: "I've been trying. Everybody has a f **king excuse. I'm tired of it." Wittke is charged with first degree murder, in addition to initial charges of: dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death; flight while being pursued by police; driving while disqualified; and theft of a motor vehicle over $5,000. His trial is expected to take place the first week of December 2019. The full report is available at: https://www.ontario.ca/page/siu-directorsreport-case-17-pvd-276

JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com The attempted murder charges against a wellknown Arnprior-area man in mid-September have taken on an added seriousness. Renfrew OPP reported today (Nov. 1) that William 'Bill' Kirby faces 23 new Criminal Code charges relating to three more victims. He had been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping and criminal harassment related to the assault of a woman who was found badly injured in the bush near Gunsmith Road in McNab/Braeside Sept. 13. The OPP says that as a result of further information received regarding the ongoing investigation, the 72-year-old Kirby, who lives in Mississippi Mills just outside Arnprior, was charged with 23 new of-
William 'Bill' Kirby fences relating to four victims, the woman who was found injured in the woods and three others. The charges are not directly related to the Sept. 13 incident as they occurred at different times, OPP report. The charges include uttering threats (3 counts), sexual assault (2 counts),
pointing a firearm, criminal harassment (4 counts), possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose, assault (10 counts), unlawfully causing bodily harm and mischief. Kirby was issued a summons to appear in court in Renfrew Nov. 21. He continues to be out on bail, but with stringent restrictions. He was granted bail on Oct. 2 and was back in court in Renfrew Oct. 24 when he was ordered to appear again Nov. 21 to face the four original charges. The alleged first victim was released from hospital a few days after she was rescued. Kirby, who was found at the scene, was treated for minor injuries and a medical condition before he was arrested to face the charges. A publication ban has been made on all testimony entered in court regarding the case.

The break in was reported to Provincial Const. Derek Andrechek on Sunday, Nov. 4. The investigation is continuing.

aerospace and automotive industries. "It's sad news for the town, but especially for the employees," Mayor David Reid said. "Hopefully they will get work soon and we can get the plant filled." Reid said the company will be motivated to find a use for the large plant, and that interested parties often ask about facilities in town. "It happens more than you think," he said. "In the past, we didn't have anything to offer them. Now we'll work with the county to do what we can."

again on July 23. Abbas said another order was to replace the existing fire doors. However, the former doors were up to code but had been painted over. The former chief knew that, he said. Mississippi Mills Fire Chief Scott Granahan took over on Oct. 23. He won't address Abbas' claims. "There will be no comments made," Granahan said. The health unit did not respond to an interview request prior to print deadline. As for the boil water order, Abbas said the area is notorious for hard water that smells bad due to naturally occurring sulphur. The residence has always offered bottled water, he said, adding staff perform daily chlorine tests on the cooking and cleaning water, and about twice a month send samples away for laboratory testing. He faces the prospect of purchasing a $34,000 septic tank to eliminate the need for chlorine and is hoping for funding to defray the cost. "There is nothing wrong with the water right now," he said. Electrical issues are bound to be found in any building that, like his, is 50 years old, said Abbas, who is a realtor. But he called in electricians for Oct. 27 anyway. He agrees the perception is bad, but that 90 per cent of the work is done and the notices can't be removed until 100 per cent is done. "It's not like we are being neglectful. We are doing the best we can."
Derek Dunn/Metroland A retirement home in Pakenham that caters to low income seniors is struggling to stay afloat due to onerous regulations, says owner Ali Abbas. He has until Nov. 6 to fix any problems in a pumphouse on the property. There is little profit from the business; clients pay much less than the larger facilities. After purchase, he put $500,000 in renovations to the seniors' home. Abbas has even covered a portion of four residents so they could live there, he said. "I put a lot of money into the building and it's extremely expensive to do all this other stuff," said Abbas. "This has been very stressful financially and emotionally. My family is stressed. My wife is pregnant. "I hope the community understands. I feel really bad for the staff but we are not going anywhere." Abbas talked to the owner of a similar operation - small, independently owned - that closed recently in Braeside. The owner told him regulations killed the business, forcing low income residents out. "It's crazy how much regulation we have," Abbas said. "I'm told we are the cheapest in eastern Ontario. We can't afford all this. It means nothing to
the big guys. I hope that people understand that the small guys are suffering." The Champlain LHIN has several clients at the residence. It would not agree to an interview to reveal how long it has known about the situation and what it has done to find a solution. It issued the following statement, signed by CEO Chantale LeClerc: "Champlain LHIN funds LTC homes but not retirement homes. The Champlain LHIN provides home care services to some of the clients living in this retirement home. Our staff has been actively working with these clients to ensure their home care services continue when they relocate to new housing arrangements. "We understand that the clients we are serving have been able to make alternative housing arrangements. We are available to assist our clients with finding appropriate housing if needed." Clients are moving to other homes in the region, including Arnprior. Abbas said it is too expensive for taxpayers to be paying for seniors to stay in hospital when facilities such as his are available.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY:
For 35 years the Country View Lodge has been home to seniors in the Pakenham area. Small and independently owned, the residence is one of the few in the Ottawa valley catering to low income people. But with authorities from the fire department and health unit having their own mandate to follow, it is proving costly to the owner.

Sandvik, the steel and manufacturing company that employs about 160 workers in Arnprior, will close its doors next year. Located in the industrial park near the water tower, the company started in 1975 as Noranda. Employees were told of the shut down during a closed-door meeting on Oct. 30. Although there is some suggestion that a recent 20 per cent tariff on steel that U.S. President Donald Trump
levelled against Canada played a role, the company said it has considered consolidating operations for more than a year now. "As a company we must make certain that we have a production system that best serves our customers, is cost efficient and can be competitive well into the future," Michael Andersson, head of product area, wrote via a media release.

OPINION EDITORIAL
LEST WE FORGET Nov. 11, 2018 will be the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, or what contemporaries optimistically referred to as "la der des ders," meaning the last of last. So horrific were the gas bomb atrocities and trench warfare casualty lists, that the people who lived through it could scarcely imagine that two decades later their sons and daughters would see an even more destructive and painful war waged across virtually every continent.Critical civil and democratic rights were gained in Canada during the period between these wars. In 1918, women became eligible to vote in most provinces. The general strikes of 1919, borne out of the frustrations of rising inequality, resulted in increased union participation rates across the country, lifting wages and culminating in many of the benefits we now enjoy, such as employment insurance (1940). Many attribute these gains to the fact that the people who had lived through the hell of war wanted their sacrifices to mean something. So when despots rose in the 1930s, threatening world peace, they knew what they were fighting for, and they did what was necessary to preserve our freedom. Yet in 2018, many voters worldwide have chosen a different path. For a variety of reasons, voters in the U.S., Brazil and other western nations are choosing an eerily familiar path that resembles the sort of fascism that rose in the mid-20th century. As a result, the rights of groups such as people of colour and immigrants are at risk. We need look no further than the neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville in the summer of 2017, and the American president who defended them for a very literal example of how hate and intolerance are being condoned by leadership. It's not hard to the link this climate to terrorist violence, such as the recent Pittsburg synagogue shooting.We urge readers to consider for what the heroes we remember on Remembrance Day were fighting. Regardless of one's political beliefs, hopefully we can all agree that all people, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic background or sexual orientation, deserve to be treated equally and with respect. Our ancestors who served in wars aimed at preserving freedom would certainly want Canadians to be vigilant, and make sure what we are seeing in the U.S. never comes to our country. Lest we forget those who died for our rights and freedom. Lest we forget what they were fighting for.
Regardless of one's political beliefs, hopefully we can all agree that all people, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic background or sexual orientation, deserve to be treated equally and with respect.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY LEGIONS REQUEST SUPPORT FOR BELLS OF PEACE TO THE EDITOR:
An open letter to area churches: On Nov. 11, 1918, church bells rang out spontaneously across the country to celebrate the signing of the Armistice. After four brutal years, and so many young men and women dead or injured, the First World War was officially over. One hundred years ago, relief and joy swept our land. And as well, we will commemorate Armistice 100 on Nov. 11 this year; we will mark this occasion through this Royal Canadian Legion Bells of Peace ceremony. On Nov. 11 at 5:10 p.m. (sundown for Renfrew and Arnprior), I would ask that you toll your bell(s) 100 times with five seconds between tolls. With each peal, here in Renfrew and Arnprior and in communities across our country, we will remember the close to 66,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders at that time who were killed in the First World War, the 172,000 wounded, and the count-
less others who suffered invisible yet painful wounds. We will also remember the total number of Canadians who served our country during that war - over 650,000 people. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 148 Renfrew and 174 in Arnprior sincerely thank you for your participation in this celebration. Yours sincerely in comradeship,
REV. J. BRUCE FERGUSON SGT.-AT-ARMS, RCL BRANCH 148, RENFREW RICK PROBETTS SGT.-AT-ARMS, RCL BRANCH 174, ARNPRIOR
PAYING TRIBUTE TO WAR AMPS FOUNDERS TO THE EDITOR:
As Remembrance Day approaches, I would like to pay tribute to the amputee veterans who founded the War Amps, which marks its 100th anniversary this year. On returning from the First World War, they came together to help each other adapt to their new reality. They then welcomed the next generation of amputee veterans following the
Second World War, creating the Key Tag Service to provide them with meaningful work and a service to Canadians that continues today. Recently I joined a young child amputee named Tiffany in laying a rose at the grave of Curley Christian, the only quadruple amputee to survive the First World War. Tiffany benefits from the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, just as I did as a teenager following a train accident. We paid tribute to Curley both for his sacrifices at Vimy Ridge and for helping to start a program that has assisted us and amputees across the country. Though they considered themselves to be "ordinary guys," these war amputees served their country in wartime and continued to serve when they came home. I can say with pride that their legacy and sacrifices will be remembered through generations of amputees, like Tiffany and me, long into the future.

TO THE EDITOR: RE: 'TRANSPARENCY, COMMUNITY INPUT KEY IN GROVE REDEVELOPMENT,' OCT. 25 ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE.
This refers to the Oct. 25 letter to the editor from Barb Darlow and Eric Hanna stating Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) has communicated "throughout the entire process of redevelopment." I have been quoted out of context of the LPAT Conference Meeting of Oct. 11, at which I commented the town's presentation at the Public Meeting of April 9 (which lasted 12 minutes) was no mention of the construction of a second right-of-way over the aquifer-fed brook/marshland extending Norma Street North to connect with the second/extended nursing home property. In fact, the Municipal Submission Form dated May 29 (received by myself, the sole member of the public on July 10) describes the current ROW off of Ida Street North and a second ROW off of Norma Street North to join the to-be developed second property of the expanded Nursing Home. In addition, Bylaw 6814-18 does not mention the "adjacent lands" Vydon R3h property as is required under the Provincial
Tired of slow Internet?
Policy Statement and the Official Plan of the Town, only including an Environmental Impact Study on the "effects of the proposed development on health and longevity of 'The Grove.'" Eric Hanna states "all the environmental studies and other studies have been completed. No problems were found." Where are these studies and what "other studies" is Mr. Hanna referring to? If I recall correctly, lawyer for ARH Mr. Meeds stated at the Oct. 11 conference meeting, "Environmental Impact Studies were being prepared at that time." Has an EIS been completed that includes the proposed Nursing Home expansion with its Norma Street North right-ofway and potential R3h housing/apartment Vydon development and the impacts on Gillies Grove and surrounding properties? Many questions remain unanswered. A long history of inputs from MNR, consultants and expert witnesses both for Gillies Grove and the aquifer-fed brook/marshland, a vital ecological link to the Grove are being overlooked in the rush to "move ahead." The PPS and the OP place onus and responsibility on government (including Ministry of Health) to make decisions that reduce, not accelerate, global warming. To state there is no negative impact on nesting birds in the Grove while cutting down canopied hardwoods in the "heart " of the nesting area is non-conforming to the PPS and OP.

As a long term resident of Arnprior I read your Oct. 25 article with interest. The letter ('Transparency, community input key in Grove redevelopment) from Arnprior Regional Health CEO and chair Barb Darlow identifies Margaret Gillies as a donor of land. I hope to present a few facts for you here.Jesse Gillies was the donor of the 2 parcels of land in the Grove. Her late husband Dave had a vision for the Grove as a retirement village for ministers of the United Church. Through the tireless efforts of CEO Norm Frieday the whole community got behind the project to construct a nursing home. Gerry Green was very instrumental in obtaining funding, and when the facility open about 40+ years ago, it had no debt. M. Sullivan & Son were the contractors and Ian McMaster represented the builders on the "design/build" project.The new building will be the culmination of the work of thousands of citizens and the co-operation of the Ontario Government and regional governments. This is the kind of community project that endears us to life in a small town.

NUCLEAR WASTE DISPOSAL PLAN CAN'T BE GOOD NEWS TO THE EDITOR:
Guide Oct. 18 Letter to the Editor by Pat Quinn representing Canadian Nuclear Laboratories regarding the near surface disposal facility slated for Chalk River, Ont. Defending the nuclear waste disposal plan site plan, surely this can't be good news for us. Radioactive waste has been in temporary storage at Chalk River since the mid-1950s and now this detailed proposal is to bury it in a huge mound similar to a city garbage dump. The near surface disposal facility would operate from 2020 until about 2070. It would be a heap 18 metres high, covering 16 hectares and designed to last 500 years. It would contain up to one million cubic metres, mostly low-level but some medium-level waste. You know, the glow-in-the-dark-type stuff. For Quinn to say "trust us," it's no secret that the Chalk River facility is one of the oldest nuclear works in the world (1949) and had the world's first recorded accident in the early 1950s. Its maintenance record is known not to be the most stellar. Quinn also said not to worry, the Canadian Government will provide safety oversight. These are the people who brought us the disastrous marijuana roll out, gun control and the Sea King replacement program. Another important issue Quinn failed to mention was transportation. You see, this facility will be used by other nuclear facilities for their waste. Valley residents know Highway 17 between Arnprior and Chalk River is the worst in the province with a major accident, sometimes resulting in death, almost every two weeks. Just what we want - 30 tons of nuclear waste in our front yard. NIMBY, please.

OPINION

TO THE EDITOR:
We strongly counter Canadian Nuclear Laboratories' erroneous claims in "CNL responds to Ottawa Valley coalition claims" on Oct. 15. 1. " ... the NSDF is designed to protect the environment, not to harm it." The "near surface disposal facility" (NSDF) that CNL proposes will be a massive mound that will stand seven stories high, cover an area the size of 70 NHL hockey rinks, contain one million cubic metres of "low-level" radioactive waste and be only one kilometre from the Ottawa River. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safety standard, disposal of radioactive waste, states that a near surface facility consists of "engineered trenches or vaults constructed on the ground surface or up to a few tens of metres below ground level." Such a facility should "isolate the waste from the accessible biosphere" and reduce the likelihood of "inadvertent human intrusion into the waste." The CNL plan will do neither. We call on the Government of Canada to conduct a proper siting process for a facility that conforms to the IAEA safety standard and is not located near a major body of water. 2. "These facilities are recognized internationally as a safe and appro-
priate way to dispose of low-level waste and are being used successfully in Canada and the United States." There are no radioactive waste disposal facilities in Canada or in the U.S. that match this description and that are located near large bodies of water. 3. "The facility will contain 10 cells each of which will be filled with lowlevel radioactive waste made up of clothing, contaminated building debris, and contaminated soils." Some very long-lived radionuclides such as plutonium and uranium are included in what CNL considers "low-level" waste which will endure thousands of years longer than this mound. "Clothing, contaminated building debris and contaminated soil" conveys an incorrect impression since some of these materials are very radioactively contaminated. 4. "Water contact will be minimized throughout the entire process, and any precipitation that does contact the waste will be collected and treated to remove contaminants through a dedicated water treatment plan." CNL proposes placing a final cap over the entire mound after 50 years when all the cells are full. In the meantime, despite some temporary covers, portions of the mound will be
exposed to the elements. Water will infiltrate and mix with the radioactive waste contained within. Treatment of collected water will not remove tritium. Tritium levels will increase dramatically in the Ottawa River. 5. "The NSDF will also be under institutional control for over 300 years. CNL will regularly monitor the facility." It is unlikely that CNL will be in existence for 300 years. The supervision of the site will revert to the Canadian Government and the Canadian taxpayer will bear the responsibility/liability. View Radio Canada's Découverte (https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=l31hrbRBUrA) to obtain evidence-based information. French nuclear physicist David Boiley states that 1. radioactive waste should never be exposed to the elements and 2. radioactive waste should never be disposed of near bodies of water.

HEDLEY BRITTLE PRINTS RETIREMENT PLANS AS EACH DAY ARRIVES DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com Hedley Brittle spent almost every birthday at the shop. Such is the life of a small-business owner: crazy hours; never enough time to catch up; managing chaos - maybe stealing a moment here and there to imagine life in retirement. His birthday was a few days ago. They decided that morning to head to the hunt camp - he and Angela, wife and co-worker for almost 30 years - to build a tree stand. Another little project they could do together. A few others around the house and yard to get to as well; they'll decide as the day arrives. "We're enjoying the simple life," Hedley said, sitting next to his wood-stove, surrounded by many books and pamphlets he's created over the years. "I'm proud of what I've done. I've no regrets." Running H. Brittle Printing since 1977 was the opposite of the simple life. On top of juggling the usual balls of business - payroll, taxes, all the rest - Hedley would hear the friendly bell tinkle above the door and know that another customer has arrived, some bearing little more than a vague idea in their mind's eye, but wanting a flawless product in the end. "What makes Hedley different," Angela says, gazing at him from her spot on the couch, "is that he knows the art of the printing trade from the ground up. Other people in the industry call from all over because he knows how to do things they don't."
"Elections weren't the friendly things they are today, no way," said the peacekeeper. "No - but one thing is that I never once had a person go up one side of me and down the other. Not one." He admits to being abrupt with customers; Angela was the friendly one. Hedley wanted the instructions in short order so he could get to the back - the balls were not juggling themselves. Leaving aside all the skills and knowledge related to his trade, many know of another Hedley. Yes, there's the outdoorsman. And today he and Angela are picking up their daughter Vicki's love of music and guitars. But he is best known around Sand Point Golf Course for his mastery of the sport. Club champion at the junior then men's level, Hedley's instinct to perfection is also well expressed on the golf course. The talent for sports was passed on to his son Alex, who won at the provincial level in football, and is now employing his scientific inclination to ecology. For Hedley, golfing professionally is perhaps the life that might have been. At 16, he had the chance to move to Arizona to be groomed for the majors. He waited all summer long for the letter that was promised, but never arrived. Or, rather, it did arrive but his father Henry - who founded the business and was a product of a rigid British class system that said sons should follow fathers - took back his initial approval. "He burned it," Hedley said, with zero bitterness in his voice.
Derek Dunn/Metroland Angela and Hedley Brittle, former owners of H. Brittle Printing in Arnprior, are surrounded by a few of the many items they've printed over the years, and enjoy taking retirement one day at a time. "It would bother me if I didn't have such a good life. I never would have met Ang. Great kids. Roof over my head. It's been real-
ly good." No one, it could be argued, is better positioned for retirement than the golf pro that never was.

From chemistry to cameras and computers, big complex machines to small details of grammar, Hedley has mastered much over the last few decades of the technological revolution. And he doesn't mind sharing that knowledge. In fact, Hedley can and does talk for hours on end about his craft. Essentially, he talks with endless passion about the wonders the human spirit brings to life. Hence the stint as a teacher at Algonquin College, and his commitment to showing employees (up to nine at once at one stage) every aspect of the business. Because in the end, the material objects he worked with and created - the printers that produced everything from Moskos' menus to newspapers, to Bernie Bedore's original Tall Tales of Joe Mufferaw, to his favourite: The Arnprior Story, by Leo Lavoie are about people. Usually local people and how they lived. Hedley is a wealth of history few can match. While delivering finished products, he would work his way into every factory in town; curious to know how their machines worked, while gaining insight to the lives of the men and women inside. He has the behind-the-scenes stories on developments big and small. Some risqué, some just plain hilarious. A small example was during a municipal election when he was printing material for candidates. One had to be kept busy as another came through the door. The competition was beyond healthy.

The armistice of November 11, 1918, brought relief to the whole world. Never before had there been such a conflict. For a nation of eight million people Canada’s war effort was remarkable. More than 650,000 men and women from Canada and Newfoundland served — over 66,000 gave their lives and more than 172,000 were wounded. It was this immense sacrifice that lead to Canada’s separate signature on the Peace Treaty. No longer viewed as just a colony of England, Canada had truly achieved nation status. This nationhood was purchased by the gallant men who stood fast at Ypres, stormed Regina Trench, climbed the heights of Vimy Ridge, captured Passchendaele, and entered Mons on November 11, 1918.

A fire late Saturday afternoon near Arnprior was burning to the roof when firefighters arrived. However, thanks to a working smoke detector, a man sleeping on a couch at the Russett Drive residence near the Village Creek
neighbourhood was alerted in time to escape. "It was a working smoke detector that woke him up," said Dave Hartwick, fire chief at McNab/Braeside fire department. "He tried to put out the flames but had to run and call 911." There was little firefighters could do by the time they arrived. Although the well-trained
group "performed perfectly," according to Hartwick, little could be done. "It is a total loss," he said. The lone occupant was treated for minor injuries. No one else was hurt. A cause has yet to be established. According to a gofundme.com page the owner, Steve Cloutier, lost everything. It was his nephew who escaped the smoke and flames. The goal is $5,000 for the two men.

JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com The success of Renfrew's Mackay Manor in treating men with addictions has prompted a campaign to open a similar facility for women in Renfrew County. The opportune availability of a suitable location in Pembroke - the 9,000-squarefoot, 14-bedroom former Deacon House - has jumpstarted the push for approvals and fundraising to turn the dream of a women's residential addiction treatment centre into a reality by 2020. Mackay Manor's outgoing executive director Tom Carroll is appealing for public and business support for the effort that he says is long overdue. "There's a huge gap (in service)," he said. "With the #MeToo movement, there's not a better time to do this." For too long, Renfrew
County women with addiction challenges have had to go to Ottawa, North Bay or Toronto for treatment, he said. That tends to deter them from seeking help, especially women with children. Area women would be much more likely to seek help if a new women's addiction facility proposed for Deacon House in Pembroke is available, Carroll said. A partnership with Family and Children's Services will help ease client fears that asking for help will result in having their children taken away, he added. The residential recovery centre will work hand-inhand with pre- and post-recovery programs to be offered at nearby Irving House Carroll estimates about $3 million is needed to properly launch the centre about $1 million in renovations for Deacon House and
of Renfrew County to demand that the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care fund a women's residential addiction program." For the first time, the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is not supporting the project, "so we decided to get the taxpayers to demand the funding," said Carroll. The petition, which has been spreading awareness about the project, has had a "good response," well on the way to the goal of 50,000 signatures. "We feel there is a real groundswell of support. Everyone we talk to has a family member or friend who needs the service," Carroll said. He urges residents to sign the petition if they see Mackay Manor staff collecting signatures in front of local stores. They may also go door-to-door. As well, all donations are gratefully accepted. Call Mackay Manor at 613-4324946 to help or find out more. "It's an exciting time for us," said Carroll who relinquished his position at Mackay Manor to Liana Sullivan Oct. 1. Despite his retirement, he's dedicating three days a week to the women's treatment centre project. "It will be my parting gift to Renfrew County," he said.

It’s been some time since I’ve written a column for you, the good people of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. In fact, this is my first column since the election of June 7. And I apologize for taking so long. Let me start by thanking you for once again supporting my candidacy for re-election in such a tremendous fashion. It was humbling and exhilarating at the same time. To be given the mandate to represent you once again for the fifth time is a responsibility I accept with the deepest gratitude. I was honoured in another way when Premier Doug Ford offered me the transportation portfolio in his new cabinet. After having spent 15 years in opposition, to finally go into government and also become a member of the executive council is something I’m still getting used to. Taking on the additional responsibility of a cabinet post has certainly increased my workload but I must say it is an increase that I am more than happy to bear. As with any new job, it’s overwhelming at first but through time the new demands on your time become normalized. One of the things I do find challenging when it comes to the issue of time is that I’m getting to spend less of it at home in the riding. I am grateful to the tremendous staff I have in the constituency office where it’s left to them to manage the issues on a daily basis. Since being elected we have been a very active government. One of our first items of business was to end the strike at York University so that students could get back to class. We cancelled 758 contracts for renewable energy that the province didn’t need, saving the taxpayers $790-million. We passed legislation cancelling the punitive, ineffective cap-and-trade legislation that took money out of the people’s pockets but did nothing to reduce CO2 emissions. We’ve introduced legislation called the Making Ontario Open for Business Act that will, if passed, allow the job creators in our province to do what they do best by reducing the red tape and regulatory burden that stifles economic activity. By reversing legislation that was punitive on business and costing workers their jobs, we’ve sent a clear signal that Ontario is open for business once again. There’s a lot of work to be done and it won’t be easy, but your new government is up to the task.

As a son of a Second World War veteran, let me also talk about something that has always been important to me. On November 11, we will take time to commemorate Remembrance Day in a very special way. It will be 100 years since the armistice was signed, putting an end to the First World War. At the time, it was called ‘The Great War,’ and by others the ‘war to end all wars.’ We know now a century later that peace still eludes us. But we also recognize that the price of peace is eternal vigilance. While the debt owed to our bravest and best is one that we can never repay, to the 117,000 Canadians who paid the ultimate sacrifice our undying gratitude is the least we can extend. And to all those who returned, many of them who have left us, but also those with us today – we should never miss an opportunity to thank them for their service to our country and their willingness to put themselves in harm’s way, to defend the democracy and freedoms that we enjoy today. It is easy to take them for granted but that is something we shouldn’t do. I hope that each and every one of us can take the time to attend a Remembrance Day service in our communities. And if that’s not possible, have that moment of silence letting them all know, past and present, that they are not forgotten. Find your moment of silence at a Remembrance Day ceremony in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. Learn more at ontario.ca/RemembranceDay

$1 million each for the treatment and recovery programs. However, it will be money well spent, he said, noting "research shows that every dollar spent on addiction saves $5.90 down the road." Interventions pay dividends, he added. "It's a choice: pay now or pay later." Mackay Manor has treated close to 4,000 men from Renfrew County and beyond since 1975. A proposal to make it coed was judged to have too many supervision problems and a complementary women's centre, while talked about for 30 years, has yet to come to fruition. As well as seeking financial backing from the provincial government, proponents of the women's treatment centre will be approaching all businesses and service clubs in the county for support, whether it be for cash donations or materials and labour to help renovate Deacon House. "We want to show the province we're doing our part," said Carroll. "We're not looking for the province to put up the full amount." In preparation of the campaign, Mackay Manor officials, with help from Bernadette McCann House, are circulating a petition "seeking support from the people

CALLS OF ANIMALS TELL DIFFERENT STORIES TRACKING BIRD CALLS CAN LEAD TO ADVENTURES: MICHAEL RUNTZ MICHAEL RUNTZ Column
When at a very early age I started watching birds, I'd track down every sound to learn the identity of its maker. This process allowed me to learn the songs and calls of every local bird. I also learned that songs and calls were very different things. Songs are complex, multi-syllabic sounds, usually musical, that serve to attract mates and announce territory ownership. Calls are only one or two syllables and have a variety of functions. Nestling birds give begging calls when they are hungry. They utter loud mating calls to attract a partner. Birds give alarm calls in times of danger. Some are soft and highpitched, making it difficult to locate the caller,
and warn other birds to hide. Other alarm calls are low frequency and loud, allowing their producer to be easily located. The loud, name-giving alarm calls of the killdeer help lead predators away from their nests. Some locatable calls bring other birds to the caller's location. When a black-capped chickadee comes across a small owl, its alarm calls recruit more chickadees (and other small birds). The ensuing mob harasses the owl so ruthlessly it sometimes vacates the area. Recently I heard the alarm calls of two very different animals, each leading me to two very different and exciting situations. It was during a bird walk that I was leading through the Fletcher Wildlife Area across the Rideau Canal from Carleton University when a loud, shrill "beck, beck, beck" arose from the edge of a pine woods. I recognized the sounds as alarm calls of a Cooper's hawk, calls I'd only heard previously when approaching a hawk's nest. I suspected the bird had found some-
thing it didn't like, and when we finally spotted the hawk (a juvenile), not far away sat a barred owl! As we approached, the hawk continued its verbal abuse but eventually flew away. After enjoying a close view of the owl, which was undoubtedly quite happy to be freed of its abuser, we started back to campus. Minutes later we heard loud screams arising from a thicket across a small meadow. The screams sounded like those made by a porcupine, but this area is not a typical porcupine habitat and the sounds were slightly different. When we reached the thicket, to our surprise we found two animals violently rolling around on the ground. One was an eastern cottontail rabbit and the other was a small, black animal, which eventually we could make out to be a mink! The two were moving so quickly it was hard to see exactly what was happening but the small, black weasel appeared to be holding the rabbit by its leg. The screaming rabbit

The dense shrubs made it impossible to take photographs, and before I could squeeze my way into the thicket, the pair separated and ran off in different directions. Tracking down animal alarm calls can certainly lead to exciting scenarios! The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

on Nov. 19. Several doctors offices and local pharmacies are also supplying the free flu shot. The health unit maintains getting a flu shot is the "best way to protect yourself and the people around you from getting the flu." The flu shot also lowers the risk of serious complications such as pneumonia, it adds. The flu shot is free to all Ontario residents over six months of age. For more information on the clinics and immunizations in general, visit www.rcdhu.com.
Community Living employees in Renfrew and Arnprior have expressed their displeasure at being "grossly undervalued" by the government by giving their bargaining team a "strong strike mandate." The 87 full- and parttime developmental services workers, members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) Local 472, have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a strike if need be. While bargaining has been going on for only nine days, the employer has not offered any wage increase, said OPSEU staff representative Nelson Ross La-
guna. Yet other Community Living workers across the province have ratified agreements giving them wage and benefit increases, he said. The union has filed for conciliation, armed with the strike vote in its "fight for a decent wage offer." The contract offered by the employer, Community Living Renfrew County South, would drop the Arnprior and Renfrew workers even further behind the rest of the province, Laguna said. "They are being horribly paid and undervalued by the ministry." "They do valuable
work," he added. "It's a tough job." OPSEU Local 472 president Shannon Waddell says the employer is ignoring a historic wrong. "For years, our members' pay was frozen, causing them to fall behind developmental services workers in other parts of Ontario. That can't continue. It's just not right." OPSEU president Warren 'Smokey' Thomas said the strike vote sends a clear message to their employer. "Our members haven't been given an exemption from inflation, the cost of living hasn't stood still for them," he
said. "If this employer or anyone else thinks that they have a free ticket to shortchange our members because Doug Ford is talking about cutting deficits they have another thing coming." OPSEU Local 472 represents workers who provide residential services, community support and respite to people with developmental disabilities. The collective agreement for the 87 full- and part-time workers in Arnprior-Renfrew expired March 31. It was the workers first contract, so this is their first renewal.
