Sandvik workers named most active in Canada SHERRY HAAIMA Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
It was a Global Corporate Challenge, but a number of Sandvik employees found benefits right in their backyard after participating in the contest that invited companies from around the world on a 16-week virtual walking journey around the globe. Sandvik Materials Technology placed first in its category with seven teams of seven signing up in May and stepping their way to global recognition and better health. “Sandvik has been recognized as being the Most Active Company in Canada and placed as the 11th most active globally in our category,” said Sandvik’s Sue McLaren at a luncheon held to celebrate the wrap-up of the challenge. One employee, in particular, explained McLaren, went above and beyond the
challenge and marked an impressive personal success. “His is a great story,” says McLean. “He is just a true inspiration.” Brian Dunbar walked more than 2,000 kilometres and lost 38 pounds. Dunbar and his wife were both trying to get healthier and lose some weight so the global challenge came at a perfect time. “When I started out I was doing a lot of walking at work and then I started walking a lot at home, too,” said Dunbar, a Foresters Falls resident. “I went from a size 48 to a 38 and I feel a lot better,” he said. General manager Mike Hall said he was impressed with the enthusiasm and effort put forth by the 46 workers who participated. They seized the opportunity. See ‘SANDVIK’ Page 2

ANOTHER YARD CLOSER The ADHS senior football team is hoping for another deep playoff run. The memory of last year’s provincial title win is not far from the boys’ minds. But first it was St. John from Perth, in this Wednesday game, that quarterback Nathan Andrews and his teammates had to fight through. See how it went on page 11.
Couple plays central role in Remembrance Day ceremony DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
For the first time, a husband and wife team will assume the duties of Reviewing Officer and Silver Cross Mother during tomorrow’s Remembrance Day ceremony. Art and Noreen Charbonneau were surprised to be asked; Art is less active at Legion branch 174 than other members, and Noreen didn’t have a child die in war. Both, however, expressed deep emotion and gratitude for the opportunity.
“It was quite an honour to be chosen,” said Art, whose name is attached to the public school A.J. Charbonneau on Baskin Drive. As he salutes the veterans parading past him, the 89-year-old former Kenwood employee and long-time school board trustee will recall his life 70 years ago. He will think of his experiences landing on the beaches of Normandy as an engine repairman just a few steps back of the charge through France, Belgium, and Holland. He will remember fallen comrades and friends. He will recall the bad times: passing bodies yet to be buried along roadsides, towns reduced to rubble. And he will recall
the good times: the Danish family that billeted him and stayed in touch for decades; the whirlwind of getting married just weeks before heading overseas. “It was quite the adventure,” he said. “It made me a stronger person.” The life-long Arnprior native didn’t talk much about his involvement in the Second World War after discharge, not to his four children or anyone else. And yet there were years when Nov. 11 rolled around and he joined colleagues in taking the morning off work to travel to Ottawa. See ‘I HOPE’ Page 2

‘I hope there’s never another war’ The morning often turned into the afternoon at a Legion branch where a few drinks and the battle stories would come out. But for the most part he kept the memories at bay. “What I’d seen of it... I hope there’s never another war,” he said. “I feel bad for the soldiers going over to Afghanistan and the ones that died. One died last week. And it’ll never really get solved. I never really talked about it, though.” Not long after joining the Canadian Tank Troops Workshop in May 1943, Art married a farm girl from White Lake.

“You have been part of getting the world moving. I was just amazed by your enthusiasm and energy. You should congratulate yourselves,” Hall told employees. As a result of the challenge, a number of employees became interested in obtaining gym memberships and Hall said he’d look into whether the company could help offset the costs of membership. “All in all, I think the program itself is a great success,” said Hall. Sandvik challenge participants walked a total distance of 53,630 kilometres and had a daily step average of 15,970.
Sandvik’s most active team was the Pavement Pounders with total steps of 14,091,734. Around the world, 130,000 people from hundreds of companies participated in the challenge. A photo contest was also held in conjunction with the challenge. Andrew Dick won first place in the family category and Jennifer Render had the first-place action shot.

Murder conviction upheld Life sentence remains for killing former Arnprior resident STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
Annual General Meeting
However, one more related trial remains. Shane and Matthew Ward’s friend, Bradley Martin, who was also in the house the night of the attacks on Love, is charged with accessory to murder. He’s scheduled to go to trial in Januar 2012 before Halifax Supreme Court.

The life sentence for convicted killer Shane Ward was upheld recently by the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal. Former Arnprior resident Phillip Love died in 2007 from repeated blows to the head from a baseball bat wielded by Ward, following a dispute at a Dartmouth, N.S., birthday party that escalated into violence. Love was the only child of Renfrew resident Susan Love. Love has spoken to The Chronicle-Guide about the case before, but said she wished to make no comment at this time. In the 2010 Nova Scotia Supreme Court decision by Judge Felix Cacchione, Ward of Halifax was convicted of second-degree murder and received a life sentence (of 25 years) with no eligibility for parole for 16 years. However, Ward’s appeal of the decision was heard April 7, 2011. Five months later, the judgment by Justices Jamie Saunders, Duncan Beveridge and David Farrar dismissed the appeal against conviction, but reduced the period of parole ineligibility to 13½ years. Senior crown counsel Jim Gumpert was pleased with the decision rendered in the 29-page judgment. “It was a wonderful summary of the senselessness of this horrible murder,” said Gumpert, referring to Justice Saunders’ following summation: “Phillip Love died in hospital from injuries suffered during a fight among friends at his home. His skull was crushed by repeated blows from an aluminum baseball bat. “The bludgeoning occurred during an argument over some perceived slight, which then escalated into a full blown assault − fuelled by stupidity, testosterone and alcohol − a dangerous mix.” Ward had advanced his appeal on five grounds. One major claim by the appellant was the trial judge erred in admitting the contents of a Jan. 8, 2007 telephone conversation in which Matthew Ward said: “Shane’s killed Phil. You got to get in here.” As it turns out, Love died a few days later in hospital, after he was taken off life support and his organs, including his heart, were donated. Two other major claims were: 1) the trial judge failed to instruct the jury on provocation, and 2) the verdict was unreasonable. On all three counts, the Court of Ap-
peal dismissed the claims. Responding to the claim that the verdict was unreasonable, the judges noted the victim suffered blunt force trauma with a strong degree of force. According to witness Dr. Bowes, Love was struck eight to 14 times with the bat. The judges also noted testimony said the appellant came down stairs carrying the baseball bat to say it was over, it was done. Later, blood on the bat was identified as the victim’s DNA. Other testimony included that of Paul Bourgeois, who says the appellant told him he hit the victim with a beer bottle and with another object. On the issue of provocation, the court ruled self-defence was not applicable in Ward’s case. The ruling notes the Criminal Code says “murder may be reduced to manslaughter if the person who committed it did so in the heat of passion caused by sudden provocation.” Testimony, the court noted, shows the appellant remained outside the house having a conversation for five to 10 minutes after he had initially struck Love with a beer bottle. Testimony says he later returned inside the house, along with his friends, with items that included a fire poker and the bat. Shane Ward “was agitated, but he didn’t act,” said Gumpert. “He was mad that he had his eye gouged, and smashed Phillip with a beer bottle, but that didn’t kill him.” At the hearing, Gumpert argued that Ward didn’t act on provocation, but on revenge.

REDUCED PAROLE INELIGIBILITY Only on the claim that the sentence ought to be changed did the court of appeal modify the original decision. The ineligibility period for parole was reduced from 16 to 13½ years. Justice Saunders referred to the Ward’s “culpability in such a senseless and vicious assault; and a recognition that in his case the prospects for parole should not be so distant as to dash all hope for rehabilitation … In all other respects, I would dismiss the appeal.” Alfred Seaman lead the defence counsel, which said it had no comment on the decision, other than to say the decision would not be appealed.

United Way, CPAN host Festival of Trees
Renfrew County United Way and the Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network have expanded their partnership to stamp out child poverty in Renfrew County. As part of this effort, RCUW and CPAN are pleased to announce the re-birth of Festival of Trees – a popular pre-Christmas family event that was held in Pembroke in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The event will take place Nov. 18-20 in the Fieldhouse at Dundonald Hall, Canadian Forces Base Petawawa. All proceeds will be directed towards the fight against child poverty in Renfrew County.

New Flyer Industries helps raise $700 for Renfrew County United Way SHERRY HAAIMA
Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
What’s seven tons, 40-feet long and recently helped raise much-needed funds for Renfrew County United Way? Well, it’s a New Flyer Industries bus at the company’s Arnprior service centre and local teams gathered at the plant Oct. 31 for a bus pull fundraiser that organizers hope will become an annual event. New Flyer administrative assistant Shannon Laughlan said she had a great time organizing the fun event. “Some of the teams had so much fun they pulled the bus a second time,” said Laughlan. “It was very successful. We hope to do it next year and include more community teams.” Teams were charged with pulling the bus 60 feet and the team with the fastest time was crowed the winner. Instead of an entry fee, donations were accepted and participants were treated to a barbecue and treats at the noon event. About $700 was raised for the United Way. TOMLINSON FIRST Six teams answered the call with Tomlinson picking up first place honours. Second was Cavanagh’s, third was New Flyer Industries’ Prior Flyers, fourth was the First Responders (OPP, fire, paramedics), fifth was the Arnprior District High School senior football team and sixth was the Ackland’s Grainger team.

New entrance welcomes visitors to Gillies Grove derek.dunn@metroland.com
After an impressive 400 to 500 volunteer hours by at least 10 talented folks in town the result is: a beautiful new fence, gate and kiosk at the Ottawa Street entrance to the Gillies Grove. Members of the Land Preservation Society of the Ottawa Valley (LPSOV), resurrected last fall after the grove was saved from possible development in the 1990s, got together to decide on fashioning the new entrance. “We wanted to do something to generate excitement about the Grove. I’m extremely happy with how it turned out,” said president Brad Moore. “I think it’s beautiful. We achieved our mission.” No longer is it a matter of walking into a forest. Users will know they are entering an historic 57acre property, one of Eastern Canada’s only old-growth forests of white pines that people in Arnprior and area worked hard to save. The LPSOV mission is to enhance the aesthetic, educational and conservational possibilities of the grove. The kiosk information board touches on all those topics, specifically noting important plant and tree species, safety concerns such as poison ivy (of which there is much in the grove) and more. Artist Tara Pocket produced a painting of the original idea, similar to what once framed the entrance. She also put together the text for the board. Andre Pilon and his son Philippe put many hours of care and hard work into the woodwork. “It was wonderful father and son time,” Andre said. The $20,000 cost was paid for from an existing LPSOV account.
Moore assures users the gate will always remain open and doesn’t change the non-motorized status of the grove: cyclists, cross country skiers and others are still welcome. MEMBERS’ MEETING Everyone is welcome to join the LPSOV, too, Moore said, or at least attend the annual general meeting slated for Dec. 11, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Galilee Centre. (The date offered in the Nov. 3 letter to the editor has since been changed.) The group will publicize its financial situation, view a slideshow presentation by Brenda Van Sleeuwen of the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), possibly another guest speaker and brainstorm on future projects. Future plans may include building a new Division Street entrance, but depending on suggestions money could go to other areas. It is Moore’s opinion and that of most on the 10-member board, that the NCC is responsible for general maintenance costs. That is because the NCC can access funds from governments and corporations. The LPSOV, of course, will support NCC in obtaining money. But the group plans to fundraise and put its money toward projects similar to the Ottawa Street entrance. Moore and the board are keen to hear what others have to say. “We are looking to the townspeople to provide more ideas,” he said. “We would really like to see some people come out.” He added that Gillies Grove has been the focus of a lot of negative attention over the last five years or more, but that it appears a page has been turned.
The Land Preservation Society of the Ottawa Valley, an Arnprior volunteer group working to better Gillies Grove, recently completed the fencing and kiosk at the Ottawa Street entrance. Among those involved are Brad Moore, Gerry White, Brian Patt, Dave Stein, Tara Pocket, and Andre and Philippe Pilion. Photo by James Jack

Dustin Anderson wins prestigious award SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com
Dustin Anderson, son of Arnprior Coun. Lyle Anderson, is the winner of this year’s Governor General’s Gold Medal Award at the doctoral level. Dustin, a University of Calgary neuroscience grad, was central to the team discovering a link between two separate classes of ion channels that would normally be expected to work against one another, in terms of modifying electrical excitability. Lyle was just thrilled to learn of his son’s distinction, which he says is incredibly well-deserved. “I’m so proud of him,�
said Lyle, adding the award is one of the most prestigious awards that a student in a Canadian educational institution can receive. Dustin said he was quite surprised to learn he had won. “I was in shock when I found out that I won the award. I still am,� Dustin told the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide. He credited his family for their support over the years. “My dad has always been really proud of me and is really good at letting me know that. He instilled in me the importance of hard work,� he said. It was this work ethic that resulted in the governor general’s award.
“I honestly believe that I won this award because I worked my butt off,� said Dustin. He is currently in the MD portion of his PhD/MD program and will go on to do residency in a year-and-ahalf, likely in internal medicine. In addition to providing scientists with a more accurate picture of electrical regulation in neurons of the cerebellum, the groundbreaking research in which Dustin is involved, redefines how scientists view the control of neurons that express these ion channels throughout the brain. In the future, says a press release, this could lead to advances in drug therapies for

The lengthy discussion at a meeting of the county’s finance and administration committee in the spring asked such questions as: Was the county’s budget too high? And could the county be drawing more funds from reserves to further reduce the county’s tax rate? At the same meeting, staff was directed to bring forward a discussion paper on surplus-deficit policy, along with recommendations. With those recommendations brought forward for approval at Renfrew County council Oct. 26, discussion was again lengthy. Conclusions of the staff ’s review included the preference to adopt an early budget, before Jan. 31, if not earlier. FOURTH RECOMMENDATION CHALLENGED Four recommendations were made, but some county councillors, including Janice Visneskie of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards and Raye-Anne Briscoe of Admaston-Bromley, indicated they would not support the recommendation pack-

In addition, our reserve levels are substantially lower than the median and the average of the southern upper-tier municipalities … according to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.” The discussion paper also concluded that the historical level of the Renfrew County surplus (one per cent) is reasonable, given the size of the municipality. “The fact that we experience only a one per cent deviation from our expected year-end position,” said the review report, “is a reflection of the commitment that the management team has made to budget adherence.” Finance committee chair Briscoe told The Chronicle-Guide another “overriding concern” is the need to “write in” the county’s responsibility to share provincial uploading savings with the county’s 17 lower-tier municipalities. “They have to share in any benefits accrued from uploading from the province

age unless the final recommendation was altered. The fourth recommendation recommended early passage of the annual budget, as early as pre-Dec. 31. But Visneskie asked that the fourth recommendation also say that an early budget be pursued with available forecasted actuals from each department for the previous year. County councillors were very amenable to the suggestion, but recommendations will be fine-tuned at November’s finance and administration committee. The recommendations are now expected to be brought forward for county approval on Nov. 30. The review’s first three recommendations were: 1. Develop a capital asset management plan for all significant assets owned and maintained by the county. 2. Develop a long-term financing plan to provide for the replacement of the above assets. 3. Continue the surplus-deficit policy in its present form. The recommendations were made after the review concluded that the surplusdeficit policy is working as intended. Staff also concluded that county re-

because the municipalities helped pay for them in the first place,” Briscoe told The Chronicle-Guide. Having a firm surplus-deficit policy is a fundamental part of county financing, she explained. “What are you going to do in hard times? What are you going to do in good times?” said Briscoe, noting those questions have been asked in the past, but “not with (written) policy that people can have confidence in from year to year. We’re almost there.” The recommendations should be finetuned at the Nov. 21 finance committee meeting. Since Briscoe is recovering from Oct. 28 knee surgery, vice-chair Walter Stack will chair that meeting.

The real war has just begun
LETTERS
Day of Peace brings needed awareness
O
n Remembrance Day we honour the fallen soldiers who lie in Flanders Fields and near battlefields around the globe. We thank those veterans whose presence at the National War Memorial in Ottawa and at cenotaphs throughout the country reminds us of the sacrifices that make our freedom possible. Gathered near Parliament Hill, amid the pipes and parades, it’s easy to overlook the memorial itself. But take a good look at the bronze figures walking through the soaring granite arch. Guided by the winged figures of Peace and Freedom, they leave the guns of war behind and wearily make their way to what they hope will be a peaceful future, free of the hell from which they came. Now look even closer, at their faces. Are these the same boys and girls who left their farms and towns as fresh-faced teens to take on the world? No. They seem to have aged decades in just a few years. The sculptor has captured their utter fatigue, their hollow eyes and spent spirits. And even this powerful rendering is a sympathetic portrayal of the true cost of war. As Canadians celebrate veterans and honour their service, we would do well to remember those faces. The soldiers now returning from Afghanistan might not be so dramatically changed in appearance, but inside, many have aged decades in just a few months. Many more do not carry in their hearts the peace and hope for the future the monument symbolizes. It is well and good to rename highways and make speeches. But society – and government in particular – must be willing to get into the trenches and deal with the less public, much thornier issues of mental health, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and reintegration to “normal” society for veterans who left as innocents and return broken in body and spirit. The government must match its grand rhetoric with ample funding to rehabilitate wounded soldiers and educate those who don’t yet understand the demons they grapple with. But Veterans Affairs programs are being cut, and the opposition’s investigation into those cuts has been stifled by government MPs. Adding the dates of the Afghan mission to the war memorial will hardly signal its end. Our soldiers have fought and suffered in the field; the country must fight for them, and embrace them, now that they are home again.

To the editor: I would like to thank you for joining me in noting the International Day of Peace on Sept. 21. The resulting events were much more than I imagined happening for the first year. Each one of you provided real contributions that affected those around us. I heard people who attended the events comment from the heart how the activities brought new awareness, feelings of beauty and solidarity within their community and also challenges to beliefs they held and certainly thoughtfulness to me about what I am asking of people to choose peace. I also attended many peace festival events in Ottawa . The resident volunteer writer and photographer has an article on his website that might be of interest: www.spirit-wrestlers.com Changing Our Way of Thinking at the fifth Ottawa Peace Festival. The next tasks are laid out, the Bill to Establish a Department of Peace is being edited as we speak with the intent to have it presented in November and a membership drive needs to happen to provide us with financial resources. I look forward to continuing efforts towards nurturing a vision of peace in the community. Theresa Dunn, National Co-Chair Canadian Department of Peace Initiative Arnprior
Thank you Cheryl for perseverance on Gun Registry file To the editor: Well, folks, at long last, the most insidious piece of firearm legislation ever enacted in Canadian history is about to be abolished by the federal Conservatives. Moreover, the personal information collected on seven million Canadians under this legislation is slated to be destroyed as well, despite Liberal and NDP objections. Nevertheless, I hope PM Harper will take the further step of revealing in the house of commons (point by point) exactly what the Liberals put in Bill C68 – because this legislation violates every right and freedom in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the public should be made aware of this. Indeed, we either have these rights and freedoms or we do not, but as they ARE enshrined in LAW people need to realize that the Liberals deliberately ignored them. That being said, there is one side to this issue which reflects most favourably upon our recently re elected representative Cheryl Gallant.
Established in 1879
To her everlasting credit, Mrs. Gallant has maintained from its very inception, a vocal, single minded opposition to Bill C68 despite years of personal attacks and partisan sniping. Nevertheless, she remained resolute on behalf of not only her constituents, but in a larger sense, the people of Canada as well, expressing and defending her controversial position against all comers, because she understood full well that the many unconstitutional sections in Bill C68, represented not only a nullification of our rights and freedoms, but laid the foundation to legitimize a future tyranny. Fortuitously for us, she possessed the force of character and resolve every fighting man would regard as someone they could rely upon to defend a position with her last breath. Unlike Mrs. Gallant, however, demands are already afoot by Liberal and NDP politicians, who want the massive information contained in firearm databases to create provincial gun registries in Quebec and Ontario,

because their premiers intend to force this on the people whether they like it or not. As for opposition from RCMP and OPP spokesmen who say Bill C68 has been a “useful tool” in combating crime, I disagree, and the facts will back me up. Indeed, if Bill C68 has achieved anything, it’s been in the area of violating the rights and freedoms of law abiding citizens, with negligible effect on its stated purpose of combating crime, and when police agencies have a “useful tool” of this magnitude at their disposal, backed by force of law, they certainly do not want to see it abolished. To sum up, every citizen, whether they own firearms or not, should now look past the gun registry alone, to consider what PM Harper is really doing, and to what Cheryl Gallant has fought for all these years, which is protecting the rights and freedoms of all Canadian by ending Bill C68. Well done, Cheryl. You have kept your promise to us. Donald E. Broome Cobden

Arnprior’s high school has been named a recipient of the 2011 Dr. Bette M. Stephenson Recognition of Achievement award, following the school’s success in the provincial testing over the last few years. The Education Quality Accountability Office (EQAO), which administers Ontario student assessments, launched the award in 2009. The recognition program acknowledges school communities throughout Ontario that have dedicated themselves through leadership, data-driven strategies. At Arnprior District High School, the student success team and the rest of the staff promote and track student progress
through weekly meetings, daily conversations and email. In the fall, Grade 10 students write a diagnostic literacy test drawn from EQAO materials to help identify those at risk in literacy. If students are unsuccessful, letters are sent home listing the areas of the test that need to be completed again. The school also provides intensive literacy classes after hours. Bette Mildred Stephenson is a Canadian medical doctor and former Ontario politician. She served in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1975 to 1987, and was a cabinet minister in the Progressive Conservative governments of Bill Davis and Frank Miller.

DIABETES DAY NOVEMBER 14, 2011
Diabetes is a degenerative disease that develps when the body has difficulty producing and supplying the proper amount of insulin. Glucose is the main source of energy for our bodies. In fact, most of the food we eat contains one form of sugar or another, which our bodies turn into glucose to be used. But for our muscles and tissues to properly absort it, insulin is needed. Without it, our bodies are unable to store this form of energy. To further increase awareness of the risks of diabetes November 14 is World Diabetes Day. World Diabetes is a campaign that features themed campaigns for the entire year. Since 1991 the campaign has marked the birth date of Frederick Banting, who, along with Charles Best, first conceived the idea which led to the discovery of insulin in 1922.
The Canadian Diabetes Association plays an invaluable role in the everyday lives of millions of Canadians who live with diabetes. To learn more about the prevention and management of this disease visit the Canadian Diabetes Association’s website at www.diabetes.ca. 30 Jack Crescent Arnprior 613-622-0002

Critical feedback for MNR’s new district manager Watchorn talks to Renfrew County council about cormorants, collaboration and partnerships STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
In his first visit to Renfrew County council since becoming the Ministry of Natural Resources district manager last April, Rick Watchorn spoke about a wide variety of activities and issues, including bird culls, communication, fighting forest fires and quality of life. His Oct. 26 visit to county council also received critical feedback from county councillors, including Warden Bob Sweet. Sweet thanked Watchorn for his presentation. He also invited the district manager back so county council can learn more background behind certain MNR decisions. “I have to tell you at times we feel (decisions are) coming from Toronto and there is a local flavour that sometimes is missing,” said Sweet. “Certainly we want to make sure that local flavour is relayed to you, and eventually to the folks in Toronto who perhaps don’t understand where Renfrew County is.” Watchorn became the new district manager last April, a few months after Paul Moreau vacated the position to become the property and development director for Renfrew County.
MNR was preparing for the return of forestry from under the auspices of the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. “We’re looking forward to how that’s going to be worked out.” Watchorn noted that MNR also had a new minister in Thunder Bay MPP Michael Gravelle. “We hope he is more sympathetic to the logging industry,” said Janice Visneskie, a veteran advocate of the industry and mayor of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Township. “It’s a huge industry for Renfrew County, and we really and truly are suffering. So we don’t need more legislation; we need less,” added Visneskie, who made reference to concerns about species-atrisk legislation. “We can still solve the problems that people think are out there without being legislated to do so.” Watchorn also told county council that local MNR staff members helped battle Rick Watchorn, the new Pembroke district forest fires across Canada, in such locamanager for the Ontario Ministry of Natu- tions as Slake Lake, Alta., and northwestern Ontario. ral Resources.

“You just never know who’s going to be on the other end of the phone when you pick it up,” said Watchorn. “We really rely on our partners as a vital connection to the landscape.” A “satisfying” example, said Watchorn, is the work being done by university, ministry, and Arnprior Fish and Game members to investigate and improve the situation for endangered eels in the Ottawa River. The wide diversity of activities for MNR staff, added Watchorn, “creates all kinds of opportunities and partnerships and collaboration and advice and feedback.” While he said there has been a long history of MNR collaboration with community members and partners, he said sometimes there has been a sense of “us and them, and that’s truly not the way we want things to work out. It’s truly a collaborative and sharing process.” A huge factor in MNR’s work is quality of life, said Watchorn, noting that “healthy eco systems lead to healthy economies and healthy communities. It’s extremely important we make this link, so decisions aren’t made in isolation of one of these factors.” Watchorn said MNR staff are “making great efforts, great strides, great attempts … to respond to changing need.”

Goaltending key in Packers victory over Perth
EOJHL standings (Through Nov. 9, 2011)
Valley Division
Hot streak for Matt Couvrette CHRIS COUPER couper@gmail.com
The Packers may have kept the penalty box warm, but they still managed to cool down the Blue Wings offence in Sunday night's match-up at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior. Second-place Arnprior edged closer to Perth with their 6-3 win and now stand only one point behind the first-place Blue Wings in the Valley division standings. Picking up seven penalties in the second period alone, Arnprior opened the
door to Perth for powerplay after power-play. Unfortunately, the Blue Wings offence failed to convert on all 11 powerplay opportunities and even gave away a shorthanded goal late in the second. Perth may have grossly out-shot Arnprior 40 to 25, but Packers goaltender Matt Couvrette continued his season hot streak and allowed only two goals to trickle past. The Packers host Clarence Nov. 11 at home at 8 p.m. and Arnprior travels to the home of the Beavers for a Nov. 13 game at 2:15 p.m.

BOWLING UP A STORM Josh Woods, who’s the kicker for the Arnprior Redmen senior football team, throws himself into this shot at the Arnprior Bowling Centre. Saturday’s bowlathon participants included players, cheerleaders and other team supporters in efforts to raise money for a new $16,000 electronic scoreboard. “I think it’s a good idea. It’s just a modern step forward,” said offensive lineman Jeremiah Bastien. The bowlathon was a follow-up to a very successful door-todoor campaign that raised $4,200 for the cause.

HE SCORES! Keaton Beale celebrates this goal on Almonte Thunder goalie Connor Gordon during Arnprior’s 16-team bantam houseleague tournament last weekend. Beale’s goal got the Arnprior offence in gear, en route to a 3-1 Sunday-morning win. That left the hosts with two wins and a loss for second place in Pool A. Stittsville advanced out of the pool, also with a 2-1 record, to beat Kanata 6-1 in the semi-finals. Renfrew advanced out of the other semi-final with a 3-2 win over Richmond. Stittsville defeated Renfrew 6-4 in the final with the help of Maxine Pare’s hat trick.
Needing a win to put themselves into the playoff round, the Aces next game was a 2-2 nail-biter versus the Scarborough Bruins. This left the Aces tied in points for the final playoff spot with the Cumberland Grads. Luckily, the Aces 8-0 win guaranteed them the last spot with a better plus-minus. The Aces’ quarterfinal match was a heart-stopper against the Mississauga Jets, in which the locals prevailed 3-2 in double overtime. In the semi-final, the Aces turned the tables on Duffield, beating the pre-
viously undefeated Devils 3-2, vaulting the the into the tournament finals against their league rival, the Nepean Raiders. Unfortunately, tired and down to 12 skaters, the Aces came up empty, losing 5-0. Still, it was a great tournament and the Aces can look for redemption in their next league game against Nepean.

Major Midget Packers improve on shaky start The Arnprior Major Midget Packers have shown major improvement game over game, after starting the year with two lopsided losses. The midgets suffered a 12-1 defeat in a pre-season match against West Carleton and a season-opening 8-1 loss to Pembroke on the road Oct, 16. The boys came out for their first home game Oct. 17 with something to prove, and put in a gutsy performance that saw them holding a 2-2 tie with the Petawawa Patriots late in the third. Sam Freemark faced lots of shots and delivered a very solid performance, and the Packers were passing well and getting chances. However, in the dying seconds the Pa-

Minor Bantam Aces finalists in Ottawa Fall Classic While most kids spent the Halloween weekend preparing their costumes, the players of the Minor Bantam Valley Aces AA hockey team were putting together their best tournament effort of the young season. The Ottawa Fall Classic pitted 16 AA teams from across Ontario against each other. The Aces started off the round-robin portion with a 4-2 loss to the Duffield Devils. However, the squad did not let that loss get them down and they rebounded with an 8-0 thrashing of the Stouffville Clippers.

They offer a wide variety of written child protection materials, and a number of materials to help parents understand the importance of educating their children on personal safety.

A week later the Packers squared off against Valley Storm (Barry’s Bay) at the Nick Smith Centre.

Toastmasters membership rising Oct. 22 was Toastmasters’ 87th birthday. As Toastmasters International celebrates its 85th anniversary this month, the organization stands at a historic high point. Program offerings have never been more expansive. Toastmasters leaders have developed innovative strategies to keep up with advances and shifting cultural dynamics of the global age. Indeed, while many organizations around the world are downsizing because of the economic climate, Toastmasters International is growing; thousands of people are taking advantage of the organization’s programs to enhance their communication skills. Membership is at an all-time high, with more than 250,000 members in 12,000 clubs in 106 countries. As of June 30, a re-

Leighton prepares to meet world’s best powerlifters STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
Weightlifting was foreign to Sarah Leighton when she attended Opeongo High School in the 1990s. She recalls the weight room being reserved for athletes on the track and field team, but it was no big deal at the time. She never started lifting weights seriously until several years later, but now she’s preparing to compete with some of the best lifters in the world. The Cobden-born athlete, who is a co-owner of the Ultimate Fitness gyms in Arnprior and Renfrew, will represent Canada at the International Powerlifting Federation world championships in the Czech Republic Nov. 10. There are 17 athletes in her 72-kilogram weight division, but that’s not a major concern for Leighton, who says she’s ranked about 10th. The big goal for Leighton, 32, is to lift strongly in comparison to specific goals she has set for herself. By winning the Canadian powerlifting title in Prince Edward Island, she qualified for the meet which she’ll attend along with her husband and coach, Paul Vaillancourt. In winning the 2011 nationals, her respective squat, bench and dead lift were 424, 270 and 374 pounds. At the worlds, she’d love to squat 200 kilograms, or 440 pounds, for the first time, bench press 305 lbs. and dead lift 375. “Every meet, every competition I find I’m improving my numbers. There hasn’t been a competition where I haven’t improved at least one lift,” says Leighton. “It’s always a progression, which keeps you going.” At the 2011 nationals, she lifted 200 kilos, but got the red light from two of three officials. So she’s confident that mark can fall. Her mindset will be to focus not on others’ performances, but on her own, she promises. A big influence on her athletic career, since her first-ever weightlifting competition in January 2008, is her husband, coach and business partner. Vaillancourt’s a three-time Ontario Strongman champion, so he knows a thing or two about competing. “He’s tough on me, but he knows the limits,” says Leighton, who notes her “mental game” is stronger than ever. “Lifting has had a lot to do with building my confidence as a person.” “Now that I’m getting to be a more experienced lifter, you start to realize the mental aspect is a big part of it. If your mind isn’t in the right place, your body tends to follow.” Meanwhile, she’s modifying her training in the final tapering phase before the world championships. Normally, her heavier training

The co-owner of the Ultimate Fitness gyms in Arnprior and Renfrew, will represent Canada at the International Powerlifting Federation world championships in the Czech Republic Nov. 10. loads feature weightlifting four times a week plus two other sessions of conditioning. The conditioning typically includes pushing the prowler (or sled) or rowing intervals. She does no running, other than ball hockey from April to September in a six-team women’s league out of Carp. “It hurts me,” she says. Her knees and back just don’t like the activity. She admits she’d probably be running on the rugby pitch, if it wasn’t for weightlifting, but life is about choices. “I wish I could do rugby,” she admits. “There’s an upper Ottawa team I’d love to play for, but it interferes with my training. And I can’t afford to be hurt.” However, it’s not a huge loss, for weightlifting has become her No. 1 sport. “I basically got addicted to lifting weights for a purpose other than just being fit. Now I have weightlifting goals and competition goals.” “I can’t see myself slowing down any time soon,” she adds. In fact, during an interview with The Chronicle-Guide, she looks up the location of the 2012 world championships on the computer. It turns out they’re in Stavanger, Norway, where she also plans to compete.

This fall, people planning to go hiking, hunting, riding or birdwatching in a forest should take steps to stay safe. Public lands in Ontario are used for a variety of activities. Everyone in the forest needs to be aware others may be nearby, and stay visible. Hunting is allowed on most Crown land, on private property with the permission of the property owner and in some municipal forests. Anyone using the forest should check with the municipality for specific information. Hikers and Birdwatchers: • Be aware of hunting seasons in the

Adopt a senior pet this month
Committee of Adjustment for the Town of Arnprior
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Application for Consent
Older pets easier to train, calmer and more affectionate November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month and the Arnprior and District Humane Society encourages individuals to consider older pets when adding a new member of the family. November’s event promotes the benefits of owning a senior pet — and shines attention on the many older animals often passed over in favor of younger dogs and cats. In support of the event, the shelter is lighting reasons to adopt an older pet, pointing out that senior pets are often easier to train, calmer and more affectionate, and settle down quickly with both
humans and other pets. Want to know how you can get involved? Here are some of the humane society’s favorite ways to help: * Tell your friends about the advantages of adopting a senior pet — you can share the full list of reasons to adopt an older pet from Petfinder’s website. * Contact our shelter to see if they need special donations of food or medicine for our older pets. The Arnprior humane society is located at 490 Didak Dr., in Arnprior. Call 613-623-0916 or visitwww.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca.
Watch for wildlife on highways The Ministry of Natural Resources is asking motorists to be extra cautious on Ontario’s roads this fall as wildlife is on the move. * Moose, elk and deer are particularly active in the fall, especially at dawn and dusk, as they search for mates and food. Deer and elk often travel in groups of two or more, so when motorists see one there may be more nearby. * Drivers who see these animals along the road should slow down and sound their horns in a series of short bursts. At night, motorists should blink their
headlights to warn the animals and give them a chance to move out of the way. * Motorists should take extra care where roads cross creeks or rivers, in wooded corridors, or where field edges run at a right angle to the road. They should also be cautious where fences meet roads and where wildlife crossing signs are posted. * For more information, check out the Ministry of Transportation’s Watch For Wildlife tips for motorists in Ontario (http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/wildlife.shtml).

Water heater companies have sent representatives throughout Arnprior recently in a bid to earn a larger share of the business. So it is timely that a survey conducted by Pollara finds that aggressive and questionable door-to-door water heater sales tactics have become a “significant problem” for Ontario residents. The online survey was commissioned by EnerCare Inc. and received 1,203 responses during January and February. Pollara, a leading polling company, was tasked with conducting research among Ontarians to understand consumers’ familiarity and experiences with unsolicited water heater door-to-door salespeople. The result is a report, entitled The Truth About Door-to-Door Water Heater Sales Tactics in Ontario. EnerCare was motivated to commission this research after receiving feedback from customers that they were potentially being misled at the door and feeling pressured to sign new, long-term water heater rental contracts without understanding their rights as a consumer or even which company they were dealing with. The Pollara survey results find that 41 per cent of Ontario residents have received an unsolicited door-to-door water
heater sales visit in the past year. “The results of this survey conclude that many consumers are feeling pressured by door-to-door water heater sales agents,” said Barry Zeidenberg, Director of Marketing, EnerCare. “Further, consumers are making decisions to switch providers based on misinformation or a lack of information and we find this completely unacceptable.” Residents’ experiences with door-todoor water heater salespeople are decidedly negative with many respondents reporting sales tactics that are aggressive and intrusive, including asking to see the current energy bill and saying they needed to come into the home. Of particular interest is the fact that only 20 per cent of respondents said that door-to-door water heater salespeople identified the company they represented. Further, 23 per cent of respondents believed they had been approached by Direct Energy or Enbridge - neither of which solicit water heater sales door-to-door - and 45 per cent could not identify which company the salespeople represented. According to Zeidenberg, these findings indicate water heater door-to-door salespeople are not communicating with consumers in a transparent manner.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Application for Consent IN THE MATTER of Section 53, Chapter P.13 of The Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990; and IN THE MATTER of an application for consent with respect to the following: Owner: Sullivan Holdings (Arnprior) Inc.

The subject property is currently vacant. The lot line adjustment will provide additional lands to the abutting industrial property. The application for severance proposes to sever an irregular area of approximately 3.55 ha (8.7 acres), from the west side of the subject lands to be added to the abutting property to provide additional lot area. The retained portion is proposed to have an approximate area of 4.96 ha (12.2 acres) with approximately 310m of frontage on Hartney Street. The effect of the proposed severance is the severance of a portion of the existing property to provide additional yard area to the abutting property. TAKE NOTICE THAT the consent applications will be heard by the Committee of Adjustment for the Town of Arnprior on Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. The hearing will be held in the Council Chambers, Arnprior Town Hall, 105 Elgin Street West, Arnprior, ON.

Riverkeeper relays her Ottawa River Odyssey LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com
Meredith Brown is passionate about the Ottawa River, so much so that she spent much of this past summer learning all about it. Now she wants share what she has learned and encourage more people to care about the Ottawa River and its tributaries. As she describes it, the goal is to “find ways to bring the river, its people and its issues to a wider audience.” Brown was a driving force behind The Great River Project, a journey that began July 4 in Temiskaming and wrapped up where the Ottawa River meets the St. Lawrence River at Montreal. On Oct. 26, Brown took her expedition to the Renfrew Public Library and a full room of river enthusiasts. She gave basically two presentations. To open, she gave a brief Power Point presentation on the non-governmental, not-for-profit Ottawa Riverkeeper organization, part of a broader international group known as the Waterkeepers Alliance. “Riverkeeper really exists to protect and promote the ecological health of the Ottawa River … and the tributaries that flow into the Ottawa River,” she said. “We work collaboratively to bring science-based information to the public and to decision-makers. We promote compli-
ance with existing laws and regulations that are there to protect our water,” she said. “We raise awareness. We try to empower people to act at the individual level, at the municipal level, at the provincial and federal level, and, essentially, really try to bring the river to people to understand why it’s important, how beautiful it is and how we can all benefit from it. And, in fact, how we are already benefitting from it,” Brown said. Brown’s role as Riverkeeper is to promote that objective. GREAT RIVER PROJECT Enter The Great River Project. Brown explained how The Great River Project came to be, it goals, core participants, observations and what is next. The Ottawa River watershed area is 145,000 square kilometres with more than 200 municipalities within its boundaries. “It’s bigger than many countries in the world,” Brown noted. The length of the river is 1,271 kilometres from its source to the confluence of the St. Lawrence River at Montreal. The Great River Project journey covered about 900 of those kilometres in a five-leg expedition. Each leg featured a different focus and involved different participants. The first one-week leg went from Fort Temiskaming to Mattawa; second leg
four days from Mattawa to Swisha; third leg Swisha to Portage-du-fort; fourth leg Chenaux to Ottawa; and the final leg Ottawa to Montreal. The first four legs were paddled by canoe. The last section was covered by motor boat. Brown was especially proud of the ‘future leaders’ trip from Swisha to the Chenaux Dam at Portage-du-fort that lasted eight days and included students ages 14 to 17. She said it’s important to recognize the importance of training future generations to protect the river. The challenges faced by the river range from such impacts as municipal sewage and pulp mills to dams and shoreline alterations. “There are huge challenges in dealing with these in the fact we have multiple jurisdictions,” she added. “It’s very complex and really very little information sharing and accountability amongst all the different agencies and players.” “There’s no shared vision; there’s no watershed management for the Ottawa River,” she said, describing the approach to date as piecemeal. “If we want to protect the Ottawa River it has to be collective action. We need action at the municipal level, the provincial level and the federal level. We really need team effort here,” she said. During The Great River Project, the river was assessed through regular wa-
ter monitoring. Analyses of those results have yet to be compiled. The journey also celebrated the river’s historic significance. Photographer Mike Bidel, who volunteered his time and expertise to capture the entire experience, is expected to publish a book on the journey. Brown’s presentation was the second in a five-part Nature in Your Neighbourhood series, a collaborative initiative of the Ottawa River Institute and the Bonnechere River Watershed project, in partnership with the libraries of the Bonnechere watershed. The series is funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The next free presentation is Farming with the Natural Environment, with local farmer Bob Dobson, at Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Admaston-Bromley Library in Douglas. As designated Riverkeeper, a role she has filled for the past seven years, Brown is part of a broad initiative to protect rivers around the world. During Thursday’s gathering, she gave special recognition to local members of River Watch. Brown’s experience includes working with multiple levels of government on issues such as dam removal and determining in-stream flow targets on regulated rivers. Prior to Brown’s address, Cheryl Keetch of the Ottawa River Institute shared information on Renfrew County Biotabase.

Quilts galore at museum’s November show steve.newman@metroland.com
Redwork, Kashubian, Colonial Lady, Crazy Quilt, Sugar Bay, Yoyo Pattern. Name the quilt, and chances are you’ll find it on one of the three floors of the Arnprior and District Museum, during this month’s eighth annual quilt show. Nearly 150 quilts are on display until Sunday, Nov. 20, including several of the museum’s own collection of about 50. Dozens of others are on loan for the show, which is a mix of styles and fabrics, as well as an expression of Canadian culture past and present. The show co-ordinator is Cathy Rodger, whose museum textile group put the show together. Several quilts on display come from a Mrs. Fraser, who was an Arnprior retail owner in the mid-1800s. One of her quilts shows 72 brush-cotton patches of national flags collected in tobacco tins. The description says her son recalls his
dad sitting in the evening in 1916 with the “throw” around his shoulder while reading the war news. Edna Snyder of Arnprior is the featured quilter, with 22 of her quilts on display. Her 1986 quilt of several tree images was made before such modern equipment as cutting mats and rotary cutters were available. “We just hope people enjoy seeing the colours and the workmanship that people have put into their quilts,” said Rodger. Several quilts are of the redwork variety that originated in Europe in the early 1800s and lasted until the 1920s. Created with red stitching on white backgrounds, they include a 1906 quilt from Brantford, a 1910 one from Toronto and a 1917 Coverlet from London, Ont. The latter featured nursery rhyme characters, including Humpty Dumpty, and an image of a largernosed chap with his nose literally held to the grindstone. Another quilt, which pays

Eyeing Arnprior building on McGonigal Street STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
Renfrew County council has authorized its Real Property Assets Division to proceed with preliminary work for a proposed Renfrew OPP detachment building on O’Brien Road. Renfrew County owns 26 acres of property at 450 O’Brien Road, which includes Renfrew County Place. That facility houses several Renfrew County services, a day care, and is the Renfrew base for the county’s paramedic service. Renfrew County property and development director Paul Moreau said talks are very preliminary with Infrastructure Ontario, which helps develop buildings for the Ontario Provincial Police. Moreau suggested the OPP might be looking at about six
acres of property. However, he also indicated it’s “difficult to determine the actual footprint of the building until the County of Renfrew receives the design specifications from Infrastructure Ontario.” For several years, the Renfrew detachment of the OPP has worked out of two joint locations. Headquarters are in the municipal building on Raglan Street, while its secondary offices are housed on Stewart Street at the north end of town. It is possible, said Moreau, the county would build the new home for the OPP and in turn lease the building to the OPP. This is a practice for several OPP detachments, said Moreau. At county council’s Oct. 26 meeting, council authorized the Real Property Assets Division to spend up to $50,000 on legal fees and preliminary designs. The
Money allocated for seniors with mental health challenges The Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is investing almost $3.8 million to enhance services for local seniors with mental health issues. The initiatives will be aimed, starting in February, at seniors who exhibit behaviours associated with complex and challenging mental health, dementia or other neurological conditions. The money is part of a $40million provincial investment - shared among Ontario’s 14 LHINs - to allow health service providers to hire new staff (nurses, personal support workers and other health care providers) and train them in the specialized
skills necessary to better meet the unique needs of the seniors. The investment is part of the provincial Behavioural Supports Ontario (BSO) project, which focuses on providing quality care for individuals with these conditions, in an environment that is based on safety, respect, highquality, evidence-based care and practice. One of the goals of the BSO project is to ensure staff working in health care settings – such as long-term care homes, community services and hospitals – are supported in caring for seniors with complex mental health needs.
LCBO hours for Remembrance Day LCBO stores will open at noon on Remembrance Day, Friday, Nov. 11 and remain open until normal closing hours. The exception is the City of Ottawa, where LCBO stores will not open until 12:30 p.m. due to Remembrance Day events in the National Capital Region. LCBO agency stores observe their normal hours of business on Nov. 11. Agency stores are locally-
owned retail establishments that contract with the LCBO to sell beverage alcohol, along with other products, in communities that are too small to support LCBO stores. These hours of operation on Nov. 11 are designed to avoid any conflict with traditional Remembrance Day services, while providing a level of customer service consistent with other retailers during the day.

work is to be financed from the contingency allocation of the county’s 2011 budget.
The county’s preliminary work will include a building assessment, legal fees and possibly preliminary design work. Without being too specific, Moreau said the building is a possible home for services already provided by the county elsewhere. The one-storey building on McGonigal is about 5,800 square feet.
ARNPRIOR BUILDING County council has also authorized the assets division to spend up to $50,000 to investigate the possible purchase and renovation of the property at 80 McGonigal Street in Arnprior.

Many property taxpayers to get assessment notices this fall Almost one million property taxpayers will receive Property Assessment Notices this fall, according to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), which began mailing Notices this week. “MPAC is responsible for updating the assessment information in its database on an ongoing basis,” said Carl Isenburg, President and Chief Administrative Officer of MPAC. “If there have been any changes to a property, we mail a Property Assessment Notice reflecting those changes to the owner of the property,” said Isenburg. Property taxpayers will receive a Notice from MPAC if there has been: • a change to property ownership, legal description, or school support; • a change to a property’s assessment resulting from a Request for Reconsideration or Assessment Review Board decision; • a property value increase/ decrease reflecting a change to the property, for example, a new structure, addition, or removal of an old structure; or, • a change in the classification or tax liability of the property. Property owners who receive a Property Assessment Notice this fall have until April 2, 2012 to ask MPAC to reconsider their assessment. This will be done at no charge. Details on how to file a Request for Reconsideration have been included with every Notice mailed. “If property owners have any questions or concerns about their assessment, I encourage them to contact us. We will help to answer questions and review the information we have on file,” said Isenburg. Property owners can also access detailed assessment information about their own property and comparable properties through AboutMyProperty at wwwmpac.ca. Every Notice mailed this fall includes personalized passwords to access AboutMyProperty. The last province-wide Assessment Update of Ontario’s more than 4.8 million properties took place in 2008 and was based on the legislated valuation date of Jan. 1, 2008. The next province-wide Assessment Update will take place in 2012 and will be based on the legislated valuation date of Jan. 1, 2012.

Galilee hosted the traditional blessing of garden herbs and the blessing of water down on the river. At the river are newcomers to Arnprior, David and Marie Morgan.
Galilee celebrates Feast FR. JACK LAU
OMI, Galilee Centre
The Oblate Associates of Galilee-Arnprior gathered recently to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption, which reminds people of the ancient traditional practices of the blessing of herbs for healing. As well, there was a blessing of the waters on the beach at Galilee. While at the river, participants also reflected upon the people of Somalia who are experiencing a drought of biblical
proportions. Tens of thousands have died and hundreds of thousands are without food. After this reflection, a word from sacred scripture and blessing with the waters from the Jordan River, those assembled waded into the waters of life, giving thank for the many blessing we have living along Ottawa and Madawaska rivers. Those interested Galilee Centre or becoming an Oblate Associate can contact Fr. Jack Lau at Galileecentre.com or 613623-4242.

Golden years postponed: many Canadians can’t afford to retire planned. The region with the highest percentage of workers expecting they’ll have to postpone retirement was Ontario (43 per cent). The primary reason (cited by 40 per cent of Canadians) was, “I’m not saving enough money for retirement.” A major contributing factor to the low savings rate is that many Canadians are living close to the line. The CPA survey found that the majority of Canadian workers continue to live pay cheque to pay cheque, with 57 per cent saying they would be in financial difficulty if their pay was delayed by even a week. Financial planners generally recommend that people
have about three months of expenses (rent, mortgage, bills, groceries, etc.) as an emergency fund. Almost three-quarters of Canadian employees (74 per cent in Ontario) said they have saved less than a quarter of their retirement savings goal. “This is particularly troubling when you realize that even the older age groups are not saving for their retirement,” said CPA chairwoman Dianne Winsor. “For example, more than 40 per cent of Canadian employees aged 55 to 65 are still less than a quarter of the way to their retirement savings goal.” Another significant find-
ing is that 50 per cent of employees across the country (53 per cent in Ontario) reported that they are currently saving only five per cent or less of their net pay. This is well below the 10 per cent of net pay that financial planning experts generally recommend as a retirement savings rate. CPA president Patrick Culhane noted that payroll professionals can often help employees administer a savings plan. This may include the employee directing a portion of their net pay to a separate savings account and/or into a Registered Retirement Savings Program. “Develop a savings plan, and then talk to your pay-
Edward Jones ranked in top 50 best employers For the 10th consecutive year, financial services firm Edward Jones, which has an Arnprior office, was named to the ‘50 Best Employers in Canada’ list published in Maclean’s magazine. The firm ranked in the No. 12 spot. “We are honoured that our associates have again recognized Edward Jones as one of the best employers in Canada,” said Gary Reamey, managing principal, Edward Jones, Canada. “Our core goal of helping clients meet their long-term financial objectives is achieved through our culture of partnership and our mandate to value and respect associates and their contributions.” Two hundred and sixty-one Canadian employers took part in the 2012 Best Employers studies with more than
112,000 Canadian workers responding to questions that focused on employee engagement. “Those organizations ranked highest on the list have employee engagement of close to 90 per cent,” said Neil Crawford, leader of the Best Employers in Canada study conducted by Aon Hewitt. “That’s
an impressive accomplishment, particularly now when many parts of the Canadian economy are showing signs of recovery and employee attraction and retention is becoming more challenging.” The list of 2012’s 50 Best Employers appeared in the Oct. 31 issue of Maclean’s magazine.

Most Canadians do understand what they could be doing to improve their financial situation and meet their retirement goals. Ranked in order of importance, respondents thought they should be spending less (32 per cent), paying off credit card debt (22 per cent), reducing their mortgage (19 per cent) and contributing more to their retirement savings (14 per cent).

A Canadian Payroll Association (CPA) survey finds many Canadians are faced with the prospect of working longer before retirement In Ontario, 60 per cent are living pay cheque to pay cheque and 74 per cent falling short of their retirement savings goals. For many people, the ‘golden years’ are now a more distant dream. They are struggling to save for retirement and to make ends meet. According to the third annual survey of employees conducted by the CPA, 40 per cent of Canadians said they’ll likely have to retire later than they previously

# 4043 Willie
# 4045 Waylon
Willie was found with his siblings when they were only a couple weeks old and they were placed in foster care where they were handraised. Willie is a very sweet, neutered, five-month-old kitten. He is playful and mischievous, he is always ready for loves and cuddles from his beagle canine mommy. He is great with other cats and loves dogs. Willie is affectionate, he is a real people cat and will make a wonderful companion for his new family. He is available for viewing by appointment only.
Waylon is a sibling of Willie. He is the gentle giant of the gang, content to sit back and observe the antics, but not above being coerced into a rousing game of chase. He is a very sweet, neutered, five-month-old kitten. He is playful and curious, he is very affectionate and loving. He is great with other cats and absolutely loves dogs. Waylon will make a wonderful companion for his new family. He is available for viewing by appointment only.
Supplies the shelter needs: large and small rawhides for dogs, glass cleaner, bleach and Whiskas kitten food. You can call the Arnprior and District Humane Society at 613-623-0916 between noon and 5 p.m Monday to Saturday or visit www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca

With the change of weather comes flu season. People of any age can get the flu, and illness usually lasts two to seven days, sometimes longer in the elderly and in people with chronic diseases. Most people who get the flu are ill for only a few days. However, some people can become very ill, possibly developing complications and requiring hospitalization. The health care professionals at ADMH and the Grove recommend that everyone gets their flu shot this year. The flu shot helps strengthen your body's natural immune response against the flu by building antibodies that make you stronger and ready to fight off the flu. The vaccine does not contain live viruses so you cannot get the flu from the flu shot.
According to a statement released by the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) on the seasonal influenza vaccine for 2011-2012, they estimate that between five to 10 per cent of the population gets the flu every year. NACI estimates, “that in a given year up to 20,000 hospitalizations related to influenza may occur; that between 4,000 to 8,000 Canadians, mostly seniors, may die from pneumonia related to influenza; and that others may die from other serious complications of influenza.” The influenza virus spreads mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing. People can become infected by touching objects or surfaces with flu viruses on them and then touching their eyes, mouth or nose. People with the flu may be able to infect others one day before symptoms develop and up to seven days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Children, especially younger children, might be contagious for longer periods.
Karen Brunke, Diabetes Educator, receives her flu shot at ADMH.
If you get the flu we advise you to: Stay home and get plenty of rest. Clean your hands frequently with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, particularly after coughing or blowing your nose. When entering or leaving the hospital or the Grove, wash your hands! If you have come in contact with the flu or are experiencing some symptoms please refrain from visiting residents at the Grove and patients in the hospital. So this year, make sure you get your flu shot early. The R0011178899 sooner you get it, the earlier you're protected!

BURNETTE In loving memory of a great wife and mother, Gail, who passed away November 14, 2008. The golden gates were opened, Three years ago today, With goodbyes left unspoken, You gently passed away. You couldn’t say goodbye to us, Perhaps it was just as well, We never could have said goodbye, To the one we loved so well. You were a friend to everyone, And would stop to say hello, We have so many memories, Of the thoughtful things you’re done. The happy moments that we shared, The laughter and the fun, To hear your voice, to see your smile, To sit and talk for awhile, To be together in the same old way, Would be our dearest wish today. We love and miss you, Gary and girls 314036
