The Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce is proposing a partnership agreement with the Town of Arnprior and the Business Improvement Association (BIA) to operate a permanent tourist information centre downtown.

The plan, which has been backed in principle by the BIA board, would see the centre staffed six days a week from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for 50 weeks of the year.

The Chamber says it has found a suitable downtown location that is wheelchair accessible with a main floor washroom.

Based on the expense of renting the space and staffing the centre, it has drafted a budget estimating the annual cost to be $43,545.

The Chamber has offered to provide office furniture and supplies and manage the tourist centre for the other two partners.

As the Chamber is a non-profit organization, it maintains it does not have the financial ability to operate a tourist information centre on its own.

Its current budget, based mostly on membership dues, limits its spending to about $10,000 per year on the costs associated with renting a space and having an employee provide administrative services. Therefore, it is suggesting it and the BIA pay 25 per cent each of the centre’s costs, with the Town responsible for the other 50 per cent.

The chamber also estimates there will be $5,000 in one-time start-up costs that could also be split three ways.

In seeking support for the proposal, the Chamber’s board of directors note it would address feedback received in June from Kempville during the First Impressions Community Exchange.

SALUTE TO THE FALLEN

Speeding concerns tackled JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Both Arnprior and McNab-Braeside councils are trying to address speeding problems in their communities.

Council members discussed such issues as the effectiveness of speed boards, traffic calming measures, enforcement and police costing in discussions at their respective meetings in the last week.

On Monday Arnprior council debated the merits of buying a mobile radar speed

sign, which is being recommended by its public works advisory committee. However, not all councillors are convinced the close to $3,000 expenditure would be a good use of taxpayers’ money.

Committee chairman Ted Strike said that after discussing such initiatives as more stop signs and traffic calming options, members agreed the data that could be collected by a SafePace 100 Radar speed sign would make it worthwhile.

Tourism centre costs proposed to be shared three ways

Continued from front

Overall, Arnprior left a favorable impression with the volunteer visitors from Kempville, but among the areas they said could be improved upon was Chamber of Commerce and BIA visibility and tourist information.

The Kemptville visitors indicated in their written report: • No one was available at the municipal centre during lunch hour; • Difficult to find information

and the location of the Chamber, as its office is not downtown; • Economic development didn’t have an office or a place to meet or discuss investment opportunities and resources seemed limited on investment readiness in terms of product development and human resources; • The BIA seemed challenged when it came to business support and participation; • The public library was the

only location for public washrooms downtown; • The library had brochures and information, but it wasn’t apparent that they provided the service; • Difficult to identify tourism roles (who was responsible for what); • Museum was identified as an information centre but was not open based on hours posted; • No dedicated tourism office, information center, or kiosk.

A presentation has been made to the BIA board of directors, who have supported the idea in principle. The Chamber anticipates presenting the proposal at Arnprior council’s Community Improvement and Tourism Committee meeting. It will ask the committee to support for the plan and ask for its inclusion in the town’s 2012 budget deliberations.

If successful, the centre could begin operation in 2012.

Over the past three years, the Chamber, BIA and the Town have worked together to improve quality of life and create business opportunities in Arnprior, says the Chamber.

“This partnership is a logical next step. A tourist information centre downtown will increase the exposure of all three groups and tourists will be brought downtown, increasing opportunities for downtown merchants.”

Speed board effectiveness debated Continued from front We want a device that gives us information as well as (speed) readings,” Strike said. “For example a traffic count could help us pinpoint where the problems are and when they occur.”

He said too many times police react to complaints about speeders, only to not find any law-breakers when upping enforcement.

“Maybe they’re going at the wrong time,” he said, noting the data from the speed board could let them know when the speeding occurs.

Strike said the OPP provided a powerpoint presentation at the committee’s October meeting including several suggestions regarding traffic calming.

A speed board would help council determine if such measures are needed, he said.

Public works director Janet Collins explained that the battery-powered SafePace 100 speed board device is small enough to be easily moved from one street to another.

Reeve Walter Stack agreed a smaller board would be preferable to the large speed sign being used by the town’s neighbours.

McNab-Braeside, Greater Madawaska, Horton and Whitewater Region got together and bought a board, but like other municipalities that have done the same, it hasn’t turned out to be very effective, he maintained.

“Most of them are gathering dust,” he added. “I’ve never heard any positive reports from (their use).”

However, Strike was adamant the board would be useful. “The pros outweigh the cons by far,” he said.

Mayor David Reid noted that no decision was need-

Renfrew OPP Staff Sgt. Colin Slight addresses McNabBraeside council Nov. 8. ed now, as the recommendation is to consider the estimated $2,874 cost in the 2012 budget deliberations.

TOWNSHIP SPEEDERS McNab-Braeside’s speeding issues are continuing despite lengthy efforts to curtail the problem.

Areas including Sand Point, Braeside and White Lake are among the worst for speeding, say council members.

Renfrew OPP Staff Sgt. Colin Slight was at the Nov. 8 meeting of council’s planning committee to address questions and concerns.

“I still feel that the speedboard in conjunction with enforcement does the best job,” said Coun. Brad McIlquham, chairman of the Community Policing Advisory Committee.

Mayor Mary Campbell had asked about photo radar, but Slight explained such an initiative would have to be undertaken with the Ministry of Transportation.

As to whether another speed board is a possibility, Slight explained officers and staff are needed to set

up and run it.

‘You can go ahead and purchase the speedboard,” said Slight. “But I’d be relying on your staff and members to set it up.”

In areas of particular concern, you can get much smaller ones that are mounted on a speed sign.

“There are cost-effective ways to use that technology,” he said.

OPP will continue to monitor and deal with the problem, said Slight.

“There’s no doubt about it, visibility is our best tool.”

Slight explained his detachment area does have the highest number of traffic fatalities in Ontario, something he and the force take very seriously.

Council has heard complaints at recent council meetings from residents of both Sand Point and Waba.

Renfrew County has agreed to undertake some traffic calming measures on River Road in the Sand Point area.

Council has asked for more enforcement in Waba, especially when students are on their way to and from the school buses.

• A recent email from Parks Canada spoke to the safety of the cannon, “It should be kept under close scrutiny where pranksters cannot decide that the firing it would be fun. Also, no matter what some re-enactor or other ‘expert’ might say, it can never be fired safely with a charge of any size.”

The Arnprior and District Museum Board doesn’t want its cannon moved.

Arnprior council had suggested the historic cannon be shifted away from the street and perhaps off site so as not to be in harm’s way during winter snow-removal and sanding operations.

However, the board at a meeting Nov. 1 voted unanimously in favour of keeping the cannon on museum grounds for five reasons, council was informed in a memo from museum curator Janet Carlile.

“They’re very adamant it stays where it is because it is part of the museum collection,” said Coun. Mark Willmer.

However, there is still a possibility the cannon could be moved to another part of the museum property once more work is done at the front of the property, explained Willmer.

It would be better if it was stored on higher ground, said Mayor David Reid. “It would be out of the way more … that could solve some issues.”

“That (the board is open to eventually moving the cannon to another part of the property) could have been mentioned in their letter,” said Reeve Walter Stack. He took umbrage with the memo, saying he resented its tone.

“We got our hands slapped here,” he said, adding he thought the town had made a reasonable suggestion.

The museum memo explained that: • A legal deed of gift was signed by Mrs. Gillies making the cannon barrel part of the museum collection. The base and hardware have come from other sources and as a result of responsible collections management it is located where it is.

Complaints about speeders has prompted the public works advisory committee to consider adding a stop sign at the Moe Robillard and Short road intersection to slow traffic.

After council debated the merits of three- and four-way stops, the matter was referred back to the committee to come up with a recommendation for council at its next meeting.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Arnprior council has approved the traditional bylaw closing several streets in town to vehicular traffic starting at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 26 to allow the Arnprior Legion-sponsored Santa Claus Parade to wind safely through town.

Council passed the bylaw Monday after receiving a request to do so by Arnprior Legion president Ray Cunningham, who noted the parade route will remain the same as last year.

He said the Arnprior OPP and Community Policing are working together to figure out the best way to handle traffic control, security and safety

The annual parade will begin at Winners Circle, turning right down Daniel, left on Edey, right on John, right on Madawaska and right on Daniel.

The parade ends at Winners Circle.

Those streets are closed until the parade is over.

The parade was changed a few years ago from an early afternoon affair to an early evening event, with the Christmas lights being a crowd-pleaser, says the Legion.

Youngsters are invited to drop by the Legion Hall after the parade to meet Santa.

The Arnprior Legion is also holding a breakfast during the morning of Nov. 26.

TOWN OF ARNPRIOR NOTICE OF THE PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW

Beaches given clean bill of health DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The county health unit didn’t have to post no-swimming signs in Arnprior or McNab-Braeside this past summer.

Both municipalities recorded a oneday E.coli spike, but little else proved of concern according to water sample results from Robert Simpson Park and McLean beaches in Arnprior, along with White Lake, Red Pine Bay and Burnstown beaches in the township.

Mike Grace of the Renfrew and District Health Unit said the fecal matter in both cases was likely the result of geese or gulls passing through the area.

“The results were really good other than the one day,” Grace said. “Other than that the water in that part of the county is excellent.”

Sampling season begins in June and continues until early September, he explained. Each beach is sampled on a weekly basis with a total of five samples taken on each sampling day.

If the geometric mean of the five sample results on any given sampling day exceeds the provincial limit of 100 E.coli organisms per 100 ml of water, they resample that particular beach as soon as possible.

If the geometric mean of the re-sampling continues to be above the provincial limit, they contact the municipality and request that the beach be posted as being unsafe for swimming, Grace said.

Sampling continues at the affected beach until the health unit receives two consecutive days of acceptable results.

Only then is the sign removed and regu-

Keeping Christmas in the Valley

LETTERS

I

t’s a regular scene in the Valley over Christmas time.

A member of your household arrives home from a shopping trip in the city, loaded down with bags from the mall after trying to check off every cousin and aunt on the “to-buy-for” list.

And the regular process happens, where the money, often earned in the Valley, is cycled back into a store in the city – even it wasn’t for that specific special item, but a generic set of hand towels or body wash.

Christmas is just around the corner, even if we groan when we hear the Christmas music in the stores. There’s no denying it, that the shopping is going to begin soon.

This Christmas, think about the best gift options for those around you. Is something sold in the city available in your own town?

Our area is full of independent retailers and artists who create unique items. When you support them, the dollars you spend are pushed back into the community.

It’s like the 100-mile diet that has gained popularity in the past few years.

Imagine completing a 25-kilometre holiday shopping season by purchasing as many gifts as possible from businesses operated within 25 kilometres of your house.

The options are endless, and you might be amazed at some of the gems you can find without driving into the city.

You can relax, save gas and help local businesses by buying items close to home. And you’ll probably find something different than the sameold, same-old.

If you don’t see anything that tickles your fancy, most restaurants and stores offer gift certificates.

It’s often easier to buy an activity, like a dinner out at restaurant in town, than a possibly unwanted item for a hard-to-shop-for person. Everyone enjoys a good meal out on the town.

So as the holiday season draws closer by the day, and we start to draft our gift list master plans, try to think of what you can buy from a local retailer or business.

Not only will you be more likely to find a unique gift, but you’ll be giving a gift back to your community.

Wreath laid aboard the cruise ship Carnival Magic

Poppies grow in the Gulf of Mexico To the Editor: My spouse, Jacqueline MacDonald, and I just returned from a trans-Atlantic cruise aboard the new ship Carnival Magic.

When we got home, we were delighted to read of the article about Art and Noreen Charbonneau’s participation in the Remembrance Day Ceremonies on Nov. 11.

While they and other citizens of our community were here in Arnprior, we were also participating in a special service of remembrance at exactly 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 aboard the ship. We were at a position of 25 degrees north, 84 degrees west, which is west southwest of Key West Florida.

Carnival Cruise Lines were very supportive of our initiative to hold a service which honoured our Remembrance Day, the American Veteran’s Day, and, as it is known in other parts of the world, Armistice Day. All told, more than 1,400 passengers and crew members, 20 of whom are Canadian attended the service in the main theatre of the vessel.

The wreath was purchased in Freeport, The Bahamas and was laid by the ship’s master, Capt. Giovanni Cutugno.

What was significant about this service was that it was the first time such a service was held on a Carnival cruise ship, and of all the 100 cruise ships under the Carnival banner, e.g. Princess, Cunard, P & O, etc. who traditionally hold services of remembrance on Nov. 11, this service was the largest ever at-

tended. I brought with me more than 150 poppies supplied by our local Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 174. Needless to say, they were in high demand and everyone wanted one.

Alas, we decided to give 20 to the Canadian crew personnel who wore them proudly and to the dignitaries who also participated in the service. The remainder went to veterans as far as the supply could last. They were a ‘hot item’ to say the least.

While there was reference made to all those who had passed as a result of their respective services to their countries, and the pledge to always ‘remember them’, the thrust of this service was also in recognition of the merchant navies of our allies in World War Two, and more to the point, those ships and personnel who in 1942 from January to mid-July were lost along the Atlantic seaboard, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

This time frame is known in history as the ‘First Happy time’ when the convoy system was not used south of New York.

A staggering number of more than 450 merchant ships were damaged or sunk due to enemy action. Fifteen merchantmen went down in roughly the same area we were at on 11 a.m., Nov. 11, two of which were Canadian. In that particular time, 43 ships were sunk in the Gulf of Mexico with another 135 in the Caribbean sea.

Allied naval losses were only two ships while a total of nine enemy submarines were sunk. It was after July

1942, that the convoy system was used all along the Atlantic eastern seaboard and the ‘First Happy Time’ was over.

During the ceremony per se, Rev. John Brown from Hamilton, Ontario made reference to the Remembrance Day Service held here in Arnprior and he made mention of Art and Noreen Charbonneau by name and the significance of their participation here. That announcement was met with loud and respectful applause.

What was also very significant was how our poppies were acknowledged by many United States veterans who received them. While some knew of John McRae’s poem, which incidentally was recited by a Canadian crewperson by the name of Natalie LaBelle from Ottawa, most did not know of the reverence we hold for the poppy.

Those who received them wore them proudly during the day and were wearing them on Sunday as we left the ship.

In fact, we saw an American veteran at our stopover in Philadelphia on Sunday night was still wearing his.

I heard comments from others that they thought the wearing of poppies was something they would like to introduce in their respective home towns in recognition of their Veteran’s Day. Jacqueline and I left the ship feeling proud to be Canadian and knowing that poppies not only grow in Flanders Fields, but they also took root in the Gulf of Mexico.

Letters to the Editor

To the editor: Recently I responded to a request in the media regarding the need for chaperones for the monthly teen dances being held at the Nick Smith Centre.

Failure for Kayla and Don, who are the driving force behind these events for our local youth, would mean that this social gathering would have to be cancelled.

It required that I complete an application and also a security form with the local OPP. Both of which I did immediately.

Last Friday evening was my first participation. I can only say that I was thoroughly impressed with both Kayla and Don’s commitment to host these events.

The attendance expected was 350 youth from pre-teen and older.

Prior to 7 p.m. and the opening of the doors to allow the young people in, I was pleased to see that four other chaperones were there to assist. They were parents and immediately got busy in setting up the snack bar, etc. for the evening.

Most of them had been regular

volunteers. It was a pleasure to watch the hustle and listen to the conversation.

The hall was decorated and the music was selected for the youth that would be in attendance. The noise decimal was up there.

The moment the doors opened at 7 p.m., the hall quickly filled with an ocean of excited youth of all ages. It was a pleasure to watch them as they ran into the hall and sought out friends and classmates and shared hugs and laughter.

It was only a few moments until the dancing began.

I commend the Town of Arnprior, and particularly Glenn Arthur and his team, plus the parent volunteers for providing such safe and fun space and time for all of these young people.

I will try and attend when possible to assist.

Regardless, I will always remember the experience and the sound of laughter and joy of those in attendance.

Betty Fevreau Arnprior

Femicide argument flawed To the editor: The letter titled ‘Femicide is a very real issue’ (Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, Oct. 27) is describing the problem and its impact upon the whole community, but contains several inconsistencies.

The author, Ms. JoAnne Brooks, is undoubtedly an expert in her field, but confuses the fundamental basis of Bill C68, which is the gun, or firearms registry with the weapons, which by law means any object in the hand of the violent person attempting to commit the act of violence or simply the crime.

The verification of the term weapon can be obtained by the interested parties using Martin’s Criminal Code or Webster’s Dictionary – 1: something, as a gun, knife or club, that may be used to fight with; 2: means by which one contends against another.

The police, upon the report of violence, domestic dispute or abuse, enter the premises and look for any dangerous object, not necessarily a gun or firearm, which may constitute the weap-

on to be used against the officer or anybody else.

After separating disputing members she/he assesses the situation and applies suitable intervention technique.

The gun or firearm presumably used in the house of violence against the woman doesn’t really prove the point of Ms. Brooks, as her weapon can be really any object of persuasion, to commit the “Murder about to happen in Canada” cited in her letter.

The knife or baseball bat will do, and I’m sure the statistics will speak for themselves.

When it comes to her term ‘femicide’ derived from ‘Suicide’ or ‘Homicide’, I wish instead of this comparison that she could use more specifics, as how many, where or when.

I know of several friendly, non-deviant and peaceful households in the neighbourhood, which are loaded with firearms handled lawfully.

There is no murder or femicide around here, and most likely anywhere in Renfrew County,

LET’S MAKE CANCER For information about cancer, services or to make a donation

that I’ve heard of.

Does this far-stretched assumption balance this enormous case of breach of democracy for no particular reason, if Bill C68 would become a law?

Her unfortunate analogy of murder to the scrapping of Bill C68 as a long-awaited win of our rights and freedoms doesn’t decrease the number of acts of violence against women and children in Renfrew County, but she surely should see, as an intelligent person, that the end of gun registry is having nothing to do with it.

Expressions of appreciation to Mrs. Cheryl Gallant by Mr. Donald Broome (ChronicleGuide, Nov. 10) for her perseverance and successful pursuit of her goal ending in full completion is worth noting and to be shared by many others who are aware of Mrs. Gallant keeping her promises.

And there won’t be enough roses in this country to mark her victory.

NOTICE

Dealing with stress:

drumming or hot chocolate?

KATE BURMAN Co-op student

Don’t you hate it when life comes at you full force from all directions?

You have two reports and a project due, plus two tests to study for and your life has become one hectic mess. You have friends, teachers and group partners relying on you and all the while you are trying to ace your classes.

How do you handle life when it starts piling up?

One-third of all teenagers experience stress at least once a week. In school we are taught how to deal with bullies and how to say no to drugs and alcohol, but we are not taught how to deal with stress.

According to some professionals, stress education should be treated just as importantly as any other topic in a teenager’s educational curriculum.

Since we all have experienced stress, how do we manage it? I spoke with several students to find out how they deal with stress.

Creative outlets such as playing guitar, drumming, writing or singing really help some students keep their stress at bay.

Other students find balance chatting with someone, drinking a hot chocolate, taking a deep breath or exercising.

One student I spoke with found that when he procrastinated he would feel even more stressed out. It is good to have a plan in place and not leave everything to the last minute.

You need to find out what works for you.

The bottom line is that you need to stop and breathe because “brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.”

Besides a month or year from now are you even going to remember the marks you received?

TOWN OF ARNPRIOR In the matter of Sections 34(12), 51(20) of the Planning Act, the Town of Arnprior hereby gives NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING: (1) An application for the approval of a plan of subdivision (application 47-T-11006).

Subject Lands The County of Renfrew has received application No.47-T-11006 (replaces application 47-T-04003 which lapsed on July 26, 2011) for approval of a plan of subdivision for the lands described as part of Lots 4 and 5, Concession A, geographic Town of Arnprior and located at the intersection of Vanjumar and Russett Drives, as shown on the attached Key Map. Public Meeting A public meeting to inform the public of the proposed subdivision and zoning amendments will be held on Monday, December 13th, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at the Town Hall, 105 Elgin Street West, Arnprior.

Description of Applications Plan of subdivision - The proposed plan of subdivision consists of 119 single family residential lots, 153 multiple attached dwelling lots, an apartment block, parkland, stormwater management ponds and internal roads. Lots will front on new internal roads that will connect to Vanjumar and Russett Drives.

Effect of Zoning By-law Amendment – The proposed zoning amendment would realign the current zoning boundary lines to recognize the proposed layout of the draft plan of subdivision and to delete the Residential One – Exception Twenty-Two (R1-E22) zone designation which permitted a commercial development no longer being proposed.

Richard Scarsbrook is the author of the ‘Monkeyface Chronicles’, which was voted best young adult novel through the White Pine reading program.

Scarsbrook is the author of five books, several short stories and works of poetry, plus he instructs creative writing at Humber College and George Brown College.

And if that is not enough, he performs in several bands. All in all, he is quite the accomplished man.

On Oct. 17, during period one at Arnprior District High School, Scarsbrook gave a book talk, shared the inspirations for his stories and followed up with a question-and-answer session for all Grade 10 students. He taught everyone a valuable lesson in that they need to work continually on their talent to improve, whether their talent is writing, sports or music.

After his Q&A session, he gave a writers’ workshop for 25 interested students.

He provided the students with tips and

As the students experimented on these skills they shared their writing and helpful feedback was given all around.

What the students enjoyed the most, though, was a chocolate milk and cookie break that definitely helped their writing juices flow.

Home care workers in Renfrew County could be going out on strike soon.

However, despite an impasse in talks with Paramed Home Care, the union is optimistic talks will resume soon with a conciliator.

Members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU/NUPGE) employed by Paramed Home Care in Renfrew County have delivered a 95 per cent strike vote to back their bargaining team.

OPSEU/NUPGE filed for conciliation after the last day at the negotiating table in response to the employer’s position that Paramed could not discuss any monetary items unless the union agreed to a zero per cent wage increase.

The union told the employer this stand was unacceptable.

The union points out that Paramed Home Care is owned

Sonnenburg, a chartered accountant, comes to RVH from the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital, where he had served as vice-president of finance and support services since 2002.

Randy Penney, RVH president and CEO, said that Sonnenburg is an excellent choice for the senior management position because of “his vast hospital experience and financial background.”

Penney noted that, besides his financial expertise, Sonnenburg has considerable experience in managing various support operations at the Arnprior hospital and Grove Nursing Home, including information technology, housekeeping, laundry, material management, building services, food services and capital planning.

Sonnenburg worked at the Arnprior hospital for 18 years, including a stint as interim CEO in 2003.

Before joining the Arnprior hospital staff, he worked for an accounting firm.

He graduated with a bachelor of commerce from Carleton University in 1990 and received his chartered accountant designation in 1993.

Sonnenburg said he looks forward to joining the RVH staff.

FAMILY TRADITIONS IN PAKENHAM

The deadline for nominating an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year is Wednesday, Nov. 30.

“Support our leaders of tomorrow by nominating someone today,” urges the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA), of which the ChronicleGuide is a member.

For many years, the prestigious Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards program has acknowledged the best of Ontario’s youth. But the public’s help is needed to continue to recognize outstanding young people.

That’s why people are urged to nominate someone aged 6-17 years, who are either: • Involved in worthwhile community service;

• Contributing to the community while living with a disability; • Performed an act of heroism in the past year; • ‘Good kids’ who show a commitment to making life better or do things not normally expected of someone their age.

From this year’s junior citizen nominations, 12 will be chosen as final recipients and invited to an awards ceremony next spring. As well, each young person nominated will receive a Certificate of Recognition from their local community newspaper.

Nomination forms are available at the Chronicle-Guide office in Arnprior, online at www.ocna.org or by emailing jr.citizen@ocna.org.

By TRACEY TONG They fundraised, cycled, and supported local cancer research to the tune of $1.8 million.

Recently, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation recognized its top fundraisers in September’s Ride the Rideau, fuelled by Nordion – a 100-kilometre Ottawa to Merrickville bike tour in support of research at The Ottawa Hospital – for their outstanding contributions and to show them the impact of their fundraising.

The event, which raised $2.7 million in just two years, has quickly grown to become the top cancer fundraiser in eastern Ontario. This year, more than 715 riders – from Starbucks baristas to CEOs of major corporations – took part in the event.

The top fundraising team for the second year was the Brick Peddlers, led by event champion Robert Merkley of Merkley Supply Inc. Ottawa’s construction and homebuilding industry has embraced the event – other teams recognized included ones from the Ottawa Construction Association, Minto, Boone Plumbing and Heating Supply, and PCL, among others.

Individual riders who raised $10,000 or more were also inducted into the Peloton Club at the event. The top fundraiser was Mike Caletti, who raised $68,988. Other members included Dr. Joel Werier, Mike Bray, Greg Capello, Claude Des Rosiers, Roger Greenberg, David Herlihey, Greg Kane, Neil Maholtra, Brock Marshall, Robert Merkley, and Charles Armand Turpin.

“The overwhelming support that we have received from some of the biggest names in the Ottawa business community shows how crucial cancer research is,” said Tim Kluke, President and

CEO of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

CEO of title sponsor Nordion Steve West, who also took part in the ride, said as a company, “Nordion is extremely proud to support Ride the Rideau as it continues to contribute to cancer research that will benefit patients in the Ottawa region, and around the world.”

Nature

15 November 17 2011 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE

In Nature, what you see may not be what is there casts shade on the belly. If the animal were uniformly coloured, the shadow would cause the belly to be darker than the back.

The resulting 3-D effect would impart depth to the animal and make it more visible. However, by falling on a pale belly, the shadow created by the back helps even out the animal’s colouration, making it appear “flat” and not stand out strongly against the background.

This camouflage principle is called “countershading” or “obliterative shading.” Nature photographers actually prefer the shadow-created 3-D effect when they do floral or landscape portraits; on heavily overcast days there are no shadows and the resulting images are “flat” and dimensionless.

Of course, camouflage only works if an animal remains motionless. As soon as it moves, the deer becomes a visible target, which is why a deer alerted to a threat goes motionless, and waits to see if its camouflage saves the day.

With so many deer present in our area, it appears that countershading has saved many days.

IAN STUPP Pet Talk

Winter brings us all kinds of coat challenges with conditions ranging from snow to freezing rain to five degrees and then back down to minus 15.

Our homes are heated at this time of year and forced air natural gas can be hard on coats and electric baseboard heating is dry.

When the temperatures increase, our pets coats start shedding, then as the temperature lowers, their coats tighten up. This constant up and down makes for a coat nightmare and if not looked after your pet may end up being shaved right in the middle of a cold snap.

Realistically when a coat is thick and full, which most pet owners think is the way to keep them warm and cuddly for the winter months, is actually far from the truth. A coat that is not well maintained throughout the winter months has absolutely no thermal properties and, therefore, is not keeping your pet warm at all.

Think of it like wearing a down jacket full of holes and heading out the door on a cold winter day. Yes, you’re wearing a down jacket. However, it won’t keep you warm if the jacket is full of holes.

To make matters worse, a matted coat introduced to water (snow, slush and freezing rain) mats even more, making it so tight against the skin that the only humane way to remove is to shave it off.

Another analogy would be like walking around all day with a very tight ponytail. Could you imagine the headache you

would have and how uncomfortable you would be.

I hear owners complain that their pets hate being groomed because they fight, bite and run away. I would hate it too if you were pulling at me, because I had mats so deep that they could not be removed easily and painlessly. That is why it is very important that pet’s coats are combed and brushed out on a regular basis.

As well, they should visit a professional groomer to have the undercoat removed, making home grooming more manageable.

The other misconception I hear is the use of a detangler or conditioner. Introducing oil to the coat is ridiculous. That’s basically what’s in those products and trying to detangle an entire dog because you were negligent in maintaining its coat in the first place is like trying to find a large bandaid after swimming in shark infested waters.

Those products work well in situations where you have an otherwise perfect coat and you want to remove a little tat.

Comb and brush time is also a great time to bond with your pet. It’s a great time to get down on the floor and show them just how much you love them and how you are willing to keep them as beautiful as they deserve to be.

A happy healthy coat will result in a happy and healthy pet.

Kippen Road Tartan Weaving is one of four first ever winners of the Rural Rambler’s Choice Awards.

The McNab-Braeside business won the Arts & Culture prize when the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA) announced the awards last week.

Kippen Road Tartan Weaving was one of several stops on the Rural Ramble’s arts and culture weekend Oct. 1-2.

This year’s Rural Ramble, which featured four theme weekends, saw the introduction of two new additions – the Rural Ramble Passport Draw and the Rural Rambler’s

Choice Awards. The passports included a spot for Ramblers to vote for their favourite Rural Ramble site (one per theme weekend).

The other winners are: Adventure & Exploration - Bonnechere Museum Fossil Hunt; Agriculture & Food - Opeongo Mountain Meadow Soap; History & Heritage - McDougall Mill Museum.

The completed passports were entered into a draw for a prize pack featuring unique

gifts from participating Rural Ramble sites and valued at over $500. The winner of the first ever Rural Ramble Passport Contest is Hayley Cooper, a student at Carleton University. She and three friends visited four sites over the Agriculture and Food weekend.

Upon learning she had won the passport draw, Cooper exclaimed, “I’m delighted to re-

ceive this. The Rural Ramble was a fantastic experience.”

“All of the Rural Ramble sites deserve congratulations for putting on a great event, but the Rural Rambler’s Choice Awards winners merit special recognition,” said OVTA communications co-ordinator Lau-

ren McIllfaterick. “They went above and beyond and offered Ramblers educational and exceptionally entertaining experiences.”

For more information on the event, including how to become an official Rural Ramble site, visit ottawavalley.travel, facebook.com/ruralramble, or contact lmillfaterick@countyrenfrew.on.ca.

Charlotte and Hal Leitch enjoy a $5,000 bounty of gift cards for local restaurants and grocery stores after winning the Arnprior Lions Club's food raffle.

Artist’s latest print reflects local forest industry’s past Local artist Paul Perreault has just released the latest print in his local heritage collection entitled ‘End of an Era’.

It joins his two other popular heritage images, ‘Return to Braeside’ and ‘Bridge to the Past’.

This painting is a snapshot in time of Gillies Mill in Braeside, as the artist remembers it during its prime.

In the early morning hours, a tugboat approaches the mill through the morning mist. The windows of the mill glow with warm light while the sun breaks the horizon in the east.

Perreault’s inspiration to do this painting came while boating past the now vacant land where the local landmark once stood.

“It was so odd to pass by and not see a hint of the old brick mill, the chimneys, the stacks of lumber or the dry kilns that once stood on the property,” he said.

The lumber mills that once served as the economic backbone for many Ottawa Valley communities were a fixture along the Ottawa River for generations.

The last mill standing in this area was Gillies Mill in Braeside, employing hundreds of local families and producing millions of board feet of white pine lumber.

After changing hands and failed attempts to keep the mill going in its later years, it finally succumbed to the wrecking ball in 2007.

“My generation was the last in the area to grow up with the sight of tugboats making late night voyages down the Ottawa River or to watch workers wrestling logs with pike poles,” said Perreault.

er heritage collection prints on his website at www.paulperreault.ca by dropping into Braeside Home Furnishings.

Perreault will be hosting a special open house in his Studio Gallery this Saturday, Nov. 19 from noon to 9 p.m. for anyone that wishes to drop in.

Anyone dropping in that day will be given a ballot for a chance to win a framed limited edition print of his painting entitled ‘Christmas Visit’.

His studio can be found at 19 Green Meadow Rd., just over the bridge on the Madawaska head pond off White Lake Road.

“We were the last to skin our knees running the gauntlet of white pine logs boomed up at the local beach or to hear the screech of the noon whistle echoing from the mill. Our lumber days will likely be relegated to the history books forever, but I hope this painting will serve to remind us of the many fond memories we share from this closed chapter of our heritage.

“I’d also like this painting to pay tribute to the long line of men and women that labored there and the bold entrepreneurial spirit that made it a reality,” he said.

The ADHS senior girls basketball team emerged victorious over RCI in the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association championship game in Arnprior last Thursday. The fast-paced game was a nailbiter up to the final seconds. ADHS led visiting RCI by the slimmest of margins, 33-31, with only 10 seconds left on the clock. The game was decided only after RCI gave up a foul shot, which ADHS then followed with a clean basket to clinch the championship trophy 36-31.

Senior Redmen win another hoop title The Arnprior District High School Redmen seniors girls basketball team won another Renfrew County championship last week and the Junior girls came oh so close.

In an exciting title game reminiscent of past classic battles between ADHS and RCI, the senior Redmen edged the Raiders 36-31 Nov. 10 to capture

this year’s Upper Ottawa high school title.

Raiders coach Adam Noack called it a game to remember.

“We threw everything but the kitchen sink at them. We just came up short,” he said.

The Raiders had a 16-15 lead at halftime, but the Redmen went on a 9-1 run to open the third quarter and held an 11-

The Raiders fought back to within two points with 30 seconds left before the Redmen struck from the free throw line and added a last-minute basket to seal the verdict.

The Redmen hosted EOSSAA for AA schools today (Thursday) and Friday at the school.

The Raiders advanced to EOSSAA for A schools this week in Almonte.

ADHS, which went 9-0 in the regular season, beat Opeongo 56-20 in the Upper Ottawa Valley semi-final.

The Junior title game was also a barn-burner with undefeated Opeongo squeaking by the Redmen 40-37 Nov. 10. Kelly Clark

led Arnprior with 13 points.

ADHS, which finished second at 9-1 in the regular season, defeated third-place St. Joe’s 24-19 in the semi-final game.

Arnprior qualified for EOSSAA for AA schools in Kemptville this week. In its first game Wednesday, the Redmen lost 3922 to LaSalle of Kingston. Sarah Burnett, who scored six points, was named ADHS most valuable player of the game.

Senior Redman keep rolling in title quest The Arnprior Redmen senior football team took a giant step toward defending its provincial title by slamming the visiting Bayridge Blazers 56-6 in a hard-hitting EOSSAA semifinal football game in Arnprior Saturday.

Arnprior rolled to a convincing victory over the Kingston area representatives before at least a couple of hundred people at the Oattes field.

The win moves the undefeated Redmen into a clash with Seaway champions Brockville Collegiate Institute in Brockville this Saturday, Nov. 19 for the Eastern Ontario title. The game will be played at 1 p.m. at Commonwealth Public School near BCI. The victory follows on the heels of ADHS’s convincing 41-19 win over St. John’s of Perth in the Lanark-Renfrew championship game.

COUNCIL PROUD At Arnprior council’s meeting Monday, Mayor David Reid noted the Arnprior District High School teams “are doing us proud again.”

He praised both ADHS senior and football teams, as well as the girl’s rugby squad for winning titles recently. “Good luck to them in their upcoming games,” he said.

Juniors season ended by La Salle The Arnprior District High School Junior Redmen came up short to a powerful La Salle Black Knights team in the EOSSAA football semi-final game at ADHS Wednesday. The Black Knights of the Kingston area took control in the second half to come away with a 25-14 victory. With tempers flaring in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, the Black Knights ended the game by taking a knee to run down the remaining seconds on the clock.

The Arnprior District High School Redmen senior boys volleyball team made the semifinal of the Renfrew County high school playoffs before losing to eventual champion RCI. The Redmen, who finished the regular season in sixth place in the 10-team league with a 45 record, upset 7-3 Opeongo 3-2 in the quarterfinals.

Arnprior then lost 3-1 to RCI Nov. 10.

RCI pieced together two big comebacks to knock their arch-rivals out of contention 26-24, 25-14, 1825, 25-23.

The Raiders trailed the opening set 24-20, and were down by as much as seven in the fourth set, before outlasting ADHS. In the final, a fired-up RCI squad upset previously unbeaten St. Joe’s 3-1 to take the championship.

Remembrance Arnprior remembers SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

In a solemn and touching ceremony, Arnprior remembered Canada’s war heroes Nov. 11 at the cenotaph in front of Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital.

“Many people commented that it was a great service once again this year,” said Arnprior Legion Branch 174 president Ray Cunningham.

And news from the poppy campaign is good, too, said Cunningham.

“We were worried we were going to be down from last year, but we came in just a little bit over last year’s fundraising total,” he said.

Members of the cadets helped set the bar high, manning the stations for the first weekend and raising $4,355.95.

Troops from Canadian Forces Base Petawawa joined members of the Arnprior Legion Branch 174 and individuals from a host of agencies and organizations in the parade to the cenotaph.

Photos by Sherry Haaima

Capt. Grant Smith of CFB Trenton kindly offered local veteran Maurice Robillard a ride in his 1972 Corvette Stingray. “It was really good,” said Robillard. “You pretty much have to get right on your knees to get in the thing,” he added with a laugh.

Students from area schools are among those laying wreaths at the Arnprior cenotaph in front of the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital.

The Arnprior Community Choir, led by director Lisa Webber, provides music for the Nov. 11 ceremony.

This sentry wears a poppy not only on his chest but as a tattoo.

Legion officials say this year’s ceremony was quite well-attended, despite cold weather and a few snow flurries.

Arnprior Mayor David Reid lays a wreath on behalf of the town.

IN MEMORIAM

(nee Laventure) With sadness, we announce the passing of Jessie Whyte at the Elisabeth Bruyere Health Centre, Ottawa on Monday, November 14th, 2011.

Daughter of the late John James Laventure and the late Christena Elizabeth Clark. Predeceased by her husband Dr. J. Clinton Whyte, her brothers and their wives, Clark Laventure (Mildred Stewart) and Harold Laventure (Jean Badham), as well as great niece Alexandra Wicks. Family was an important part of Jessie’s life and she is lovingly remembered by nephews and nieces: Reginald Laventure (Nancy Iredale, deceased), Suzanne McBurney (Terence), Donna Good (Richard), Douglas Laventure, Nancy Wicks (Thomas), David Laventure (Bonnie Carr), Fay Bucholtz and Robin Laventure. Cherished by numerous great nieces and nephews, and great-great nieces and nephews. She will also be missed by her caring “young” friends, many of whom she met during her volunteer activities.

Jessie first began her working career at Taber Business College in Smith Falls. She moved to Ottawa during World War II, working in Munitions and Supply, Naval Section, and then in Industrial Security. After the war, she transferred to Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). A year later, she was seconded to the Community Planning Association and worked there for 12 years, becoming Assistant Director, Editor and Conference Officer. She then returned to CMHC, where she was appointed Recruitment and Employment Officer. She later became Training Officer at CMHC and then was promoted to Director of Training. She eventually moved to the CMHC Ministerial Secretariat as Assistant Director, Ministerial Briefings.

Volunteer Service was also an important part of Jessie’s life, serving for many years in leadership roles with the Professional and Business Women and on the Board of the Glebe Centre; becoming the first female President. Jessie was made an Honorary Member of the Glebe Board and received the Edwin Gardner Award for contributions to the community. She also served on the Council on Aging and the Ottawa-Carleton District Health Council and served on numerous committees. Jessie married Dr. J. Clinton Whyte in October, 1969 and they shared their work, and their love of and commitment to family, the arts, volunteer work and travel until his death in December, 1980. Family and friends are invited to the Sand Point Public Cemetery, Rhody’s Bay for a graveside service to take place on Saturday morning, November 19th at 10:30. A luncheon will follow in the Pilon Family Funeral Home Reception Centre, 50 John Street North, Arnprior.

(613-623-5194) In memory of Jessie, a donation to the Salvation Army; the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind or The Ottawa Mission would be appreciated.

Passed away November 18, 2010 We wish so much we wouldn’t cry, The way we did that day.

While thinking of the many things, We didn’t get to say.

We know how much you loved us, As much as we loved you.

But when tomorrow starts without you, We’ll try to understand, That Jesus came and called your name, And took you by the hand.

He said your place was ready, In Heaven far above, And that you had to leave behind, All those you truly love, So when tomorrow starts without you, We won’t feel so far apart, For every time we think of you, You’re right here in our hearts.

CHARLOTTE LEITCH Prior Players

Last weekend’s Prior Players performance of Norm Foster’s ‘The Long Weekend’ was a huge success.

The one-liners started from the minute the curtain went up and the audience laughed right through to the end.

Director Helen Bird has led this cast of actors into an amazing production.

Dave Anthony as Roger and Colleen Lacasse as Abby set the stage with a rolling flow of jibs and jabs.

The more serious Max played by Grey Masson adds his own sarcastic humour, while kind-hearted Wynn played by Kim Oliver is a caring psychologist whose sweet charm turns with the twists of fate in the play.

Producer Don Lacasse has done a great job organizing this production.

HERE COMES THE SHOW

Above, Karen Gutz is surrounded by beautiful wedding gowns at last Sunday’s Bridal Shower in Arnprior. Simply Beautiful bridal boutique on John Street was one of dozens of participants at the annual show. Left, Cheryl RoeslerKargus shows off some of her Simple & Pretty cakes and sweets just inside the door at the Nick Smith Centre.

Above, an actual wagon with a flat screen showing rides is an example of the Bridal Show being as much about entertaining browsers as it is about serving them. The Shawn Pulley display was a hit, as was the interactive photography booth and free treats at many other booths.

Left, Marion Young of Prior Engagements shows off many of the party and event rentals offered at the Staye Court Drive business.
