ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE - September 22 2011

Emergency workers the real heroes: Gardner Continued from front The couple was checking on a River Road property for Gardner’s parents, who were away, when a barking dog alerted them to a neighbouring home filled with smoke. They alerted the home’s owner, who lived nearby and came quickly with keys to open the tenant’s locked door. While Gillan and the owner called 911, Gardner entered the building, located the unconscious woman who had soot marks and blood on her robe and carried her to safety. Gillan began first aid and Gardner went back into the home twice to check for possible remaining occupants. Fire and other emergency personnel responded soon afterwards and took over care of the patient and scene. LIFE SAVERS “It’s my opinion as well as the opinion of the rest of the officers in our fire department that their heroic efforts contributed to saving a life,” said fire Chief Ken Walton.

A special meeting of McNab-Braeside council scheduled for Monday, Sept. 26 at 1 p.m. for discussions with Ministry of Transportation officials has been cancelled. Township staff received late word that MTO representatives would not be able to

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

A town committee will ask council for the first time to consider creating a multiuse sports field and tennis clubhouse in Arnprior. The recreation advisory committee has identified a need for more space for high school rugby and football, along with organized soccer and tennis. Arnprior District high school teachers Glenn Wallace and Andrew Schneider have written in the past and recently to the town to ask for additional fields, but before now the issue was a non-starter. Now, with the blessing of a committee, there is a good chance town staff will suggest possible locations and costs. It could come up as a possible expenditure during budget season – traditionally held before the new year. “It’s something I support because we are under utilized,” said Coun. Mark Willmer, who chairs the committee, at a Sept. 19 meeting. Committee member Andrew Hawel, a former pro tennis player, wants to start a tennis club and ask the provincial Trillium Foundation for $75,000 grant over a three-year period. He said the money could be used to bring the existing high school tennis courts up to standard with new surfaces, fences and other materials. The time would allow for

the town to prepare another site. However, his vision includes the use of lights so residents could also use the courts. Knowing it costs money, he would favour converting at least one of the MacLean Avenue baseball diamonds to four courts and a clubhouse, which would require minimal grading. “To have something in town like this would be a huge draw,” Hawel said. “There are a lot of kids in this town and they need lots of stuff to do in sports to keep out of trouble.” Tennis instructor Hyacinth Chatterton agrees. The Arnprior residents travels to Almonte to teach tennis, but would rather stay in town. According to her 2007 files, 95 kids and 35 adults signed up to play in Arnprior. “I think the need is still high,” Chatterton said. “I’m sure the interest is still there.” Although the ball diamonds are not used every night, losing one could be controversial. Still, the committee agreed that athletes are trending away from baseball to other sports. Another possibility is to use the 5 per cent of greenspace that subdivision developers are provincially mandated to set aside as a location. Municipalities decide what goes on the greenspace or accepts cash in lieu.

A third option is using space behind Walter Zadow Public School. However, if students are using the facilities, and particularly if they are to be located on or near school property, the town will likely ask the school boards to commit funds to the projects. School board representatives could be invited to a future committee meeting. The multi-use sportsfield and tennis courts are separate projects, Willmer cautioned, but agreed they might be on the same location. Still, he wants staff to investigate potential sites free of influence from the committee or council.

He said both would attract visitors and promote healthy living among residents. BOARDED HOCKEY RINKS The committee touched on the idea of having at least one boarded rink for outdoor hockey, similar to those in West Carleton which have a league that sees youth from different villages playing each other on Saturday mornings. Hawel noted that even MacNab-Braeside has a boarded rink in winter. The issue might be explored in greater depth at a future meeting.

Waterfront potential seen by committee Continued from front During the tour, chair Lynn Grinstead, town planner Robin Smith, and committee members Deborah McCorkell-Hoy, Dennis Turpin and Mark Nibourg tossed around several ideas for improving the waterfront and strengthening its link with the downtown. The committee also received ideas in a recent tour of the Pembroke waterfront. Grinstead said community and business partnerships will play a key role in upgrading the area. The trail’s start is being improved by the town square project. It was noted that a “full-blown” marina with a restaurant would be a major attraction. That would likely need private investment money.

They also suggested a one-dock access be implemented at the present marina to allow for a more esthetically pleasing trail in the area. The committee agreed that better benches, more buffers, strategic viewpoints, improved lighting, a marine gas station, kayak and canoe rentals, and crushed rock or mulch on the trail are on the wish list. They expressed shock at the condition of the trail at the Robert Simpson Park end, suggested it is in such poor condition it is hazardous to users. Committee members agreed the waterfront area should be a major focus during the 150th anniversary projects next year and in the Community Improvement initiatives.

Town print contest deadline extended

A local group set their sights on Robert Simpson Park as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup Saturday. While organizer Eric Burton says that his group finds less large items, trash like cigarette butts continue to litter the waterfront. Last year, Burton’s crew collected over 500 cigarette butts from the non-smoking shoreline. Left, Samantha Dougherty works with Judith Sandles to clean up the beach. Below, from right, back row, are Eric and Amanda Burton, Judith Sandles, NDP candidate Brian Dougherty and his wife Kim, and in front, Elijah and Hana Burton , Samantha and Sydney Dougherty, Parker, Melanie, and Isaac Bradley.

The deadline for one half of the town’s 150th anniversary committee contests had been extended to Oct. 17. The winner of the logo contest has been chosen, but the nomination period for the 150th anniversary commemorative print has been increased to allow applicants to produce sketches. Most of the entries provided

small finished works, but what the committee needs sketches, explained committee chairwoman Lynn Grinstead. The committee thanks the entrants, but realizes more time is necessary to allow the proposed prints to be modified to fit the contest criteria. For more details about the contest, see Page 38.

Mischief to road rage in a spit second What is it that would cause a driver to fly off the rational rails of life and deliberately flatten a kid’s bicycle? Surely it had to have been more than just two boys spitting at his pickup truck as it passed by, says West Carleton community police officer Peter Jeon. Perhaps the driver was having one of those bad days and it just happened that his life clock was fully wound up when he passed by two 14-year-old boys goofing around at the side of the road. Because of the somewhat unpredictable nature of human beings, the boys got more than they bargained for when they decided to poke at the driver by spitting at his truck. While picking up the pieces to an old hockey helmet that the boys found in the ditch and had just smashed up on the roadway late Tuesday afternoon, a pickup truck passed one of the boys in such a manner that it prompted him to spit at it. According to the boys, the truck then stopped and backed up at a high rate of speed, almost hit another car that was driving by, and pulled right in front of them. Through an open window the driver said to one boy: “Do you have a problem,” to which he answered “No.” The driver then stated, “Well watch this!” Looking on in disbelief the boys’ watched the truck pull onto the shoulder of the road and drive over one of their bikes, flattening it to the ground and then backing over it again. Without another word, the driver pulls his truck back onto the roadway and drives away. Before the truck has a chance to disappear out of sight, witness captures the licence plate number and gives it to the investigating officer. Police have identified the driver and continue to investigate the incident.

Sparse crowd for bevy of ag questions STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

John Yakabuski, who is seeking a third straight term at Queen’s Park, faced off with candidates participating in their first-ever allcandidates debate Wednesday evening. The debate at the Cobden agricultural hall consisted primarily of their answers to written questions, mostly on agricultural and energyrelated topics, from the audience. Yakabuski’s opponents were John O’Leary of the Liberals and Brian Dougherty of the New Democratic Party. Green Party candidate Kyle Jones did not attend. Major points of difference included the different approaches by the Liberals and Conservatives regarding FIT (Feed-In Tariff) and micro-FIT energy options for Ontario businesses. Other topics of contention included nuclear energy, risk management programs for farmers, the future of family farms, and the need to fund drainage infrastructure. At the outset, Dougherty noted the NDP understands the farmer, partly because of its roots. “The NDP definitely wants to work with farmers. The NDP was started by farmers on the Prairies and the NDP will always represent the farmers.”

He also stressed the importance of risk management and how the NDP wants to reward farmers (with tax incentives to hire new workers), encourage young farmers (with the introduction of apprenticeship grants), and expand the buy-local mentality (by putting Ontario produce and livestock in the grocery stores, provincial buildings, post-secondary institutes and hospitals). The Conservatives’ platform includes a permanent risk management program for farmers. He also said the Liberals only this year brought in a risk management program, after a lot of arm-twisting by the Conservative MPPs. O’Leary, who lives in Toronto, spoke during his introductory remarks about his family connections in the county, namely the Duggans who came to Mount St. Patrick as farmers in the 1840s. He also acknowledged that the Liberals’ risk management program took a while to arrive, but now that it’s in place, he said the party looks to move forward with that and other initiatives for agriculture. PRIORITIES The audience’s first question was about the candidates’ priorities vis-a-vis education, health care, taxes and energy. The first

answer came from O’Leary, who is a senior education advisor to Premier Dalton McGuinty. Emphasis will remain on education as all-day kindergarten expands to every school across Ontario, but more needs to be done to continue to bring more doctors to rural Ontario, said O’Leary. He also referred to the Conservatives’ promised 10 per cent energy rebate on hydro bills. Yakabuski said the Conservatives will invest $6 billion more in health care, which is equal to the Liberals’ promise, and (like the Liberals) support full implementation of full-day kindergarten by 2014. Yakabuski said teachers will also be given increased freedom in the classroom. “If they want to teach phonics, they can teach phonics. We want to make sure there are no cell phones in the school, but that should be left up to the teacher to make that determination.”Yakabuski said the PCs, like the Liberals, would retain the 10 per cent energy rebate, but also remove the harmonized sales tax from hydro bills, remove the debt retirement bill for the same bills (“because you have already paid your share”) and remove the HST from your home heating bill. Dougherty said the NDP will also take the HST off hydro bills, gasoline and diesel, lower small-business

tax, and offer tax credits to farmers hiring new employees. He said the NDP will also focus on rural development in other ways, by opening more schools in rural areas “so they don’t have that disconnect with their hometown,” and eliminate the education debt of the first 200 doctors coming to rural Ontario to work.

ENERGY ISSUES A major point of difference was the microFIT and FIT energy programs. The NDP and Liberals say they will continue to support those programs. The Conservatives say they will not, while looking at other ways to create green energy. “I’m quite excited about microFIT programs, and the story is many around Ontario are as well,” said O’Leary. “More than 20,000 have applied for microFIT programs, and more than 11,000 are currently hooked up right now. Those are helping our rural communities …helping us get hold of coal plants and helping ensure there aren’t smog days in places like the Ottawa Valley.” He also noted the program will continue to be supported, as a way of providing 50,000 jobs, that would be at risk if the Conservatives come to power.

Matheson was participating in support of her son’s Team Reinhardt in Erin, Ontario.

Candidates Continued from Page 6 Yakabuski had a different take. “We’ve made it clear we will end the FIT program,” said Yakabuski, noting if all 37,000 FIT applications were approved, they would create less than 350 megawatts of power. Yakabuski, who is the Conservatives’ energy critic, said when “the Liberals say these will shut down the coal plants, that is just not true. The Nanticoke (coal plant) is 4,000 megawatts at its capacity, so they’re just not giving you the straight goods.” He added that the FIT program doesn’t deserve to stay in place, because it pays exorbitant subsidies for users of solar and wind energy “because it’s a darling for the Liberals.” Yakabuski stressed that his party is keen on using green energy, but not the way the Liberals are. “We’re not going to give you a gravy train.” Yakabuski also said some FIT applicants have experienced difficulty being connected to the Ontario grid despite making huge investments in their FIT infrastructure. Yakabuski called that shameful. O’Leary countered by saying it would be shameful to cancel the FIT program, because tens of thousands of people, like farmers and small business people and trades people, who would lose jobs in such fields as bio-mass, solar and wind energy. “It would be a terrible loss to Renfrew, Arnprior and other communities throughout the Valley …,” said O’Leary. NDP definitely supports the FIT program, but with the need for a higher biomass payback rate (which is currently

under negotiation), said Dougherty. One question was about what the candidates’ parties will do to increase family doctors in rural communities,. Yakabuski replied that the Conservatives would increase the number of medical residency numbers back in Ontario so they don’t have to study elsewhere. As for new doctors from other countries, Yakabuski said his party would provide language training for those doctors, because communication is key to good medicine. O’Leary said one of his cousins is considering coming to Renfrew County to practise medicine. He noted the Liberals have increased Ontario positions for medical students by 40 per cent after previous government cutbacks cost Ontario thousands of doctors and nurses. In their summary comments, the candidates took different approaches. Yakabuski said he has learned a great deal on the job − “It doesn’t happen overnight,” he said, noting he has “reached a point that I can be a more effective member than even before.” O’Leary said he had never participated in an all-candidates debate or run for political office. “But I think there’s a lot I have to offer, and certainly I would be honoured to be your representative,” he added. “I have experience working in the highest levels of the Ontario government, as the premier’s senior education advisor. I have the skills and the track record there, and a deep love and understanding for the Ottawa Valley and Renfrew County.” In closing, Dougherty tossed a compliment and detractor Yakabuski’s way. “People say he is a fantastic man, but it’s not the man but the party you’re voting for. And the NDP are fighting for the little people.”

Look at it this way – how often do you have a two-term Liberal premier, whom you either love or hate, taking a third kick at the can? It hasn’t happened since 1990 and, either way you vote, you can make history – you can make Dalton’s day, or send him off to early retirement. There are plenty of editorials out there that are going to tell you it is your civic duty to vote, that if you don’t, you have no right to complain. These are all valid points – but they’re not necessarily fun ones. What is fun is this: you get to be like Donald Trump and fire people on Oct. 6. Or, at least deny people the chance to get a job. We all like to believe that people only vote for altruistic, civic-minded reasons. But you can also vote for petty, personal reasons too. Whatever your reasons for voting, as the sneaker ad says, just do it. You now have more time than ever to do it. After you’re finished reading this, you can fold our paper up and march on over to a ballot box from now until Election Day and mark your X. You can also vote by mail, on campus, from your hospital bed, or at advance polls. (And if you are voting from hospital, we hope you feel better soon.) Turnout during the last provincial vote of October 2007 was at an all-time low, with only 52.6 per cent of eligible voters casting their ballots, according to Elections Ontario. You’d have to go all the way back to the previous low set in the Jazz Age, in June of 1923, for their contender of 54.7 per cent. (What a snooze the ’23 vote must’ve been.) But we shouldn’t be so smug. The October 2003 vote, which saw Ernie Eves’ Tories turfed after eight years of Eves/Harris rule, still saw low turnout at 56.9 per cent, and that was when people were riled up enough to throw a government out of office. Well, that was before the big crash of ’08. Boy, we certainly have a lot more on our plates now. Voting takes so little time and makes such a lasting impact. They’re mopping things up in Libya, Tunisia and Egypt and are eagerly awaiting their chance to vote for the first time ever. The worst we’ll have to contend with on our way to the polls is some traffic and lousy weather.

Thanks for paving our road To the editor: I have been following newspaper accounts of Arnprior Council’s discussions regarding Van Dusen Drive. Our area seems to have been viewed as a sparsely populated remote outpost. The 2011 Arnprior telephone book does not include Van Dusen either in the index or on the map. We are a group of 24 families, many being multi-vehicle households (approximately 47 vehicles in total). There are also children who require a regular school bus. Because we don’t live in a bubble, other vehicles use the road also. When the residents attended a council meeting as a group, our spokesperson, Robert Verch, indicated the deplorable condition of the road. Others spoke of safety factors and possible damage to vehicles. Thus began Council’s discussions of possible solutions. Then came the disclosure that money had been allocated to the annexed area, annexation that occurred in the 1980s. This revelation appeared to surprise even some members of Council. One councillor is quoted as saying there are areas of the town in worse shape than Van Dusen. We can identify with those residents, sharing their frustration and concern. However, the funds used for the improvement of our road could only be applied to the annexed area. We do, of course, pay our share of municipal taxes and we also have a vote. Van Dusen Drive has now had a makeover. The ditches have been well-cleared and the resurfacing was done without inconvenience to the residents. Thank you Mayor Reid, Reeve Stack and those councillors who listened to our collective voice and voted without reservation to get the job done without further delay.

Shame on the dog dish thief To the editor: During the hot summer months I bought a large dog dish. I kept the dog dish outside our shop, Lorne’s Electric on 77 Madawaska Street. We noticed that many people walked their dogs along this stretch of street and thought it would be a nice gesture to supply a drink of water for the thirsty dogs. Well some miserable, heartless, individual stole the dog’s water dish the weekend of Sept. 10. It is not the cost of the dish I am upset about, it is the simple principle of being so low as to steal an animal’s water source. Shame, shame, shame!

To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the people who made the Sept. 13 live broadcast of CTV News such a success. Approximately 250 residents joined us for the broadcast and fortunately the weather held out and it turned out to be a warm and sunny evening. First of all, I would like to thank the cast and crew of CTV News for choosing to highlight our wonderful community. All of the crew members were extremely efficient and pleasant to work with and this helped the broadcast run very smoothly with the exception of a couple of very minor glitches. I would also like to thank all of the people who participated in the features including Douglas Scheels, a long-time Arnprior resident; Peter DeWolf of My FM Radio; Pierre and Helen Racette of Our Place in the ‘Prior; Dennis Harrington and Valley Heritage for their performance before and during the broadcast; and many others who were interviewed in the weeks preceding the broadcast. Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank Erin Clarke, our economic development officer, and Glenn Arthur and his staff from the Parks and Recreation Department for all of their assistance in helping to organize, promote and facilitate this event. We are very fortunate to live in such a special and beautiful town and it was fabulous to be able to show off a bit on the CTV nightly news. David Reid Arnprior mayor

Letters to the editor

To the editor: I was interested to read the letter to the editor from Betty Fevreau (ChronicleGuide, Sept. 15). The last time I saw her was at a special meeting of McNab-Braeside Council on July 18. That meeting was called by Miller to persuade council to give them a special exemption so they wouldn’t have to follow the new Township Noise Bylaw. Ms. Fevreau was part of the Miller team presenting their case and introduced by Tom Jones as working for Miller. Remember when Smiths owned the Braeside Quarry? They lived in the community, went to church here, their children went to school here, they golfed, they worked and played here, supported local teams, part of the very fabric of the community. And they were good neigh-

bours. It wasn’t always pleasant living next to an active quarry. But we put up with the drilling, blasting, crushing, heavy trucks, dust - they were just our neighbours and they were going about their business. And we loved living here. In 30 years of living here, we had never complained nor have we ever suggested this quarry not operate. I remember when one of the neighbours mentioned to Nick Smith that there were seven small children living at the top of Carmichael Sdrd., walking back and forth to one another’s homes. My neighbor was concerned about the danger from all the truck traffic. And just like that, the trucks stopped coming down Carmichael Sdrd. They put in a new entrance to the quarry so the

trucks were rerouted down Campbell Drive and away from our children. They cared. Speaking of our Noise Bylaw, I remember an incident when 1 worked for Smiths and had spent the night welding a crusher, building up the rollers that crushed the stone into smaller aggregate. When Nick Smith asked me the next day why I looked so tired, I told him I had been up welding in the quarry all night. Nick said nothing to me, but had that crusher broken down at some considerable expense and hauled into the Madawaska Street machine shop to be worked on there. He didn;t want to break the McNab-Braeside Noise Bylaw even that one time. Differences, eh? Good neighbours, looking after their employees, doing favours for people,

good corporate citizens. Differences. Noxious fumes in our air, loud generators with no acoustic housing, machinery running all night despite a Noise Bylaw, incredible truck traffic, storage of unbelievable quantities of fuel on the fractured limestone above our aquifers, the enjoyment of our property stolen from us, concerns expressed to a multinational company ignored or ridiculed. Differences. Bill MacMeechan Braeside

Taste the Valley Sept. 24

To the editor: I want to invite everyone to attend Taste of the Valley on Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Renfrew Armouries and Fairgrounds. I am excited this premier agricultural event will be making its debut in Renfrew starting at 8 a.m. Not only will you have a chance to meet many producers from all over the county, but all our Farmers’ Market Vendors will be at the Armouries that day as part of Taste of the Valley. For those who have not been to one of the previous Taste of the Valley events held in Cobden or Barry’s Bay or Petawawa, you will be amazed at what you will discover. You

ognition for their contributions were the Miller employees who donated their time to install new barriers and repair the roads. McNab-Braeside Township has a good example in the Burnstown Beach facility, to demonstrate just what a positive community effort can achieve. The council and administration are committed to improving the Braesi-

de Beach and Red Pine Bay park, and with community support progress will be made again next year. I think that your comments about the Miller Group’s good corporate citizenship are very true, and should be acknowledged by the community at large.

Differences apparent in quarry operation

Nature/Letter

Some animals get into a real rut this time of year

Michael Runtz Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way highlands still support a reasonable population. Here, female moose generally seek low-lying areas, not hilltops from which to summon their suitors. Beaver meadows - open grassy and sedgy habitats - are particularly favoured sites. So are boggy openings where Black Spruces give way to beds of Labrador Tea. The females advertise their sexual desire in two

ways. They give loud, mournful bawls that carry for many kilometres in the cold, dense air. They also release love scents in their urine. Their volatile pheromones drift through the night, invisible only to our dulled senses. They beckon bull moose, which detect them with an special organ buried inside their palate. When a willing female is detected they eagerly hone in on her location. As a bull approaches a cow, he tries to impress her with his prowess. With his great antlers he beats small trees and shrubs into submission. Dead branches are preferred targets for they rattle loudly when struck by the bony headgear. Moose grow antlers, not horns, which are skin outgrowths borne by goats. Antlers are shed each win-

ter and grow anew the following year while horns are permanent structures. Bulls also try to impress a cow by swaggering across a bog the way John Wayne sauntered across a saloon. Instead of swaying its hips a bull moose swings his antlers slowly back and forth, showing off their breadth and shape. Females select males that are well endowed for larger antlers reflect good health and maturity. As the only thing a bull invests in a cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offspring is his sperm, a female choose the best suitor that comes her way. By delaying mating for several days after a bull approaches her, a female could well end up with a superior male for larger and more powerful bulls quickly displace smaller antlered ones. Right now is an excellent time to attract bulls by imi-

tating the female love call. Cup your mouth with thumbs under your chin and pinch your nose with your forefingers as you moan issue a loud bawl that drops at the end. Wait half a minute then call again. If a male moose is within earshot he will make an appearance. However, if one does appear be prepared to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;No!â&#x20AC;?

September brings some of the finest settings in which to enjoy Nature. Goldenrod yellows and aster purples swathe the landscape as trees slowly discard their cloaks of green and join the explosion of colour. Dawn mists dance across glass-surfaced lakes and stars burn holes through the nocturnal abyss. The splendour of autumn has arrived. Late summer choruses of insects still serenade the evening, but these love-struck musicians no longer have the stage to themselves. Not far from our area, the haunting love songs of cow moose now join them in breaking the dark still of the night. One of the best places to hear this mournful call is Algonquin Park. While the eastern reaches of this great park have fewer moose largely because of the aboriginal hunt, the western

Recreation is alive and well in Arnprior. The town has a thriving youth recreation program that is evolving and growing and the latest selection of Arnprior as one of four communities across Canada to host a pilot Family Involvement Pass program is a testament to its success, say officials. “We’re really excited. It’s nice to know Arnprior is looked at as a town with progressive programs in place,” says youth co-ordinator Kayla Menkhorst. “It’s great to be able to

offer this to our community.” The distinction is likely a result of the success of the Grade 5 and 9 passes when they were introduced in a similar pilot project two years ago, says Menkhorst. Those passes provide free access to public skating and swimming at the Nick Smith Centre for the students in those grades. The program was a definite hit and something the town was pleased to be able to offer again, says Menkhorst. The family involvement pass works similarly, offering free access to public

swimming and skating for family members accompanying students in Grades 5 and 9. The pass covers activities from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2011. Registration is free. The family pass, while available to Grade 5s through the government, was extended by the recreation department to extend the access. Officials would like as many participants as possible to sign up before Sept. 29, when a focus group has been set up to help the government track the pilot program. It’s a win-win for everybody involved, says MenkArnprior Parks and Recreation Youth’s Kayla Menkhorst and Don Gougeon show off the passes that provide free access to public swimming and skating for Grade 5 and 9 students and their families.

This program runs for one hour immediately after the dismissal bell rings once a week at each school. Students at St. Joseph’s will be walked over to Walter Zadow for the program. The program is free for all students at the Arnprior schools and $10 at McNab school (free with the Grade 5 Community Access Pass). Mondays are at McNab School, Tuesdays at John XXIII, Wednesdays at Walter Zadow and Thursdays at AJ Charbonneau. Registration is due no later than Sept. 30. M.Y.

Spikes: Ontario Volleyball has modified the game of volleyball to make it more accessible and fun for youth in grades 4-6.

Playing three per side, everyone gets to touch the ball. The drills and games are designed so that everyone has lots of fun and learns volleyball skills like never before. And, most importantly, we teach communication and sportsmanship, as the root of being a good athlete.This program, new in Arnprior. starts Thursday, Oct. 20 and runs for eight weeks, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The program costs $80. We have a registration night on Oct. 5 from 6 to 8 p.m., where you can register and meet the coach. We are accepting registrations before that, so come on by the Nick Smith Centre to reserve your spot. Cooking: Our cooking program is one of our most popular programs, being filled up throughout the year. Our first cooking of the year is a special session, with it being at Taste of the Valley on Saturday, Oct. 15 in Cobden. We will supply the transportation and all supplies youth will need to make locally grown delicious meals. Register now to be a chef at the event for $20 or register to be a volunteer (high school youth and adults only). Registration is due by Friday, Oct. 7. This is the last week to contact us if you are interested in a Family Involvement pass for family members of Grade 5 or Grade 9 students. Grade 5 parents who are receiving a family pass are invited to short focus group meeting on Sept. 29 from either noon to 1 p.m. or 7-8 p.m. The Arnprior Life book is out, flyers are distributed and Facebook is up and rolling. For more information, contact Kayla at the Nick Smith Centre at 613-623-7301.

More than 20 families have signed up for the pass so far. The youth recreation calendar of events is chockfull of activities, says Menkhorst, with at

horst. “It promotes quality family time – something that’s so important especially since everyone is so busy in this day and age,” she says.

Final farmers market day of the season Oct. 8 SHERRY HAAIMA

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

If you haven’t yet visited the Elgin Street Farmers Market in Arnprior you only have a few weeks left in the season. Oct. 8 is the final day for the market, and president and marketing manager Mark Gaetz says it’s been quite a good year. “Of course, the big change was moving the market from Wednesdays to Saturdays,” says Gaetz. “The idea was to attract more vendors and allow the community time to come and shop on the weekend.” And while the market was being run under the umbrella of Arnprior’s Business Improvement Association, it is now governed by its own board of directors. The board is starting to look at different features, including entertainment. The website has been improved and includes an online survey Gaetz hopes will help determine what shoppers would like to see. There are plenty of ideas being bandied about for the future, and the board is taking things one step at a time. “Ideally, we’d like to be able to have a few more vendors and possibly have the street closed down for added features like petting zoos and entertainment.” Gaetz says he and the board hope to not only boost vendors with a growing market but to attract more shoppers to the downtown.

Mark and Sandra Gaetz of Gableridge Farm are all set to greet visitors at the Elgin Street Farmers Market. The final market of the season is Oct. 8.

“It’s not only for us vendors but we hope to help support the local businesses, as well,” he says. While it was a fairly good growing season, it started out pretty rough. “This year the growing season was pretty harsh on us in the beginning,” says Gaetz, who owns Gableridge Farm with wife Sandra. The market runs Saturdays from 8 a.m to 1 p.m., rain or shine, in downtown Arnprior on Elgin Street. For more on the market, visit arnpriormarket.ca.

CHINA CONNECTION This vintage 1966 Chinese air force plane made a stop over at the Arnprior Airport Monday afternoon. Owner Jim MacDonald was in town to see a friend on route back home to Calgary after attending the air show in Gatineau on the weekend. Western consumers complain about cheap goods from the emerging nation, but MacDonald said the workmanship on his plane is “not bad” because it was made by military people.

‘It takes a village to raise a child’ Know the warning signs and where to go if you know a teen who needs help BLAIR EDWARDS blair.edwards@metroland.com

obile Crisis kicks ass! The message is scribbled in a scrapbook kept in the war room of the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa’s 24-hour crisis hotline. The hotline staff call it the cookie jar. It’s a collection of thank-you notes and messages of hope scribbled or pasted on each page of the scrapbook written by the staff. None of the notes come from the clients, the dozens of youth and parents who call the centre every week and receive help from the social workers who man the hotline. But that’s a good thing, said Ted Charette, the co-ordinator of the bureau’s Mobile Crisis and Intake Services. “A lot of the time we don’t know the impact we have, because we don’t bring them here for too long,” he said. Staff at the crisis line field more than 6,000 phone calls every year and assist youth ages 0 to 18. If necessary, a crisis worker can jump in a car and visit a youth at their home. The hotline is often the city’s first stop for children wrestling with mental health issues or parents seeking help for their troubled teens. The staff is trained to deal with emergency situations and then, if needed,

WARNING SIGNS Adults need to look for the warning signs and take action early, says Ted Charette, the co-ordinator of Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Mobile Crisis and Intake Services. Some include: • A sudden drop in marks at high school • Changes in sleeping and eating habits • Loss of enjoyment in what used to be favourite activities • Low energy and poor concentration • A personality change • Outbursts of anger or rage • Neglect of personal appearance

OUT OF THE DARKNESS A series about youth suicide Part 2: How to detect if your child needs help and what resources are available for assistance. refer teens and children to youth mental health services in Ottawa. But it all boils down to making that first contact, said Charette. “I don’t think there’s a difficulty making a connection,” he said. “It’s getting a hold of them.” A teenager lacks the experience and knowledge to cope with mental illness and often feels no one can help them, Charette said. “The first person a teenager will speak to when they feel challenged is going to be another teenager.”. PARENTS ARE KEY Parents can play a key role in their child’s mental health, said Charette. The first step is maintaining an open line of communication. Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions, such as, “Anything interesting happen at school today?” Charette said. “Connect with the kids,” he said. “Make the time.” If they notice signs of depression and are worried their children are having suicidal thoughts, parents should call the 24-hour crisis line: 613-260-2360, said Charette. Youth can also visit the walk-in clinic, located at 2301 Carling Avenue, the second floor, which is free for youth ages 12 to 20 and parents and open every Thursday from noon to 8 p.m. “A lot of our calls are initiated by parents and not youth,” he said. “We’re a very good option for a first phone call. “We have incredible success once we can get our hands on them – it’s just getting them,” said Charette. “Because they don’t reach out, we need adults.” Children attempt suicide for a variety of reasons, said Dr. Ian Manion, a clinical psychologist and the executive director for the Ontario Centre of Excellence for child and youth mental health at CHEO. Acute stressors include relationship loss, bullying, embarrassment and aca-

demic performance. “It could be a variety of things,” Manion said. “A moment in time could be overwhelming for young persons.” Youth have limited problem-solving skills and emotional maturity, he said. Parents can bring their children to CHEO if they express suicidal thoughts. “You are seen,” said Manion. “You’re not put on a waiting list.” DARON Ever since the parents of Daron Richardson publicized the details of their 14-year-old daughter’s suicide on Nov. 15, 2010, the issue of suicide and youth mental health has caught the country’s attention. During a press conference following his daughter’s death, Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson, said he and his wife talked about difficult subjects with their daughter such as alcohol and drug abuse and sex, but they never discussed mental health. “I wish we did talk about it before,” he said. “But we just didn’t think it was there.” Manion said many parents won’t go

for help because of the stigma of mental health issues. “That’s a huge barrier in mental health in general,” he said. “That’s where we have to do a better job in supporting parents.” It’s important to educate people about mental health issues and identify the resources available in the community, he said. The sooner the better when dealing with mental health problems, said Manion. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10 to 24, according to recent numbers from Statistics Canada. In 2007, 508 youth killed themselves, with many more attempting it. “Even more importantly, studies show a significant percentage of adolescents contemplate, plan or attempt suicide without seeking or receiving help,” said Cheryl Vrkljan, a Hamilton-based program consultant for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. Anyone can help, said Vrkljan. “What people do need to know is the right way to help,” she said. See ‘JUST’, Page 21

It’s shared with a kitchen where youth learning to cook churned out 2,800 home-cooked meals last year. The youth centre has a range of programs and welcomes drop-ins, but those on the couches are from YAK’s Skills Links programs in Perth and Smiths Falls. They are deemed “high-risk” youth, and range in age from 16 to 24. The program gives them six months of full-time training, a $332.50 stipend, and a chance to overcome what stands between them, a job, or going back to school. A fly on the wall would get a crash course in the issues plaguing Ontario’s rural youth. Those here today represent some of Eastern Ontario’s unhealthiest youth. In Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, teens have some of the region’s highest rates of smoking, drinking, obesity, unemployment and stress, as reported by the Child and Youth Health Network of Eastern Ontario’s recent study. They’re talking about youth suicide. Many are all too familiar with it, and the discussion flows for about an hour before the drum roll of toes gets too loud to ignore. Time for a smoke break. Several of them have helped a friend struggling with thoughts of suicide. Some have struggled themselves. All around, the opinions are varied and strong. Marcy Vincent remembers hearing her friend, then seven-months pregnant, say she was thinking of killing herself. Immediately, with a ride from her parents, Marcy drove over. “I stayed up with her for three days straight. There was no way I could go to sleep and leave her feeling that way,” recalls Marcy. In the end, her friend revealed her struggle to her parents, who hooked her up with a psychologist. “Nothing was scarier than those three nights.” YAK’s gem is its open doors. The fact kids are drawn to them on their own

accord is the real value of the centre. For many of the nearly 600 youth who came to YAK in 2010, it was an essential support. Hailing mainly from Perth and its neighbouring townships, the YAK’s following grew by more than a third last year. “Hope is a huge issue for young people, because they don’t see it as something that dominates their life,” says YAK’s executive director, Darinka Morelli. A lack of “corporate appeal” has long plagued YAK and others serving youth, Morelli says. Not little and cute, the teens they help are rougher around the edges. It’s easier to tell them no. Now, after 14 years of operation, the future of YAK’s lifeblood funding appears as tenuous as ever. They need guaranteed funding to have access to government grants. From Service Canada, these account for about 80 per cent of their funding, but are locked into the Skills Link program. In recent years, Lanark County has funded all five of its youth centres with an annual $40,000 grant, earmarked for staffing costs. For “bricks and mortar” funding, YAK relies on the Town of Perth and the townships of Tay Valley and Drummond/North Elmsley. Earlier this year, as municipal governments went through budget deliberations with a shakey economic backdrop, both wells got a little drier. At the Town of Perth, grants have gone up and down in recent years. YAK asked for a repeat of $12,000 for 2011, and walked away with $10,000. Councillors debated further cuts. As the centre’s financial books show, Tay Valley’s contributions have held steady at about half that amount, while provincial grants have dwindled to the triple digits. The past three fiscal years show no contribution from Drummond/North Elmsley, though Morelli says the township has contributed $1,000 for 2011. Meanwhile, at the county level, councillors decided to cut their grants program entirely. YAK will still get funding for now, from the social services budget, but has been asked to develop a plan to wean themselves off county funding over the next three years. “I think most definitely, if the taxpayer doesn’t support the youth centre, it will not sustain itself,” says Morelli. Instead, she says, they have to ask themselves a tough question: do you

The Youth Action Kommittee in Perth is an invaluable resource for teenagers, and can be a place they turn to when they are in crisis. Donations help keep it afloat. want their services or not? Always planning ahead, Morelli said she’s been looking at one day starting a side-business, a tutoring service, to help the centre survive. With one pot of money and competing interests, funding has always been a real struggle in the children’s services field, says Nicki Collins, founding executive director of Doors for Lanark Children and Youth. They’re a non-profit organization backed by the provincial government, providing free counselling services for kids up until their 18th birthday. By intervening early to help youth and their families with issues ranging from depression to sexual abuse and beyond, they hope to solve mental health problems before they get more serious. But, like youth centres, Open Doors is not a mandated service, and struggles as a result, says Collins.

“Every child has right to an education, we all have a right to health care, but … you don’t necessarily have a right to have children’s mental health services,” she says. Last year, Open Doors saw more than 1,000 young people at its Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Lanark Highlands offices. While demand has steadily increased – up 40 per cent in 10 years – their funding from the ministry of children and youth services has hardly budged. In the 15 years Collins has been at the helm, she has seen their funding base increase by eight per cent. “We don’t get cost of living (increases), ever,” said Collins. It’s been a struggle to keep up with the need for services since the area saw a cluster of six youth suicides last year. Since 2008, the organization has had to cut three full-time counsellors, a management position, their after-hours service, and 80 per cent of their psychological services, Collins said. Currently, there are nearly 100 people who have been on the wait-list for more than a month. Open Doors doesn’t treat anyone older than 18, but they’re not the only ones feeling the surge in mental health needs. Deborah Snow of Lanark County Mental Health says the staff she supervises at their Smiths Falls office has seen a significant increase in the number of “transitional-aged youth” – those not quite 18 but close enough – coming to them for help in recent years. Their answer: a youth skills group, modelled on the “psycho-educational groups” that have proved successful with adult patients. Unlike a support group, these group therapy sessions aim to build resilience, teaching youth the skills they need to cope, prevent and understand their symptoms. Offered last year for the first time, the group treatment option flopped, failing the required minimum of eight participants. This year they got 22. Maybe people have warmed to the idea of opening up to others, Snow says. Or maybe they’re looking for a way around the six- to eight-month wait-list for their preferred option, one-on-one counseling. “We do the best we can do with what we got,” says Snow, whose staff is at about half-capacity, with only two fulltime counsellors.

Just one caring person can make a world of difference

Know the warning signs, said Vrkljan – if you are completely unaware or think it will never happen to you or someone you know, think again. “Take all the warning signs seriously,” she said. “Talking about suicide will not encourage someone to try it.” Don’t agree to keep it a secret and tell the person they are not alone and that help is available, said Vrkljan; if there is an immediate risk call 911 and stay with

the person. “One caring person can make a difference,” she said. “We just have to be OK with asking the hard questions. Many times the person is in such pain they will be relieved you asked.” Youth aren’t seeking help because they don’t want to be different or marginalized, said Vrkljan. “Youth have never been taught the language skills they need to really express their emotions, and therefore keep it bottled up inside.” she said.

Education is key, said Charette. Three Ottawa institutions that help young people in crisis have agreed to pool resources and information to provide better services to youth and their families: CHEO, the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group and the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. The three organizations have partnered to allow nurses, psychiatrists and social workers to help youth in crisis. • The Royal Ottawa provides youth mental health services.

• The Youth Services Bureau offers a 24-hour mental health crisis program. • CHEO provides an urgent care unit and emergency health care. The subject of youth mental health is taught in the schools, but Charette would like to see training provided for any adult who works with groups of children, such as minor league hockey coaches, girl guide and scout leaders. “Anyone working with a child should have some awareness of mental health issues,” said Charette.

If you’re a teen in crisis or their guardian, the Youth Services Bureau has a free, 24-hour help line. Call 613-260-2360 or 1-877-377-7775 (toll free) crisis@ysb.on.ca

munity of people trying to help each other,” she said. It looks promising, as the response in Canada to forming an association has been “phenomenal,” said Howard. The association helps spread awareness about the condition and lobbies for more support, as it is not recognized as a disability under OHIP. It’s financially difficult for the average family when a child goes through several sets of dentures while growing up, she said. Dental implants could be one solution, but so far they are too expensive for most families. Association members share

john.carter@metroland.com

Imagine not being able to cool yourself down on a hot summer day. A Renfrew mother wants the public to know there are people with that problem, because they are afflicted with a rare medical condition called ectodermal dysplacia. Her three-and-a-half-yearold son, Jacob, is one. As a result, Meghan Howard is on a mission to spread awareness about the often misdiagnosed genetic condition and help other parents in the same boat afford items, such as cooling vests, to make their children’s lives more comfortable and safe. Buoyed by a generous outpouring of support from the community, she has organized a fundraiser Friday, Sept. 30 at the Renfrew Legion. As well as spreading awareness about the condition and the recently formed Canadian Ectodermal Dysplacia Syndrome Association (CEDSA), the event will raise money to buy cooling vests for children needing them to be active and play sports. Howard and her husband, Ian, are not looking for pity, but rather understanding. Other than his medical challenges, Jacob is a normal active, friendly, lovable three-year-old. However, his lack of ability to properly perspire can cause him to quickly overheat if he isn’t kept cool and hydrated. Those with the condition also have little in the way of tears and saliva. “Their bodies are like a desert,” said Howard. Ectodermal dysplacia, which has 150 variances ranging from mild to severe, has other symptoms too, such as allergies, eczema, soft or no teeth, slow development of finger and toe nails, and fine hair and lack of eyebrows. It is diagnosed in only one in every 17,000 people, but it is often not identified by doctors. In fact, Howard found out about the condition when she asked her den-

Meghan Howard and son Jacob invite everyone down to the Renfrew Legion on the evening of Friday, Sept. 30 to dance to three bands, win prizes, bid on silent auction items and support a fundraiser to buy much-needed cooling vests for children with a rare medical condition called ectodermal dysplacia. tist, Dr. Ian Callow of Arnprior, why her 15-month-old son had yet to develop teeth. Callow suggested Jacob be tested for ectodermal dysplacia. Despite skepticism from their doctor, the Howards took Jacob to CHEO for the simple mouth swab test and it was positive. Howard realized there must be more families unaware their children have the condition. That could be dangerous and even fatal, as it’s natural for parents to bundle up their babies to keep them warm, she said. “A fever can quickly become life-threatening.” Ectodermal dysplacia might be the cause of some of the mysterious Sudden Infant Death Syndrome cases, she said. Using her extensive journalism and research expertise, Howard has become an expert on the condition and is working with other parents to form CEDSA. Her models are strong associations in the U.S. and Britain. “They are an amazing com-

Fundraising dance to help ‘cool kids’ Meghan Howard is delighted with help she has received from the community for a fundraiser “for cool kids” at the Renfrew Legion Friday, Sept. 30. Money raised at the dance and silent auction will go toward buying cooling vests to allow children with ectodermal dysplacia to participate safety in sports and play

activities. Proceeds will also help pay for wigs and offset costs of dentures for youth with the medical condition. The vests are modified from those used by soldiers and industry workers. Cooled in a fridge, they can keep a person cool more than two hours. Howard’s son, Jacob, has successfully tried out a vest, and

now she would like to see it made available to others. Howard would also like to set up an exchange program where the vests could be passed on when children grow out of them. Doors open at 6 p.m. Sept. 30 and the music begins at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $10. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” promises Howard.

experiences and tips on such things as wigs, bath soap and preparing pureed food. They also work on making children’s school experiences more enjoyable. Looking different makes them susceptible to bullying and discrimination. “We’ve heard from adults (with ectodermal dysplacia) who talk about what a terrible time they had in school,” Howard said. “It (school) can be especially hard on girls.” She would like to see the new association create an information package to provide to schools. Despite the challenges of ecto-

dermal dysplacia, “I amazed that the kids don’t let it stop them,” said Howard. A seven-year-old boy she knows plays hockey and a girl competed in Do You Think You Can Dance Canada. “Courage is the word these kids have taught me.” Howard notes the association is not only for parents and children. A 65-year-old, who joined the group, has just found out he has ectodermal dysplacia. “For the first time he understands (what is afflicting him),” she said. “He finally feels he belongs.” For more, see the website www. ectodermaldysplacia.ca.

Packers win, tie at Fall Classic JOHN CARTER

Arnprior Packers kicked off their 201011 regular season with a win and a tie against Rideau Division opponents on the weekend. Eastern Ontario Junior B hockey teams from all four divisions began the season by playing two games each at a Fall Classic showcase in Kemptville. The Packers tied Westport 4-4 Friday and edged Gananoque 2-1 Saturday. The three points puts Arnprior in a tie with Almonte Thunder for second in the Valley Division, one point behind Perth Blue Wings who won both their games.

Picking up from last year, Taylor Collins paced the Arnprior attack with a goal and three assists on the weekend. Parker Davies had two goals and Braedon Moffatt chipped in with three assists. Patrick Dick and Shane Smith each had a goal and assist. Mike Cheslock backstopped the Packers to the win Saturday, while Taylor Lush was in the nets for Friday’s tie.

Ontario Election: Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke

SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The New Democratic Party is a force to be reckoned with following the party’s unprecedented Official Opposition win in the May 2011 federal election, and the local provincial candidate is ready to keep the orange momentum going. Re n f r e w - N i p i s s i n g Pembroke NDP candidate Brian Dougherty has dedicated his campaign to late federal party leader Jack Layton. The four-year resident of Arnprior was born in Toronto, attended college in northern Ontario and worked in Alberta for nine years as a child and community worker. The move back to Ontario facilitated a career change – Dougherty is now an electrical worker and eco evaluator who works with people to make their homes cost-effective, energy-efficient and healthier for the environment. His job is in keeping with his campaign pledge to make life more affordable in the riding, create and protect good jobs, and support public health care. While he has always been sure to vote and keep apprised of the issues, the married father of two girls became interested in politics while at college, working with long-serving Timmins-James Bay MPP Gilles Bisson. “The political work I did with the Child and Youth Worker Association to have it recognized as a profession by the Province of Alberta fed my passion, too. I wasn’t in politics but I was certainly around it,” said Dougherty. His interest grew as he watched Layton pave the way for unprecedented growth in party support and the eventual distinction of becoming the official opposition for the first time. “From the way he carried himself to how he fought so hard, he was an inspiration,” said Dough-

NDP candidate Brian Dougherty erty. As he watched election coverage with his kids and wife, he was telling his oldest daughter how he used to work with the NDP. “My wife turned to me and said ‘Why don’t you see if there’s a provincial candidate and if not, go for it.’” Having lived in three different areas of Ontario adds to his suitability as potential MPP. “I grew up in southern Ontario, lived in northern Ontario for five years and now make my home in eastern Ontario. I have a good idea of the issues across the province.” He enjoys people and conversation and has been hearing from constituents that change is in order. “I’m easygoing and approachable. No matter someone’s background, I can usually find that connection with them.” Now that people have realized the party is a serious contender, they are starting to see it’s a good fit for the region, he said. “The NDP is a much more suitable party to represent this riding than the PCs.” And what he’s hearing on the street is people continue to struggle financially. “The single biggest issue I’m hearing about is the economy,” said Dougherty. “Nobody can find full-

time work, it’s all parttime with no benefits – there’s nothing to build a career on,” he said. Agriculture and the forestry industry in particular are hurting and the average income in the riding is well below the provincial average. This area used to have a thriving industrial sector, and small businesses – the backbone of the local economy – are strapped. The NDP will lower taxes for small business and provide other incentives such as a $5,000 or 20 per cent tax break when a new position is created and a savings of the HST on fuel for businesses that have company vehicles. “If you put more money in their pockets, they can focus on their business,” said Dougherty. The NDP’s Buy Ontario plan will also strengthen the local economy, he said. “Wherever and whenever possible, in provincially funded facilities, locally grown produce and meat will be used.” And with regards to the forestry industry, “If a tree is harvested in Ontario, it will be milled in Ontario,” said Dougherty. Getting people out to vote and pay attention to the issues are among Dougherty’s key focuses during the campaign. Rural voter turnout has been improving, but many voters within town limits in the riding are still not exercising their right. “A lot of people just vote the way their families would. It’s not just getting out to vote – it’s knowing who you’re voting for. Take a look at platforms, go to the debates, listen to what candidates are saying,” said Dougherty. All NDP candidates had a conference call with leader Andrea Horwath Sund, and things are looking very positive, said Dougherty. “The NDP are seeing a lot of gains. There are a number of Liberal and other MPPs getting nervous as the election approaches.”

‘A lot of people just vote the way their families would. It’s not just getting out to vote – it’s knowing who you’re voting for. ‘

Jones makes a stand for the Green Party PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Green Party of Ontario will have a fresh face seeking your vote for the riding of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke in the Oct. 6 provincial election. Kyle Jones, 27, born in Kingston and raised in the rural farming area of Devil Lake near Westport, has tossed his hat into the ring. “It (Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke) is a decidedly Conservative riding. I believe I can give them a Conservative outlook. Coming from a rural area, I can relate to them,” Jones said. “My goal is to represent the people of the riding, go to Queen’s Park and give them what they want.” A practical nursing graduate of St. Lawrence College, Jones is working towards a bachelor’s degree in allied health sciences at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. “Health care is a passion of mine. I work in mental health.” He said the Liberals spend money too freely. “Too many people are on the sunshine list ($100,000 annual income and above). More than ever, people are suffering because all the money is being funnelled into management,” Jones observed. Health is a part of Green Party leader Mike Schreiner’s five-point plan. Jobs, energy, food and good government are the others. Living in a small community, Jones sees a need for economic growth and a localized economy. “I see this riding as a hub of activity. The riding is full of farms and small businesses,” he noted. “We get our food grown more locally, which spurs more business in the riding. Tax the bad things (imported food) and subsidize good things (local),” Jones added. “That gets us right back into health care. Good food keeps kids healthy,” he said. A priority of the Green Party is to reduce energy consumption. One way is in moving ahead, by replacing nuclear power with more solar power, Jones said. He’d like to see more public transit. Less people in their cars means more fuel saved. Jones added that he found the abandoning of the rail line through Renfrew County “very disappointing.” The Sept. 15 trip to Renfrew wasn’t a first for Jones. “My father was a trapper,” he said. “We were up at the trappers convention in Renfrew 10 years ago.” With the population growing older in terms of numbers, the Green Party looks to improve the care available by ensuring seniors receive the continuum of care they need when they need it by improving home care, transitional care, assisted care and long-term care.

Green Party candidate Kyle Jones The Green Party will create case managers at the family clinic level to proactively co-ordinate the care seniors need, and support all long-term care facilities to provide services in compliance with provincial standards, Jones added. The Green Party allows the people to participate, to be involved, Jones said. “We believe in a government that engages and empowers individuals, businesses and organizations to develop sensible, long-term solutions for our communities.” Jones was getting to know the RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke area better upon his return last week. “I introduced myself to people of Renfrew. It was a positive experience, very friendly people,” he said. Jones’s trip through the county last week included stops in the Pembroke and Killaloe-Barry’s Bay areas, and simply getting the word out that he is running for the Green Party in Renfrew-NipissingPembroke. Jones said a primary concern is to help local farmers, give them good government and create jobs in the area. “Ultimately, I do what my constituents want,” he added. “I’m looking forward to the debate and meeting the people. “We are a fiscally responsible party, but socially progressive,” he added. Between being his own campaign manager, meeting people and getting his name out in the riding, Jones hasn’t been able to tend to one business matter – setting up a campaign office. When he does, Jones says it will likely be in Pembroke.

Health, jobs, energy, food and good government form the foundation of the Green Party’s five-point plan.

Ontario Election: Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke

ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE - September 22 2011

Liberal contender vows to champion resource sectors DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Liberal candidate John O’Leary is willing to face head-on what is perhaps his biggest liability: that he was parachuted in from Toronto to run against a Progressive Conservative incumbent with deep roots in the riding. O’Leary, 31, counters by saying he has visited family and friends in the area his whole life, learned to water ski on Round Lake, attended weddings and even meeting up recently – while campaigning in Douglas – with a man who knew his great-grandfather. “Renfrew is a great part of Ontario, an important place for my family and I,” he said. “It’s a place where family matters a whole lot.” Celebrating a second anniversary this week with wife Leslie, a communications officer in Premier Dalton McGuinty’s office, O’Leary is senior education advisor to the ruling Liberals. “I like to work hard,” said O’Leary, who is usually up at 5 a.m. to take the train to work. He has a home gym, but is less enthusiastic about working out than watching football players take to the field. Although the couple appreciates arts and culture in the provincial capital, they share a greater passion for the Buffalo Bills and Toronto Argos. It was his grandfather, after leaving the air force following the Second World War, who moved the family to Toronto. He was involved with the Avro Aero project there. At 91, he’s back in Ottawa – still flying, and hoping to get young John up in a glider. “I’m not sure I’ll have time during the campaign to get up with him, but maybe,” said O’Leary, who grew up in Etobicoke playing ultimate Frisbee, baseball and swimming. Although given to nostalgia when talking about the riding, O’Leary realizes it has “challenges.” Renfrew county has among the

Liberal candidate John O’Leary worst rates of heart disease, stroke and diabetes in all of Canada. Men living here die two years earlier than other men in Ontario; women die nearly a year earlier. Poor health is tied in with poverty – and Renfrew county is one of the poorest in Ontario. O’Leary doesn’t spend much time highlighting the negatives, and none blaming Conservatives at both levels of government for the situation. He prefers to point to AECL, CFB Petawawa, and the emerging green energy economy. “Green energy is a growth sector, and the Ottawa Valley and Renfrew county can be a real leader,” he said. “Ontario is the place to do green business. These are great paying jobs for years to come.” However, O’Leary knew little about burning wood pellets to produce energy and wouldn’t comment on Liberal decisions that included protecting certain rare species at a cost of as many as 40,000 jobs in the province’s forestry sector. He has experience advising the government in the agriculture industry, and pledged to champion resource workers. “That’s the job of the MPP. It’s my job to become a voice for those industries and bring them to the front of the pack,” he said. O’Leary added that

bringing jobs to one region doesn’t diminish others. There are cultural differences between rural and urban, north and south, but “jobs help everyone,” he said. He cited the 100-mile diet phenomenon as a way for farmers to be seen as more relevant to city folks, and vice versa. O’Leary has experience with Foodland Ontario and getting Ontario consumers to buy Ontario produce and other foods. However, he admitted he was unaware that Ottawa has no food terminal; meaning local farmers are forced to sell to buyers in Toronto, sometimes having to send the food down there before it can be brought back and made available to Ottawa area consumers. Still on food, O’Leary denies the government moved too quickly on the healthy food guidelines that have cost area high schools contracts for cafeteria services. MacGuinty’s senior education adviser says planning goes back to 2007, and that it isn’t particularly onerous because schools can have hot dogs and other junk foods “on special, treat days.” One area where he did go after the opposition was property taxes. The Liberals have uploaded $33 billion in service costs, creating a lot of room for municipalities in the tax base. The PCs are not promising to continue with the uploads, which O’Leary said would mean four to five per cent increases on property taxes. Also, he said the Liberals have much to be proud of, including a move from one in three students dropping out of school in some regions back in the PC days, to test scores jumping by 15 per cent under Grit rule. “We have a serious plan for serious times,” O’Leary said. “I’m fresh and young, and our leader has the right plan. I’m hearing from a lot of people worried we will go backward with hospital closures, kids dropping out.”

‘We have a serious plan for serious times.’

Fifth time running for political office

ous ethnic backgrounds, have French immersion forced upon them. He says it’s a flagrant waste of taxpayers’ money to employ unneeded French teachers, when that money could be spent on more critical items, like doctor recruitment in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke and other rural ridings.

His best days as a musician are behind him. Because his hearing has deteriorated, he doesn’t play the keyboard much any more. But he’s seldom short of ideas, which are what his Confederation of Regions (COR) Party is all about. So says COR Party candidate Murray Reid of Renfrew who is running in his fifth election. He ran twice federally, while this is his third provincial campaign. Reid, 59, is probably best known as a local plumber and a member of the hugely popular Ottawa Valley band, Metagenesis, which rocked the Ottawa Valley from 1975 to 1980 with such iconic songs as Calabogie Boogie. Other songs followed, after Mutagenesis disbanded, with Murray Reid Group and such popular releases as Never Spend Christmas Alone. The COR Party was founded in 1984 as a successor to the Western Canada Federation Party to fight the Liberal Party and to serve as a far-right political voice following the decline of the Social Credit Party. The party’s biggest success was 1991 in New Brunswick where it was the official opposition. Reid, as one of five candidates in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, hopes voters relate to his environmental and social concerns. Reid, a single parent whose son is an Algonquin College graphic arts student, says one reason for running is to generate ideas so government puts those ideas into law. “If my son comes to me in 20 years from now, I can say I changed the laws, and I was never in power,” said Reid. Changes, he says, need to include the monitoring of septic systems by the Ministry of Environment

COR Party candidate Murray Reid so backwash from septic systems can’t be easily discarded on local properties. “I want MoE to get out of our wells and concentrate on legislation to stop people from polluting ground water with salt, potassium permanganate alum, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine and potassium chloride.” He’s also concerned about the new species at risk act, which he calls misguided at best. “Whoever created this legislation should get out of their office and blow the stink off themselves,” said Reid in reference to what he calls misguided regulations for everything from butternut trees to Blanding’s turtles. For example, he says government data indicates Blanding’s turtles are endangered, but notes that’s hardly the case locally. Reid has rescued some of those turtles off Highway 17 and transferred them to his own pond where they’re reproducing. He also says there is too much emphasis on the French connection in the work force and in the classrooms of Ontario schools. He says Ontario residents, including many Toronto and southern Ontario residents of vari-

LOCAL PLUMBER, FARMER Reid, who’s the chief financial officer for the Ontario COR Party, runs Murray Reid Plumbing and a farm of sheep and cattle. A resident of Admaston-Bromley, Reid helped found Ontario’s COR Party in 1990. He ran federally in 1988 for the COR Party of Canada and the Abolitionist Party in 1993. He didn’t represent COR that year, he says, because the party was temporarily eliminated by government legislation. Provincially, he was a COR candidate in 1990 and 1995. Two of COR’s main tenets are the need for referendums and fixed government terms in office. Both became reality with the current Ontario Liberal Party, says Reid. He says COR also believes referendums should also used for various reasons, including the rare times a politician needs to be recalled for inappropriately representing his or her riding. The COR Party also passed a motion to promote meaningful work for welfare recipients in 1992, said Reid. That motion, added Reid, resulted in the Ontario Conservative Party’s creation of Ontario Works. “We found out we can change politics and never be in power,” said Reid proudly. Generally, COR is about fairness, equality and freedom for all, he stressed. “We want to change the laws. And laws are just ideas. Ideas change, and so laws can change.”

Ontario Election: Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

He calls it the best job he’s ever had, and he plans on keeping it for another four years. John Yakabuski of Barry’s Bay is pursuing a third straight term at Queen’s Park and the continuation of Yakabuski representation in the riding. His father, Paul, who died in 1987, served as the riding’s MPP for 24 years. “Dad’s reputation was cemented as a true constituency politician who felt very strongly about looking after the needs of those who sent him to Queen’s Park,” says Yakabuski. “It’s been 24 years since he served and I still get people telling me about their own (good) experiences with dad.” Years later, he says the absolutely best part of the job is the experiences he and wife Vicky have “had meeting and working for people we would have never met if we weren’t doing this job.” Yakabuski − the Progressive Conservative Party’s house leader and energy critic − is hopeful voters will recognize the strong constituency work he has done on such major issues as the recent $12 million in provincial funding for Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s new dialysis facilities. In 2003, Yakabuski won his inaugural provincial campaign by fewer than 600 votes over Liberal Derek Nighbor, executive assistant for long-time Liberal MP Sean Conway. But it was a landslide victory for Yakabuski in 2007, and some say it will be again. Yakabuski has a big team of volunteers, plus campaign offices in Barry’s Bay, Pembroke, Renfrew, Eganville and Arnprior. His campaign focuses on two main components − the need for a Conservative party that will bring more prosperity to families, seniors and small

business, and his record as a constituency MPP. FIVE FIXTURES Yakabuski is enthusiastic about the election campaign, as outlined in Change Book. Its five fixtures include lowering the tax burden, delivering relief on energy bills, investing in health care and education, cleaning up government waste, and creating safer neighbourhoods. Under the PC platform, high-risk offenders will be electronically monitored by the police, and inmates will be expected to put in a day’s work, perhaps “cleaning up neighbourhoods and doing manual labour,” says Yakabuski. On the issue of tax burden, Yakabuski says he’s pleased that the Change Book features a push for provincial gas tax to go to all Ontario municipalities, and not just those with public transit systems. It’s a bill Yakabuski has brought to the house at least three times, but unsuccessfully, in the face of opposition by the majority-government Liberals. He notes the federal government already distributes gas-tax revenue to all Canadian municipalities. The PCs are also promising to drop the debt retirement charges on hydro bills, remove the HST

on home-heating bills, and give hydro users the option of dropping or using time-of-use billing. On the public’s tax burden, Yakabuski says, “Everywhere I travel in this riding, and throughout the province, the repeated refrain is that life has become unaffordable under Dalton McGuinty and every time he turns around, he hoists a new tax on them.” The Conservatives appear to be offering similar investment in health care and education to the Liberals. Yakabuski says education is a key part of the PC platform and notes that Tim Hudak’s parents were teachers, while he has several family members who were or are teachers. “Coming from a family of 14 and one who has raised four of his own children, we absolutely understand the pivotal importance of education.” The party’s approach to education, says Yakabuski, includes letting teachers teach without the pressure to inflate grades, writing meaningful report cards, and opposing the use of cellular phones in the classroom. As for jobs, they’re always an issue, says Yakabuski. And they have to be, he notes, reiterating the Change Book refrain that the Conservatives are going to be the best friend small business ever had, by reducing red tape by 30 per cent. Regarding government waste, he says: “We’re going to eliminate waste in government; we’re going to eliminate frauds, and secret deals, such as the ehealth scandal that wasted a billion dollars.” Other issues needing particular local attention, says Yakabuski, include the need for a police contract in Arnprior; extending Hwy. 417; long-overdue farm tax credit payments to municipalities; and improving a bad relationship between the forestry sector and provincial government.

‘Everywhere I travel, the repeated refrain is that life has become unaffordable under Dalton McGuinty.’

Nation’s largest breeder has 500 dogs seized Pet Talk

IAN STUPP Deputy Judge M. Galligan of Ottawa made seven findings in the case, one of which I would like to quote: “It is common ground that the term ‘puppy mill’” used in this sense is derogatory,” and went onto to say that the term ‘puppy mill’ did not describe or define Paws R Us fairly. In other words the court found that Paws R Us was not in fact a puppy mill and calling them one was inflammatory and ruled in favour of the Labombard family. No offense, but I think the judge is barking up the wrong tree. One breed constitutes a breeder, two dogs of similar breeds (poodle, bichon frise) constitutes a breeder, three or more different breeds constitutes a back yard breeder and anything over that is a breeder for profit and does not

necessarily care about the needs of the dogs. Paws R Us had dozens of breeds, hundreds of dogs and multiple bitches for the sole purpose of banging out puppies for profit. What did the judge not understand? Over the years I have witnessed what the Labombard family claim is responsible breeding. Dogs that had upper respiratory problems, hip problems, eye problems, skin irritations, suffering from mall nutrition, behaviour issues, temperament issues, inability to socialize with other dogs, afraid of being handled, and the list goes on. What can the public do to help? Stop buying from puppy mills! Although you are saving a life, you are also contributing

financially and perpetuating the problem. Adopt from a shelter, rescue or reputable breeder. And stay away from pet shops, as some may purchase their puppies/dogs from puppy mills. Although justice has been done thus far, the fate of over 500 dogs lie in the hands of the Quebec justice system. The Quebec court could rule in favour of adoption or, as unbelievable as this may sound, returning the dogs back to Paws R Us.

In the 10 years I have lived in Arnprior, I have longed for the day that Paws R Us would get what they deserved. Just last week the Humane Society International Canada (HSI) and the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food raided the Paws R Us kennels located in Shawville, Quebec in the Township of Clarendon and seized over 500 dogs. The raid came on the heels of a long investigation. Nicole Labombard was interviewed while the seizure was taking place and repeatedly stated that the family had done nothing wrong. Nicole, visibly shaken and sobbing,commented that the dogs were,and I quote, sufficiently cared for.” A video of the kennel showed dogs segregated from one another by walls and living in kennels that appeared cramped and filthy. According to the HIS, the dogs had inadequate food and water and lacked the social aspects of companionship and interaction with humans and other dogs. After researching the Labombard family, I found a court document filed in small claims court dated July, 22, 2009 between James, Charlene and Nicole Labombard and Lorie Dixon.

COOKIE MONSTER From Sept. 19 to 25, the entire proceeds from the sale of Tim Hortons smile cookies are being donated to local charities, hospitals and community programs.

After all, smile cookies are only available until Sunday, but the difference they make will last forever.

Business technology seminars in ’Prior, Renfrew Sept. 29 Not so very long ago telephones, typewriters, and the post office handled most of a business’s communication with customers and suppliers. Today it’s not so simple. Phones, computers, printers, copiers, networks, cell phones, Internet and web presence – not to mention the importance of keeping it all secure. “Many businesses end up with a heap of technology to manage just to keep the doors open,” says Colleen Sadler of Enterprise Renfrew County. “Whatever the nature of a business, it’s a sure thing that technology will play a role in the organization’s success – or failure.” That’s why the ERC is partnering with TIPs unLTD of Renfrew to present the Business Technology Seminar Series in Arnprior and in Renfrew next Thursday, Sept. 29. At the Arnprior Quality Inn (8:30 a.m. to noon) and at The Innovation Centre in Renfrew (1 to 4:30 p.m.), the informative sessions will include: Wake Up to the True Cost of Printing, Document Communication and Management, Snail Mail (a thing of the past?), Workspace Ergonomics, Using Your SmartPhone for Business, On the Cloud (the new face of networking), and Internet Marketing (should you be tweeting?). There is no cost for the event. “These seminars will give area business people the opportunity to learn about some of the technology advances that we don’t usually hear about in outlying areas like the Valley until two or three years after they are commonplace in major centres like Ottawa and Toronto,” says Rob Campbell of TIPs unLTD. “If you own or manage a business, you are using technology and if you are using technology you should attend the seminars.” To register, visit www.enterpriserenfrewcounty. com or call TIPs unLTD at 613-432-4448.

Sunday concert to be artistic director’s farewell After helming the chorus and orchestra of the Ottawa Valley Music Festival for 18 years, Mervin Fick is leaving his post as artistic director. The Festival’s September concert, Vivaldi and the Italian Baroque, presented at Grace St. Andrew’s United Church in Arnprior Sunday, Sept. 25, will be last time audiences will see Fick hold the baton. A native of Eganville and a graduate of the University of Toronto, Fick co-founded the Ottawa Valley Music Festival in 1993 following a community concert to raise funds to rebuild Eganville’s Grace Lutheran Church, destroyed by a fire in 1992. The festival officially presented its first concert in 1994, and throughout the next 17 years has

MERVIN FICK brought the classical choral tradition to communities across the Ottawa Valley under his guiding hand. Over the years, Fick and the festival have been joined by many awardwinning Canadian soloist singers and musicians, as well as providing a launch pad for young talent through its Young Performers program. A busy choral master and voice coach in Toron-

to, Fick is the director of the Mississauga Choral Society, the Peel Choral Society, the Toronto Beach Chorale and the Seven Rivers Chorus, which fulfilled a long-held dream of his and showcased Canadian choral talent overseas with tours of Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria. Although he is leaving the festival, Fick will not become a stranger in the Ottawa Valley, as he still has strong family ties to the area. The board and chorus of the Ottawa Valley Music Festival thank him for his dedication and hard work, and wish him every success in the future.

Especial thanks to Rev. Danny Bennett for leading us through a beautiful service.

Thanks for the beautiful ﬂowers, the many notes of condolence and the charitable donations in Erik’s name. We appreciate that so many volunteered or contributed to the delicious luncheon at the White Lake Presbyterian Church. Thanks to the helpful staff at the Boyce Funeral Home.

ERIK NUGENT- Kevin and Lorraine Nugent wish to extend their heartfelt thanks on behalf of both their families to all those who contributed to saying farewell and celebrating the life of our beloved son, Erik. We felt very welcomed by his community. We were overwhelmed by the number of people who came out to express their condolences and by the turn-out for Erik’s memorial service. We were especially pleased to meet so many of his friends. We heard many stories about his helpfulness, sense of humor and ﬁne character. It was wonderful to realize that Erik touched so many lives and hearts.

We saw and appreciated the care and concern for Babette, Tom and all those who were especially close to Erik. Babette and Tom wish to express their gratitude at this time as well.

Many thanks to my family, near and far, and to my many friends in helping me to celebrate my 80th Birthday. It was a birthday that won’t be forgotten. Thank you again, God Bless,

Just when your life was brightest, Just when your years were best, You were called from this world of sorrow, To a home of eternal rest. Always remembered, Husband and Family

Andy Lepinsky October 14, 1928 – September 22, 2009

In loving memory of my dear husband and best friend, Andy who passed away 2 years ago.

It is sad to walk the road alone, Instead of side by side, But to all there comes a moment, When the ways of life divide. You gave me years of happiness, Then came sorrow and tears, But you left me beautiful memories, I will treasure through the years. Forever in our hearts, Stancel, Craig, Christina, Sheldon, Margy, Noah and Owen
