Charges dropped DEREK DUNN

DECISION 2011

September 29, 2011 | 52 Pages

The unusual circumstances surrounding the recent death of an Arnprior man that sparked headlines across Canada has come to a quick conclusion.

There will be no charges against any member of the Woods family.

Following a lengthy homicide investigation by the OPP, the investigators and members of the crown attorney’s office determined no charges will be laid in the death of Corey Blaskie.

During the early hours of Sunday, Sept. 11, Blaskie allegedly broke into Nathan Woods’

Edward Street home, tripping an alarm.

Blaskie, 41, was wearing “slash-proof police-style gloves,” according to statement released

by Woods’ lawyers. While 911 was being called, Blaskie confronted the homeowners and a fight broke out.

“Fearing for their safety, the residents of the home defended themselves against a violent and unprovoked attack,” lawyers Michael Edelson and Solomon Friedman said.

“During this attack, the life of Nathan Woods was repeatedly at stake as he struggled with the intruder.”

The second annual Fall Brawl demolition derby smashes into town this weekend.

This year promises to be bigger and better than last year, with an anticipated 80 cars participating and a guaranteed prize purse of $6,800.

Eight-, six-, and four-cylinder clunkers will crash their way through a track at the Arnprior

fair grounds starting at 1 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 1. Along with the noise, smoke and smell of burning oil in the air – kids and adults will get to ride a monster truck, see engines blow up, all while munching on barbecued foods.

“It’s going to be redneck fun,” organizer Ed Carron said.

He added that it’s a stock strip and go derby, meaning no modified cars will be allowed.

Stabbing has law experts considering implications Continued from front It remains unclear who stabbed Blaskie, but Woods’ wife and late-teenage son Jake were present. As Blaskie lay there, the family “immediately attempted” to provide first aid; several minutes later paramedics and police arrived. The family cooperated with the investigation.

The home was the scene of several break-ins in the past.

Blaskie was a father, stepfather and grandfather.

TREND-IN-LAW The incident has drawn interest from many in the law community. It introduces questions such as:

· Is the home a last line of defence, thus permitting the use of any level of force to protect oneself ? · Does force always have to be met with equal force, meaning a knife with a knife? Or do circumstances such as a person’s body size play a role?

The federal government recently clarified self-defence laws through changes to the Criminal Code. That was in response to a number of cases across Canada that found home- and business-owners facing the prospect of jail time and huge legal bills for defending themselves and their property.

Edelson and Friedman are convinced the courts are now trending to the side of people who find themselves in similar cir-

cumstances.

“The Criminal Code of Canada protects individuals from prosecution, who act in defence of themselves, their homes or other individuals,” they wrote. “The Woods family acted in self-defence to pre-

Fall Brawl likely to attract big crowd Continued from front “It’s strictly for the backyard mechanic who wants to have fun and raise money for charity.

“It’s just about having a good time,” Carron said.

Still – there’s decent money at stake.

First place in the V8’s final gets $2,000; first place in the V6’s gets $3,000, and first place in the four-cylinder gets $1,200.

All cash prizes are guaranteed because of donations made by the Arnprior Agricultural Society, Ed’s Salvage, Ed’s Auto Parts and The Prior Sports Bar (which is holding a party afterward.)

The derby gives 100 per cent back to drivers. That means the $80 entry fee for each car is put back into prize money.

The event is also expected to draw up to 2,000 spectators. A dollar from their tickets will go to CHEO. So will money raised from the half-engine blow-up.

DISPUTE AT THE DERBY Some lingering controversy from last year’s derby doesn’t seem to have an effect on this year’s turnout. The derby didn’t pay four individual heat winners the $100 each, as indicated would happen early on.

However, organizers such as Carron

and Scott Rancourt say they met with all drivers before the event and explained that, because they didn’t get the anticipated turn-out of drivers, all prize money would go to the final winners. The drivers voted in favour of the move and none spoke up against it at the time, Rancourt said.

Two of the drivers who took home thousands of dollars in the finals are among the four who missed out on the heat money.

“I will not back down from this,” Rancourt said.

“I shouldn’t have to (offer a payout).

They could have said something at that point.”

Carron said most of the riders from last year are back again, and because the event has grown it appears the controversy hasn’t harmed the Fall Brawl’s reputation. But he would rather it disappear.

“The last thing we want is controversy.

We’re trying to run an event here and raise money for CHEO,” Carron said.

“We did exactly what we said we’d do.

There was no false advertising. If it was over $3,000 and we disqualified the winner and it was unfair, I could see that. But not over $100.”

The event’s rain date is Saturday, Oct. 8 at the fair grounds.

serve their own lives. They conducted themselves appropriately, lawfully and responsibly.”

Nathan Woods could not be reached for comment; nor could Blaskie’s commonlaw wife Jennifer Prince.

An ambulance with two Arnprior paramedics was badly damaged in a collision that killed two people in a car Saturday on Calabogie Road.

Arnprior paramedics survive, as two killed in car-ambulance STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

A late Saturday-afternoon collision on Calabogie Road involving an ambulance has resulted in the death of an Ottawa man and his Beckwith girlfriend.

The two Arnprior paramedics in the ambulance suffered minor injuries and attempted to help the two people in the other car until other paramedics arrived on the scene.

The dead are the car’s driver, Mitch Albert, 25 of Ottawa, and his passenger, Lynsey Coté, 27, of Beckwith near Carleton Place.

Albert, 25, was described in the 27-yearold Cote’s obituary as “her soul-mate and best friend – the two were inseparable.”

Cote’s funeral will be held at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes in Nepean at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1. The family has asked for donations to be made to the Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge in her memory.

Albert, of Ottawa, grew up in West Carleton.

The paramedics were Wendell Croken, 65, and Kristy Smaggus, 27, both of Arnprior. They suffered minor injuries and were transported by ambulance to Renfrew Victoria Hospital after being treated by attending paramedics.

The injured paramedics were not responding to a call, and did not have any

patients on board at the time of the collision.

The crash happened about 4:30 p.m. in the Springtown area between Burnstown and Calabogie.

The OPP’s investigation indicates a 1999 red Acura Integra travelling south on County Road 508 lost control on a curve and entered the path of the 2009 Ford ambulance travelling north. Both occupants of the Acura were pronounced dead at the scene by the other paramedics who responded to the call.

The crash occurred on a deceptive curve on the hill near the Norway Lake road intersection. There have been several near collisions in that area.

County Road 508 was wet at the time of the accident. Police frequently warn motorists that after several days of dry, warm weather, rain is likely to make paved roads extra slippery because of oil slicks that form.

Traffic was rerouted for about 11 hours at Calabogie and Murphy roads, up to Ashdad Road, along Brydges Road and back to Calabogie Road. Greater Madawaska volunteer firefighters provided help with traffic control.

Const. Kerlous Tawdrous is leading the investigation, with assistance from OPP technical traffic collision investigators.

Charges are not expected.

OPP canine unit helps track fleeing suspect On Sept. 10, the owner of a 2002 GMC pickup truck reported that his vehicle had been stolen from his driveway.

On Sept. 18, Renfrew OPP officers were dispatched to a suspicious male at a cottage on High Lane Road in Renfrew County. The caller observed a Blue GMC pickup parked in the driveway of a cottage. A male ran out of the cottage and tried to get into the truck. The vehicle was blocked and the man fled on foot.

OPP canine arrived and tracked the suspect. A 24-year-old Horton man faces break-and-enter, possession of a stolen vehicle and resisting arrest charges.

of the Arnprior OPP were dispatched to a complaint at the Antrim Truck stop for a theft of gas. While leaving the gas station, the driver of a black Pontiac Sunfire turned onto White Lake road proceeding against the direction of traffic on one-way street.

He then lost control of the vehicle and drove into a ditch. As a result of the investigation, a 27-year-old Arnprior man has been charged with impaired driving, and theft.

LIQUOR LICENSE ACT On Sept. 26, constables.

Cameron and Paterson of the Arnprior OPP were dispatched to a report of an intoxicated male in the street at 178 Riverview Dr. Officers arrived on scene and observed a male squatting in the street trying to clean up a case of broken beer. The

30-year-old male was released from the Arnprior detachment and charged under the liquor license act for being intoxicated in a public place and consuming alcohol not in a license premises, residence or private place.

DRIVING COMPLAINT On Sept. 18 at 8:22 p.m., Arnprior OPP received a traffic complaint on McGonigal St W. in Arnprior.

A red Volkswagon Jetta was observed travelling at a high rate of speed, cutting off other vehicles.

Constables Baranovski and McGrath attended and spoke with the owner of the vehicle.

As a result, a 26-year-old Arnprior area man was arrested and charged with failing to comply with his conditions of release from court.

Memories of the railway Reflecting on the end of an era as the uprooting of tracks reaches into Renfrew STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

It’s natural to be nostalgic while watching the last of the Canadian Pacfic Railway trains in town.

While taking photographs of the last CP train to cross the iron bridge in Renfrew last Saturday, Stuart Warren thought of the time he spent at the CP station in town as a child watching trains and talking to the station master.

Warren also got thinking of how his son, now nine months old, won’t get to see the trains come through the Upper Ottawa Valley. It was also a sense of history repeating itself, said the Renfrew resident.

“The K&P was also in the same general area, and all remains of it are gone, other than a few blocks of cement.”

The disappearance of the CP line, adds Warren, is a loss “of the sense of history, which took many years to build and plan” and the “end of an era, no more trains, no more chance to photograph trains in the place I grew up.”

All the last little while, Warren wonders how much the loss of the rail line will contribute to the aging of local highways in the Valley, and how much it’s going to cost to keep the highways in good shape because of increased truck traffic.

Renfrew resident Chantal Lavigne had a similar reaction while taking a photo of one of the last CP trains pulling through town Sept. 9.

“It’s kind of sad to see,” said Lavigne.

“When my son was little, if we were out walking and he heard the train whistle, he would take off as fast as he could to be able to see it.

“I would be gasping for breath with my hands on my knees, and he would just stare up in quiet awe as this steel monster flew past us.”

Last month, The Chronicle-Guide reported that Cando Ltd. of Manitoba and A&K Railroad Materials of Kansas City are combining their services to salvage parts from the abandoned rail line. At least 40 kilometres of rail have already been torn up, reaching into Renfrew. The work is expected to continue well into October 2011 and could mean work on the Renfrew to Arnprior stetch.

The remainder of the line, which stretches from Smiths Falls to Mattawa, is expected to be salvaged in 2012.

Many plates and anchors will be relocated, while many of the spikes and rail ties will likely be sold.

The track itself may fetch a very good price because some was only laid in 2006, said CP official Anne Cornay in Calgary.

It’s 1:50 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17, as the Canadian Pacific train crosses Renfrew’s iron bridge over the Bonnechere River for the last time. The tracks were pulled up and loaded on to the cars pulled by this engine. The train engineer is Bob Emond, a retired railway engineer and Renfrew resident.

Council to hear more input on Grove area development DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Arnprior council will hear from more opponents of a proposed residential development near the Grove Nursing Home before it renders a decision.

At Monday’s meeting councillors learned that after the Sept. 12 public meeting - which heard from two opponents and a letter of concern from nursing home CEO Eric Hanna – more letters critical of the development were submitted.

Councillors are asked to accept a staff recommendation that would change the zoning of the property to allow for more dwellings. The developer, Don Johnston of Kingdon Holdings, wants to build 40 townhomes and a 52-unit three storey apartment. Currently he had approval for single detached homes such as bungalows.

The letters are submitted by two opponents at the public meeting, Janet McGrath and Blaine Lenser, along with a third whose name wasn’t revealed.

Concerns include: • exceeding water and sewer capacities; • seniors’ peaceful setting disrupted by increased traffic; • protection of historic Gillies Grove and unique species.

Staff is recommending the zoning change from residential one to residential three.

Its responses to criticisms include: • upfront costs for water and sewage oversized pipes would be paid for by the developer; • the town factors in the needs of existing properties before deciding if more can be accommodated; • traffic impacts will be considered later in the process; • an environmental impact study was done and buffer zones are required; • the province wants higher density, even in areas where existing homes are on large lots; • noise levels will be typical for a residential area.

Councils will give time to respond to the most recent letter before rendering a decision. More comments are welcome before the next council meeting.

‘MAD’AWASKA FOR TIM’S Truck drivers unloading cars along Madawaska Boulevard are causing safety concerns, said Coun. Lyle Anderson. He said when they park in front of dealerships a few “close calls” have occurred.

The county is responsible for the road, so town council agreed to send it a letter asking that no parking signs be erected.

Reeve Walter Stack said the auto carriers are doing more than is necessary along the road.

“I think they are using it as much for Tim Hortons as anything else,” he said.

JUNKING OPPORTUNITY Junk is still being dropped off at the Opportunity Shop, costing the volunteers time, energy and even money to dispose of it all.

In a letter dated Sept. 13 to Arnprior Mayor David Reid, manager Sandra Stemp asked the town to donate garbage bag tags to the shop, which sells gently used items and donates the money to the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital.

“We have been receiving broken, stained, ripped goods along with toasters, fry pans, pots and pans that

are burned and dirty,” Stemp wrote.

“Because of this, we put out between six and eight bags of garbage a week at the shop. We have been buying the garbage tags but they really do take away from the money we could be giving to the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital.”

Stemp hadn’t heard back from the town as of Sept. 20.

TO STAYE OR CHANGE A group of six business owners and 56 residents in the Staye Court Drive area want the road standards improved.

David Thompson submitted the petition to town council, along with a letter dated Sept. 10 saying the group wants the designation changed from rural to urban standards.

“I want to know his ulterior motives,” Coun. Lynn Grinstead said.

The letter doesn’t mention improvements to lighting, sidewalks, curbs and the like, but planner Robin Smith said parts of the road are missing those features.

“This change to urban standards is long overdue and will once and for all stop the ridiculous trouble,” Thompson wrote.

“Staye Court Drive has not been rural for decades. Please change its class to urban standards.”

Council will discuss the issue at future meeting.

town less.

Coun. Ted Strike got approval from his colleagues to ask the county for money to help rebuild Baskin Drive.

He figures the road is now being used more since county-owned on-ramp to Highway 417 is closed. And Baskin Drive is in such a state of disrepair it “probably will not last a full year.”

RESIGNATIONS Two volunteer members of town committees submitted their resignations in recent weeks.

Jim Silye, who ran a close second to Mayor David Reid in the last election, stepped down from the Adjustment and Economic and Development Advisory committees.

The official reason given was “for personal reasons.” Both Reid and Silye said the break was not acrimonious.

Garry Dowd resigned from the Properties Standards Committee because he has too much on his plate.

The group deciding library and sports service agreements between the town and township could have some rules to agree to before talks can start.

Arnprior council will ask the proposed Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Steering/Negotiation Committee to accept guidelines that include: • agree to confidentiality until all facts have been gathered and mutually agreed to, in order to establish goodwill; • agree upon engaging a facilitator if required during the process; • establish a level of trust amongst the committee with the sentiment that the members are collaborating as a team to arrive at a fair and equitable agreement for both municipalities and residents.

In the past, debates over service agreements - whereby McNab-Braeside pays Arnprior for rural residents to use the library and Nick Smith Centre – have been combative.

Last month was the latest row, when the two sides had opposite interpretations of the provincial privacy act. Library officials said they can’t give the township cardholder names and addresses. The township doesn’t believe that information is protected under privacy legislation.

Town council wants the two sides to agree that: “In order to properly prepare agreements which both parties will buy into and be accountable for to their constituents, accurate information both financial and non-financial needs to be obtained and assembled understanding that all data should be disclosed without revealing any personal

information.”

It is unclear if this means the township won’t get the names and addresses of its cardholders, something it said it needs to help decide how much money it wants to spend.

Arnprior Mayor David Reid wants to end the negotiation process, which comes up every five years, in favour of year-by-year agreements based on annualized statistics.

At Monday’s council meeting, he read from a prepared statement. He talked about “argumentative and stressful” negotiations in the past, and that “two councils squaring off ” doesn’t reflect the spirit of co-operation the two have shown over and again.

Reid said the process will be open and transparent when the committee – made up of one councillor from each municipality and two residents of each community – brings its findings to the councils.

He said the process will be no different than staff reports, which are not produced in a public setting.

The township will consider the guidelines at a future meeting.

Arnprior curling club to host trade show A trade show for local businesses is planned for next spring.

The Arnprior Curling Club, in a bid to raise funds to purchase its building from the agricultural society, will host the event May 5 and 6.

Called Getting to Know Your Local Businesses, there will be between 40 and 50 spaces available inside the facility, with the potential for more outside.

The cost to rent a space is $500.

“After a long absence of such an event in the community, spaces for this type of show are sure to fill up quickly,” organizer John Wahay wrote in a letter to members of the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce.

“Local trade shows have been shown to be one of the most effective ways for small and medium businesses to expand their base of regular customers and at the same time provide a valuable one-stop-shopping experience for

residents,” Wahay wrote.

The club has raised $47,000 of the $200,000 needed to close the sale of the curling rink building. It is offering to name the building – for a 20-year period - after a company that pays $40,000.

Once it has purchased the building, the club plans to find an organization to run a flea-farmers’ market both in the ice shed and on the outside grounds.

The curling club has existed in Arnprior for 142 years.

Antrim Flea Market to close for good in October DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Owners Sally and Ray Cook in front of the red building on the final Sunday of their 23year voyage directing the Goshen Flea Market.

Goodbye to Goshen Flea Market after 23 years of camaraderie STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Johnny Cash music is playing in the red building, while on the nearby pond a statue of a young fisherman sits below a bird house soaking in the warm autumn sunshine.

It’s a tranquil Sunday afternoon, but an emotional one too, on this final day in a 23year history of the Goshen Flea Market.

Everyone who talks about the end of the market talks about “the people.”

They’ll miss the people most − the camaraderie, conversations, and connections to the people in communities near and far each Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., May through September.

Sally and Ray Cook are calling it a day, after closing down their previous business, a farming operation, and using one of the old barn buildings to house several vendors.

The next door building, sporting a Texaco sign on the outdoor wall, was the other main building for the 15 or so vendors.

“We had fun,” said vendor Louise Brisebois of Aylmer, Que., after spending about 18 years at the market.

“Oh, I’m sad. I’m going to miss the place because I met a lot of different people, and it’s a friendly place.”

One of the nice touches over the years was the popular obituary board, or wall of remembrance, with clippings or stories about people connected to the market.

Local vendor Larry Vincent also has fond memories of the flea market. After 16 years there, he says he’ll miss “the people, my friends,” and selling everything from barbed wire (to one customer) to books, cameras, dishes and toys.

Customer Anita Lyons, who lives on nearby Stewartville Road, said she’s disap-

pointed to lose the Sunday visits to shop for old vintage cans, cooking crocks and antiques.

“It was nice to come over on a Sunday morning,” she said. “There was always a good mix of things I was looking for, and way more reasonable (prices than elsewhere).”

It’s difficult to say goodbye, but also the right time, says co-owner Sally Cook.

After more than 20 years running the market, she said it will be nice to have a Sunday off.

And besides, she added, there wasn’t enough money in it to leave the business to their children. And it was more work after her husband, Ray, suffered a stroke a little over a decade ago.

Eve Yantha, a former vendor and neighbour, says the Cooks managed to keep the market going “amidst adversity that would make many people give up.

Sally and Ray have toured the Valley on Saturdays to find treasures to sell on the Sunday.”

Vendor Bernice Latreille of Cobden presented a farewell thank-you card to the owners with signatures from several vendors.

Inside the card was Latreille’s six-stanza poem that included references to the Cooks’ dog and market mascot, Cuddles, as well as to the owners’ three adult children (Brent, Debbie and Dwain) and how the “memories will linger for a very long time.”

Her poem closes by saying: We thank you Ray and Sally for wonderful years We’ll try to depart without too many tears.

We wish you the best in your many endeavours You will be in our hearts Now and forever.

A second area flea market in as many months has announced it will close for good.

Sept. 24 was the last day for the Goshen Flea Market, just off Highway 17 between Arnprior and Renfrew, after 23 years. It was a smaller business on a converted family farm.

Now it is the Antrim Flea Market, a much larger operation open Sundays at the former truck stop on Old Highway 17 in West Carleton, after six years.

Hundreds go weekly to the combined indoor-outdoor flea market. Forty vendors inside and many more outside offer plenty of variety.

In its heyday, thousands were said to have attended, with cars parked on the road out front.

They go for antiques, quality, handcrafted furniture, funky used handbags and jewelry, collectibles, LPs, native artwork and much more; even a food vendor that offers a farmer’s breakfast or Chi-

nese food.

But increased competition, rain on many Sundays this summer, along with high gas prices that keep vendors and city consumers away, has owner Terry Hooper opting out.

“It’s not making any money anymore,” Hooper said. “I feel bad about closing.

I’ve got mixed emotions. But it’s like selling a house. No one wants to do it, but as long as your family is healthy, that’s all that matters.”

Hooper has the building for sale, but no firm offers have come up.

He said temporary flea markets lure his vendors away until they fold.

He suspects some vendors will end up at the flea market near the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

However, the rumour at both Goshen and Antrim flea markets is that someone might open flea market in Renfrew.

Hooper said it probably wouldn’t be very big; he doubts city people are willing to drive that far.

The final day for the Antrim Flea Market is Oct. 30.

TOWN OF ARNPRIOR

GIVE AWAY DAY!!!

Saturday, October 1, 2011 How does Give Away Day work?

Leave unwanted, reusable items at the end of your driveway with a sign labeled “FREE”. However, any items that are not claimed by 8:00 p.m. on October 1st, must be removed from the curbside by the owner.

What should I put out for Give Away Day? Items may include electronics, furniture, tools, lamps, dishes, toys, books, sports equipment, etc. All items must be reusable and in good working condition.

Do I need to ask the homeowner if I can take the item?

No! The purpose of Give Away Day is that you do not need to ask the homeowner! As long as there is a sign attached to the item that is labeled “FREE”, the item may be taken. Residents wishing to put items out for Give Away Day must place a sign labeled “FREE” on all items, so that there is no confusion. The Town of Arnprior is not responsible for any items.

If the items are not taken, what should I do?

Any items not claimed by 8:00 p.m. on October 1st, must be removed from the curbside by the owner. The Town of Arnprior will not be responsible for any items and there will not be a special garbage collection. You could consider bringing the item to a second hand shop, posting the item on a website or in the newspaper, or asking friends and family. If the item is reusable and in good condition, there is likely someone that could use it!

Please note that RAIN OR SHINE this event will continue!

Recognizing our youth leaders

Socialism failed

Nominate a Junior Citizen

A

cross Ontario, and right here in the Ottawa Valley young individuals are working hard to make a difference in their own communities and around the world.

The Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA), through the Arnprior ChronicleGuide, is currently accepting nominations for the 2011 Ontario Junior Citizens of the Year Awards.

Founded in 1950, the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA) is a non-profit industry association representing over 300 community newspapers, including this one. Coordinated by the OCNA since 1981, the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards Program has recognized the best of Ontario’s youth with the help of sponsorship from TD Canada and Direct Energy and support from the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.

Do you know a young person who stands out from the rest?

Nominate a special individual who goes above and beyond what is expected of someone their age, someone who invests their spare time in community service, someone who looks past their own needs and inspires those around them.

‘Good kids’ can be found everywhere.

They are our sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, students, team players and employees. Nominating these young leaders for a Junior Citizen award is a chance for them to stand in the spotlight, to be recognized for their dedication and selflessness.

The Junior Citizen awards program is open to youths between the ages of six and 17. Nominations will be accepted until Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2011. Up to 12 nominees will be selected as the final recipients for the 2011 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award and they will be recognized at a special ceremony in Spring 2011.

Nomination forms and further information is available online at www.ocna.org/junior_citizen, or by calling the OCNA office at 905-639-8720, ext.

239.

Remember, today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders. There’s one in every crowd and we think they deserve some recognition and encouragement to continue making a difference.

Parliamentary billiards To the editor: So we’re into a new session of Parliament, and what it will try to accomplish. Well, the session will be much different than what we have experienced in the recent past. The last several years has been a ‘billiard tournament’ that saw the various teams ‘racking the balls up’ but never hitting the cue ball dead on the rack in front of it. Rather, the shots tended to carom ... sometimes hit a pocket ... but more often than not went nowhere.

No one dared strike the rack with force fearing that if the ‘eight ball’ went down, that particular game would be lost. So the Parliaments we have recently had were tournaments of no real impact.

Of course, there were ‘hits’ that had an impact on the rest of the balls on the table, but they were sporadic to say the least.

The people watching the tournament became bored and decided to switch channels and they elected a newly defined billiard tournament. So what makes this next four-year tournament look like and who are the teams?

Without putting catchy names on the teams, I will simply describe them in very loose and symbolic terms. You can determine who they are and moreover, how strong is their cue stick ... how well are the balls racked ... and at the end of tourney ... who is likely to dunk the eight ball before the ‘string of balls has been strung’.

I say this, because the texture of the balls is very important when they are hit, otherwise they will shatter on the table and no team will win very much, if anything.

One team in the tourney has a set of ‘odd balls’ to rack up. Some are more oval than others so how they roll is critical. Many of these new balls have never been struck by a hand with a strong cue stick, so how they splatter over the table is really a question mark.

Another team has a set of old billiard balls that are tarnished and in need of a real treatment of WD 40. Yes I know that WD 40 is made of fish oil, but that fish oil can do a lot of interesting things provided it is put onto the right set of balls at the right time.

Timing is very critical to this team. Too much oil means the balls will simply slip around and miss the pocket. This team must re-oil its balls very carefully.

To the editor: Since we will soon be voting in our provincial election, it will be beneficial to expond on the differences between socialism and capitalism. Not all of socialism is bad and not all of capitalism is good. By contrast, democracy and capitalism are closely connected as are socialism and communism. The differences are easily recognized by the Cold War between the greatest socialist country, Russia, and the greatest capitalist country - America. Who won this war? The destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1989 is the symbol of the victory and superiority of capitalism over socialism. Socialism in Russia failed to produce the utopia it had promised, and it will probably fail if tried in Canada.

Capitalism promotes the equality of opportunity to acquire wealth, but socialism promotes the equality of standard of living by redistribution of wealth by overtaxing the wealthy to give to the poor. Capitalism promotes hard work to achieve desired goals, but socialism promotes “the world owes me a living.” Everyone does not deserve the same standard of living. Should not those who work harder, longer and smarter be rewarded for their efforts? In socialism, the lazy are rewarded in their laziness and the industrious are punished for their hard work. Taxes are inevitable, but they should be fair to all - rich and poor, not robbing the rich to give to the poor.

The cause of poverty is not always laziness. Socialists who blame the wealthy capitalist for poverty, must surely recognize that there are many causes of poverty, such as lack of education, poor work skills, lack of initiative, poor health, poor financial planning and unwillingness to take risks. Of course, we should help others overcome these disadvantages and many capitalists do help.

There are rich socialists and poor capitalists.

Poor capitalists usually work hard to raise their standard of living, but rich socialists usually expect “big daddy government” to bail out the poor.

Question: how did the rich socialists get rich?”

There are two basic types of rich capitalists: the greedy and the benevolent. The greedy deprives his workers of wages and benefits while living in luxury and refuses to share his wealth.

The benevolent provides hundreds of good paying jobs and then shares his wealth by making large contributions to hospitals, universities and libraries. Unfortunately, most socialists rant about the greedy capitalists, but fail to give credit to the many benevolent capitalists.

Economically, Canada is closely tied to the U.S. Whatever happens to adversely affect the U.S. economically will adversely affect Canada’s economy. It has been suggested that if socialists want to prove the superiority of socialism over capitalism, that they go south and help Barak Obama, who is crippling the greatest capitalistic country with his socialistic agenda. So, if you want to cripple our Canadian economy, first go south and cripple the U.S. economy.

Fundraiser for 12-year-old fighting rare form of cancer STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

He wants to farm and be an auctioneer, like grandfather Gerald Walsh, but he faces bigger challenges on the immediate horizon.

Tyler McEnroe, 12, of Arnprior is fighting a rare form of cancer. Leukemia is relatively common among children, but not this form. One of his grandmothers, Barbara Wilson of Cobden, said this type, known as hypereosinophilia, attacks the bone marrow and can have an adverse impact on the heart.

“There are only 35 other known cases in North America,” said Wilson, noting this form of cancer was last identified on this continent in 1998.

“He’s the healthiest sick kid I’ve ever seen. He’s a very ambitious, determined 12-year-old,” added his grandmother, who lives near Cobden with her husband (Gerald Walsh).

Tyler was only diagnosed in midMay 2011, but the good news is a perfect stem-cell donor has been found.

Tyler was scheduled to undergo a stem-cell transplant today (Sept. 29) at the Sick Children’s Hospital in Toronto.

The transplant is coming courtesy of a three-year-old girl’s umbilical cord.

Tyler, meanwhile, had been living in a rented apartment in Toronto with his mom, Laurie Selle of Arnprior, between medical treatments at the Sick Children’s Hospital. This is because Tyler started receiving chemotherapy Sept. 21.

This was to be followed by several sessions of radiation treatment this

Tyler’s other grandparents, Ralph and Chris Selle of Douglas, are also helping support the Oct. 8 fundraiser, as are several other Cobden- and Douglas-area families.

Musical contributors for the benefit, in order of appearance, will be the Enright children, the Helferty family, 4-H square dancers, and the Douglas Connection, whose members include grandfather Ralph and uncle Keith.

Organizers and family supporters are also maintaining the same positive attitude Tyler exhibits every day.

“We’re hoping and praying everything is going to be fine because, like every other kid, he’s special,” says Wilson.

Major organizers of the benefit are Darcy and Jen Lynch, and Tim and Teresa Lynch. To donate auction items, please email Darcy at lynchdp@yahoo. com or call 613-432-7037.

After today’s surgery, Tyler is expected to be in isolated medical care for 10 to 45 days, says his Cobden grandmother.

Afterwards, Tyler will have to travel between Arnprior and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) in Ottawa for follow-up medical appointments.

The benefit is being staged to help foot the family’s travel and out-of-town living expenses.

Arnprior councillors will ensure the 150th anniversary celebrations will be done in style, with or without money from the federal government.

With the budget at just over $64,500, the town is committing $10,000 at the moment.

However, if a federal grant for $29,000 is turned down, the town will kick in a total of under $40,000.

Parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur said the chances of winning the grant are as good as “flipping a coin,” but that a solid commitment is needed at this stage before performers can be booked.

They need to know before Christmas.

Much is planned for Robert Simpson Park, including a wild west show, pioneer village, log-rolling contest and more.

Other events are coming together in other parts of town, too.

Reid said the town celebrates its 150th anniversary once, and it should be done right.

Reeve Walter Stack agreed.

“It has to be done and it has to be a firstclass act,” Stack said.

Council voted unanimously in favour of spending the $29,000 if the grant fails.

Possibly good pool shots in parliament Continued from Page 9 The last team must be very careful in how they play out this tournament. Too much ‘ball spin’’ will sink the eight ball quickly and those kinds of quirks and quarks simply mean they lose the tournament in default because they simply didn’t read the ‘English’ on the cue ball and how the rest of the balls will react.

This team has an opportunity to make some really good shots on the table ... but

that little ball with the 8 on it is a powerful ball on the table ... the team captain must be very careful how he coaches this team or they will ‘tank’’ in default of how well they manipulate their shots.

Oh by the way .... I am a lousy pool player, so I would never try to spray anyone’s balls on this ... or anyone else’s table either.

Big win for Aftica German Shepherds SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

It wasn’t Leanne Krieger’s first victory at the German Shepherd Dog Club of Canada National Specialty Championship Show, but it was perhaps one of the sweetest.

The owner of Aftica German Shepherds, established in 1990 in McNab-Braeside, Krieger and two-year-old Ace returned from the Canadian championships with the prestigious title of 2011 Canadian Maturity Victor of Canada.

To even qualify for the event, a dog has to come out on top in one of six regions in Canada. Ace was top Maturity Victor for the Ontario/Quebec region and Krieger is just thrilled that the winning continued at the nationals, held Sept. 8-10 in Cloverdale, B.C. “It’s quite a thing,” says Krieger. “It’s a very, very big honour.”

Aftica has had more than 25 various Canadian championships at the Canadian championship breeders showcase, something Krieger attributes to her focus on quality not quantity.

While her love of all her dogs is obvious, Ace has a special place in Krieger’s heart.

“Ace is a very special dog.

He is the result of a frozen surgical implant from a sire that was collected in 1997,” explains Krieger.

“Ace was bred for beauty, brains and excellency in mounts,” she says.

The victory is especially sweet because Krieger decided to start the litter several years ago when she was getting back on her feet after

To help show Canadians that shelter dogs are good dogs, the makers of Pedigree have launched a series of Adoption Stories videos online at www. mypedigree.ca that feature real-life shelter dogs – Bootsie and Phoenix.

For every view of the Adoption Stories videos, the makers of Pedigree will donate $1 up to a maximum of

Humane Society teams up with Pedigree for adoption drive Good dogs sometimes find themselves facing a little bad luck.

Luckily, animal shelters such as the Arnprior & District Humane Society are there to provide a safe and loving home for these dogs as they wait for their second chance.

The makers of Pedigree have teamed up with the Arnprior & District Humane Society and 29 other animal shelters across Canada for the fourth annual Pedigree adoption drive campaign to show that shelter dogs are good dogs and to raise awareness of the importance of dog adoption.

As a part of the Pedigree adoption drive, the Arnprior & District Humane Society will receive a maximum donation of $5,000 this year from the makers of Pedigree and will also be featured on the company’s website.

“The staff and countless volunteers at the Arnprior & District Humane Society truly dedicate themselves to these dogs to ensure that they are cared for and have another chance at a happy life.”

AUDIENCE QUESTIONS A questioner asked about job creation.

Reid said shortening the years for apprenticeships in the trades will help.

Dougherty said his party’s Buy Ontario, Buy Local policy will boost resource jobs by forcing value-added work be done in the province, and farmers will benefit because every public building will have to offer Canadian food. O’Leary said his party is cutting taxes and red tape, keeping the Eastern Ontario Development Fund, but that one of the best ways to create jobs is to fund education.

On improving health care, Reid sug-

Two candidates were missing from a Renfrew all-candidates’ debate, but only one earned the ire of organizers.

Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) teacher and union representative Jeff Barber, who mediated the Sept. 21 debate in the school gym, accepted that Green party candidate Kyle Jones was sick. Barber said he was “disappointed” with PC incumbent John Yakabuski’s response that he won’t attend one-issue debates.

Barber said it was explained to Yakabuski that the first 10 questions were on education, but that the floor would be opened to audience questions after that.

He also noted that Yakabuski attended an agriculture-focused debate in Cobden.

“I teach history and civics and I tell my students you vote based on the party, the leader, but most importantly on the local candidate,” Barber said. “Unless we hear from all of them – how do we know what we are getting.”

About 45 people showed up for the evening event, including New Democrat Brian Dougherty, Liberal John O’Leary, and Confederation of Regions candidate Murray Reid. The seating arrangement, with Dougherty on the left, O’Leary in the centre, and Reid on the right became an analogy for where each stood in the issues.

A question on standardized testing led the NDP candidate to say resources are now diverted to focus on testing. He wants to empower teachers to guide students and move to a “random sampling” of all grades.

O’Leary, who is the governing Liberals senior advisor on education matters, called it an “important tool” that parents support. Core learning requirements have gone up under his party, he added, but expanding standardized testing is not under consideration.

Reid, a baby boomer, often referenced his time in school during the evening.

That was when kids learned to read and write “not like a lot of kids today.” He said in the 1960s, students were frequently tested and that it prepares them for the workforce.

On the funding formula, based on student enrollment numbers that many see as negatively impacting small rural schools, the Liberal candidate said “schools have never been better supported” and that a new grant is coming to keep smaller local schools open. O’Leary pointed to the Mike Harris common sense book that said education would be cut by 20 per cent without affecting health care or law-and-order funding.

Reid said newcomers in Toronto should learn Canadian culture and English.

Dougherty said the NDP would re-evaluate the funding formula, which bases its numbers on 1997 levels. It doesn’t account for the rise in special needs students.

Capping class sizes was a question that night and many years ago, Reid said. He said it has “never worked out” and must be a product of new math or algebra.

The Liberal candidate championed the program and said one-on-one time with a teacher is crucial.

Dougherty said the smaller class sizes

are good, but more teachers for special needs and language-challenged students are needed.

O’Leary mentioned on a few occasions that the NDP doesn’t have education facts and figures in its platform. Dougherty said the leader will unveil the rest of the platform, just as leaders of other parties will do with theirs.

On increasing the number of specialist teachers in areas such as art, music and drama, Dougherty answered yes; Reid said teachers used to do extras for free; and O’Leary lamented losses during the Harris years but pointed to “student success teachers” who seek out struggling students as specialists.

On fundraising fees, O’Leary said bake sales and more are good – but that schools shouldn’t raise money for the basics. The NDP pledge to spend $20 million to displace money parent councils raise, and $20 million for school trips, events and other activities. Reid said many trips are too lavish for low-income families.

Dougherty pressed the Liberal candidate to explain why schools have fees when the education act says they shouldn’t.

O’Leary said there are no fees related to basics such as textbooks.

On full day kindergarten O’Leary said the program saves parents up to $6,500 annually, and should be in all schools by 2014. He said the PCs are promising the same, but “with changes.” He wondered if those changes mean without teachers or with fees. He also noted the PCs opposed the program.

“I don’t have a lot of faith it will be there,” he said.

Reid said he wasn’t damaged by not going to kindergarten.

Dougherty said the program works, but there should be adequate stabilization funding for private daycares.

On reducing bullying and cyber-bullying, Reid said “take away cellphones” and that students should take a course on “how to get along.” Dougherty said anti-bullying should be taught earlier on.

O’Leary said the PCs voted against substantial measures to punish bullies, including expulsion and mandatory reporting to police in cases of serious violence.

When the topic of special needs kids came up, Dougherty said 30,000 students are waiting for services, and the NDP will increase funding for mental health.

O’Leary said the Liberals made it easier for therapists to get into classrooms. Reid said education should be paid for through income tax, not property tax.

Candidates discuss transportation, small business and more at chamber meeting SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The debate was mainly friendly and a modest-sized crowd turned out when three Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke provincial candidates met in Arnprior last week at an event hosted by the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce.

Provincial Conservative John Yakabuski, Liberal John O’Leary and the New Democratic Party’s Brian Dougherty answered written questions from the audience on a variety of topics that ranged from the highway to our aging population. Green candidate Kyle Jones was sick and missed the debate, while the late entry into the race of Confederation of Regions candidate Murray Reid left him out of the invitation.

Moderator Jason Marshall of Metroland Media posed the questions to the candidates at the event at Arnprior District High School Sept. 22.

“Should the focus on four-laning Highway 17 up the Ottawa Valley continue or should we be focusing on less gas-guzzling ways to get around,” he asked the candidates.

When he first came to Arnprior to meet his in-laws, Brian Dougherty heard it referred to as the ‘highway of death’ so he was pleased with the ongoing expansion.

More needs to be done to improve transportation options, though, he said.

The riding is vast and large and trains would be a great option for freight and commuter trains, he added.

There’s nothing to be done about what’s already been pulled of the CN line so it’s time to look ahead. “I just want to make sure that what remains of these tracks are put to good use,” he said, noting snowmobile, cross country ski and hiking trails are popular features on former rail lines.

Yakabuski gave the county credit for its partnership in kicking in gear the expansion of Highway 17.

“We’ve certainly been pushing it,” he said, noting the latest $65-million section of the project will be completed next year.

When the government decided it would not purchase the CPR line, Yakabuski told the federal government officials the next phase of the highway must be a priority.

“It makes no sense whatsoever to stop at Arnprior,” said Yakabuski. “There can’t be that many unseemly delays. This project must continue,” he said.

In terms of the CN line, Yakabuski said he tried up to the last minute to have the pulling of the tracks delayed. “At the end of the day, the federal government chose not to, the provincial government chose not to,” he said.

O’Leary said the government’s commitment to Highway 17 improvements is evidenced in the expansion.

“You don’t have to spend a lot of time on Highway 17 to see a lot of significant improvements that are going on right up and down the highway,” he said. The government does all it can to ensure the highway is safe.”

He noted the Liberals have a new multiyear infrastructure plan, one of the largest planned investments in infrastructure history.

BUSINESS SUPPORT All candidates felt small business needs to be supported by government.

“The reality is small business counts for 90 per cent of jobs created,” said Yakabuski. “We will be the best partner that small business ever had.”

The Liberals will continue to support small business with programs and tax reforms.

“It’s not government or business, it’s all of us together, my friend,” said O’Leary.

The NDP plan will make it easier for small business owners right away by lowering small business tax and offering incentives for new jobs created.

“Ontario is a have-not province,” said Dougherty. “A province that is so rich in natural resources is a have-not province, it doesn’t make sense.”

been doing it all along, he said.

“What would I do? I’ve been doing it,” said Yakabuski. He meets regularly with ministers to ensure Renfrew-NipissingPembroke gets its fair share.

“I’ve been here to go over the projects and make sure we’re not being left behind,” he said. “That’s why you have to have the best person possible to represent you.”

O’Leary said his rural roots, life in an urban setting and experience working for the senior level of government offers a unique perspective.

“I have seen the importance of making sure that polices and programs aren’t just Torontocentric,” he said. “I can bridge that rural-urban divide in a way that others can’t,” he said.

In closing, the candidates thanked debate organizers, those in attendance and the media for the debate.

“I think that the Liberal party has the right plan for the right time and together we can continue to build Renfrew County into one of the best places in Ontario to live,” said O’Leary.

“I have been tremendously proud to be your MPP for eight years,” said Yakabuski.

“It’s never been more important to have a strong representative in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pem-

broke.”

Dougherty said he and his wife had options, but they chose the Valley because it was where they wanted to live. He’s committed to working to improve life for people in the riding.

“I think the NDP are the best option, not just for this riding, but for Ontario,” he said.

Long-term health care, seniors and education were also among the evening’s topics.

Arnprior appearance for provincial candidates

News

Candidate vows NDP to grow key industries, jobs New Democrats have plans to protect and create jobs through positive, practical solutions for the forest industry and agriculture, says the local candidate.

“With the recent unveiling of platform planks on forestry, energy and the environment, the Ontario NDP is offering voters a plan that will provide the province’s forestry sector with vital support it needs as well as a boost to area farmers,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke candidate Brian Dougherty.

Ontario has shed over 40,000 forestry jobs, and current wood reallocation processes have caused more than 30 mills to

shut down, affecting entire communities.

In Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, many mills have closed, while most have greatly cut back employment, leaving millhands and bush crews idle.

“People in the forest industry tell us they’re up against impossible competition internationally due to corporate trade deals, as well as the global economic crisis,” said Dougherty, who met to discuss issues with former Renfrew County head forester Robin Cunningham. “The NDP offers new thinking and affordable ideas to combat the crises we face in jobs and forestry.”

To meet Ontario’s energy needs in an environmentally beneficial way, the NDP will open new markets for wood products and energy by investing in biomass electrical generation and other forms of cogeneration.

“The NDP plans to call for proposals for new biomass energy generation that can utilize waste from mills and forest operations as well as agricultural residue,” said Dougherty. “This is just the kind of thinking needed to get our mills going again and offer hope to local people. The mills need a market for their waste in order to operate at all.”

He said the Liberals “messed up” the renewable energy file by giving all the opportunity to huge corporations and totally overlooking communities and rural needs. “An NDP government would call between four to five percent (4-5 per cent) for proposals to locate large-scale biomass at least, if the Hudak PC Party cancels generators near transmission corridors.” this agreement.

Since 2008, $1 billion has been uploaded from municipalities, giving local communities in the Ottawa Valley more flexibility to repair roads, upgrade infrastructure, and address other local priorities.

“Local priorities like improving local roads and other infrastructure need to be addressed, and many priorities won’t get the attention that they need if the uploading is stopped,” O’Leary penned.

“I believe our uploading agreement with Renfrew County must continue, and if I am elected, I will make sure that uploading continues.”

Liberals promise to keep uploading Provincial Liberal candidate John O’Leary wrote to Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet to reiterate his support for ongoing municipal uploading.

O’Leary has heard time and again, from mayors, councillors, as well as local families, that they are concerned a Tim Hudak PC Party would stop uploading $500 million from the property tax base across Ontario.

The uploading agreement Ontario Liberals signed with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario is easing the property tax burden by assuming the cost of social services, court security, land ambulance services, and public health. Property taxes in Renfrew County would rise

Dougherty said that instead of giving all the renewal energy business to giant corporations, as the Liberals have done, “We would want at least 50 percent to be community non-profits. Andrea Horwath and the NDP are committed to measures that would strongly encourage biomass energy generation under community direction, keeping the money in our community.”

The NDP plans to see Ontario promote and encourage increased uses of wood at all levels. “Amendments to building codes, for example, could permit mid-rise wood construction would provide jobs and showcase Ontario as a world leader in the use of forest products,” Dougherty said.

In addition, large and mid-size companies will be eligible for an industrial hydro rate so that Ontario’s rates are competitive with neighbouring jurisdictions.

John Yakabuski is focusing on help for the forestry industry and reducing taxes during the closing days of the election.

The forestry industry has taken some body blows under the McGuinty government through neglect and legislation, according to Yakabuski, incumbent MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke and the Conservative candidate in the October 6 provincial election.

“There has been no consultation with industry professionals concerning such legislation as the Endangered Species Act, whose changes put those in the forestry industry at the top of its list,” Yakabuski said today.

Many of the changes have resulted in skyrocketing costs to lumbermen, he added.

“I spoke to one forester who told me his costs have gone up 50 per cent as a result of this legislation because of having to put people and machinery on hold when a species may be in the area that is listed as protected,” Yakabuski said.

He went on to say that the industry needs to be able to use some common sense through amendments to the Act that would allow discretion in such situations.

“Our lumbermen have always put conservation and species protection first and we expect nothing less from them if we give them some discretionary power needed to exercise common sense,” he added.

High stumpage fees are another roadblock to the success of the lumber industry, as they prevent local foresters from being able to compete with other wood producing countries, specifically the U.S. In speaking with mill operators it is clear that one of the highest input costs is electricity.

“The McGuinty liberals have done nothing but add to this burden,” added Yakabuski.

“We need to make changes that will support the lumber industry in Renfrew County and across Ontario, not only legislative changes but implementing new initiatives such as biomass production that will enable our foresters to be competitive and not stand in their way,” Yakabuski said.

“As the Member of Provincial Parliament for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke for the past eight years I have always stood up for the interests of the forestry industry, which has provided so much growth and prosperity for generations of Renfrew County residents,” he added.

Yakabuski concluded by saying, “My commitment to this industry has been and will remain strong should I be honoured with re-election on Oct. 6.”

vide families, seniors and small business with the break they need according to PC incumbent candidate John Yakabuski.

“Under Dalton McGuinty, the Liberals have added one tax after another, and in few places is that more evident than on

your energy bills,” Yakabuski said.

For example, he said a PC government would remove the HST (harmonized sales tax) from home hydro bills.

He also said a PC government would bring energy costs back under control.

Police Five men ranging in age from 38 to 70 and from Ottawa, Arnprior and Vancouver, were arrested for public nudity in Gatineau Park Sept. 21.

MRC des Collines said the men, were found after complaints of naked people on a trail near Meech Lake. Police indicated the arrests are a preview of their actions next summer.

Sleepy PI Police report a passerby called them at around 4 p.m. Saturday to report a suspicious situation.

A man was sleeping inside a car that had been parked on Upper Dwyer Hill Road since early in the morning.

On investigation police discovered the sleeping driver was actually a private investigator who had fallen asleep.

Fatal crash case back in court Oct. 5 The case of a Pembroke woman facing several charges related to a fatal head-on collision near Arnprior March 31 is slowly making its way through the courts.

Christy Natsis, 46, will next appear in Renfrew provincial court Oct. 5. A judicial pre-trial session on the case has been scheduled for Sept. 27 in Ottawa.

Natsis was charged with impaired driving causing death after a Highway 17 crash just west of the White Lake Road intersection that killed 50-year-old Brian Casey of Ottawa.

Finding a way through the mental health system GEOFF DAVIES AND LAURA MUELLER

mental health is improving, funding isn’t following suit.

But Ottawa Public Health is trying to do its part. The city added $300,000 into its budget starting in 2011 aimed at adding suicide-prevention programming for parents and to provide funding to allow the Youth Services Bureau’s downtown crisis drop-in centre to be open for an extra day each week (that announcement is coming next month).

It’s a big step that marks Ottawa Public Health’s entry into the mental health field, Leikin says.

“We’re new to this in the sense that we’ve just started to make these strong connections in the mental-health area,” he says. “Whereas before Ottawa Public Health was an expert and a leader on various health topics, now mental health is becoming one of them, which is really exciting for us.”

The focus for the programs, which could start as soon as January, will be on youth in grades 7 and 8 – the “transition years,” says Nicole Frappier, who is also with Ottawa Public Health.

But Ottawa Public Health wants to make suicide part of the dialog with parents starting right at pre-natal classes, Frappier says.

It’s an especially pressing issue in Ottawa, where eight per cent of youth have seriously considered trying to kill themselves. That is a significantly higher rate than the rest of Ontario, a city report notes.

It’s the type of programming that officials hope will make a difference to families like the Grahams.

Now with several courses under her belt, Shelly Graham is learning more about suicide so she does know what to do.

Education is key for everyone, including parents, she says. One day, when she’s ready, she hopes to share her knowledge in classrooms.

What’s most important, she has learned, is to reach out to people suffering. Though it may be uncomfortable, making the effort to break through could save a person, and spare the web of people who love them.

“There’s a real shame that comes with suicide. We will not be ashamed,” says Shelly. “Jesse was an awesome guy and we are going to talk about him. He was loved. Shame is what immobilizes you and it’s what keeps people suffering in silence. “And there’s been enough suffering in silence.”

W

hen 17-year-old William Ross realized he couldn’t hold back from harming himself, he ran downstairs and asked his mother to drive him to CHEO. Jesse Graham told six people he was thinking about killing himself, says Shelly, Jesse’s mother, but he never spoke to a professional about his demons. The people Jesse told kept it to themselves.

Today, William is recovering. Jesse took his own life last summer.

It’s a cruel twist of fate that the stories of these two young men, who faced such similar inner struggles, ended so differently.

As is the case for many teens struggling with mental health challenges, it often comes down to knowing how to access the resources they need.

William, who went through counselling when he was 12, knew. Jesse didn’t.

That’s why the first point of contact for most suicidal teens is the hospital emergency room, or a visit from the police, says Dr. Kim Sogge, chief of psychology professional practice at the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group.

“It’s a real dilemma for families,” she says.

Sogge says mental health professionals and agencies in Ontario and Ottawa need to do a better job of educating families and making them aware of the resources available to them.

Ben Leikin of Ottawa Public Health couldn’t agree more.

He is one of the partners involved with the Community Suicide Prevention Network.

The network arose as a result of the growing awareness of suicide that followed the high-profile suicide of 14-yearold Ottawa resident Daron Richardson last fall. The aim is to co-ordinate resources by bringing together the executive directors and decision makers from a range of service providers.

After several months of meetings and consultations, the network decided the most pressing issue facing the mental health field in Ottawa is ensuring people are aware of the resources available and how to access them.

Leikin pointed out there are a lot of big issues that need to be addressed, like decreasing the stigma that still surrounds these issues, and creating a media awareness campaign to get the message out. But “bigger than those things, or a

OUT OF THE DARKNESS A series about youth suicide Part 3: Mental health professionals and agencies work together for better community awareness big important piece of that, is still how to navigate the system,” Leikin says. “So that’s going to be what we tackle.”

The network will be creating “navigation maps” to guide both youth and parents through the mental-health system.

“It will go into a bit more detail of how to navigate yourself through the system.

It will … provide information about how one could work through it to get the appropriate services,” Leikin says.

Sogge says although awareness about

Workshops The Canadian Mental Health Association offers a series of suicide prevention training workshops in Ottawa: • SafeTALK: a three-hour course for people over the age of 15 to help identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first aid resources.

The cost is $40 to $60 to take the course.

• Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST): a two-day program offered 20 times a year in Ottawa that teaches suicide first-aid skills to anyone who may come into contact with a person at risk, using the most widely-used suicide intervention model in the world. The cost is $180 to take the course. More than 1,000 people take the course every year.

For more information call 613737-7791.

Ottawa school boards have their own ASIST trainers.

Connecting with resources A new website, www.ementalhealth.ca, is making it easier for people to connect with the mental-health services that are appropriate for them.

In addition to having a directory, it is like a Google search for mental health services, said Ben Leikin, mental health project officer for Ottawa Public Health.

“So if you want to search something like ‘psychologist for a 14-year-old,’ it will bring up private practise psychologists as well as some programs that exists for free. It indicates right on it is there is a fee, if it’s bilingual and where it’s located,” Leikin said.

The search also brings up news articles and useful links.

Canada needs a national suicide prevention strategy BLAIR EDWARDS blair.edwards@metroland.com

T

he biggest item on the wish list of Ted Charette, co-ordinator of Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Mobile Crisis and Intake Services, is Canada adopting a national suicide prevention strategy.

Canada is the only G-8 country without a national suicide prevention strategy.

The Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention is working on preparing a national suicide prevention strategy.

“I think it’s starting to gain some weight and some support around the families,” says Charette.

“We’ve had a blueprint for many, many years,” says Rene Ouimet, a director of the Canadian Mental Health Association and a member of the Canadian Association of Suicide Prevention.

Canada needs a body to co-ordinate suicide prevention programs across the country, said Ouiment.

“We keep lobbying,” she said.

The Canadian Association of Suicide Prevention released a suicide prevention strategy in 2004.

•

•

•

• •

The objectives of the strategy include: Promote awareness across the country that suicide and suicidal behaviour is everyone’s problem and is preventable.

Increase the number of employers and volunteer groups that have suicide prevention, intervention and post-intervention programs.

Promote understanding that “breaking the silence surrounding suicide increases realistic opportunities to save lives and to reduce suffering.

Launch an anti-stigma campaign.

Reduce the availability and lethal-

ity of suicide methods (such as guns).

• Increase training for recognition of risk factors, warning signs and atrisk behaviours.

• Develop a national crisis-line network.

• Increase services and support to those bereaved by suicide or who have attempted suicide.

• Increase funding for suicide prevention programs.

“The only way we’re going to prevent suicide is to talk about it openly and directly,” said Ouimet.

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

McNab-Braeside fire Chief Ken Walton is reminding the public to be fire safe this season when it comes to home heating.

His comments came after township firefighters attended

the first chimney fire call of the season at a home on Mullen Road recently.

“Please have your fire pipes cleaned and checked for creosote build-up,” urges Walton.

You can never to be too care-

ful, he adds, when it comes to safety.

The arrival of fall is also a great time to check that smoke alarms, mandatory on each floor of a home, are working properly.

Same goes for carbon monoxide detectors, says the chief.

“Now that we’re coming into home heating season, you want to make sure all equipment is working properly,” says Walton.

Make sure your smoke alarms work!

Test your smoke alarms at least once a month. Only remove the batteries to replace them.

Partway along their downward descent they start flapping again, only to rise up once again, a pattern repeated all through the night.

Geese don’t fly this way but by forming their famous ‘V’ flocks they conserve energy. Each bird aligns itself behind the wingtips of the bird ahead where air is being pushed up by the wing tip.

Each follower saves energy by exploiting the free lift provided by the bird ahead.

Geese also honk a lot as they fly. It is said they are using contact calls to keep the family groups together.

The recent warm temperatures may have us thinking that summer is never going to end. However, the actions of our wild neighbours tell us this is only wishful thinking.

Red Squirrels are busy felling cones from pines while Beavers tirelessly tow poplar limbs to their ever-burgeoning food piles. And flocks of geese are now winging their way across the sky.

If you listen quietly at night, you will still hear the chirps and cheeps of boreal birds migrating south.

The fall migration is still ongoing and now many migrants from the far north such as American Pipits and American Golden and Blackbellied plovers are passing through.

Soon the darlings of the north, the Snow Buntings, will be paying us a visit.

Arnprior Mayor David Reid, centre left, and Galilee Centre’s Father Jack Lau are in the new Peace Garden with Noreen and Joe Lamorie, along with Katherine Miller-Gatenby.

Galilee unveils peace pole, gardens What they heard from each prayer The new Peace Pole at the Galilee Centre was up in was that from the depth of the human time for this year’s International Day of Peace on spirit, where the divine dwells, all Sept. 21. yearn for peace.

Mayor David Reid of Arnprior and Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie of McNab-Braeside were both present and shared their thoughts of peace.

Blimkie said the moment she crossed the threshold she felt the spirit of peace.

This event was in collaboration with the Department of Peace Canada Initiative and the Missionary Oblate Justice/Peace and the Integrity of Creation Committee.

It is hoped that Gardens at Galilee will continue to be an oasis of peace and healing for the community.

For more visit www.galileecentre. com or call 613-623-4242.

In the name of peace Left, Theresa Dunn, the Eastern co-chair of the Canadian Department of Peace Initiative addresses the crowd and introduces the band with one of its members Gord Breedyk from Grateful We’re Not Dead. The band members offered their talents for free for the Run, Ramble and Rafter Laughter fundraiser at The Barn on Kippen Sept.10. Attendees gathered to walk, run, enjoy a meal and listen to music throughout the evening at the farm of Enid Blackwell and Bob Hinchley.

What started as a grass-roots initiative has developed into a strong network of peace-

minded people across the country, working to create a culture of peace and establish a formal Department of Peace as part of the structure of the federal government.

Several events occurred in the Arnprior area as part of the Peace Festival in recognition of the International Day of Peace Sept. 21. “Our mission is to bring a level of consciousness to society so that we can actually have a day of not thinking about violence,” said Dunn, of Arnprior. “If we can do it for just one day a year, we can do it for the other 364 days.”

The gardens were designed, built and cared for by the Arnprior team of Ann and Bill Lamb and Fr. Jack Lau. As the service began, all were out in front of the building waiting patiently to cross the threshold, but before they could enter, four members of the community unveiled four plaques each in a different language saying “May peace prevail on the Earth.”

After the applause, they all crossed over the old stone threshold into the sacred space of the circular garden.

Different members from the community read from a litany of prayers for peace from world’s faith traditions.

For many it may have been the first time to hear a prayer from the Baha’I faith or the Toa tradition.

Arnprior commemorated International World Day of Peace with the dedication of both a Peace Pole and Peace Garden at Galilee Centre on Sept. 21.

The image of the peace pole came after the destruction of Nagasaki in 1945 by the atomic bomb. In 1955 Masahisa Goi made a statement for peace by using a vertical stone with a declaration of peace on it. Since that day, memorials for peace have been planted around the world.

More than 50 people gathered at the newly planted garden by the main entrance of Galilee Centre. What was once a simple entrance has become an “oasis of peace” and colour.

Double wins for ADHS The ADHS Redmen girls basketball teams have got their seasons off on the right foot with two wins each.

Arnprior opened its season Sept. 22 when they hosted teams from Fellowes and followed up Sept. 27 with two more wins when Madawaska Valley came to town.

The seniors unleashed a balanced attack at the Pembroke team in a 44-24 opening win. Alexis Lough and Natalie Quathamer had eight points apiece for ADHS, while Dana Lacelle and Shannon Power each scored seven.

The Juniors, led by Emma Shoveller’s 18 points, drubbed Fellowes 44-6.

Shoveller added 18 more points in Tuesday’s 41-22 win over Madawaska Valley.

The seniors thumped the Barry’s Bay team 54-16 as Lough netted 11 points and Lacelle and Quathamer scored seven each.

The wins put the Redmen in an early season first-place tie with St. Joseph’s of Renfrew in both divisions.

Lawn bowlers honour founding member At its fall closing meeting, the Galetta Lawn Bowling Club honoured a founding member.

Kin Dillane, president of the club, presented Helen MacHardy with an Honorary Life Membership certificate. Helen, along with her husband Donald, was instrumental in getting the lawn bowling club started in Galetta in 1991.

In addition to providing untiring support for the club’s activities, Helen became an accomplished bowler in her own right.

Helen, who now lives in Fitzroy Harbour, thanked the membership and noted she was pleased that the club is prospering and encouraged all in attendance to keep the traditions going.

The president congratulated Grant Fletcher, Sandra Jefferies, Dave Jefferies, Ted Tozer and Sue Smith on their stellar

play in district, provincial and governorgenerals competitions throughout the summer. Dillane commended and named 25 members who also excelled in various competitions during the playing season.

Gordon Wright presented the trophies to the winners of the various in-house tournaments: triples – John & Carol Stephenson and Andrew Tait; mixed pairs – Jim Bos and Jean McCarron; novice triples – John Stevenson, Bessie McGuire and Elaine Patterson; ladies pairs – Jean McCarron and Greta Vances; men’s pairs – John Bennett and Bob Vance; novice pairs – John Bennett and Marilyn Nixon.

The surprise highlight of the night was the comedic banter of member Jean McCarron of Arnprior. She delighted those in attendance with 15 minutes of one-line zingers.

Redmen gridiron teams win openers The Arnprior Redmen senior football team got off to a good start in defence of its Ontario championship with a 27-8 win over Mackenzie High School in Deep River Sept. 23.

The Junior Redmen also won last Friday, edging the always tough Almonte Thunderbolts 20-13 in the Lanark town.

The Junior Redmen were scheduled to host Smith Falls at 1 p.m. today (Thursday) in their home opener, which followed the

school’s annual Pigskin Parade through the downtown. The game was expected to be another strong test for Arnprior, as Smiths Falls thumped Carleton Place 42-8 last week.

The Senior Redmen don’t play at home until Thursday, Oct. 13, when Madawaska Valley comes for a game at noon.

The ADHS teams will go to Renfrew Thanksgiving Sunday (Oct. 9) for the annual Turkey Bowl.

Right, Arnprior Redmen John Russell (20) tracks down an Almonte ball carrier who will be edged out of bounds by Hayden Goody (5).

Junior play saw the ADHS Redmen edge the Thunderbolts 20-13. Left, Chris Gervais tries to shake off an Almonte defender during action last Friday.

The healthcare staff at ADMH is constantly looking at ways to improve the current medical services we offer as well as opportunities to offer new services. The month of October will see the addition of a Medical Day Program and a new specialist.

A transfusion clinic has been running for a number of years in the emergency department. Beginning October 5 it will change to a Medical Day Program that will run each Wednesday in a dedicated room at the hospital. The Medical Day Program is for patients requiring procedures such as: blood transfusions, IVIG, Albumin, Iron Infusions, Pamidronate and phlebotomy. These procedures were previously done in the emergency department as it was necessary for patients to be monitored the entire time by a registered nurse. While our new Emergency Department is a much improved space following the renovations it will be nicer for patients to have a room dedicated to their specific procedures.

“The Medical Day Program will be of great benefit to our patients. Dedicated appointment times away from the rush of the emergency department will help facilitate access to day procedures in a timely manner” said Dr. Jennifer Rivington, President of the Medical Staff.

Patient receiving a blood transfusion.

For patients requiring the above mentioned procedures the process will remain the same. Your family doctor will send a referral to the Outpatient Clinic and an appointment will be made for the Medical Day Program. On the day of the appointment, patients will need to register at 8 a.m. at the Outpatient B Entrance located at the front of the hospital, your health card in required. A convenient drop off zone is located at this entrance and patients would also be picked up from this location.

October also signifies the arrival of Dr. Christopher Brown. Dr. Brown is an orthopedic surgeon who will be performing arthroscopies and foot surgeries. Patients requiring an appointments will need a referral from their family doctor. Dr. Brown is taking over from Dr. Keegan Au who recently moved back to Newfoundland. It was important for ADMH to find a new orthopedic surgeon as keeping care close to home remains a priority.

Packers lose two one-goal games JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

If the Arnprior Packers could get both their offense and defense working well in the same game, they might be able to get a much-needed win in their home-opener this Friday, Sept.

30.

The Junior B Packers host Almonte Thunder in an 8 p.m. start at the Nick Smith Centre.

The Packers were held to two goals in a 3-2 loss in Renfrew last Friday. They went out and scored seven goals Sunday, but lost 8-7 in Stittsville’s homeopener.

Against Renfrew, Arnprior

nearly overcame a quick 3-0 deficit to their long-time Valley Division rival, only to come up one goal short.

Braedon Moffatt has paced the Packer offense after four games with a goal and six assists. Shane Smith has scored three goals and added two assists.

Special teams have been both the good and the bad for the Packers so far.

Arnprior has by far the best power-play in the league, scoring nine times in 23 opportunities.

However, they have allowed a league worst eight power-play goals against.
