News – The carbon monoxide-related deaths of at least five people in Ontario and Quebec during the recent power outages has sparked an appeal from fire officials for residents to install soon-to-be mandatory carbon monoxide alarms if they haven’t already. “They protect you and your family ‌ they can save your lives,â€? said Arnprior fire prevention officer Rick Desarmia. “Considering that, it’s a small cost to pay (for an alarm).â€? He cautioned that people should be on the lookout for possible backing up of deadly carbon monoxide fumes into the home. This time of year, snow can pile up and block furnace and water heater

exhausts, he warned. As well as keeping vents clear, any device that emits carbon monoxide should be regularly serviced, he added. Two of the deaths were caused by invisible carbon monoxide fumes from a generator running in the attached garage of a home. Another fatality was linked to burning furniture in a fireplace for warmth. Desarmia said people should be prepared for power outages by having emergency kits that can keep them warm and fed for at least 72 hours. But don’t use outdoor items such as barbecues and generators indoors, as their exhausts are deadly in confined spaces, he warned. He said there is information on the dangers of carbon monoxide and what to have in emergency kits available at the Arnprior fire hall.

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND OTHER DEMENTIAS Dementia is a term that generally refers to a variety of brain disorders. Different physical changes to the brain cause different dementias. Some are reversible, meaning that they can be treated and cured, while others are irreversible, meaning there is no cure. Symptoms worsen over time and include: loss of memory, changes in judgment and reasoning, difficulty performing familiar tasks, problems with language and changes in mood and behaviour. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for almost two-thirds of all cases. It is irreversible and eventually fatal. Other dementias include vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia (including Pick’s disease), Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Lewy body dementia. Dementia is not a normal part of aging, but age is the biggest risk factor.

News – The snowy conditions weren’t the best for the runners and walkers in the annual Solstice Run Dec. 20, but it didn’t deter the good spirits of the participants. Main organizer Andy Kalnins said the running was a bit tough this year. Even though the roads and some of the sidewalks along the route in Arnprior were cleaned and plowed, there was enough residual snow to give that “running in sand feeling,� he reported. However, drivers were great, he said, noting passing cars slowed down and gave the intrepid brightly dressed and decorated walkers/runners a wide berth. A lot of people beeped their horns and waved. As well, a few people waved from their homes through windows and a few folks braved the cold to wave from their front steps. East Side Mario’s again offered a hot chocolate station in lieu of the typical water stop. The generous provision of free hot chocolate (with the option of marshmallows) was taken up by just about everybody, he said, adding it was a welcome stop, rest and chance to warm up. About two weeks ahead of the run, the Prior Runners did their usual 7 a.m. Sunday morning run, then met in Galilee for breakfast and to hand-paint the 2013 Solstice Run medallions. The “cherished heirlooms (well, future cherished heirlooms)� were presented to all participants by Galilee board member Reg Gatenby. “We picked the night of the Solstice (more or less) very deliberately,� explained Kalnins. “It is the longest and darkest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It is not yet Christmas, yet it seems like Christmas carols and Christmas commercials have been blaring forever. It is a season for many people of excess in consumption. “So it is beautiful to take in the night and breathe in the pure Ottawa Valley air,� he said. “The snow crunches beneath your feet and the darkness tries to consume you, but it cannot, for you carry light and you are not alone. It is a beautiful metaphor for what this season should be.� After the run, the participants relaxed and enjoyed the Victorian ambiance of the Galilee Centre. People changed out of damp shoes, caught their breath, and sat down to a notso-Victorian meal of chili, lentil soup, salad, butter tarts and carrot cake. The runners compared notes and Anda Sprudzs sang a few songs composed especially for the occasion - the lyrics were unique for the event, but the music may had a very close resemblance to some Christmas carols. Prizes were awarded for best costumes and for some other acts of participation. The evening concluded with many of the runners and walkers retiring to the Velvet Room. There, in front of a blazing Yule Log, there was an oldfashioned singing of Christmas Carols. “It was a fitting conclusion to the night of the Winter Solstice in the Ottawa Valley.�

Former councillor and ‘friend to many’ fondly remembered John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Dale Gillan, a former McNab-Braeside councillor, died Dec. 21 local people.” If someone had a problem, Gillan would “dig in and get them answers,” he said. Hazelwood said Gillan, who was a farmer in the Glasgow Station area, was a strong supporter of the agricultural community and rural people in general. He also was actively involved in promoting improved health care services in both Arnprior and Renfrew and, as a one-time dialysis patient himself, played a key role in have a dialysis unit approved for Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH). “He was a great advocate and supporter of the hospital,” said RVH CEO Randy Penney. Gillan, who represented McNab on the RVH board for several years, was always “keenly interested in the welfare of RVH,” said Penney. He noted that Gillan and his sister Brenda

what to do with the railway corridor, once the matter was settled, there were no hard feelings or anger. “He didn’t hold grudges … he was always friendly, a good guy to work with.” That good-will was helpful in the amalgamation talks between McNab and Braeside. Stewart said Gillan was also a “great community man,” who found time along with his farming, municipal, and hospital and cemetery board duties to actively support the Renfrew fair board, the 4-H movement and the Renfrew County Plowmen’s Association. Stewart said Gillan genuinely enjoyed serving the township and his community and never lost his keen interest in local municipal affairs. He said he continued to enjoy his chats with him long after both had left municipal council. “He’ll certainly be missed by all who knew him … he was a good man.”

News – The community is mourning a popular former McNab-Braeside councillor who died just before Christmas. Dale Gillan is being remembered as a compassionate and effective councillor and dedicated supporter of many local organizations, particularly those in the agricultural and health fields. Gillan passed away “suddenly but peacefully” at his Glasgow Station area home Dec. 21 with his family by his side. He was 74 years old. His wake Dec. 23 and funeral Dec. 24 in Arnprior attracted large crowds of admirers. As well as being actively involved in municipal and community affairs, Gillan is also remembered as a caring family man. He is survived by wife, Jean (nee Eady), and five children (see more details in his obituary in the classified section of this newspaper). “He was probably our most dedicated councillor,” said former McNab-Braeside Mayor Neil Stewart. “He put his heart and all his effort (into representing his constituents). I really enjoyed being a colleague of his.” Gillan served three terms as McNabBraeside councillor from the mid-1990s on, as well as a term as deputy mayor starting in 2003. McNab-Braeside CEO Noreen Mellema called him a “wonderful councillor” and a “very caring person.” As well as being helpful to his constituents, he was always kind and supportive of township staff, she said. Another former McNab township mayor, Norm Hazelwood, noted he was a dedicated councillor who “was pretty well liked by the

Code were “very passionate” and persistent in lobbying provincial officials in support for RVH’s successful efforts to open a dialysis unit so local patients wouldn’t have to make the long trip to Ottawa. As well as being an effective champion for the hospital, he was a “really nice person,” added Penney. Stewart noted that Gillan was tireless and dedicated in his municipal duties, hardly ever missing a meeting despite having to overcome the physical discomforts that eventually resulted in him receiving a kidney transplant. “He was somebody to go to if you wanted something done.” He excelled no matter what committees he was assigned to, said Stewart. “He was happy to do any duty you gave him. Whether it was fire, museum, transportation, everyone said the same thing. They really enjoyed being his colleague.” As well, township staff thought very highly of him, for he was very respectful of their needs, he added. His willingness to help out in all sorts of small but telling ways, from helping staff decorate the Christmas tree to picking up road-kill when the roads staff were otherwise occupied, was appreciated by his colleagues. “He was always willing to help out … he was a very giving person,” said Mellema. “When someone had a problem, he was always there, willing to assist.” He was “wonderful” to staff and was always “so nice,” she added. Stewart said that Gillan, who served as deputy mayor during Stewart’s term as mayor, was unfailingly positive and respectful. He noted that while the two didn’t always see eye-to-eye on all issues, such as

SUBMITTED/KAREN KAVANAGH

Karen Kavanagh, left, meets with Chris Juhasz from Neighbourlink Fountain, to hand over donations collected in a campaign that underscored the generosity of the community.

Families helping families Community - It was a Christmas the Kavanagh family will never forget. When Karen Kavanagh set out to help a fellow family and teach her four children about giving, she had no idea how big the project would become. When support from family and friends started piling up, she turned to social media and when all was said and done ‘Families Helping Families (Arnprior, Braeside, McNab) made a huge difference in the lives of many. “Our grand total was 32 families, seven to whom we delivered personally and all the others were delivered by teams from The Fountain, the food bank and a member of the Legion,” said Kavanah. “We were able to provide everyone with a full turkey dinner, full breakfast and a toy for each child.” Giving back felt good, said Kavanagh, who was overwhelmed by the generosity of the community. “One of the families we were able to help came from a difficult past,” she said. “We were able to purchase them

a brand new crib and wagon/ sleigh amongst many, many donations for their family both new and used.” It was a hectic but heartwarming experience for the Kavanaghs. “My husband and I answered the door well over 75 times in the last two weeks and were greeted by members of our community with smiles, hugs and donations big and small. It makes us so proud to live here,” said Kavanagh. “My husband is military and has been to Afghanistan twice. He has seen poverty firsthand in many countries and for him to be able to help here at home was really meaningful.” The true meaning of the season is giving and the message came across loud and clear for all members of the family. “Our four children have been a big help for us with all of the organizing and sorting of the groceries, even our 19-month-old daughter would immediately carry bags light enough to the stairs as she knew exactly where they were going.” They couldn’t have done it

without all those who helped. “We want to thank everyone who became involved, donated or sent messages of thanks and support. They have made this the success that it is.” Individuals and businesses are to be commended for their help. Businesses that helped include Metro, WalMart Renfrew, O’Brien Theatre, MinCom, Rainbow Heritage Garden and Slater’s Bakery. “We had a few large cash donations one being from The Optimist Club who very generously gave $250,” said Kavanagh. Friend and neighbour Nina McGuire joined others in giving Karen a very special gift for her hard work for others. She will be treated to the ‘Queen for a day’ spa treatment at the Brookstreet Hotel. “Karen has inspired me to help others in need,” said McGuire. “I am just amazed that she was able to do so for others. “That is why I wanted to give her that spa package. She truly deserves it. She worked so hard to make this happen.”

The Kavanagh living room is filled with bags and boxes of donated goodies. More than 30 families were outfitted with a full Christmas dinner, breakfast and a toy for each child.

OPINION

Connected to your community

EDITORIAL

Our choice for newsmaker of 2013 Mother Nature gets our nod for local newsmaker of the year. McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell was a close second. Actually, mainly because of its unpredictability, Mother Nature could be almost any area’s newsmaker of the year. Certainly many folks experienced the results of extreme and unexpected weather conditions. Calgary and surrounding towns were overrun by unprecedented flood waters, the Philippines was hit by a devastating typhoon, the U.S. mid-west was ripped apart by savage tornadoes, people on the Prairies wondered if winter would ever end and to their amazement Vancouver residents had a rain-free summer. By comparison, people in Arnprior and area had few surprises and not much to complain about. But there were enough extreme occurrences to reinforce the growing fear that our weather is becoming more erratic and dangerous. We had a hint of things to come with the sudden damaging downpour on July 2009 that caused the province to declare parts of McNab-Braeside a disaster area. This year it was Toronto’s turn to get hit by a sudden, violent July storm that flooded its downtown and trapped 1,400 people temporarily on a commuter train. Locally we did have unusually high spring run-off and while there was no major damage, we’re uncomfortably close to seven of our neighbours in cottage country that did declare a state of emergency because of flooding. It went from drought in 2012 to too much water in certain areas in 2013. We also dodged the worst of the return of the ice storm that knocked out power to half a million people to the west and south of us just before Christmas. But we didn’t escape the heavy snowfall that made travelling difficult in the days leading up to Christmas. Winter had barely arrived when we were already covered with almost half as much snow as we normally get in a full winter. The blowing snow and too many motorists rushing about seemingly oblivious to the driving conditions led to a large number of vehicles in the ditch and many near misses. So much for the efforts to reduce insurance rates.

The snowfalls must also be causing havoc with snow plow and removal budgets. Just another weather-related expense we all have to deal with. Last year it was a swath through rural pockets of Norway Lake, White Lake, Shamrock and Marshall Bay that was smacked by almost-tornado strength winds. This year it was Petawawa. Could it be Arnprior next year? Wind and thunder storms tend to be getting stronger and more frequent each summer. In the winter, the curse of freezing rain is afflicting us far more often than the days when it only reared its ugly head a couple of times when seasons were changing. It appears we might be getting an old-fashioned cold, snow-filled winter in 2013-14, but it would be no surprise if it turns into a treacherous mix of sleet and freezing rain far too soon and far too often. So a fickle Mother Nature is our newsmaker of the year. We can only hope that the powers-that-be get their heads out of the sand and recognize the dangers. Instead of underfunding and muzzling our scientists, it’s time to unleash and encourage them to guide us in understanding Mother Nature and how we are alienating her before it’s too late. HONOURABLE MENTION

Our honourable mention as newsmaker of the year is also sometimes misunderstood and embroiled in controversy. Mayor Campbell had a rather stormy 2013. She is attempting to change the way rural areas prioritize and fund such services as recreation and library. She has also been in the middle of the Braeside quarry expansion debate that involves such weighty issues environmental protection, economic development, residents’ rights, government jurisdictions and municipal roles. She and her council have also been in the forefront of many other important issues from preserving farm land and mitigating species at risk legislation to providing housing options for seniors and rural sustainability. Those debates are far from settled and will continue to make news as we blow through 2014.

LETTER

Outsider fees make Arnprior unwelcoming To the Editor: I applaud the insight and foresight shown in Doug Smith’s letter (Chronicle-Guide, Dec. 19) about the negative impact that non-resident fees have for the Arnprior community. I live in Vydon Acres; we have an Arnprior address and telephone number. However, we are technically in Ottawa and, therefore, pay taxes to Ottawa. Given our close proximity to Arnprior, we support the businesses of Arnprior for almost all of our shopping and service needs. The people of Arnprior are a great bunch and it is a pleasure to live and deal with them on a daily basis. I am also a volunteer coach for Special Olympics Arnprior in floor hockey and swimming; these sports benefitting Arnprior and neighbouring athletes. So, in most respects I am happy to be a “member of the community.� That is, until I tried to register myself for the Arnprior Greyfish swim program at the Nick Smith Centre and was told that as a non-resident I am required to pay a 50 per cent penalty ($582 vs. $388). The irony here is that even in the same pool that gladly accepts me as a volunteer of my time and effort for the benefit of Arnprior residents, I am still considered an outsider. I explained to the program director that I saw the policy as “small town� and “small minded� and he advised me to take it up with

Town Council and that it was because I did not pay taxes in Arnprior. Interesting to note that all Arnprior residents can play in “my town’s� recreation facilities (Ottawa) for no extra charge. I decided at that time that the same mind-set that created a bylaw to consider me an outsider would be unlikely to want to discus this issue with the outsider, so I dropped it, until I saw Doug Smith’s letter which shows me common sense thinking in this regard. The net result of my personal experience is that the program is not up $582 but down $388 because I did not join. Magnify this by how many other non-resident individuals that do not join programs or teams that do not rent space or ice and I imagine the monetary impact is significant. More importantly and far-reaching is the message these types of policies send that Arnprior is a closed community and outsiders are not really welcome. At a time when the recent 417 expansion provides the potential for growth, and economic prosperity, I believe that abolishing bylaws that treat its nearest neighbours and communities as outsiders would be a signal that Arnprior is a welcoming community, which would be a step in the right direction and benefit everyone.

Uploads balance drop in municipal funding ing it to those municipalities that need it the most. This year, the Province will provide a total of $550 million in unconditional funding through OMPF to 388 municipalities across the province. Here in McNab-Braeside, our government will invest over $400,000 through the OMPF and uploads in 2014. In addition, the County of Renfrew will benefit from $8.3 million as a result of the uploads in 2014. It is important to note that the removal of these costs off the property tax base benefits all taxpayers within the County of Renfrew, including those residing in the Township of McNab-Braeside. By 2014, the benefit to municipalities from our government’s uploads will total over $1.5 billion. The restructured program

will ensure we are better responding to the individual needs of our large and diverse province. Under the redesigned program, certain funds will be targeted to municipalities with more challenging fiscal circumstances. The program will also continue to recognize the unique needs of our rural and northern communities. Our government is committed to working with local partners to build a stronger Ontario. And we are working with communities to ensure that all of the people in this province have the high-quality services they deserve.

To the Editor: In response to Arnprior Chronicle-Guide article (Dec. 12) discussing OMPF funding to McNab-Braeside. Our government is committed to supporting municipalities across Ontario by uploading services, such as Ontario Works and the Ontario Drug Benefits that have weighed heavily on municipal budgets. At the same time, our government has introduced new funding for municipalities through programs such as the Small, Rural and Northern Municipal Infrastructure Fund. Working closely with municipalities, we recently undertook a review of the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) to ensure the funding is stable, consistent and predictable while at the same time target-

Holly Jolly fundraiser a big boost for special transportation

Valley Heritage Radio manager Jason Marshall and on-air personalities Art Jamieson and Dai Bassett are all smiles as the goal is bypassed and open house. Your donations helped to raise $11 000 to assist in making non-urgent medical transportation accessible for all in our

community. The Champlain Community Transportation Collaborative of Renfrew County works together to ensure that seniors and adults

with disabilities who require transportation to non-urgent medical appointments and community support service appointments can receive transportation services in the most efficient and cost-effective way. Our coalition is composed of community support agencies providing transportation in Arnprior, Barry’s Bay, Calabogie, Eganville, Deep River, Golden Lake, Renfrew and Pembroke. Unfortunately for some of our clients, the cost of transportation can be very high depending on where they live in the county or the amount of transporta-

tion required. While each agency works diligently with our clients to make the drives affordable, we too are limited in what we can do at times due to our budgets. As always your support is very much appreciated as we all work together to keep seniors and people with disabilities living at home and living healthy while being able to attend their medical appointments and appointments of daily living.

To the Editor: I wanted to let you all know how the community has really rallied to help out with our Operation Snowsuit urgent request. Thanks to you all for helping to get the message out there. It never ceases to amaze me what a great community we live in. Since sending out my desperate appeal, I have been inundated with calls, emails, Facebook messages, bags, boxes and all kinds of snowsuits, boots, hats and gloves, also money (that never hurts here). In fact so much many bags, boxes, etc. were dropped off at my office, I literally had to leave them in the hall. It took two vehicles to transport them to our Snowsuit HQ. With a few co-workers, I was able to sort the items needed and pack these. We almost filled every order. We are only short boys size-5 boots (two pairs) and ladies snow pants in the following sizes: Large (two pairs), XL (one pair) and 1XL (one pair). Thank you all so very much. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

Don’t close fire bases at year’s end: MPP News – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has again called on the Minister of Natural Resources, David Orazietti, to postpone plans to close fire bases in Renfrew County and Kirkland Lake for one year or until a full analysis of the impacts is completed. The Pembroke and Kirkland Lake closures were announced in early November as part of the provincial government’s “threeyear transformation plan� of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). The fire base closures are scheduled to take place by the end of this year. “My office is contacted every day by individuals expressing significant concerns

Don’t pass snow plows: OPP News – The OPP is cautioning motorists to respectful and cautious around snow plows on area roads. In a news release last week, police made special mention of the importance of keeping clear of tow-plows, an innovative way of using one truck and a new side blade in place of a second truck. While there are still many regular combination units of area highways,

tow-plows are growing in popularity as they help keep down costs and save the environment from additional gas emissions. Motorists are urged to keep in mind: • if following a towplow, the unit will move from left to right of the truck pulling it when deploying operations; • drivers should follow a tow-plow at a distance and should not try to pass;

• drivers should not try to pass any snow plow; • plowing and sanding is only part of staying safe on the roads during the winter. Motorists also have an important role to play by staying alert, slowing down and staying in control – the three key elements to safe winter driving, stress police.

Plenty of owls tallied at Boxing Day bird count Lifestyle - Whilst many people were sleeping off Christmas excesses, 48 hardy individuals were out searching for birds on Boxing Day. This year’s Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count was a special one: Charles Macnamara conducted the very first Arnprior Christmas Bird Count in 1913. This centennial year we were fortunate in having nearperfect conditions for bird counting. The wind remained light all day and the temperatures reached a comfortable -9 °C. By 6:30 a.m. Ryan Zimmerling and I were in Gillies Grove where Eastern ScreechOwls once resided. I say “once” because in the 1980s they were regularly recorded on counts but after Barred Owls moved into the Grove, the little owls vanished. In following years, attempts to elicit responses from Screech-Owls on counts went unrewarded. But this year Ryan Zimmerling and I heard a Screech-Owl respond with its unmistakable waver-

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way ing whinny to my imitations! In Pakenham, shortly after midnight the indefatigable Ray Holland had one fly over his head. The two ScreechOwls set a new record as only a single had been tallied on all previous counts. Other owls were observed in record numbers. A record count of Snowy Owls was anticipated due to the unprecedented influx of that northern species into eastern North America, but the 15 that were tallied was a surprise (seven was the previous record). Eight Barred Owls was

also a new record. The only other record tally was that for Dark-eyed Juncos: no fewer than 348 “tuxedo birds” were counted, most at birdfeeders. Two Belted Kingfishers wintering on Waba Creek cooperated nicely on count day, tying the record set in 1971. In Pakenham, only two of the three Red-bellied Woodpeckers visiting feeders showed up on Boxing Day, equalling the record set last year. The Best Bird Award went to a Varied Thrush that has been frequenting a feeder near Almonte. This stunning orange-breasted, blue-backed western bird was surprisingly not a first for this count; in 1990 one wintered at a feeder oddly not that far from the one currently being visited. While high numbers were recorded for some species, low counts of others were taken. Apart from American Goldfinches, very few finches were seen. There were no crossbills, redpolls, or Evening Grosbeaks. Large seed crops in the North prevented these wanderers from coming

to our region. However, large local fruit crops were responsible for 42 American Robins being tallied. House Sparrows continue their decline. In 1985 we counted 2,011 House Sparrows. This year, only 127 were found. This is my 47th local count (consecutive!) and it was the first on which I did not see a single House Sparrow. The total of 48 species was the lowest in 15 years. Deep snow and earlier periods of severe cold are undoubtedly responsible for an absence of Horned Larks and other count ‘regulars’. A full summary of this year’s Christmas Bird Count will appear on the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club website (mfnc.ca). From the time of writing, there are only another 364 days until my 48th Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count. I am already getting excited!

Most deer hunters comply OPP, OFSC warn snowmobilers with provincial regulations to stay off early winter ice

News – In the November deer hunts in eastern and southern Ontario, the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) laid 243 charges and issued 435 warnings under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. MNR enforcement officers, who checked 6,500 hunters, placed special emphasis on regulations pertaining to safe hunting practices, including wearing hunter orange. They found some hunters wearing an inadequate amount of orange or none at all. VIOLATIONS

Charges and warnings were issued for the following violations: • hunting without carrying a licence; • hunting without having a licence; • hunting at night; • possessing a firearm at night; • having loaded firearms in a vehicle; • failing to properly attach a seal to

deer; • failing to provide the required information on a seal; • trespassing for the purpose of hunting; • interfering with lawful hunting; • failing to wear hunter orange while hunting. Charges and warnings were also issued under the Liquor Licence Act and the Off Road Vehicle Act. Officers are investigating a further 108 matters that will likely result in additional charges. For further information on hunting regulations, consult the 2013-14 Hunting Regulations Summary, available at Ontario.ca/hunting. To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) tollfree any time or contact a ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

News - Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is urging people to stay clear of its hydroelectric stations and dams and use extra caution on lakes and rivers. “Our message is simple: Stay Clear! Stay Safe,” said OPG senior vice-president Mike Martelli. “This is a great time to enjoy the outdoors, but people should stay away from our hydroelectric dams and stations. These areas are never safe for recreational activities.” Despite recent cold weather, it’s not unusual for some areas of the province to experience above freezing temperatures and rain over the holiday period. This will mean increased water flows on Ontario waterways. The water near dams is always flowing, which means ice near them does not form as solidly as it does on still water.

R0012492661/0102

Dams no place for winter play

News – The OPP and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) are reminding snowmobilers that no ice can be considered 100 per cent safe to ride on with a snowmobile. This is especially true this winter when ice is forming earlier than usual in many areas and may look safe, but is not yet thick or strong enough to hold snowmobiles.

OPP and OFSC recommend that snowmobilers stick to available, land-based, OFSC prescribed trails whenever possible. OFSC clubs provide numerous trails that avoid water crossings altogether and also provide many bridges and culverts to pass over known water crossings safely.

THAW, RAIN

If you do make the personal choice to take the risk of travelling on ice by snowmobile, wait until a marked stake line is in place and cross only when you can follow it directly from shore to shore, without stopping on the ice.

This ice warning also applies during any prolonged period of thaw or rain, and late in the season after ice begins to deteriorate from milder temperatures. To avoid unnecessary risks, the

THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS

STAKE LINE

While ice crossing is never a sure thing, snowmobilers can also reduce their risk by: • checking ice thickness and quality before riding onto any frozen water; • understanding that ice conditions may vary from day to day, from hour to hour and from place to place; • never travelling on ice alone, at night or while impaired; • avoiding slushy ice, untracked ice, or ice near moving water or dock bubblers; • watching out for obstacles like rocks, stumps, docks, ice roads and fishing huts; • wearing a buoyant snowmobile suit and carrying ice picks.

cause of the freezing rain. The Packers were scheduled to host the Perth Blue Wings Dec. 27 and travel to Almonte for a Dec. 28 game (after early holiday press deadlines). The Packers, second in the Valley Division, will kick off 2014 by hosting Stittsville Royals

this Friday, Jan. 3 at 8 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. BACK-TO-BACK

Sports – The Arnprior Figure Skating Club’s new synchro team is hosting an e-waste collection fundraiser during the Arnprior Optimist Winter Carnival in mid-January. If Santa brought you new electronics for Christmas, the club wants your old items. If you have unwanted TVs, computers, printers and the like taking up valuable space in your home, the figure skaters can help. The club and Ontario Electronic Stewardship are hosting a public collection event to divert electronic waste from landfills. During the carnival, from Thursday, Jan. 16 to Saturday, Jan. 18, the public can drop off any old electronic waste such as MP3 players, cameras, telephones, TVs, VCR and DVD players and recorders and radios for recycling at the Nick Smith Centre parking lot. The drop-off times are Jan. 16 and 17 from 5 to 7 p.m. each day and Jan. 18 from 9 a.m. to noon. All proceeds will go to the figure skating club’s synchro team. To determine what’s recyclable, check out www.recycleyourelectronics.ca/. For more information, call Margaret at 613-622-0133.

Silver in curling Local athletes continued to excel in and out of the province. Curler Doug Johnston and his teammates came away with a silver medal from the 2013 Canadian senior curling championships in Summerside, PEI in March. Johnston, son of Don Johnston of Arnprior, grew up in town and started out curling in Arnprior. Now a resident of Vydon Acres, Johnston said the experience was great. “It was a lot of fun,” he said. “It’s a high level of competition and there’s a lot of camaraderie.

A Tribute to Groves Park Lodge One of the most difficult choices a family may have to make when a parent needs to leave his or her home is what to do. Fortunately, we found a gem for our mother, Lucie McGregor, in Grove Park Lodge Renfrew.

The Family of the late Lucie McGregor We would like to thank our family, friends and neighbours for the flowers, cards and expression of condolences on the passing of our remarkable mother, Lucie McGregor. A special thanks to: Dr. Langlois for her care and friendship for Lucie over the years. The exceptional staff at Grove Park Lodge Renfrew who made it her home. Don, Janet and Natasha of Goulet Funeral Home for their compassion and professionalism. The C.W.L of which Lucie was proud to be a member. Fr. Brennan and Fr. Holly. Her grandsons who were her pallbearers and to Tanya Lou whose tribute brought her to life.

Over the years the staff welcomed not only Lucie but us. They kept us informed at all times. There is respect and access for all religious beliefs. Whether one works in housekeeping, kitchen, floor or office it is one caring team. They take the time to know their residents – individual, personal gifts are chosen for special occasions. Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and St. Patrick’s Day are special for residents and family. For twelve years we have shared much laughter and tears with our second family, the staff of Grove Park Lodge. Thank you for making a home for Lucie and for us. CLR493090

Gone but Not Forgotten God saw that he was getting tired, A cure was not to be, So He put his arms around him, And whispered “Come with me” With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away, Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes “the best”. Gone yet not forgotten, Although we are apart Your spirit lives with us, Forever in our hearts.

Christmas tree was a treasured addition to the kitchen Lifestyle - It didn’t take Mother long, after moving to a drafty old log house in the backwoods of Renfrew Country, to figure out the parlour was no place for the Christmas tree. With no insulation, storm windows or heat, the room was closed off for the winter, and so the Christmas tree, after much moving of furniture, was crammed into a corner of the kitchen. Father didn’t care where it was, as long as it wasn’t put up until Christmas Eve, a German custom that was part of his heritage for three generations. Well, it didn’t take long for Mother to get rid of that idea too. The tree, about two weeks before Christmas, was hauled in from the bush, dragged behind the flat-bottom sleigh, and let stand in the summer kitchen until the clumps of snow could be taken off its wide-spread branches. And then, with much finagling, it was wired to the window frame on one side, and the downstairs bedroom door on the other. It sat in a wash tub of water, in the hope that the heat from the Findlay Oval wouldn’t entirely rob the tree of its needles. There was always a mystery to the tree decorations, which I could never figure out. Every year dozens of little tin holders with miniature candles in them were clamped all over the Christmas tree. But they were never lit. And I wondered why on earth we had candles on a tree if they couldn’t be glowing at night?

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK Well, Mother, with her dread of fire, was the reason. “The whole place would go up like a tinder box,” she’d say, if I even as much as suggested we could at least light a few of them. And I would wonder why we even bothered bringing them down from the hump-backed trunk upstairs! A flat box of tinsel was bought long before I was even born, and every year the long thin pieces were carefully hung on the branches of the tree, and the day the tree came down, every last piece of the tinsel was laid out carefully in the same box, and tucked away for another year. It was my sister Audrey’s job to make sure the tub of water under the tree was always full. That meant she had to haul it in from the pump outside, and, “while you’re at it,” Mother would say, “you might as well fill the reservoir too.” The few glass ball decorations Mother had brought from New York, coloured paper loops made by us children and only the prettiest of

Old Age, pension rates upped slightly News – Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) rates increased slightly effective Jan. 1. OAS benefits - which consist of the basic OAS pension, the Guaranteed In-

Christmas cards which had come through the mail were placed here and there on the wide sweeping branches. After the tree was up for the holidays, it changed the whole house. I loved the nights when we all sat around the table, and the coaloil lamp sent out dim beams of light and the tinsel, moving gently from the heat in the kitchen from the stove, made the tree magical. There were never any gifts under the tree until they mysteriously appeared on Christmas morning. But I would sit, with my elbows on the table, and just stare at the wonder of it all. And I would picture in my mind what of my list sent to the Ottawa Farm Journal would be left for me by Santa. Would he bring me the doll I had seen in the Five and Dime store window? And what about the real store-bought underwear I longed for? So many an evening before Christmas was spent just dreaming of that morning when I would waken and find that Santa hadn’t forgotten us in Northcote after all. And each day, the spruce tree got sparser and sparser. It didn’t matter how carefully my sister Audrey was about keeping the tub full of water, every night there seemed to be another dustpan full of needles to sweep up and dump into the Findlay Oval. And with each dustpan gathered up with the broom, Father could be heard muttering from his rocking chair by the oven door that had Mother listened to him, and waited until

Christmas Eve to put up the tree, it might look half “decent” by the time Christmas morning rolled around. Although I would have loved to have the tree stay up until the New Year rolled in, it rarely lasted until a day or so after Christmas. By then, you could see clear back to the wainscoting along the wall behind it, and we all knew, it wouldn’t be long with the heat of the stove, confined to the kitchen as it was, the Christmas tree would be as bare as a badger. And it would be unwired from its moorings, and dragged out of the kitchen, back through the summer kitchen, and tossed behind the house, a most pathetic sight if I ever saw one! The tub would be emptied, furniture rearranged, and the only remnants of that most wonderful time of the year, would be the needles that seemed to appear out of nowhere for weeks long after the Christmas season was over. Father knew better than to say, “I told you so.” If he did venture an opinion, Mother would remind him that his job was to look after the barns, hers was to look after the house! My sincere Christmas wishes go out to all our faithful readers. May each of you experience the true meaning of this wonderful time of year, and may you spend it with loved ones around you.

Ford Plots a Trend-Path Ahead and Demonstrates a Vehicle that Can Steer Its Own Path by Brian Turner

Ford recently released the results of their second annual consumer trend report looking forward to 2014 and beyond into factors that will influence customer behaviour in terms of what they want in their vehicles and how they want to buy and have them serviced. On the top of the reports list of global trends for 2014, is what Ford calls ‘Innovation’s Quiet Riot’ which explores whether people will continue trying to keep up with an always-on society and experience a fear of missing out, or begin to find joy in moments free of digital distraction. “There is no escaping the impact – both positive and negative – of the rapid pace of technology. What is more fascinating to watch in 2014 is how a culture of reflection is emerging,” said Sheryl Connelly, Ford global trend and futuring manager. “We are seeing a consumer culture that is increasingly mindful of the need to nurture society’s valuable and irreplaceable resources.” Ford’s 10 trends expected to influence consumers and brands in the coming year include: 1. Innovation’s Quiet Riot: Fast-paced and disruptive innovation is becoming increasingly institutionalized and ubiquitous – fundamentally changing the way consumers work, play and communicate 2. Old School: Consumers are romanticizing how things used to be, finding comfort and connection in products, brands and experiences

that evoke nostalgia 3. Meaningful vs. the Middle Man: Seeking more intimate connections with retailers and service providers, consumers are hunting for stories of identity and meaning in their products and services 4. Statusphere: Across the globe, consumers are broadening the ways they display their wealth – sometimes it screams, sometimes it whispers – upending traditional expressions of status and influence 5. Vying for Validation: In a world of hyper-self-expression, chronic public journaling and other forms of digital expression, consumers are creating a public self that may need validation even more than their authentic self 6. Fear of Missing Out/Joy of Missing out: A tug of war is emerging as the traditional FOMO is challenged by the JOMO. On one end, consumers are persevering to take advantage of everything at their disposal. On the other, they are mindful of the need to focus on, and enjoy, what matters most 7. Micro Moments: With so much information at our fingertips, downtime has given way to filling every moment with bite-sized chunks of information, education and entertainment – seemingly packing our lives with productivity 8. Myth of Multitasking: In an increasingly screen-saturated, multitasking modern world, more and more evidence is emerging to suggest that when we do everything at once, we sacrifice the quality – and often safety – of each thing we do

January 2, 2014 9. Female Frontier: Profiles of women have reached new prominence; demographic shifts are changing household dynamics and definitions. Together, women and men will redefine roles and responsibilities in 2014 10. Sustainability Blues: The world has been fixated on going green, and now the attention is shifting beyond recycling and eco-chic living to a growing concern for the power and preciousness of the planet’s water One of the trends in automotive technology that dominated 2013 was the concept of an autonomous vehicle which has been and continues to be tested in an increasing larger number of prototypes on public highways and roads around the globe. The most well known example of this is the Google self-driving car which has logged more miles than all of the competition combined. It was a natural step for Ford to move in this direction based on their success with their ‘active park-assist’ system which is available in several models to help drivers win the battle of parallel parking. They recently demonstrated an obstacle avoidance test car that can automatically steer and brake to avoid collisions with vehicles stopped or slowing in the same lane ahead. The system takes over if the driver fails to steer or brake following system warnings. The system was featured on the Ford Edge Concept that debuted recently at the Los Angeles Auto Show. “The obstacle avoidance research project is a prime example of technologies we are developing to benefit drivers whose Ford vehicles are equipped with the technology and others who share the road with them,” said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford research and innovation. “We are optimistic that through our research and findings, we will be able to reduce these types of rear-end collisions.”

The staff and management of the Benson Group, including their automotive specialist teams at over 100 locations in Ontario and Quebec wish to extend their warmest season’s greetings to all their customers for a very Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year.

the fuel tank near full will reduce the likelihood of gasoline or diesel condensation problems and will add extra weight for improved traction and handling. Please remember posted speed limits are for optimal road and weather conditions only and extra time should be factored in to any winter trek.

With this time of increased travel, busy highways, and less than ideal weather and road conditions, the Benson team wants to remind everyone to plan ahead for trips no matter what the distance. Take extra time to clear all vehicle windows, exterior lights and surfaces of snow and ice. Make sure your auto has plenty of washer uid, winter tires, and an emergency roadside kit. Pack cargo, luggage, and gifts with care, because, in the event of a collision, anything loose in the passenger compartment can become a fast-moving projectile which can cause injury. Keeping

The Benson automotive stores will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day to allow their staff to enjoy the holiday time with family and loved ones. Your automotive needs are always on the top of the Benson Group’s list and their outlets’ experts will make sure that you have the right part at the right time for the best price available. Roadside emergency kits are available in a variety of types for both commercial and personal use. Please drive safely and give your family the best gift of all; you safe at home to share these special times.
