Waiting game Mayors still undecided whether they’ll run again John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

News – The mayors of Arnprior and McNabBraeside have yet to decide whether they are running again, but they won’t make electors wait to the last minute to find out. Arnprior mayor David Reid said he intends to announce his decision in March on whether he will seek a second four-year term in the Oct. 27 municipal election. McNab-Braeside mayor Mary Campbell said she is still mulling over her options, but is expecting to make a formal announcement by the end of January. Nominations opened Jan. 2 for local council and school board elections. There had been no candidate filings in Arnprior and McNab-Braeside as of Tuesday morning. See MUNICIPAL, Page 3

New doctor recruitment strategy tried Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – Arnprior’s physician recruitment team is starting off 2014 on a high note – welcoming new doctor Dr. Mohammad Nejad. In addition, the team has prepared a budget and strategy for the next year and is looking to help connect remaining residents who are waiting for a physician. The team has made its presentation to Arnprior council and was scheduled to appeal to McNab-

Braeside council Tuesday (after press deadline), to ensure that physician recruitment remains front and centre as the municipalities prepare their budgets. Arnprior and McNab-Braeside councils have paid relatively little for doctor recruitment compared to Renfrew and its neighbours who have been contributing at least $25,000 each in the past few years. And that figure is growing, although it has translated into the attraction of seven new much needed doctors for the Renfrew area.

News – Mother Nature must have a soft spot for a certain business group in town, because Monday’s freezing rain may well have saved the dissolution of Arnprior’s downtown business improvement area (BIA). Weeks ago town council approved a Jan. 6 meeting at the library to determine the organization’s future.

Dale Gillan: A legacy of integrity, community service Editor’s note: Because of our early deadlines over New Year’s the following comments by McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell on the death of former township councillor and deputy mayor Dale Gillan were received too late to be included in the story in the Jan. 2 Chronicle-Guide. Dale Gillan will always be remembered throughout McNab-Braeside as an honour-

able man, a gentleman who was unstinting in his service to his community. While serving as deputy mayor for McNab-Braeside, Dale was frequently seen with a chainsaw or shovel in hand, quietly filling some need without any fuss or recognition. A practical person in his problemsolving abilities, Dale has always been able to focus on low-cost, effective solutions.

Town staves off demise of downtown BIA Continued from front

NEW YORK 2014 Booking Now! DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

About 25 BIA members await a decision Monday morning on whether to keep the organization going. Officials were hoping for a turnout of about 50. this coming Monday’s meeting to reduce the mandatory turnout from 50 to 30, and hold another morning meeting for a vote in the near future. The about 150-member group has been plagued by indifference of late, and vocal detractors in the past. Not enough members showed up to pass its latest budget, which is why no tax levy was created. Past budgets have been set at about $35,000. The Arnprior BIA has a sizable sum of money in reserves. But the volunteer hours required, the transiency of tenants and the mandatory fees have turned off some members. Reid is a strong proponent of the BIA. He delivered notices to half the downtown businesses last week, encouraging them to

attend the meeting. The town’s marketing and economic development officer Lindsay Wilson delivered notices to the other half. With no BIA in place, invaluable contributions to a couple of upcoming projects will be missed, says Reid. One: As the town continues to pull together a “community improvement plan,� grants and tax incentives will be made available for storefront improvements, if the provincial government sees proof that businesses are taking part. Two: The “really ambitious� streetscape project will suffer if the BIA isn’t there to get involved, Reid said. The town will likely budget $250,000 for engineer drawings alone to this

two-year process. Considering a mere $65,000 represents a tax increase of 1 per cent, the streetscape and landscape design plan project is a significant undertaking. Then there’s the idea businesses have more clout when banding together, speaking with one voice and pooling resources. There is some truth to the notion that smaller, independent businesses benefit slightly more from being in a BIA than others do. The large financial institutions and others pay more (fees are based on square footage). Reid warned that if the BIA disbands it won’t easily be put back together again. “Once it’s gone, it’s gone. The process to put it in place is very rigorous.�

BIAs are a way for businesses to pool funds for mutually advantageous things such as promotions and outdoor potted plants and other beautification measures. The organization also helps maintains consistency throughout a given area. Most neighbouring towns have BIAs, some more active and successful than others. To ensure the survival of Arnprior’s BIA, council decreed that at least 50 commercial property owners and tenants – many of whom live outside town limits - had to show up and vote in favour. That’s still less than half of the well over 100 that are included in the area that makes up Arnprior’s downtown. Only about 23 representatives braved the treacherous road conditions to attend the 7:30 a.m. session that would have determined whether or not to elect (or select) a new BIA executive. But the combination of adverse weather and a “very encouraging� number of attendees convinced Mayor David Reid to postpone the vote. “We don’t have 50 members present, but we needed to have a really good showing,� Reid said. “I think this is very encouraging. An effective BIA is an important component to have in a town.� He said he will ask council at

Municipal nominations open, filing period runs until Sept. 12 Continued from front

Reid, who was elected mayor in his first try in 2010, said he had some family issues to consider before he makes a decision on whether to run again. Campbell, who has won two straight mayoralty elections in the township, said she would “probably� run again, but wanted to

get some other priorities, particularly regarding the controversial recreation issue, dealt with this month before seriously turning her mind to election matters. Prospective candidates for the seven seats on Arnprior council, five on McNab-Braeside’s and school trustee positions on the public and Catholic

school boards have until Sept. 12 to file nomination papers. The fee to file a nomination is $200 for head of council and $100 for all

other offices. Arnprior is providing election information on the town’s website and McNabBraeside is expected to follow suit shortly.

Doctor shortages are a reality for communities across the province. Dr. Nejad’s decided to come to Arnprior came after a locum residency, the first time the committee has completed that process. The pilot project was a valuable learning experience with a very positive outcome, say officials. “Dr. Nejad has accepted our letter of offer to join the Arnprior and District Family Health organization. Dr. Nejad currently resides in Goose Bay, Labrador and will be relocating to the area to practice family medicine in Arnprior,” said physician recruitment co-ordinator Lindsay Ziebarth. “The locum physician experience was quite positive.” Ziebarth went on to thank all those involved in the process, including patients, physicians, staff and board members of the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital and the Arnprior and District Family Health Team, the Town of Arnprior, the Township of McNab-Braeside, Arnprior Regional Health, Charlotte Leitch of Century 21 Explorer Reality, and Jim Mulvilhill.

Meanwhile, personal support workers employed by the Red Cross Care home care service are back on the job waiting the results of an arbitration hearing last Friday. The members of the SEIU Healthcare union and the Canadian Red Cross agreed to the arbitration to end strike action that began Dec. 11 in several parts of the province, including the Upper Ottawa Valley. That decision put workers back on the job after being on the picket line for about two weeks. They are asking for better wages and mileage rates. An arbitration decision is expected within the next two weeks.

News - Home support workers and nurses employed by ParaMed Health Care in Renfrew County could go out on strike later this month. The workers are frustrated about the lack of progress in negotiations to get improved wages and benefits. They have been without a new contract for more than a year. The about 150 employees, members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU), will hold strike votes on Tuesday, Jan. 14. Contract talks broke down on the eve of the Christmas-New Year holiday break. “We need a strong strike mandate because we were going nowhere at the table,” explained Audrey Waito-Prince, chair of the bargaining team and president of OPSEU, Local 492. The unit represents registered nurses, registered practical nurses, home and personal support workers, and administrative staff. “We have hit a brick wall with the employer over wages and benefits,” said Waito-Prince. Other issues in dispute include mileage and job security. The two sides met twice with a conciliator

LOCUM PROCESS

Dr. Nejad travelled from Goose Bay to complete a full three-week locum residency at the Arnprior hospital in early December. His wife Soraya and nine-year-old daughter Jasmine were here for part of the time.

“As part of the physician recruitment program, we do offer and encourage physicians to come for a locum,” said Ziebarth. The experience allows not only the physician to see what it’s like working in a community, but helps the family to learn about life in the area. Having the family health team in place as Arnprior does is a boon for the community, as well, with the majority of physicians, in particular recent graduates, looking for that type of environment in which to practice. And while the team has been quietly working away for the past while, the work is ramping up. “It’s the first time in a couple of years that we have had such hope for recruitment of physicans,” said family health team executive director Maureen Sullivan-Bentz. She joined Ziebarth in crediting all involved in the recent locum residency and physician recruitment efforts. Residents without a family physician are urged to register with Health Care. Registration can be done over the phone (1-800-445-1822) or online at health.gov.on.ca/en/ms/healthcareconnect/public/). There are already about 1,400 patients on the physician wait list and a smaller number who are actually registered with Health Care Connect. Getting all those who don’t have a doctor registered will help officials get a clearer picture of the local situation. It will further assist us in our recruitment efforts,” said Sullivan-Bentz.

News – One of Canada’s largest energy companies has acquired a newly-built Ontario solar power farm in the Pakenham area. TransCanada Corporation, which is buying nine solar facilities in Ontario from Canadian Solar Solutions Inc., announced Jan. 2 that the project known as Mississippi Mills is its latest addition. The acquisition of the 10-megawatt facility is for a reported $61 million. Calgary-based TransCanada is already well known locally for its pipeline projects, including the Keystone project and EnergyEast, which includes the proposed converting of one of two gas pipelines down the Ottawa Valley to transport oil from the Prairies to ports in the East. While the company is best known for its oil and natural gas projects, it is taking advantage of provincial government incentives to invest in power generation from renewable sources, including solar, wind and nuclear generation. The Pakenham solar farm deal follows the previously announced purchase of Brockville 1, Brockville 2 and Burritts Rapids solar facilities. Canadian Solar had a deal to build the nine solar farms with a combined capacity of 86 megawatts for TransCanada for about $500 million. All nine projects have 20-year power agreements with the Ontario Power Authority, sell electricity at the premium rate of $443 a megawatt hour. Four of the projects are already providing power to the grid and TransCanada anticipates the remaining five will come into service by the end of 2014. “We are pleased to have acquired an additional solar facility in Ontario as part of our growing energy portfolio, one-third of which are facilities that produce electricity from emis-

Sports – A well-respected Arnprior referee who died unexpectedly early last year was honoured at the start of a Junior B Packers game Dec. 27. John Edward ‘Jake’ Rouleau was praised for his dedication to Arnprior Minor Hockey and his community in general. Rouleau, who refereed games in Arnprior for 28 years, died Feb. 26 at the age of 62 after a sudden illness. A large number of friends and family members took in the pre-game ceremony. The large holiday crowd on hand for the game with the Perth Blue Wings cheered enthusiastically when Rouleau’s many contributions were listed. Rouleau’s widow, Judith, accompanied on the ice by Gregory and Russell, two of their four sons, dropped the ceremonial first puck to start the game. Speaking on behalf of the Arnprior Packers Junior B hockey club, the Bantam Packers and the Arnprior Minor Hockey Association, Bantam coach Pat Ryan announced that a ‘Rouleau’ jersey will hang in the Nick Smith Centre “in memory of Jake, a longtime supporter, friend, mentor of all the kids and parents of minor hockey.” Junior B Packers director of hockey operations Sean Marcellus announced that the Packers and the minor hockey association

Bantam Packers manager Dan Cross presented flowers to Judith Rouleau and Jake’s mother, Anita Rouleau, who was also in attendance.

Judith said that her husband would have been touched by the tribute. “He loved hockey … he loved Arnprior,” she said. “He was here (at the rink) all the time,” added his mother. “He was really dedicated to the game.” See ROULEAU, Page 7

Rouleau honoured Continued from Page 6

In his speech, Ryan told the crowd at the game that “Jake was a well-known face at the rink. Whether supporting his own sons in local hockey or standing at the glass enjoying whatever game he could catch, Jake was never more at home than when he was on the ice. “As passionate about reffing hockey as he was about playing, he was a mentor to many young refs in the community,” he said. “His unique blend of humour, limitless energy, and down-to-earth charm left a lasting impression on those who crossed his path. An avid Montreal fan, Jake’s love for all things hockey can be felt every time a puck drops.” Rouleau was best known for his refereeing of minor hockey, but also officiated at men’s and old-timers games. It was noted that only a week or two before his death he had refereed a spirited plus-40s game in Arnprior. The family was also well-known in local fastball circles and Jake umpired games after his playing career ended. A tribute on the local fastball website called him a “good lad” who will be missed. Also in attendance for the Dec. 27 ceremony honouring Rouleau were his son Scott (his other son Brandon is out of the country) and several of his brothers, including Paul, Chris, Jeff, Stephen, Tim and Peter. Rouleau would likely have enjoyed the game as the Packers pulled out a 4-3 shootout victory over Perth in the action-packed game. Locally-raised player Patrick McGrath scored the only goal of the shootout to give the Packers the win. Arnprior goalie Eric Miksik stopped 48 of 51 shots that came his way in the game and all three Perth shootout attempts. The ceremony had originally been scheduled for the Dec. 20 Packers game, but that contest was cancelled after a problem at the Nick Smith Centre.

EDITORIAL

Not time for BIA to fall silent The Arnprior downtown BIA dodged a bullet Monday. But if more people don’t get involved, it can’t avoid the inevitable forever. Although it may seem like a forlorn hope now, eventually this crazy weather will improve enough to be able to hold a meeting to determine the BIA’s fate. And unless the organization’s members shape up, it will certainly go out of business. That would be a shame. Especially now. The downtown is going through some tough times, but there are signs better days are coming. Town council, with its new emphasis on economic development, has shown it is committed to downtown revitalization and is actively trying to keep the BIA alive. It can’t be said town hall is ignoring the downtown. Community improvement and streetscape plans, a town square, ideas to use the railway corridor, and efforts to tie in the downtown to the town’s scenic waterfront-park areas are all in the works. The town is banking on the BIA as being an important partner and ally in those initiatives.

An active BIA will make it easier for the town to attract grants and support from the senior levels of government for the proposed improvements. The downtown, with its heritage designation and proximity to where the rivers meet, could be turned into a much more charming destination for visitors and shoppers with a little vision and work. The arrival of Highway 417’s four lanes have sparked a building boom in town, providing scores of potential new customers and clients for downtown businesses and services. Having an active BIA could play a major role in ensuring that potential becomes a reality. While the town is playing a leading role in trying to ensure the BIA continues, the key component must be the business people themselves. They must be the ones to see the potential. Congratulations to the 25 who showed up Monday in support of the BIA continuing. But if more downtown folks don’t attend the next meeting, then let the effort die and bring in the box stores at the edge of town. If those downtown don’t care, why should the rest of the community?

LETTER

Town of Arnprior needs more councillors with vision To the Editor: Re: Outsider fees make Arnprior unwelcoming (letter, ChronicleGuide, Jan. 2). It appears that the feeder headline rings true once again... The other day I was asked by a contemporary why I hadn’t lately written a letter to the newspaper? My response was that I didn’t think I had much to say that I didn’t say previously, and that was the reason! That was until today. I read Mr. Paul Miller’s letter and that got my attention. It ought to get the attention of town council, but I doubt it. Why? This council, like previous ones ‘Talk the talk, but they don’t walk the talk.� As seers they flunk ‘big time.’ The user fees of our resources presently at issue are simply unfair to our neighbours and the policy deters the very business we should be promoting.

Again, we are chasing folks away and are sending the wrong message that Arnprior is ‘open for business.� It sure as ‘heck isn’t’. Mr. Doug Smith ran for mayor and was up against a formidable opponent, who I believe is honourable and has done a good job. But he is an individual with one vote against a bunch of people who can’t see beyond their ‘small town’ view of how a town should be run. Smith is a seer with ideas that have more merit than what we presently see. He can make a difference if given the chance, therefore, I urge him to run for council rather than the mayor’s job. He won’t win that. I have also been petitioned to run for council. No way! While I am a class A personality, I don’t want another heart attack! I leave that ‘death wish’ to the Millers, the Smiths and others, but I don’t wish it on them.

In 2014 I am afraid that we will see more of the same, i.e. lousy leadership, questionable staff recommendations and management, etc. Just consider that the town wants to double fees for new house construction. That money goes for sidewalks, street signs, etc. If one wants to see just how shoddy that policy can be, visit the intersection of Moe Robillard and Edward Vince Edwards Court. Look at the street sign. It is awry. People are confused re the lack of direction and it is simply unsightly. What has the town public works people done about it? Nothing! Once more, I rest my case. In spite of it all, I love this community regardless of its warts.

CETA will not increase drug costs To the Editor: RE: Drug costs likely to skyrocket under CETA, Arnprior ChronicleGuide Dec. 26. Drug prices will not increase due to the Canada-EU free trade agreement (CETA). Patent Term Restoration will not have an impact for eight to 10 years and will apply only to new medicines, products that don’t yet exist. Unfounded speculations such as the recent examination by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives make for great media headlines but add little value to a meaningful policy discussion about a sustainable healthcare system – one that relies upon R&D investment and the benefits of innovation. One of the advantages that the Canada-EU free trade agreement (CETA) offers Canada is a more

level playing field to attract life science investments – investments that fund more than 3,000 clinical trials underway across Canada today, investment that support high-paying jobs in hospitals and universities, and investments that lead to new treatments that deliver better health outcomes to millions of Canadians. Intellectual property protection does not drive drug costs, but history has proven that it does help drive investment. Canadians want better access to innovative medicines because they deliver value that we all benefit from. CETA is an important step toward this future, and to building a stronger, more competitive Canada. Russell Williams, president Canada’s Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies (Rx&D)

Arnprior archivist was a wonderful help To the Editor: I am writing to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for the excellent help I recently received from the Arnprior-McNab-Braeside archivist Laurie Dougherty. I am researching the geneology of my family who were Palatine German. They emigrated from County Kerry Ireland in the mid 1800s, settling in the Ottawa Valley at Snake River, Ontario. I had some old documents relating to transfer of land and a will over 100 years old, which I wanted preserved and made accessible for future generations of our family. Laurie encapsulated the most fragile of these, researched the land transfers, and retrieved and shared old township maps relevant to my family’s settlement in the area. Thank you, Laurie. We are indeed fortunate to have a competent and experienced archivist in Arnprior. The preservation of our past is very important to the history of Ontario and Canada. Mrs. Shirley Morris Arnprior

Share-A-Gift appreciates support To the Editor: On behalf of Arnprior Share-A-Gift, we would like to thank everyone who has assisted us with the program this year in order to provide children in our community with new clothing, toys, and some additional smaller gifts. The Arnprior Christmas Share-A-Gift Program works with Ontario Works, the Food Bank, churches and schools to

identify children in need. Every year the program helps more and more children in our local area. This year the program provided packages to over 200 children in the local area. The purpose of the program is to help ease the financial pressure that many families experience during the Christmas season. Although we have both as-

sisted for a number of years in the Share-A-Gift program, establishing new relationships generally takes time. We were really appreciative of the individuals, companies, schools and organizations that reached out to us to see what they could do. Thank you!

Adult Bald Eagles are very unmistakeable birds MICHAEL RUNTZ

Bald Eagles being seen through our area

Young Bald Eagles are mostly brown and are often confused with Golden Eagles.

Lifestyle - Few birds are as impressive as a Bald Eagle. Majestic, regal, mighty – descriptive words seldom stray from that theme. And this is for good reason. Standing three feet tall and owning a wingspan of seven or more feet, Bald Eagles are giant birds. The pure white head and tail of an adult eagle contrasts strikingly with the blackish brown feathers that adorn the rest of its plumage. The massive yellow, meathook-tipped bill and large, penetrating yellow eyes give these birds a fiercely proud look. When I was young, Bald Eagles were extremely rare in our area. Like Peregrine Falcons and Ospreys, they were severely affected by DDT, the pesticide of choice in the 1940s and ‘50s. DDT caused eggshells to thin, resulting in very few eaglets being hatched. Additionally, eagles were legally shot and poisoned because birds of prey were erroneously believed to be bad for wild-

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way life and even livestock. In Alaska bounties were offered, and between 1917 and 1952 an astounding 128,000 Bald Eagles were killed for profit. Bald Eagles became so rare that in 1978 they were placed on the U.S. Endangered Species list. Ontario followed suit in 1980. After legislated protection and the banning of DDT, eagle numbers began to gradually rise. Over the past 15 years these majestic birds have become relatively common all through their former range, and now nest in numerous locations along the Ottawa

and Madawaska rivers and on larger lakes including White Lake. While adult Bald Eagles are unmistakable, young birds are often mistaken as Golden Eagles. It takes five years to attain the diagnostic plumage, and for the first three years Bald Eagles are largely brown. Second-year birds often have white bellies while third-year eagles have white faces. In summer Bald Eagles eat a lot of fish, some of which they steal from Ospreys. While in winter fish remains on their diet wherever open water persists (such as below power dams on the Madawaska and Ottawa rivers), many eagles scavenge dead large animals. Wolves and coyotes provide many eagles with essential winter sustenance, which is one more reason for offering these important Carnivores protection. Some eagles scavenge alongside Common Ravens and American Crow at garbage dumps.

Five Bald Eagles were tallied on the recent Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count while 15 were counted a year ago. Fewer were seen possibly because considerably less open water was available this year; however, recently readers have reported a number of eagles. At Galetta Judy Budau watched three Bald Eagles – two adults and one immature – eat a duck on the ice. Other people reported Bald Eagles flying over Dunrobin, Arnprior and White Lake. Our neighbours to the south wisely chose the Bald Eagle as their national symbol. But it might come as some surprise that not all Americans were in favour of this choice; Benjamin Franklin argued unsuccessfully that the Wild Turkey be chosen. Just think – if old Ben had been successful in his efforts, the American national symbol would be a bird that is truly bald! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

COMMUNITY

Little Town of Arnprior shows big heart with food bank support Community – The generosity show by Arnprior, “the little town with the big heart,” allowed the Arnprior and District Food Bank to assist 230 families this Christmas, reports president Kathy Tonkin. She explained that the donations were received not only in the form of basic food items, but also hams, turkeys and confections of the season, “all kindly provided by the generous citizens of our community.” Thousands of food items were donated by the public in the drop-off boxes located all around the town and scores of food drives were co-ordinated by local organizations, businesses and private citizens. “In a world fraught with atrocities, war and hunger, we should take pause to give thanks for the compassion and kindness that is evident in our modest little town,” said Tonkin. On behalf of the food bank, she extended “heartfelt thanks to the big-hearted people in Arnprior for their gifts of love and hope.”

News – The cold weather doesn’t appear to have deterred people from engaging in fraud or domestic violence. OPP report responding to 13 domestic disputes in the Arnprior-Renfrew area last week. In one of those cases, a woman was charged with two counts of break-and-enter and one count of resisting arrest. In another, a man was charged with assault and domestic mischief. In a third case, a man was charged with assault, uttering a threat and domestic mischief. A man was also charged with possession of marijuana as a result of one of the calls. Meanwhile, OPP Constable Sylvie Caouette

is investigating after a complainant reported a man defrauded him/her of more than $2,600. A fraudulent or stolen cheque was produced and the complainant agreed to assist the suspect in cashing the cheque. The victim cashed the cheque and forwarded the funds to the suspect. The bank later confirmed the cheque was not valid, report police. There is a suspect in the case and the investigation is continuing. It was one of 178 calls for service responded to by officers from the Renfrew and Arnprior OPP offices last week. Two people, a 24-yearold Arnprior man and a 52-year-old Deep River woman, were charged with public intoxication.

The OPP provides the following tips to protect yourself from ransomware: • never click on a pop-up that claims your computer has a virus; R0022452727

News – The OPP Anti-Rackets Branch is warning computer users of a variation on so-called ‘ransomware’ that is hitting close to home. Ransomware is a fraudulent threat to online security has been around since 2006 but only surfaced in Canada in late 2011. This malware is first installed by visiting malicious websites set up by criminals, warns the OPP in a news release. The ransomware produces what has been called a ‘Police Trojan’ or ‘scareware’, because a notice pops up that appears to come from a law enforcement agency. Two recent complaints indicate the well-known OPP shoulder flash – the logo seen on the uniforms of provincial police officers – is on the pop-up to amplify the perceived threat and “come between unaware people and their money,” cautions the OPP. The message is a false accusation of accessing child pornography or other file-sharing websites and subsequently tells the consumer that a fee needs to be paid via money transfer or credit card to unlock the computer. When the victim submits their payment details, the criminals then steal and use personal information, fuelling further criminal activities. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) received 2,828 reports last year from Canadian consumers who reported receiving the ransomware pop-up message. Of those, 129 victims were identified as having lost more than $15,800 – roughly $122.50 per victim. In some instances, complainants indicated children were using popular social media sites when the ransomware message appeared, while others saw the pop-up threat while viewing free TV online. This infection is easily distributed tens of thousands of times and relies on the fact that even if only two per cent fall victim to the scam, it is still a very good rate of return, explains the OPP. It’s believed more than 97 per cent of victims are reluctant to report the crime. The signs that you may have encountered ransomware are: • a pop-up message or banner with a ransom request;

Police nab fewer impaired drivers over holiday period News - An early thank you to Ontario drivers seems to have paid off for the Ontario Provincial Police as they report significantly fewer impaired driving charges and licence suspensions totals for their 2013 Festive R.I.D.E. (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign. The blitz ran from Nov. 23 to Jan. 2 and during that time the OPP laid 578 impaired driving charges and issued 481 warn range suspensions throughout the province. In comparison, during last year’s campaign, the OPP laid 693 impaired driving charges and issued 625 suspensions. While the OPP is pleased to see the num-

bers significantly lower in both categories, this year’s charges still serve as a reminder that a small number of impaired drivers threatened the lives of other road users over the holidays. The OPP would like to see all Ontario drivers make driving sober a New Year’s resolution for 2014. The OPP again thank Ontarians who helped carry out a successful campaign by not drinking and driving, not letting family and friends drive while impaired by drugs or alcohol, and for calling 9-1-1 to report suspected impaired drivers.

Olympian trains hard to reach podium, help poor get education Sports – Ottawa Valley Olympic cross-country skier Perianne Jones is used to training and competing in frigid, snowy weather and the 22nd Olympic Winter Games in Sochi will be no different. While skiing in her second Olympics, the pride of Almonte will also have many fans in tropical Nicaragua. That’s because the petite powerhouse is competing in Sochi not only for a spot on the podium but also to help some of the world’s poorest children get an education. She’s hoping people on ski hills across Canada will help her on that mission. Jones will wear the SchoolBOX insignia on her Olympic jersey and soon after the Sochi Games she and some of her Canadian teammates, technicians and supporters will travel to southwest Nicaragua with the international charity to help build a school in an impoverished community. More than half the children in Nicaragua do not finish primary school. “I learned about SchoolBOX because I went to high

school with the executive director, Sarah Kerr, but I became passionate about it when I saw how much it does to improve the lives of children in Central America and their communities,” Jones said. “By providing basic school supplies – pencils and notebooks - and a place for some of the world’s poorest children to go to school, we can help them break the cycle of devastating poverty. “It’s almost heartbreaking that so little can change so much for these kids.” Jones has become a committed advocate for SchoolBOX, creating the campaign called ‘Ski 4 SchoolBOX’. She has challenged crosscountry ski clubs across Canada to get involved and ‘Make Education Possible’ in places where it has not been. The top three fundraising clubs will each receive an autographed World Cup race bib from Jones. Some suggested fundraising activities include: • host a Ski 4 SchoolBOX Olympic fundraiser

party to watch and cheer on Jones as she competes in Sochi; • holds 20-km fun Ski 4 SchoolBOX events; • host an information night/motivational presentation on SchoolBOX and receive a

personal video message from Jones: • optional donation when skiers register for the season or collect donations in a tin in the clubhouse; • Equator Coffee Roasters from Almonte can provide coffee/hot chocolate to raise

funds for Ski 4 SchoolBOX; • fundraise to send local skiers to Nicaragua with Jones in April - contact volunteer@schoolbox.ca. Full details can be found at www.schoolbox.ca/ski.

Another up and down weekend for the Packers Sports – The Arnprior Packers started last weekend off on the right track with a 3-2 victory over Stittsville Friday at the Nick Smith Centre, before falling 5-3 to Gatineau Sunday afternoon on the road. It was the second straight weekend in which the Packers gained a split. On Dec. 27, they edged the Perth Blue Wings 4-3 in a shootout on Jake Rouleau night. The next night, they lost 3-1 in Almonte. SECOND PLACE

The Packers currently sit 15-122-0 on the season, placing them in second place in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Valley Division, four points back of first-place Renfrew and five points ahead of third-place Almonte. PACKERS 3 ROYALS 2

Friday night saw the Packers welcome the Stittsville Royals to town in a game which goaltender Erik Miksik stole the show, leading the Packers to a 3-2 victory. After a scoreless first period that saw Miksik stop all 16 shots he faced, the Packers headed into the second frame looking to give their goalie some support. It would come half-way through the period when Packers captain John McLean scored his 12th of the season to put Arnprior up 1-0.\ The play went back-and-forth before Jake Gaudet scored his first as a Packer since coming over in a recent trade from Ottawa West. Then, with just 50 seconds left in the period, the Packers struck again as Ty Fleming put Arnprior up 3-0 with his sixth of the season.

Miksik turned aside all 13 Stittsville shots in the period. Stittsville broke the shutout bid in the third period, as they found the net twice within the first nine minutes, but Miksik and the Arnprior defense stood tall and shut the door on way to victory. The line of John McLean, Damian Armstrong, and Jake Gaudet finished with six points and Miksik made 43 saves in the win. PACKERS 3 MUSTANGS 5

The bus trips to Buckingham are never easy and Sunday afternoon would be an experience for the young Packers. The game went back-and-forth from start to finish, as no team led by more than a goal until the nineminute mark of the third. The Packers ultimately fell 5-3 to the older Gatineau club but showed plenty of character and competitiveness all game long. The Packers received goals from James Prebble, Jake Gaudet and Damian Armstrong, but the Gatineau power play was relentless as the Mustangs scored four times with the man-advantage. Erik Miksik made 25 saves in the Arnprior net but had little to no chance on the power-play markers.

Valley Pride wins bronze in Kanata Sports – The Valley Pride basketball team kept the best until last when they played in the Chris Paulin tournament in Kanata Dec 6-7. The local team made up from girls from Arnprior and Renfrew managed to claw their way into the bronze medal game after having to go through a three-way tiebreaker for second place. In the bronze game, the Pride played the Corwall Lions for the third time in two weeks. In league play the Pride blew a 12point lead and lost by one point in Cornwall. In round-robin play Saturday at the Kanata tournament, the local girls scratched out a four-point win. On Sunday the team led by one point at the half but fell behind by 11 to start the final quarter. With 1:37 left on the clock, the Pride

fought back to take the lead and hung on to win the bronze medal by a single point. The path to the medal game was also exciting as the Pride lost to Nepean by one point in overtime. The Pride had to play the host Kanata immediately after the overtime game and lost by double figures. In the last game of the round-robin, the Pride eked out a one-point victory against the Ottawa Shooting Stars to advance to the medal round. Congratulations to Hannah Scott and Olivia Mclntyre who won MVP awards for their stellar play during the tournament. The Valley Pride members are made up of six returnees Sage Melville, Logan Kenny, Courtney Roach, Hannah Scott,

Andrea Martin and Paula Meek. The rookies are Dakota Hanson, Olivia Mclntyre, Cassie King, Gwen Flegal and Melissa Thompson. Coaches Quathamer, Eades and Holmes contribute the success to the balance and depth of talent on the team. All members contributed significantly on the way to the bronze medal.

Ethan Hanson (5) of the Arnprior Avalanche is denied by the Ottawa Giants during Arnprior atom house league hockey tournament play Saturday. Goalie Damian Graham was the Giants’ MVP for the game, but his stellar play couldn’t prevent a 3-1 Avalanche win. The Avalanche won their second game 3-0 over Carleton Place, with the help of two Hanson goals, but a 3-1 loss to Pierrefonds cost them a berth in the semi-finals.

Right, Arnprior Snipers player Ted Smith leaves behind fallen defenders Nicholas Levesque and Liam Brannen, right, of the Pembroke Lumberjacks. He didn’t score on this breakaway, but he scored the Snipers’ third goal in an entertaining 4-3 victory. Matt Klein provided the winning goal. The Snipers lost their other two games, 5-2 to Carleton Place and 7-1 to the OsgoodeRideau Senators.

Organizers ‘optimistic’ carnival will be a success Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Events – The 2014 Arnprior Optimist Winter Carnival is just around the corner and organizers invite area residents to beat the winter blahs at a variety of activities for all ages. “It certainly is ramping up to be a good one,” said Optimist Club member Chris Toner. Most events are free with a carnival button, available at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior.

First up is the opportunity to cuddle up and keep warm at the O’Brien Theatre at 10 a.m. this Saturday, Jan. 11 for a showing of Free Birds. The following week the carnival really gets going with the elementary school skating relay at the Nick Smith Centre at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16. Also Thursday are air bounce activities in the community hall from 6-9 p.m. and a free public skate from 8-9 p.m.

“The kids’ events, of course, are always fun,” said Toner. The fun continues Friday with a snow sculpture contest at local schools, free public swimming from 7-9 p.m. and a family tobogganing party at Havey’s Hill on James Street from 7-9 p.m. Last year was the first time the toboggan party was planned for the time, but conditions led to it being cancelled. Organizers are hopeful this outdoor celebration of winter event will come off without a hitch this year. “We’ll have hot chocolate and will have the hill lit up,” said Toner. The road (Havey Street) below the hill will be closed off with safety in mind. Music and a bonfire will be part of the fun. The Jack Smith Memorial Hockey Tournament begins Friday at 6 p.m. and runs through Saturday. A pub night featuring the band Sterling wraps up the day from 5:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

SATURDAY

Start off carnival Saturday right on Jan. 18 with the shanty breakfast, complete with clowns, from 7-11 a.m. Junkyard Symphony takes to the stage at 10:30 a.m. with a Little Ray’s Reptiles show following at 11:30 a.m. “The shanty breakfast is always a big draw,” said Toner. There’s also free public swimming from 1-3 p.m. Local fiddle favourite Kyle Felhaver will entertain Saturday afternoon. The carnival caps off with a wine-tasting event at 7 p.m. Saturday. “It’s an event that really fits on Saturday night,” said Toner. “It’s getting bigger every year.” Sweet and Sassy is providing the food for FILE PHOTO this year’s event, a new partnership carnival orMr. and Mrs. Wine Tasting (Clint Pettigrew and Dawn MacAdam) at the 2013 Arnprior Op- ganizers are pleased to have made. timist Club wine tasting event. This year’s wine tasting on the carnival’s Saturday night at “We’re excited to have them helping us out,” the Nick Smith Centre is shaping up to be another great success, say organizers. said Toner.

Cate Gallagher of White Lake heads down the steep toboggan hill near the Nick Smith Centre Saturday. Everyone is invited back to the hill on the evening of Friday, Jan. 17 to take part in the Arnprior Optimists Winter Carnival family toboggan party. Winter carnival wine-tasting tickets are now available for purchase. Cost is $30 per ticket or $250 for a table of eight. VIP tables are entered into a separate door prize draw. Tickets are available at Mulvihill Insurance. In conjunction with the carnival, the Arnprior Figure Skating Club and the Ontario Electronic Stewardship will host an e-waste dropoff in the Nick Smith Centre parking lot 5-7 p.m. Thursday and Friday and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. The new logo on this year’s carnival button comes courtesy of John XXIII student Abby Patrois, who will be honoured with a plaque during the event.

Embrace winter by building a backyard rink Lifestyle - For those with snow piled all around, winter can be a time to stay in the house and wait for spring, but it doesn’t have to be. Why not use all the snow to have fun and one of the best ways to do that is to build yourself a skating rink. It can be in your backyard or even in your driveway. The What To Do With The KidsR website has simplified the task so that you and your children can put down the smart phones and get outside for some exercise, fresh air and fun. Find a flat area close enough that your garden hose can reach. Stomp on the snow in that area to pack it down. Have the kids run around on it. Once it’s packed, knock off the high points and fill in the holes with a shovel so that it’s somewhat flat. Sprinkle a light layer of water on it and let it freeze. This may take just a few hours or overnight depending on the temperature. Repeat with another light sprinkle until the entire surface has a thin layer of ice. Air pockets can be removed by stepping on them so that your next layer of water fills it in. TWO INCHES

ticipation medals and a group picture, with the swimmers then off for a well-deserved break over the holidays. Training and competitions are to resume in the New Year.

ADOPTION OF THE 2014 ANNUAL BUDGET

Dated at the Township of Lanark Highlands this 7th day of January 2014.

Peewees keep it close

You want at least two inches of ice before skating on it and make sure there is nothing sticking out of the surface such as rocks or branches. The secret to great ice is to water late at night and often but not too thick to allow it time to freeze between layers. Snow acts as an insulator, so it’s important to keep it shovelled off. You can even use the snow you shovel off to make yourself seating on the side. There are more tips and tricks available at www.whattodowiththekids.com, including how to make a hockey rink and how to turn your backyard into an almost NHL-style venue.

Newspapers had many uses in the Depression years Lifestyle - Even though the Depression was all around us, and money was as scarce as hen’s teeth, there always seemed to be enough to have many newspapers come into our house in Renfrew County. The Renfrew Mercury and the Ottawa Farm Journal came as regular as clock-work, and the Family Herald and Weekly Star, thick as the soul of a boot, was delivered by the mailman and had something in it of interest to every

one in the family. As well, when Mother could spare the 25 cents, she brought home the Philadelphia Enquirer from Ritza’s Drug Store, just because there was plenty of news in it about her beloved New York City. Every paper was read cover to cover. The Renfrew Mercury was a real farmer’s paper, with a spattering of social news, like who had visited who for afternoon tea, and, of course, it was full of ads of the stores in Renfrew who were offering not-to-bemissed sales of the week, like long underwear for $1. The Ottawa Farm Journal was just that, a journal for farmers, but plenty of news about what was going on at Parliament Hill, enough to cause Father to swear in German when he read it. The Family Herald and Weekly Star came from some far-off place, and when it arrived in our mailbox at the end of the lane, it was as exciting as getting the new issue of Eaton’s catalogue! There were puzzles, pen pals to exchange letters with, a pattern Mother could send for 10 cents, and my favourite, a picture to be coloured with crayons! Mother’s Philadelphia Enquirer was of no interest to anyone but Mother. And when she was finished with it, it looked like a piece of Swiss Cheese. She spent hours clipping and pasting into her scrapbooks any mention of New York. Every scrap of newspaper, once it had been read, was saved for another use. The papers were piled in the wood box beside the Findlay Oval at the ready. And when the pile got too high, they were moved to the summer kitchen. The soot-covered lampshades on the coal oil lamps were cleaned with bunched

up newspapers. This was a job I hated, but since I was the youngest, with the smallest arm, it was my duty to clean them. I hated the feel, and the sound, which reminded me of a piece of chalk rubbed the wrong way on the blackboard at the Northcote school. It didn’t take long for the first wipe to turn the paper black as ink. By the third wipe, you could at last see inside the glass shade, and by then my hand and my arm, right up to my elbow were covered with soot. Newspapers were used to put a shine to the burners on the kitchen stove too. This was done when the fire had died down. Mother would take a blob of pork grease, dab it here and there on the lids, and with a big wad of newspaper, clean off the stove. The smell of the singed grease would fill the kitchen, and Emerson to add a bit of drama, would pretend he was choking to death, clutch his throat and hold his breath until he turned red in the face. The smell would stay in the house until the next time the stove was stoked and the remains of the grease burned away. And, of course, Father couldn’t start the fire in the morning without a good supply of newspapers from the wood box. They too were scrunched up, the kindling put on top, then the smaller blocks of wood, the papers lit and the stove was set for the day.

The well-read newspapers got a real workout every Saturday morning too. Once the floors had been scrubbed, papers were spread out to keep the floors as clean as possible for as long as possible, which wasn’t long once winter had set in. And to save the braided mats from taking the brunt of the snow off our boots, several layers of newspapers were spread out on the mats at the door, and when they were sodden through, rolled up, tucked back into the wood box to dry out, and then fed into the Findlay Oval, where they sizzled and spit in the fire. It wasn’t unusual, if a pair of shoes came in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie that were too big, to have a wad of newspaper crammed in the toes. And my three brothers always used several thicknesses of newspaper folded tightly and placed under their felt innersoles to help keep their feet dry in the winter. Always, when the stove wasn’t covered with boiling pots, sizzling fry pans, and the white granite tea pot, sitting on the reservoir would be three or four bricks. And when we were leaving the farm on a blistering cold day or night, the bricks were wrapped in thick layers of newspapers and then put at our feet in the cutter or sleigh to help keep us from freezing. We never had to just burn newspapers to get rid of them. There was a use for every one of them. Every newspaper that came into the house back in those Depression years went on to another life. It was recycling at its highest, long before the word was ever invented. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

EDUCATION

Director’s report puts spotlight on busy 2013 Arnprior News – Renfrew County District School Board director of education Roger Clarke shared his annual report with the board of trustees at their December board meeting. The report highlights a very busy year as many strides forward were taken by the public school board during 2013 while the board continued to follow the path of its guiding principles.

The school board is educating 9,511 students in 31 schools in 2013. The board is the third largest employer in Renfrew County. “This annual report is a team effort and in creating the pages within this document, we have collectively been able to reflect on the important work of supporting our students in their education from Kindergarten to graduation,” Clarke said in his mes-

sage to parents. “Our board has set high standards by establishing three guiding principles for our district. “As you can see from this report, there is ample evidence that our district has transformed these principles into everyday practice in our 31 schools.” The 33-page director’s annual report is packed full of photos, stories

and statistics covering 2013. It covers where the board is right now and where it is headed into the future. The 2013 RCDSB director of education’s annual report is available to the public and can be found on the board’s website: www.rcdsb.on.ca/ en/board/directorsreports.asp. For a paper copy of the annual report, call the director’s office at 613735-0151.

Public school board to host Valley’s first Edcamp News - The Renfrew County Public school board is looking forward to hosting the first Edcamp held in Renfrew County. What is Edcamp, you ask? The school board is glad you did. Built on principles of connected and participatory learning, Edcamp strives to bring teachers together to talk about the things that matter most to them: their interests, passions and questions. Teachers who attend Edcamp can choose to lead sessions on those things that

matter, with an expectation the people in the room will work together to build understanding by sharing their own knowledge and questions. “Edcamps strive to provide space for (school board staff) to learn from each other,” explains Edcamp founder Kristen Swanson. “They give everyone a voice and a forum to explore new ideas and strategies.” PARTICIPANT-DRIVEN

Edcamps are free, participant-driven, professional

development. It is an opportunity to think, talk and share with others. The first ever Edcamp was held in May, 2010 in Philadelphia and since that time there have been more than 250 Edcamps held worldwide including in Stockholm, China, Sweden and all over the U.S. and Canada. At an Edcamp, there are no formal keynote speakers. The schedule is created on the day of the event by participants. Anyone attending Edcamp is welcome to facilitate or present a session.

What types of sessions might be held? Depending on participants, sessions might include topics such as: three-part math lessons, integrating those new iPads into your classroom, harnessing the power of social media in the classroom, accessibility features on the iPad, project based learning and documenting student learning. LAW OF TWO FEET

Participants follow the Law of Two Feet. If a session is not meeting

an individual’s needs, participants are encouraged to move between rooms. Edcamps are open to anyone – teachers, EAs, ECEs, administrators, parents, the community - everyone. Edcamp Renfrew County is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Champlain Discovery Public School at 390 Bell St. in Pembroke. To attend or facilitate a session, register at: http://tinyurl.com/edcamprc/. Follow Edcamp Renfrew County on Twitter @EdCampRC.

students to learn about Islam News – Arnprior District High School students will visit an Ottawa mosque Jan. 14 to learn more about Islam. The question-and-answer session at 1 p.m. is part of the Cordova Centre’s multi-faith initiatives promoting understanding of the religion. Imam Mohamad Jebara will speak to the Arnprior students. EXPELLING MYTHS

In announcing the visit, the Cordova Centre pointed out many myths and ideologies exist that have tarnished the image of Islam. “The purpose of the event is to help young people, of different faiths sift through the rubble that is falseness and understand the basics of Islam by means of authentic scholarly knowledge.” The Cordova Centre welcomes invitations to have Imams attend area school or for students to visit the mosque.

United Way extends campaign to Jan. 31 News – There is still time to give. The Renfrew County United Way’s annual fundraising campaign, which began Sept. 10, was scheduled to run until Dec. 12. However, as of mid-December, the campaign had not achieved its goal of raising $500,000. With about $370,000 in donations and pledges receivable through workplace payroll deductions, the United Way board decided to extend the campaign until Jan. 31. The campaign’s honourary chairman, Dr. Robert Walker, has issued an appeal to all residents and businesses in Renfrew County “to please give generously to the United Way.” He stressed donations stay in the Ottawa Valley to help those in local communities most in need. It could be a family member, a neighbor or a co-worker, he noted. “Your donation will be an investment in helping our community be healthier and more socially inclusive.”

Banks boost UW

The United Way is focusing its resources on six impact areas that Renfrew County communities have identified: child poverty, youth, seniors, safe and affordable housing, transportation, and health. Funding will continue to serve basic human needs and crisis services. The United Way is also committed to directing resources to preventative measures. All donations over $25 will receive a charitable tax receipt for income tax purposes. “Renfrew County residents are well known for their generosity and caring,” said Dr. Walker. “I do hope you will continue this tradition and take the opportunity to donate to your community through the Renfrew County United Way. Visit www.renfrewcountyunitedway.ca for details on how you can support the efforts to create positive, significant and lasting change, he added. “Give. Volunteer. Act. Wishing you good health, lots of happiness and great prosperity for 2014.”

Scotiabank presents a $2,500 cheque to Renfrew County United Way on behalf of the county’s seven Scotiabank branches. From left are Arnprior branch manager Stacey Kelly, Renfrew branch manager Mike Brydges, Ottawa Valley Scotiabank community manager and Pembroke branch manager John Becvar, Beachburg and Cobden branches manager Mary MacFarlane, Renfrew County United Way executive director Gail Logan and funds distribution committee chair Cathi Fairfield of Arnprior, and Deep River branch manager Brian Morris. “It’s a donation for community well-being, and Renfrew County United Way is all about that,” said Becvar.

The date for this year’s festival will be Aug. 23, 24 and 25. It will be our fifth anniversary as well. It started six years in our backyard with a ton of mosquitoes, a bright harvest moon and refreshments (for

the mosquitoes, of course). After a lot of discussion, it was decided a festival would work wonders for the downtown before school started again. The next problem was a name for it. Because of all the beautiful White Pine forest in our area, it would be called the Arnprior White Pine Festival. It would be held for two days, have many different events and there would be no charge for attendance to it.

Although we were told it would be a waste of time, my partner Mike Marcil and I decided we would find out if this would be true. After five years with many entertaining events and roughly an average 9,000 visitors each year, we are getting bigger, better and more entertainment each year and enjoyed by all. Starting last year, we are having so many new individuals, groups, events, and ideas that this year

should be a super success (please Mr. Weatherman). Come to join in all the fun. This is only an announcement to inform all that we will be back bigger and better. On behalf of my partner Mike Marcil and myself, we would like to thank the following: our sponsors, our helpers, those who provided different events and entertainment, and especially all who came out and enjoyed it.

To the Town of Arnprior, we thank you for allowing us the use of the downtown, our beautiful Robert Simpson Park and so many of their great staff. A special thanks to Glenn Arthur, recreation director. You have been a huge part of the festival, a great liaison as well as a friend. Again Happy New Year , welcome to the start of the Arnprior White Pine Festival. We will be keeping everyone updated as we move forward.

GM leads the way in

choosing a new CEO

Biondo, General Motors’ Global Vehicle Security lead. “With new standard features and the available theft protection package, we are making the all-new 2015 Tahoe a less attractive target to thieves and more secure for our customers.” If a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is stolen, the standard equipment OnStar (GM’s communication system) can help. Stolen Vehicle Assistance consisting of Stolen Vehicle Location, Stolen Vehicle Slowdown and Remote Ignition Block all can assist law enforcement in stolen vehicle location and recovery.

by Brian Turner

Mary Barra, 51, executive vice president, Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain, was elected by the board of directors to become the next CEO of General Motors. Barra will also join the GM Board. She thus becomes the first woman to head a multinational auto manufacturer. Mary was named senior VP, global product development in February, 2011 and was responsible for the design, engineering, program management and quality of GM vehicles around the world. In August of 2013, she assumed responsibility for GM’s global purchasing/supply chain organization as an executive VP. She had previously been VP of global human resources. She has also served as VP for global manufacturing engineering; plant manager at Detroit Hamtramck Assembly; executive director of competitive operations engineering; and has held several engineering and staff positions. In 1990, Barra graduated with a Masters in Business Administration from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. She began her career with GM in 1980 as a General Motors Institute (Kettering University) coop student at the Pontiac Motor Division. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering. She serves on the General Dynamics and Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute Board of Directors. Barra is also a member of the Kettering University Board of Trustees and is GM’s Key Executive for Stanford University and University of California-Berkeley.

2015 Tahoe Beefs Up Security

Customers of the 2015 Chevrolet fullsized SUV, the Tahoe will get a vehicle that offers a new level of security and one designed to deter thieves who target vehicle parts. New standard features include a steering column lock that deters push-away and tow-away theft ( a significant portion of today’s stolen vehicle incidents), side cut keys that deter lock picking, and more robust door lock cylinders and shields to prevent access with slim-jims and other tools. Also new in this and other GM models is hidden storage, such as a compartment behind the available infotainment screen accessible by electronic code. “We have engineered a layered approach to vehicle security,” said Bill

2014 Spark Receives Top Safety Pick Award

The 2014 Chevrolet Spark is a Top Safety Pick in its first year of eligibility, and is the only vehicle in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) mini-car segment to earn the rating in 2014 model year testing. Spark achieved highest possible “good” scores in the IIHS’s moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints tests, and scored an “acceptable” in IIHS’s new small overlap test, designed to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle strikes another vehicle or an object like a tree or a utility pole.

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.

PETS

Connected to your community

Memories matter at new pet cemetery business Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Community – West Carleton’s newest business is indeed a pet cemetery, but that’s where the similarities with Stephen King’s horror story end. Patrick and Sabine Couture are the proud owners of the Resting Paws Pet Cemetery and Crematorium Inc. on Torbolton Ridge Road east of Arnprior. It is the only fullservice pet after-care centre in the area. Far from macabre, the building is bright and serene and the property is designed as an ideal final resting place for that beloved family pet. Roxy the greeter dog is happy to welcome guests and even happier to meet people willing to take a minute to throw her precious Frisbee. “We aim to bridge the gap between pet owners and veterinary clinics once a family pet passes away,� said Patrick. The idea for the business was inspired by one of Patrick’s pastimes and the family’s own experience with losing pets over the years. Having served in the military for 28 years, Patrick was not ready to sit idly upon retiring so he went back to school, completing the photonics course at Algonquin College.

His lifetime love of woodworking and newly acquired knowledge of lasers and the like led him to making urns for pet ashes – complete with plaques or black granite or white marble etchings. Marketing the urns led the couple to do more research into the industry and they realized there was a definite market for the services offered at Resting Paws. Crematory services are offered in Pembroke but are no longer in Ottawa, where animals are shipped to Guelph for cremation. There are no nearby facilities that offer the full gamut of services, from pickup to cremation to burial of the animal or scattering of the ashes. So what requirements are there for creating such a business? “You need to be crazy,� said Patrick with a laugh. Patience and a willingness to learn also help. Getting Resting Paws off the ground began in August 2011 and the doors just opened Nov. 13. “That’s how long it took to get all the permits and all the details worked out,� said Sabine. It was years of planning, regulations and red tape to get the business going. “They threw the book at us, and it got to the point that it was getting quite expensive,�

she said. Their perseverance and solid planning paid off. “In a project like this you have to see the full picture through to the end,� said Patrick. “It’s a huge investment.� First came the property acquisition, with the Coutures eying up property already zoned for cemetery use. The 15 acres on Torbolton Ridge Road best fit the bill for the couple, who live in the west end of Ottawa. Then came the task of grooming the property, constructing the building and purchasing and installing the 18,000-pound crematorium. To learn more about the business and operating a crematory, Patrick attended a funeral directors convention in the United States where he made a connection with a pet crematorium and cemetery in Chicago, Ill. He and Sabine returned later to spend some time with the owners and learn everything they could. They have visited other facilities along the way, as well. PERSONAL TOUCH

The Coutures have always owned pets and their own experiences have helped them understand how to help people dealing with loss.

2013 BRIDAL TRIBUTE

The Renfrew Mercury West Carleton Review Arnprior Chronicle Guide

“The personal touch is really important to us,� said Sabine. “We treat everybody – people and animals – with the respect they deserve.� There is an open-door policy – clients are welcome to see any area of the facility and are welcome to come back to visit plots or areas where their pets ashes have been scattered. For clients wishing to have their pet’s ashes returned, private cremation is recommended. The animal is cremated alone and once completed, the ashes are returned to the client in a complimentary biodegradable urn. Communal cremation services are also offered, during which several animals are created at the same time. Ashes are then scattered on the cemetery grounds and a tribute marker can be purchased and placed near the scattering area. So far there have been eight private cremations and three or four communals. Dogs, cats, a love bird and even a guinea pig are among the animals who have been cremated. Reaction to Resting Paws has been positive. People are sometimes taken aback at first, but upon further

consideration often see the value in having the services available. And while some have said ‘We’re from Dunrobin, we bury our pets in the backyard,’ three or four of the cremations done in the first weeks have been from Dunrobin. The Coutures have focused on supporting local business-

es wherever possible, as well, and hope to become a strong partner with local enterprises. They hope to grow the business eventually, with construction done to accommodate a second crematory when it’s needed. For more information visit the website resting pawsottawa.com .

36 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, January 9, 2014

Lifestyle - Often I hear stories of dogs that counter surf or remove food from the table, etc. Although it sounds funny, the following is a list of five foods that could potentially kill your dog. One of the best ways to prevent such bad behaviour is to teach your dog to “leave it” or “drop it.” These commands will prevent them from consuming dangerous foods both at home and outdoors. It’s also important to train young children not to leave things where dogs can get into them. 1. Chocolate - While the amount of chocolate your dog consumes will also determine the toxicity, symptoms of chocolate poisoning to look out for can include vomiting, diarrhea and seizures. The darker the chocolate is, the more serious the poisoning can be, making baker’s chocolate and cocoa powder more dangerous than milk chocolate. 2. Xylitol - An artificial sweetener found in sugarless gum, candy and baked goods. Although Xylitol may be approved for people, it can cause liver damage and a life-threatening drop in blood sugar in dogs. According to the Pet Poison Helpline (PPH), a 10pound dog would only need to eat a single piece of sugar-

can be created in your dog’s stomach if they ingest homemade or store bought yeast dough used in making bread, rolls and pizza. Even small amount of alcohol, both ingested through alcoholic beverages and produced in the stomach, can be life-threatening. Symptoms can include seizures. COLD WEATHER WARNING

IAN STUPP free gum to reach a potentially toxic dose. Low blood sugar can develop within 10 to 15 minutes of ingestion, in addition to vomiting and loss of coordination, says PPH. 3. Grapes - Both grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. The signs of poising could include vomiting, increased urination and increased thirst. 4. Onions/Garlic - If eaten in large amounts, onions and garlic can cause the destruction of red blood cells and lead to anemia in dogs. Although the size of the dose determines the level of poisoning, lethargy and a reduced appetite can be symptoms of a toxic reaction. 5. Alcohol - Beer, wine and cocktails aside, alcohol can also be found in desserts and

As temperatures keep dropping, we should be aware of the dangers of keeping our pets outdoors longer than they need to be. Frostbite is a condition that can occur in both cats and dogs as a result of exposure to freezing or subfreezing temperatures. It most commonly affects the tips of the ears, the tail, the scrotum (in unneutered males), and the feet (especially the toes). Rule of thumb, if it too cold for you to go outside, than it is too cold for your pets to be outside. Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior. For comments or suggestions, he can be reached at 613-623-6200 or wagswhiskers@hotmail.com.

Enjoy winter safely, avoid injuries Lifestyle - Every day, two Canadian children die from unintentional injuries and another 80 require hospitalization. It’s the little things that matter when it comes to protecting children from getting hurt. By providing a safe sleep environment for your children, ensuring they wear a helmet when skating, or riding a bike or scooter, and using car seats, booster seats and seatbelts properly for every car ride, you can make a difference to your child’s safety. As winter begins and people begin to enjoy the activities that go along with it, Canadians can look to www.HealthyCanadian.gc.ca for tips on keeping safe this season. Play it safe. When your children are out playing – whether in a team sport like hockey or for unstructured fun like tobogganing – keep them safe by taking the right precautions. Organized sports: Prevent head and eye injuries by making sure your child wears the proper safety equipment for whatever sport he or she is playing: shin pads and cleated shoes for soccer; a helmet and face protector for hockey, etc. Ice-skates, sleds and toboggans: Cold Canadian winters allow for many fun activities like ice-skating and tobogganing. Keep safety top-of-mind during these activities because children can be seriously injured if they crash and hit their heads, run into an object or another person, or fall through ice into open water. Avoid the chance of injury by: • checking equipment each season to make sure it still fits and is in good condition; • making sure your children wear proper safety gear, especially a helmet designed for the

activity taking place; • not allowing your kids to sled near roads, parking lots, rocks, trees or fences; • never skating or playing near open water; • dressing children warmly and in layers, and watching for frostbite on cold days; • putting sunscreen on exposed skin: UV rays are a hazard even in winter and on cloudy days; • using a neck warmer instead of a scarf, and removing drawstrings and cords from clothing to prevent these items from getting caught or tangled on objects and strangling your child. Keep children safe when ice skating. • make sure they always wear a helmet, as the slick ice makes it easy to slip and fall. • have them skate in the same direction as everyone else on the ice. Kids who are slower skaters should stick to the sides of the rink, and you should skate with them. • make sure that young learners have access to proper support by holding your hand or the railing around the rink. If you are skating with children on a frozen lake, river or pond: • inspect the ice before your children start skating. Let them know where the ice is smooth and thick enough for skating; • never skate near pockets of open water on a frozen lake - this means the ice is thin or you are near a cracked surface; • ensure children wear warm clothing to prevent frostbite or hypothermia. The federal government has more winter fun safety tips available on the healthycanadians website at www.healthycanadians.gc/ca/ kids-enfants/injury-blessure/gear-sports-equipments-eng.php.

The moment that you died our hearts were torn in two. One side filled with heartache, the other died with you. We often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, we do it every day, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. We hold you tightly in our hearts and there you will remain.

Ken Marcellus July 23, 1951 – January 6, 2004 My love, ten years have passed by so unbelievably quickly. You were taken away from us way too soon. The value you put on life taught me so much and is instrumental in carrying me through each and everyday – You always said “Life is too short – enjoy it”. You lived life like the gift it is. Life without you is an emotional roller coaster; however, my memories of you and our life together will always keep me looking forward to the sunshine – the one thing you always brought to my life. How grateful and lucky I am to be the one you chose to spend your precious years with – I will never leave this world wondering what true love is – because of you I had it all. Our boys keep you alive – they each in their own way possess bits and pieces of your character that is so precious to me. We miss your smile, we miss your laughter, we miss your sense of humour, we miss your song – I miss us! All our love, forever and always, Carol, Sheldon and Margot, Kent and Jen, Mia and Silas The Marcellus and Couvieau families

Every time that I smile, Every time that I sigh, I think of your face, And a tear escapes my eye. You were my world, My inspiration and my heart, But when you left me, I thought I would fall apart. You were my best friend, My one true ‘confidante’, And that’s not all you were, You were also my mom. I didn’t want to live without you, But you would have wanted me to, And if there’s anyone I want to make happy, That anyone is you I would have given anything to have you back, But I know now that it was meant to be, For you are still watching from up there, And I know you’re watching me. I’ll make you proud mom, I’m going to fulfill your wish, You’re going to see me and smile, That’s a daughter’s promise.

We little knew that morning That God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you You did not go alone. For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us precious memories Your love is still our guide And though we cannot see you You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again.

Sister St. Stephen passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 1, 2014 at The Sisters of St. Joseph Motherhouse surrounded by her sisters. She was in the 59th year of Religious Life. Sister was born in St. Charles PEI, a daughter of the late Philomena and Hubert Gallant. Left to celebrate with joy her life among us are her Sisters in the Congregation and her cousin Sharold (Martin) Mergl from Montreal, Quebec. Sister St. Stephen spent much of her working career as a cook and pastry chef. For fifteen years she had the opportunity to use her skills in the restaurant on Parliament Hill (1988-2003). She considered this experience as a special ministry - sharing joy, happiness and a good sense of humour with everyone she encountered. Her chef’s coat was a proud display of the love for that position. She often shared her ‘down east’ tradition of singing and acting out her favourite song by Rita MacNeil, ‘I’m a Workin’ Man I Am’. These performances were enhanced by the garb of the participants, dressing up as miners. Even in her declining health, she spent hours in the Chapel, continuing to be a prayerful, joyful and fun-filled Sister of St. Joseph in Canada. Visitation at St. Joseph’s Motherhouse, 1127 Pembroke Street West, Pembroke on Friday, January 3rd after 4:00 p.m. with a prayer service at 7:00 p.m. The funeral mass will be celebrated by Msgr. A. Pick on Saturday, January 4th at 10:30 a.m. in the Motherhouse Chapel. Interment at St. Columba’s Cemetery, Pembroke. Arrangements by the Neville Funeral Home 491 Isabella St., Pembroke (613) 732-7481 Online Condolences may be left at www.nevillefuneralhome.ca or pembroke@csjcanada.org

We Only Wanted You They say memories are golden Well maybe that is true. We never wanted memories, We only wanted you. A million times we needed you, A million times we’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place No one can ever fill. If tears could build a stairway And heartache make a lane, We’d walk the path to heaven To bring you back again. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same.

The second annual December Braeside Home Furnishings’ fundraiser for the Arnprior and Renfrew district food banks involved the raffle of a ‘Victor’ Lazy-Boy chair, complete with team logo insert. The chair was donated by the store’s Cathy Brennan. Draw ballots for the chair were given out for a monetary or food donation to either food bank during December. Both food banks benefitted greatly from the generous donations received from the fundraiser and their volunteers are “most appreciative of Braeside Home Furnishings’ charity and largesse,� reports Arnprior District Food Bank president Kathy Tonkin. The winning ballot was drawn live on Valley Heritage Radio Dec. 20 and the winner was Marc Murdock of Cotieville. Brennan said she was very pleased to be able to help the needy of the community, especially at Christmas, and has already committed to taking part in the initiative again next year. Shown at the store are Amy Foley, who helps her mother Cathy Brennan manage the store, and her son Quinn and Tonkin, right. tinues; shanty breakfast 7-11 a.m.; Junkyard Symphony 10:30 a.m.; Little Ray’s Big Reptiles 11:30 a.m.; free public swimming 1-3 p.m., wine tasting 7 p.m.

Arnprior School of Dance student earns Disney spot Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Arnprior School of Dance’s Layne Wilson, in her winter wear production makeup, prepares for her role in a television production that included superstar Neil Patrick Harris.

News – It’s a long way to dance from West Carleton to Orlando, but for Layne Wilson it was worth every feather step and pirouette. The nine-year-old West Carleton dancer participated in the ABC television production of the Walt Disney World Christmas day parade. Along with dancers from across Canada and the U.S. she joined Disney characters, the cast of the Tony-award winning Broadway show the Newsies, and host Neil Patrick Harris for the event held on the first week of December. Layne dances with the Arnprior School of Dance and had to pay some of the cost through the talent agency Be Discovered. But she also had to prove she had the right stuff to be on stage with triple threats like Harris, a star in both Broadway and Hollywood. “It was cool,” Layne said. “It was a lot of dancing. It was definitely nervous for some people. I didn’t think it was any harder than at my dance school.” Her proud parents, Susie and Jason, along with siblings Emma and Ava, were excited for the dancer and the chance to travel to Florida for the show.

Susie said they expected the dancing part, but the production surrounding it was larger than life. “It was pretty neat. We really weren’t expecting the production involved,” Susie said. “We expected the dance part, but it was very American. We really enjoyed it.” Layne intends to keep dancing. She isn’t tripping over herself to turn professional; she’s just enjoying her time at dance school. “I’m going to keep on dancing. It’s fun to keep moving all over the place.” STARS

Along with Harris and Nick Cannon, this year’s show saw television anchor Lara Spencer host the parade, a duet by American Idol Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo, performances by Demi Lovato, the cast of ‘Teen Beach Movie’ and Dove Cameron. Ne-Yo, along with starstudded sounds by English-Irish boy band The Wanted, Italian vocal trio Il Volo, American Idol season 12 champion Candice Glover and more rounded out the entertainment. The Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade aired Dec. 25 on numerous American stations and the CBC Network.
