Miller Paving argues kingston kingston REGION REGIONreduction against of aggregate extraction .CA

However, before the decision, Miller lawyer John Ewart listed several arguments against the move: â&#x20AC;˘ The issue is already before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), so the amendment would be an attempt to â&#x20AC;&#x153;bypass the jurisdictionâ&#x20AC;? of that body; â&#x20AC;˘ The amendment would not have the â&#x20AC;&#x153;benefit or.CA scrutiny of professional planning and environmental review,â&#x20AC;? hence would not be in keeping with the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official plan; â&#x20AC;˘ The province supports the protection of a long-term supply of aggregate where realistically possible. A former bylaw in support of the quarryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original size shows the township believes it was realistic. Meeting chairman and Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden confessed that Ewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech was a lot to digest and suggested the latter submit it in writing. That was agreed to be done the next morning, in addition to an earlier letter summarizing the same arguments. Meanwhile, a group called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Golf Club Road Residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; made a presentation during the regular council meeting. Spokesman John Kerr insisted his property rights be respected and his family be kept safe from Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; McNab-Braeside council chambers were packed with supporters when a bylaw passed to protect homes near the Braeside quarry, but not before the lawyers of construction giant Miller Paving argued against it. About 25 township residents attended the Jan. 6 public meeting, followed by a regular council meeting. They expected members of the new council to fulfill a campaign promise: reduce the quarry size, thereby protecting the well-being and property values of some 150 homes in the area, along with the sensitive ecosystem. Council did just that, amending a bylaw to rezone 150 of a 300-metre strip of land from â&#x20AC;&#x153;extractive industrialâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;extractive industrial reserve.â&#x20AC;? That means aggregate extraction will not be permitted as close to homes, particularly those along Golf Club Road.

Braving the cold for some winter fun Angie Foster is busy changing helmets for little Max, left, and Jacob Ralph at the Caruso Street park outdoor rink Monday afternoon. The weather was still bearable at that time, but soon plummeted to the -30C range. However, after two days of bone-chilling cold, the temperatures are moderating in time for this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arnprior Optimists winter carnival. After childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events tonight (Thursday) at the Nick Smith Centre, it will be the adults turn Friday evening with the annual Pub Night festivities featuring the AC/DC tribute band Great Scott. A full day of activities is planned Saturday including a shanty breakfast, family entertainment, free skating and swimming, a sliding party on Haveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hill, and a trivia night (see page 4 for times).

Residents ‘demand respect’ for property boundaries Snowplow crash Continued from front

“We expect to retain full use of our lands as purchased and insist that we remain safe from all adverse effects while situated anywhere on our own property,” Kerr said. “We, therefore, demand respect with regards to our property boundaries. We object to the scale of this expansion including the new industrial uses which introduces grave potential risks to my family and property.” He described how residential lots were established in 1980, three years before the quarry came into being. Most of the homes were built in the decade that followed, before the purchase of much of the strip in question was made. It was later rezoned to extractive industrial in 1999, Kerr said. It was in 2007 that Miller first planned for a quarry expansion and permanent asphalt plant and concrete plant. Kerr’s point is that the residents were there first, and that back when the zoning

Derek Dunn/Metroland

John Kerr, spokesman for Golf Club Road Residents, makes a presentation to McNab-Braeside council in favour of rezoning quarry property to a “reserve” status. changed, municipal governments were not nearly as open and transparent as today. For instance, the document in which changes were made to accommodate the quarry owner was 100 pages and did not include direct consultation

or notice to area residents, he said. “Nobody understood or knew the implications, or that it was done at all.” He cited the township’s official plan several times, including where it strives to

“avoid land conflict” and to “maintain compatibility” between sensitive land uses and industrial facilities. Kerr concluded by saying the group supports the new council’s opposition to the asphalt plant and inadequate buffer areas. But he would like the township to shift the zoning away from extractive industrial or even extractive industrial reserve to “environmental protection.” Another member of the group agreed. “I do not want my grandkids to be fighting this fight 20 years from now,” said Jeff Burns.  The OMB will hold a prehearing into the matter at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27 in McNab-Braeside council chambers. The full hearing, scheduled to take as long as four weeks, is set to begin March 2. Both the residents and Miller Paving are appealing the previous council’s decision that would allow an expanded aggregate extraction area at the quarry, but not a permanent asphalt plant.

results in new purchase Staff

News - A township snowplow that spun off the road last month led to the purchase of a new one. McNab-Braeside council agreed to pay almost $213,000 plus tax for a new truck. Another $2,500 is needed to outfit the truck for service – including a radio, decals and summer tires. The truck is a 2015 model

7600 International Plow Truck from Tallman Truck Centre. Insurance paid out about $142,000 for the 1999 Volvo, which was due be taken out of service this year. It will be sold to the highest bidder, though damages total almost $161,000. The Dec. 11, 2014 snowstorm contributed to the snowplow flipping on its side on Robertson Line after hitting a big dip in the road.

Council not going postal Staff

News - Arnprior council has refused to support another municipality’s attempt to maintain door-to-door mail delivery. The town was asked to sign onto a County of Huron letter objecting to Canada Post’s proposed plan to end residential home delivery in Canada. Protecting jobs and ensuring the elderly don’t risk injury while walking to communal mailboxes are often-cited reasons for keeping the service. Mayor David Reid and Coun. Frank Dugal spoke against the idea, saying the agency knows best how to solve its financial challenges. Councillors Dan Lynch and Lynn Grinstead were the only two members to side with Huron.

Budget increase covers inflation but not councillor-backed smaller projects Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Arnprior’s top bureaucrat presented council with the 2015 draft budget this week, suggesting a 1.33 per cent tax increase. Chief Administrative Officer Michael Wildman indicated – during the Jan. 12 regular meeting of council – that the additional $100,000 would offset inflation and increase reserve funds. However, even if council passed a zero per cent tax rate increase, staff could still set aside $461,000 for reserves. The extra money represents about $20 per average home, or just $1.67 per month. But it would likely be higher if council approves any or all items on a secret list of projects Wildman handed to individual councillors. Although asked repeatedly after the meeting, the list was not made available to the Chronicle-Guide and questions about how much the tax rate could go up were avoided. At the meeting, Wildman explained that the asset management plan and pay-as-you-go systems are in effect when in comes to the town’s $16 million budget. They eat up the vast majority of revenue pegged for future projects. Which means less borrowing from banks – and paying the interest – to fund infrastructure work. “Hopefully the days of borrowing for major projects are over,” Wildman said. “We are truly following the pay-asyou-go model.” The province decided a few years ago that every municipality needs an asset management plan if it expects to obtain grants. The move was meant to add predictably to budgets and lessen funds for re-election-bolstering pet projects. So the town had to figure out the lifecycle and replace-

DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION

As for capital projects, specifically the $10.7 million downtown revitalization plan, pay-as-you go forces the municipality to set aside funding now. Wildman cautioned council that reserves will go into the negative during the middle two years of the fiveyear project, but by 2018 they will be back in surplus mode. (It is possible that other levels of government could offer grants toward the revitalization, but staff doesn’t assume it in the budget.) The plan is to see McGonigal, between Daniel and John streets, com-

News – The Renfrew-Arnprior Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) continues to be concerned about the number of domestic dispute calls they are receiving. Last week of the 164 calls for service responded to, nine were for domestic disputes. One man was charged with criminal harassment and another was charged with possession of an imitation weapon for a dangerous purpose, four counts of breach of recognizance, break and enter a dwelling house, pointing a firearm, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, domestic mischief, and possession of marijuana.

ment costs of roads, sidewalks, watermains, and sewers. In 2010, the town set aside almost $363,000 for them. In 2014, staff recommended setting aside $2.6 million. In other words, the town is putting more and more money into reserves the last few years; but without raising taxes much more than the inflationary rate. Last year’s tax rate increase was zero. The municipality is able to sock away more while keeping the lid on the tax rate, largely through more taxes coming from population and assessment increases, as well as savings in areas such as OPP costs. Another cost saving measure Wildman pointed to was the switch to LED streetlights. In the first month recorded the lighting cost went from $11,000 to $2,000.

pleted this year at a cost of $508,021. Others will come about in the following years, including John from McGonigal to Madawaska Street (ending at Hydro Park) for $3.1 million; Elgin from Daniel to town hall for $3.1 million; John from McGonigal to William for $1.5 million; McGonigal from John to Hugh for almost $1.2 million; and McGonigal to its western point for almost $1.3 million. Exact details of new streetlight fixtures, greenery, benches and more have yet to be revealed. The draft budget incorporates a contribution to reserves that totals just over $3.1 million. Others municipal responsibilities such as garbage pick-up are moving toward a self-sustaining model. The rate last year was $130; this year $135; next year $140 when a breakeven level will be reached. “Arnprior’s rates are far less than comparators,” Wildman said. McNabBraeside’s, for instance, is $180. BUDGET TALKS

Council will make decisions on this year’s budget during the second week of February. On Monday, Feb. 9, at 6:30 p.m., council will discuss operating costs. On Feb. 10 at 5 p.m. they will discuss departments and services. On Feb. 11 at 5 p.m. it will be marketing and economic development and other areas. On Feb. 12, at 5 p.m. the budget should pass.

During a holiday season interview, ARH president and CEO Eric Hanna talked about winning the Quality Healthcare Workplace Award for the second year in a row. He said the bronze was awarded for the hospital and nursing home meeting 1,800 standards with a 98.5 per cent average. He said it confirms that ARH has the right processes in place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the highest weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever received, and it validates we are focused on the right things,â&#x20AC;? Hanna said. This year the plan is to keep getting patient feedback through a variety of means. The Patient and Family Advisory Council

GROVE FALLS

ERIC HANNA created two years ago has done much to improve quality of care offered by the hospital. Post discharge phone calls, patient surveys, white boards in patient rooms: it all goes toward making the stay better while reduc-

Over at The Grove Nursing Home, the goal is to continue to reduce the number of resident falls. That means removing any clutter and adding more assistance for those who participate in activities. The Grove also received an award this year, a gold star from

a national organization. Hanna described ARHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall financial situation as â&#x20AC;&#x153;doing OK.â&#x20AC;? He said the challenge will be to reallocate money toward emerging needs. Morale is getting better, judging by the larger turnout at the Christmas party. And the fact that turnover is less than 1 per cent compared to the previous high of 8 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news if you are working here. Not so much if you want to,â&#x20AC;? Hanna said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have too many openings.â&#x20AC;? He also gave a tip of the hat to the corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising wing, Partners In Caring, saying the many dedicated and knowledgeable members are a crucial part in continuing the progress. He said last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial election slowed down funding from the Ministry of Health, but that four years of stability should afford ARH the ability to meet the challenges ahead.

Connecting for better care: Hospital, long-term care home collaboration making difference News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Caregivers need vital medical information at their fingertips and a new collaboration at Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) is making it possible. The sharing of electronic health records (EHR) between the hospital and the Grove Long-Term Care Home is having a positive impact for both residents and staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long-term care residents are often transferred to acute care for enhanced care, tests or procedures. When they return, caregivers need to know what has happened and what post-acute care plans are in place,â&#x20AC;? explained CEO Eric Hanna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When everyone has this information, the result is more effective and efficient care.â&#x20AC;? Since last May, designated staff members at the Grove have direct access to the hospi-

tal electronic health record. This information includes discharge summaries, laboratory, diagnostic imaging and other assessments and treatment recommendations. In the past, these details were shared through faxed reports or multiple phone calls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The value is clear, saving valuable time and resources,â&#x20AC;? notes Brenda Jones, assistant director of care at the Grove. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even more importantly, our care is more resident-focused as we are able to avoid duplicate tests, increase safety and have better information to share with residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; families.â&#x20AC;? There are also costs savings from reduced additional and duplicate tests and better use

of staff resources at both the hospital and the long-term care home. ARH is one of eight hospitals in the Champlain Alliance of Small Hospitals (CAsH). This EHR initiative is one of several information technology projects underway. The result is an improved patient experience, better care and cost-effective service delivery. CAsHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision is to develop â&#x20AC;&#x153;innovative rural health delivery optionsâ&#x20AC;? and to advocate for strengthened rural health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ARHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electronic health record initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to a more integrated health system,â&#x20AC;? sums up Hanna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud to be working with CAsH to provide more appropriate and coordinated care.â&#x20AC;?

Renfrew County Watch urges public to participate in Energy East discussions

s #HIROPRACTIC s #USTOM /RTHOTICS s ,ASER 4HERAPY No referral necessary

News - Over the past couple of months, a group of concerned citizens has been meeting to find ways to voice any concerns that Renfrew County residents may have concerning the Energy East pipeline. TransCanada has applied to the National Energy Board to repurpose a natural gas pipeline, which runs through Renfrew County, to transport diluted bitumen from the tar sands in Alberta to the east coast. On the evening of Jan. 8, Renfrew County Watch held a meeting of concerned citizens at the Arnprior library. Participants held widely varying positions on the pipeline, but all voiced concerns about how this project would impact the residents of Renfrew County. One of the main purposes of the group at this time is to provide information to Renfrew County residents so that all who wish to might have the opportunity to participate in the Ontario Energy Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

community consultative process. The group feels it is important the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) hears any concerns that Renfrew County residents may have so that they can be passed along to the National Energy Board. However, the timeline for public input is short. The nearest community meeting with the OEB is set for Thursday, Jan. 22 at Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata from 6 to 9 p.m., and letters must be in to the board no later than Feb. 6. The deadline is in place so that the OEB can complete part two of its consultative process in order to intervene with the National Energy Board on behalf of Ontario citizens. A number of actions resulted from last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arnprior meeting.â&#x20AC;Ż Arnprior councillors will be approached to request that they attend the Jan. 22 meeting in order to address concerns ex-

pressed by their constituents. The public can support this request by contacting councillors directly with concerns at http://arnprior.ca/town/contact-us/#section_48. The OEB will include in its intervention copies of any letters received from Ontarians. People can submit letters to www.ontarioenergyboard. ca â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Have Your Sayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, or via the post, addressed to Attn: Alex Heath, Swerhun Facilitation, 720 Bathurst Street, Suite 500B, Toronto, ON, M5S 2R4. If you would like to peruse some templates for possible letters, there are ones posted at environmentaldefence.ca â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Take Actionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and some letters that members of Renfrew County Watch have written, which will be posted on the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. All letters must reach the OEB no later than Friday, Feb. 6. There is a petition being cir-

culated in paper form at downtown Arnprior businesses, as well as being online at renfrewcountywatcheast.com. The petition will be presented to the OEB on Jan. 22. All copies must be returned to 4 Huyck Dr. in Arnprior by Jan. 20 for compilation. Car-pooling will be organized for those who wish to attend the Kanata meeting on Jan. 22. Call 613-623-6089 to get on the list. Renfrew County Watch points out there are many websites providing â&#x20AC;&#x153;measured informationâ&#x20AC;? on the project, including http://www.ontarioenergyboard.ca , concerning transmission of diluted bitumen via pipeline, as well as the broader concerns of climate change and energy choices for the future. People are welcome to contact the local group on its website renfrewcountywatcheast. com if they require further information.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take away our tobogganing The bans are more to do with protecting themselves (and their taxpayers) than it is to do with protecting children (of all ages) from toboggan injuries. Fortunately, most Canadian jurisdictions have not followed suit (except the wusses in Toronto and Hamilton). But it will take only one or two high profile toboggan hill accidents to have jittery municipal representatives, prodded by nervous insurance agents, seriously considering curtailing the right to toboggan. It could happen right here in Arnprior, and even in McNab-Braeside for that matter. In a society in which there is a desperate need to get people off the couch, away from the keyboard and into the great outdoors for some exercise, that would be a real shame. There are a couple of things the tobogganing loving populace can do to ensure this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. One, they can impress on their elected officials that banning tobogganing would be an unwise and unpopular thing to do. Remember the outcry when some municipalities tried to ban street hockey and outdoor rinks. And two, they can ensure they and their children practice safe tobogganing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that difficult. Sure, there is an element of risk to careening down a crowded snow-packed hill. But as with any winter sport, the key to staying safe is common sense and respect for others. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give the powers-that-be an excuse to take away one of the great joys of winter.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get out and join your neighbours in enjoying a winter evening of family tobogganing fun. After all, you might not be able to much longer. The Arnprior Optimists are holding a sliding party on popular Haveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hill on the way to the Nick Smith Centre this Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. as an integral part of their annual winter carnival. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the main outdoor event of the three-day carnival. If last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carnival sliding party was any indication, expect a variety of toboggans, sleighs, crazy carpets, saucers, ski-doos, inner tubes and even snow boards to be hurtling down the hill. The Optimists will provide the bonfire, music and hot chocolate to add to the carnival atmosphere. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certain to be a marvellous time now it appears the really cold winter weather and its frostbite warnings have retreated northward. This Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forecast is for a high of -4, a low of -9 and scattered flurries. Sounds like perfect tobogganing weather. But in some jurisdictions, tobogganing is frowned upon no matter what the weather. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all because the liability issue has again reared its ugly head. Some U.S. municipalities, mostly cities, have banned tobogganing, citing fears of being sued if someone is injured. Most of the popular tobogganing hills are on public property and with liability insurance rates skyrocketing hand in hand with lawsuits, officials in many cities are getting cold feet.

LETTER

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that the public attend OMB pre-hearing on quarry

To the editor: Time has a way of slipping by and when one is given a date more than a year away one feels that it is forever. But in fact, the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing for the proposed Braeside Quarry expansion and permanent asphalt plant is less than two months away. You may not realize it, but the Miller Braeside Quarry expansion application process has been going on for nine years. And, of course, that process will continue for all of us on the Braeside Ridge right through the Ontario Municipal Board hearing this March. You have read news story after news story and letter after letter from residents frustrated with a process that often excluded them and their legitimate concerns. The next step in that ongoing process is a Pre Hearing Conference on Jan. 27 at 10 a.m. at the

McNab-Braeside Township Council Chambers. It will largely deal with procedural issues such as exchanging expert reports, expert witness statements, and lists of persons who may be called to testify. These and related matters will be discussed by the partiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; legal teams before an Ontario Municipal Board member. The parties and interested members of the public will not be presenting evidence at the Jan. 27 proceedings, but residents who have been called or came forward as participants at the previous Pre Hearing Conference last January will be able to speak at the main OMB hearing in March. Even though the public wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to offer their views to the OMB member on Jan. 27, it is extremely important for people to be there to show their concern about the size of the quarry expansion and the repercussions of the industrial-

And the toughest bird is (it may surprise you) … Lifestyle - When one thinks of tough birds, large and powerful birds like Bald Eagles likely come to mind. Or Snowy Owls that spend winter in open terrain where they face bone-chilling wind and blinding snow. While both species are certainly rugged, I suggest the toughness crown belongs to a much smaller bird. To me, the toughest of all is a Blackcapped Chickadee. So how can a diminutive chickadee be tough? Well, one example became apparent during the recent cold snap. I was watching birds visiting the birdfeeder

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way outside the Nesbitt Building at Carleton University. In addition to hordes of chickadees,

four White-throated and two Song sparrows were present. Those sparrows are actually rare in winter (American Tree Sparrow is the expected winter species), so their presence was noteworthy. However, it was obvious that some of them were having difficulty. One Song Sparrow favoured its left foot and its right wing drooped. A Whitethroated Sparrow seemed to have a bad leg. But the much smaller chickadees were all quite lively, looking as if they were experiencing spring, not winter weather. That was because they have several features to combat

winter conditions. Chickadee feathers provide some of the best insulation afforded to any bird. Studies have revealed that the temperature difference between the skin of a chickadee and the air outside its half-inch of feathers can be more than 90 degrees Fahrenheit! That means very little body heat escapes through their feathers. When the little feathers are fluffed up, even greater insulation value is achieved. Long, cold winter nights pose serious problems for birds. At night, birds must not only fend off the cold but also replace any body heat lost to the night air. Chickadees do something

that very few birds can do: they lower their body temperature by up to 12 degrees Celsius. By lowering their temperature, they burn less fuel to stay warm, plus they reduce the difference between their body temperature and that of the air, so less heat is lost. In their hypothermic state, chickadees are in a deep sleep called torpor. But there is a risk that their body temperature could fall too low. To prevent this, an internal thermostat kicks when a critical temperature is reached. A signal is sent to the large pectoralis flight muscle, which starts shivering. This generates heat, which raises the chickadee’s internal temperature to

a safe level. Then the muscle stops shivering and waits for its next command to spring into action. I unknowingly saw chickadees in torpor on an Algonquin Park Christmas Bird Count long ago. The temperature, believe it or not, was an astonishing – 48 degrees C (at that time, the coldest bird count in North America)! I came across two chickadees that I thought were dead, seemingly frozen to a branch. Then I noticed the hoar frost covering their nostrils was slightly moving. The birds were alive yet motionless, as if they were in a deep trance. Eventually they woke up and flew off to find food. Now those were some tough birds!

A record high number of families were served by the Arnprior and District Food Bank last December. Normally it’s about 150; the last month of 2014 was 188 families. Fortunately for the food bank’s Kathy Tonkin there are people like Trevor Reid, who along with Reid Bros. employees were able to donate $2,600 in their annual December food bank campaign. The company also matches funds (up to $2,500). Since 1995 the Madawaska Boulevard car dealership has donated $144,635.79 to the local food bank.

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, January 15, 2015 13

Health Unit issues advice on staying safe in the cold News – In the middle of last week’s deep freeze, the Renfrew County and District Health unit issued a Cold Weather Health Warning. Lows in the Arnprior area fell to -30°C and even colder with the wind chill. However, temperatures have begun to moderate and will be back to seasonal norms and perhaps even a bit warmed this weekend. However, more cold weather is expected by month’s end. Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Maureen Carew said “Very cold weather increases the risk of hypothermia and frostbite, which can cause serious injury,” said Renfrew County medical officer of health Dr. Maureen Carew in

the health unit release. She encouraged everyone to be careful, especially those who are more likely to be affected by cold weather. Older people, infants and young children, and people with chronic illnesses, disabilities or circulation problems need to be extra careful, she added. Also outdoor workers, people taking part in outdoor sports and those without proper housing or transportation are at risk because of their increased exposure to the cold. During cold weather, Environment Canada says people should take the following precautions: • wear layers of warm dry clothing, includ-

ing a hat, mitts, and a layer to block the wind; • drink warm non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages; • cover exposed skin surfaces when outdoors; • maintain a heated environment of around 20oC/ 68oF; • be aware of how your medications, or health conditions may increase your risk; • be aware of the early signs of frostbite and hypothermia; • be aware of the dangers of using an oven or space heater as a heating device. In very cold temperatures, the health unit is encouraging residents to check on neighbours

and friends who are isolated, disabled, living alone or at risk of cold-related injury. As well, let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return and to be aware that space heaters can pose a risk when not used correctly.

A pipe burst during the early morning hours at McNab Public School on chilly Thursday, Jan. 8. No classes were cancelled and it isn’t expected to be a costly clean-up. Temperatures fell below -30 with the windchill last week as a cold front descended on the area. After temporary relief on the weekend when temperatures rose to a ‘balmy’ -12, the cold weather returned Monday and Tuesday. However, more moderated temperatures are predicted for this weekend, to the relief of Arnprior Optimist winter carnival organizers and other outdoor sports enthusiasts. Derek Dunn/Metroland

News – It was a rather wet start to the school day at McNab on Jan. 8. A pipe burst above one of the public school’s classrooms, likely some time overnight when the temperature was well below -20 C. It is considered a significant burst,

since it spilled water from the ceiling into the class below along with four others. Students from all five classes were moved to other areas, including the gym. No class time was lost. “The teachers were great and they worked together to make the day work,” principal Tracey Stevens said. The classrooms were still closed last Fri-

day, but all was expected back to normal by Monday morning. It won’t be costly clean-up either. The pipe was a hot water one, not wastewater. Ceiling tiles will be replaced by school board workers, not private contractors. No damage was sustained by the floor or walls.

Doner, Plaschy star in Packers victory John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

Sports - The Arnprior Packers moved back into third place in the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley Division with a 2-1 win over Shawville Sunday. The victory in the Quebec town moved the Packers one point ahead of the Pontiacs. Casey Doner and Dominic Plaschy led Arnprior to the narrow victory. Doner had both Packer goals and Plaschy stopped 31 of 32 shots from the high-powered Shawville offense. The teams battled through a scoreless first period in which Packer newcomer Cole Allard was stymied by Pontiac goalie Danick Boisvert on a penalty shot. Doner put Arnprior up 1-0 only 51 seconds into the second period when he scored from Brandon Mendham and Luc Deschamps. Doner than tallied again with only eight

seconds left in the period on set-ups from Deschamps again and Liam Kileen. Shawville outshot Arnprior 10-5 in the third period in an effort to pull even, but only Mathew Labrosse, with an unassisted marker at 16:57, was able to beat Plaschy. Arnprior killed off a dozen penalties in the game, including a roughing call against Plaschy and a double minor spearing penalty to Doner, both in the third period. Shawville lost 4-1 to Stittsville last Friday, taking away their game in hand they had over Arnprior. Stittsville dropped Almonte 7-1 Saturday and Renfrew was upset 6-5 by Perth in a shootout Sunday. Stittsville has moved to within four points of Renfrew (47-43), but the Wolves have a game in hand. The Packers (1713-1) have 34 points, one ahead of Shawville. Almonte has 19 points and Perth 16.

2014 in review: one election down, another heats up a committee that has been meeting in Arnprior to lobby against the plan. The main concern is that the pipeline will cross ecologically sensitive areas, including the Madawaska River in McNab-Braeside and the Rideau River. There are also general concerns about the use of oil and its effect on climate change.   * It took just 27 minutes after the closing of the polls for John Yakabuski to be declared elected June 12 for a fourth straight term as MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. “I wasn’t expecting not to be elected,” said Yakabuski, two days before his 57th birthday. But he didn’t hide the disappointment with his party’s fourth straight defeat at the hands of the Liberals.   * Tyler McEnroe will be forever remembered at Walter Zadow Public School. Family, friends and school staff gathered at the school June 25 for a tree-planting ceremony to honour of Tyler, a student who died of leukemia in 2012.

Following is the second half (June to December) of the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide’s year-end review of the happenings in 2014. JUNE * Hydro rates. Highway 17 four-laning. Public service salaries. Health care. School tuition. Municipal funding. Child poverty. Mental health. Support for agriculture and the forestry sector. These issues and more were touched upon in all-candidates meetings in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke in the lead-up to the June 12 provincial election.   * The municipal water system will extend to the Arnprior Aerospace area as a further safeguard against known carcinogens in the soil. Boeing is the former property owner overseeing the clean-up and will pay for the $500,000 infrastructure expansion that will benefit two homes. The company, which sold to Arnprior Aerospace in 2005, held an open house at the Arnprior public library to explain the situation.   * A company made the case at both McNabBraeside and Arnprior council meetings for converting a natural gas pipeline down the Upper Ottawa Valley to transport up; to 1.1 million barrels of oil from the Prairies to ports on the St. Lawrence River and St. John. Council members listened attentively to the TransCanada Pipeline presentation, hearing abut the benefits – to the economy, to customers – and none of the consequences. Since then local opponents of the EnergyEast pipeline have formed

Governor General David Johnston toured the Arnprior and District Museum with town Mayor David Reid when he visited town to take part in Clara Hughes’ Big Ride.

* While under the gazebo in Robert Simpson Park in front of 3,000 people on the second last day of her cross-country bicycle ride, Olympian Clara Hughes allowed six children to try on her medals. Not only did a multiple Olympic medalist bike along John Street North and into Robert Simpson Park, but Hughes was joined by Governor General David Johnston in the local stretch of Clara’s Big Ride: Going the Distance for Mental Health. Johnston and his wife Sharon, both excellent cyclists, were joined on the ride by Arnprior Mayor David Reid.

R0012957843

JULY   * Rev. Leo Hughes, Arnprior’s senior of the year, has been a major contributor to the town, said Mayor David Reid, at the Canada Day celebration at Hydro Park. “Rev. Hughes’ contribuREV. LEO HUGHES tions to the community and its residents are unsurpassed. His position for over 31 years at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church was his job, but this job spread beyond the church,” said the mayor.   * The company responsible for softballsized rocks raining down on some area family properties near the Highway 17 four-laning work between Campbell and Scheel drives is unapologetic. “I have nothing to say,” said Stuart Mitchell of Consbec, when contacted at his office near Sudbury. “Construction is going on as per normal. That’s all I have to say.”   * McNab-Braeside officials fielded calls on why a boat launch, less than a year old, has been out of commission all spring and into the summer. Township Mayor Mary Campbell is bewildered that a launch, which didn’t exist in Braeside until late August of last year, could upset so many people by not being in use so far this year.  Continued on Page 24

2014 in review: Arnprior Fair a success without Billy G * The midway show must go on, and it will. At least it will in Arnprior, according to Arnprior Fair board president Jeff Desarmia. Southern Ontario-based midway operator Billy G Amusements has fostered a lot of uncertainty in the Ottawa Valley in recent weeks, failing to show up at the Maxville Fair in June and the Almonte Fair in July. The Arnprior Fair Board hired Billy G for the Aug. 7 to 10 fair, but the company indicated it couldn’t meet its commitment. So the fair board had to desperately search for another company to provide a partial midway and come up with amusements of its own.

R0013086793

* A motorcyclist died after colliding with a car just east of Arnprior on Old Highway 17 on July 23. It was one of about 30 motorcycle fatalities in Ontario in 2014, prompting OPP to issue a news release urging motorcycles to slow down (one motorcyclist was clocked going 210 km/h) and other motorists to be more aware of them. The OPP said the myths about such incidents include that most victims are young (more than half in the last seven years have been 45 to 64 years of age) and most are the motorcyclists’ fault (far too often, say OPP, the actions of another driver cause the crashes). Among the common causes of motorcycle fatalities are speed, loss of control, alcohol, failing to yield and inattention.   * The plight of a terribly neglected dog found wandering just east of Arnprior became a cause célèbre thanks to social media. Leo the Lionhearted was taken to the Arnprior Humane Society shelter, nursed back to health and adopted out to a good home.   AUGUST   * A new OPP funding formula was announced that shifts some of the burden for police costings from cities and towns and onto rural municipalities.

* The three-day White Pine Festival attracted crowds to downtown Arnprior and Robert Simpson Park, proving it has become a major summer event in town.,   * Word that an Ottawa company is eyeing 10 acres near the township office as a location for a recreation complex received mixed reviews. It was greated with suspicion by many lobbying for the return of a deal for township residents to use Arnprior’s Nick Smith Centre. Continued on Page 25

McNab-Braeside as the whole five-member council was replaced. The five successful candidates had all criticized the incumbents for mishandling recreation and library agreement negotiations with Arnprior. Former Arnprior councillor Tom Peckett was elected mayor over Coun. Aldene Styles, with incumbent mayor Mary Campbell finishing well back in third. Brian Armsden, one of the most outspoken spokesmen for the group McNab-Braeside residents for reading and recreation, received almost 60 per cent of the vote in winning a four-way race for deputy mayor. Heather Lang topped the polls in the councillor race with Mark MacKenzie and Scott Brum also getting elected to council. All were first-time candidates.

* The Sept. 12 muncicipal election nomination deadline passed with no one challenging Arnprior Mayor David Reid and Reeve Walter Stack. However, the number of candidates vying for five councillor positions rose to nine with the lastminute entry of former fire chief Tom Burnette (who topped the polls). In McNab-Braeside, the last-minute entries of Brian Armsden and Mark MacKenzie (both eventual winners) swelled the number of candidates to 12 for the five-member council. However, school board candidates Andy Bray (Catholic) and Glenn Miller (public) were acclaimed. â&#x20AC;Ż * Arnprior council approved

prison (minus two already served) for the stabbing death of local musician Brodie Armstrong in June of 2013. Gervais avoided a long trial by pleading guilty to manslaughter. The sentencing came after Armstrong family members read tearful victim impact statements in court.

Emerson finds good use for leather leggings sent by Aunt Lizzie Lifestyle - For my sister Audrey and me, the big box sitting in the middle

the box, Everett pulled out two odd looking objects that very much resembled long spats. I was very familiar with this fashionable bit of men’s clothing, because Grandfather wore grey felt ones over his shoes, which I thought was just about the classiest bit of men’s wear I had ever seen. Certainly, not one of the farmers in the Northcote area wore spats. But what Everett hauled out of the wood box wasn’t made of felt. And they were much too long to be spats. They were made of soft rich brown leather. Everett turned them over in his hand a couple times, and suggested they looked like they might be put on a horse in the cold weather. Mother got out of her chair and snatched them away from Everett. “Those are genuine leather leggings,” she said with awe in her voice. “And I used to see them on young lads in New York all the time. Must admit I have never seen them out here,

though.” She turned them over and over in her hand. She held them out at arms length across the room but in front of each brother. “What a shame, I doubt they will fit any one of you.” And she went on to tell us how only the very wealthy in New York wore leather leggings. Emerson, ever willing to be classed as just a cut above average, suggested, they would be just fine to wear to the Northcote School. Mother looked at the brother, who at 12 years of age stood just under six feet tall, and whose muscular legs were as round as a stovepipe. She assured him they would never go around. “See, they are supposed to button up the sides. “You use a button hook to close them.” She had left her chair and gone over to Emerson to hold the leggings up to his outer calf. “They’ll miss closing by a good four inches. “Too bad. Such beautiful leather.”

of the kitchen floor held as summer day. It had come much excitement as pick- that winter’s day, after ing potato bugs on a hot we got the call from the CPR station that it had arrived, and they’d be mighty pleased if Father would come in and get it out of the way. PROUDLY CANADIAN Rarely, if ever, was there a thing in the box Arnprior Location for Audrey or me. Aunt Lizzie had two sons, and so the handme-down box was always filled with things like serge suit coats, often missing the pants, breaks, and an assortment of half worn-out shoes. Occasionally there would be an old dress of my aunts, and Mother always felt it her duty to make it over into some236 MADAWASKA BLVD., ARNPRIOR thing wearable for Audrey or me. Sometimes, there would be something of value that would cause my three brothers a freefor-all as each tried to lay claim, but that was rare. And so that night, crisp and cold outside, with the wind blowing gusts against the windows, we were cozy inside the old log house. Audrey and I watched from our position at the kitchen table, Everett take the crowbar to the wood lid and pry off the top of the hand-me-down box. On the top was the R0013092238/0115 usual array of odds and 245 DANIEL ST S, ARNPRIOR ends. Half way down into

And she set them aside, no doubt already wondering how she could make them over, or who of the less fortunate cousins would fit into them. For the time being, they would be packed away. The next morning, which was unusual for him, Emerson was already downstairs in the kitchen when the rest of us came down for breakfast. Father had already gone to the barns. And there Emerson sat in Father’s chair by the stove, with his feet up on the oven door, and the leather leggings covering his shins from knee almost to his ankle. His breaks fitted tightly at the top, and his short gum rubbers somehow looked awfully out of place on his leather covered legs. Mother, of course, hurried over to the stove to see how he had made them fit. Audrey and I were right behind her. Well, that Emerson was a clever one alright. He had taken the laces out of Father’s work boots, and with a wide gap between the eyes and the hooks of the leggings, he had laced them up. Bare leg showed where the leather should have met, but it didn’t

look like that mattered a whit to Emerson. He got them on and that’s all that was important to him. Now, one would think Emerson would feel self conscious about going off to the Northcote school in something as foreign as leather leggings that no one would ever have seen before in their lives. But not my brother Emerson. And so off he went to the Northcote School, in the dead of winter with the leather leggings. He was sure everyone would be very impressed. Eighteen pairs of eyes scanned him up and down, and he almost looked like he was giving a history lesson. Emerson said what the leggings were for, and how the very welloff people in New York wore them all the time. He made no apology for the fact they didn’t meet even half way around his leg. I expected trouble from Cecil. But one look at Emerson’s almost 6’ height, and there wasn’t as much as a snicker. Well, everything came to a head at recess when Miss Crosby ordered us all out of the school. See COOK, page 28

* With the fate of the recreation and library deals on the line and Mayor David Reid and Reeve Walter Stack acclaimed to office, many Arnprior residents were probably more interested in the McNab-Braeside election than their own. In town, there were two new councillors elected, former fire chief Tom Burnette who topped the polls and former Cumberland councillor Frank Dugal. They replaced Mark Wilmer who retired and Lyle Anderson who missed being re-elected by just over 100 votes. Returned to council were Ted Strike, Dan Lynch and Lynn Grinstead. * Arnprior District High School’s girls rugby team won another Upper Ottawa Valley championship with a convincing 62-0 victory over Bishop Smith at Dochart Park. Both the senior and junior boys football teams won Renfrew County titles, but lost to Almonte in the Lanark-Renfrew finals.

* The Arnprior District High School junior girls basketball team capped off an undefeated season by winning the Renfrew County title. The ADHS senior girls made it to the final before losing a thrilling series 2-1 to arch-rival RCI. * Larger than normal crowds attended Arnprior, Ottawa and other area Remembrance Day ceremonies in the wake of fatal attacks on Canadian soldiers in Ottawa and Montreal. * The Arnprior Packers and several other area Junior B teams confirmed they are planning to reshape the junior hockey landscape in this area by forming a Junior A tier 2 league next season that will make them farm teams to area Junior A teams.

DECEMBER * New councils were sworn into office in Arnprior and McNab-Braeside. Arnprior mayor David Reid said his council would build on the changes in administration, process and attitude implemented in the last four years to attract more commercial and residential growth to town and get to work on such projects as downtown revitalization and development of the waterfront.

change, albeit slow and measured, and said council would get to work on coming up with recreation and library deals with Arnprior. * The eliminating of a spear on the football helmets of the Arnprior District High School Redmen teams revived the debate, mainly on social media, over whether the school’s nickname should be changed. Some felt Redmen was demeaning to Aboriginals, but most defended the name as a sign of respect. * Special meetings by the new Arnprior and McNab-Braeside councils resulted in new recreation and library deals between worked out between the town and township after a tumultuous year without agreements.

It was a bitterly cold day, and by recess, the wind had worked up to a frenzy, and there stood Emerson bundled up like someone from the North Pole, but his legs as bare as a badger where the leggings didn’t meet. It wasn’t long before he was shaking from head to toe, and my sister Audrey said she was pretty sure he would have pneumonia by the time recess was over. Fortunately, Miss Crosby let him back into the school before she rang the bell. As luck would have it, Father had to go to Briscoe’s General Store that

afternoon, and he came around by the school and we all climbed onto the sleigh for the ride home. Emerson was saved from walking home in the snow with almost-bare legs. When we got home and Emerson took off the leggings, and the marks up his legs from the tight laces looked like railroad ties. Nothing was wasted in those Depression days, and Mother wrapped them in tissue paper, put them in the upstairs trunk, and announced she was sure she could find a use for them some day. Emerson was going to have to think of some other way to impress the kids at the Northcote School.

Community - The first euchre challenge is in the books with the Arnprior Legion drawing first blood with 105 wins to the Arnprior Knights of Columbus 84. In all, 86 players showed up at the Arnprior Legion last Friday for the challenge opener. Casualties (Skunks) included (Legion) Wayne Obrien/Becky Chaput along with Knights (Barkley Rourke/ Gerald Stanton, Randy/Tracey Kubisheski, Dave/Sue Fridgen and with two Doreen Nicholas/Shirley Valiquette. The Knight team of Glenn Jamieson/ Barbara Glasgow had a slow start due to Glasgow taking a senior moment (getting ‘forced rest’ caused her to sleep in and miss the start of the challenge). Winning team for the night was the Knights duo of John Wagner and Lawrence Mask with a perfect 9-0 record. The next euchre night in the series is set for Friday, Jan. 23 at the St. John Chrysostom parish hall. Registration begins at 6:30 p.m. and competition starts at 7. Everybody is welcome.

Participants set agenda at Edcamp Renfrew County News – Edcamp is back in Renfrew County. On this Saturday, Jan. 17, teachers, education assistants, early childhood educators, administrators, parents and the greater Renfrew County community are invited to take part in a professional development opportunity where the participant sets the agenda. 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. Those 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 the community to learn from each other,” Edcamp founder Kristen Swanson said. “They give everyone a voice and a forum to explore new ideas and strategies.” The first Edcamp was held in Philadephia in 2010. Since then the concept has grown exponentially and are held all over the world. This will be the second annual Ed-

camp in Renfrew County. At an Edcamp, there are no formal keynote speakers. The agenda is created on the day of the event by participants. Depending on participants, sessions might include topics such as iOS (iPad) Apps for Education, using Google, Growth Mindset, documentation, assessment, project-based learning or anything specific to education. “Edcamps have provided me with a different form of professional development,” said RCDSB information and communitation technology coach Samantha Noack who was a participant and organizer of last year’s event.

“It is a time to share ideas, ask questions and learn from others. Edcamps bring together different voices such as teachers, support staff, principals and parents.” Participants follow the ‘law of two feet’. If a session is not meeting an individual’s needs, participants are encouraged to move between rooms. This year’s Edcamp Renfrew County will be held at Champlain Discovery Public School (390 Bell St., Pembroke) and runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. To register online for Edcamp, visit this website address: http://bit. ly/1xVg9uc. You can follow information on Edcamp as it breaks on Twitter at @EdCampRC.

If you are unable to register at this time please contact the school principal and make arrangements for a mutually convenient time to register. If you do not know your child’s designated school, please call your local Catholic school. Documents required to register your child ÿ Proof of Age, Proof of Residence, Certificate of Immunization (Health Unit) Child’s Individual Health Card, Baptismal Certificate and Birth Certificate.

Two Rivers youth production promises hatfuls of fun

Community - To celebrate the program’s fifth anniversary, Two Rivers Musical Productions will showcase the talents of young performers in a zany magical presentation of Seussical the Musical, written by Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Presenting a full cast of performers 18 years and younger, this abridged version of the Broadway hit musical is sure to charm audiences young and old. Written in the iconic style of Dr. Seuss, the musical extravaganza follows the fortunes of Horton the Elephant. The lovable, ever faithful pachyderm struggles to protect his kindred spirit, Jojo, and the tiny Whos from extinction while guarding the abandoned egg of Layzie Mayzie. With the Cat in the Hat as our mischievous emcee, we journey with a host of unforgettable characters from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurcus, singing and dancing all the way. In his directorial debut, Myles Sabourin joins musical director Lisa Webber in the exciting challenge of selecting, training and preparing the young cast for final performances on May 27, 28 and 29, with a matinee on May 30. As a school principal and voice teacher respectively, Sabourin and Webber bring

remember a community or school production that awakened the magic of live performance” he says. “Two Rivers Musical Productions is committed to offering that life-changing experience to as many young people as possible.” With young performers taking centre stage, this is a wonderful opportunity for adult members to discover their hidden talents. As with all productions, the cast relies on dedicated backstage teams for set design and construction, costume development, hair and make-up, publicity, stage management … the list goes on.

Cold weather tips for your pet Pet Talk

IAN STUPP under a dog house. If your pet sleeps in the garage, be on the alert for any antifreeze leakage or antifreeze containers left out where they could spill or be chewed on. Thirsty and curious pets will lap up antifreeze. Just a few licks can be fatal. Lock up antifreeze containers and clean up spills immediately. Pets are not able to get enough water from licking ice or eating snow. A heated dish is an essential tool for cold cli-

mates. The water stays cold, but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t freeze. Most of the electrical cords on these types of bowls are protected with a wire spiral wrap. Not recommended for dogs that chew. Outdoor pets require additional food for energy and maintaining body heat in harsh climates. Dogs walking in snowy areas may get large ice balls between their pads, causing the dog to limp. Be sure to keep ice clear from this area. For dogs that have a lot of hair between the pads, keeping it clipped shorter will help with ice ball formation. Dog boots offer protection to those dogs that will tolerate wearing them. Salt, sand and chemical deicers can lead to dry, chapped, and potentially painful paws. This will encourage the pet to lick their paws, and ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation and upset. Wash off your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet after a walk with a warm wet washcloth cloth.

Frozen rivers, lakes and ponds! Animals donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize what â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thin iceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is. Once they fall in, it is very difficult for them to climb out and hypothermia is a very real and life-threatening danger. Most deaths occur when a rescue is attempted, killing both the dog and the rescuer. Cats will seek warmth where they can get it and that may be the warmth of an engine. Before starting your car, knock on the hood or honk the horn to scare off any cats. Another danger is the clothes dryers. Always check to make sure your cat hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sneaked in that cozy warm space inside the dryer. The rule of thumb, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too cold for you to go outside than it is most likely too cold for your pet. 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.

R0023070948/0115

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; All pets need adequate shelter from the elements and insulation against cold weather. Pets should not be left outside for long periods in freezing weather. Like humans, they can suffer from hypothermia and frostbite. The young and the senior pets are especially at risk and those with arthritis are prone to more discomfort in cold and damp environments. Certain breeds, such as Huskies and Samoyeds, are better suited to very cold weather. However, indoor accommodations are best during extreme cold temperatures. If that is not possible, then set up a suitable house in an area protected from wind, rain and snow. Insulation, such as straw, will help keep in body heat. Do not use a heat lamp, space heater or other device not approved for use with animals. This is a burn and/or fire hazard for your pet. Pet stores sell heated mats for pets to sleep on or to be placed

Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will eventually affect how a person thinks, feels, acts, and reacts to the environment. Symptoms will gradually increase and become more persistent. Although there is no known cure, growing research indicates that eating well and staying physically and mentally active can help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's.
