News – McNab-Braeside Coun. Aldene Styles is looking to move up to mayor for the next term of township council. Styles announced Jan. 9 that she will seek the mayor’s position in the Oct. 27 municipal election. Incumbent mayor Mary Campbell said she will announce whether she will run again by the end of January. Styles served as township councillor for the 2003-06 term of council before losing the deputy mayor race to Elmer Raycroft. In 2010, she was re-elected to council. The 68-year-old retired nurse is a mother of three, grandmother of seven and has two great grandchildren. Her husband Glenn Styles is a

former McNab-Braeside fire chief. Styles said her experience on council makes her an ideal candidate for the mayor’s position. “In that length of time, I’ve served under two different mayors and on all the major committees,” she said. “I guess you could say I’ve been around the block.” The next term of council is going to be particularly challenging, said Styles. Increasing costs related to policing and the ongoing issue of recreation services will continue to be in the forefront. Change at the top is strongly needed to get the municipality ready for the challenges ahead, she said. “I strongly feel a different style of leadership is required,” said Styles. LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Recreation rebate rebuffed Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – Residents of McNabBraeside facing increased recreation fees for services in Arnprior and Renfrew have once again been left hanging. In another attempt to improve the situation for residents facing increased recreation fees due to council’s decision to end shared services agreements with its neighbours, Coun. Brad McIlquham reintroduced a motion to provide rebates to youth and seniors who have to pay out-of-

town rates for use of programs and facilities. In a motion similar to one put forth by Coun. Aldene Styles at the Dec. 17 meeting, he called for the reimbursement of up to $150 per individual upon proof of payment. Those 0-18 and over 60 years of age would qualify, he suggested. Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie said council is obligated to ensure the money is there to cover each of the residents who qualify for the rebate, an amount that would make for a considerable line in the budget.

NEWS Continued from front

Recreation and library services have been top of mind for council and residents after the township opted to end shared agreements with the towns of Arnprior and Renfrew effective Jan. 1. “There’s no doubt it’s going to be an election issue,� Styles said. “It certainly is one of the first things I imagine that would have to be addressed. People will be expecting that. They want resolution.� The municipalities were able to establish an agreement in the past and she’s hoping that can happen again. “We seem to be at a standstill,� said Styles, who originally voted to end the agreements but has since attempted unsuccessfully to revisit the issue or provide rebates for recreation. “You have to have willing partners at the table at both sides that want to negotiate,� she said. “I’m hoping, should I be elected, that we can have a group that are willing to do exactly that.� Among the other key issues for the next council will be the establishment of a new municipal office to meet accessibility standards, and Styles said it would be nice to see the plans include a community centre attached to the offices. Should she be elected, she will focus on following due process, including education sessions and clarification on council and staff’s role in municipal processes. “It is so important people fully understand what each other’s role is,� said Styles. “It would cut down a lot of unnecessary work and avoid running around putting out fires.� Styles moved to the township from nearby Lochwinnoch in 1973. “I think it’s always been what I would consider a familybased community,� she said. “In earlier years, it was made up of a lot of farmers. Glen and I were both raised on farms and all that is very familiar to us.� A country lifestyle is what often attracts newcomers. “Even with the people moving, in I think it’s the rural flavour of life that’s appealing,� said Styles.

Bray likely to run again News – Local Renfrew County Catholic School Board Trustee Andy Bray still enjoys his school board duties, so will likely run again in the Oct. 27 election. While he hasn’t completely made up his mind, Bray said after 30 years as trustee, he still “enjoys what I do (as school trustee).” He represents Arnprior, McNabBraeside and Greater Madawaska on the Catholic school board. He also represents this area a director of the Ontario Catholic School Association, a position he’s held for six years. He has served on several association committees and has just been appointed to another ad-hoc committee. But mostly he enjoys visiting schools and representing their parents, students and staff on the board, he says.

Glenn Miller of Arnprior has filed his papers to run for Arnprior-McNab-Braeside trustee on the Renfrew County public school board

News – With five children and 10 grandchildren, Glenn Miller has a big stake in ensuring the education system is the best it can be. So the Arnprior resident has decided to run for the Arnprior-McNab-Braeside trustee position on the Renfrew County District School Board. He became the first to file his candidate papers in Arnprior last week. Miller said he has the time to serve his community now his son Andrew has taken over the running of the pair’s disc jockey business. He said he considered running for town council, but decided that it made more sense to be a “strong voice” for this area on the public school board. Cutbacks in education seem to affect the south end of the county more than the Pembroke area, he added, saying it’s a reason continued strong representation is needed for Arnprior and McNab-Braeside. Miller said he is concerned about the bullying issue, but is worried that schools go overboard sometimes. The education system shouldn’t have to deal with problems that occur in the community and not the schools, he said. He said he is a fan of the good job done by current trustee Norm Hazelwood and has discussed education issues with him. His candidacy is not a criticism of Hazelwood’s performance, but if he runs

again, it’s good to have competition to get the issues discussed by the public, said Miller. Miller was raised in Arnprior and returned to town from Ottawa because it’s a pleasant and safe town in which to live, he said. He is well-known for his disc jockey business with his companies Ottawa Valley DJs and Miller Entertainment Services. He won a major award last year for his work in the industry and key role in the founding of Canadian Online Disc Jockey Association. He became a licensed wedding officiant with All Seasons Weddings last summer. He is also an executive member of the Arnprior Legion. He says he enjoys consulting with constituents and welcomes comments and concerns on Facebook. NORM HAZELWOOD

Veteran Arnprior-McNab-Braeside public school trustee Norm Hazelwood says he will consider retiring from the board if the new Petawawa school he is overseeing is completed in time for the new school year. Hazelwood said he will know better whether he’ll run again this week after a tour of the school, which is expected to be ready by July 1. If it’s ready for school Sept. 1, “then my job will be done,” he said. Hazelwood has had a long history of community service, being a councillor, reeve and school trustee for most of the past 20-plus years.

New way to clear sidewalks main focus of complaints John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

News – A survey asking Arnprior residents’ views of the town’s new winter maintenance pilot project is attracting a great deal of attention. Early results indicate the changes are getting mixed reviews, with many complaints about impassable sidewalks. To help town staff and council evaluate the changes and gauge resident satisfaction, a survey asking for public input has been made available at town hall and on the Arnprior website. Council and staff will scrutinize the survey results this week with the idea of making any “necessary changesâ€? to improve the program for the remainder of the winter season. Early feedback was mixed, some in favour and some opposed to the pilot program. Unfortunately, the cold, snowy weather hasn’t helped in the evaluation process as it has made ploughing and snow removal more difďŹ cult than normal. The survey asks residents’ opinion of the town’s winter road and sidewalk maintenance in previous years and how it compares to maintenance so far this year under the new pilot project, Council approved the pilot project last spring with an eye to improving winter maintenance efďŹ ciency and saving taxpayers’ money.

A key change is the use of sidewalk blowers, instead of ploughs, to remove the snow from the sidewalks and deposit it on boulevards, with the exception of sidewalks in the downtown core. As well, the pilot program signiďŹ cantly decreased the removal of snow from town streets and has snow cleared from ďŹ re hydrants placed on boulevards. The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide posted a link to the survey on its Facebook page and received close to 20 comments, mainly complaints about the state of the sidewalks in town. Concern was expressed that in some places people had to walk on the streets, putting themselves in danger of being hit by vehicles. Among the comments: “It sucks if you’re a pedestrian ... took three weeks after last major snowfall to get sidewalks cleared ‌ not safe to be walking out on the road ‌ bad for the elderly, bad for the disabled ‌ it was dangerous to walk and when I was driving it was dangerous to have people walking on the roads when driving conditions were so poor ‌ between navigating between the school buses and cars on the streets, it’s pretty dangerous for my kids who walk to Walter Zadow and Arnprior District High School ‌ access to downtown shops is near impossible for those who are unable to climb over snowbanks created on the edge of the sidewalk/street parking ‌ even when merchants shovel pathways, accessibility is hindered by drivers who block them ‌ the

sidewalks have been awful. For people without vehicles, simple things such as groceries and taking your kids to school becomes dangerous ‌. our sidewalks are impassible and have been cleared only once this winter, and don’t get me started on the size of the snowbanks at the end of my driveway ‌ any savings could be erased by a lawsuit from a fall, etc. ‌ Arnprior’s new money-saving plan - do every second street? ‌ It will come to someone to get hurt really bad for the town to wake up ‌ Remember the good old days when the snow was not only all plowed from the streets, sidewalks, but it was R0011949756/0307

News – Arnprior council will consider reducing the number of votes needed to ensure the survival of Arnprior’s downtown Business Improvement Association (BIA). The fate of the organization was to be decided at a Jan. 6 meeting, but inclement weather may have been a factor in attendance. About 23 people did make it to the meeting. Mayor David Reid, who along with marketing and economic development ofďŹ cer Lindsay Wilson, canvassed downtown business owners to give notice of the meeting, said it became apparent during the process that the number should be reduced. “In order to give the BIA reasonable representation to decide whether they wanted to continue, I felt 50 was too much,â€? Reid told council. Situations where multiple storefronts and tenants are controlled by one individual or company contributed to Reid’s thinking that the number should be reduced. “When you start thinking about the actual numbers, 50, in my

mind is not achievable,â€? said Reid. Reeve Walter Stack said the attendance at the Jan. 6 meeting, despite the weather, is encouraging. “The BIA is important to the town,â€? said Stack, who said when he was ďŹ rst on council he was pleased to have been involved in a number of BIA-led activities. “I’m certainly willing to work with 25 people rather than three,â€? he said. “I think there’s a chance they can do something constructive down there.â€? Council will consider a motion to reduce the number to 25 at the next Arnprior council meeting on Jan. 27.

than 1,300 individuals on the waiting list for a doctor. The goal for this year is to recruit two new doctors. The breakdown of the budget is: physician incentives and support $80,000, locum experience and remuneration $18,000, physician recruitment co-ordinator $23,500, recruitment fairs and medical student luncheons, $4,000, advertising and marketing $3,000, and $1,500 in a contingency fund. Hanna thanked council for its previous support and Mayor Mary Campbell for attending medical student luncheons hosted by the committee. He said local efforts are similar to what other communities are doing. “A year ago we knew a little bit about what other areas were doing. We did it and now we’ve got a physician,� he said. “The competition is still stiff out there,� he added. “I think we now know the plan of what’s required to recruit physicians.� Council will consider the request during upcoming budget deliberations.

News – Arnprior Regional Health CAO Eric Hanna and physician recruitment co-ordinator Lindsay Ziebarth visited McNab-Braeside council last week to update members on physician recruitment efforts. The committee has asked McNab-Braeside for $25,000 to make up part of the proposed $130,000 budget for 2014. A similar presentation and request has been made to the Town of Arnprior and upcoming appeals will be made to West Carleton, Mississippi Mills, the Arnprior Family Health Organization and Family Health Team, local businesses and community members. “We really are in an urgent need for family physicians in the area,� said Ziebarth. Ideal candidates are those interested in a comprehensive position that includes a full-time general practice of about 900 patients, including those in hospital or a nursing home. These doctors are basically

to the area’s attractiveness. “We’re seeing a lot of new grads want that family health team,� she said. Important milestones for 2013 include the creation of the part-time physician recruitment role and a successful three-week locum residency that netted the team its newest doctor, Dr. Mohammed Nejad, who is expected to move to the area soon with his family from Goose Bay, Labrador. “We really treated this as an interview process,� said Ziebarth. The process cost about $16,500, which included travel, accommodations, car rental and payment for his work. “It was quite a lot of logistics to work out for that three-week term, but it was well worth the efforts,� she said. There is an immediate need for new recruits in the area. “All of our existing family practices are considered full,� said Ziebarth. “They’re not actively rostering.� This doesn’t mean they don’t pick up the odd new patient, but there is not room for the more

Council cannot forget those who took the time to fill out a council-issued survey on recreation – the majority of whom said they didn’t use or support funding the services. “We seem to have lost them in all this, just because we have a group who is standing and hollering at us, she said. Of McNabBraeside’s 7,600 residents, 1,709 are youth and 1,211 are seniors. In the end, the motion was defeated, with Blimkie, Mayor Mary Campbell and Coun. Bob Campbell voting against it. “We’re going to leave our people hanging again,� said Mayor Campbell. She said she would have supported the motion had it included all residents, not just those participating in programs in Arnprior and Renfrew. “If you modififed the motion so it supports all, I would support it,� she said. “In healthy communities we’re supposed to be creating healthy communities for everybody. With this we’re supporting programs that are already not affordable to a large portion of our residents. We have to find some way of spending equal amounts for everyone in those age groups.� Equity is key, she said. “Four-hundred-and-fifty dollars to put a six-year-old through hockey is not affordable for - especially if you’ve got three or four of them at home,� she said. The township needs to support everyone – by providing its own programs and facilities and perhaps subsidizing other activities like golf or skiing. She suggested perhaps a separate pool of funds could be created for people in the age groups covered by the potential reimbursement. Following the vote, township CAO Noreen Mellema cautioned council that once a motion is brought forth unsuccessfully it cannot be brought back to the table. “When a motion is defeated it can’t come back - unless it’s totally different - for 12 months. You can’t keep bringing the same motion back and defeating it,� said Mellema.

News – Personal support workers employed by the Red Cross and its health care partners have a new contract. The workers, including a number in Renfrew County, held a two-week strike last month before agreeing to send the dispute to arbitration. “I’m happy to report that on Jan. 8, a neutral arbitrator issued a new contract for our PSWs working out of Red Cross,� said Sharleen Stewart, president of SEIU Healthcare, the union representing the 4,500 caregivers who were briefly on strike. “It is an improvement over the previous tentative agreement and proves that when we stand together, we can put pressure on employers and government for change,� she added. Arbitration is normally reserved for essential service workers but was used in this case to help resolve the strike on its second week just before the holidays. The contract is binding for the workers and their the employer..

“I was blown away by the passion and dedication of these women and men who stood up for their rights after rejecting a contract that didn’t do them or their services justice,� said Stewart. In a news release, SEIU Healthcare said it will continue its campaign to “fix the home care system.� It says it intends to work with government to mandate substantial improvements in recruiting and retaining homecare PSWs. “To do this the government must recognize the value of this critical work by providing homecare PSWs the same wages, benefits, and compensation for all hours worked just like their counterparts in hospitals and nursing homes.� Meanwhile, home support workers employed by ParaMed Health Care in Renfrew County held a strike vote Tuesday in an effort to pressure the company to come to an agreement on a new contract to replace the one that expired more than a year ago.

News – Four Arnprior council members will run again in this year’s municipal election, while one will not. Coun. Dan Lynch said he would be filing his candidate papers Tuesday to run for a second term as councillor. Reeve Walter Stack and councillors Ted Strike and Lynn Grinstead all say they will be candidates in the Oct. 27 election. However, with Mayor David Reid saying he won’t make up his mind until March whether he will run again, they are keeping their options open as to what positions they will contest. Veteran Coun. Mark Willmer will not be running in the fall election. “I’ve had a long run at it and I’ve enjoyed it very much,” he said Monday.

“I’ve had my interests become different. I’m celebrating moving into a different area.” Coun. Lyle Anderson said it is too soon to decide yet whether he will run for a second term. “It’s no big secret I’m running again,” said Stack, noting he is enjoying his involvement on town and county councils. He said it has been a pleasure working with the “excellent group” that makes up the current town council. It’s a productive, progressive council, he said. Grinstead said she will run again, but won’t officially file until later this year. With 25 years as a town employee and 10 years as a town reeve and councillor under his belt, Strike says he wants to continue to use that expertise on council. However, he’s keeping his options open for now too, he says.

EDITORIAL

Pay attention, the municipal election campaigns have begun It wasn’t so long ago municipal campaigns didn’t start until a month or two before election day. However, the province, in its wisdom, decided in 1996 to unleash the nomination process at the beginning of an election year. So now campaigning can start in January and go on for 10 months. Of course, in the supposedly good old days while the official campaigns began much later, in reality political pontificating was evident just as early as it is now. Many municipal candidates still wait well into the year before officially announcing their intentions. However, as people get used to the early start to nominations, more can-

didates are not waiting long to take the plunge. That’s the case in McNabBraeside, where Coun. Aldene Styles filed to run for mayor a mere week after nominations opened. Incumbent mayor Mary Campbell has indicated she will make it official she is running again by the end of the month. That gives McNab-Braeside residents plenty of time to scrutinize both candidates in the lead-up to what will be a pivotal election for the township. In Arnprior, it appears at least four and perhaps five of the seven incumbents will run again. The intrigue at the moment revolves around what Mayor David Reid will do. The mayor has indicat-

ed he will make his intentions known in March. That means council members Walter Stack, Ted Strike and Lynn Grinstead, who all intend to run again, will bide their time before deciding on which office they will seek. If Reid does run again, don’t expect much of a change on council. But if he doesn’t, then all bets are off. As for our often-ignored but ohso-important education system, it appears likely voters will be given the chance to vote for a new face for the public board, while a veteran trustee will be running again for the Catholic board. If the electorate of Arnprior and

McNab-Braeside do indeed know, for the most part, who their candidates will be by spring’s arrival, then they have no excuse not to be become informed voters. They will have plenty of opportunities to judge the incumbents as they deal with the many economic and social challenges facing councils and school boards this year. With the early nominations, they will have time to get to know any newcomers in the races and determine if they have the right stuff. The extension of the municipal and school board terms of office from three to four years a decade ago makes it even more important that the electorate makes wise choices when

they decide who will be guiding our municipalities and school system through the perilous times ahead. There’s too much at stake for voters not to educate themselves on the abilities and policies of their candidates. It’s said people usually get the government they deserve. Arnprior and McNab-Braeside are vibrant, scenic communities bursting with potential. They deserve leaders who can ensure that potential is realized. There is a much better chance this area will be blessed with strong, effective leadership if an alert, interested electorate pays attention to the candidates between now and Oct. 27.

Dynamic candidates needed To the Editor: Re: Town of Arnprior needs more councillors with vision (letter, Chronicle-Guide, Jan 9). I was so hopeful in 2010 that our new town council would walk the talk. We replaced our Mayor and 80 per cent of council with the highest voter turnout in Ontario. I have to agree with Thomas Charbonneau that this council, like the previous ones, are just talking the talk. Sometimes not even talking at all. Outsider fees, the 50 per cent penalty as described by Paul Miller, and doubling our new development surcharges as mentioned by Thomas Charbonneau are sending the wrong message from our town council. We must promote Arnprior and welcome all of our neighbours, investors and visitors. Our previous council chased away millions of dollars in investments and much needed jobs for Arnprior. Arnprior residents are voting with their feet and shopping elsewhere at the big box stores. We continue to bleed 1.5 million every week by spending it outside of town. Council’s new policies are chasing away our neighbours and new investment dollars. Paul Miller and many others like him are just the tip of the iceberg. Our current council are still spending like a drunken sailor and still want

more tax dollars. I do not comprehend how our current council does not see the negative impact their new policies are creating. If I am unable to change any of their minds with reason, then I have to seriously consider getting my voice heard on the next council. Mr. Charbonneau is not the only person urging me to run in this October’s municipal election as a councillor. I do not have to be mayor to bring new jobs and big box stores to Arnprior. I can no longer support even one person on council. I did have high hopes for many of them, but I am left feeling the same was as Mr. Miller, Mr. Charbonneau and even Mr. Campanale (no one on council is really listening). I have asked one person to run for mayor of Arnprior and another woman to run for council. I hope that more people with vision do come forward this election. We need dynamic people with vision and hungry for change. Arnprior is a diamond in the rough and deserves better. The status-quo does not cut it any longer. If these dynamic people come forward to create a new team, I hope the voters of Arnprior will embrace this new change. Doug Smith Arnprior ting there.

People welcome to help with department of peace initiative To the Editor: I have lived here for a few years and have come to enjoy the groundedness of community and new friends. One of the ambitions I have brought with me is to be able to explore and challenge myself, with the support of others, to understand what it means to live peacefully. This is a big and important question as our world becomes more vulnerable each day to changes, natural and those imposed by our insatiable humanity. Arnprior has offered encouragement and support to this ambition and many people have identified themselves as sharing this goal. As we start into a new year, I want to thank Arnprior Chronicle-Guide for its ongoing support by publishing articles and letters to the editors. I want to thank Sherry Haaima for the wonderful piece she did in December announcing the formation of a Canadian Peace Initiative Chapter in Arnprior and area. I want to thank the Galilee Centre for their spiritual and practical support in making peace a topic of note through creation of a Peace Pole, its many programs to support peace, the Peace Walk fundraiser and the board’s ongoing attention to the question how to bring peace into every prayer and discussion. As another year unfolds, one of my resolutions is to bring more focused attention to the topics of peace to the Valley. How successful I

am in this depends on how much others participate in the discussion. The topics are endless. Do we know what it means and how it feels to live at peace? What challenges this peace we know? If we lived a culture of peace, how would we be in family, work, how would we deal with crime and violent political conflict? How do we engage Love as a political tool? There are no simple answers, but there are people around the world who are finding possibilities and living it, including in the Valley. A group of people have committed to pursuing the goals of the Canadian Peace Initiative and campaign for a Department of Peace in Canada. Our next meeting date is Jan. 30, 6:30 p.m. at 46 Elgin St. East. The priority of the meetings will be whatever is important to those who gather. I would like it to be a group to support the formation of a department of peace and a forum to talk about situations that are not peaceful to each person and answer the question how can we bring peace to this? The group will never be closed and challenging voices are welcome. I would make a correction on the phone contact from the newspaper article. It is 613-8975055.

Great big thank you for dinner help To the Editor: The organizers of the fifth annual Community Christmas Dinner would like to send out many thanks to the businesses and individuals that helped with this year’s dinner. There were many donations in many forms: monetary, food, Christmas baking, supplies and time. Anybody who helped in any way, this thank you is for you. The dinner was used by

quite a few more people this year than in the past. There was an approximate total of 135 people fed this year. The leftover cooked food is immediately taken to the Men’s Mission in Ottawa right after the dinner and they are happy to accept it. This year we had an additional gift to take to the mission. Anne Hepburn knitted all year and we took 60 pair of

men’s mitts as well as the food. A special thank you to Seniors at Home and the people who drove deliveries to people who were unable to leave their homes due to health reasons. This made for a much more pleasant Christmas for so many people. Thank you very much. And a Happy New Year to all of you! Tracey Climo Arnprior

The Owl that thinks it’s a hawk is visiting the area this winter Lifestyle - When we think of owls, apart from the dayactive Snowy Owls visiting us this winter, we think of them as night-active birds. And most are, peering into the dark with oversized, light-

sensitive eyes, and listening with huge, dish-like faces that capture and funnel near-inaudible sounds towards their hidden ears. All our resident owls such as Great Horned and Barred

owls are primarily nocturnal, but occasionally semi-diurnal owls from the boreal forest visit us in winter. A few winters ago, Great Gray Owls appeared in impressive numbers, with a pair

staying to nest near Fitzroy Harbour. While they will hunt at night, Great Grays are most active late in the afternoon (a time when the smaller and occasionally resident Shorteared Owls also hunt). However, on cloudy days or when food is scarce, Great Grays will hunt in daytime. Another boreal-dwelling owl makes irregular sojourns into our area. Earlier this winter, Northern Hawk Owls were spotted near Arnprior, Constance Bay, and Pakenham. I had the good fortune last week of encountering one near Carleton Place on Highway 7. But Hawk Owls hunt only in daytime and are considerably smaller than Great Grays or Snowies. They sport longer tails and wings that are much more pointed than other owls. Perched atop a tree, a Hawk Owl looks much more like a hawk than it does an owl. Just as Great Gray and Snowy owls are, Northern Hawk Owls are irruptive. That means they occur south of their northern breeding range irregularly, but when they do, it is often in large numbers. While never as common as other irruptive species, several occasionally spend the winter in our area. The first time I recall seeing one locally was in 1976. But in 1981 there was another irruption and in that year as many as five different Hawk Owls could be seen in

Northern Hawk Owls from the boreal forest are visiting us this winter. one day between Stewartville, Arnprior, and Fitzroy Harbour. This year there are likely that many present even though none were encountered on the Boxing Day Bird Count. Unlike most owls, Hawk Owls are easy to see for they perch on treetops, especially tall pike poles, in relatively open areas. From their elevated perches they scan in all directions, listening for the tell-tale scratching of voles or mice under the snow. As do other owls, their heads can turn 270 degrees, an important feature because their eyes are placed on the front of a face flattened to capture sound. Oddly, Hawk Owls lack asymmetry in their ear openings, a feature that enhances the ability of nocturnal owls to pinpoint the source of a

sound. Despite this, they have excellent hearing. Most owls sport broad, rounded wings equipped with soft-edged feathers for silent flight. Hawk Owls, however, have pointed, hard-feathered wings that provide speed and manoeuvrability. When perched, a Hawk Owl looks not unlike a Kestrel or a Merlin, except its head is larger and broader than that of either falcon. But when one looks over its back and glares at you with penetrating owl eyes, a Hawk Owl leaves no doubt as to which avian group its alliance truly belongs!

High numbers recorded in 114th CP Christmas bird count Iain Wilkes

Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists

SUSAN WILKES/SUBMITTED

A Goldfinch Christmas Wreath: this Goldfinch seemed to be waving from its feeder perch.

Lifestyle - On Dec. 27, local birders took part in the Audubon Society’s 114th Christmas Bird Count (CBC), supported in Canada by Bird Studies Canada. The Carleton Place Christmas Bird Count is one of two local counts (including the Lanark Highlands) organized by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists each year as part of their ongoing conservation efforts. The Audubon CBC is comprised of over 2,300 defined

areas across North America, where, each year, thousands of citizen scientists volunteer their time to record every bird seen or heard within a defined area on a specific day between Dec. 16 and Jan. 5. This year 28 volunteers took to the field, combined with 25 observers at feeders, to conduct the annual Carleton Place count. Over 5,200 individual birds were recorded during a day that was cloudy with sunny breaks. This was close to the average number of birds seen during the Carleton Place CBC since it began, in 1951. There were 44 species of

birds recorded, and while this is not a record it is one of the higher species counts for this area. Highlights for this year were the multiple sightings of Snowy Owls, which are appearing in eastern Canada and northeastern U.S. in large number this year. As well 371 Turkeys, 445 Blue Jays, 10 Red-tailed Hawks, 26 Robins and one Brown-headed Cowbird were sighted. Notably absent were Bohemian Waxwings, Evening Grosbeaks and Crossbills, which when combined with very low numbers of Redpolls, Pine Sis-

kins and Pine Grosbeaks resulted in a lower overall count than would be expected. The count organizer and compiler for the count was Iain Wilkes. Many thanks go to all of the volunteers who make this important conservation effort successful, and to members of the MVFN social committee who organized food and refreshments in the community room for the end of the day when the tired field volunteers arrived back from touring to have their data recorded and trade stories of their day.

ADHS graduate hits the road in support of African children Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Community – One bicycle, 10 countries, 120 days. Arnprior District High School graduate Jennilea Hortop is no stranger to humanitarian efforts or travelling, but she’s recently embarked on the biggest trip of her life. Hortop is joining 50 other riders from around the world, travelling 12,000 kilometres from the north to the south of Africa as part of Tour D’Afrique, which is raising funds for a cause near and dear to her heart – the Peace by Piece initiative. The organization supports Peace Matunda Orphanage and School, a place with which Hortop is very familiar. “I first came to know Peace Matunda in June 2009 when my friend, Sarah Patriquin, and sister, Kayleigh Hortop, headed to Arusha to meet 21 young Tanzanian children. We immediately fell deeply in love with

the children who lived and attended school at Peace Matunda. Living for six weeks in the foothills of Mount Meru, was a life-changing experience and I knew that I would be back to this magical place,” said Hortop in an email interview with the Chronicle-Guide. For the past four years, Hortop has been working at an international school in Bangkok Thailand, helping to organize several fundraisers for the orphanage. The projects have provided funds to build a school house, support a lunch program and sponsor some children, she reports. Just before setting out from Khartoum, Sudan, Hortop said she had goosebumps of excitement. Preparation began last year. “In terms of training, I have completed a few other bike tours. I went mountain biking through the Mongolia Khangai Mountain range. Thereafter, I went biking from Lasha Tibet to Nepal Katmandu.

“Both of these tours were supported, which means I did not carry my own gear while biking and meals were provided. It is your responsibility to get yourself from the campsite in the morning to the campsite at night. “Going into this tour, I know it will be both a mental and physical challenge. One of the main reasons I decided to do the Tour A’ Afrique is to push myself beyond my limits,” said Hortop. She’s thrilled to be supporting Peace Matunda. “After four years of watching the small children of Peace Matunda grow up, they are ready for the next step in their lives; secondary school. In collaboration with Peace by Piece, I plan to help provide the children of Peace Matunda with a secondary school education,” said Hortop. “The caring, loving, inspirational children at Peace Matunda are a huge influence on who I have become as a woman. These kids love life more

than most children I have met, yet in our standards of living they are underprivileged,” she said. “Despite many kids not having parents who can care for them, or a close family - as many kids in Arnprior do - they are happy. All children in Tanzania have to pay to go to high school. Without the support of external donations, these kids would not have an opportunity to go to high school. “As a teacher, I feel access to education is the best way to help children create a good future for themselves and their community. In my opinion many children at Peace Matunda have huge potential to be community leaders and with a high school degree more doors are opened for them.” FUNDRAISING GOAL

Hortops’s goal is to raise $1 U.S. for each kilometre she bikes through Africa to help sponsor the children to have a secondary education.

She encourages anyone interested to help support the efforts. “On the Peace by Piece donor page there are many options for how you can donate to Peace Matunda, specifically there are links that say ‘Donate for education’. Please select the amount you would like to help to provide these beautiful kids an education.” Hortop will also be blogging about her journey on the Peace by Piece Facebook page. Fundraising is going well so far, she said. “We are just starting to get the message out to my friends and family via Facebook, but many people have started to make donations. About 1,000 kilometres have been sponsored so far,” she said. Hortop’s father Frank, who lives in Arnprior, is proud of his daughter. “She’s just that type of person,” he said. “She’s not just one to sit back. She’s a positive thinker and she wants to do some good in the world.” R0032465477

tive to expand rural broadband throughout the region. Created by the wardens’ caucus, the project is supported by federal, provincial, and municipal funding, and private sector investment. “EORN is a key economic development tool for the region and we are pleased to extend the reach of the network to these important business hubs,” said EOWC chair Rick Philips. “This investment by EORN in the six business communities in Renfrew County recognizes the continued importance of broadband as a necessary business tool and the commitment of our council to ensure our businesses and communities can enjoy the same access to markets, services and opportunities as other parts of our country,” said County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon. “Thanks to prudent financial management and project oversight, we are able to deliv-

er this added value to business parks as part of the EORN initiative,” said EORN chair David Burton. “We expect to complete construction of the business parks by 2014.” “Gaining access to the Broadband Network is a great tool for local business and industry,” said Renfrew County’s EORN representative Bob Sweet. “Greater connectivity in the business parks means that the current businesses can enhance their day-to-day capabilities, and it creates another means of attraction for new businesses.” EORN was established by the wardens’ caucus to manage expansion of the rural broadband network in Eastern Ontario. It includes a 5,500-km fibre optic backbone and more than a dozen local access networks that will increase Internet speeds and services to 95 per cent of the households in the region by the end of 2014.

ports at home. “Norah’s pediatric care co-ordinator helps us deal with daily life and all the appointments we have to make,� said Courtney Miller, Norah’s mother. “She’s also there to help us plan for the special care associated with Down syndrome by connecting our family to services we’ll need now and in the future.� Norah continues to receive oxygen therapy at home while waiting to undergo surgery to repair the hole in her heart in February. She has received care from a registered dietician and an occupational therapist to ensure that her heart and body can grow as much as possible before the life-saving surgery. “After hospital discharge, pediatric care co-ordinators act as a single point of contact for families,� explains Francine O’Grady, a pediatric care coordinator working in Renfrew County. “Parents can feel overwhelmed by all the information they receive. It’s important for them to know they are doing the right thing, from learning how to use medical equipment to exploring community health services.� This means that parents know who to call when they have a question and can instead focus on what’s important spending time with their child. “Everyone is coming to us now, so we don’t have to go out as much for every appointment,� said Norah’s mother.

Police investigating after dog stolen from Arnprior apartment News – Police are investigating the report of a theft of a dog from an Arnprior apartment. A break-in was reported at an apartment on Sullivan Crescent on Jan. 4. The victim complained that someone entered the apartment and stole his dog. There were no signs of forced entry to the residence. The dog is described as a seven-

month-old Labrador/pit bull mix. Anyone with information on this case is asked to call OPP Constable Raul Pasta Junior at 613-623-3131. Included in the 156 calls for service last week were eight domestic dispute calls. One man was charged with unauthorized possession of a weapon and careless use of a weapon. Another man was charged with break and enter and two counts of

assault. A woman was charged with failing to comply with an undertaking and another woman was charged with breach of probation. A man was charged with breach of probation and failing to comply. In another case, a man was charged with two counts of assault. TENANT, LANDLORD

If you are a landlord or tenant hav-

ing a problem, try calling the Landlord Tenant Board not police unless a crime is being committed, advise OPP. In a news release last week, Renfrew OPP point out the board’s role is to provide information on the Residential Tenancies Act and to resolve disputes between landlords and tenants. Its aim is to provide “balanced and timely dispute resolution.”

The OPP notes that tenants and landlords often will contact the police when they feel they are not being treated fairly. However the police’s role is to refer the parties to the Landlord Tenant Board and ensure no crimes are committed, so time can be saved all round by contacting the board directly. Contact the Board at 1-888-3323234 or online at www.ltb.gov.on.ca/ en.

News - The number of fatalities in traffic collisions on Eastern Ontario roads dropped by 23 in 2012 compared to the year previously. The East Region of the OPP report that “with the co-operation of drivers” the fatal crashes were down 27 per cent. Fifty people died in 45 fatal crashes in 2013 compared

to 73 deaths in 62 crashes in 2012. Also down are three of the contributing factors to the fatalities, report OPP. Fatal crashes involving non-use of seatbelts are down by 25 per cent, ejections are down by 50 per cent and alcohol related fatal crashes are down by 20 per cent.

Although the OPP take this as a good sign, “there is room for improvement,” they say. They promise to continue to focus enforcement on distracted, impaired and aggressive drivers. “For those who do drive with care and caution, thank you. For those that do not, we are watching.”

Township offers pucks skills, archery programs in Braeside John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

News – In line with its efforts to provide more affordable recreational activities for its residents, McNab-Braeside has organized a hockey skills development program. As well, the township’s recreation department is offering its popular archery program again starting this week. The new six-week basic hockey instruction and skills development program is aimed at children from 6 to 13. It begins Tuesday, Jan. 21 and runs at the Braeside R.A. Centre from 6-7:30 p.m. The puck skills sessons are being held with help from the Arnprior Packers Junior B Club, with a couple of the team’s players who live in the township helping provide instruction. Participants don’t have to be hockey players but minimal equipment is required. All registrants will receive free Packers tickets and have

a chance to win an NHL Ottawa Senators jersey. The cost of the program is $25 for all six sessions. ARCHERY BACK

Meanwhile, the archery program, which last year attracted a wide variety of ages, from 5 to 70, is back again this year by popular demand, says McNab-Braeside recreation director Geoff Patterson. The classes begins today (Jan. 16), also at the Braeside R.A. Centre, and run until March 20. They will be held each Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. Both experienced and new archers are welcome. Participants can either learn a new skill or polish up their technique, “all while having fun and making new friends,” says Patterson. Archers under the age of 7 needed special permission to attend and have to be signed up by an adult. The cost is $40 for 10 weeks of classes.

While the official deadline for registering for the program was Jan. 13, Patterson welcomes calls at 613-6235756, ext. 226 to see if there are still spots open. For more information on both programs, drop by the township office or visit www. mcnabbraeside.com RINKS OPEN

McNab-Braeside’s three public skating rinks are open with ice conditions described as fair to excellent. The rinks, made possible by the hard work of community volunteers, are located at the Braeside RA Centre, the White Lake Park and McNab Public School. Meanwhile, it’s been announced that the Braeside Winter Carnival will be held Saturday, Feb. 8 and the White Lake Winter Carnival Saturday, Feb. 15. The White Lake festivities were revived last year and organizers are planning an expanded number of activities for all ages.

Juvenile Packers tops in prestigious tournament

Sports – The Arnprior Juvenile Packers played a stellar brand of hockey on the weekend, beating the Lakeshore Jaguars from Montreal 5-2 to win the Gordon Cooper Honorary Tournament in Ottawa. It was a tournament of fast and breath-taking hockey, hosted by the Nepean Minor Hockey Association to honour and recognize the hard work and dedication to minor hockey by Gordon Cooper. Cooper, now in his 90s, is a Second World War RCAF veteran who coached minor

hockey for 47 years, a record that will be very hard to beat. He was on hand to present the trophy to Packers captain Casey Shipman. The Arnprior Juvenile Packers thank their corporate sponsors who made their participation in the tournament possible - McEwan Homes, Sullivan Construction, Rona Arnprior, LA Concrete and Campbell Ford. The Juvenile Packers next home game is Saturday, Jan. 25 at 7:30 p.m. against Stittsville, the division’s numbertwo ranking team.

Sports – It was a tough game for the Packers last Friday night. They worked hard, but the puck just wouldn’t bounce their way. Packers 1 Shawville 5 The red hot Shawville Pontiacs won their fourth game in a row as their hard-working overall game is paying off. Packers captain John McLean scored shorthanded to put Arnprior up 1-0 early in the first period, but then the wheels fell off and Shawville took over. Packers goalie Erik Miksik made 33 saves and also added an assist in the loss. Former Packers forward Liam Poirier paced the Pontiacs with 2 goals and 1 assist in the victory. The Packers lead the season series 3-2, but Shawville leads in total offense out scoring the young Packers 18-16. The two clubs next meet during the Packers season finale Feb. 14 live at the Nick Smith Centre. The Packers next home game was a makeup game Wednesday after press deadline. You

can find the game recap on the Packers website, facebook page, and twitter feed @PriorPackersJrB. This Saturday night (Jan. 18) the Packers play host to the Ottawa Canadians at the Nick Smith Centre as part of the Optimist Winter Carnival. The puck drop is at 8 p.m. PACKER HONOURS

The Packers are pleased to announce that defenceman Corey Chaplin has been named Packers Player of the Month after posting 4 assists and a rating of +2 over the past seven games.

Junior hoopsters win battle of undefeateds, seniors lose first Sports – The Arnprior District High School junior boys basketball team nipped Mackenzie 47-46 Jan. 9 to take over undisputed possession of first place in the Upper Ottawa Valley high school league. Both teams were 4-0 going into the game at ADHS. In senior play, ADHS defeated Mackenzie 57-46. There was two decidedly different results when the teams hosted St. Joseph’s as play resumed after the Christmas break. The junior boys thumped St. Joe’s 46-9, but the seniors suffered their first loss of the season, falling 64-48 to St. Joe’s. ADHS dropped to 3-1, while St. Joe’s improved to 5-0 to keep them in a tie for first with Fellowes. The Raiders and Arnprior Redmen cohost their annual junior and senior boys invitational basketball tournament this Friday and Saturday (Jan. 17 and 18). Games will be played at the RCI, ADHS and St. Joseph’s Catholic High School gymnasiums. VOLLEYBALL

The ADHS girls volleyball teams each won one of three in a mid-season series of games in Pembroke Jan. 9. The seniors beat Jean-Lajoie 3-0, but lost 3-0 to both RCI and Bishop Smith. The Redmen are in the middle of the pack with a 3-3 record. The junior Redmen beat Bishop Smith 31, but were blanked 3-0 by RCI and were edged 3-2 by Jean Lajoie. The juniors are also fighting for a playoff spot with a 3-4 record.

Local ski racers speed their way into new season Anne Lefebvre

Calabogie Ski Racing Club

Sports - The Calabogie Ski Racing Club (CSRC) has opened up another race season with a full complement of enthusiastic athletes – and lots of rookies keen to learn the ropes. After a fall dryland training program, the kids were eager to get out on the snow. Winter arrived with a blast this year, so the racers started carving it up in midDecember. They have just wrapped up an intensive race camp at Calabogie Peaks, which ran almost every day through the Christmas holidays. CSRC is a competitive alpine ski racing program focused on the development of youth into competitive athletes and responsible young adults. The club is athlete-centred, which encourages personal growth and develops individual potential. Athletes race within the National Capital Division of Alpine Ontario, against racers from other ski hills in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.

CRSC offers five age divisions: U10, ages 8-9; U12, ages 10-11; U14, ages 12-13; and U16, ages 1415. Its racers come from all over Eastern Ontario, from Carp to Pembroke, and as far away as Kingston, Manotick, and Kemptville. The dedicated racers train every Saturday and Sunday. The racers will spend the next few weekends training to compete in upcoming Slalom and Giant Slalom (GS) races. In Slalom, racers navigate tight courses by pulling off quick short-radius turns, whereas in GS the turns are longer and the speed greater. The U14s and U16s will kick off the season with Slalom races this Saturday, Jan. 18 at Vorlage and Mont Cascades, Quebec. The U14 gang will follow this up with a GS race Jan. 19 at Camp Fortune, while the U16s compete on home territory at Calabogie Peaks for their GS race that day. Stay tuned this season to JEFF WISSING/SUBMITTED read all about the race re- The Calabogie Ski racers pose prior to the season. Included are four members from the Arnprior area, including U10 – Thys Blok (White Lake) and Louise Stonham (Arnprior); U14 – Jack Hamilton (Burnstown) and Sean Swayze (Braeside). ports and results.

Lack of patience spoils popcorn

JANET TOBIO/SUBMITTED

Seniors club honours lifers Winnie Reed and Bernie Lynn, two long-time members of the Golden Valley Seniors, are presented with certificates and welcomed as life members of the organization. The presentation was made at the club’s annual Christmas dinner in December,

Lifestyle - The corn popper hung on a nail behind the Findlay Oval. It was a big wire basket affair, blackened from use, with a long steel handle. Father said his grandfather made it, but Mother was reasonably sure she saw one just like in Scott’s hardware. It didn’t matter to us how it got to the farm in Northcote, it only mattered that we had it. Nothing pleased me more on a cold winter’s night, always on a Saturday, when Mother would tell Audrey to take down the popper and make up a batch of popcorn. Of course, that didn’t happen if it conflicted with the same night as the Saturday night house party. Although we grew

corn, it wasn’t from our crop that we got the kernels. At Briscoe’s General Store there was a big bag, back near the barrel of molasses and the coal-oil, which held bulk corn you could buy by the pound. TIN SCOOP

The tin scoop sat on top of the kernels, and the paper bags were piled on the counter, and for 10 cents you got enough corn to last half the winter. My sister Audrey was the one to pop the corn. That is until

the night my brother Emerson said he thought it was high time he was allowed to do the job. Audrey didn’t mind giving it up, but I had serious doubts Emerson, who said he knew a faster way to pop the corn, was up to the job. It had been a long day, and Mother was in no mood to argue, so she told Emerson to get down the wire basket and take the bag of corn out of the cupboard. He dumped the amount needed into the wire basket, hooked it closed and

moved over to the Findlay Oval. You had to have a strong arm to not only shake the basket continually over the hot stove lid, but to endure long minutes before the corn started to pop. Emerson seemed to think the faster you scraped the basket over the lid, the sooner the corn would start to pop. Audrey had already put a soup bowl of butter on the back of the stove to melt. Popcorn was not good without a big splash of melted butter. Well, we could see Emerson was getting impatient. Audrey told him shaking the basket faster had nothing to do with getting the kernels to pop, it had everything to do with the heat of the stove.

That gave Emerson an idea. If the lid wasn’t hot enough, then surely putting the basket right over the hot coals would do the trick. He slid the lid off, and put the basket directly in the hole it left, and a fraction from the burning wood. Soon the corn was popping at a great rate, and Emerson was shaking the basket like his life depended on it. LESSON

Mother was watching from the end of the kitchen table, shaking her head. She was a firm believer in letting us learn from our mistakes, and there was no doubt in her mind Emerson was in for a great lesson! The popper was full to bursting, and Emerson raced over to the table to dump it into the big baking bowl. It was soon obvious that the only popcorn we could eat was sitting in the bottom of the bowl, because the bottom half of the basket was burnt to a crisp. “Didn’t feel like popcorn anyway,” he said, surveying the blackened kernels staring him in the face. Father had wakened from the smell of the burning corn, shook his head and promptly fell back to sleep. Mother told Emerson to scoop off the burnt kernels, and take them out to the chicken coop. Nothing was wasted back in the ‘30s, even burned popcorn. We divided what was edible, which wasn’t much. The next morning when I went out to gather eggs in the hen house, the burnt kernels were just where Emerson had flung them. Even the hens couldn’t eat them.

Liz Wall Seniors at Home

Community - Last year ArnpriorBraeside-McNab Seniors at Home (ABMSH) ran a very successful collection of pennies all under the title of ‘Penny Time’. Thanks to that fundraiser, the meeting room at Seniors at Home is now officially ‘The Penny Time Meeting Room’ and some of those pennies donated will be forever on display reflecting both the generosity of the community and the life of the lady it was named for. ‘The Penny Time Meeting Room’ is in honour of a loyal member of the team, Penny Ellen Lamendeau, who passed away on April 27, 2012. For 10-plus years, Penny was both a staff driver and volunteer for the agency. She was not just an employee but a respected and loved member of this agency’s family, a family made up of staff and volunteers dedicated to the betterment of all seniors. The respect and love Penny Lamendeau earned throughout her young life was never more evident than the day of her funeral when St. John Chrysostom Church was filled to capacity with family, friends and acquaintances that were touched by

News – An outbreak of the potentially deadly H1N1 flu in the province in early January has prompted new calls for people to get the flu shot. In a news release last Friday, the Renfrew County and District Health Unit reminded people that it’s not too late to get a flu shot to protect themselves from influenza. The flu shot prevents up to 80 per cent of flu cases in healthy children and adults, notes the health unit. “We have received a number of inquiries, and we want people to know that this year’s flu shot provides protection against the H1N1 flu virus,” said Renfrew County and District’s newly appointed medical officer of health Dr. Maureen Carew. “It’s important to get immunized given that the H1N1 flu virus is presently circulating in Ontario and across Canada,” she added. “Influenza affects people of all ages, but children under five and people between the ages of 20 to 64 appear to be most susceptible to the H1N1 strain,” says the health unit release. “Influenza is a serious respiratory illness that can cause lost time at work or school, a

slow recovery and in some cases, even hospitalization or death.” The health unit stresses that the flu vaccine is safe and “the best way to keep you and the people around you healthy during the flu season.” The flu vaccine is free for everyone who lives, works and attends school in Ontario. You can get your flu shot at the Renfrew County and District Health Unit by calling 1-800-267-1096, ext. 666 to make an appointment. The flu shot is also available at most pharmacies and doctors’ offices in Renfrew County and District. Pharmacists can administer the vaccine to people age five and over. Information about the nearest flu shot clinic can be found at www.ontario.ca/flu. PROTECT YOURSELF

In a news release last week, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Arlene King, also appealed to Ontarians who haven’t yet got the flu shot to do so to protect themselves from influenza. Dr. King stressed that it is still important

If you’re sick, stay home: doctors News - With the flu season in full swing, Ontario’s doctors are encouraging people who are sick to stay home. “I can’t stress it enough going to work while sick is bad for you and potentially worse for your colleagues,” said Dr. Scott Wooder, president of the Ontar-

io Medical Association. “Staying home to rest will help you to manage your illness and prevent others from getting infected. Think about those around you, and please don’t take the flu to work.” In a news release, the medical association points out the flu is highly con-

to get immunized - particularly with an increased proportion of confirmed cases of the 2009 H1N1 flu virus in the province and across the country this year. As of late last week, there have been about 250 cases reported in Ontario, including three in Renfrew County. There have been more than 1,000 cases of the regular flu, with close to 300 people hospitalized and at least eight deaths. The strain of influenza affects people of all ages, but children under five and those age 20 to 64 years old appear to be most susceptible. To date, children under five appear to be most at risk of hospitalization. Deaths have been reported in adults and the elderly. “I am calling on all Ontarians who have not already done so to get the flu shot now, since it takes about two weeks to become fully effective,” said King. The flu shot given out this year does protect people from the H1N1 virus as well. Good hygiene practices such as frequent hand washing, covering all coughs and sneezes, and staying home when you are sick can help to prevent infectious diseases, noted the news release.

tagious and most cold and flu viruses are spread because people touch surfaces and then touch their faces, other objects and other people. Employers should encourage workers to stay home when sick - not require sick notes, which has a discouraging effect, say doctors. It also forces sick patients into the doctor’s office, encouraging the spread

of germs to those in the waiting room, who in some cases are often the more vulnerable. Children, seniors and those with chronic diseases are more susceptible. Following a few basic guidelines such as coughing and sneezing into an elbow, using hand sanitizer, and washing hands frequently will help prevent the flu, say doctors.

Visitors asked to ‘like winter’ in Ontario’s Highlands regions News - While much of the province is still scraping ice off car windshields following recent storms, Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) is embracing all that is great about the frosty season in the region with the launch of a new consumer marketing campaign boldly titled, Like Winter. Geared at winter enthusiasts and powder junkies from GTA and Ottawa markets, the campaign runs until Feb. 16, and asks visitors to its home page, LikeWinter.ca, to vote for one of nine unique, authentic and memorable winter activities in Ontario’s Highlands for a chance to win a $1,000 gift card from Mountain Equipment Co-op. “The Like Winter campaign highlights the region as one of Ontario’s premier winter destinations offering a truly unique travel experience right in our visitors’ backyard,” says Julie Mulligan, OHTO’s marketing manager. “We’re asking consumers to proclaim their love for winter in Ontario’s Highlands and vote for the experience that gets them outside to take in all that this beautiful season has to offer. From dogsledding to downhill skiing, there is nothing like escaping to Ontario’s Highlands to celebrate the magic of winter.” The campaign will reach consum-

ers via multi-faceted promotion encompassing social, digital and traditional marketing. Cheeky and vibrant images, a series of YouTube videos and interactive social media posts will engage users and highlight the region’s deep snow, untouched winter wilderness and rural charm. The key message? Nobody does winter like Ontario’s Highlands. Local businesses and winter operators in the region can get involved by encouraging their Facebook fans to cast their vote at LikeWinter.ca; interact with the OHTO on its social media pages (@OnHighlands and Facebook.com/ontarioshighlans); and submit promotional images, videos and content for the OHTO to share, based on several spotlighted events. It started with downhill skiing Jan. 6-10 and snowshoeing Jan. 11-15, and follows with cross-country skiing Jan. 16-21, ice climbing Jan. 22-24, pond hockey Jan. 25-28, dogsledding Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, ice fishing Feb. 36, snowmobiling Feb. 7-12 and sleigh riding through a maple bush Feb. 1316. More than two dozen businesses in Ontario’s Highlands – including Winterdance Dogsled Tours, Haliburton’s Pinecone Forest, the Marmora SnoFest, Wheeler’s Maple House and Fulton’s Pancake House and Sugar Bush – are taking part.

Weather prompts reports of shortages

Cold weather places high demand on salt, propane supplies

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

Four lanes work moving north Work has begun on the brushing along the route of the next phase of the four-laning that will turn Highway 17 into 417 between Arnprior and Renfrew. A number of trees have been cut and pulled out of the section running northwest from Campbell Drive in McNab-Braeside. As well, part of the area that will make up the interchange at Highway 417 and Campbell Drive has been cleared.

News – The icy weather so far this winter has adversely affected the supply of items such as salt and propane. Landscape Ontario said it has received reports of salt shortages following the major ice storm that hit several portions of the province. Private contractors who remove snow and ice from parking lots, businesses and retail establishments are finding it increasingly difficult to access salt as limited inventory is reserved for use by government institutions on roads and highways, says the organization in a news release. It quotes industry insiders as saying supplies are decreasing quickly as more and more snow falls, causing both economic and safety issues for contractors and their customers. “With winter storms still forecasted and win-

ter far from over, the lack of salt can create dangerous conditions for drivers and pedestrians,” says Landscape Ontario/ PROPANE SHORTAGE

Meanwhile, despite stories about rural residents left in the cold, the Canadian Propane Association is playing down the threat caused by a reported propane shortage. While it admits that there have been shortages in some areas, it’s because the cold weather has delayed shipments not for a lack of product, the organization said in a news release. The limiting of supplies by some distributors has sparked concern that the heating ability of even more rural residents could be compromised this winter.

Carbon monoxide alarms to become mandatory in province of Ontario John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

News – Legislation making carbon monoxide alarms mandatory in Ontario will be phased in, but residents shouldn’t delay in installing them, says the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office. In a release in the wake of the recent power outages that affected up to 500,000 homes, residents were advised to check and install working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to ensure early warning in case of fire and dangerous carbon monoxide levels in their homes. The provincial government claims 88 per cent

of homes have something that poses a carbon monoxide risk. The Arnprior fire department agrees with the importance of having properly installed and working carbon monoxide alarms in homes. Arnprior fire prevention officer Rick Desarmia said past experience shows they can to save lives. They are already mandatory in the building code for all new buildings, he noted. The Ontario government unanimously passed the Hawkins-Gignac Act Nov. 27, making carbon monoxide alarms mandatory in all Ontario homes with fuel-burning appliances or heating systems, fireplaces, or attached garages. The bill still requires Royal Assent before

officially becoming law. The province is advising residents already with the devices to ensure they continue to work when power is lost. “During power outages, electrically-connected smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms will not work unless they have battery back-ups,” cautioned the release. “Make sure your home has battery-operated smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms.” The warning also urged people to use “extreme caution” when using fuel-fired appliances such as portable generators and heaters, furnaces, fireplaces, hot water heaters, stoves

and gas barbecues. “These appliances produce carbon monoxide when fuels such as propane, gasoline, kerosene, natural gas, heating oil or wood have insufficient air to burn completely. Only a carbon monoxide alarm will alert you to the presence of deadly carbon monoxide gas.” If only installing one alarm, locate it near the sleeping areas, says the advisory. “People need to take responsibility for their safety during power outages,” said Ontario Fire Marshal Ted Wieclawek. “Make sure you’ve got working carbon monoxide alarms and smoke alarms to alert you to a potential emergency.”

Fatal airplane crash cause remains a mystery Staff

News – A Transportation Safety Board of Canada report released last Friday sheds little light on why a plane crashed near Calabogie in October 2012, killing the pilot. The privately-owned aircraft piloted by Robert John Reany of Port Elgin left the Carp Airport on Oct. 8 before inexplicably crashing into the woods in a steep dive at mid-day. The 74year-old pilot, the plane’s sole occupant, was killed on impact in an isolated, rugged forested area near Centennial Lake northwest of Calabogie. Reany, an experienced pilot, was heading back home to

Goderich for Thanksgiving dinner with his family when the crash occurred. He was flying a single-engine, six-seater Socata TBM 700 aircraft. He had flown to Carp early in the day, then filed a flight plan to return to Goderich. The safety board report indicates that Reany had altered his destination to Wiarton, Ontario, shortly after takeoff. Air traffic control cleared the aircraft to climb to 26,000 feet above sea level. The aircraft continued its climb to that level, but then entered a right-hand turn, which quickly developed into a spiral dive, says the report At 12:19 p.m., the aircraft

struck the ground at a high speed and was destroyed. “Given the high level of destruction and the fact that recorded data was limited to air traffic control recordings, it was not possible to conclude with any certainty why the aircraft entered the rapid descending turn,” says the safety board in a news release. “The investigation concluded that the pilot lost control of the aircraft for undetermined reasons and it collided with terrain. “In addition, it was noted that the avionics system had the capability to record data essential to the accident investigation, but the recording

The melt is making the ice unsafe. Snowmobilers: stay off and stay alive

medium was destroyed in the accident.” The safety board did identify as a possible factor an increased risk of incapacitation due to hypoxia (a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply). “This can happen following depressurization when aircraft operate above 13 000 feet above sea level without an available emergency oxygen supply,” explained the report. In its news release, the safety board notes its sole aim is the advancement of transportation safety and it is not its function to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability.

News – Local OPP are urging cell phone users to take steps to ensure pocket dialing does not tie up 9-1-1 emergency lines. A pocket-dial occurs when a cellular phone stored in an insecure fashion in places such as pockets, handbags and backpacks inadvertently places calls while being tossed about, explain police. OPP Provincial Communications Centres (PCC) continue to see “far too many” pocket dials, as the calls unnecessarily tie up 9-1-1 lines. This can result in delayed response for people who are dealing with real emergencies and need immediate assistance from police, fire or medical personnel. To prevent a cellular phone from pocket dialing, keep it in a holster that is designed for that specific cellular phone, advise police. If you don’t have a holster, make sure to lock the device’s keypad. The OPP also reminds the public that if a cell phone does accidentally dial 9-1-1, the wrong thing to do is hang up. When operators receive 9-11 calls that result in the caller hanging up, they are required to make callbacks to determine whether the call is legitimate or accidental while also dispatching an officer to attend when locations are identifiable. “It is, therefore, important to stay on the line and tell the PCC operator what happened.” The OPP says it is “relying on the public to take these important steps to avoid pocket dials so that 9-1-1 lines can be available to those who need them.”

Full-day kindergarten set to become all-inclusive

full-day kindergarten in the 2013-14 school year. The Renfrew County public school board is holding registration for junior and senior kindergarten for the 2014-2015 school year Monday, Jan. 27 to Friday, Jan. 31 and Monday, Feb. 3 to Friday, Feb. 7 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. (excluding school lunch period) at each of its schools. The Renfrew County Catholic school board is also holding kindergarten registration from Jan. 27 to Feb. 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at its schools. Registrations are also welcomed at any time by prior arrangement with the school. To register, most school boards require identification documents such as a birth certificate, birth registry/baptismal certificate, Ontario health card and immunization record. For junior kindergarten, children must be four years of age on or before Dec. 31 of the current school year. For senior kindergarten, children must be five years of age on or before Dec. 31 of the current school year. Junior kindergarten students who attended in the current school year do not need to reregister for senior kindergarten. “We are proud of our innovative full-day kindergarten program which is the biggest transformation our education system has seen in a generation,� said Education Minister Liz Sandals. “We know that children who complete fullday kindergarten are now better prepared for success in Grade 1 and beyond.� R0012509232

News – The shift over four years to full-day kindergarten in Ontario will be completed this September as all elementary schools will offer the service. The final 1,000 schools not offering fullday kindergarten this year will be added to the majority already providing “this important program that gives kids the best possible start,� says the provincial government in a news release last week. With this in mind, the education ministry is encouraging parents to sign up their kindergarten eligible children when registrations begin later this month. All day kindergarten will be available for all four- and five-year olds in Ontario this fall, benefitting almost 265,000 students in about 3,600 publicly funded schools across the province. The government notes that Ontario families can save up to $6,500 per year in child care costs by enrolling their child in full-day kindergarten. The release points out that a recent study found that Ontario’s youngest learners who completed full-day kindergarten are better prepared to enter Grade 1 and to be more successful in school than those who were in half-day kindergarten. This year, McNab Public School is offering full-day, every-day kindergarten and A.J. Charbonneau and Walter Zadow public schools have full-day, alternate-day kindergarten. Both Arnprior Catholic elementary schools, St. Joseph’s and John XXIII, began offering

Love, Kevin (Cindy), Catherine and Lois

Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel. For no-one knew the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

2 years have passed since that sad day when the one we loved was called away. God took her home it was His will. But in our hearts she liveth still. Love always Grandma & Grandpa

January 8th, 2011 Of a dear father, grandfather, and a great grandfather. It is hard to believe it has been three years now; Each one of us still miss you on a daily basis. Sometimes we want to call and tell you something extraordinary happened, then reality sets in that you’re gone. The memories and stories are still very much alive in each of us.

Each morning when we awake We know that you are gone And no one knows the heartache As we try to carry on.

Dealing with dreaded Ban junk food ads aimed at kids: report New Year’s resolution Patricia Leboeuf

Ian Harris RNT

Opinion – A list of 2014 New Year’s resolutions: Lose weight; stop smoking; join, no make that go to the gym. So how do we set realistic goals that we can attain. First of all, don’t make resolutions, especially ones that are not realistic or ones that in the past have not received the attention they deserve. Instead try more attainable goals. For example, instead of committing to losing weight, why not give yourself a more meaningful goal of 2 to 5 pounds over the next month. Goals that are openended, such as “I want to lose weight,� with no manageable goal or time frame will fail. Once you lose the 2-5 pounds, go for another manageable goal and continue doing so until you lose all the weight you want to lose. The same goes for smoking. Try cutting back a little at a time. It is more manageable and realistic to cut back by one or two cigarettes a day than quitting cold turkey. Going to the gym is no different. Wanting to be Arnold Schwarzenegger is highly unrealistic. It took Arnold years of training, dedication, proper nutrition and a genetic predisposition to size, definition and strength to become the hulk he is today. Try a simple goal, such as working out for just 15 minutes once or twice a week and eventually work towards a

Weight management, wellness and nutrition

more demanding schedule. For motivation, try going to the gym with a friend. The other issue with resolutions is trying to eliminate more than one bad behaviour or bad habit at the same time. Choose the habit or behaviour that you most want to change and when you attain your goal move onto the next. As the saying goes, Rome was not built in a day! Do not set the bar too high or expect too much too soon. Look at your goal as a puzzle and piece by piece you will put it together and eventually your goal will be completed. The mind is a wonderful thing! Tell yourself what you cannot accomplish and you will fail. Tell yourself what you want to accomplish and you will succeed! It is just as easy to be positive as it is to be negative. Negativity is like a disease. Believe in it and it will destroy you. Have a healthy and prosperous New Year.

News – If something isn’t done, about 70 per cent of today’s children will become overweight or obese adults, according to an Ontario Ministry of Health-commissioned report. To prevent this dire future, an Ontario Healthy Kids’ Panel Ontario-produced report is pushing for a ban on marketing junk food to children under 12. Products would not be banned but targeted advertising to children would, confirms Healthy Kids’ panel co-chair Alex Munter. He indicated that promoting high-calorie, low-nutrient foods to kids should be banned province-wide. A similar ban against toy- and fast food ads has been in place in Quebec for the past 30 years. According to the report, the approach has resulted in between two billion and four billion fewer calories consumed by young children in that province.Several less controversial recommendations are included: • adopt standardized prenatal education curriculum; • require food retailers and restaurants to list the nutritional value of their products to create a three-pronged strategy encouraging children to lead a healthy lifestyle. The report offers a solid how-to from health service providers. “It really kind of zoomed in on some areas that we know we can make some improvements if we work together,â€? said Ottawa Public Health

Healthy Kids panel News - The Healthy Kids’ panel is composed of 18 Ontarians, sharing a wide range of experiences, opinions and backgrounds. More information on its report can be found at www. health.gov.on.ca.

Department health promotion and disease prevention manager Sherry Nigro. “This isn’t just something that doctors do, it’s not just something that teachers do,� she added. “It’s something that everybody needs to be engaged in.� PARENTS NEED HELP

If these recommendations are implemented, childhood obesity would be reduced by 20 per cent over five years, affirms Munter. “Parents have repeatedly told us that they want to provide health food options for their kids, but often find that the environment around them undermines those efforts,� said Munter. “So we can and we should do something about that.� The report’s recommendations were deeply rooted in the belief that parents must be backed up, he added. “Parents are doing their best for their kids and they want us to support them and I think they have the right to expect government, businesses, schools, professionals and service providers to back them up in their efforts to raise healthy kids,� he said. Ontario Minister of Health Deb Matthews announced that she will look over all 23 of the report’s recommendations and Munter is hopeful that many of them will be implemented. The panel took great care in getting into the meat and potatoes of the issue while eliminating the fluff. “We did not produce a list of hundreds of utopian ideas,� said Munter. “We did

review hundreds of ideas, but we boiled it down to a three-prong strategy.� This strategy involves giving kids the best start in life, changing the food environment and creating healthy communities. No single idea from the report will cure childhood obesity, but it’s overall approach that will prove successful, said Munter. Different communities are ready for different recommendations. West Carleton already has implemented a policy on unhealthy on food and beverages in elementary schools and it could serve as a stepping stone for other similar programs, said Nigro. Munter prefers not to speculate on which recommendation will be put into action and which won’t. Several weeks after publication the report has already generated criticisms as well as praise over what some deem controversial methods. “Out of that will gel a consensus of what we need to do to tackle the issue,� said Munter. “The fact is that childhood obesity has tripled in the last three decades.� Nearly a third of children between the age of two and 17 are currently overweight or obese. “Now we are starting to see high blood pressure in younger children,� said Nigro. “There is a link with other diseases like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, some metabolic issues and that’s not touching how it affects our psyche. There is definitely a link between obesity and self-esteem.�

Winter survival focus of naturalists presentation Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists

Lifestyle - A delightful, clearly delivered talk to the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists by Patty Summers from the Wild Bird Centre described the varied and intriguing ways wildlife prepare to survive winter. How do they do it? Summers divides wildlife winter-survivor strategies into three categories – outwit, outlast and outplay, with outwit being by far the most widely employed strategy. Outwitting winter, Summers explained, involves turning the tables, knowing the science of cold and of snow and cold water to find the secret, hidden warmth. Fresh snow can be up to 90-95 per cent air and is a good insulator. In the ‘subnivean’ space 15 centimetres under the snow, small mammals such as mice and voles inhabit a relatively cozy space between snow and ground. They are not alone there. In fact, an entire food chain inhabits the space: bacteria, fungus, springtails, spiders, shrews, weasels, etc. Likewise aquatic ‘outwitters’ seek out the relative warmth of deep water zones way below the ice. Cooler water sinks and stabilizes at four degrees Centigrade with no circulation and there it has a higher concentration of dissolved oxygen than surrounding layers. Fish here eat less, move less, or, like carp, bury themselves in mud. Another outwit strategy is ‘build a four-season home’. Bees consume honey for energy and form tight shivering clusters, which are 32 degrees Centigrade in the middle. Not surprisingly there are challenges faced by the ‘outwitters’, and some will not survive.

PAULINE DONALDSON/SUBMITTED

Wildlife expert Patty Summers poses with a highly specialized winter survivor, a Great Grey Owl, following her talk to the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists. Foxes can hear prey under the snow and can leap and pounce through. Grey owls can locate prey two feet under the snow and plunge through a snow crust that can hold 175 pounds. Earthworms survive six feet underground in a slimy membrane. Ants burrow into the soil or under tree bark. Others such as groundhogs, chipmunks, and woodland jumping mice hibernate below the frost. Frogs and salamanders, who can absorb oxygen and emit carbon dioxide through their skin, go deep underwater, as do turtles, who can survive but must dig very deep.

AVhi lZZ`Éh VchlZgh

Another slogan of the outlast survivors is ‘it’s better with friends’. Snakes can’t dig, but they gather by the hundreds in tree stumps, holes, or in cracks or caves among rocks and share their warmth. Ladybugs do the same under bark and rocks or the south side of a house. Dormancy or hibernation is another key ‘outlaster’ strategy. In an extreme example, some frogs cryopreserve themselves. As ‘frogcsicles’ their heart is stopped, but their organs stay ‘alive’ with no oxygen or nutrients. They survive fatal freezing damage by eliminating water from inside their cells. Perennial plants outlast winter as well, storing nutrients in roots below the frost line. Trees reabsorb valuable nutrients from leaves before the leaves are shed and form buds before winter. Conifers’ form protects them from snow load as their roots go past the frost line for water. Just as there are risks to outwitting winter, there are also risks when attempting to outlast winter. Turtles hibernating under the mud with their hearts beating only once every few minutes are totally vulnerable if they did not dig deep enough. They will be eaten if found because they will not wake up. A third winter survivor strategy is ‘outplaying’ winter - dress for winter, remain active and ‘play’ all winter despite the harsh conditions. Birds increase feathers and down layers, lose bright colours, eat more and spend nights in torpor, with lowered metabolic rates and body temperature. They keep their feet warm with extra feathers, and a heat-exchange blood circulation system. Some birds will tuck alternate legs up inside their feathers to keep them from freezing.

“Who needs boots?” says Summers. Mammals will increase fur, change color to a dull white fur that has more air pockets for better insulation. They will fatten up with brown fat. Some small mammals like chipmunks and flying squirrels are active in their burrows and often emerge on sunny days. Squirrels are active all winter, as are deer, that ‘yard’ in an area of good browsing and shallow snow. Another game of the outplayers says Summers is ‘Cache and Seek’. Birds, mammals, squirrels will hide (cache) extra food to use in winter. Many birds cache food in the fall and find it later by smell and in some cases by their amazing memory. ‘Bird brains?’ Beavers live in their houses with food stored nearby and muskrats make and live in mounds of vegetation called ‘push-ups’. They also establish food caches and bundle together for warmth. Crows roost together. Flying squirrels must nest in groups together. Which of these strategies is best? If there was an award for the best winter survivor amongst wildlife, which animal would it go to? At the conclusion of her presentation, Summers, told that group that for her, the star of ‘winter survivor wildlife’ is a bird, the golden crowned kinglet. This tiny bird does not enter torpor. It maintains a normal body temperature which is three degrees Centrigrade higher than other birds. This ultimate outplayer of winter also manages to find three times its weight in food daily, and may raise two broods per year – a marvel of activity. The club’s next natural history talk will place tonight (Jan. 16) in the Almonte United Church social hall.
