Town of Arnprior staff is recommending council vote for a .5 per cent municipal property tax rate increase, or an additional about $40,000 to town coffers. The municipality’s top bureaucrat, Michael Wildman, tabled the 2016 draft budget at the Jan. 11 regular meeting. The chief administrative officer outlined various challenges and opportunities facing the town, leading to the proposed $8.94 annual increase on the average bill. “The increase will fund current and future pay-as-you-go projects,” Wildman said in the report, “specifically the downtown revitalization 2016-2017 (and) asset management life cycle renewal.” The $10- to $12-million downtown revitalization will be funded in part by reserve money, along with a short-term loan of almost $5.8 million. Because the loan is for just five years, staff maintains normal “pay-as-you-go” practices

are being followed. Many municipalities use the practice over recent years to lessen interest payments to lenders such as financial institutions. But some argue that taking time to build up savings also means construction costs will almost certainly rise and access to grants is put on hold. More goes into residents’ annual tax bill than just the municipal portion, of course. Staff estimates that the county could raise its rate by one per cent and the education portion – which hasn’t risen in a few years – will remain at zero. The 1.5 per cent increase would mean, for the average home worth about $222,000, an annual increase of almost $52. USER FEES UP

However, Arnprior’s $17.2-million budget is getting money from areas other than tax bills. User fees are taking the place of traditional taxation methods. Garbage rates continue to rise from $130 two years ago to $140

today. But the rates are still far less than neighbouring communities. Water and wastewater rates are also on the rise. Last year’s typical annual bill of $725 will likely jump to $1,026 in a decade. The current rate is the seventh highest in a list of 12 comparable communities. Mayor David Reid said if council votes in favour of the .5 per cent increase come Feb. 22, the money will go straight into reserves. So it isn’t money needed for operating or immediate capital reasons. It is worth noting that while reserves are being reduced to pay for downtown revitalization, the town is also spending more on its assets. Things like roads, sidewalks, watermains, and sewers were getting almost $1.4 million annually in 2013; they now get $2.6 million. Council will take the coming weeks to study draft budget and hear from residents with their opinions. The county and education portions won’t be known for some weeks. The final levy increase number will be established in May.

Refugee welcoming group to hold ‘Taste of Syria’ evening The Project Arnprior Welcome (PAW) committee is hosting a cultural awareness evening Thursday, Jan. 28 to share a few examples of Syrian culture with the community. Most local people have little or no knowledge of Syrian culture, so the refugee sponsorship committee is working together to try to understand a little of the background and way of life of incoming refugees.

That way it will be easier to be more welcoming when a Syrian family arrives in the middle of winter in a foreign country. “We can only imagine their sense of cultural shock,” notes the committee in announcing the cultural awareness session. IMMIGRANT TO SPEAK

The ‘Taste of Syria’ evening will

feature a short presentation by a scientist from Deep River who has experienced leaving his county of Egypt to settle in Canada. There will also be a sample of Syrian Mezze (appetizers), music, children’s activities (please bring indoor footwear) and a chance to mingle and ask questions of the committee. The public event will be held at the Christian Education Centre,

257 John St. N from 7:30 to 9 p.m. All ages are welcomed and admission is free. Organizers hope citizens will

come and join them in learning just a little something about the culture of a new family that is about to join the community.

Dog thefts prompt police warning

R0023632574/0114

2 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, January 21, 2016

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are warning dog owners that there has been a series of dog thefts in Renfrew County and other areas in Eastern Ontario recently. Most of the thefts in the last couple of months have been in areas west and south of Ottawa. The OPP report the most recent theft of dogs reports are from Renfrew County, Leeds County, Napanee and South Frontenac County. The pets have been taken or have gone missing while outside by themselves.

The OPP remind pet owners to try to be aware of where their pet is when being let outside on their own. They urge people to report any suspicious persons, activities or vehicles immediately to police. Animal rescue organizations are encouraging dog owners to equip their pets with microchips so they can be more easily traced. The microchip information should be updated when people move. People should also licence their pets with their municipal offices.


Snowmobiler badly hurt near Goshen Road A local snowmobiler was airlifted to hospital in critical condition after two snowmobiles collided about midnight Saturday near Goshen Road. A female passenger on the other snowmobile was also taken to hospital with serious injuries. Renfrew OPP were notified shortly after midnight on Sunday, Jan. 17 of the collision on a trail in McNab-Braeside. They report there were two people injured - a female passenger on one snowmobile and the male driver of a second. The man, a McNab-Braeside resident, was transported by paramedics to a local hospital and then airlifted to a second hospital. His injuries are considered critical, say police. The female was also transported to hospital with serious injuries. A police investigation indicates four snowmobiles were travelling

together at the time of the crash. Police have not ruled out alcohol as a contributing factor in the collision. Technical collision officers are assisting with the investigation. OPP Const. David Ladd is leading the investigation. Meanwhile, a snowmobiler escaped the freezing water in Constance Bay after his machine fell through the ice later Sunday. Firefighters, police and paramedics responded to the call, which came in around 2:30 p.m. that a man had fallen through the ice near the 900 block of Bayview Drive. By the time responders arrived on scene, the man had walked up on shore and, but his skidoo was still in the river. The snowmobile had fallen through into a foot-and-a-half of water and the skis were still visible. Sector fire chief Chris Burke said the fluctuating temperatures and the big dump of snow at the end of December mean the ground hasn’t

completely frozen in areas. “There’s a lot of areas on the trails in low lying areas where they find they’re breaking through and hitting puddles because the ground isn’t frozen yet,” he said. “It’s not solid enough to be running anywhere with your skidoo yet. The only thing we can say is ‘Stay off the ice, stay off the ice, stay off the ice.’” The OPP and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs are stressing that most trails are still in less than ideal condition as they launched Provincial Snowmobile Safety Week (Jan. 16-24) with a message for snowmobilers to focus on their own personal safety and the well-being of others. The OPP and OFSC reminded snowmobile enthusiasts to stay off the lakes and waterways for the time-being as conditions are generally poor in many parts of the province.

Northland tries new bus service for the Valley Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

Ontario Northland started offering a new bus service this week through the Ottawa Valley. The pilot program will see buses servicing Upper Ottawa Valley towns as it goes between Sudbury and Ottawa three days per week starting today (Thursday, Jan. 21). The service will include stops in Renfrew and a flag stop in Arnprior. “This route will provide a growth opportunity for our business and provide connectivity for the communities we serve,” said Ontario Northland CEO Corina Moore in a news release. “This new route will enhance our service and provide convenience for passengers travelling to and from the north. The schedule has been tailored to meet the needs of our passengers connecting through Sudbury and North Bay.” The route will include stops in Sturgeon

The pilot program will see buses servicing Upper Ottawa Valley towns as it goes between Sudbury and Ottawa three days per week starting today (Thursday, Jan. 21).

Falls, Mattawa, Pembroke, Petawawa, Renfrew and Ottawa. The flag stops have been set up in Warren, Verner, Deep River, Chalk River, Cobden, Arnprior, Kanata and Ottawa’s Bayshore Mall. The service will be assessed after a sixmonth period. The news is good for the area, as Greyhound Canada had made drastic cuts to their local schedule. Back in November, Renfrew County circulated a resolution urging Greyhound Canada to improve the service in the Deep River to Ottawa corridor or let some other company take over the route. With just one bus per day departing Pembroke in the early hours of the morning and making its way to Ottawa, options have been limited for those wishing to use the service. “When Greyhound changed their schedule, it became an inconvenience (to take the bus),” said Rebecca McGlynn, Northland’s director of marketing and communications. “(This route) came about because of de-

mand from our passengers. It is really good news for Northland. Most of our passengers are students or for those who have medical reasons (to travel).” The Northland buses usually hold 45 to 50 people. The Valley bus will stop at the O’Brien Variety store on O’Brien road on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays at 7:40 p.m. on the way to Ottawa. The bus is scheduled to arrive in Arnprior at 8:05 p.m. and Ottawa at 9 p.m. On the way back to Sudbury, it will leave Ottawa at 7 a.m. with stops in Arnprior (if there are passengers) at 7:50 a.m. and Renfrew at 8:15 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays. It will arrive in North Bay at 11:55 a.m. and Sudbury at 1:50 p.m. Arnprior’s flag stop means that the bus will only make the stop when the driver knows a passenger is there. The stop will be in Winner’s Circle by the Prior Sports Bar. Tickets can be purchased online or riders looking for more information can call 1-800-363-7512.

Walter Zadow class builds boxes to protect bats John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

Lyann Dejager’s Grade 4s at Walter Zadow Public School want to help dispel the myth that bats are scary creatures. After learning that bats play an important role in the eco-system, they have embarked on a class project to build bat boxes to help the bat population fight off white-nose syndrome. The bat boxes will be placed near the school this spring in the direction of Gillies Grove and the Galilee Centre. Dejager got the class interested in bats in response to the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s appeal to schools to get involved in its HelpTheBats.ca program. It didn’t take long for the class to take up the cause with enthusiasm. Students watched federation videos and on finding out the dangers facing bats, decided to make 12 bat boxes to help protect them. When they started, about half the class admitted to be scared of bats. That’s not the case any more. The class even has a toy bat mascot. “They’re not vicious,” said student Derek Smith. “And they eat a lot of bugs.”

It teaches the students about biology, woodworking, safety, teamwork and even literacy, as the students wrote letters to the town and Galilee Centre when determining where the boxes could be located. The students learned that white-nose syndrome is a relatively new disease caused by a fungus that afflics bats that don’t have a properly protected place to winter. The disease has dropped some bat populations by 90 per cent in three years. Erin McCombe and Grace Currie are proud of In response, the Canadian their creation, a box designed to protect bats. Wildlife Federation has undertaken research on how to combat the problem. It has Grace Currie noted that it’s only the vampire bats that bite, and they don’t also launched the HelpTheBats.ca frequent this area. “Some people think program, engaging schools and other they’re ugly, but they’re not mean,” she groups in learning about Canadian bat species and the current threats to their said. Dejager noted that Arnprior RONA survival, including habitat loss and provided the wood for the boxes and white nose syndrome. More than 2,000 schools and groups when told about the project cut all the pieces for free, which made things across Canada are participating, although Walter Zadow is the only one much easier for the students. The students scored the wood last in the Arnprior area. The wildlife federation is also enweek and started screwing the pieces couraging people to monitor bat poptogether.

Braeside pedestrian hit by vehicle, parents call for greater police presence Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Some parents who walk their children to bus stops have grown increasingly frustrated with callous drivers threatening their lives. A number of close calls on White Lake Road, on Arnprior streets and a recent serious incident in Braeside have at least one mother determined to prompt police to action. On Monday morning, Carrie Foster was crossing River Road in the village of Braeside with her son. Holding hands, they were attempting to reach the bus stop well in advance of its arrival.

the driver’s attempt at shaving off some commute time. That’s when Foster was hit by an oncoming car. She slid up the red Honda UAX’s hood, then down to ground. The student was not injured. It was serious enough to require an ambulance and trip to the hospital. CHARGE LAID

The driver, 34, remained on scene. He lives on River Road and faces a dangerous driving charge along with six demerit points. “It’s one of the most serious charges under the highway traffic act,” said Const. Janice Sawbridge. “Passing a snowplow is not a smart idea. We are lucky both were not struck.” The driver could get a $490 fine and come closer to losing his licence. Tara Topping lives nearby

and heard about the incident. She has witnessed with some regularity vehicles exceeding the 50 kilometre-per-hour speed limit ever since she moved to Braeside almost two years ago. “We do live on River Road and have made requests for greater (police) presence,” Topping said. “We constantly see people going 70- or 80-kilometres. Not cleaning their windows, speeding, they won’t stop; if you are out of their lane that’s all they care about. They won’t wait for you to reach the other side. “What if someone ran back for a hat that fell off ?” Topping has offered to bring meals and baked goods to Foster for the rest of the week. She is outraged all the close calls have come to this. And she is determined to ensure

a worse incident doesn’t take place. “I reached out to the mom. That sounded bad enough,” Topping said. “I’m not going to sit quietly anymore.” She has contacted OPP, township council and the principal at St. Joseph’s Catholic School where her children attend. She also plans to contact all major stakeholders by letter. Topping is convinced only one solution is needed. It isn’t more and better cleared sidewalks, because the danger is in crossing the road. It isn’t flashing lights or speed bumps, because the road is an artery. It is about OPP patrolling the area. “Twenty minutes a day, or even 15: a police presence five days a week. That can’t be impossible for them. That, to me, is the only effective change.”

Rooting out drunk drivers A nother festive RIDE program has come and gone. And we’re still getting mixed signals from police as to whether the impaired driving message is getting through. Provincially, the number of impaired drivers charged over the Christmas season was down marginally from the year before. However, almost 600 drivers were charged and another 350 had their driver’s licences temporarily suspended over the month the RIDE blitz was in effect. In all, OPP nabbed more than 6,000 impaired drivers last year. On the other hand, in most Ottawa Valley detachments the number of impaired charges was down over the Christmas period. The numbers are a far cry from those even 10 years ago. Nevertheless, even a few drunk drivers on our roads can unleash a terrible amount of carnage, given the amount of traffic there is on local highways and how vulnerable motorists are in today’s vehicles. The modern car has more safety gadgets, but they can go faster, not a good thing since nowadays they’re made more like tin cans than tanks. While the OPP have shifted their focus somewhat from drunk to distracted driving, they, in their year-end report, still characterize impaired driving a “huge threat to public safety.� Fortunately, despite the OPP’s pessimism,

the message about the dangers of impaired driving has sunk in for most people. Unfortunately, for a few, it will never happen. For most of them, it’s not a driving matter, it’s a mental health issue. And that’s what should be tackled. Let the traffic officers focus on deterring drivers who should know better, but drive distracted anyway. Many of those who still drive impaired have deeper problems. Among the impaired driving incidents in this area in the last year, two stick out. In one, a man showed up impaired at the liquor store at opening time, was refused service, ignored warnings not to drive home and was charged. The next day he was again stopped and charged with impaired driving. In the other case, a local businessman totaled vehicles twice in the last year and both times was charged with impaired driving. Obviously, both men have serious alcohol problems. The traditional don’t drink and drive messages mean little to them when they’re out of control. Police and health officials need to be given the power to take more effective steps to protect society from such people. RIDE programs can help get incorrigible drunks off the roads temporarily. However, their root problems have to be tackled and stricter methods entertained to prevent them from ever getting behind the wheel while impaired.

Town council gets stupidity award for snowplow policies To the Editor: We have been working on various projects to improve the area around our new subdivision, Campbellbrook Village. Many have been completed, but a few are still in progress. We have had many times to work with the town, particularly public works. We never could understand

why they do stupid things, but kept pressing. Yesterday, (Jan. 14) however, was a day to top the list. We called the town to ask when our sidewalks would be cleared of snow. Now, here was the answer they gave: “Council has decided to only clear sidewalks in a commercial area or on priority routes.�

Some promises shouldn’t be kept

Clear snow from sidewalks Continued from page 8

• Town property taxes are the highest. The town already saved a ton of money with no snow clearing last fall, right to Dec. 31. No snow to clear. Residents deserve to have the sidewalks cleared. Residents want value for their taxes. Residents elected councillors to think, before acting. The town decision on sidewalks is really, really stupid. Have a happy and safe new year. Dave Thompson Arnprior

the air forces combined. This will save us a lot of money and I don’t think the coalition will miss six Canadian jets out of the 300 that are involved in the air strikes. Canada will still leave two surveillance aircraft (to help identify terrorist camps or headquarters ) and a refuelling jet along with troops to assist in combat training. We are still involved but we are not directly killing innocent people while still supporting our allies in the fight against ISIS. A promise that should be kept. The aboriginal file: Aboriginal groups in Canada make up 1,362,800 of the population. Canada’s population is 35,700,000. Based on these numbers, aboriginal groups represent 3.8 per cent of the total. Canada’s budget less debt charge of $26 billion is $274 billion (2015 budget ) available for spending. Transfer payments to the aboriginal groups is close to $11 billion. This equates to 4 per cent and $7,857 per person. This seems very fair, based

on population, however, they are lobbying for more. The rest of Canada receives a little less, $7,667, but they pay the majority of the taxes which generate the government’s revenues. That is why I believe the majority of Canadians do not believe they should get more funding and I’m sure you will agree that stories in the media of band councils hogging the funds, not giving enough to their own members who need it the most also helps create this negativity.

One of the enduring strengths of Canada is our inheritance of the British parliamentary system of democracy. While no electoral system is perfect, the way we choose our elected representatives has served Canadians well. One thing we all agree upon, is that Canada is the best place to live in the world today. Suggestions that change is necessary should be met with the healthy dose of skepticism it always is. It is for that reason that citizens should be alarmed the Trudeau government is telling Canadians their opinion is worthless when it comes to electoral change. That is exactly the message with the refusal by Trudeau to ask for your permission directly before any changes are made in the way we elect our representatives.

R0013651336.0121

To the Editor: The national media seems obsessed these days about how many promises the Trudeau government has broken or will break. Well, in my opinion, promises are sometimes better broken. A promise to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees before year-end 2015 has been broken. Only 6000 were accepted. This is a good thing. Proper screening and vetting is paramount to receiving the best refugees possible and assuring Canadians they can feel safe that the threat of terrorists amongst them has been properly and logically addressed. Another promise the Liberal government made, if elected, was to withdraw our CF18 fighter jets from the U.S.-led international coalition to fight ISIS (The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria). Pundits and the Conservative Party of Canada are accusing the government of “pulling out” and “withdrawing” in the fight against ISIS. This is just not true. PM Trudeau still plans to keep his promise to withdraw the CF18 fighter jets, which represents only two per cent of

Report From Parliament:

Trudeau claims the last federal election, an election where over 60 percent of Canadians voted for other parties, somehow gives him the unlimited power to make undetermined changes to the way you elect your federal representative. This, under the very electoral system the new government condemns for creating artificial mandates that are not truly reflective of the public will. It is important to point out that no province has sought to make changes to the electoral system without first going to the people. In the past 10 years, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and British Columbia have all held referendums to consider proposed changes to their voting system. There are legitimate concerns about the secretive role American political advisors played in electing the Trudeau Liberals. That, and the leaked discussions shortly after the election to tear down the Prime Minister’s taxpayer-subsidized residence at 24 Sussex Drive in Ottawa to be replaced by a home that could only be called a palace. Dubbed “WhiteHouse North” by the media, with an initial cost estimate by the National Capital Commission (NCC) at $150 million, the quick denials were political spin at its best. Does any Canadian seriously believe the American political system, with its reliance on vast sums of dollars from special interest groups to run, is superior to our own? Is Trudeau’s closest political advisor, coming from the Toronto Liberal party, trying to fix the next election? Locally, I know I was not re-elected as the Conservative Member of Parliament based only on my promise to oppose any attempts to bring back the longgun registry, any more than votes cast for any other party were solely based on one policy or promise, like changing how citizens get elected. In our parliamentary system of government, the party with the most elected members has a mandate to govern. If, in the course of carrying out that mandate, they wish to bring alternative electoral systems to the people, they can certainly do that. And the only democratically legitimate method of bringing those options to the people, given the concerns raised above, is in a referendum. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, CNL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you!

Health Prevention “Relationshipsâ€? Don’t Fake it‌Make it! - ethically Don’t we all want to make the most out of life? Enjoy life? Be happy? Without pain? Just this week the world has lost a great musician, David Bowie, then Celine’s husband died and days later her brother. Cancer everywhere it seems. And guess what? Health and Happiness is intertwined. They need each other like a functional duality. Yes, relationships DO matter‌big time‌of course there is more, much more to this. However, it is proven people living in healthy and happy relationships are living happier and longer lives! It is so important to enjoy the times we spend with people, our family and in particular our partners. I cringe when I hear people say “Ive been married for over thirty years and haven’t lived my life! I need to live now!â€? Well absolutely, but that’s a bit late, don’t you think? I mean I’ve had my share in relationships, but never ever did such a thought even enter my mind. “I didn’t life my life!â€? -absolutely I did. It may not always have been easy or enjoyable, but I am grateful for everything I’ve ever lived through. Built so much character and strength. “I haven’t lived my lifeâ€? can be looked at as a total disrespect to oneself as well as their partner. Even if we fake it for ourselves, don’t we owe it to our partner to be real? Communicate and respect each other? But hey‌if we can’t even respect ourselves, how shall we respect others, never mind our partners? Scary‌ Ignorance and today’s glorification of being busy boosts our egos and we get false and twisted insights we take for real and blindly follow. And then the viscious cycle starts‌â€?I have to live nowâ€? sounds and inscenuates that “I don’t really care what anybody else things, feels or does, as long as I’m fullfilling my unlived life and do now whatever my twisted brain longed for all alongâ€?.

The first of six Arnprior Knights-Legion challenges is in the books. The Knights of Columbus, fresh from coming back from the Las Vegas Card School, came out swinging. Unfortunately, the Legion led by Mary Campbell and Wendy McQuaig (with a perfect 9-0), rallied to quickly put a stop to any uprising by the Knights. When the smoke had cleared, the Legion had won the first challenge by 31 games. Casualities (Skunks) included Pixie McCombMarilyn Dagleish and Joan Hanniman-Carol Marcellus. Other noted injuries with a 1 -8 record were BobNancy Coyne, John-Shirley Rice and Madeleine Hanes-Barb Heise. If you like to play cards and have some fun, come to the next challenge on Friday, Jan. 29 at the St. John Chrysostom parish hall. Registration is at 6:30 p.m. with the challenge beginning at 7 p.m. “See you there.â€?

To keep with tradition of giving at Christmas, Mulvihill Insurance of Arnprior donated $500 each to four very worthy local organizations: Families Helping Families, Arnprior District Food Bank, Arnprior District Humane Society and Renfrew Hospice. Top, Hospice Renfrew board chair Connie Legg, second from let in front, accepts the donation from Matt Mulvihill (left), Erin McCormick and Kevin Mulvihill and in back from left Joanna Pirie, Kim Thomas and Barb McNulty-Smith. Above, left, the Arnprior District Food Bank’s Allan Smith accepts a $500 donation from Mulvihill Insurance, presented by Erin McComick. The food bank has issued a hearty thank you for all the generous donations it received over the Christmas period.


‘Leave the Pack Behind’ contest targets smokers To mark National Non-Smoking Week (Jan. 17-23), the Renfrew County and District Health Unit is hosting an annual contest that encourages young adults to butt out. The promotion, held in partnership with the provincial organization Leave The Pack Behind, is aimed at motivating young adults to quit smoking, reduce their smoking, or just stay-smoke-free for a chance to win up to $2,500. The six-week contest is an “important strategy” to help tackle the high rates of smoking among young adults 18-29 years old (21 per cent of Ontario young adults smoke compared to 13 per cent of the general population). Last year more than 13,000 young adults entered the wouldurather … contest, which has been proven to be effective in helping people quit smoking. Recent research shows that up to 20 per cent of young adults who participate in wouldurather … will quit. Without the contest, only about five per cent would be successful. It helped Denis Mahoney, a student at Lakehead University and one of the $2,500 winners in the 2015 contest, to finally quit. “I started off casually, as most smokers do. I would smoke the occasional lunch hour and when I was drinking, but as time went on it became more and more routine,” he said. “As soon as I realized I was hooked I wanted to quit, but it was a lot easier said than done. I had almost given up until I stumbled upon wouldurather … The first

few days were the hardest, but after the first few weeks my ‘cold-like’ symptoms were gone, and I’ve been 100 per cent smoke-free now for almost three months. “I wouldn’t have done it without wouldurather ... and my friend Kalen who also quit and pushed me into participating. Now I’m positive I’ll be able to stay smoke-free.” Because not everyone is ready to quit right now, wouldurather … offers contestants the opportunity to choose from one of four categories. Young adults who smoke can quit smoking all together (Quit For Good); cut their smoking in half (Keep The Count); or refrain from smoking any time they are socializing and drinking alcohol (Party Without The Smoke). Non-smokers and ex-smokers can also enter the contest by pledging to renew their decision to stay smoke-free (Don’t Start and Win). In wouldurather …, all contestants identify a ‘buddy’ who will support them during the contest, receive regular support emails tailored to their contest goal, and have the chance to win one of eight cash prizes of up to $2,500. To participate in the six-week contest beginning Jan. 25, Ontario young adults between the ages of 18-29 or anyone enrolled at a publicly-funded post-secondary institution can sign up at www.wouldurather.ca until Sunday, Jan. 24 at 11:59 p.m. Funded by the Ontario government with prize support provided by the makers of Thrive and Habitrol, the wouldurather ... contest aims to motivate and encourage young Ontarians to live tobacco-free lives.

Box Social was always good for a few surprises Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

ing our plates at the United Church suppers either! Take the annual Box Social for instance. It was always held at the United Church, sometimes in the summer, but often in the mid-winter months, and we Hanemans never missed it. And that year, it was to take place as part of a Valentine’s Day celebration. Of course, anyone as young as I would not be taking a box for the party, but certainly my sister Audrey would be right in there. She made lists for days. Certainly, there would be butter tarts, and fried chicken legs, and a couple of Mother’s famous sticky buns.

Packed in beautifully decorated boxes, the long table in the church hall would be stacked end to end, each one brimming with a delicious lunch made by the young ladies of the community, and hopefully attractive enough to entice one of the young men at the social to buy it. Some of the girls wrapped their boxes in Christmas tissue, which back then only came in red, blue, green or white, but the plainness was taken away with the use of plenty of ribbons and anything else a girl could put on the box to attract a buyer. He would then have the privilege of eating the lunch with the young girl who had made it. Of course, no one was to know who made up what box. My brother Emerson, who was much too young to enter into the contest, said it was like buying a ‘pig in a poke’, a phrase he picked up from Father when I wasted

Volnteers: what is missing from the title? The ‘U’ is missing, as in ‘you’. Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home would love to have you become a member of their team in 2016, the year you can, and will make the difference in the life of a senior or someone with special needs. Your community support service agency is in immediate need for volunteers in the following areas: community drivers, receptionist, delivery of Hot Meals on Wheels and the newest opportunity in the Ottawa Valley Thrift Store. The first step of becoming a volunteer with ABMSH is to drop by the office and pick up a volunteer application (also available online

at www.cssagency.ca). Next, you must get a vulnerable sector police check and then return the completed application to the office. This will be followed by an interview with volunteer program co-ordinator Patti Farr. Once you have successfully completed the application process, you will receive an orientation on your new position as a community volunteer and then – feel great! Other programs that require the service of a volunteer include telephone security, friendly visiting, foot care reception, income tax preparers, income tax program receptionists, special events, committee work, and social programs including Friendship Days and the Diner’s Club. You have the opportunity to offer your time within one, or several programs that Seniors at Home offers. Call 613-623-7981.

a whole dime on a grab bag at Ritza’s Rexall Drug Store, thinking I was getting a bottle of expensive perfume, and ended up with Lyndia’s Pink Pills for Pale People! The night of the party at the United Church, was bitterly cold. We bundled up like mummies, and headed out in the flat-bottomed sleigh, with Audrey holding her box, tightly wrapped in a spankingly clean white tea towel, and then in a heavy blanket to keep its innards from freezing. I watched as she packed it. Two fried chicken legs, two of Mother’s sticky buns, butter tarts, and homemade brown sugar fudge. She wrapped it in white paper and coloured red hearts all over it with crayon. On top was a red bow, taken right off my washstand upstairs used to tie up my long red ringlets. She had washed and ironed it, and I had to admit,

the box was a sight for sore eyes, and I was sure would be one of the first to be bid on. Well, after lots of frivolity, it came time to bid on the boxed lunches. Some were just in plain shoeboxes, but those like Audrey’s stole the show, and the bidding started. Audrey, of course, was hoping a lad from the Barr Line she was sweet on would buy hers. Well, as it turned out, Orville, whose two eyes went in different directions, and one ear had been half ripped off in a fight with Two Mile Herman paid a full dollar for Audrey’s lunch box. To say she was more than disappointed would be an understatement. She watched one of the Thom girls boxed lunch go to the boy from the Barr Line, but I was mighty proud of my sister who made the best of it.

The evening ended up with a rousing square dance, then we gathered up the remains of the lunch box, and headed for home. On the sleigh Mother told Audrey she was mighty proud of her, and she pointed out how the lad had a wonderful smile, and looked as clean as a whistle. Father, sitting on a bale of hay at the front of the sleigh, could be heard saying, “yes, and he’s a Lutheran too.” Audrey didn’t care what he was. As far as she was concerned the friendship with the lad from Admaston began and ended at the box social on a cold frosty night at the United Church in Northcote.

They were all good neighbours, those along the Northcote Side Road, a helping hand always at the ready. They mingled over the euchre table at the Saturday night house parties, and ate in the same kitchen when they gathered for thrashing or wood-sawing days. And yet when it came to church, there was, what Father called, ‘the great divide’. The Lutheran and United Churches in Northcote were where most of the social life of the community took place. And although both congregations joined together for events, there was often a ‘them and us’ attitude between the two churches. Father, a staunch Lutheran, often complained that ‘those Uniteds only give us the right time of day when there is a free meal in the offing’. Mother said that was sheer nonsense, because we Lutherans weren’t above fill-


Bigfoot is alive and well

In winter Ruffed Grouse get a r o u n d with the aid of natural snowshoes. Snowshoe Hares leave distinc tive tracks in the snow, with the larger hind footprints set in front of those made by the smaller front feet.

One thing that I love about winter is that you can travel almost anywhere by foot. Ponds, lakes, creeks and slowmoving rivers become level highways safe to use as long as the ice is thick enough to support your weight. But when the snow deepens, to keep from sinking we must adorn equipment that expands the surface area of our feet. While some people sport crosscountry skis, others including myself wear snowshoes. The recent snowfalls have made those types of footwear a necessity. Up until quite recently I was an advocate for traditional wood-andgut snowshoes, my favourite being a pair made by the Avery Company in Whitney. However, for my birthday I was given “high tech” snowshoes (MSR Lightning Ascent). “Hmm,” I thought to myself, “metal frames with saw-like teeth projecting out the bottom; what useless innovations!” Then I tried them out. The first trial was in Algonquin Park where I snowshoed 15 kilometres. The snow wasn’t too deep and the hills not particularly demanding, so I didn’t notice an appreciable difference between the new and old style of snowshoes, except that

MICHAEL RUNTZ

Colleen’s Closet

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way on steeper hills I didn’t slip with the new ones. Then recently I went for a walk on our property and climbed up and down icy, steep hills with ease. I conquered rocky slopes that I never dared to attempt in previous winters, even without snowshoes. I became a convert. During my excursions I came across tracks of different animals that also walked on top of the snow with snowshoes. There were tiny sets of neatly paired footprints, the hind set larger, made by Deer Mice. Also present were larger tracks set also in pairs but with one foot slightly ahead of the other; a loping Fisher made these. And in Algon-

quin everywhere there were the distinctive tracks of Snowshoe Hares. These hardy animals create footprints in groups of four, but when a hare leaps it wraps its monstrous back feet around its front legs so that the large prints left by the hindfeet sit ahead of the small ones made by the front feet. Large hindfeet is a common theme among mammals that stay winteractive in northern regions. The large feet act as natural snowshoes that allow their owners to stay on top of the snow. But, of course, an animal’s hindfeet are present year-round, so unlike our snowshoes, they cannot be stored away for the summer. But one animal does don snowshoes only for winter. However, it is not a mammal but a bird. Ruffed Grouse are able to walk on top of snow partly because their toes are long, but more importantly because the birds adorn snowshoes in winter. Their “snowshoes” are scales that grow out from the sides of each toe, increasing their surface area and keeping the bird atop the snow. The scales wear off soon after the snow leaves the ground in spring, and grow anew the following autumn. On your next winter outing be sure to examine the tracks in the snow. Odds are high you’ll find evidence that Bigfoot really does exist! The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Arnprior woman wins Lions draw The number 13 proved lucky for Mary Fairfield of Arnprior. Fairfield’s ticket was chosen when the Arnprior Lions made the much anticipated draw Jan. 13 for their annual raffle. Her winnings will make her a popular woman in the next couple of months. Fairfield won two pairs of tickets to two Ottawa Senators games, four tickets to Disney on Ice at the Canadian Tire Place, two tickets to the National Arts Centre’s Sound of Music and a three-movie package for four people at the Landmark Cinema in Kanata. Also winners in the Lions raffle are the Neighbourlink Fountain centre of Arnprior and the area branch of the Lions Club of Canada Guide Dogs, which share in the proceeds. “Thank you for helping the Lions help our community,” said Carroll, in presenting Fair-

field with her prize. He said the Lions hoped to sell 2,000 tickets, but ended up with 1,371 sales, enough to make a decent donation to both local charities. Fairfield was delighted with her win, noting she’s not been very lucky in the past when it comes to draws. She’s especially looking forward to Disney on Ice and the Sound of Music. She bought the winning ticket from Carroll and Dave Haines when they were selling them in front of the Metro store. MORE FUNDRAISERS

Many of the former professional players set to play a hockey game in Arnprior this weekend have been named. As part of the inaugural Minor Hockey Day in Arnprior festivities this Saturday Jan. 23, the Ottawa Senators alumni team will lace up against local coaches. Among the former pros to lace up will be:

• Laurie Boschman (Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa and others). • Jason York (Anaheim, Detroit, Ottawa) • Corey Foster (New jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Islanders) • Doug S m i t h (Ottawa 67s, LA Kings) • Chris V a l e n t i n e ( Wa s h ington) • Brad Brown (Minnesota, Toronto) • Shawn Rivers (Tampa Bay)

• Larry Skinner (Colorado) Randall Moore from Chez 106 will also be on hand. The 6 p.m. game is free to kids. Adults are admitted for $5. For tickets call Nick Smith Centre at 613-6237301. An adult dance takes place after the game. Mulivihill Insurance and Samantha Leman of Renfrew Chrysler are among the sponsors. Arnprior Minor Hockey Association welcomes more. Minor hockey day runs all day long with local teams playing on both pads. A pancake breakfast, plenty of off-ice activities and much more will take place at the community centre. Food bank donations will be collected.

support mental health efforts

Hockey Eastern Ontario’s premier players will take to the Bell Sensplex ice Monday, Jan. 25 for six separate all-star games in support of Do It For Daron (DIFD) and teen mental health The inaugural All-Star Winter Showcase evening will feature the best players in the six different leagues. The minor hockey games will include the top bantam and midget ‘AA-AAA’ players in the region. Also included in the showcase are the best junior players in the CCHL 2, which includes teams in Arnprior and Stittsville. It is also perfect timing to raise awareness and funds for DIFD, which supports teen mental health and suicide prevention, as National Bell Let’s Talk day (about mental health) is Wednesday, Jan. 27. Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO) is looking forward to hosting the event with the partnership created with its minor and junior groups, and anticipates “a great night of hockey” on and off the ice. Kevin Abrams, HEO director of junior, shares in the excitement: “The six games will definitely showcase the very best hockey players in our association; it’s always great to bring the top players under one roof for

a night.” The All-Star Winter Showcase will allow players to show their skills to coaches and scouts at the respective next levels. There is no doubt that many of them will go on to star in Junior, NCAA, CIS and even the NHL, noted Abrams. The HEO and the ‘Central’ has been a stepping stone for a number of current NHL stars including Claude Giroux, Patrick Sharpe, Ryan Spooner, Wayne Simmonds, Erik Gudbranson, Paul Byron, Jimmy Howard, Marc Methot, Mark Borowiecki and Dan Boyle who all point to their minor hockey days as keys in their overall development. On Monday, the Bantams kick off the six games as the AAA (2001s) play at 6 p.m. and AA at 6:15 p.m. The new U18 AAA league will have the top 2000 birth aged midgets from the 12 teams on the Palladium Insurance rink at 7:45 p.m. The AA midget allstars will face-off at 8 p.m. while the lone junior game featuring CCHL 2 start at 9:15 p.m. The last game of the night has a 9:30 p.m. puck drop, which has the best 1998-99 born U18 players competing. There will be no admission to any of the games but a donation to DIFD will be appreciated.

Culture, cuisine and conquest in Quebec City The Peewee Packers spent the past weekend in historic Quebec City where the team took in some culture, sampled some of the fine cuisine and played some inspired hockey. The Quebec Cup international tournament brought high calibre teams from all over the world. The division the Packers competed in featured teams from Toronto, Waltham Massachusetts and Florida. With some strong play, the Packers ended the round robin with a 2-1 record and a plus-minus good enough to land them in the cup final. The final would be a rematch against the undefeated Florida Jr. Panthers, the only team to have beaten the Packers in the tournament. It proved from the beginning to be a tight game.

Right from the opening face-off the Packers came out strongly and established a onegoal lead early in the first but knew there was lots more game to come from the very strong Florida team. BEST FOR LAST

The final two periods saw some of the Packers best hockey and they held the high scoring Florida team to only one goal while scoring two more of their own to win the exciting championship game 3-1. The coaches credit relentless fore and backchecking and extremely disciplined team play for the win. “We gave them a game plan and laid out the best way to win against this team and they came though, stuck to the plan and pulled off a real gutsy win.”

Travelling flag promotes Special Olympics John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

One of six Special Olympics flags circulating about the province spent last week in Renfrew County. The flag relay, which began Jan 4, is raising awareness and funds for Special Olympics. It is being organized by the Knights of Columbus, one of the sponsors of Special Olympics. The six large flags are being passed through Knights of Columbus districts in Ontario prior to the Provincial School Championships that will be held in Durham June JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

The players who make up the three Special Olympics basketball teams from the Arnprior area gather around the Special Olympic flag that is circulating around the Eastern Ontario. Knights of Columbus District Deputy Wayne Pickering of Arnprior presented the flag to Renee Stewart, Bryan Terrell and the athletes at a practice Jan. 13 at Arnprior District High School. After a tournament in Kingston this month, the Arnprior hoopsters will host a tournament at ADHS Feb. 20.

2015 BRIDAL TRIBUTE

The Renfrew Mercury West Carleton Review Arnprior Chronicle Guide

WAYNE PICKERING/SUBMITTED

After Arnprior Mayor David Reid signs the Special Olympics flag last Thursday at town hall, he poses with Arnprior Special Olympians, their community co-ordinator Bryan Terrell and Knights of Columbus District Deputy Wayne Pickering.

1-3. The Eastern Ontario flag started in Pembroke before visiting Arnprior, Renfrew and Eganville. It went to Ottawa this week, where it will circulated for a couple of months before going to other Eastern Ontario communities. Knights of Columbus District Deputy Wayne Pickering of Arnprior took the flag around this area. He showed off the flag at a well-attended practice by Arnprior area Special Olympics basketball players Jan. 13 at Arnprior District High School. Earlier in the day, he took part in a ceremony that saw the flag raised at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew. Several mayors have signed the flag, including Arnprior’s David Reid and Horton’s Bob Kingsbury. So did the district’s Grand Knights. The Knights of Columbus announced a partnership with the Special Olympics in 2005; committing $1 million over four years to grow the program in North America, in addition to pledging increased volunteer support for provincial/ state and local games. The Knights of Columbus have extended that commitment through 2016.

The Arnprior District High School senior boys basketball team picked up two wins last week to even its record at 3-3. In hosting Valour from Petawawa Jan. 14, the Redmen controlled the game from start to finish and won by a score of 78-27. Brody Flegal had his best shooting game of the season and poured in 35 points. Justin Smith had 8 points and Matthew Smith added another 7. In the junior contest the Redmen were in a tougher battle and only managed to pull away late in the fourth quarter after Valour’s 6’8” defender had fouled out of the game. The ADHS boys won the game 49-38. Noah Boileau had 17 points and many rebounds. Hayden Tripp added 13 points and Connor Dey 9. Earlier in the week, the teams travelled to Pembroke to play Bishop Smith with mixed

results. The senior team pulled out a 50-49 win in a wild game that saw three players ejected and the Bishop Smith coach briefly pull his team off the floor. Flegal paced ADHS with 16 points, while David Silye added 14 The juniors lost 74-48. The split this week gives them a 2-4 record in regular season play. Both teams were in action on the weekend as ADHS joined with St. Joseph’s and RCI of Renfrew to host a two-day tournament. VOLLEYBALL

The ADHS senior girls volleyball team defeated Madawaska Valley 3-2 last Monday and Valour 3-0 Thursday to even its record at 3-3. The junior girls are 2-4 after losing 3-2 to Madawaska Valley and 3-0 to Valour.

Sarah Robertson from Prior Engagements in Arnprior at the Bliss Wedding Show on Jan. 10. She offers rentals of a variety of items for weddings from tents and wine glasses to chair covers. The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide is publishing its annual Bridal Tribute Feb. 11. The deadline to bring in wedding write-ups and engagement announcements is Tuesday, Jan. 26 at noon.

Brides-to-be and the odd groom ventured out on a rainy Sunday to consider options at the Bliss Wedding Show. The event was held at the Renfrew Armouries on Jan. 10. Sarah Robertson from Prior Engagements of Arnprior organized the show, with the help of photographer Brian Hargraves “Renfrew was picked (as a location) to be open for a broader area,” said Robertson. A show had been done in Arnprior and one in Almonte is planned for February. Robertson was already pleased with the crowd within the first hour of the event. “Thrilled with the turnout. We have 30 vendors for everything the bride could need,” she said. There was photography, music, food, dresses, fashions, rental options, venues and make-up artists. Robertson is entering her sixth year in being involved with the wedding industry and has enjoyed it. She has a staff of about nine people who have dealt with weddings from Petawawa, Perth, Ottawa, Shawville and points in-between.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you’re feeling on edge lately, it may be because you haven’t had a chance to relieve stress. Exercise can be a surefire fix to what ails you, so get up and go. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, an opportunity presents itself in the weeks ahead, and this will be too good to pass up. Embrace the changes that this opportunity offers. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your social life is bustling, but sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with all of the things filling your calendar. You may want to take a few days off. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Career obstacles may pop up from time to time, but you have the commitment to see things through for the long haul. Keep up that perseverance this week. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You can’t always play the peacemaker, Aquarius. Sometimes you just have to let others fight their own battles and then offer support to those who need it. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, there is more going on than meets the eye. You have to pay attention to the subtle undercurrents to figure out fact from fiction. 0121

R0043625208/0121

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, do not allow distractions to keep you from completing tasks that need to get done. Use your ability to focus to plow through your to-do list and finish in record time. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, this week you may be tempted to take risks you never would have considered before. Just don’t let excitement get in the way of common sense. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Something totally unexpected will grab your attention in the next few days, Gemini. Trust your intuition to take things slowly and put out all feelers before you forge ahead. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, although you have a plan to reach all of your goals, do not put success ahead of others’ feelings. Be considerate of others even if their efforts are not up to par. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, proceed with caution in a new friendship or partnership. Test the Here’s How It Works: waters before you devote yourself fully. This approach will ensure you made the right decision. Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric Virgo, if the potential to be criticized scares you, you may not be inclined clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! to express yourself honestly. Worry less about what others think of you and be confident in yourself.
