News – The municipality of Arnprior is looking to increase revenue streams and some developers in town are not happy with having the sights set on them. At the Jan. 12 regular meeting of council, staff explained that a 2010 town bylaw related to development charges “fell significantly short” of collecting enough money. Development charges are fees homebuilders
belleville .CA
pay to a municipality for public infrastructure such as new roads, sidewalks and streetlights. The charge has remained at $6,000 per home, though staff has calculated the infrastructure expenses per household total $13,353. Arnprior has experienced unprecedented growth over the last few years. Chief administrative officer Michael Wildman broke down the cost to the municipality (meaning the savings to homebuilders) from 2006 to 2013. In that seven-year span, the town missed out on $3,096,636. He explained that taxpayers (commercial and industrial owners, along with home owners) had to make up the difference. See HOUSE, page 6

List of projects in budget not secret Staff
News – A list of projects given out to Arnprior council members during budget deliberations Jan. 12 is not secret as indicated in a story in last week’s Chronicle-Guide. The reference was a result of a miscommunication that resulted in the newspaper not getting the details of the list until last week’s edition had gone to press. The referring of the list as ‘secret’ and another suggestion that council and administration were trying to avoid questions regarding a tax rate increase was inaccurate. Town CAO Michael Wildman stressed that the list of capital projects are included in the draft budget, so are not “likely� to increase the tax rate, as the story indicated. Items such as road repaving can be added up until the budget is passed, but they could be balanced off by withdrawing other expenditures. In an email to the newspaper, Mayor David Reid stressed that “Arnprior’s administration and council take the need for open and transparent meetings very seriously and for our local newspaper to suggest otherwise
is very upsetting, particularly when talking about the budget process.â€? Reid and Wildman pointed out that the list of projects referred to are available to the public in the LongRange Capital (LRC) forecast, asset management plan and master servicing plan projects that have all been approved and are in public documents available in council minutes and on the town website. The draft budget was also posted to the website last week. “There is no secret list ‌ never has been,â€? said Wildman. “There was no reason to use that word.â€? The newspaper was unaware that every item on the list was available to the public elsewhere. The list was provided to council at the Jan. 12 meeting, but did not appear in Wildman’s Power Point presentation. It also was not provided to the newspaper when requested in two later emails Jan. 13, nor was an explanation provided at that time Later, it was made clear that all proposed projects are list by year in the LRC forecast for the first five years and then the additional projects for the next five years.
Reid pointed out that the budget tabled Jan. 12 “clearly articulated� that capital projects were based upon the LRC forecast. “Capital planning and asset management has never been more transparent.� The press are given an opportunity to ask questions after council meetings, but rarely do, preferring to take time to review their notes first. No press questions were asked after the Jan. 12 meeting. If asked for the list of projects at that time, Reid said the administration would have provided it. As it was not in the council package made available to the press and unclear on how to access it, the newspaper did ask on Tuesday morning after the Monday evening meeting for the list of potential projects and whether they might boost the tax rate increase. Unbeknownst to the newspaper, the mayor was on holiday and Wildman was tied up in multiple meetings, then a personal matter in Ottawa. Not informed the newspaper’s deadline was looming, they only provided general responses to the questions rather than have someone else
at town hall provide the list. However, the presentation to council and email answers make it clear the list of projects are included in the draft budget, so it’s unfair to suggest it is secret or there was any avoiding of how it would affect the tax rate increase, Wildman said. He agreed that it is possible that council members could successfully add pet projects to the budget. However, given the tenor of the conversations so far, it’s not likely, he said. And if something is added, it doesn’t necessarily mean the tax rate will go up as council could drop an expenditure as a counterweight to maintain the bottom line. “If something new is introduced, we can always take another item out.� The town could get by without a rise in the tax rate this year, but administration is suggesting an increase of 1.33 per cent ($20 a year on an average priced Arnprior home) to account for inflation and to put money in reserves for future projects to allow the town to stick to its payas-you-go policy. The extra $100,000 this year will assist with next year’s pay-as-you-
go asset management rehabilitation projects and the major downtown revitalization projects in 2017-18, in order to avoid help avoid borrowing, deficits or sharp tax increases in the future years. “It’s just good fiscal planning to avoid debt, deficits or large tax rate increases in the future,� explained Wildman, noting the town is facing major capital expenditures of in excess of $35 million over the next 10 years. As the Chronicle-Guide mentioned in last week’s story, budget deliberations and decisions will continue in public meetings. Residents are welcome to attend and have their concerns heard. Council has scheduled a series of open budget meetings on Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m. (operating costs), Feb. 10 at 5 p.m. (departments and services) and Feb. 11 at 5 p.m. (marketing, economic development and other areas). If everything goes according to plan, council will be in a position to pass the budget at a special public meeting on Feb. 12, at 5 p.m. For more on the budget, see the stories on Page 3.

News – The Arnprior Public Library is asking for more than $40,000 this year on top of what it got two years ago. The library recently made a presentation to Arnprior council in the lead-up to budget deliberations. It didn’t compare costs with last year because of the anomaly of having no service agreement in place with McNab-Braeside. But it did compare its 2013 actuals with the 2015 grant request. Another $41,000 needed
FromArnprior it obtained $262,000, and is asking for $299,000. From McNab-Braeside it got $86,000 and is asking for $91,000. That means the town would contribute another $37,000; the township another $5,000. Much of the increase will go toward the payroll. Two years ago it sat at $315,000. This year it is $56,000 more. Chief librarian Karen Deluca offered payroll comparisons with simi-

lar-sized libraries in the area. In 2013, Renfrew’s was funded $360,260, Perth’s $358,100. That’s about $44,000 more than Arnprior’s. Deluca explained that provincial grants and self-generating revenues in the form of fines and events round out funding. She said the goal is to reinstate the level of service to that of 2013 “in the most cost-effective manner.� It would mean a return to 46 hours per week of service (evening hours brought back, and longer Saturday hours.) Summer hours will be extended at the district library; adult, teen and children’s programs brought back; homebound delivery service reinstated; readers’ advisory resumed; and technology training and assistance offered. She is confident events such as the December Dickens’ Reading – which drew in a revenue of $840 – will return to generating cash contributions. The library will find out how much money it will recieve from the town when council finalizes the budget. That is likely to happen Feb. 12 after more public meetings.

Another $750,000 could be set aside for “rolling road rehabilitation� including preventative maintenance and sidewalk work. Design plans could be funded for Daniel Street, and Havey to Charles streets. The recent dramatic drop in oil prices will have an impact on asphalt prices, and cheaper gasoline prices could free up funds from the public works department. Whether or not that money will go toward more road work projects is unknown at present.

News – It’s usually the number one item on most residents’ mind when it comes to a municipal budget: Is my road getting paved this year? Arnprior residents living along Second Avenue and McGonigal Street West have reason to feel confident that this will be the year, according to a capital expenditures list. Town staff recommends council spend over $1 million on the two projects. The list was provided to council at its last council meeting. Council can reject the suggestion during budget deliberations, and residents from other streets can plead their case; but staff and at least some on council are committed at the moment to a rate-of-inflation tax increase. That means that any new projects added to the budget would likely take money away from planned ones instead of increasing the overall expenditures.

TransCanada officials update local councils on Energy East pipeline John Carter
john.carter@metroland.com
News – McNab-Braeside council heard a presentation in support of the Energy East pipeline last week and Arnprior council is next. Three TransCanada officials attended township council’s planning advisory meeting on short notice to provide an update to the newly elected council. The previous council heard a presentation from the company a year ago. TransCanada is scheduled to make a similar presentation to Arnprior council at its next meeting Monday, Jan. 26 at 6:30 p.m. in council chambers. Renfrew County Watch, which has spoken up against the pipeline, is also expected to ask to address council. TransCanada’s community relations lead for Ontario Jon Pitcher, its manager for pipeline integrity and conversion Neil Shortt and area public relations official Nathalie Guay spoke to McNab-Braeside council.
Mayor Tom Peckett said his council members had some probing questions for the TransCanada trio. Pitcher agreed it was a “good meeting” with many questions. Company officials promised to return with more detailed answers to some of the questions, especially those involving the Madawaska River, he said. He said the company is optimistic the project, which includes the conversion of a pipeline down the Upper Ottawa Valley from natural gas to oil, can be approved and started by 2017. Coun. Mark MacKenzie said the meeting was positive in that it helped keep the lines of communication open between council and the company. However, the trio didn’t have answers for some of the most important questions, he said. For example, they said council would have to ask the oil and not the pipeline companies how much of the up to 1.1 million barrels a day coming down the pipeline would be staying in Canada. MacKenzie said the question is impor-
tant because the Energy East proponents are justifying the project as a way to end Canadians dependence on foreign oil. However, that won’t happen if most of the oil is exported, he said. MacKenzie said there was a lack of answers regarding what is to be added to the oil to make it flow through the pipeline. There is concern additives such as benzene will make it more toxic and unsafe, he said. As well, council has received conflicting information regarding expanding the size of the existing pipeline where it crosses under the Madawaska and Rideau rivers, he said. While the extra drilling to ensure the line is deep below the rivers for a long distance will help prevent any direct flows into the Madawaska in case of a spill, it wouldn’t stop leakage into the watershed “or our water table,” he added.
Council to investigate Claybank Park proposal Continued from front
The developers would be seeking a lease of at least 21 years to make the proposal feasible, he added. Peckett said council will investigate the matter further to see what the ramifications are to the township. However, it is an interesting pro-

MacKenzie pointed out that unlike natural gas, oil when spilled into the environment is almost impossible to clean up. “There has to be serious questions that need to be asked,” he said, adding a spill would be crippling to a municipality if it affected the water supply. He said he hoped people are taking the issue seriously and there will be a large crowd at an Ontario Energy Board (OEB) hearing into the issue tonight (Thursday) from 6 to 9 p.m. in Kanata’s Brookstreet Hotel. Meanwhile, McNab-Braeside council passed a motion at a special meeting Jan. 13 supporting an effort by MacKenzie and Coun. Heather Lang to seek intervener status on the township’s behalf at National Energy Board hearings relating to the Energy East project, as well as similar status to speak at the OEB hearing to share council’s concerns.

posal, as the township doesn’t have the money to develop the park area by itself, he said. Coun. Mark MacKenzie said he was pleased to see a conversation started on making better use of the park. Council still has plenty of questions regarding the proposal, but welcomes the interest, he added.

Developers have had plenty of notice that charges could go up, especially after a background study was released at this time last year after a public meeting one month before that. The town plans to introduce a five-year phase-in period to ease the burden on builders. But it will still mean more revenue loss to the town: between 2014 and 2018 builders will save another $912,648, bringing the total amount of fees undercharged over the span from 2006 to 2018 to about $4 million. Wildman said the new development charge will bring Arnprior up to a level comparable and neighbouring municipalities charge. “I don’t think we are out of line with what’s out there,” he said.

money. “The reality is we have fiscally-challenging times,” he said. “We have a lot of (plans) we want to move forward with. DC charges are critical.” He said the fees are less than other areas and the increase will be phased in over five years. He alluded to the view that the 2018 amount should begin now. “It’s a balancing act. I do not support abolishing or deferring the phase-in,” he said. “I think we are being more than fair to local developers.” Reid also dismissed the problem of building permits. “(Developers) took out 80-90 permits. That was way too many. To ask ratepayers to compensate is not fair,” he said. “Yes, it’s a burden to say you’ve overbuilt and not sold. But for the ratepayer to compensate is not fair.” He is not convinced that a bit more on cost of a home will dissuade people from buying in Arnprior, particularly with historically-low interest rates and low energy costs. Builders enjoy low costs to build. Reeve Walter Stack expanded on the town’s plans. He said waterfront and downtown revitalization, along with other projects that have been talked about for years, will prove a selling point for developers. “These are all very important projects that will enhance the salability of the town,” Stack said. Coun. Lynn Grinstead said a big reason people move to an area has to do with the tax rate. If the town has to raise taxes to complete its projects, that will make it harder on developers to sell their homes, she said. Council will make a decision on whether or not to impose new development charges at a future meeting.
MAYOR FOR INCREASE
Mayor David Reid spoke next, starting out by saying he doesn’t want to see developers put at a disadvantage. And that all must be treated with consistency. But the town needs

However, none of this sat well with developers in the council chambers Jan. 12. They face an increase of $1,200 a year during the phase-in. The development fee charge will go from about $7,500 last year, to about $12,500 in four years time. Scott McEwan of McEwan Homes spoke to council of his admiration for how staff have collected back taxes and corrected the water billing system. He is impressed with the people at town hall. But he warned that any increase to development fees will bump up the price of each house. That would make it even more difficult to sell homes (and collect taxes annually from new residents), he added. Arnprior’s main advantage, McEwan said, is not in box stores that Carleton Place has, or proximity to the city or a new highway – both of which Carleton Place also has – but in price. To lure people from Ottawa - people who must pay gas money to work in the city - a lower cost for a new home is crucial, he suggested. McEwan indicated that residential sales
have slowed over the last year. Many homes meant for sale have turned into low-profit rentals. Building permits are high, but sales low. Campanele Homes, for instance, took out 50 building permits last year but sold just 15 homes. And now builders are dropping prices; Olympia Homes now offers a model for $199,000. “We have to be cheaper,” he said. Over his many years in Arnprior homebuilding, McEwan said he has never seen the current situation: 115 units are for sale; that will take years to do. He took issue with Wildman comparing the development charges levelled in Ottawa and Kingston to Arnprior, calling it “apples to oranges.” Those cities offer shopping, jobs, public transit and more, he said. The tax rate in Ottawa is also less. He stuck with the Carleton Place example, citing its much lower development charge ($4,300). It puts Arnprior at a competitive disadvantage, he said, adding that luring more people will help with commercial development – which also contributes to town hall’s revenue streams. He also took issue with the argument that residential growth does not generate profit for a town. McEwan can’t understand how bringing more people to town and increasing the tax base is a bad thing. His last point was that various non-profit organizations such as the Arnprior hospital’s Partners in Caring, ask developers to donate. They do, in no small measure, he suggested. But he ended where he started. “It’s not the developers you are charging. It’s your new neighbour, your new ratepayer. We pass it on.”

Four-laning schedule change divides county councillors Staff
News – The debate over which sections of Highway 17 in Renfrew County should be next for four-laning is dividing on geographical lines. Municipalities in the Pembroke-Petawawa area are arguing that the four-laning work should skip to their area before returning back to the route between Renfrew and Pembroke. However, municipalities in the south end of the county have expressed concern that changing the order might cause delays in project. Renfrew County Council will be asked its view of the issue at its Jan. 28 meeting. However, if its operations committee is any indication, council will not support a push to have the four-laning move north before it is finished further south. Committee members have voted against backing a Town of Petawawa motion requesting the province make improving the highway between Pembroke and Deep River the priority, or at least it be undertaken in concert with the extension to Renfrew. Instead, the committee suggests county council reaffirm its position that the section from Scheel Drive to Renfrew be considered the priority for four-laning in the county.
Committee members expressed concern that if the county appears divided on what section to four-lane or if it pushed for work in two segments it might stall the project. It was noted that the councils of Laurentian Valley and Whitewater Region have both indicated they would not support Petawawa’s request, but Pembroke, Deep River and Laurentian Hills have. A school bus driver on the route from Cobden to Meath Hill has chimed in to say that area of the highway is “downright dangerous” when it comes to picking up students. The ministry should get started on the fourlane bypass on the other side of Muskrat Lake as soon as possible, he said. Petawawa and its neighbours argue that the highway in their area deserves to be a priority because it serves more than 10,000 employees and soldiers from Garrison Petawawa and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (formerly AECL). The Ministry of Transportation is currently four-laning the highway between Campbell and Scheel drives in McNab-Braeside with the section to be completed in 2016. If the project continues as planned, the four lanes will next be extended to just east of Renfrew, with the following phase to take it over the Bonnechere River to the Bruce Street exit.
Mailboxes shot up in McNab-Braeside News – Someone is shooting up mailboxes in McNabBraeside. Not only is the vandalism causing damage, it could be dangerous. So the OPP is asking the public’s help to find the culprit(s). The OPP report one mailbox on Carmichael Side Road and another on River Road were damaged recently. It appears to be someone is using a shotgun and birdshot to attack the mailboxes.
Anyone using a firearm in this manner could face serious weapons-related Criminal Code charges, warns the OPP. Anyone with information on this investigation is asked to call them at 1-888-310-1122. The Renfrew-Arnprior OPP responded to 177 calls for service last week. Seven were for domestic disputes. In one a man was charged with forcible confinement, uttering threats, assault and domestic mischief.
On Jan. 1 at 1:30 a.m., OPP officers responded to a report of a vehicle running in the ditch on Highway 17 near McCallum Road in McNab-Braeside. The female driver was reported as unresponsive. She failed a roadside alcohol screening test and was arrested. Following tests at the OPP detachment, a 28-year-old Shawville woman was charged with care or control of a motor vehicle while over 80 mgs.

Chinook blows into Arnprior A special guest dropped in on the Arnprior Airport last Friday afternoon. One of the new Chinook helicopters from the 450 Squadron out of Petawawa landed in Arnprior in on its way to Ottawa on a military exercise. It was the first time one of the new Chinooks had set down in Arnprior.

A Caregiver’s Story Before being introduced to The Grove Nursing Home daytime program, 68 year old Ben* had nowhere to turn. His wife, Diane, had been battling Parkinson’s disease for over 20 years and had recently developed Dementia. As her mind and body continued to deteriorate, her condition completely consumed both of their lives. Taking care of Diane became a full time job. Ben found that he was so focused on his wife that he wasn’t able to take care of the other needs in his life. Work began to pile up and he found that his mood had worsened and his temper was getting shorter and shorter. He knew that it was time to reach out for help. Diane now attends The Grove daytime program three days a week. From 10 until 3, she is able to make friends and utilize her social skills while taking part in a suite of fun and interactive activities. Ben has really noticed a change in his wife as he has begun to see her bubbly personality again. Ben has also been able to reap the benefits of this experience.

He is able to do things for himself that he hasn’t been able to do in years. With this break in the day, Ben is now able to enjoy the time that he does get with his wife.

Ben says that without the help of the supportive staff and volunteers at the Grove, he wouldn’t be able to function and that he wouldn’t be able to go on.

EDITORIAL
Support Alzheimer’s awareness Opinion - January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and this year the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County is urging awareness about the particular impact on women. According to information released by the society earlier this month, the number of women living with the disease outnumbers men, and women are often the primary caregiver of people suffering from the disease. The nation-wide campaign to get Canadians talking about Alzheimer’s disease is called the 72 per cent awareness campaign because that is the percentage of women believed to be affected in some way by the disease. “You know these women,� the society says. “They are the special women in your life – mothers, wives, sisters, grandmothers, and friends. We want women to take action, be Alzheimer’s savvy, know the warning signs and take steps to reduce their risk – not only for themselves but for those in their care,� the release adds. The burden of shouldering care for a family member with Alzheimer’s is heavy indeed. But communities can help in numerous ways, from opening discussions about Alzheimer’s to fundraising for Alzheimer’s research or supporting those who fundraise. The local society raises about 60 per cent of its budget from donations and fundraising.
While the campaign is winding down, the society’s ultimate message remains timeless – no one should have to face this disease alone. The Alzheimer Society exists to help those who live with Alzheimer’s, either as a patient, caregiver, family member or friend. The Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County’s Programs staff provides bilingual services including information, support and education in a variety of ways – in person, over the phone, by email and in caregiver support groups. The society’s programs and services are offered at no charge, or with a nominal fee for seminars and special events. Established in 1980 and incorporated in 1982, the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County is a non-profit and charitable organization with an 11-volunteer board of directors, more than 300 volunteers, as well as 25 full- and parttime staff members. Almost 200 clients of the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County responded to a satisfaction survey about local society programs and services offered during 2012–13. Ninety-three per cent of the respondents said the society’s services were accessible and informative. To learn more, the Renfrew County toll-free phone number is 1-888- 411-2067.

Caveat Sentio – indeed: Let the voter beware this election year To the editor: Caveat emptor is a Latin expression roughly translated means “let the buyer beware.� It is mainly used by lawyers, realtors and used car salesmen. The Latin word for �vote� is Sentio. So I’ve come up with the expression “caveat sentio,� roughly translated meaning “let the voter beware.� It is being used only by me for this article and the following is just my personal opinion, but I hope some of you will agree. I’m tired of being lied to by politicians over my 47 years
of voting (I’m 69 ). Pierre Trudeau, Brian Mulroney, Jean Chretien and even Stephen Harper have all broken their promises they made while campaigning, only to do the opposite once in power. I’m also tired of voters who re-elect these same leaders, rewarding them for broken promises, giving them another term to punish us. Not enough voters care enough to remember how their elected officials keep letting them down. And it really hurts when it is the party or person you voted for that is guilty of
doing it. It is to the point for me that I don’t know who to trust or vote for in the next election! Despite broken promises, scandals, corruption and selfserving politicians who develop ‘egos’ larger than Mt. Everest, we keep them in office. Let me elaborate and expand on this theme. In the next federal election, we, as voters, need to vote for a party and leader that will clearly state its policies and principles, who we feel we can trust to keep and implement them within their term of

Township road needs plowing To the editor: I am surprised McNab-Braeside would need a new plow, they don’t wear the ones out they have now. They will not rust the box out on the truck because salt never touches it. If you doubt that, take a drive on Bellamy road from White Lake to Bayview Lodge Road.
It’s covered in ice. I thought maybe with a new council things would change, but, alas, no, I guess they don’t pay their operators to work after hours so snow can only fall during the daylight hours. Thanks for a lovely challenging road. Terry Cunningham McNab-Braeside
Don’t take away public question period To the editor: I see the new McNab-Braeside council has decreed that questions from the floor at the end of the regular council meeting will no longer be allowed, however elected officials may be available after the meeting to listen to taxpayers concerns. The rationale is our elected officials may be embarrassed by a question from a citizen. What happen to the open, ‘we listen’, accountable, transparent democracies we were promised by the
Four prime ministers equals four broken promises Continued from Page 8
Along comes Pierre Trudeau as Prime Minister promising a “just society,� over-promising, as it turned out. After four years and spending 100s of millions of dollars, the “just society� failed to materialize. Facing the voters again, he got a gift from the Conservatives that were campaigning on a platform of “wage and price controls,� which the public rejected and voted the Liberals back into power because they promised not to. Well guess what, shortly after in power Trudeau reversed his mind and “zap your frozen� became the Liberal slogan. Broken promise #1. And then along comes Brian Mulroney and the Conservative party who inherited an “indebted society� as opposed to a promised “just society� to the tune of $220,000,000,000 +/- (That’s a billion ), promising to address the debt and eliminate deficit spending (an addiction under Trudeau). Notwithstanding these promises, two terms later the Conservatives left the country with a debt of around $450,000,000,000 and introduced a new consumption tax called the GST
(goods and services tax), something they never promised. Broken promise #2. Then along came Jean ChrĂŠtien and the Liberal party promising to “axe the tax,â€? bragging to the voting public that he would “kill the tax,â€? even put it into writing in the Liberal ‘red book’, the party’s election platform. He never kept his promise and even denied making the promise and after three successive terms in power, the GST remains in place hidden through the collusion of the current federal and provincial governments and it’s called the HST (harmonized sales tax). Only Quebec was smart enough not to go along, saving their constituents a lot of money on their purchases. Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so they were not affected. In the name of “efficiencies,â€? combining provincial and federal sales taxes the GST was added to many items that were exempt prior to at the federal level, which increased consumer costs. In any case, PM ChrĂŠtien broke his promise just like his two predecessors. Broken promise #3. Then along comes Stephen Harper

and the new Conservatives promising to reduce the size of government, eliminate deficit spending, bring more accountability and openness in government so the public knows what is going on, and to capture the ever increasing baby-boomer group, no taxation on ‘income trusts’ because as he stated publicly while campaigning “that is the only secondary source of income for seniors.� Well guess what, yes, he broke his promises as well. Income trusts were taxed, accountability and openness in government has gone in reverse, and so far every year in power since elected in 2006 his government has run a deficit, adding over $150,000,000,000+/- to the national debt, bringing us to over $600,000,000,000. The bureaucracy has grown in size and this majority government has agreed to add another 30 seats to the House of Commons (do we really need more members of parliament when the ones we have do not represent us very well?).

www.cherylgallant.com Now that the winter heating season is upon us, residents once again face the shock of opening their monthly electricity bills. The Report by Auditor-General Bonnie Lysyk into the “smart meter� hydro electricity scandal confirmed what you have been telling me about electricity costs and billing practices in Ontario; the system is out of control! What is also clear, is that it has nothing to do with our local electricity distribution companies like Ottawa River Power, or Renfrew Power, or our local employees of Hydro One. The fault lies with a high electricity rate policy that was developed by the same small clique of advisors who have fled Toronto, and now surround the inexperienced leader of the federal liberal party in Ottawa. In the case of local complaints about so called “smart� meters, complaints came exclusively from Hydro One customers. Residents and businesses served by our local utilities seem generally pleased with their service. Ironically, just like the federal liberal gun registry that ended up costing taxpayers a wasted billion dollars over budget, according to the provincial Auditor General, projected costs for smart meters had already reached almost $2 billion (a billion over budget) and are still climbing! Every hydro customer is charged for the new meter. It is listed as another hidden “distribution� charge to be added to the rising cost of electricity that has resulted in the loss of thousands of manufacturing jobs in the province of Ontario. Of note, in other provinces like Quebec and British Columbia, customers are given a choice whether or not they want a smart meter. The main reason electricity is now so expensive in Ontario is the carbon-type tax the province levies on every bill. It is itemized as the “Global Adjustment.� On page 377 of her Report, Auditor-General Lysyk confirmed that “The Global Adjustment is an extra charge, resulting from a government policy decision.� In her independent report, the Auditor General observed that since 2006, the global adjustment paid by electricity customers has grown from $654 million to $7.7 billion in 2013, an increase of almost 1,200%, while the average market price of electricity has dropped 46%! Worst of all, the province plans to continue increasing the charges it adds to your power utility bill. The Auditor-General also stated that ratepayers thought the smart meters must be faulty, when in reality consumers were not aware that the huge price increase in their bills were caused by the global adjustment/carbon tax that had been added to their power bill by the Toronto liberal party.

Local parents get lesson on social networking safety Sherry Haaima
Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
News – If you’re a modern-day parent, chances are your child and or/their friends are using an ipod, ipad, iphone or android device. Today’s youth have access to social networks, the Internet, Xbox, Playstation and other gaming systems and it’s a challenge for parents to understand and monitor their children’s online activity and keep them safe in the ever-changing, sometimes dangerous places technology can lead. The Renfrew-Arnprior OPP and the Renfrew Police Services Board teamed up to bring social media safety expert Paul Davis to the area in December to speak to students, parents and other community members about online safety. Davis had information and tips for parents in a free evening presentation at St. Joseph’s High School. He also spoke to students at both St. Joe’s and Renfrew Collegiate Institute during the day. Davis, through his company Social Networking Safety, wants to educate children and empower parents. Having worked in information technology (IT) and with computers for more than 25
years, Davis recognized the need for more information for young users and parents alike. He has made his presentation all over Canada and the United States, and has spoken to more than 175,000 students over the past four years. Davis was impressed with the local students. “The questions were excellent,” he said. “And their attention was phenomenal.” Young people embrace technology and most understand it really well. Parents might not be as up-to-speed as their kids. “What’s the key to keeping our kids safe? It’s called parenting. The key to online safety is parenting,” said Davis. It’s important for parents to have conversations with their kids. A good rule of thumb is to insist on no devices at the dinner table and absolutely no technology in kids’ bedrooms. The human brain needs time to relax and shut down in advance of bedtime so limit screen time in the hours leading up to it. Do random spot checks on your kids’ phones – have a look at the device, see what messages they’re sending, what photos they’ve taken. Insist on knowing your children’s passwords. Follow the already set-out rules, including the one that says Facebook users must be 13 years of age or older, said Davis.
Children are playing violent, sexualized games and often parents don’t know to what their children are being exposed. He asked the audience if they were aware what the popular game Grand Theft Auto was all about. When the response came back ‘stealing cars’ Davis explained. “It’s stealing cars, doing narcotics, hiring sex workers, killing the sex workers and killing police officers,” he said. “And we wonder why we have issues with violence against women. We’re not paying attention.” Read the game reviews, he advised parents, and respect the age ratings. When it comes to wireless networks and WIFI routers, Davis suggests using routers that are current because as the device gets older potential vulnerabilities get exposed on the Internet for people to exploit. The router should have a strong password that is 16 characters or more and one person should be in charge of the password. If your children would like to connect, take their device and enter the password in and hand it back, suggests Davis. An app-enabled router will allow for time restrictions on all devices connected to it. Among Davis’ other tips: • Always make sure devices are password
protected and make passwords longer than four digits and even include words. • What you should never post on Facebook: your date of birth or that of family members, your current location, home alone status, pictures of your children with their name tagged, relationship status and vacation plans. • Remove geo-tagging photos to ensure would-be criminals cannot identify your location. A three-minute video is available at snstips.com/removing-geo-tagging-from-yourmobile-device/. • Avoid phishing scams. If you suspect an email is phishing, delete it, report if to the email provider and manually log into the website to see if any action is really required from you. “If it doesn’t look right, it probably isn’t,” said Davis. • Apple has free seminars and useful information at its stores. Visit apple.com/ca/retail/ learn to find out more. • There are free anti-virus software applications for your Windows PC. Visit download. com for more info. • There are parental controls parents can be using on ipods, iphones and ipods. From the device go to settings, general, restrictions.

Lots of mice mean lots of owls Lifestyle - Each Tuesday I lead a bird walk for students. We start at dawn on the Carleton University campus and from there either go to Brewer Park or to the Fletcher Wildlife Centre across the Rideau Canal. The latter has terrific birdfeeders and on a recent visit there, Blackcapped Chickadees and House Finches greeted us upon arrival. Then a student excitedly yelled out: “Barred Owl!” To our delight, one of these beautiful birds was sitting in plain view in a tall spruce behind the feeder. The morning was quite cold and the owl sat there half asleep, basking in the warmth of the rising sun. Eventually several crows flew over and one sharpeyed individual spotted the owl. It cawed a few times, and then
swooped down and landed about a metre from the owl. It brazenly leaned forward and screamed crow obscenities at the owl. The owl barely opened an eye, and eventually its tormentor tired of its game and flew away. We also left, but I returned later to find the owl still there, basking in the sun with eyes closed. I suspect it was well fed for the distinctive tracks of White-footed or Deer mice (these species of Peromyscus are virtually identical) – its main prey - adorned the snow everywhere. Many readers are aware of the abundance of mice this winter, a reflection of last year’s exceptional seed crops. Small mammals produce more young and have more litters in years of high food abundance. Because of this, their populations rise quickly, and in a
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way couple of years mice can go from being very scarce to being abundant. As a result of this year’s large population, certain owls are here in large numbers. Barred Owls nest locally, but in years of low food supply they move south. This year many remained behind and bird counts this winter have recorded higher than usual numbers of them. Other species such as Northern Saw-whet Owl are also being reported in good numbers. Peter and Tracey Rossol recently sent me a photo of a Long-eared Owl encountered in their backyard in Arnprior. This uncommon species is highly secretive and thus is rarely recorded
Peromyscus mice are abundant this winter, which is good news for owls and other predators.

Barred Owls, like this one near Carleton University, are a common sight this winter. in our area. I suspect more could be present, as one was also seen on the Boxing Day Bird Count. Both sightings are undoubtedly due to the abundance of mice. Large numbers of Peromyscus mice may result in larger numbers of woodland owls, but their abundance doesn’t really affect Snowy Owls or Red-tailed and Rough-legged hawks. Those predatory birds hunt in open fields where mice seldom venture. In that terrain Meadow Voles rule

supreme. Those short-tailed rodents also go through dynamic population cycles, but they seem to be at a low this winter as there is a lack of predatory birds hunting in local fields. If you want to see an owl, in the early morning look carefully at forest edges where they might be basking. Or listen for jays or crows voicing their displeasure when they come across one of these majestic hunters of the night. The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Other cash prizes can be won by contestants who choose to reduce their smoking by half, refrain from smoking when drinking alcohol or stay smoke-free. The contest is open to Ontario young adults between the ages of 18-29 and registered students at publicly-funded Ontario universities and colleges. TWO CAMPAIGNS
This year, both campaigns are “wonderful opportunities” to quit smoking or tobacco use, says the health unit. The wouldurather contest provides all contestants with motivational emails and support from a buddy and Driven to Quit offers an online quit centre and access to Canadian Cancer Society’s Smokers’ Helpline. Tobacco remains the leading cause
of preventable death and disease in Ontario, killing 13,000 people annually or 36 people a day. On average, it can take 30 times to quit successfully. However, accessing quit smoking services and supports can help increase a smoker’s chance of becoming tobacco-free. Registration for Leave The Pack Behind’s wouldurather contest is open until this Sunday, Jan. 25 and the Canadian Cancer Society’s Driven to Quit challenge is open for registration until Feb. 28. Information and registration for the Driven to Quit Challenge can be accessed at www.DrivenToQuit.ca , and the wouldurather contest can be accessed at www.wouldurather.ca. For more information on local quit smoking supports and services available, contact the Renfrew County and District Health Unit at 1-800-2671097, ext. 666.
No ifs or butts: 12 tips to help you go smoke-free Lifestyle - There are two million smokers in Ontario and more than a million of them want to quit. As this week (Jan. 19-25) is National Non-Smoking Week, it’s a great time to break free from the vicelike grip of nicotine addiction once and for all. And if you don’t make it this time, don’t give up. Most former smokers tried multiple times before they were successful. Here are some tips to help you kick those butts for good. 1. Write down all the reasons you want to quit (e.g., health, financial benefits). 2. List the things you like about smoking. 3. List the things you don’t like about smoking. 4. Learn from previous attempts to quit – what worked, what didn’t and why did you start smoking again? 5. Track your smoking routine for a few days – when, where and why you smoked, how strong was the craving. Write down the ‘triggers’ that start you smoking, then list coping strategies that can help you avoid or delay lighting up. 6. Ask your health-care provider about products that can help you quit, such as nicotine replacement therapy (e.g., nicotine patch) or prescription medications. 7. Call the Lung Association Lung Health Information Line: 1-888-344LUNG (5864) or email info@on.lung.
ca for information and support. You can also order free resources like the popular Journey 2 Quit workbook. 8. When setting a quit date, choose a time when things are not too stressful. 9. Tell your friends and family you are quitting and ask for their support. Ask them not to smoke around you. 10. Just before you quit, throw out all cigarettes, ashtrays and lighters. Gather helpful items that can distract you from your cravings, such as a water bottle and sugar-free gum. 11. On your quit date, keep your hands, mouth and mind busy – use a stress ball, do a puzzle, chew gum or a straw, eat healthy snacks. Physical exercise is a great way to reduce your cravings and reinforce your commitment to the new healthy lifestyle. 12. If you are not successful this time, try again when you are ready. Quitting will be difficult now and it will be difficult a year from now – so why not try now!
Arnprior mom reason family supports Alzheimer Society’s Walk News - Kat Clarida and her family will be remembering her mom by being flamboyant, goofy and fun as they participate at the Alzheimer Society’s Walk for Memories fundraiser this Sunday, Jan. 25. They know their efforts will help provide the support and education that are so needed by families facing dementia. Thelma Elizabeth Clarida of Arnprior had a million dollar smile. She was a registered nurse who raised eight children. She was a vibrant, intelligent, loving wife, mother and grandmother. All that was taken away from her when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Over the next 15 years, she would slowly deteriorate into a mere shadow of her former self until her death in 2011, at age 83. After her husband died, Thelma had moved from Sault Ste. Marie to Arnprior in order to be closer to her three daughters who lived in the Ottawa area. She was actively involved in her community and felt energized by the small-town atmosphere. However, according to daughter, Kat Clarida, “although she was still highly functional,
we started noticing puzzling signs which raised alarm bells.â€? Kat recalled how her mother carried a card with her name and address written on it; she wrote notes to herself listing her children’s names and which grandchild belonged to whom. Then, one day, things came to a head when she could not find her way home. That’s when Kat decided that her mother should live with her. Soon afterwards, she took her to the Bruyère Memory Disorder Clinic where the Alzheimer diagnosis was confirmed. According to Kat, it was a heartbreaking moment when her mother had to be placed in a long-term care facility, where she spent her last five years. “One of the worst frustrations was not understanding this disease, not knowing how to care for her ourselves,â€? says Kat. “This is such a dreadful illness, the number of persons affected is horrendous, and it’s only getting worseâ€?. Shockingly, the family was faced with another tragedy when Kat’s stepchildren’s mother was also diagnosed with dementia. Her stepdaughter, Erica Ryan, told Kat about the services offered by the Alzheimer Society
of Ottawa and Renfrew County, and suggested they put together a team to participate in the Walk for Memories, the society’s major annual fundraiser. Their team, called Mom’s the Word, raised over $1,000 that first year. “We loved the walk,� says Kat. “The venue is a wonderful, fun space; there is something for everyone.� Kat’s stepdaughters took their mom who enjoyed walking to the music and danced the entire time she was there. Kat and her sisters, Gwen and Ruth, wrote her mom’s story and put her picture up on the special photo wall made available for that purpose. “It was particularly heart-warming seeing so many people stop by and stare at all those photos,� she said. The family intends to continue participating in the walk. This year, they will dress up in the two moms’ signature colours of red and purple. “We’re going for flamboyant, goofy and fun,� says Kat. “Mom was the TM most positive person we ever

Arnprior Chrysler sold on value of Neighbourlink Fountain Arnprior Chrysler owner Mike Mulder, second from right, presents $4,600 to the Arnprior and District Neighbourlink Fountain, the proceeds of a December promotion in support of the church-run community life centre. Arnprior Chrysler pledged $200 for every vehicle sold in December to the multi-purpose drop-in centre in the old Alexander Reid school on Mary Street. “Use it wherever it is needed in the community,” said Mulder. Accepting the donation are Neighbourlink resource officer Chris Juhasz (left), board chairman Robert Jones and Fountain co-ordinator Anne Montgomery. “Thank you, thank you, thank you,” said Montgomery, explaining the donation will go toward upkeep of the building and programs. Workshops and classes at the facility, from nutrition and knitting to budgeting and stress management, provide practical benefits to people taking them, she noted. Impressed by a tour of the facility, Mulder said Arnprior Chrysler is open to participating in future promotions to support the centre as part of its ongoing community involvement.

In the food bank we trust The staff at the TD Canada Trust branch in Arnprior donated $900 to the Arnprior District Food Bank last week. Branch manager Regine Verdon, left, and Theresa Landon present the cheque to food bank president Kathy Tonkin, right. Landon was the catalyist behind the fundraising efforts at the branch, which included book sales and dress-down days, as well as direct staff and customer contributions. TD Canada Trust also kicked in with a $250 corporate donation. Tonkin said some of the money will go to help the food bank buy perishables to ensure children have access to fresh, healthy food.

It is a mistake to think that charitable gifting is only for people at a certain income level. Anyone can leave a charitable gift from their estate, regardless of the size of the estate.

and will benefit many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfillment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefits which are worth considering.
Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it. Leaving a legacy gift in your Will is a great way to give back to the community without having to compromise your time.

Have you tried hearing aids before but didn’t like the plugged up feeling? You will be amazed at how comfortable and natural sounding they are. After a few minutes, you will not even notice that you are wearing them. Never before have hearing aids been this comfortable and easy to adapt to.
Are they visible? With only very thin tubing going into your ears, most people will not notice that you are wearing hearing aids. What they will notice is how well you are hearing.

Neat Cafe team expanding horizons to launch North on 29 Tara Gesner
tgesner@PerfPrint.ca
News - Two McNab-Braeside entrepreneurs are taking their formula for live music success to a 150-year-old barn north of Carleton Place. The principals in the Neat Cafe in Burnstown are opening the area’s newest live music and events location – North on 29. “It’s a fantastic spot for concerts, private functions, meetings and more,” said Neat Cafe general manager Tori Arsenault. “It was immediately obvious when we came in that it was a fantastic space,” added owner Adam McKinty. Arsenault and McKinty are business partners in North on 29, located on Hwy. 29 in the Appleton area between Almonte and Carleton Place. They officially occupied the space last September. A soft opening – open house – takes place at the venue today (Thursday) from 4 to 8 p.m. “We want people to come out and see the space,” Arsenault said. “We will be selling tickets to upcoming shows and taking room bookings (parties, weddings and more) too.” The Neat Coffee Shop roasts its own coffee, with some being brought to the open house for people to sample. McKinty and Arsenault are no strangers to running a live-music venue. McKinty has owned the Neat Coffee Shop in Burnstown,
another performance venue, for the past six years. Arsenault is the general manager. “We have a music venue in the back and café in the front,” McKinty said. “We’ve probably held 300 plus shows there.” The Neat Coffee Shop has boasted The Proclaimers, The Trews, Leon Russell, Jeff Martin of the Tea Party, Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea, Crash Test Dummies, Michelle Wright and Alex Cuba, to name a few. Bringing much to the partnership, “we work off each other,” Arsenault said. “Where I have no experience, Tori has experience, and where she has less experience, I have experience,” McKinty said. He added one person couldn’t do this alone. “Luckily, we are both tenacious and do-ityourselfers, which is required,” McKinty continued. “You need to do a lot of sweating.” Over a quarter century, the North on 29 site has housed a trio of restaurants: Kelly’s Loft, The Barn and Jerseys Bar and Grill. It has been vacant for a while. “Yes, we walked in here thinking why is this empty,” Arsenault continued. She highlighted the venue’s historic character – wood beam construction and huge fireplace – and great acoustics. Almonte’s Ken Friesen, “a treasure in terms of sound production,” McKinty noted, has conducted sound testing at the facility. “Ken said it was very good news,” he said. A successful live music venue is one where musicians enjoy performing and where guests
North on 29 opens later this month, complementing Neat Cafe in Burnstown. enjoy hanging out. “North on 29 is a two-phase project,” Arsenault explained. With room for 135 people, upstairs is an event space, presenting concerts in an intimate setting and offering locally sourced meals and beverages before the show. “Dinner is extra,” Arsenault explained, with a set menu prior to the performance. “People can call for reservations.”

“We have a chef in place that is very excited to help us out here,” she added, “and she’s exceptional.” As an incentive, concertgoers can choose their seat if they come to dinner. “Dinner isn’t required, however,” McKinty stressed. “If you just want to come to the show, come to the show.” See LIVE MUSIC, page 19

Live music fest for Burnstown Continued from page 18
North on 29 will be licensed. “We want everyone to have a good time, but it’s not going to be the place to come and get blitzed,” McKinty said. He noted the price point for concerts will vary, “depending on the performer.” “Don’t expect it to be less than $10 to get in,” he said, “and we will get artists who demand over $100.” Most likely shows will run between $30 and $50. “Downstairs is stage two,” Arsenault said. “That will come late summer or early fall, with the amount of work needed,” “It will be more pub style, with a daily menu,” she added. Upcoming shows
North on 29 has booked its first three shows: The Good Brothers this Saturday, Jan. 24 ($35 tickets); Hawksley Workman on Saturday, Jan. 31 ($60 tickets); and The Sadies on Thursday, Feb. 12 ($30 tickets). “The Good Brothers were really popular in the late ‘70s,” McKinty said. “They are on the edge of country.” Because the group spends a lot of time in the area, they have a good following, Arsenault noted. “They’ve played a ton of festivals and fairs,” she said. Workman is a songwriter, producer, singer, multi instrumentalist, actor, and author. “He’s one of Canada’s most talented musicians,” McKinty said. “Those tickets are selling briskly.” The Sadies style of music is uniquely their own. “They rock,” McKinty said. North on 29 promises a variety of performers and genres – from recital to rock. “No one will be excluded from coming to see a show,” McKinty said. “Adam has built great relationships with agency groups dealing with music,” Arsenault said. “They are pretty excited to work with us.” Shows begin at 8 p.m. Doors for seat selection open at 7:30 p.m.

– is planned for Sept. 25-27 in Burnstown, a stone’s throw from the Neat Coffee Shop. “Our neighbor has a clearing to fit about 12,000 people,” McKinty said. The festival, which is in support of the Neat Coffee Shop and North on 29, will centre around roots music – from rock ‘n’ roll to folk. Arsenault said the festival’s lineup has not been finalized. Neat in the Woods tickets (single day or three day passes) are available at www.neatfood.com. For more information about North on 29 or to purchase tickets to upcoming shows, visit www. northon29.com. What’s more, browse the venue’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Nor thon29. Arsenault said everyone is talking about North on 29’s opening. “People know it as the old barn, they’ve visited for a special event,” she continued. “Hopefully, we can bring that back for people,” McKinty said. “People are really curious,” he added, “stopping by and coming right in.” Arsenault has received nothing but pleasant emails from residents, people inquiring about wedding receptions, etc. “The town (Mississippi Mills) has been wonderful to work with, offering advice,” she said. “Mostly, they are excited someone is in here.” McKinty noted fire chief Pascal Meunier has been really responsive, and noted, “it was a treat when he visited because that hasn’t been my experience elsewhere.”

Pakenham Frost Festival to celebrate winter for next two weeks Community – The 50th Pakenham Frost Festival is gearing up for the weekends of Jan. 2324 all the way through to Jan. 31. It always was a two-week event and in order to provide an opportunity for more people to take part, the festivities have returned to a twoweekend format, with some events on weeknights. Why not? It’s winter and Pakenham is celebrating it. Pakenham is well placed to enjoy the winter offerings – the Pakenham Ski Hill, Stewart Community Centre ice surface and upper hall, Pakenham Public School, Love that Barr, St. Mark’s Anglican Church, St. Andrew’s United Church, and Pakenham Curling Club are all involved in hosting one or more winter-warming event. The Frost Fest, sponsored by the Pakenham and District Civitan Club, is celebrating its 50th anniversary but locals say it took place as a local winter carnival for many years before that. That’s why a community builder is always acknowledged for his or her contributions. This year, on Jan. 30, the appreciation ceremonies and O’ Canada will take place at 8 p.m. on centre ice at the Stewart Community Centre. The guest will be John Ryan, well-known in the Pakenham community for his many years of
working at the Stewart Community Centre, icemaking and coaching hockey and baseball. The ceremony will take place before the Jr. B hockey game between the Almonte Thunder and Arnprior Packers. Traditional Frost Festival activities also include a Kid’s Movie Night at Pakenham School and six-hand euchre at the Anglican church on Thursday, Jan. 22 and on Friday, Jan. 23, races, skating, and Little Miss and Mister Pakenham from 7:30 to 9 p.m., at the Stewart Community Centre ice surface. Also, on Friday, Jan. 23, a first this year, a Dueling Piano Evening with Dave Kalil takes place at the Stewart Community Centre upper hall. In order to warm up the crowd, a wine and beer tasting SideBar will take place 8 to 9 p.m. A local sommelier and the Whitewater Brewing Company will be offering up several products for tasting and comparing for a small fee. Entertainment starts at 9 p.m. On Saturday, Jan. 24, the Frost Festival annual pancake breakfast runs from 7-11 a.m. in the upper hall of the community centre. Local Ottawa Valley musicians will be headed up by Jenny Watters and her talented family and friends. After you eat, take in the Snowmobile Rally
beginning with the 9 a.m. registration at the fire hall across the street. And for those with energy remaining by nightfall, Mount Pakenham is hosting a 2-1 night – a great chance to get back on the hill with your family. On Sunday, Jan. 25, St. Mark’s Anglican Church will host an Ecumenical church service and lunch beginning at 11 a.m. A small walk down the hill will bring you to the Vintage Snowmobile Show from 1 to 3 p.m. at the ball diamond where barbecued hotdogs and hot chocolate will be available. In week two, there will be a bingo Jan. 28 at Pakenham Public School; four-hand euchre on Thursday, Jan. 29 at Love that Barr; the AllYou-Can-Eat Fish and Chip Dinner in the upper hall of the community centre; and a new event for the Frost Festival, Another Peek at the Past Pakenham Pop-up Museum, also in the upper hall until 9 p.m.
Saturday, Jan. 31 brings the excitement to a high pitch with a Tobogganing Party from noon to 3 p.m. at Pakenham Highlands Golf Course; an all-day Fishing Derby with weigh-in at the 5 Span Feed & Seed, at 3 p.m. sharp; and the most anticipated Frost Festival Pub Night featuring Yuk Yuk’s Jen Grant and the Ryans music to get people hopping. It’s being held once again in the upper hall along with the infamous cake auction by John O’Neill. While the Pakenham and District Civitan Club hosts and plans the festival, many, many hands go into running each event. In 2014, organizers calculated there were more than 100 volunteers and more than 500 hours involved in all activities. This year they anticipate even more. They acknowledge the generous support from the businesses in the village and surrounding areas for making the event so successful year after year.

One thing we know from talking to foster parents is that most people become foster parents after hearing first hand of another foster parent's experience. It's a great message, and shows how rewarding fostering can be for parents and children alike. “Fostering has enriched us and our children in ways we could not imagine it would,” says one couple who have been fostering for 15 years. “It's the greatest thing we have ever done as a whole family,” adds another family, who have biological children as well. “If you are a person on this earth, you can do it! It's not about us; it's about the children we can help. I wish everyone could foster for one year so that children in need would never have to look for a family.” For information about foster care, please contact the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa at 613-742-1620 ext. 1 or visit www.casott.on.ca.

August 18, 1959 – January 22, 2011 To a loving husband, father and grandfather No words we write can ever say, How much we miss you every day, As time goes by, the loneliness grows; How much we miss you nobody knows. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, But all we have are memories, And a photo in a frame. No one knows our sorrow, No one sees us weep, But the love we have for you, In in our hearts to keep. We have never stopped loving you, I’m sure we never will; Deep within our hearts, He is with us still. Always by our side We love you Jim Sue, Steve, Megan, Andy, Lauren, and precious grandchildren Mackenzie and James

In loving memory of Peggy Leclair who passed away January 20, 2014: You’re not forgotten, Mother dear, Nor ever shall you be As long as life and memory last, We will remember thee. No one knows the silent heartaches, Only those who have lost can tell Of the grief that’s borne in silence For the one we loved so well.
We took our vows together, Said ‘til death do us part, But when God came and took your hand, My whole world fell apart. No one knows the heartache, I try so hard to hide, Only God knows how many times, I’ve broken down and cried. When I look back upon our lives, One thing that makes me glad, Is that you chose me to share with you, The precious years we had.
Always remembered Always loved Forever in our hearts Miss you both, Steve, Patricia, Corey, Cody and Kelsie

Seniors at Home
Community - After taking a break during December, the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home’s education program, Breakfast N’ Learn, is back in the New Year commencing on Wednesday, Jan. 28. Ben McNeely, CPA, accompanied by associate, Dean Ryan, of Kelly Huibers McNeely Professional Corporation (KHMPC) Chartered Accountants will be the guest speakers. With income tax time just around the corner, here is an opportunity for you to learn more about the following topics: Pension splitting, OAS clawback, Trillium benefits, tax implications on death, disability benefits, medical expenses and donations (particularly the benefit of donating shares). McNeely joined KHMPC in 2002 to lead the implementation of the commercial accounting and auditing software (Caseware) in order to improve the efficiency and quality of audit and review engagements. Today, he brings a decade of assurance experience, as well as corporate and personal taxation to the benefit of his clients at KHMPC. Before joining KHMPC, he worked with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and managed audit engagements for small and large not-forprofit organizations including the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) and Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). “We (ABMSH) are very pleased and honoured to have Mr. McNeely join us,” said Seniors at Home development co-ordinator Liz Wall. “We are thankful for his time and his knowledge of personal taxation is invaluable to us and our friends who will be attending the Breakfast N’ Learn.” Breakfast N’ Learn takes place at the Galilee Centre. Registration is at 8:30 a.m., followed by a buffet style breakfast at 9 a.m., then guest speakers McNeely and Ryan. The morning is scheduled to be completed before 11 a,m. Cost is $4 per person payable the morning of the breakfast. There is limited seating, so you are requested to register by noon on Tuesday, Jan. 27 by calling ABMSH at 613-623-7981 or drop in at 106 McGonigal St. West, Unit 1, Arnprior. Breakfast N’ Learn is presented by ABMSH the fourth Wednesday of each month and sponsored in part by Tierney & Stauffer, LLP, Arn-

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual for Cecilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old Collie to appear at the Northcote School. Often we would come out of the school, and see him sitting on the step waiting for Cecil. As far as Cecil was concerned Sport (it seemed to me back then that everyone had a dog called Sport) could do no wrong. Well, that day Sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner was not at all pleased! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Git,â&#x20AC;? Cecil yelled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Git home with you.â&#x20AC;? Well, it seemed Sport knew an order from his owner when he heard it. But instead of going out to the gate by the path, he took another cut around the yard, with his belly close

to the ground, and whatever was left of the big wheel in the snow was gone forever. Cecil and my brother Emerson went and hung from the gate, which had been opened, and it would stay that way for the rest of the winter. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too disappointed in the turn of events, because I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run fast enough through the deep snow to avoid being caught, and all the time we played the game, I never once was the chaser in snow tag. It remained clear and cold for days, and the mutilated wheel did little to make Cecil or Emerson any more easy to get along with. They mostly hung out at the gate at recess and lunch time, and days later Velma said she knew for a fact Sport was kept in the cow byre, as the two boys waited patiently for another heavy snowfall.

Winter carnival comes to Arnprior
PHIL MOORE/Submitted

Saturday night’s sliding party offered -20C reasons not to participate, but that didn’t stop kids from zooming down Havey’s Hill (more photos page 34-35).
Smiles and hugs were a big part of the Optimist Winter Carnival for Tori Chartrand, left, Lilly Desjardins, and little Chelsea Chartrand. The girls and many others packed the Nick Smith Hall last Thursday night to play on bouncy structures and many other fun activities. Meanwhile, below, skaters gave it their all during the on-ice competitions. Even the Saturday evening trivia night was a huge success.

Far right, 10-year-old Abby Patrois created this year’s Optimist Winter Carnival pin. When she learned the pin would be fashioned after her own design, ‘I was so excited,’ she said.

Bikes, sleds, skates: carnival had it all Right, Jean-Guy Beaudry pretends to careen into the crowd atop his tall unicycle, nicknamed Giraffe, during the Optimist’s Winter Carnival Saturday. The juggler and entertainer extraordinaire kept the crowd glued to his antics. The day’s events also included a shanty breakfast, children’s entertainment and music by Kyle Felhaver and friends. Above centre, students from area schools had bucketfuls of fun at this year’s on-ice competition last Thursday. The Nick Smith Centre was truly hopping with excitement and civic pride. Left, a hot chocolate and a bonfire helps stave off the bitter cold during the Optimist Winter Carnival’s sledding party Saturday evening. Those who did brave the cold certainly seemed to enjoy themselves. The only negative was a mess on Havey’s Hill left by some unknowns persons. The Optimists would like to find out who the culprits were. On a happier note, spokesman Wes Schnob issued a big Optimists thank you to all their supporters, helpers and members for putting the carnival together and added a huge thank you to Cavanaugh Construction for the big bank of lights to light up the sliding hill.

Legion magazine always an interesting read Janet Tobio
Arnprior Legion
Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the Legion Magazine or for those who have not had a chance to read theirs, this week Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to bring a few articles to your attention. The magazine is received by all members of the Legion several times a year. It is full of information as well as interesting articles of yesterday, today and tomorrow, events concerning the Legion, veterans and Canadian Forces. Do you know the story behind the famous picture, now a Canadian coin, of the little boy trying to march to the Second World War with his father? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;wait for me daddyâ&#x20AC;? little boy in the picture grew up and joined the army as well. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new research on PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and TBI (traumatic
brain injury) using a new type of scan (MEG) which would make a diagnosis much quicker based on objective measurers rather than having a soldier self-identify. The Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stands for all veterans by providing help with claims, representation and advocacy. Helping veterans
The Legion is the only veterans group mandated by legislation to provide assistance with applications for benefits for Veterans Affairs Canada. Arnprior Branch #174 supports a Service Officer who assists many veterans or spouses each month. The Legion supports a means of transportation for veterans and spouses who require assistance. Call the Legion if we can be of help. Funeral and Burial Program
â&#x20AC;&#x201C; effective April 2014 there have been major improvements for assistance with veterans funerals. The question of earned military medals is at the forefront again. Can anyone who can procure them, wear them? Is it ok to sell medals? The Canadian Forces Canex is in the process of setting up a boutique in their stores on the training bases, and will carry many of the Legion items they have in their warehouse, magazine and on line. Tours are being planned to Vimy in April and to Holland in May to celebrate their 70th anniversary of Liberation. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more and more. Hope something twicked your interest and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy your magazine. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always one available at the Legion, so drop in, have a visit and read on. R0022514627

physical skill acquisition, physical fitness, social skill development, decision marking, knowledge and understanding, and a true and lasting appreciation of physical activity. The FUNdamentals program is intended as a vehicle for fostering and developing improved social, physical, and cognitive abilities of young athletes, and building the foundation for future sports success. We wish to introduce development and fundamental movement skills. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a wonderful opportunity for participants to interact with peers in a fun environment while learning and improving upon basic motor skills. As well, both children and caregivers will be educated about nutrition and the importance of a balanced lifestyle, which will help them stay healthy throughout their lives.
Program runs from 6:30pm to 7:30pm but doors open from 6:15pm to 7:45pm Free play time before and after each session. Cost: $50.00 per athlete for the 8 week program - snacks will be included. Please make all cheques out to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Special Olympics Ontarioâ&#x20AC;? Note: All athletes must fill out â&#x20AC;&#x153;Athlete Registration Formâ&#x20AC;? prior to the program. This is a one time form, with the athlete then being registered with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Special Olympics Ontarioâ&#x20AC;?

The symptoms, causes and relief of indigestion Ian Harris
Weight management, wellness and nutrition
Opinion – Dyspepsia (indigestion) is a common condition and usually describes a group of symptoms rather than one predominant symptom. These symptoms of indigestion may include: Abdominal pain, allergic symptoms, belching, a bloated felling, a burning sensation after eating, chronic bowel irritation, chronic fatigue, constipation and/or diarrhea, insomnia, joint
and muscle pain, nausea, rumbling noises in the tummy, skin disorders, sugar cravings, and vomiting. Heartburn often accompanies indigestion. Eating too much to often may trigger symptoms of indigestion, the discomfort may begin during the meal, other times about half an hour later. It tends to come and go in spurts over a period of time. If you suffer from indigestion, you’re not alone. Roughly 25 per cent of the population is affected and it hits men and women equally.
Fair board’s euchre series starts Saturday Community – The annual euchre series hosted by the Arnprior Agricultural Society begins this Saturday, Jan. 24. The four Saturdays (last Saturday of each month) of four-hand euchre will be
played at the Arnprior Legion with registration starting at noon and the games at 1 p.m. A total of $700 in prizes will be awarded each Saturday. Proceeds go toward enhancing the Arnprior Fair.
The monthly tournament will feature two-person teams playing eight games. A light lunch will be provided. The subsequent dates are Feb. 28, March 28 and April 25.
Corbin wins ‘Last Train’ Perreault print in ACW draw quilt), Debbie Gravelle (Graco baby doll set and accessories) and Judy Farrell ($50 gift certificate at Metro, which she donated to the Arnprior District Food Bank). The Anglican Church Women thank all those who bought tickets.

tables and grains are broken down in the mouth by enzymes and proteins like dairy products, eggs, meat fish, seafood and poultry are broken down in the stomach by hydrochloric acid. The problem with poor digestion is the lack of nutrients being absorbed by our bodies. There are many reasons for this depletion of enzymes or acid in our system. As we age, especially for those of us over the age 50, our production of theses enzmes or acids can start to deplete. Taking supplements like Betaine Hydrochloric Acid commonly referred to Hydrochloric Acid or HCL can help with the digestion of proteins and an Enzyme supplement can help with the digestion of carbohydrates. Probiotics can help replenish good gut flora and a lactase supplements can help in the digestion of just dairy products. These supplements, although safe, should not be taken without the supervision of a registered nutritionist to avoid any further discomfort. Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach, certified wellness coach and personal chef. He holds many other certifications and specializes in lifestyle and weight management.

It’s responsible for a significant percentage of visits to your family physician because many people worry they might have an ulcer. It’s a reasonable concern, given that 10 per cent of those with indigestion develop a peptic ulcer at some time in their lives. Some tips to help manage indigestion: • wait two hours after eating before lying down; • get enough rest – a tired body cannot digest foods efficiently; • keep your weight under control – an overweight body cannot digest foods efficiently; • try eating smaller, more frequent meals and be sure to chew food slowly and completely • avoid foods that trigger symptoms such as spicy foods, processed foods, oily or fatty foods, wheat, dairy products, animal proteins • avoid activities that result in swallowing excess air such as smoking, eating quickly, chewing gum, and drinking carbonated beverages; • reduce your stress. Try relaxation therapies, cognitive behavioural therapy, or exercise. An aerobic workout 3-5 times per week can help, but don’t exercise right after eating. Simply stated, carbohydrates like fruit, vege-

Arts – Canadian heavy metal legends Anvil will be playing Arnprior on Friday, Jan. 30. The band, on tour to promote its latest album ‘Hope in Hell’ will take to the stage of the John St. Pub in downtown Arnprior in the late evening. The 2009 documentary ‘Anvil: The Story Of Anvil’ has made them famous after they spent seemingly endless years of energy-sapping tours de force marked by dismal organizational conditions. The Toronto-based band has been around since 1978. A news release detailing the tour says their albums “are considered as landmarks among a musical genre that is otherwise successively losing its identity.” Guitarist/ vocalist Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow, drummer

Sports - The Arnprior Bluefish Swim Club (ABSC) is off to a great start for the 2014-15 season. This year the club welcomed many new and existing members to its competitive and pre-competitive swim teams. The coaches and ABSC executive are pleased to have so many great swimmers interested in the sport on the team this year. If interested in learning more, visit arnpriorbluefish.net. In November, the Bluefish competitive team competed in the Go-Carling Animal Hospital Invite at the University of Ottawa and the Cornwall Sea Lions meet. The team excelled in the pool during both meets. At the Cornwall meet, the local swimmers had 83 personal best times out of 101 events. Special mention goes out to the following swimmers who achieved at least one regional qualifying time: Matthew Hebert, Lauren Herter, Mason Kenny, Rylee Moffatt, Cameron Sheppard, Alex Wroe, Zach Wroe and Dani Wybou. The following swimmers have qualified for regionals, achieving at least three qualifying times: Mason Kenny, Rylee Moffatt, Cameron Sheppard and Alex Wroe. All team members participated in the ABSC annual Christmas Fun Meet on Wednesday, Dec. 17. This was a great experience for new swimmers as it is structured just like a sanctioned meet. Members of the Greyfish and the Redfish were also invited to come and race with the team. On Dec. 18, parents and family members were invited to join the team at the first ‘Parent’s Night in the Pool’. Fun was had by all during both events. Next on the agenda was the Mike Brown Invitational, in which the competitive team participated Jan. 11. Swimmers who have achieved three regional times will be attending the EOSA Short Course Regionals in Belleville at the end of the month. Go Bluefish go!

Lazar surprises atom team with hockey sticks Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Sports – A young hockey hero recently paid a surprise visit to a team of nine- and 10-yearolds, and he brought gifts. Curtis Lazar, NHL rookie and captain of Canada’s 2015 gold medal-winning junior team, listened at the door of a Pakenham atom team’s dressing room on Friday evening. He heard the whoops of joy when the kids were told the Ottawa Senator forward was coming in. Lazar said he was just as excited to surprise the Mississippi Thunder Kings as they were to meet him. “I’m all fired up,” said Lazar, beaming from ear to ear at delighted parents and media members. He must have been very excited because the kids almost leapt on him, touching and hugging and pummeling him with questions at the Bauer-organized event. “Did you bring your medal?” “Can you sign my helmet.” “Can you pass the puck to me?” “You’re pretty much rich.” Known as the full package, an exceptional player and teammate on ice and an affable and polite young man off the ice, Lazar gently settled the children down by asking a few
that win.” More screaming and general pandemonium ensued. The next 20 minutes had Lazar handing out sticks, signing autographs for everyone who asked, and doing interviews. He even signed a kid’s crushed pop can. “That should be worth five cents now,” he said, Derek Dunn/Metroland laughing. Curtis Lazar is virtually attacked by a gang of kids at the rink in Paken- In an exclusive ham. He surprised the Mississippi Mills atom team with hockey sticks with Metroland Media East, the and participated in their practice on Jan. 16. rising star was asked who he would have wanted to visit his questions. He guided them around to their recent over- atom dressing room. The Vernon, B.C. native time tournament loss. Then he said maybe next recalled fond memories of travelling to Vantime they will do better with the new Bauer Va- couver once a year to watch the Colorado Avalanche, specifically team captain Joe Sakic. por 1X sticks he brought. “He was just such a complete player, and a “On behalf of myself and Bauer I got something for you so next time maybe you can get class act off ice,” Lazar said. “’Burnaby Joe’
The captain of the 2015 World Junior championship team eagerly awaits his chance to surprise the kids. – that’s what everybody in B.C. called him. He had one of the best wrist shots in the game.” Lazar, who lives in Kanata, speaks with all the enthusiasm of a kid even as he transitions into one of the most exclusive and physical sports leagues in the world. When asked about his favourite on-ice moment, he blurted out a series of moments. Obvious ones included the recent World Junior championship victory, the Memorial Cup, his first NHL game. But he also added, as if it came as a shock even to himself, “I played against Sidney Crosby! It’s amazing” See HOCKEY, page 45

Special Olympics Arnprior Axemen goaltender Doug McNulty, left, Kenny Johnston and Jonathon Scobie enjoy a breather between games following the Axemen’s 5-1 win over Kingston in Special Olympics floor hockey action at the Arnprior District High School gymnasium Jan. 10.
Jane Dowd is joined by Axemen member Brad Janoska during a break in the action. Dowd sold 50-50 draw tickets for Special Olympics floor hockey during the tournament. She had to sell $300 worth because of a pledge she has made to participate in the ‘Freezin’ for a Reason’ polar bear plunge Feb. 21 at TD Place Stadium, home of the Ottawa RedBlacks. “Every penny goes to the Special Olympics provincial floor hockey (finals) in Ottawa in May,” noted Dowd, who at last count was number six on the list of top fundraisers. The Arnprior Axemen, in white, battle around “I’m not practicing, trust me,” she added the Kingston goal crease during Special Olym- of her upcoming polar bear plunge.” For pics floor hockey tournament action Jan. 10 at more on the fundraiser, Google ‘Ottawa Arnprior District High School. Polar Plunge’.
Hockey community a family to Curtis Lazar Continued from page 44
It all feeds into Lazar’s deep sense of gratitude. He knows he is among the fortunate few; that every kid on the pond dreams of playing in the NHL; that he was blessed with talent and enjoys hard work; that he owes much to the sport. So when asked to explain hockey to nonhockey people, Lazar doesn’t hesitate. “It’s a family. That’s what the hockey community is – a family,” he said. “We come together across Canada, even if you aren’t a hockey fan you are part of it. It teaches life lessons about overcoming adversity, teamwork and that. It makes you the person you are. Hockey’s
been everything to me.” Lazar’s NHL debut hasn’t quite lived up to the hype. He struggled to score his first goal, then the second. But making it to the top level in any sport is a major achievement. Everyone in the league was probably the best player in their hometown. Now they play against each other, and one-time minor hockey superstars find themselves on the fourth line. “A lot goes into playing in the NHL,” he said. “There’s a real pecking order. The size and strength and speed are a lot to adjust to. But I’m getting a lot of support from the Senators and really appreciate all they’re doing for me. I hope to be in Ottawa a long time.”

Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown star Isaac Perrault punches his stick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the puck â&#x20AC;&#x201C; into the Blue Wings net during the first period of Packersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 11-3 win last Friday in Perth. on the night. The final Renfrew marker was scored after Arnprior pulled its goalie in an attempt to pull even. Penalties didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play a big role in the outcome, but they could have. The Wolves killed off all 11 Arnprior power-plays. The Packers held the Wolves power-play off the scoresheet on five occasions. Shawville pull ahead of Arnprior by one point by dumping Renfrew 6-1 last Friday and Almonte 4-0 Saturday. However, lastplace Perth did the Packers a favour Sunday, upsetting the Pontiacs 3-1. Shawville has 38 points to Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37, but the Packers have a game in hand. The
two teams met in a make-up game Wednesday (after press deadline). The score should be available on the EOJHL website.
ARNPRIOR'S HISTORIC THEATRE R0033070948_0122
Sports - The Arnprior Packers split two away games on the weekend as they continue to wage a battle with Shawville for third place in the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley Division. Arnprior lost 4-2 in Renfrew Saturday a day after a lopsided win in Perth. The Perth Blue Wings are probably wondering why they bothered to get out of bed last Friday. It certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to be their night. Already essentially out of a playoff spot, the Blue Wings were downed by an embarrassing 11-3 score. The Packers set the tone early, scoring four unanswered goals in the first period. Casey Doner tallied twice with Cole Allard and Isaac Perreault adding singles. After Perth rallied with two early secondperiod goals, Packer captain John McLean made it 5-2 for Arnprior. The Blue Wings pulled to within 5-3 before goals by Liam Killeen and Allard put the Packers up 7-3 after two stanzas. Patrick McGrath, James Prebble, Luc Deschamps and Allard completed the rout with third-period markers. The empty net marker gave Allard a hat-trick in his fourth game with the Packers since coming over in a trade with the Renfrew Timberwolves. Dominic Plaschy made 33 saves in the Arnprior net, while the Packers sent 44 shots the Blue Wings way. In Renfrew the next night, Scott Conroy fired home a pair of goals and the first-place Wolves broke a two-game home-ice losing skid with the win over the Packers. Newcomer Brett Horn and Lucas Gonu added singles for Renfrew, while Doner and Luc Deschamps answered for Arnprior. Matt Gagne turned away 30 of 32 Arnprior shots, while Plaschy made 20 saves
