Tragedy on the river Mother, son crash through the ice after an evening trip to Arnprior Saturday night’s wine tasting was one of many events that helped locals beat the winter blues at the Arnprior Optimist Club Winter Carnival . Pages 23, 24, 25

EMC news – The tragedy unfolding for days next to a Fitzroy family’s home finally reached something of a conclusion near midnight Monday. That’s when a recovery crew removed from the Ottawa River a car containing the bodies of 29-year-old Daron Graves and his mother, 61-year-old Donna. The father and husband, Dave, who asked for privacy after the accident that garnered national attention, watched from his property just metres away from where the car went in at the end of Ferry Road. The crew had been at it for many hours after the mother and son were reported missing Thursday night after being in Arnprior. It was dangerous work for police divers, as West CarletonMarch Coun. Eli El-Chantiry can attest to. He was on the scene to lend a supportive hand all around. See VICTIMS, Page 3

Never too young to volunteer The Arnprior Optimist Club Winter Carnival is a family affair in more ways than one. As well as providing good old-fashioned family fun, the carnival is run by Optimist members and their families. Will Herrick, son of Arnprior Optimist Chris Herrick who was overseeing Saturday’s Optimist Club breakfast, serves some toast to Optimist Jeff Brown Saturday. For more on the carnival, see Pages 23, 24 and 25.

EMC news - Arnprior will have to wait awhile longer to find out if McNab-Braeside will agree to have representatives sit on a joint town-township recreation committee. McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell broke a tie vote Tuesday to swing a motion in favour of deferring the decision until council’s Feb. 19 regular meeting. McNab-Braeside is looking for more recreation program user information from Arnprior, including specific data on township residents using the town’s services. Arnprior Minor Hockey Association, for one, has submitted private information of players and parents to the town for sharing with the township. McNab-Braeside council’s recreation committee members, Deputy Mayor Christine

Blimkie and Coun. Bobby Campbell, voted against the deferral. At Arnprior’s Jan. 14 council meeting, local legislators agreed to the draft terms of reference for the proposed joint recreation committee that will oversee use of the Nick Smith Centre. However, a final version still has to be negotiated with McNab-Braeside. The committee would be composed of eight members: one council member from each municipality to co-chair it and three citizen members from each municipality appointed by their respective communities and representing a cross-section of Nick Smith Centre user groups. A minimum of two-thirds majority (quorum is six), including a minimum of two yes votes from each municipality, would be needed for any recommendations to filter back to councils.

EMC news – Citing rising costs, the Arnprior and District Humane Society has asked for another $1 per capita from Arnprior taxpayers to help pay for its services. Humane society president Brenda Ambrose and treasurer Bob Klodt made the request in an address to town council Jan. 15 at a special municipal budget consultation meeting. Klodt said the society feels a boost from $1.50 per capita to $2.50, which would translate to an extra $8,000 a year to bring the total to over $20,000, would be fair, as it is needed to cover rising expenses. Councillors agreed the service provided by the society is a valuable one, but suggested it also ask the town’s neighbours, particularly McNab-Braeside, for an increased allocation. The society’s four-year contract with town expired on Dec. 31. Klodt explained that the increase would help cover the significant increase in the cost to feed and provide medical care for the growing number of pets that the society has had to deal with in the past four years.

Police oversee the scene Sunday where a vehicle went through the ice next to the Quyon Ferry dock on Ferry Road. A car containing the bodies of Donna and Daron Graves was removed from the Ottawa River Monday just before midnight by a crane assisted by police divers. The two victims lived within 100 feet of the accident site.

Victims were returning home after visit to Arnprior “Normally I wouldn’t visit the site, but I’m their councillor. And it’s sad. I just offered my assistance to every one of the crews. There are many efforts at every level at city hall,� he said. “It’s heartfelt for the family. I feel for them. I’m sure there’s – well, it’s sad.� The Graves had been visiting the Prior Sportsbar in Arnprior on the night of Jan. 17, where they go on many Thursday evenings to eat supper and play pool after getting groceries. Daron was driving his new 2013 Dodge Dart. On their return, they made it to within 100 feet of their home. SUNDAY SCENE

Sunday afternoon Inspector Murray Knowles of the Ottawa Police Service told media a single person was found inside the vehicle, but weather conditions were hampering the recovery. “As you can see, our marine dive trail unit is out preparing to do another dive in order to recover the vehicle that was discovered last evening off the pier,� Knowles said. “The conditions, as you

can see, make it very difficult for us to do a recovery at this point, but we are working toward it. Divers will be entering the water momentarily (1 p.m.) in order to videotape the debris trail and so forth, so we can start our recovery.� Knowles said the divers wouldn’t get far on Sunday in daylight hours because of the bad weather, something that hampered efforts Monday as well. “It’s fairly complex the way the vehicle is located and with the position of the ice and the thickness of the ice,� he said. “Obviously, the current is quite substantial, which adds to the danger,� he told media gathered at the scene Sunday afternoon. “The ice is moving, so what they do is they drill a hole in the ice with a chain saw and then they launch the diver through that hole. When the ice is moving it makes it dangerous and we have to make sure that it’s done safely.� As for actually removing the vehicle from the 30-foot deep water, that presented its own challenges. “To pull the car out right now, there’s a shelf of ice that extends out into the river that is probably 20 to 30 feet wide and it’s about a foot-and-a-half thick,� he said.

“So we’re going to have to work at strategy to get that vehicle out from out there. And also the way the vehicle is located, it’s on its roof, so it’s very difficult right now to pull that out.� The fierce cold also impacted recovery. “Just operating in this type of temperature makes it difficult,� Knowles said. “It took us quite a while to find it,� Knowles said of the search for the car. The divers went in two nights earlier and found a debris trail and followed that trail in poor visibility, using a grid search. Knowles said at that time they would try their best to remove the vehicle Sunday, but if that was not possible they would be back Monday to continue the recovery. “We like to not disturb anything, so we’re going to try and remove the vehicle intact with all of the potential evidence,� he said. The recovery ended up being delayed to Monday. During the day, police reported seeing a second body in the car. Police continue to investigate the cause. Autopsy and toxicology reports will be conducted on both bodies.

Recreation, housing options needed in township: Campbell EMC-news – McNab-Braeside must work toward providing more housing and recreation opportunities for residents while maintaining the township’s rural lifestyle, says Mayor Mary Campbell in her State of the Township address. The address, which both looks back and forward, was given Jan. 8, at council’s first meeting of 2012 Following are excerpts from her talk, the first part of which was highlighted in last week’s Chronicle Guide EMC. “McNab-Braesiders tend to be naturally

conservative as we struggle to keep what is the best from our past while adopting only the best of the future. Key to this evolution and a major success for 2012, one which I hope will continue to expand in 2013, is the growth in involvement of residents on municipal committees and organizations. “Special congratulations to Deputy Mayor Blimkie on successfully establishing the economic development advisory committee under the co-chair direction of Sandra Gabler and Mark Gaetz.”

TOWN OF ANRPRIOR NOTICE OF THE PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Arnprior passed By-law 6178-13 on the 14th day of January, 2013, under Section 34(18) of the Planning Act, 1990. AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the By-law by filing with the Clerk of the Corporation of the Town of Arnprior not later than the 13th day of February, 2013, a notice of appeal setting out the reasons for the appeal and accompanied by the prescribed fee required by the Ontario Municipal Board. The prescribed fee is $125.00 and must be made payable to the Minister of Finance. Appeal forms are available at the Town Hall during regular office hours or from the Ontario Municipal Board website at www.omb.gov.on.ca. Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf. No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at the public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. An explanation of the purpose and effect of the By-law and a key plan are attached. The complete By-law is available for inspection in the Planning Office during regular office hours, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.

EXPLANATORY NOTE The Council of the Corporation of the Town of Arnprior passed Comprehensive Zoning By-law 4990-01, which applies to the entire Town of Arnprior, on October 29, 2001. The current zoning of the subject lands is Residential One – holding (R1-h), Residential Three – holding (R3-h) and Open Space One – holding (OS1-h). The purpose and effect of the amendment is to realign the current zoning boundary lines to recognize the proposed layout of the draft plan of subdivision. Furthermore, an exemption for 18 of the proposed single detached dwelling lots to be rezoned Residential One will permit the minimum frontage of the lots to be reduced from 15m to a minimum of 10.67m. The amendment will further exempt the subject lands from the required setback from any Industrial zone. The lands will continue to be subject to an ‘h’ (holding) symbol which will not be lifted, permitting development, until various requirements including approval of a development application, with appropriate studies in support being submitted and approved. The subject lands are described as part of Lots 3 and 4, Conc. C, municipally known as 124 Fourth Avenue, as shown on the attached key plan. Dated at the Town of Arnprior this 24th day of January, 2013. Key Plan: Maureen Spratt, Clerk 105 Elgin St. West Arnprior ON K7S 0A8 Tel.

Campbell made mention of the many activities by churches, schools, women’s institutes, and agricultural and recreation organizations in the township. “I take time to mention all this activity because it is my firm belief that the more we reach out to involve and empower the residents of McNab-Braeside, the stronger and richer our municipality as a place to live, work and play. There is no greater service a municipal government can provide than to lead its residents in their own self-governance.” When it comes to health care, it will be council’s responsibility, as the township grows, “to weigh the balance among solutions that demonstrate McNab-Braeside’s capacity as an independent rural municipality and, at the same time, our competence as an active participant in broader partnered solutions that are most cost effective for our residents. “Certainly, this issue of balance in benefit, cost effectiveness, and independent sustainability is central to McNab-Braeside’s approach to agreements with neighbouring municipalities. The provincial ‘Healthy Communities’ directive … places added importance on McNabBraeside’s capacity to support recreational programs. “The township continues to expand its capacity for healthy living in its recreational infrastructure. Coun. McIquham is to be congratulated on the successful completion of his long time goal, to see the Braeside Beach officially opened, once again,” Campbell said, thanking community partners Ontario Power Generation, Sullivan’s, and Smith’s Construction/Millar Paving for helping the township realize that vision. She also noted the upgrading of the Red Pine Bay boat launch should boosting traffic on Chats Lake and between the Ontario and Quebec. “One of the efforts the Mayor will be undertaking in 2013 is to verify the adoption by the Ministry of Education of the Public Health Professional Association recommendation that physical activity become a mandatory credit for all secondary school curriculum and that these credits be obtainable through municipal as well as school programs. These provincial directives cannot help but influence McNabBraeside’s approach to recreation.” Strengthening the social sustainability of McNab-Braeside will continue to be a “significant challenge” in 2013 and beyond, Campbell said. “Our housing stock still does not offer enough rental opportunities. Nor do we have sufficient retirement developments of the twobedroom/two-bath variety that would allow our residents to downsize, remaining within the township, developments that will support Assisted Living solutions as they are needed. “Council needs to watch for the need for public transportation solutions among residents and mobile community services. “The lack of adequate daycare within the township continues to be a complaint among residents and a consideration for young families in their decision on whether to settle in McNab-Braeside. “One of the most immediate needs is to plan for accessible buildings. This includes an accessible alternative for the Braeside RA Centre, a larger community centre that can accommo-

date our growing population and an accessible municipal building.” Campbell said McNab Days is important because it is in line with the province policy that municipalities promote their culture as part of overall Ontario tourism strategy. “McNab Days along with the Waba Cottage Museum and McNab-Braeside’s support of the Arnprior McNab-Braeside Archives continues to only scratch the surface of opportunities to promote our heritage. As a municipality especially rich in rural culture and historic heritage, it is critical that we conquer our obstacles rather than be defeated by them.” ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

“Our thanks and congratulations to Deputy Mayor Blimkie on the news that Braeside is to reopen its post office at Robbins Store. As well as being of great importance to residents, the new post office will maintain service for the nearly 200 businesses that depend on local shipping. “(The year) 2012 witnessed an increase in development interest in McNab-Braeside. Significant advancements were made on the Glen Meadows and Melray draft subdivision agreements. “We look forward to presentations to Council, in 2013, for both new residential and commercial developments. “Certainly, key to continued growth in McNab-Braeside is our ability to maintain the excellent condition of our infrastructure. Road rehabilitation will become increasingly critical with township growth, and it is important that council plan for adequate funding. “Equally important is the right of every McNab-Braeside resident to know when their road is scheduled for maintenance improvement thus equipping our public with the information they need to respond to council. “… the single most significant factor in 2012 for McNab-Braeside’s economic future has been the solidification of the economic development advisory committee. The economic development advisory committee not only brings together some of the best economic and business minds of the township but will provide a pool of expertise from which Council can draw and will help drive awareness of McNab-Braeside as a desirable commercial, as well as, agricultural and residential community. “One of the challenges to our community is the recent introduction of corporate (non-resident) farmers. During 2013, council policies must take into consideration the social, as well as, economic impacts to our agricultural sector.” Saying 2012 could have been called ‘year of the volunteer’, Campbell said that “never before have we seen so much community involvement, so much empowerment and local initiative among our residents.” She praised the many volunteers from their contributions to the township, as well as the dedicated township staff.. And each member of council “should take great pride in knowing that they did their best to maintain our township motto ‘Fair is the Land, Strong the People’,” she concluded.

Joint committee to advise councils Continued from front

Directors of parks and recreation from each municipality would provide support, but not have voting privileges. Meetings would be held at the Nick Smith Centre. Two meetings a month would be held for the first while, tapering off until a break in summer. Arnprior would provide to the committee a financial analysis breakdown of three cost centres (ice pads, pools and community hall). Another breakdown would detail all major recreational programs at Nick Smith. The committee would recommend guiding principles for establishing program user fees, recommend potential new programs that could benefit the community, among other responsibilities. Arnprior CAO Michael Wildman said the purpose of the committee is to work together with the township to “talk about the issues.”

It is meant to head off any controversies like those that resulted in hockey parents picketing in front of township offices last year. But elected officials will have the final say on any recommendations from the committee. “It is council on both sides that will make the final call,” Wildman said to councillors who raised concerns. Coun. Lynn Grinstead, who chairs the newly formed community development committee, didn’t like the idea that the Nick Smith Centre would no longer fall under her committee. Wildman assured her it is simply the financial aspects that will be discussed at the joint committee. Mayor David Reid said the township wants statistics and other information in order to make an informed decision on behalf of their taxpayers. “This is about providing information to make decisions they need to make,” Reid said.

Ask township for more money, humane society urged Continued from front

Klodt said the township is adamant it only pay for dogs, so the society didn’t have “much leverage” in asking for an increase, as the number of cats it handles is growing much faster than dogs. Stack replied that no matter how many dogs and cats there are, it is in McNab-Braeside’s best interest to keep the shelter open. Coun. Lynn Grinstead pointed out since the shelter is getting more cats than dogs from Braeside, the township should be paying for them too. Coun. Mark Wilmer suggested the society take sets to curb the number of animals it accepts. “I hear there are people from quite far away bringing animals in,” he said. “Why are we accepting animals from other areas, when we have our own,” added Grinstead. Klodt said the amount of outside animals accepted is fairly limited. “We only take special cases (from outside),” he said. He explained that being a no-kill shelter tends to attract more pets, putting pressure on the facility, but it also means more support from the community and companies such as Purina. He said the shelter has had to close its doors in the past to cats when it was overwhelmed by them. The society’s spay and neuter policy seems to be paying off, as the number of pets has finally dropped, going from 250 to 238 by the end of the year, he added.

Reid asked if the town’s policy of providing free pet licences in January and February is helping the society. With a greater number of tags, it’s likely more strays can be returned to their homes, he said. However, most of the strays still don’t have tags, said Klodt. Reid said council would consider the society’s request during its budget deliberations next month. “There are a lot of considerations,” he cautioned. Klodt said the society is open to signing another four-year contract or going year-by-year, whatever council wanted. R0011294477

Klodt said that when the Arnprior shelter opened in the early 1990s, it had one staff member and about two dogs and 20 cats. That has doubled a number of times since and now there are five staff and 238 pets housed there, despite campaigns to get more of them adopted. Klodt told council that veterinarian costs have doubled (the cost to spay a cat has gone from $125 to $250), maintenance costs have climbed and the minimum wage has gone up. All the while, the society’s revenue has stayed flat, he said. If it wasn’t for wonderful support from the community, the shelter would be in big trouble, he said. He noted that the society ran a “bit of a deficit” in 2012 and had to dip into its emergency fund provided by a generous bequest. The society is seeking ways to increase revenue and cut costs, he said. “If we get a little more from the town, we should be able to work toward a balanced budget in a year or two.” Mayor David Reid picked up on Klodt reporting that about two-thirds of the pets (153 of the 238) come from Arnprior and ask if any other municipalities provide funds to the society. “The service is great … there is no question the money is needed,” he said. “But if you’re looking at getting $20,000 from Arnprior, the other third should come from somewhere else.” Klodt explained that McNab-Braeside pays the society $3,000 a year to cover dogs picked up in the township, but doesn’t pay for cats. “You should be asking McNab-Braeside for an increase,” said Reeve Walter Stack.

Ambrose noted all the society’s costs and revenues are made public on its website. It’s also using Facebook to promote awareness of its activities, she added. Stack praised the society for its fundraising efforts, noting that people can drop off beer, wine and liquor bottles and cans at the shelter. The society raised about $6,000 from bottles in 2012. A campaign by A.J. Charbonneau Grade 2 student Charlie Flowers to collect bottles and cans for the Humane Society is a shining example of how the community supports the shelter, said Ambrose.

Appellants deal before OMB hearing ‘protected neighbourhood’ John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – An appellant at an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing last summer regarding a proposed residential development near Gillies Grove maintains there was an agreement that ended the appeal against a rezoning of property near Gillies Grove. Tom Marshall disputes the contention of another appellant, Russ Corbett, in a story and letter in the Chronicle Guide EMC two weeks ago that there was no consensus reached by most of the parties involved. “There was a negotiated settlement prior to the hearing,� Marshall said. He said he agreed to withdraw his appeal after the Vydon Investment developers agreed they wouldn’t access their proposed development from the dead end of Dan Street. After that, the other six appellants, other than one who had already dropped out, followed suit, he said. That was the agreement referred to by OMB commissioner Marc Denhez in his report brought down in November, he said. The development proposal is for townhouses and an apartment complex near the Grove Nursing Home, but construction is not expected to happen any time soon, as there are several environmental studies that would have to be completed first. Marshall said he won’t be happy if the area so close to the wetland next to Gillies Grove is developed, but he is pleased that if the development ever goes ahead, there will be no vehicle access from the new housing through his neighbourhood. Most, if not all, of the other appellants are also pleased with that concession by the devel-

oper, he said. “It prevents cars from flooding our neighbourhood, Marshall said. It also deters new development off that end of Dan Street, he added. Marshall maintained the agreement, which was initiated by some of the appellants, was the main reason most of them dropped their appeal, not a fear that they would be responsible to play the costs of the hearing. “Assigned costs was never a credible threat,â€? he said. He said that while there is always a chance the OMB might assign costs to appellants, in this case the lawyers and the OMB itself had suggested the chances were “very low.â€? As it turned out, both sides ended up covering their own costs, he said. Assigned costs to appellants usually only happen when those appealing do so frivolously in order to unfairly delay a project. “That was certainly not the case here,â€? Marshall said. Another reason he agreed to the deal was the uncertainty of how the OMB would rule. “We might not have got anything,â€? he said. “For us to get a concession was extremely important ‌ we wanted to protect our neighbourhood.â€? He said while the appellants continue to be adamantly opposed to the development so close to Gillies Grove and its nearby wetland, it’s something that town council will have to decide, not the OMB. He said he suspects the development will never go ahead as proposed in a concept plan, which has been floating around for eight years. The environmental and heritage value of Gillies Grove will likely mean there will have to be many safeguards implemented first, he

added. He noted that the National Nature Conservancy, which owns Gillies Grove, would certainly have a say in any development so close to its borders. The agreement made by the appellants and the developer is a “step in the right direction,� Marshall said, saying it’s up to local and provincial officials to protect the Grove now.

Corbett maintains that he and several fellow appellants dropped out mainly for fear of being saddled with assigned costs. He said he is still concerned that the buffer suggested between any development and the public land is not adequate enough to protect the important woodland and wetland/brook wildlife habitat.

OPINION

Your Community Newspaper

EDITORIAL

Support those who make the community stronger Congratulations to the Arnprior Optimists, who put a great deal of time and hard work into ensuring Arnprior continues to have an enjoyable winter carnival year after year. In commenting on this year’s carnival, club vice-president Chris Toner deflected praise from his members and thanked the community for its support. The carnival’s many sponsors are crucial to keeping the carnival going, he noted, adding that it’s wonderful to see such support for community endeavours from local businesses and other boosters. That’s why the club is such a strong supporter of patronizing local stores, he noted. If people want these many community events

and services to continue, they should support the local businesses that make them possible. Toner was echoing the comments of Tracy Climo, the organizer of a free Christmas day dinner in town. In noting that local businesses were generous in their support of the heart-warming and belly-filling dinner, she also urged people to shop locally. It’s a timely reminder, so soon after Christmas when many local residents frequented the malls and box stores of Ottawa to buy their gifts. While nobody begrudges Arnprior and area residents the occasional shopping excursions into Ottawa and other towns and cities, they

should remember who steps up when there is a community need. Who donates money and prizes to local sports teams, student awards, health care campaigns, heritage celebrations, seniors services, fire victims collection jars and many more things that make this a wonderful community in which to live? It’s not the big box stores or chain outfits from Ottawa. They have their own charities to look after. No, it’s the local merchants down on John Street or up in the mall who are asked time and time again to give to countless causes, and do just that. We still have many winter events still to

come. There will be winter carnivals in Braeside, Kinburn, White Lake and Fitzroy and ice fishing derbies in Arnprior, Fitzroy and Calabogie, to name a few. And don’t forget the many hockey and ringette tournaments so tied in with the Canadian winter identity. All rely on a hardy core of local volunteers and sponsorship support from businesses located right here in your community. So if you enjoy all these special events and extra offerings that contribute so much to enhancing our lifestyle, make sure you repay the many local businesses that play such a major role in ensuring their survival by shopping locally.

Air quality studies for quarry expansion full of holes To the Editor: It is not surprising that I would be interested in the Air Quality Study for the Miller Braeside Quarry expansion application before our Council right now. After all, I was one of the neighbours who suffered adverse effects from the temporary asphalt plant operating in the quarry in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Deputy Judge Sauriol agreed with us that it’s no fun living next to an asphalt plant. So how is this study going to show it will be OK to have a permanent asphalt plant here? When I read this study plus the peer review by another expert, I felt like Alice in Wonderland; I had fallen down the rabbit hole and was watching the Mad Hatter and the March Hare at work. The study was written by Church and Trought Inc. (CTI), and peer reviewed by Colin Welburn (RWDI). So how do they do it? Make something that common sense tells you won’t fly appear to do just that. Miller owns a huge chunk of land here, but the permanent asphalt plant (HMA) and the permanent concrete plant (RMC) are tucked over at the sides just about as close to the neighbours as you could get. So they play a game of let’s pretend. To predict emissions from these plants, and other quarry operations, a computer model is used. Data is put into the model, which then spews out estimates of the emission levels at various ‘sensitive receptors’; that’s the neighbours’ properties. The model they used was AERMOD. This is what I discovered when I read the CTI study, Mr. Welburn’s review and did a little research. See what you think. 1. The AERMOD model has a low reliability rating; that means the results may not be right.

2. CTI has used an open pit model to calculate emissions; the Braeside Quarry is not an open pit. 3. An open pit is very deep compared to its width; the idea being that all nasty emissions will stay deep inside this pit. The Braeside Quarry is shallow and wide, not deep. 4. All-important weather data used in this model was for ‘somewhere else’ and was out of date. The Braeside Quarry isn’t 20 kilometres from the Environment Canada weather station at the Ottawa International Airport, is it? You and I know that, but CTI thinks we’re right next door! 5. Important unusual weather activities which would greatly increase the concentrations of emissions were simply omitted. Temperature inversions trap pollutants near the earth and make their concentrations skyrocket. 6. The number of hours this model was run per day was undoubtedly inaccurate. The wind blows dust and pollutants around at night too, not just during the day; 7. The computer was given distances to the neighbours, which were too distant because the map was shown as 150 metres further east of the residents than the quarry actually is; 8. The map was also skewed. This blew my mind! They turned the site map off by 30 degrees, making the neighbours appear to be much farther away from the plants than they actually were! 9. The model lumped all of the emission sources into the bottom of the quarry when they were actually all over the quarry! The open pit model seems to work very nicely because it assumes all sources of pollution are down at the bottom of a deep, deep pit, supposedly 170’ down. See ‘SCRUTINIZE’ Page 9

But they weren’t! They were all over the map; the asphalt plant on the SW side at grade level, the concrete plant south at grade, drilling and blasting at the rock face, NE, crushing usually to the SE, and trucks, loaders, etc. everywhere. 10. Modelled temperatures of the asphalt when loaded into the trucks may not be accurate, giving overly small emissions figures. For every 11 degrees increase in temperature of the asphalt, the VOCs, (cancer-causing emissions) double. Then that doubled figure doubles and so on. Let me introduce you to Harry, Louise and Jamie, (12 months) and a sibling for Jamie in May (real people, fictitious names). This young couple waited to have a family until they had purchased their home in the country. They bought in good faith, only to discover the seller had failed to disclose the fact that there were plans for a permanent asphalt plant in their back yard. They were stuck. When the temporary asphalt plant was located in the quarry, Louise suffered from debilitating migraines from the odour. That plant was further away than this planned permanent one. (Miller has hinted that they may put the 25+year-old temporary plant back here on a concrete pad and call it permanent.) This family is the ‘sensitive receptor’ that RWDI, the peer reviewer, was so concerned about, the one so close to the plant. There are others with children only a little further away. Here were some of RWDI’s concerns: • the Miller study by CTI is using the open pit model to predict emissions saying the asphalt plant is in the bottom of the pit, which is, according to the ratio, 55m deep, (the quarry is actually 10m deep) so the plant area appears to be 750m from Harry et al in the emissions model; • but RWDI said that they were actually 350m from the plant area as the plant wasn't in the pit at all; • also RWDI found that the map of the quarry had been shifted 150m to the east so in fact the plant area was now 200m from Harry et al; • on top of that, RWDI discovered that the quarry map had been turned so that it was 30 degrees out of kilter, so the plan is yet closer to Harry; • so who knows just how close the whole permanent asphalt plant area is to Harry et al? Now if Harry wants to build a tree fort at the back of his property for his children, what would you tell him? Did you ever, as a child, build a house with a deck of cards, only to have it collapse when someone opened the door and the wind made it pouf! That is what this study is, a house of cards, with each card based on a false premise. We need to open the door and let the wind blow through all the Miller studies.

To the Editor: Re. the 2012 Community Christmas dinner. It is with many thanks that I write this letter. The 2012 Christmas dinner was a huge success again. There were approximately 80 diners, and with the assistance of some Seniors at Home volunteers. Another 23 who were unable to make it were served at home. I would like to let people in Arnprior know what a generous and supportive community they live in. All we had to do was mention that we wanted to do a dinner and help began to flow

Continued from Page 8

To the Editor: The secondary roads in McNab are very unsafe, I don’t know why school bus drivers, ambulances, police vehicles and everyone using these roads are not complaining. Solid ice on most roads, the reason being pure sand and no salt. Having a budget is good, but this is ridiculous. Terry Cunningham White Lake

Teachers have good reasons why it’s not ‘business as usual’ To the Editor: The Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC editorial in the Thursday Jan. 10 edition argued that teachers should not â€œâ€Śrob high school students for two years of the chance to excel at basketball or drama or band.â€? That was an unfortunate and inammatory choice of words in my opinion. The editorial spoke of the substantial positives that come from extra –curriculars and as a long time volleyball and football coach I certainly agree. You referenced an Ontario Student Survey that showed 97% of students and 90% of parents believe teachers should be recognized for their con-

tributions to extra-curriculars. Might I ask why your editorial stopped short of doing just that? I would like to take this opportunity to thank all education workers for all of the volunteer work that they have contributed to their students, schools and their communities. As the editorial points out, Ontario’s education workers have good reason to be angry with the provincial government. The editorial goes even further to explain how education workers should be resolving their current stalemate with the ruling Liberals, by getting â€œâ€Śinvolved politically, lobby your MPPs and don’t do nonmandatory tasks you think are unfair.â€?

Again I would agree with these suggestions, and teachers are doing just those things during the time they would formerly have devoted to extra-curriculars. I am the parent of a Grade 10 student who is no longer playing on the school basketball team, but he understands why education workers are taking their current stand. My son appreciates that when free collective bargaining rights are taken away from one group, it opens the door to it happening to other groups. My son understands that when an unprecedented and unnecessary process has been imposed on a group they can not and should not continue on with “business as usual.� One day

my son and all of our students will be workers in this province. What will their “business as usual� look like if we allow governments to arbitrarily impose contracts? Education workers are prepared to sit down and negotiate as we have successfully done for many years with no disruptions to schools. Education workers did not pass Bill 115; it was a Liberal government supported by the Conservatives that has pushed our school system into the current state of chaos. Did your editorial really need to explain to education workers the value and importance of extra-curriculars? Education workers already know how valuable and important extra-

curriculars are to students; they also value democracy and free collective bargaining rights. Instead of cajoling education workers to return to the voluntary activities that they love and value, perhaps you could have thanked them for the countless hours they have contributed to students, schools and communities. If the Chronicle Guide feels so strongly about education workers returning to extra-curriculars, perhaps it could have helped us in our efforts to lobby our MPPs by encouraging its readers to do just that? Jeffrey Barber, district president Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation

Charging municipalities for disaster relief deplorable move by the federal gov’t To the Editor: When faced by natural disasters that put their lives at risk, Canadians depend on and expect our troops to protect them - yet MP Cheryl Gallant and the Conservative government are sending mixed messages about charging municipalities and provinces when they provide this life-saving emergency help. Protecting Canadians has always been one of the core responsibilities of the Canadian Forces, who have proudly helped communities faced with ooding, wildďŹ res, hurricanes and other natural disasters. The Great Ice Storm of 1998 led to the largest deployment of Canadian military personnel since the Korean War. Communities depend on the troops to provide assistance quickly on a scale and with expertise no one can match.

Yet the Conservative government made a secret decision last July to force local governments to foot the bill for emergency assistance. They never told municipalities or the public. It’s part of the ďŹ scal restraint announced in the last budget, cuts that Mrs. Gallant claimed were to “the back ofďŹ ceâ€? have turned out to be to essential services. The Conservatives need to be reminded that there is only one taxpayer. The policy of billing a municipality that just suffered a disaster is ďŹ scal foolishness. The Conservatives know the cost of everything and value of nothing. Amid a growing outcry, Defence Minister Peter MacKay issued a press release late at night claiming that there had been no change in policy, neglecting to mention that his Department will now be creating a bill and forwarding it to another department

for collection. The effect is that the municipality or province will still be paying twice – once through their general taxes, and a second time to the federal government. While this policy may have already been on the books, previous governments recognized that charging disaster-stricken Canadians twice for the same service is unfair. These mixed messages must stop. Canadians take care of one another in times of emergency, no questions asked. Mrs. Gallant and the Conservative government must reverse this poorly thought-out policy immediately and give assurance to Canadians that they will not be stuck with a bill from their own army when the next disaster strikes. John McKay, MP Liberal Party Defence Critic

Going travelling, courtesy of the BIA Beryl Campbell was the lucky winner of the $2,000 travel voucher sponsored by the Arnprior downtown business improvement area (BIA). Handing her the ticket is the BIA’s Shay Klimpel, left, with BIA officials Mike Marcil and Chantal Beaulieu on hand. Campbell was among the downtown Christmas shoppers who filled out a ballet for the draw. Klimpel said at least 1,000 ballots were cast, an impressive amount in her estimation.

New town committee system proposed EMC news - Arnprior council is expected to approve a proposed major change to its committee system at its Jan. 28 meeting. Town CAO Michael Wildman said the committee system is being streamlined from seven committees down to three to make them more efficient and eliminate duplication. The town is asking people, including those who were on the previous committees, if they

want to continue to serve The new model will be more in line with the changes in staff and economic development goals at town hall. Meanwhile, council wasn’t happy with the candidates who applied for the vacant public works director position, so the town is re-advertising the job. Arnprior is also looking for an economic development officer.

Students urge public to support clean water penny drive JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – The organizers of the ‘We Create Change’ campaign at Arnprior District High School remind Arnprior and area residents they have until the end of January to make a donation. The students launched the local We Create Change campaign penny drive to support their efforts to adopt a village county in Haiti and help it develop infrastructure to give residents clean water and adequate sanitation facilities.

The students have placed donation cans at CIBC and the Intrendz store on Elgin Street in Arnprior. They have also raised $11.41 so far at ScotiaBank before that collection box was removed. People can also make a donation at the ADHS main office, where donations over $10 will be eligible for a tax receipt. Organizer Oliver Jacob says the students are participating in a cross-country effort being touted as Canada’s largest penny drive. The fundraiser is linked to

Packers mauled by Wolves Peter Clark Peter.clark@metroland.com

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Eric Malloy (23), with Ryan Patrick by his side, leads a group of Packers up ice during their Valley Division encounter at Renfrew’s Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre last Friday. Attempting to slow Malloy down is the Timberwolves Patrick McGrath, twin brother of Arnprior’s Michael McGrath. Malloy had one of the Packers markers, but a three-goal middle period led Renfrew to a 5-2 victory. counter of the weekend. Steege and Allard will be eligible to return when the Packers travel to the Pakenham Arena to meet the Almonte Thunder at 8 p.m. Friday at the annual Pakenham Frostfest game. Both players received a game suspension for their roles in a scrap in the dying seconds of Arnprior’s 6-5 win over the Pontiac Juniors Jan. 13. The Packers don’t return to the friendly confines of the Nick Smith Centre until Friday, Feb. 8 when they host the Stittsville Royals in a crucial match-up at 8 p.m. LEAGUE TIDBITS: The Almonte Thunder kept their slim playoff hopes alive by edging the Valley division-

leading Perth Blue Wings 4-3 Saturday in Almonte. Stittsville Royals remain a point behind Arnprior after falling 7-4 Sunday at home to the Ottawa Jr. Canadians. It was the Royals second loss to the Canadians in less than a week. Metro division-leading Gatineau Mustangs will play an exhibition game against the Canadian Women’s National team Jan. 23 in Buckingham. The national team is preparing for the Women’s World Championship tournament in Ottawa April 2 to 9. The Swiss team will be practicing in Arnprior in the week before the tournament and will play the Russian team at the Nick Smith Centre March 30.

EMC sports - The Arnprior Packers missed an opportunity to push one opponent out of the equation in the heated battle for second place in the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League last Friday. The Packers made their way up to Renfrew and simply didn’t show the interest of that of the home team in dropping a 5-2 decision to the Renfrew Timberwolves. A win would have allowed the Packers to open up a sevenpoint edge on Renfrew, while keeping Arnprior ahead of the Stittsville Royals in the standings. Instead, Arnprior leads Renfrew by only three points and Stittsville by one. And the Royals have two games in hand on the other two. Renfrew and Arnprior s meet on two more occasions before the mid-February end of the regular season, games that will likely go along way to determining playoff seedings. Renfrew 5, Packers 2 The Packers were minus the services of key components of top scorer Jared Steege and veteran Ethan Allard, and showed no spring in their step. The Wolves broke a 1-1 tie with three quick goals in the middle period, and rode them to the 5-2 victory. Colin Bradbury, Kurtis Leclaire, Erik Mask, Scott Conroy and Ryan Eady pulled the trigger to help Renfrew shed what had been a sevengame losing streak. Two goals came on power-plays. Bradbury and Eady are former Packers. The latter was a vital cog in Arnprior’s Valley Division championship last spring. Eric Malloy scored Arnprior’s first-period goal and set up Corey Chaplin for the game’s final tally at 14:50 of the third period. A third ex-Packer, Matt Gagne, made 23 stops in the Arnprior goal crease. Arnprior’s Kyle Lamothe faced 39 Renfrew shots. The Packers received 24 minutes in penalties, which the Wolves were hit for 16 minutes. It was Arnprior’s lone en-

EMC sports – The race season has started well for Calabogie Ski Racing Club athletes. The action got underway at Calabogie Peaks Jan. 19 with a U16 slalom. The challenging course was a mix of soft snow and sheer ice, forcing the athletes to draw upon all their resources. The Calabogie U16 girls posted excellent results: Aylen Ferguson of Carp was just outside the top 10, finishing 11th overall after two strong runs, while Gabrielle D’Aoust of Glenburnie finished 25th. The lone Calabogie U16 boy was Chris Pepin of Kinburn who posted a 29th-place finish on his first run, but did not finish his second run. On Jan. 20 there were three races for different age categories. The U16s were at it again, carving up a Giant Slalom (GS) course at Mont St-Marie, Quebec. Chris Pepin upped the speed to come in 14th place, while Aylen Ferguson came back from a crash on her first run to post a time good enough for 24th place on her second run.

The U14s braved snow and icy winds on Jan, 20 to race a GS at Camp Fortune, Quebec. The normal format for a race is a two-run combined time result. However, high winds forced the cancellation of the second run, so results were based on the first run only. For the boys, Alex Duff of Pembroke snuck onto the podium in fifth place, while younger brother Sam Duff was only 2-hundredths of a second behind him in sixth. Rookies Connor Maclean and Liam Maclean of Manotick came in a respectable 47th and 51st places. Travis Reid of Kingston had the speed but was unable to capitalize and did not finish. The girls battled the ice with some solid results: Jenna Wissing of Kanata was 15th, Lauren Ferguson of Carp 32nd, Alexandra Kerr of Kemptville 39th and Jessica Earle of Greely 41st. Sophia Tan of Kanata and Emma Schreider of Kingston skied hard but did not finish. Calabogie Peaks was the site for the very first U10 race in the region, and the Calabogie racers put on an exciting show for the home

town crowd. The boys dominated the Top 10, with Alex Wroe of Burnstown picking up a fifth-place ribbon. Jeremy Van Grunsven of Odessa was seventh, Evan Sharma of Kingston in ninth, and Wyatt Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew in 10th. Thys Blok of White Lake came back from a disqualification (DSQ) on his first run to post a time good enough for 15th on his second. Carson Lefebvre of Calabogie was very fast on both runs, but hit a gate and lost a ski, knocking him out of the race. The girls were super, too. Louise Stonham of Arnprior, in her ski racing debut, edged into the Top 10 with a 10thplace finish, and Nicole Duff of Pembroke was 19th. Carly Alexander of Carp was DSQed on her first run, but rallied for 28th on her second run. This coming weekend, the U12s enter their first races of the season, a Slalom at Camp Fortune Jan. 26 and a GS at Calabogie Peaks Jan. 27. Meanwhile, the U16s travel to the Can-Am Races at Collingwood, while the U14s are back on the Slalom course at Edelweiss, Quebec.

Arnprior kids fishing derby set for Family Day weekend John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC sports – The Arnprior and District Fish and Game Club is taking advantage of the Ontario Family Fishing weekend to hold a youth fishing derby Saturday, Feb. 16. The ice fishing derby, co-sponsored by the Arnprior Fire Department, will be held on Goodwin’s Bay at the end of McNab Street from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. All youth up to age 18 are welcome. It’s one of several area ice fishing derbies held on the Family Day weekend Feb. 16 to 18. The Castleford Ice Fishing Derby is held on the Ottawa River Feb. 16, as is the West Carleton Fish and Game Club derby. The Ottawa Region Walleye League hosts a free ice fishing day for kids on Constance Lake in Dunrobin from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 16. The Ontario Family Fishing weekend introduces people to the joys of fishing by letting them fish on the long weekend without having the otherwise mandatory fishing version of the outdoors card. At all other times, Canadians from the ages of 18 and 64 need a valid licence to fish in Ontario. The summer free fishing period has been expanded from a weekend to a week and runs July 6 to 14 this year.

Castleford Fishing Derby Feb. 16 EMC events - The popular Castleford Charity Ice Fishing Derby is ready to roll in 2013. This year’s eighth-annual derby is set for Saturday, Feb. 16 on the family day weekend. “What better way to enjoy free family fishing weekend than outside in the fresh air,” said committee member and treasurer Don Storie. A shanty breakfast gets underway at 6 a.m., and supper at 5 p.m. supplied by the Horton Volunteer Firefighters Association at the Horton Community Centre. Awards are at 7 p.m. The bar will be open and a DJ will be supplying music. Storie stresses, should poor ice conditions result in the cancellation of the fishing portion of the derby itself, everything else, breakfast, draws, DJ, etc. will go on an planned in the Horton Community Centre. “Pray for some cold weather,” encourages Storie.

For some animals snow means warmth EMC lifestyle – Many people dislike winter, hence the annual migration of ‘snowbirds’ to southern retreats. The two things they escape are snow and sub-zero temperatures. Right now we are experiencing the cold that sent some of us scurrying south and keeps many who stayed behind hiding inside warm houses. For many animals that stay active during winter, survival wouldn’t be possible without the association of snow with cold temperatures. Larger mammals and most birds fend off the cold with warm coats of fur or feathers. Just as we do, they sport two layers, one next to the skin (underfur or down) to trap body heat, and a thick outer coat (guard hairs or contour feathers) that provides additional insulation. However, small mammals also have hair coats, but their leaner body shape results in considerable heat loss. They need other means of staying warm under extremely cold conditions, the type we are currently experiencing. Some compensate by huddling together in sheltered sites. For example, Flying Squirrels commonly huddle in tree cavities. Many more animals, however, use the snow for warmth. When snow accumulates on the ground, the bottom

becomes compressed and is warmed by latent heat released by the ground. This results in a transformation of the lower layer of snow into a latticework large crystals, and a small space gradually develops next to the ground. Small mammals move with ease through this space. Because this area lies under the snow, it is called the subnivean space. The temperature in the subnivean space generally ranges from -1° C to -3° C. In this comparatively balmy zone roam Meadow Voles, Deer Mice, Short-tailed Shrews, Star-nosed Moles and other creatures up to the size of Red Squirrels. Even a few spiders and other invertebrates travel in this zone. This under-the-snow heated zone sounds like an ideal place for small animals to be when temperatures plunge in

but in a different way. On cold nights, Ruffed Grouse dive into the snow before dark and snuggle into a snow den. The next day they emerge, sometimes exploding out of the snow when startled by someone on skis or snowshoes. Common Redpolls are among the very few other birds that use the snow for warmth on cold nights. When temperatures plunge, wild animals have no electric heaters to help them deal with the cold. Yet like us many do throw on an extra blanket, just one of snow, not wool! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

the air above. It usually is, but when small animal populations peak, a lack of oxygen and carbon dioxide build-up can be problems. At these times, the animals must tunnel up to the surface. In doing so, they become exposed to a host of hungry predators whose ears are fine-tuned for detecting the scratching of tiny claws. Additionally, an ice-coated surface or unseasonably warm temperatures that cause the snow pack to collapse cause problems. Also, snowmobiles travelling across fields compact the snow, destroying the subnivean space. A couple of larger animals also use the snow for warmth

Misunderstood mammals focus of travelling exhibit Wildlife night life abounds at Ontario parks Sherry Haaima

Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC events – They weigh about the same as a loonie, fly 25 kilometres an hour and have been around for 50 million years. Bats, often misunderstood mammals, are the focus of an exciting new exhibit that will soon be landing in town. Listen to the Night: Bats of Ontario is coming to the Arnprior and District Museum. A Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation grant has ensured the museum can offer the optimum bats experience with the hiring of exhibit co-ordinator and educational facilitator Alyse Laplante The travelling exhibit comes from the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. “It’s a very educational exhibit that will be opening here in Arnprior Feb. 1 and it’ll be here until March 31,” said Laplante. “We’re excited Michael Runtz will be opening the exhibit at 7 p.m. with a power-point presentation and specimens.” Runtz is well-known locally as the president of the Macnamara Field Naturalist Club and a widely read columnist with the Arnpri-

or Chronicle Guide EMC and West Carleton Review EMC. The exhibit is open to everyone and includes points of interests for visitors of all ages. “From preschoolers to adults, students and seniors, the target is all ages,” said Laplante. Admission to the exhibit is $3 per person. Museum officials say the exhibit promises to explain the truth behind the myths and fables about bats. It explores the diversity of the species in Ontario, their hibernation and roosting habits, studies flight patterns and examines their echolocation or biological sonar. Also in focus are health, conservation and research issues related to bats. The exhibit is relevant to school curriculum and museum officials hope local schools will take advantage of the opportunity to bring in students. Bats of Ontario is open to the public Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and evenings and weekends by appointment. Successful traveling exhibits that have come to the Arnprior museum in the past include Hands On Nature and Canada at Play.

SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Alyse Laplante, exhibit co-ordinator and educational facilitator for the travelling exhibit Listen to the Night: Bats of Ontario, welcomes people of all ages to visit the Arnprior and District Museum between Feb. 1 and March 31 to learn more about bats.

EMC lifestyle – Nights are full of intrigue at Ontario Parks. Under the cover of darkness, park wildlife lives in a world that humans rarely witness. On winter mornings, clues animals leave behind are easier to spot, especially after a light snow. Tracks, traces and trails tell us fascinating park stories. The ancient art of tracking is part-scavenger hunt, part-science and it is a fun way to explore Ontario Parks in winter. Learning animal tracks is a good place to start. Much about an animal’s identity including its species, speed, gait and direction of travel can be determined by examining tracks. Scat tells what an animal eats. Traces of feathers, blood and urine left on the surface of the snow may signal a life or death struggle or an animal trying to attract a mate. Trails can lead to animal habitats or caches of food. For more see a Park Blog post at http://www.parkreports. com/parksblog/?p=3164 that highlights some of the common tracks you see in Ontario Parks in winter and includes photos, Winter night life in Ontario Parks is remarkably active. Mice and voles forage the earth’s surface under a blanket of snow in hollows in what is known as the subnivean layer. Even though the mice and voles are invisible, owls and foxes have such exceptional hearing that they can find their prey through deep snow. The Lynx hunts the Snowshoe Hare on winter nights; both are so well-adapted to winter in northern Ontario Parks that they actually have feet with toes that spread further apart to accommodate softer snow, acting like snowshoes. In February, several Family Day events are planned in Ontario Parks across the province and an adults-only Valentine’s hike is being offered at Bronte Creek. Guided wildlife hikes led by park naturalists include the ancient art of tracking and winter adaptations that evolved in plants and animals. Snowshoes make it easy to track wildlife in winter. Offtrail or on-trail Ontario Parks makes for a great winter outing. Over 400 kilometres of cross country ski and snowshoe trails are in Ontario Parks and over half of them are groomed and track set. The Park Ski Report is updated regularly at www. parkreports.com/skireport/. Cross country ski and snowshoe rentals and roofed accommodation are available in some provincial parks.

Optimists harness community spirit with winter carnival

LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Thomas Peebles gets in on the carnival magic act with great glee Saturday morning, with magician Michael Bourada.

EMC lifestyle - The Arnprior Optimist Club tradition of community spirit lives on. The 32nd annual Arnprior Optimist Club Winter Carnival had the Nick Smith Centre buzzing Thursday and Friday evenings and all day Saturday with carnival events. The only disappointment, ironically, was caused by the winter weather. Havey’s Hill was too icy Friday night for the planned toboggan party. The three-day carnival wrapped up Saturday, starting with a breakfast, where the children were entertained with a magic show by Michael Bourada and circus comedy with Zip E the Clown. In the afternoon, Kyle Felhaver kept toes tapping with a twoand-a-half-hour performance and there was free swimming and hockey action at the Jack Smith Memorial Hockey tournament continued. In conjunction with the Arnprior Optimist Winter Carnival, the Arnprior Masons hosted a chip child identification program from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The program consists of gathering vital child information, digital fingerprints, digital photographs, video and a dental bite impression or intra oral swab for DNA. The data is burned onto a CD, and given to the parents or guardian – nothing is kept on file. For the second year in a row, the carnival closed with a wellattended Robbie Burns-styled wine tasting party, hosted by the GrapeScot. Guests learned how to select great-value wines, storing, serving and matching wine with food. They also kicked up their heels on the dance floor. Local businesses are key to the carnival’s overall success, a reality not lost on Optimist Club vice-president Chris Toner. “The Arnprior Optimist Club is grateful for all of our local sponsors. Their support is so greatly appreciated,” Toner told the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC prior to the event. “We are so blessed to live in a strong local community that happily supports each others’ endeavors,” he said. “The Optimist Club prides itself as a service club that fundraises in Arnprior – for Arnprior. Supporting our local businesses is very important to us, everyone should shop local.”

The annual Arnprior Optimists Winter Carnival school obstacle race at the Nick Smith Centre attracted a large crowd of students Jan. 17. There were concerns the turnout would be down dramatically because of public school teachers’ not participating in extra-curriculars as a way to vent their anger over Bill 115, but that didn’t happen. Parents and Optimist members, many who are teachers, made sure the races ran smoothly. Above, Chris Perfitt ensures he doesn’t miss the puck drop at the races.

Masons help protect the ones you love at Arnprior clinic 20,000 of which are in Ontario alone. Child Find Ontario’s current caseload includes runaways, parental abductions, stranger abductions and children who become lost or separated from their families. Freemasons undertook the challenge and developed the MasoniCH.I.P program that uses modern, police-approved techniques to create a child identification kit “for the ones you love.”

At the Mason child identification program Saturday in Arnprior are Mason Bill Lightbody with son Tyler, along with Masons Pat Brooks and Joe Almassy.

The kit collects photos, video, voice recordings, digital fingerprints, dental impressions, and saliva swabs, as well as traditional statistical information (height, weight, hair and eye colour, etc.). It makes the kit the most comprehensive Child Identification Program available. The information is matched to work seamlessly with Ontario’s law enforcement providers. By being so compatible, the critical indentifying information can be broadcast and shared more quickly than ever before to assist with the safe recovery of missing children. It only takes eight minutes from the time the CD is loaded into a police computer for an Amber Alert to be broadcast throughout North America The Mason iCh.I.P. program is brought exclusively to families by dedicated Masons and their volunteers, free of charge along with their sentiment that they hope “you never need to use it.” Over 50,000 child identification kits have been issued in Ontario to date.

EMC lifestyle - Something was amiss at the Northcote School. First of all, Marguirite sneaked in like she had just been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. She usually made a grand entrance so that everyone could get a good look at whatever fancy outfit she had worn that day, but not only did she come in just as Miss Crosby rang the nine o’clock bell, she wore a wool toque and made no move to take it off. Hats in school were strictly forbidden. She went right up to Miss Crosby’s desk and whispered in her ear. Miss Crosby looked at the hat, made a great sigh, and nodded towards Marguirite’s desk. Every eye was on the young girl who didn’t have a friend in the entire Northcote School as she meekly took her seat. Well! If that didn’t just tie it. She was going to be allowed to wear her hat in school. None of us would dare be so bold. Even the boys, the second they walked in the door, removed their caps and hung them on a hook at the back of the room. At recess Joyce, Velma and I got in a huddle to discuss this latest caper, and none of us could imagine why Marguirite, who took such pride

in her golden curls, would choose to hide them under a toque. We all knew Marguirite, who thought she was a dead ringer for Shirley Temple, got those curls from Ducharme’s Beauty Parlour, and the golden hair right out of a bottle of dye from Ritza’s Drug Store in Renfrew. Even the boys at the Northcote School noticed the toque. Cecil made some snide remarks, and jabbed Emerson in the ribs, but that day that’s about all the attention they gave to Marguirite ... there were more important things to do at recess, like pouring water from the pump on the small square of ice behind the schoolhouse. Miss Crosby rang the bell, and recess was over, and when we went inside, Marguirite’s head was still covered. Well, it was lunch time, and we all knew it wouldn’t be long before either Cecil or Emerson would get to the bottom of Marguirite’s hat in school. We were allowed to eat inside on winter days, but the second the last mouthful was down, we headed outside to play ... either on the small patch of ice, or on the excuse for a hill that the senior boys had built up by piling snow

over the wood fence at the back of the yard. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Emerson and Cecil whispering and the look they both had on their faces spelt trouble. With one fell-swoop they tore past Marguirite and Cecil made a dive for the toque and they never stopped running until they reached the patch of ice at the back of the schoolhouse. Marguirite looked like she had been shot with a gun. She stood frozen on the spot. And finally, we could all see why the toque never left her head. Right down the back, where there should have been a cascade of golden curls, was a streak of orange hair, and it was as straight as a stick. She clamped her hand over the spot, and ran into the schoolhouse like someone possessed. Before our lunch hour was over, Miss Crosby rang the big brass bell, and we knew Cecil and Emerson were in for it. They had no idea where they had dropped the toque. My youngest brother Earl was sent out to look for it. The two culprits, without asking, knew what was coming. Without even being asked, they went up to Miss Crosby’s

desk and held out a hand. She brought the strap down with a thunder that could be heard in Admaston. The boys never flinched. They got far worse fighting each other in the back yard. Earl got the toque, covered with snow, and handed it to Marguirite, who by this time was crying great running tears, wiping her eyes with one hand, and covering the offending spot at the back of her head with the other. Marguirite always wanted everyone to believe she was born with the golden hair, with the curls to match. That day, everyone at the Northcote School knew different. But the incident was soon forgotten, and Marguirite’s mother must have made a fast trip into Renfrew that day, because when Marguirite walked into the classroom the next day, her head was a mass of golden curls. We had no idea how her mother got rid of the orange streak, but Joyce, Velma and I were pretty sure she had to cut it out with a pair of scissors. Joyce, the most kind-hearted of the three of us thought we should all feel sorry for the girl, and maybe tell her so. But when we took a vote between the three of us, Joyce lost.

EMC news - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) remind riders that a snowmobile can quickly take you away from areas where services, communities and emergency assistance are easily accessible or available. Responsible snowmobilers take charge of their own safety and well-being by preparing their sled, gear and equipment before the ďŹ rst ride of the season. In addition to getting properly trained and knowing the law, there are other factors to consider when getting ready for safe snowmobiling: Service Your Sled - Avoid breakdowns that can leave

you stranded by having your sled professionally serviced before your ďŹ rst ride. Carry a Repair Kit - Ensure that you have either the sled manufacturer’s tool kit or one of your own on board, including owner’s manual, spare belt and spark plugs. Inspect Your Gear and Equipment - Make sure that everything still ďŹ ts and works properly, and that nothing is missing before you head out. Prepare for First Aid - Preassembled ďŹ rst aid kits can be found at outdoor stores and online and so can information about ďŹ rst aid courses. Get a Survival Kit - Any unexpected day or night spent out in the cold will be easier with assistance from a good

survival kit, found at outdoors stores and online, including information about winter survival courses. Go High Tech - Devices like GPS, cell phones, satellite phones and SPOT Personal Trackers can be very useful in avoiding or dealing with emergency situations. Contact Companions Snowmobiling is more fun with riding buddies, and safer too, so avoid riding alone by getting in touch with friends and family who can join you on the trails. Review Safety Tips - As experienced as you may be, it’s always smart to renew your familiarity with your sled’s safety manual and the Safe Riders messaging on

Lewis added. “In light of these Festive R.I.D.E. statistics, we will be as committed as ever in 2013 to incorporating the high visibility, professional trafďŹ c stops, public education and measurable outcomes supported by our Provincial TrafďŹ c Safety Program, in our ongoing effort to reduce impaired driving on Ontario roads,â€? said Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division. The OPP is reminding the public they will continue to conduct R.I.D.E. stops throughout the year on Ontario roads. The OPP thank and recognize Ontario drivers who kept everyone safe over the holidays by driving sober, as well as those who arranged for designated drivers and made alternate arrangements for getting home during their holiday celebrations.

Every year the OPP receive complaints about snowmobilers who ignore no-trespassing signs, disregard speed limits and consume alcohol while snowmobiling.

EMC news – The OPP has expressed disappointment with the high number of motorists charged with impaired driving over the holidays and say they will work harder than ever this year to deter offenders. An OPP release notes that despite continued warnings that police would be as visible as ever during the Festive R.I.D.E. (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign, the number of charges is the highest of eight campaigns from 2005 to present. Over the ďŹ ve-and-a-half-week campaign (Nov. 24 to Jan. 2), OPP ofďŹ cers charged 693 persons with having a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) over 0.08 (or over 80 milligrams). OfďŹ cers also issued a total of 625 Warn Range suspensions to motorists caught driving with a BAC between 0.05 and 0.08 (or between 50 and 80 milligrams). During last year’s campaign (2011-2012), OPP ofďŹ cers charged 682 motorists with impaired driving and issued a Warn Range suspension to 583 drivers. According to the OPP, there is no excuse for the number of impaired drivers being on the rise and it is a simple matter of people continuing to make bad decisions that impact public safety over the holidays. “We had hoped to see these numbers de-

Peisley is the owner of home-based salon Pearl Hair Studio on Timmons Road just off the Kinburn Side Road near Pakenham and she wants to get the word out to former and potential clients, many from Arnprior, that she’s ready to start welcoming them to the shop she’s got set up at the country home she shares with husband and kids.

Services available at Pearl include barbering and hair styling including updos, permanent and non-permanent false lashes, facial waxing, ear and nose piercings, makeup, fashion clip-in hair extensions, scalp massages and hand and arm massages.

or’s Grove Nursing Home as their stylist. Peisley said she offers an alternative to clients who might not like the atmosphere of traditional salons, where gossip and personality clashes can often be the reality. “I want to beautify people from the inside as opposed to just the outside,” said Peisley. She has created a retrothemed space in a relaxed country setting that clients appreciate, she said. “You can come here and relax and not worry about anything,” she said. She relishes the opportunity to be at home with her kids and work doing what she loves. Raised on the family farm in Pakenham, Peisley said the idea of getting into the hair industry came about when her father became sick with cancer and they were forced to sell the farm. “I’d always been interested in fashion and hair and I liked it and was good at it,” she said. And not only does she have family and work close by every day, things have come full circle for Peisley and her husband, who have a small farming operation that includes laying hens, meat birds and bees.

6XSSRUWLQJ 6HQLRUV LQ WKHLU RZQ +RPHV 6XSSRUWLQJ 6HQLRUV LQ WKHLU RZQ +RPHV Ray and Margaret Gauthier are an easy going couple who moved to Arnprior two years ago. Married for almost 53 years, they easily finish each other sentences. In the last few years they’ve had some health concerns. These concerns resulted in Margaret living apart from Ray at both the Villa and Island View, while Ray recovered from a serious health issue. While both will admit that the care Margaret received at both facilities was good, there really was no place she’d rather be than home with Ray. A few years ago Margaret simply would not have had the option to stay in the home. However, over the past few years the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care has funded Assisted Living Services Programs throughout Ontario’s Local Health Integration Networks (LHIN). Arnprior Regional Health knowing that there were significant gaps in the health care services for seniors in our community applied for funding from the Champlain LHIN . This funding was to cover a project where personal support workers (PSW) would visit clients in their homes to assist with personal care, meal preparation, medication management and light housekeeping, as well as other services and supports that allow seniors to remain in their own homes. The initial funding was to support 10 clients. Eligibility requirements include being medically stable, live within 15 minutes of the base location (the Grove), over the age of 65, and living in a home or apartment. Each client’s home is equipped with an emergency response system that is linked to the assisted living staff and is active 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Ray and Margaret Gauthier, participants in the Assisted Living Services offered by Arnprior Regional Health.

Ray and Margaret are grateful for this program, “Living in our home is what we want. The ladies who come to see us have been helping Margaret with her physiotherapy on her arm. She now has much less pain and has reduced the amount of Tylenol she has to take,” Ray explains. When asked about the level of care received, Margaret and Ray are in agreement “On a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being excellent, these girls are a 5 plus, there is nothing they could be doing better. They help her with her shower and help us change the beds, they make us food, they get Margaret walking, we just really can’t ask for better.”

Services for Seniors at a Glance Assisted Living Services through the CCAC

613-310-2222 Kathleen Nunn, is a Coordinator of this program and has been very pleased with its success. “We have a viable option to offer seniors that supports them in their desire to stay at home. Some clients are visited multiple times every day, while others like the Gauthiers receive care three times a week,” she explains,. “Clients determine their care requirements in collaboration with us. We also work closely Meals on Wheels with other services, such as Meals on Wheels and programs offered through Arnprior Braeside McNab Seniors at Home and the CCAC.” 613-623-7981 The success of this program was realized recently when funding was received for an additional 10 clients in November 2012. Anyone interested in the Assisted Living Services Program may call the Community Care Access Center at (613) 310-2222. If you are interested in the Meals on Wheels program call 613-623-7981.

# 4134 BRIE Brie has been at the shelter since August 2011 when she was rescued from a local pound, because of her dislike for other cats she must live in a cage. Brie is a beautiful tabby cat that is approx. 3 years old. She is a ďŹ esty little cat that is affectionate and friendly. Brie would like to ďŹ nd a quiet adult home where she can be the only pet. She loves to be petted and will head bump you for attention. She is a clean, quiet, loving cat that will make a great companion.

SUPPLIES NEEDED THIS WEEK: bleach, toilet paper, paper towels, pet safe DE ICER

EMC lifestyle – I have for the most part written about dogs. So, fur a change of pace, I decided to write about cat grooming. Grooming your cat is not just about making them look nice, it can also help to stimulate circulation and remove knots, dead hair, dirt and loose hairs, helping to minimize unpleasant hair balls. It also gives you the chance to check for parasites as well as develop a strong bond with your cat. For cats with a semi-longhair or long and thick coat, regular grooming is essential to prevent knots from forming Start by assessing your cat’s coat. He or she may appear to be in good condition, but running your ďŹ ngers through the fur may tell another tale. Matting can be found on the shoulders, hips, underbelly, back of the legs and underarms. Older cats or cats with weight issues will have difďŹ culty grooming themselves especially their backs and back ends causing severe matting. Urine and feces can ball up between their legs, which can cause infection. In the event a cat becomes matted to a point where brushing and combing is painful, then the only recommendation

Pet Talk

IAN STUPP would be to shave the mats out. Shaving a cat is usually termed a lion clip. As it sounds, a professional groomer speciďŹ cally trained to groom cats removes the fur through out the body leaving part of the front and back legs as well as the head and mane. Hence the name lion clip. Easy as it sounds, cats are not always willing to participate and even when they are they are not always co-operative. THEIR OWN BEAT

Cats unlike dogs are not taken to kitten classes and socialized with other cats. Cats generally march to their own beat and have short attention spans. Even the friendliest of cats

can be dangerous to groom. Unlike a dog bite, which can be a gaping wound possibly requiring stitches, a cat bite is like a puncture wound causing bacteria to be inserted and distributed through out the blood stream causing a major infection. Cat claws are dangerous. A simple swat from a cats paw can lead to stitches. Just because a groomer can successfully groom dogs, it does not automatically make them a cat groomer. For the safety of the cat and the groomer, I cannot stress the importance of ďŹ nding a groomer that has experience in grooming cats. If your cat is too aggressive to be groomed, than the recommendation would be to take your cat to a veterinarian that can groom while under sedation. Never ever have a groomer agree to shaving any cat or dog while under the inuence of a sedative regardless how mild. Groomers are not medically trained to assess a pet under sedation. Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming at 118 John St. N., Arnprior. For comments or suggestions, he can be reached at 613-623-6200 or wagswhiskers@hotmail.com.

Skaters provide boost for food bank

Join a community giving circle for the food bank continuing to gather and deliver monthly donations to the food bank ever since. The concept of a community giving circle is one whereby individuals, families and workplaces commit to supporting a cause in an ongoing way by ‘circling around it’ with consistent support. The concept lends itself well to supporting the Arnprior Food Bank because hunger is persistent, as is the need to replenish food resources to assist those individuals and families in the community who require crisis or supplemental support.

In the present economic times, there is tremendous need in most communities, Arnprior and area’s included. People who agree to be part of the giving circle volunteer to donate one can or more of food items each month. Some members donate a shopping card for a local grocery store, so that the food bank may purchase necessary food items when low, or special items such as formula for babies. Giving circle members can either drop off the donations at Mulvey’s house during the last week of every month,

ARNPRIOR'S HISTORIC THEATRE R0021863995

About 200 people attended the White Lake Marina’s annual free skate Sunday at the Nick Smith Centre, making it the biggest turnout in its four-year history. Skaters went through 160 cups of hot chocolate and 400 Timbits. The boat normally at centre ice to accept donations for the Arnprior and District Food Bank was iced in, but skaters filled four of the big 25gallon containers full of donations. People of all age attended the skate, including a mother who skated her youngster in a buggy around the ice. Left, skate organizer Andra Bettencourt enjoys the outing with her daughter Cheyanne and Kira Desarmia (behind).

EMC lifestyle – The volunteers of the Arnprior and District Food Bank have issued a heartfelt thank you to the community for the generous donations of both food and funds that ensured the needy were assisted during the Christmas season. “The support from all sectors of the community made it possible for our cli-

ents to have a Christmas,� said food bank president Kathy Tonkin. “The donations were above and beyond anything we received before.� EXTRAORDINARY LARGESSE

She said the “extraordinary largesse� enabled the food bank to provide a Christmas package of foods and treats to each family or client, in addition to an ample supply of food.

Fifteen needy families were sponsored by generous businesses and individuals, said Tonkin, explaining each sponsorship included Christmas dinner with all the trimmings and gifts for each family member. “The volunteers say a big thank you for making this possible, for without their (community’s) support and compassion, there would be no food bank, she added. The food bank is located in the basement of St. John Chrysostom Church and is open most Monday mornings.

Tim’s pennies will send kids to camp EMC lifestyle – Every penny really does count for the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. Each year, the Foundation collects almost $1 million in pennies dropped into collection boxes at Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada. Starting Jan. 21 through to Feb. 24, Tim Horton Children’s Foundation is asking Canadians to give their remaining pennies a fond farewell by donating them to support kids in need across Canada with the gift of camp. The Tim Horton Children’s Foundation started in 1975 in Parry Sound with one camp and 200 kids. It now operates six year-round camps across North America, including one in the Quyon area, and has served more than 165,000 kids through its programs. Children in communities across Canada are

sponsored by Tim Hortons restaurant owners to attend for free one of three types of programs offered, including a traditional summer camp (ages 9-12), a year-round camp serving schools and youth groups (ages 8-18) in the fall, winter and spring, and a five-level program focused on building lifelong leadership skills (ages 13-18). All programs are designed to increase self-confidence, self-esteem and teach leadership skills that will continue to benefit campers for years to come. In 2012, the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation sent more than 15,000 children to camp. More than 75 per cent of revenue generated by the Foundation comes from Camp Day activities and Tim Hortons coin boxes, with the collections at Tim Hortons counters and drivethrus raising about $7 million annually.

Health Unit issues cold weather alert

EMC lifestyle – Are health units are urging the public to take appropriate precautions during the cold weather that is expected to stretch into next week. Some conditions during cold weather can cause serious health conditions and even death. With a wind chill of -15oC or colder, unprotected skin can freeze in under 30 minutes, and the risk of developing hypothermia is very high, warns the health unit. During very cold weather, everyone is at risk; however the elderly, infants and children, people taking certain prescription medications, and people with pre-existing health conditions are in greater danger. There is also an increased risk of hypothermia for outdoor workers and people living without adequate heat or shelter. During the cold temperatures, the health unit strongly encourages the public to check on a neighbour or friend who may be isolated, disabled, or living alone and have a greater risk of suffering cold weather related injuries. As well the health unit encourages homeless people to

get in from the cold. During cold weather everyone should take the following precautions: • Wear layers of warm dry clothing including a hat, mitts, and a layer to block the wind; • Drink warm non-alcoholic beverages, non-caffeinated beverages such as herbal teas, apple cider or soup; • Cover exposed skin surfaces when outdoors; • Maintain a heated environment of around 20oC/ 68oF; • Be aware of how your medications or health conditions may increase your risk; • Be aware of the early signs of frostbite: white or gray spots on skin or areas having lost feeling - tingling and pain can also be a warning sign of frost bite usually in the hands, feet, nose and ears; • Beware of the early signs of hypothermia: unable to think clearly, shivering, loss of memory, lethargy slurred speech or loss of consciousness means immediate medical attention is required; Visit www.healthunit.org or for specific cold weather questions, call the Health Ac-

tion Line at 1-800-660-5853. COLD WEATHER CAR CARE

With bone-chilling temperatures continuing all week. CAA South Central Ontario warns that as the mercury drops, so does your car’s battery power. “The cold and frigid temperatures can drain the power from your vehicle’s battery,� cautioned the CAA’s Silvana Aceto. “Before you attempt to start your car, make sure you have turned off all your accessories including the heater, radio and lights.� The average life of a battery is 3-5 years, but driving conditions, weather and lack of care can shorten the lifespan of a battery. CAA recommends drivers keep the following items in their vehicle: ice scraper and snow brush, booster cables, extra clothing and footwear, blankets and sleeping bags, fully charged smart phone, windshield washer fluid, bottled water, and granola or energy bars.

Teachers stage legal protest over Bill 115 Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

EMC news - Perhaps the cold was appropriate, as local educators turned a cold shoulder to both the frigid weather and the Ontario government Tuesday afternoon. The Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario members’ after-school protest in front of Renfrew town hall was a follow-up to the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation protest by about 100 educators last week at MPP John Yakabuski’s Pembroke office. Numbers weren’t as high this week, but the nearly 50 teachers, including several from Arnprior, from nine schools had the same message - they aren’t happy about the Ontario government’s use of Bill 115 to impose contracts on about 126,000 education workers and teachers across the province. The law, which was passed in September, was scheduled to be repealed yesterday (Wednesday). This is like repealing capital punishment after hanging everyone on death row, said Jeff Barber, the Local 28 president of the OSSTF, who attended Tuesday’s protest where the temperature was 18 Celsius. “The only good news is once the bill is repealed it will help the dust to settle, so we can have a better picture of what our imposed contract will look like,” added Barber. RCI teacher Adam Noack, who was among those protesting Tuesday, said Bill 115 was a demonstration of disrespect for him as a teacher and an individual.

did,” said Barber. “The real scary part is: Is there a Bill 116? Is there a Bill 117? How far are they willing to go to achieve their goals? We’ve maintained right from the outset that if everyone can sit down and negotiate, everyone will be that much happier. We’ll end up with a deal that will satisfy both sides.” Barber says the OSSTF and ETFO also plan to meet with the governing Liberal party’s new leadership team following this weekend’s leadership convention, while evaluating the teachers’ role in extracurricular activities and other matters. Tuesday’s protest in Renfrew did not include the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board, whose tentative agreement was among 65 ratified by the Ontario government Dec. 31. Another 400 other contracts were “implemented” by Education Minister Lauren Broten on Jan. 3. Meanwhile, teachers are saying they could very well withdraw involvement for most extracurricular activities until their current contract ends Aug. 31, 2014. Tuesday’s protest was attended by teachers, educational assistants and other employees from the Opeongo, RCI, Arnprior and Barry’s Bay high schools and from the elementary public schools at Walter Zadow, Admaston, Queen Elizabeth, Central and McNab. Elementary 5eachers have discussed also holding an after-school protest in Arnprior, with Wednesday, Jan. 30 a possible date.

erals and NDP taking power from educators and handing it to union leaders,” said PC leader Tim Hudak said. “Let’s give power back to people who actually work with our kids.” He said core teaching re-

sponsibilities such as marking papers, preparing report cards, parent-teacher interviews and work with students who need extra help should be part of the definition of a teacher’s job in the Education Act.

If elected government, the PCs will give school boards and principals the flexibility to reward teachers for beforeand-after school involvement through less supervisory time and relief from other duties, he added.

Arnprior high school teacher Tim Waterhouse, left, talks to teachers John Pierce of Opeongo High School and Lance Robertson, right, of Renfrew Collegiate Institute during Tuesday’s demonstration to protest the government’s use of Bill 115. Teacher Laura Carter or Arnprior District High School walked around with a placard that read: “We’re willing to freeze. Let’s have democracy, please!” Other placards included: “Negotiate, don’t legislate” and “Respect collective bargaining rights.” Another ADHS teacher, Tim Waterhouse, said it was important to attend the protest to show the government and the public that it’s not right to take away one’s right to bargain freely for a working contract. “This is an imposed contract,” he stressed. “This is not a collective agreement.”

In a Monday (Jan. 21) news release, the Liberal government indicated the legislation “achieved its goal of ensuring fair, balanced and responsible collective agreements for teachers and support staff while protecting the gains made in education and reflecting the province’s fiscal reality.” The bill sparked legal protests in December and plans for a province-wide protest Jan. 11, but the Ontario Labour Relations Board ruled early that same morning that such a protest would be illegal. The Jan. 11 protest didn’t happen, but teachers gathered

EMC news – Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives have indicated they would make it mandatory for teachers to participate in some extra-curricular activities. The Tories are also talking about providing incentives to get teachers to take on extra-curriculars as part of their jobs. The party has said that principals and teachers should be deciding if they should be doing extra-curriculars, not Toronto bureaucrats and union leaders. Principals and teachers should have more control over in-school decisions, including class size, teaching methods and tailoring programs to meet the needs of their schools, said the party’s education critic Lisa MacLeod. She said that the government must also prevent union leaders from “intimidating teachers with the threat of fines” if they participate in extra-curriculars. “It’s none of their business

Tuesday, after school hours, to legally express their concerns with Bill 115 and its impact. While the government said Bill 115 was used to promote goodwill and stability, Kelly Melanson, the ETFO’s local first-vice president, said it has done anything but that. “We want the public to know that this (protest) is continuing because of the government’s actions,” said Melanson, who also teaches at Rockwood Public School in Pembroke. “The point of today’s (Jan. 22) rally is to make our government aware that we will continue to fight against this bill until is completely forgotten about.”

Bill 115 opened a very dangerous door, added Melanson. “We fought for decades for the rights that we have in our agreements. We don’t want any government that’s going to go in, above the law, and change things that have been there in contracts for decades. We want to make sure that this door, that has been opened, is slammed as tight as possible.” Meanwhile, ETFO and OSSTF are advising their members to refrain from voluntary or extracurricular activities, including certain professional development, student council meetings and sports. Some scattered extra-curriculars have resumed, but most haven’t. Local ETFO president Allison Ryan, who was out of town on business and unable to attend Tuesday’s protest, still spoke to The Chronicle Guide EMC. “Our members are still upset with the fact the government used Bill 115 … We are asking members to think very carefully about what they do. Because (the government) imposed a contract doesn’t mean you can impose goodwill.” And legal protests are one way to expressing that displeasure, said Ryan. A Renfrew County bus load of educators will join a protest at Saturday’s Liberal leadership convention in Toronto. Meanwhile, Barber says teachers remain concerned that what happened to them (with the ministry’s imposition of contracts) could be repeated in other job sectors. “We’re trying to put an end to Bill 115 and what Bill 115

Cadets go on winter exercise, seek more members The Arnprior Army Cadets, members of the 2360 Lanark and Scottish Squadron, participated in a winter training exercise called Operation Snowflake on the weekend. Four officers and 18 cadets attended the Connaught Training Centre in Ottawa for the exercise Saturday. However, the high winds and drifting snow forced the cancellation of Sunday’s snowshoeing and the cadets came back to Arnprior and went swimming instead. The squadron has embarked on a recruitment drive. All girls and boys from age 12 to 18 are welcome to join the free program. The Army cadets meet each Monday at 6:30 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre to learn a wide variety of skills.

Interested individuals and parties are invited to attend a Public Information Centre (PIC) between 6:00pm and 8:00pm on January 29th, 2013 at the Arnprior Public Library located at 21 Madawaska Street, Arnprior ON. The purpose of the PIC is for the Town to present the current findings of a Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Master Plan study and to solicit public input. Background The Town of Arnprior retained Stantec Consulting Ltd. to prepare an Infrastructure Master Plan to determine water and wastewater infrastructure needs to accommodate short-term (2016), midterm (2021) and long-term (2031) municipal services and infrastructure requirements. The Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Master Plan will serve as a guiding document to support operational and capital improvements to the water and wastewater systems. It will also serve to meet existing regulations along with future capacity requirements of existing services and planned growth within the Town of Arnprior. The Infrastructure Master Plan includes a hydraulic assessment of the potable water distribution system (watermain, pumps, storage and treatment) and the sanitary sewer collection system (sewers, pumps, treatment). Growth projections and potential development areas were included in the overall assessment of future infrastructure needs. Problems and opportunities were identified and alternative solutions considered. A servicing plan to meet the future needs was developed through optimizing the performance of existing infrastructure and planned phasing of future infrastructure.

Line dancers entertain hospital patients EMC lifestyle – Members of the day-time line dance program, which was introduced last fall at Arnprior’s Nick Smith Centre had a great ‘kick-off’ to their winter session. They visited the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital to entertain patients and their care-givers from 2 to 3 p.m. Jan. 14. The special performance was organized through the hospital’s activities co-ordinator Michelle Johnston, along with Hyacinth Chatterton, the line dance instructor at the Nick Smith Centre. Chatterton and her group, the ‘Arnprior Hy-Liners’, welcome opportunities to be

involved in this type of local outreach. They also enjoy the chance to share this popular dance form with various groups within the community. The Arnprior Hy-Liners started line dancing at the NSC in mid- October 2012, and Chatterton says she has appreciated not only their enthusiasm and sense of fun and enjoyment, but also their creativity and dedication during the weekly practices. She feels that this combined approach allowed them to be able to select several dances in order to present about an hour of entertainment at the hospital. From mid-October to midDecember last, there were

about 20 dancers who met weekly at the NSC, and the majority of them were available to participate in January’s hospital performance. Their audience especially enjoyed the variety of dances selected, including country, folk, Latin, waltzes and western swing. As well as getting a very enthusiastic reception, the dancers also received an open invitation to visit and perform again at the hospital whenever they are available. Participation in the program delivered at the Nick Smith Centre is open to everyone – all ages, all levels, and both genders. In addition, the first visit is free, so that pro-

They may choose to attend regularly each week or for those whose time-tables do not permit them to do this, participation as a ‘drop-in’ provides the second option. Classes are held every Monday from 1:30 to 3 p.m., and the winter session will continue until early March. Anyone who is interested may register in person at the NSC at 77 James St. For further information, call the centre at 613-623-7301 or Chatterton at 613-623-0976.

EMC entertainment – Valley troubadour Lyle Dillabough will entertain at the White Lake Restaurant this Saturday, Jan. 26. Dillabough will host Tales & Tunes with the Troubadour from 7 to 9 p.m. He explains that the gathering will be a “living room/kitchen style event.” There is no admission charge, as no one is getting paid, he noted, adding the restaurant owner is keeping her place open after hours so the community can gather there. It will be a good-will evening “for the fun of it,” Dillabough said. “It’s just meant to be a ‘tyme’ where folks are invited to stop by and share stories, sing songs, (bring their instruments if they want) socialize and just have a mid-winter’s night out … Just like old times.” The White Lake Restaurant has the right atmosphere for such an event, because it’s like “going home to grandma’s kitchen,” said Dillabough, who performed there once before a few years ago. “It’s like ‘food for the Soul’ for me. Great feeling. In today’s world of high tech and fast paced world, it’s nice sometimes to slow down and try to experience once again real community, atmosphere and people as they truly are.” While the event is free, donations of cash or non-perishable food items for the Arnprior and District Food Bank are welcome. The White Lake Restaurant is located on the main corner of the village across from the general store.
