Residents angry that some residential sidewalks in town are filled with snow will have to wait a little longer for town hall to discuss the issue. Parents along Frieday Street and Stonehaven Way have voiced their frustration with pockets of the sidewalks filled with hills of snow. Lidia Palik posted

my children have to walk along because they don’t qualify for busing to and from school. “Seeing countless children use this route and having to walk on the street every day, at the same time
that speeding commuters are taking the shortcut to Tim Hortons, is a disaster waiting to happen.” She asked rhetorically if residents don’t pay enough in taxes to ensure safe sidewalks. The post was liked by about two dozen readers and was followed by an extensive dialogue between several. See TOWN, page 2

The Arnprior and District Museum is seeking help from the public to find photographs of two Arnprior veterans. Museum curator Janet Carlile explains that the photographs are needed for the ‘Arnprior on the World Stage
exhibit, which will be opening Feb. 19. The museum has been searching high and low for photographs of First World War veteran Philias Turcott and Second World War soldier Arthur Turcotte. Both served in the Canadian army and were prisoners of war. The museum has considerable information about the

two soldiers who grew up in this area and returned here after their war-time service. “But we’re missing their photographs,” Carlile said. Turcott was born on Jan. 27, 1891 and died on April 16, 1957. He served in France and was captured by the Germans after being severely injured. See NEW EXHIBIT, page 2

“Also, you are providing a clear and safer access for residents using the sidewalk.” Coun. Dan Lynch introduced a “notice of motion” on the issue during the Jan. 25 regular meeting of council. He is asking his colleagues to vote in favour of sidewalk clearing of Frieday Street (from Staye Court Drive to Stonehaven Way) and Stonehaven Way (from Frieday Street to Baskin Drive West). “The safety of children walking

to school is a priority in the Town of Arnprior,” reads Lynch’s motion. “There is a requirement to provide a safe means of getting children to A.J. Charbonneau School.” However, notices of motion cannot even be discussed during the meeting they are introduced, let alone voted on. It will be discussed at the next meeting on Feb. 8. At that time a vote could take place, or if more information is required council can defer a decision.

Carlile is particularly proud of items once owned by Alexander Stewart, a veteran of the Boer War. Stewart was a member of the Lord Strathcona Infantry Division and his uniform is probably the best preserved of any leftover from that period. It was once on display at the Canadian War Museum, so “we were really fortunate to get it,” Carlile said.

“His leg was blown off … he was lucky to have survived,” noted Carlile. She said that thanks to family donations the museum has “quite a good biography” on Turcott, as well as his Arnprior Homecoming medal and a letter he received from King George congratulating him on his release from the German POW camp. The museum doesn’t have as much biographical information on Turcotte, but does know he served in Hong Kong. It has his letters sent to his family from a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp where he
was held from 1941 to the end of the Second World War. “We love to have a photograph of him,” said Carlile. She said that the museum has been given some “really wonderful stuff ” for the exhibit that will put the spotlight on Arnprior’s “hugely important” role in the two world wars as well as more modern conflicts. “Until now tangible proof of Arnprior’s involvement in the two World Wars has been held in family lore, archives and dark corners of the museum,” a museum announcement of the exhibit explains.

She said Arnprior on the World Stage will be a changing, evolving exhibit, growing as more donations are made. “I would hope people realize that putting grandpa’s medals away in a drawer isn’t helping to keep the veterans’ memories alive,” she said. The exhibit was made possible by a $32,000 World War Commemorations Community Fund grant. “It’s great to see it come together,” said Carlile. “We got some very important and interesting people from Arnprior in the wars … people should know about them.” Anyone with leads on possible photographs of soldiers Turcott and Turcotte are asked to call Carlile at 613-623-4902.

The snow on sidewalks in the area was also the subject of a letter to the editor criticizing town council in last week’s Chronicle-Guide. According to the municipal government’s website, “it is just too costly and time-consuming” to plow the snow from every sidewalk in town. The town removes snow from sidewalks leading to area schools and elsewhere, but not what it considers secondary roads. About one-
third are plowed. It encourages homeowners to clear the sidewalk in front of their property. There is nothing in the bylaw that allows for fines against homeowners who do not remove snow from the sidewalk outfront of their home. “Although you are not required to clear the sidewalk in front of your home, it does help to reduce the amount of snow volume in your driveway when the plow passes by,” reads the winter control document.

Domestic dispute cases continue Renfrew-Arnprior OPP continue to deal with several domestic dispute calls a week. Of the 332 calls for service the local OPP detachment investigated during the last two weeks, 13 were for domestic disputes. One woman was charged with
breach of an undertaking and a man was charged with disobeying a court order. Police urge people in an abusive relationship to consider seeking help. “Talk to your physician, a trusted family member, a police officer or call the Bernadette McCann House
for Women. Physical violence has no place in a healthy relationship.” If you require the OPP, call 1-888-310-1122. The call goes directly to the OPP dispatch centre where a call taker will collect information and dispatch an officer.
MNR lays ATV stolen, recovered charges in horse death Staff
OPP Constable Chris Colton is continuing. Meanwhile, OPP are investigating after a wallet was stolen at Calabogie Peaks on Saturday Jan. 16. The victim reported placing their wallet on the roof of their car while they placed items in the trunk about 4 p.m. They believe someone stole the wallet while they were busy at the trunk. “Always keep valuables safe in your possession or locked up,” advise police.
Fraudsters continue to troll for victims Renfrew-Arnprior OPP officers continue to be busy investigating frauds and scams. Police report several new cases in the past week, with most frauds in the form of phone calls with scammers trying to obtain credit card numbers, banking information or other personal information. Repeated alerts issued by the OPP appear to be getting through as most people recognized the calls as frauds and hung up the phone. However, one person reported being advised they had won a lottery. The victim sent large quantities of money to the scammers on several different occasions.
The police investigation is continuing. The OPP are warning people to be vigilant and “never” provide banking, credit card or personal information to people over the phone. If you have been a victim, police encourage you to report the incident to the OPP or the Canadian AntiFraud Centre (CAFC). Doing so will help them gather evidence and identify new trends,” they explain. “By reporting, you can prevent others from becoming victims and help put an end to fraud.” Call the CAFC for more information at 1-888-4958501 or go to their website www.antifraudcentre.ca. R0013661777-0128
Charges have been laid in the shooting death of a horse and concealment of the body. The Chronicle-Guide learned of the charges through a letter to the editor submitted by Cathy Gretzky, owner of the Burnstownarea property on which the horse was being kept at the time of the incident. The beloved horse, Mac, a 19-year-old sorrel gelding, belonged to her friend and while she is saddened by what has occurred, she is praising the efforts of Ministry of Natural Resources officials for their work on the investigation (see letter page 8). It appears that a hunter’s careless shot killed the horse. Following the discovery of the dead horse, the OPP were notified and turned the investigation over to the MNR. Ministry official Joe McCambridge said his agency does not comment on active investigations until the case has made it through the court system. He added that he has not yet been advised of the court date.
An all-terrain-vehicle was reported stolen from a Horton home, then recovered all within a matter of a couple of hours on Jan. 18. OPP report the owner called the police shortly after 6 a.m. to report a 2014 ATV stolen between 1 and 3 a.m. from Lavallee Road. A snow plow operator reported finding the stolen ATV abandoned at an intersection nearby at about 7:30 a.m. There is a suspect in the theft and the investigation by

Library seeks public input on strategic plan McNab-Braeside. “The survey is one method of gathering feedback. The board will be out in the community on Saturday, Feb. 20 to conduct brief spot interviews around town, and will also host two public discussion groups,” explained Sly-Havey. The board is encouraging residents to attend the focus group meetings on either Sunday, Feb. 7 at 2 p.m. or Thursday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. The meetings will be held in the library’s main community hall at 21 Madawaska St. in Arnprior. Each of the public meetings will be facilitated by a library board member and will not last more than two hours. “You can sign up at the library to attend one of the meetings, or simply drop in for the discussion,” said Sly-Havey. Refreshments will be provided. The Arnprior Public Library has become a community hub with
ongoing programming for children and adults, technology access, community meeting rooms and more than 300 people through the doors every day. There are more than 4,400 active library cards registered at the library and more than 120,000 items are signed out each year. Resources beyond the traditional books available for loan at the library include DVDs, eBooks, magazines, audio books, online resources such as language learning, Ancestry.ca, auto repair and health databases. “Community input through surveys and focus groups will set the direction of services and programs as we head toward our milestone anniversary and beyond,” said SlyHavey. For more information, call the library at 613-623-2279. Regular updates are also posted on the website, Facebook and Twitter.
“Dr. Reducka brings a wealth of experience having worked previously as a family physician in Renfrew County and District and as well as a medical advisor with the Canadian Medical Protective Association,” said Mr. Michael du Manoir, the board chair.
The Board of Health extended a warm welcome to Dr. Reducka and “looks forward to having her lead the delivery of public health services and programs in Renfrew County and District.” Dr. Reducka took over the post on Jan. 20.

The Arnprior Public Library will be 125 years young in 2020. Library Board members think it is important now to plan for the future with help from the entire community. To that end a survey has been created to assess current services and to create a vision of a future library. “We’re looking for input from all sectors,” said library board chair Maureen Sly-Havey. “We want to engage library users and non-users alike. Everyone’s opinion will help to develop a framework for the strategic plan.” The community will have a variety of ways to access the survey. It is currently available online from the library’s website (www.arnpriorlibrary.ca). Paper copies of the survey are being mailed out in the February tax bill in Arnprior and are also available at the library and municipal offices in Arnprior and

County finalizes $40.7-million budget, keeps levy increase to 3 per cent Renfrew County council is keeping this year’s tax levy increase to three per cent. County council needed only one day (Jan. 20) of a scheduled two-day workshop to finalize a $40.7-million budget. To keep the levy increase on existing taxpayers to “only 3 per cent,” the board in a news release explains that it restricted the rise in operating expenses to 1.8 percent. While it will be spending about $2 million more than last year, the about six per cent assessment increase due to new
growth and increase property values will provide for almost half of that. The county will use the 2.25 per cent growth in weighted current value assessment for transfer into the Infrastructure Renewal Reserve for future capital works. The county is building up reserves in face of an estimated $13 million infrastructure shortfall identified in the 10-year plan. County council also approved new debt for various projects in excess of $3 million. At the budget workshop, staff provided an update to the 10-year asset manage-
ment plan. They indicated that the entire $215 million asset renewal program can be fully funded over the next 10-year planning horizon, provided that council adheres to the principles of the Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP). The plan calls for holding the annual tax increase to three per cent as one of its key principles. Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon and Jennifer Murphy, chair of the County’s Finance and Administration Committee, led the annual budget workshop. The pair commended elected officials and staff on
finding savings that allowed the delivery of a budget that holds the levy increase to the three-per-cent goal. County council gave clear direction last September to the CAO and staff on how they would like the first draft of the budget prepared in order to minimize the financial impact on county residents. “I wish to express my appreciation to members of County council for their deliberation of the detailed budget from senior management and the various standing committees of County council and the anticipated approval of a fiscally responsible County of Ren-
Wardens’ Caucus elects Emon chairman, set priorities The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) has elected Renfrew County Warden and Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon its new chairman. The EOWC also set five key priorities at its annual inaugural meeting in Kingston Jan. 14-15. As well as electing Emon its chair for 2016, the caucus named Peterborough County Warden J. Murray Jones, the Mayor of DouroDummer, as vice-chair for a second consecutive year. Emon will represent the EOWC at board meetings of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and chair caucus meetings. The 13 EOWC members agreed upon the following five key priorities for this year. 1. Convincing the Province, Hydro One and the major natural gas providers to urgently invest in the region’s hydroelectricity and natural gas transmission systems, to provide major industrial and commercial customers with affordable expansion opportunities and greater relief in operational costs. This will allow for the creation of new jobs as well as safeguarding many others that are presently at risk, due to the lack of availability and exorbitant costs. 2. Working in tandem with the Eastern Ontario Regional Network to close the cellular network and mobile broadband gaps that exist in many rural Eastern Ontario communities. This
RENFREW COUNTY WARDEN PETER EMON is an essential service that has become indispensable for economic development, emergency services and home-based businesses. 3. Continuing research and advocacy on the Province’s consideration for “growth planning for eastern Ontario.” The EOWC has concerns on any proposal that would limit growth and economic development opportunities in rural Eastern Ontario, particularly as numerous development controls already exist in the region and most townships bordering the City of Ottawa experience little growth. 4. Supporting the Leadership Council as it begins the implementation of key actions proposed in the Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy. This council, formed in September 2015, is a financial partnership between the EOWC, the Eastern Ontario Mayors’ Committee, the Eastern Ontario Regional Network and the Ontario East Economic

Development Commission. 5. Advocating at the provincial level for an acrossthe-board decrease in Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) costs, namely by eliminating inefficiencies in service delivery, finding cost savings through the modernization of policing services, and using available technology to gather evidence for court and defence procedures. “Like my colleagues and the many Wardens before me, I am honoured to chair the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus in 2016 and help implement this year’s priorities in support of the 750,000 property taxpayers across rural Eastern Ontario,” said Emon. “As always, the EOWC will continue to extensively research the issues that affect our region and use those facts to advocate for positive changes and generate new ideas that will ultimately improve service delivery in our municipalities. “One of our major concerns this year is the proposed (by Ottawa) growthplanning exercise for Eastern Ontario – which, if implemented for the wrong reasons, could negatively impact the growth potential and economic development opportunities in many of our small and rural townships,” noted Emon. “By the same token, the EOWC will continue to lobby for regulatory changes and cost relief in the energy sector – both hydroelectric-
ity and natural gas – as the current system has left the region at a standstill in terms of expansion and growth.” “The EOWC will continue to monitor the escalating cost of policing, and will work with the Eastern Ontario Mayors’ Commit-
frew budget for 2016,” said Emon. “With a commitment to a 10-year long term financial plan, we have set a direction for council to strategically finance our Asset Management Plan. I congratulate Mr. Jim Hutton, CAO; Mr. Kutschke, treasurer; and his finance department, directors and their teams for a responsible and forward looking approach to the 2016 County of Renfrew budget.” “County Council and staff worked efficiently and effectively to ensure that the County of Renfrew continues to provide quality services to our community,” said
Murphy. “The 2016 budget was prepared with a focus on quality assurance, efficiency, transparency and affordability being the key points in the decision-making process.” The budget was expected to be officially adopted at this Wednesday’s County council meeting (after press deadline). The only councilor to speak against the proposed budget was Head, Clara and Maria Mayor Jim Gibson, who suggested the levy be increased more this year as a buffer to expected difficult economic times in the future.
tee (EOMC) and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario to find solutions that will reduce the burden to local taxpayers of providing emergency services,” added Jones. “We also look forward to working with the Eastern Ontario Regional Network as well as our federal and provincial partners to close
the cellular gaps that exist in many of our communities.” “Municipalities across the region continue to face significant financial shortfalls, and one of the most important things that the EOWC can do to alleviate that burden is by improving the conditions for growth and economic development,” concluded Emon.

M3 Eatery opens in Kenwood Centre Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com
It’s safe to say that Melissa Mosher likes the letter ‘m’. For the kick-off to the new year, she opened M3 Eatery in the Kenwood Centre in Arnprior. Owning her own business was always a dream of hers. “The M3 stands for motherhood, music and making memories as we should cherish time with family and friends,” explained Mosher. The setting is rather intimate with only places for about 30 people. The response has been better than she anticipated, many customers positively commenting on the reasonable prices and quality of food. Mosher is delighted because the reason she opened in January was to have an opportunity to get her feet wet in the business as the clientele grew. Mosher moved to Arnprior from the city. “I like it here with the small town atmosphere,” she said. M3 Eatery is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 to 4 p.m. The reason for the hours, she said, is it helps
her maintain a work-life balance as she has children and her husband may be working nights during certain weeks. To gauge interest she is also planning special events that would take place once a month during an evening. First off, will be a special Valentine’s Day evening sitting. Mosher is selling tickets and has already sold about half of the 30-seat venue. Her menu is filled with breakfast and lunch items, as has gluten-free and vegetarian options as well. There are appetizers, salads and flatbreads. The wraps and sandwiches have been proven quite popular, she said. She also serves soups and desserts. Mosher has just been granted a liquor license – so there are beer, wine, martini, cocktails and specialty coffees to quench thirst. Mosher said the mission she is set out to do is: “We are committed to providing our customers deliciously fresh, healthy home cooked meals with reasonable prices. A strong community is very important to us. “The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly and your dining experience will be memorable.”

Town offers accessibility incentives to downtown Arnprior businesses Staff
Lots happening at the Arnprior Mall Work on a major revamping of the Arnprior Shopping Centre is progressing quickly. Above a customer walks by the corridor to the north end of the mall, where the new Canadian Tire store is being built. Below right, two mall-goers peek into a store under construction. A Dollarama is coming to the mall, across from the Metro store. Rick’s Pet Stores is moving to the centre of the mall, as are outlets such as Pizza Pizza and Sports Zone located where Canadian Tire will soon be.
The Arnprior Mall is continuing to be plagued by people dumping garbage behind the centre. A frustrated mall manager has taken to posting photographs of suspects on the mall’s doors.
The Town of Arnprior is offering incentives to encourage downtown business-owners to improve accessibility in conjunction with the downtown revitalization project. In a news release last week, the town noted that accessibility has been a key focus throughout the design for the revitalization. Once the project is complete, downtown Arnprior will be considerably more accessible as all residents will have access to the services and products they require. The final design includes features such as tactile paving and depressed curbs at intersections, accessible and audible crosswalk signals, wider sidewalks, and increased accessible parking. The plans for the downtown revitalization help to eliminate barrier steps to about 35 of 90 businesses. There are also 68 business entrances in the project area that don’t currently have automatic doors. While there is no requirement pursuant to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) for existing businesses with less than 50 employees to provide barrier-free access, the Town
Wrong magician
is nevertheless implementing measures to help all businesses provide for better accessibility. To complement the physical improvements being completed through the downtown this year and next, the Town is offering an incentive grant program to assist downtown businesses in becoming more accessible. Town council adopted the Downtown Business Accessibility Incentive Grant Program last month. This new incentive grant allows downtown businesses to apply for funding of up to 50 per cent to a maximum of $1,250 towards the construction of an AODA compliant ramp and/or automatic door. The program would also wave building permit fees or encroachment fees associated with the improvement. In order to ensure eligible ramp work will be co-ordinated with the downtown revitalization project sidewalk construction, deadlines for applications for ramps specifically have been outlined in the policy. All program details and application forms can be found on the Town’s website at www.arnprior.ca/ accessibility-grant or by contacting Lindsay Wilson at 613-623-4231, ext. 1829.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Some people deserve to be suckered “There’s a sucker born every minute.� “You can nanny state all you like, you still can’t fix stupid.� In this age of computers, the Internet and social media, scammers are thriving. If only P.T. Barnum were alive today, he’d be having a field day. Almost every week, local OPP issue alerts and reports about scams tricking people into relinquishing their hard-earned money for empty promises. Last week it was people paying the price for falling for ‘your computer has a virus’ and ‘your son had an accident’ scams. There’s only so much police and government officials can do, and should do, to protect people from scammers. The authorities need to concentrate on protecting the most vulnerable - children, seniors and gentle souls - from the tricks of the fraudsters. For the rest of us, it’s buyer beware. If you let greed get the better of you and fall for some of the outrageous lines the scammers are using to reel people in, then you’ve got what’s coming to you. If you think you’re going to get rich helping somebody spirit money out of a foreign country, then you deserve to be hoodwinked. The unfortunate part is that some people get deceived, not because they’re greedy, but because of their generosity and good hearts. So certainly, police should crack down on scammers taking advantage of people’s good nature.
Older folks grew up in a time where someone’s word and a hand-shake meant something. That, sadly, isn’t the case anymore, but we don’t want society to swing so far the other way that nobody trusts anybody else. However, if some smooth-talking fellow from an impoverished country in Africa or the Caribbean is able to part the gullible from some of their wealth, then so be it. Europeans and North Americans have been taking advantage of people in Third World countries for decades, even centuries. Some western companies are still running sweatshops and extracting other countres’ resources to line their own pockets, to the detriment of jobs in Canada. Closer to home, casinos and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation draw in people with the promise of great riches (the long odds of that ever happening are wellknown). At least they provide people with entertainment for their dollars. Scamming and its offshoots have provided snake oil to an unsuspecting public for generations. These latest scams are of the same ilk, just more sophisticated and pervasive. So be on your guard, do your research and stay away from offers ‘too good to be true’. And ensure your friends and family, especially children and elders, are aware of the dangers and armed against false temptations. Let someone else who deserves it be the sucker.
Thanks to the MNR for laying charges in the horse death case
To the Editor: It is with that double edged sword of mixed emotions that I write this letter of appreciation to the Ministry of Natural Resources for their successful investigation into the disappearance, and death, of my friend Sue’s horse from our property. An illegal, careless shot taken by an otherwise good man has had such far reaching consequences that it still continues to stun
me. From Sue’s devastation to losing an animal that she loved, my loss of the carefree visits from my friend as she came to care for her animal, the violation of the peaceful flow of our farm, all the way to a new-found mistrust of hunters.  Reg and I, although not hunters, have allowed others to enjoy their sport on our property. We are no longer able to do so.

Tips on how to avoid the winter blues bor, a care co-ordinator with the Champlain Community Care Access Centre, says it’s vital for caregivers to carve out time for themselves wherever possible and stay connected with the outside world. “The winter months can be extremely isolating for caregivers - it’s so important to recognize signs of social isolation and know how to stay connected,” explained Desjardins-Nighbor. Main-
Manon Desjardins-Nighbor taining a social network can help ease feelings of loneliness and boredom.
Desjardins-Nighbor offers a number of tips for caregivers to cope with the winter months: • Reach out to friends and family regularly. Sharing your feelings and experiences can help others better understand your needs and how to help you. • Consider joining a support group – you might be surprised at how good it feels to connect with other caregivers.
• Make a deliberate plan. Invite a friend or neighbour for coffee. • Try to keep humour in your life to lift your spirits. Watch a comedy or read something uplifting. • Accept any help offered and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Many people want to help but don’t know how – and they assume you will ask for help when you need it. • Let go of guilt. Recognize that you are doing the best that you can. • Consider respite care.

Attitudes must change if abuse is to be eliminated And not much uproar from our elected officials on Judge Robin Camp’s comments during a rape trial in which he presided over and now faces career ruin. It is inconceivable that a Judge could have such views, and sit on the Federal Court of Canada. Much has been done - but not enough. Hesitation remains. Communities are reluctant to speak out and stand up against violence. We have recognized that one of the greatest hurdles to the eradication of domestic violence is the complex nature of the problem. Domestic violence is tightly woven into societal issues such as poverty, dependence, substance abuse, gender roles and institutional power, to name a few. Societal change alone is not enough to end woman abuse. Personal attitudes also need to change. Research overwhelming supports that we often blame the victim for her situation and carry an almost supercilious no-
The Fifth Estate produced a profound segment on the tragic events of Sept. 22, 2015, ‘Why Didn’t We Know?’. The pain shown was heartbreaking, and it is inconceivable to imagine the loss of a loved one through such means murder. It is my hope that a segment can be produced on ‘Breaking Free’. Many women have a story to tell. Society and communities are finally coming to terms with the realization that domestic violence is no longer a private matter. Since that horrific day, Sept. 22, 2015, there were an additional 43 women murdered by men at the end of December in Canada, 151 in total, and 45 of those women murdered were from Ontario. It’s been 34 years which in the House of Commons May 12, 1982, when MP Margaret Mitchell, raised the issue of woman abuse.

tion that “I would never get involved with an abusive person.” Statements like that resonate of judgment and victim-blaming. It’s not terribly helpful or useful. Women and children need to live safely beyond shelters, with self-worth, without fear. We need “leadership” of our elected officials to indeed start “rolling up their sleeves,” to attend events, to genuinely put social issues ahead of their own political agendas. Although the tragic events of Sept. 22 are fresh in our minds and family and friends still mourn for their loved ones, it would be disingenuous not to acknowledge the compassion, and kindness of many members in our communities who rise to the occasion, to help others, to give of themselves, to speak out, and ask ‘what can I help with’?

Ottawa Valley weather events over the years will be the topic when the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives Board holds its annual general meeting in Arnprior Saturday, Feb. 6. The board “cordially invites� everyone to the AGM at 1 p.m. in the Arnprior Public Library. Admission is free. This year’s guest speaker is historian and meteorologist Dr. John D. Reid. His topic will be ‘Blowin’ in the Wind: Ottawa Valley Weather, Events and People’.
Local newspaper headlines like “Heat Inspired Skinny Dippers� and “Valley Towns Snowed Under: Power Fails� reflect the extremes of weather experienced and their impacts. Official weather records, newspaper reports and archival records bear testimony to flood and drought, heat wave and cold snap, tornado and ice storm - remember January 1998? Our ancestors, aware of Canada’s reputation for cold and the description as “quelques arpents de neige� before they ar-
rived, were often shocked by the reality of extremes unknown in their homeland. The presentation by Reid, an Ottawa meteorologist and genealogist, explores the reality of the local climate through the year, what scientists know about its variation along the Valley, some of the memorable weather events and their impacts, and touch on some wellknown and a notorious local weather personalities. And what does climate change have in store for the Valley?
Originally from England, Reid arrived in Ottawa in 1966 and pursued a more than 30year career as weather forecaster, researcher, research manager and director of policy and international affairs with the Meteorological Service of Canada. Along the way he earned a doctorate in Atmospheric Science. Turning his attention to family and local history in retirement, he served as president of the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa, was a member of the Services Advisory Board for Library and

Laugh and learn at Macnamara quiz night Waiting on the Goshen groundhog ing way to learn about local natural history. Michael’s contagious enthusiasm, keen insight into the intricacies of nature and the countless anecdotes of his experiences as a naturalist always make for a very entertaining evening. Participants will be divided into teams that will compete to answer riddles and identify items from nature. No experience necessary. The Macnamara Field Naturalists Club quiz night will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the Arnprior Curling Club. Meetings (and presentations) are free for club members and $5 for guests. The quiz portion of the evening follows the regular agenda of sightings. Find more information on the club and its activities at mfnc.ca. P.S. The answer to the quiz question was a porcupine.

Will the Goshen groundhog see his shadow next Tuesday? Snowmobilers, ski hill owners, ice fishers and winter carnival organizers are hoping he does. For if he and White Lake Willie emerge from their burrows on Groundhog Day (Feb. 2) and see their shadows, it supposed to mean at least six more weeks of winter. And with it plenty of snow for skiing, snowmobiling and winter fun in general. If they don’t see their shadows (the long-range forecast is for a cloudy Feb. 2), then spring will come early. Which isn’t good news for winter carnivals and fun days in Douglas (Feb. 5-7), Dacre (Feb. 6) Braeside (Feb. 6). Northcote (Feb. 13), Calabogie (Feb. 13), Kinburn (Feb. 13, 15), Corkery (Feb. 15), Fitzroy (18-20), Admaston (Feb. 19-20), Horton (2627) and White Lake (Feb. 27). However, with winter starting so late, nobody will be surprised if winter weather lasts well into March and even infringes on April.

Michael Runtz collects dead birds - specimens for his lab at Carleton University. Early every February, a select few are escorted to the upper room of the curling club in Arnprior, where they are respectfully laid out on mid-sized tables, in the company of other examples of nature. They become the subject of much scrutiny and debate as small groups of people rotate around the room bent on identifying objects and deciphering clues to wild and wonderful riddles born from Michael’s knowledge and imagination. Here’s one from a previous quiz night: WHO AM I? I like the dark of night when it is hard to see I sure can cause great fright if you ever bump into me

Two local birds have made great comebacks Michael Runtz Nature’s Way even humans arose. ‘Silent Spring’, Rachel Carson’s landmark book, kick-started an environmental movement that eventually resulted in 1972 in the banning of the chemical. However, this was too late for many birds including Peregrine Falcons and Bald Eagles. In each level of the food web, DDT accumulated (bioaccumulation). Thus, top avian predators ended up with extremely high levels of toxins in their system, levels that resulted in thinning eggshells and ultimately reproductive failure. Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons became flagships for environmental groups. Both had their populations decimated by DDT, and both received protection under the Endangered Species Act.
MICHAEL RUNTZ
Bald Eagles, which take five years to reach full adult plumage, have become remarkably common in our area. Their nests were safeguarded and closely monitored, and, additionally, young birds were released into the wild to supplement the population. Both species have rebounded admirably, and are no longer listed as endangered. Now nesting at many locations along the Ottawa and Madawaska rivers, Bald Eagles have become a common sight in our area and many are seen in winter; 28 were recorded on a single Christmas bird count.
But other species affected by DDT received little attention. Merlins, small cousins of Peregrines, had also become rare by the 1960s. These small falcons never received official protection and neither were any efforts made to breed them in captivity or release their young into the wild. But eventually Merlins began to recover and today they are not only regularly seen in our area but also are found nesting right in our towns and cities.
Merlins, this one recently encountered in Prince Edward County, were seriously affected by DDT in the last century. Merlins, like Peregrines, primarily eat birds, primarily small songbirds that are plucked before they are devoured. Although a prey’s hard parts are usually not eaten, I once watched (and photographed) a Merlin swallow the legs and feet of a warbler. Merlins are one of the very few birds of

prey known to hunt cooperatively. Pairs have been observed capturing waxwings by having one Merlin fly up under a target and flushing it for the other to grab with its talons. Which to me makes Merlins very “talon-ted” birds indeed! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Since I was a young boy, there have been many changes in local birdlife. Loggerhead Shrikes were once fairly common (I found five nests on one walk) and now they are completely absent from our area. On the other hand, Turkey Vultures were rare here during my youth and now they are commonly sights, especially when dining on road-killed animals. The change in their numbers reflects a northward expansion in their range. There are two other species that now are common, but as a child I seldom saw encountered. Unlike vultures, however, these species did not experience a northward expansion in their range. They were rare when I was young because their populations had been decimated by DDT poisoning. DDT, the acronym for dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is an insecticide that was used in World War II to control malaria and typhus. In 1948, Paul Hermann Muller, the man who discovered its deadly effects on insects, was awarded a Nobel Prize. After the war, DDT was widely used in North America to control agricultural pests. But concerns over DDT’s effects on ecosystems and

Pakenham vet to head provincial body
Staff
Dr. Larry Caven of Pakenham has been named the new president of the College of Veterinarians of Ontario (CVO). He was appointed recently in the lead-up to the annual general meeting of the CVO, the province’s regulatory and licensing body for Ontario’s 4,400 veterinarians. Caven graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1979 and has worked in mixed animal practice. He operates Mississippi Veterinary Services with his wife Dr. Nancy Caven. The College’s AGM is set for Jan. 27 in Toronto with the main focus being the ongoing review of the college’s governing legislation. The theme of the meeting is ‘Boring or Invigorating: Straight Talk on the Future of Regulation and Veterinary Medicine in Ontario’. The review will include an analysis of current risks in practice and how they can and should be managed. “Public protection is of course at the centre of the debate,” stress the veterinarians. “We have an exciting year ahead as we
move through the final year of our current strategic plan and refresh our objectives for the future,” said Dr. Caven in a news release. “The College Council has the responsibility of upholding the privilege of self-regulation of the veterinary profession in Ontario. The public interest is at the core of all our efforts. “I look forward to working with council on an ambitious agenda in the coming year,” he said. “In 2016, among several initiatives, we will be establishing a new model for facility accreditation, setting new standards on prescribing and dispensing pharmaceuticals, sharing a new Peer Advisory Program and continuing progress in reforming the Veterinarians Act. “I am proud to be a member of the veterinary profession and I am committed to the College’s mandate to protect the public interest through the regulation of veterinary medicine in Ontario, Dr. Caven added. “The public and the profession expect the College’s initiatives to support professionalism, and quality and safety in the delivery of veterinary care.”

Medieval Feast to recognize historical significance of patron saint of Wales Celtic Heritage Society
Who was St. David? St. David is the patron saint of the Celtic nation of Wales, and as such the McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society has chosen to recognise his contribution to that Celtic Nation by holding a Medieval Feast on Feb. 27. Not too much is known about St. David except from a biography written around 1090 by Rhygyfarch, son of the Bishop of St. Davids. David was supposedly born on a cliff top near Capel Non (Non’s chapel) on the SouthWest Wales coast during a fierce storm. Both his parents were descended from Welsh royalty. The site of his birth is marked by the ruins of a tiny ancient chapel close to a holy well. In medieval times it was believed that St David was the nephew of King Arthur. Legend has it that the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick, foresaw the birth of David in approximately 520 AD. David grew up to be a priest, being educated at the monastery of Hen Fynyw under the tutorage of the then blind St. Paulinus. According to legend, David performed several miracles during his lifetime, including restoring Paulinus’ sight. It is also said that during a battle against the Saxons, David advised his soldiers to wear leeks in their hats so that they could easily be distinguished from their enemies. This is evidently the reason why the leek is one of the emblems of Wales! He became a missionary and travelled throughout Wales and Britain and made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem where he was consecrated bishop. He founded 12 monasteries and was named Archbishop of Wales at the Synod of Brevi (Llandewi Brefi) in 550.
Life was very strict in his monastaries with the brothers having to work very hard, cultivating the land and pulling the plough without draught animals. The monks had to feed themselves as well as provide food and lodging for travellers. They also looked after the poor. St David died on March 1, 589 A.D. at Minevia, allegedly over 100 years old. His last words are said to have been from a sermon he gave the Sunday before he died. “Bydwch lawen a chedwch ych ffyd a’ch cret, a gwnewch y petheu bychein a glywyssawch ac a welsawch gennyf i. A mynheu a gerdaf y fford yd aeth an tadeu idi,” which translates as “Be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed, and do the little things that you have seen me do and heard about. I will walk the path that our fathers have trod before us.” Today “Do ye the little things in life” (“Gwnewch y pethau bychain mewn bywyd”) is a very well known phrase in Welsh. His remains were buried in a shrine in the 6th century cathedral ransacked in the 11th century by Viking invaders, who plundered the site and murdered two Welsh bishops. His influence spread far and wide after his death. It first made its way through Britain and then by sea to Cornwall and Brittany. In 1120, Pope Callactus II canonised him as a Saint, after which he was declared Patron Saint of Wales. His influence was so profound that many pilgrimages were made to St. David’s. Fifty churches in South Wales alone bear his name. It is not certain how much of the history of St. David is fact and how much is mere speculation. However in 1996 bones were found in St. David’s Cathedral, which could be those of the saint himself. Perhaps these bones can tell us more about St David: priest, bishop and patron saint of Wales.

OPEN HOUSE GUIDE
Stats Canada health survey legit: Gallant Most of the respondents will come from the Pembroke area. “Hopefully, the information provided by this confidential survey will help in the delivery of health care in Renfrew County, as well as all of rural Ontario,” said Gallant. “While the survey is national in scope, I intend to take the findings of this survey to help advocate for the equitable delivery of health care in our region from the province.” TWO-PHASE SURVEY
The survey is being conducted in two phases: an interview at the household and a visit to a mobile clinic that has been set up at the Pembroke Regional Airport. At the household, a Statistics Canada interviewer asks general questions about health and lifestyle. At the mobile clinic, trained health specialists take direct physical measurements, such as height and weight, and conduct a series of tests to measure, among other things, resting blood pressure, and to assess vision and musculoskeletal health. In addition, they collect blood, urine, hair and saliva samples to evaluate cardiovascular health, nutritional status, chronic and infectious disease markers as well as exposure to environmental contaminants. To limit the inconveniences associated with the visit to the mobile clinic, Statistics Canada will provide $100 per participant for the reimbursement of certain expenses - bus or taxi fare, child care, gas or parking. If two participants have been chosen in a household, each participant will receive $100.
Tourism award nominations open The nominations are officially open for the 2016 Ottawa Valley Tourism Awards. The awards, introduced in 2014, are presented annually by the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA) to participating members.

Many Renfrew County residents don’t like government intrusion into their lives. But this is a government call you shouldn’t ignore. That’s the word from RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP Cheryl Gallant, who is asking local residents to “not hang up” if they receive a call from Statistics Canada asking for participation in a Canadian Health Measures Survey. “In response to constituents who have called my office asking if the call they have received asking for their participation in this survey is legitimate, yes it is,” said Gallant in a news release last week. “The call is legitimate and participation in the survey is voluntary.” However, this may be the last time citizens will have a choice on whether or not to participate in a federal government survey, she said. “One of the first acts of the change in federal government was to take away that right to choose.” The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS), a partnership between Statistics Canada, Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada, is intended to help address longstanding limitations in Canada’s health information system. The CHMS is providing decision-makers and researchers with more accurate and comprehensive information about the health of Canadians. Gallant explained that CHMS respondents are randomly selected, but they may choose not to participate. However, a high level of participation ensures the survey results will be complete, accurate, statistically reliable and representative of all Canadians, she pointed out.

If you don’t know your child’s designated school, call 613-735-0151,
ext. 2271. This year’s registration period for the 2016-17 school year began Monday and runs Monday to Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., to Feb. 5. When registering your child, you will need the following information: • proof of age (birth certificate, birth registration, baptismal); • immunization records; • Ontario
Health Card; • home address; • proof of Ontario residency (Ontario driver’s licence/utility bill). A new Kindergarten French Extended Program will be offered in Arnprior at Walter Zadow Public School. Kindergarten French Immersion will be offered at Central

Refugee fundraising reaches three-quarters of its monetary goal Staff
Project Arnprior Welcome (PAW), the committee organizing the efforts to bring a Syrian family to Arnprior, is approaching its fundraising goal. To date, the community has been extremely generous with private donations of $20,000. However, $27,000 is needed to sustain the family for one year. Financial donations can be dropped off at Emmanuel Anglican Church at 287 Harrington St. on Tuesdays and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. A receipt will be issued to those who make donations of more than $20. Letters have been sent to local businesses challenging them and their employees to participate in fundraising events within the companies. Schools have also been invited to join in our challenge to raise funds. PAW members hope the community will continue to show their support in meeting their goal. Although the committee has gathered enough furniture and household goods to get the family settled, a need for winter and summer clothing continues. Donations of clothing can be made by contacting Wayne Mossman at 613-623-9282. For more information, visit www.projectarnpriorwelcome.ca.

Packers earn win after two lopsided losses Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The losses were starting to pile up for the Arnprior Packers, but the team managed to stop the bleeding Sunday with a much-needed win over the Alexandria Glens. Following a rough 12-3 loss to the Ottawa West Golden Knights on Jan. 17, the Packers were in tough Jan. 20 against the Perth Blue Wings. Perth proved why it has been the top team in the Richardson Division all season. The Blue Wings stormed into the Nick Smith Centre and won the game rather easily by a 9-1 tally. Riley Poirier netted the lone goal for the Packers. The Packers fared slightly better in a battle last Friday against the Winchester Hawks, but still suffered a loss on home ice. Bailey Hein and Liam Poirier gave the Packers a 2-1 lead after the first period, but
EXPORER REALTY INC. Brokerage. Independently Owned and Operated
the Hawks outscored Arnprior 4-1 in the second period on the way to an 8-5 victory despite the heroics of Poirier. “We played a good game, but had too many defensive breakdowns, which led to odd man rushes,” said Packers head coach Barry Cape. “We just gave up too many opportunities. “Liam Poirier had a great game with four goals and an assist.” On Sunday, Arnprior finally got their win, but it was not an easy one in Alexandria against the Glens. The Packers managed to take another 2-1 first-period lead on goals by Dallas Farr and Dan Monk, but the second period was wild as 10 goals were scored. Alexandria dominated early parts of the period, taking 4-2, 5-3 and 6-4 leads. However, the Packers struck for three goals in the final three minutes o the period to retake the lead 7-6. The defenses took over in the third with
no more goals scored. Monk scored a hat trick in the second period to give him four for the game, and Dean Galasso and Tyler Ollson netted the others. “The second period was fast back-andforth hockey with both teams getting tons of chances,” said Cape. “Goalie Patrick Kealey was injured early in the second period on a play and Matthew Dods came in and both teams scored five goals in the second. We played a smart defensive third period to win the game 7-6.”
Arnprior has two important home games next weekend, with the Renfrew Timberwolves coming to the Nick Smith Centre Friday, Feb. 5 at 7:30 p.m. and the Westport Rideaus visiting Sunday, Feb. 7 at 2:30 p.m. The Packers (19-16) are tied for fourth in their division with the Athens Aeros, four points behind the Rideaus and seven ahead of the Wolves.
PAKENHAM GAME
Packers have three games this week. They had a match-up in the city with the Ottawa Canadians Tuesday (after press deadline), then face a challenge this evening (Jan. 28) as they play in Casselman against the league powerhouse Vikings. On Friday, the Packers try to avenge their one-sided loss to Ottawa West in a 7:30 p.m. start in Pakenham’s Stewart Community Centre arena in the annual Frost Fest game.

I have lost my soul’s companion, A life linked with my own And day by day I miss her more, As I walk through life alone. Stan
I watched you suffer I saw you die But all I could do was sit close by You went away, we had to part God eased your pain But broke my heart. They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time or reason Will change the way I feel For no one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles No one know how many times I have broken down and cried. I want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt You are so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without.

In a quiet country graveyard, Where the gentle breezes blow, Lies our Dad we loved so dearly Whom we lost four years ago. His resting place we visit, His memory is our keepsake, But no one knows the sorrow, As we turn and leave him there.
Those whom we love go out of sight, But never out of mind. They are cherished in the hearts, Of those they left behind. Loving and kind in all his ways, Upright and just in all his days. Silence and true in heart and mind, Beautiful memories he left behind.
Always in our hearts. Bev, Tammy & Lynn Barry & Carrie, Colby, Brady & Isla.
Lovingly remembered, Tammy, Lynn, Barry & Family. CLR 661096

IN MEMORIAM
KWIATKOWSKI, Walla – In loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother who passed into God’s care February 1st, 2001. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same, It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Father, in thy gracious keeping, Leave me now our loved one sleeping. Forever loved and missed, Lynn, Donna, Rick, Jim and families
Since You’ve Been Gone Since you’ve been gone, the years have passed, We miss you every day. Since you’ve been gone, the time has changed, Our lives in many ways. And looking back, we saw the way you kept Our family strong. But things just aren’t the same, since you’ve been gone. Since you’ve been gone, we’ve missed you so, The sorrow still inside. Since you’ve been gone, so many nights we’ve thought of you and cried. Although they said that time will heal, it’s time For moving on, Our hearts have not been whole, since you have gone. Love, Rose, Nancy, Perry, Jeff & Penny

The inaugural Minor Hockey Day in Arnprior attracted plenty of players and fans alike to the Nick Smith Centre last Saturday. Arnprior Minor Hockey Association (AMHA) president Dustin Dorken was pleased with the turnout for breakfast, and the on-ice games. “The turnout was outstanding and the cooks were kept busy dishing out lots of pancakes,” Dorken said. “The on-ice action that ran all day on both pads was well attended and hotly contested.” Among the off-ice activities was a “hardest shooters” competition with speed clock. Winners included Carter Muldoon for initiation program at 19 mph, Will Herrick for atom at 40 mph, Grant Zeibarth for peewee at 58 mph, Cohen Dunn at Bantam at 71 mph and Cory Cardiff for adult at 81 mph. The kids all won gift certificates. A big draw was the Alumni Sens game that night against minor hockey coaches. Dorken, who coached the home team, said there was a loud and boisterous crowd on hand, though a small one. “We were still happy,” Dorken said. “The game was closer than the score indicated with outstanding

Walter Zadow hosts children’s mental health discussion Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
Mental health has been brought to the forefront in recent years, especially with the Do It For Daron campaign and the Bell Let’s Talk annual initiative that has just been held Wednesday. Walter Zaldow Public School has being doing its part in promoting awareness of the issue. It hosted a mental health presentation on anxiety and depression in children and youth to a mostly full auditorium on Jan. 20. “The presentation went very well and the feedback has been quite positive,” said Walter Zadow vice-principal Stella Callighen. “The questions, from parents, ranged from resiliency to drug dependency. The presenters spoke to each question with helpful strategies, look-fors and such,” she added. Two officials from the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre’s Youth Program, Dr. Margaret DeCorte and Dianna Lanteigne, were among the speakers. Lanteigne is a psychology resident and Dr. DeCorte a clinical
psychologist who is also a clinical professor at the University of Ottawa. Also speaking were Dr. Laura Lynne Armstrong, an assistant professor at Saint Paul University as well as a clinical psychologist and a researcher and Dr. Gordana Eljdupovic, a clinical psychologist working with the Correctional Service of Canada who also has a part-time private practice. Members of the Parents’ Lifelines of Eastern Ontario (PLEO) and other area mental health providers set up information booths. The entire event was free because it was sponsored by PLEO with help from an Ontario Ministry of Education’s Parents Reaching Out grant. In Ontario, one in five youth aged 4 to 6 will experience a mental illness. Most will only confide in friends, explaining the low disclosure rates, the meeting was told. But there are ways for youth to build resilience skills and develop awareness. Being afraid of the dark or certain animals is considered normal behavior and eventually most children will grow out of it.
Being irritable or looking for independence are other typical signs. Youth tend to be over-sensitive but if the behavior last a long time that is a sign of deeper issues, as is sleeping too much or not enough. Suggestions for battling depression and anxiety include being mindfulness and relaxation exercises. One example used by was having a youth think of a pink elephant. When they are told to stop thinking about the elephant, they find it difficult. But if they shift their focus onto something else, they forget about the elephant or the very least it becomes background noise.
Dr. Margaret DeCorte shares ways to deal with mental health issues in a presentation at Walter Zadow school Jan. 20. SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND
ADHS students learn how to cope with exam stress At the last assembly of semester one, a dedicated team of Arnprior District High School students and staff organized a wholeschool assembly to teach students about exam stress and strategies they can use to lessen their anxiety. Students were introduced to the stereotypical view of exam stress through the use
of a humorous Mr. Bean video before they got the chance to text or tweet how they were feeling in preparation for semester one exams. Through the use of Poll Everywhere software, students could submit their answer to the question; “Describe how you are feeling right now,” and it would show up on the
screen in the form of a word cloud or Wordle. “It was really amazing to see the interactive student voice aspect of the activity in action.” said Oliver Jacob - one of the organizers and Minister of Character Development in the ADHS Student Council. “Students really got creative while staying on topic with the words or phrases that they
submitted,” he added. Presenters Jacob, Kirsten Trafford and Nic Edge provided nine different strategies for students to cope with the stress and anxiety that they feel around exam time, including mindfulness, meditation, listening to music, exercising, yoga, eating something healthy and the Mindshift app. See MINDSHIFT APP, page 32

Area teen launches Warrior Project to end mental health stigma Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
A Valley teen is challenging others to sign off social media for 24 hours to help end the stigma and increase understanding of mental health issues. The #warriorproject, developed by Brittany Crane, asks people to then post why they are a #warriorinlife once they’re back online. “I think anybody who shares anything so personal is brave. The people who have shared so far are brave – they’re warriors,” said the 17-year-old. Crane, who deals with anxiety and depression, said she wanted to develop an online campaign similar to the ALS ice bucket challenge that took social media by storm, raising the profile and awareness of the progressive neuromuscular disease. “I wasn’t really aware of ALS before; I saw how big that was, how people became more aware,” Crane said. “I thought why don’t we do something like that so people can become more aware
about mental health and the stigma around it? I don’t want the campaign to be just one thing, where it slowly goes away. I want it to keep coming so we can end the stigma.” Crane openly wrote about her personal experiences, detailing her struggles. Her post has been shared more than 180 times. “Throughout the years I have faced so many stigmas around mental health,” she wrote. “Some believe it is not an illness because they cannot see it like physical illnesses. Although you can’t see it, (that) doesn’t mean it’s not there. It’s time to end the stigma.” Her honesty seems to have touched a chord among many others. Search either of the hashtags on Facebook and numerous personal posts appear with others sharing their stories. “I think she was very brave to put it out there because you never know what can come out of it,” said her mother Joanne. “It’s been a little emotional reading all the comments, but it’s been great for her. That’s what I was hoping for.”
Her father Stephen said family and friends have begun opening up about their own experiences with mental health issues. “We’re proud of her. We’re happy she’s doing this,” he said. “Part of ending the stigma is people who weren’t talking about it before are now talking about it.” 1 IN 5 AFFECTED
Crane has struggled with anxiety since she was about five years old, she said, particularly when she would be dropped off at school. “I’d freak out, just wouldn’t happen; my stomach would be sore,” she said. “It got a little bit better, but once Grade 10 hit it just wasn’t good. The anxiety increased and the depression came on.” She was admitted into the Bridges program, a partnership between CHEO, Ottawa Public Health, the Royal Ottawa, and the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. Ted Charette, assistant director for mental health services at the Youth Services
ADHS teacher Peter Cudmore, with a ‘Good luck on exams!’ message behind him, closes the assembly segment on exam anxiety by explaining how b u t t e r s co t c h candies helped him deal with stress.
Bureau, said Crane’s detailing of her personal story is an inspiration to others who may be suffering in silence. “Peers really thrive off their peers’ acceptance. Being able to step up and say, ‘I’ve gotten help for mental health issues,’ it’s a huge step to pave the way for others,” he said. “Another youth saying ‘I got better, you can get better,’ it’s hugely powerful.” About one in five youth will struggle with mental health issues at some point through their teenage years, said Charette. The statistics also state that a large percentage of those youth will not get the help they need. “Mental health issues can become extremely pervasive. We know that if we can get the jump on it quickly we can change the trajectory,” he said. Those who don’t receive help or treatment during their teens are more likely to struggle with mental health issues through their adult years, said Charette. “We have to do better; we have to reach them better. We have to make sure they
know what the services are and what the supports are,” he said. “At the YSB we’ve tried really hard to make sure our services are accessible.” If someone is struggling, the first step is to reach out and ask for help, said Charette. Receiving support through CHEO and the Bridges program has helped Crane realize she isn’t the only one who struggles with anxiety and depression. She met others – many who have become her best friends – dealing with similar mental health issues through a group support. “I realized I wasn’t the only one going through the same stuff, they were going through the same stuff as well. It surprised me,” said Crane. This realization, that a stigma still exists around those who struggle with mental health issues, helped spur her to create the #warriorproject. Social media and being constantly connected can play a role in a person’s mental health, she said. Cyber bullying, unrealistic body expectations and other harmful messages can feel like a constant
barrage of negative information. “I find social media can be good for communicating for the right things, but I find it’s having so many negativities right now. We need to be careful about it, be more aware about it,” said Crane. Which is why she’s challenging people to sign off for 24 hours. “I know a lot of people are going to be like, ‘Oh that’s hard.’ But it’s a challenge,” said Crane. Before posting her message, she said she was worried that people at school would look at her differently or talk about her in a negative way. “That’s the thing I’ve really taken in … Nothing had changed except people messaging me. Everybody’s been really nice about it,” Crane said. “That’s what somebody should keep in mind; if they speak out people are still going to be nice, nothing’s going to change – besides the stigma.” For more information or to access support for mental health issues, visit ysb.ca and cheo.on.ca/en/cheomentalhealth.

Mindshift app can help students Continued from page 31
The Mindshift app provides a technological option for students to learn more about exam stress and its symptoms, meditation strategies, and tests to see how stressed they really are. The assembly finished off with an inspirational pitch from science teacher Peter Cudmore, who shared his experience with exam stress and how he got over it, through the use of butterscotch candies. He shared that as long as you have butterscotch candies for your exam, you will be fine. It is an exercise in projecting your stress
onto an object and convincing yourself that you will be successful if you always have the candies. Staff adviser and ADHS vice-principal Angie McGrath said that “the objective of our assembly was to help ease the stress of the student body and to reassure them there are ways to help lessen their anxiety and stress during exam time.” She said she believes that the assembly was successful in its goal to create a safe space so that it is “ok to talk about it (stress and anxiety) and to transfer the energy felt into working through the experience to meet your goal.”

The red bricks had many interesting stories to tell
Father said he had no recollection of how the red bricks came to us on the farm in Northcote. They were always there. And yes, they served just about the same purpose as they did since he was a little boy. He said they could probably have come from a building that was being built many years ago, such as the big red brick house beside Briscoe’s General Store, where the family lived for generations. “If there were bricks laying around, and not being used, you could have them, I guess,” he said. And no, he doubted any money changed hands. I accepted that explanation of how red bricks got to us when there wasn’t a building on our entire farm that wasn’t made of logs or boards. But they were certainly put to good use by our family. They were mostly used in the wintertime. Always a couple sat on the reservoir at the back of the stove, as Mother said “just in case.” The “just in case” meant we needed a quick warm-up for freezing feet on a bitterly cold day after being outside playing in the snow, or after our three and a half mile walk home from the Northcote School. And if there wasn’t something cooking in the oven of the Findlay Oval, it wasn’t unusual to see a couple bricks heating up inside. If we were still wearing our stock-

ings, there was no need to wrap the bricks in a heavy towel. We just put our stockinged feet right on the hot bricks and got immediate warmth. Of course, we never went anywhere in the cutter or on the sleigh without hot bricks wrapped many times in the Renfrew Mercury and placed under our galoshes-covered feet. Hot bricks warmed our beds at night. How I loved to crawl between the feather ticking that covered us, and the feathered mattress, and know that the bricks had warmed the bed first! There was one brick that never touched the floor. This one was scrubbed clean and sat on the bake table and was wrapped in cheesecloth. It was used to hold down anything we ate that needed to be “pressed” as Mother called it. And you better not touch it without washing your hands first, either. And then there were the bricks that served as doorstops. The ones in the shed and the back summer kitchen were minus their corners from being kicked into place over decades. But the two bricks that caught
my fancy the most were the one that sat at the back door in the kitchen, and the one at the door in the parlour. Both of them were door stops, but because they were the first thing a visitor saw when coming into our house, you would never, at first glance, know they were bricks. Long before Mother went to the farm in Northcote, someone had crocheted covers for these two bricks. They were made of bright red and green wool, no doubt left over
from knitting socks or mitts. As Mother said, the crocheted brick covers gave a bit of status (a word I had never heard of before) to two very ordinary necessities: door stops. Like so many other ordinary things put to good use on the farm, bricks coming to us from goodness knows where, served a purpose. And when they were put at my feet, I wondered how many toes had touched them before me, and
I would look at the covered brick at the back door, and marvel at the number of visitors who had passed beside it, and how often a foot had moved it out of the way to hold open a door on a farm that generations before me had called home.

Pakenham’s Frost Festival to honour Charles Gillan Friday Doris Rankin
Pakenham and District Civitan Club
This Friday evening in Pakenham (Jan. 29) Charles A.W. Gillan, former Pakenham reeve and community builder will be honoured as part of the annual Pakenham Frost Festival. Appreciation ceremonies will take place at 7:15 p.m., with O Canada to be sung by the Cedar Hill Zion United Church Children’s Choir. A Tier 2 Junior A hockey game follows immediately afterwards, featuring the Arnprior Packers against the Ottawa West Golden Knights. Gillan has a long history of entrepreneurship and community involvement. Charlie, as he is known, served as a private in the Canadian Infantry in the Second World War and sailed the north Atlantic as a U.S. maritime marine. He was a commercial photographer, a woodworker of repute, a real-estate agent in Edmonton, operated the Gillan Fur Farm
for 30 some years, and was owner and operator of Pakenham Yamaha, a motorcycle and snowmobile sales and service outlet. For his leisure activities, Gillan hunted, trapped, fished, played golf and was an active curler. In public life, he was honoured to serve Pakenham Township for 19 years as councillor and/or reeve and Lanark County as warden. As a long-time curler, Gillan was the vicepresident of the Pakenham Curling Club when it purchased an artificial ice plant. His plan had the male members finance 30 per cent of the capital cost plus the installation while the ladies paid off the balance by generating funds through bake sales, rummage sales, etc. When a closure of the Pakenham Public School was threatened by the provincial government, he and others fought back with their own plan to build and staff their own school. This was done and eventually the province bought the school from the local group.
The community is hoping the province has learned their lesson about messing with the Pakenham Public School these many decades later. When Lanark County decided to build a new home for the aged in the north part of the county, it was an opportunity for the area. As chairman of the Almonte General Hospital board, Gillan invited the county homes committee to view a plot of land adjacent to and owned by the hospital. The board offered to provide the land as a building site for the new home. This was accepted and Fairview Manor was built and thrives to this day in its second home now attached to the hospital. His support for the Almonte General Hospital meant several interventions at the provincial level continuously securing funding until more security was finally achieved for the hospital. As Pakenham sits between Almonte and Arnprior, use of the two hospitals is divided. That is likely how he ended up serving on the
board of the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital as well. Gillan’s contributions towards building the Sandpoint Golf Club, Pakenham Curling Club, Pakenham School, Fairview Manor and Almonte General Hospital has provided the community with rich resources that make it a wonderful place to live and raise families. His greatest joy is his marriage to the former Beth Blair and being blessed with their children Jennifer Plager, Jacqueline Gillan- Campbell, Jane McPhail and Jeffrey Gillan. The community is invited to join the Gillan family in celebrating his “enormous donation of time and energy” to Pakenham and surrounding areas at the celebration this Friday night. The upper hall of the Stewart Community Centre will be open for people to gather before and after the ceremony. After several events last weekend, the Pakenham Frost Festival has scheduled the following events for this weekend. See SLEW OF EVENTS, page 47
Warm start to Frost Fest at community breakfast The Pakenham Frost Fest started off with a warm reception of sorts, with the annual pancake breakfast in the upper hall of the Stewart Community Centre on Saturday, Jan. 23. The festival continues this weekend with events on Friday evening at the Stewart Community Centre, as well as Saturday at the Highlands Golf Course and Sunday at Fulton’s Sugar Bush. Drummer David Ranger is all smiles behind his drum kit as Danny Watters keeps a close eye on the keyboard keys. DESMOND DEVOY/METROLAND

A heart felt thank you to all of our customers and friends who voted for us. From Mike Mulder and staff at Arnprior Chrysler Ltd.
Diamond Award: Auto Body & Repairs
Gold Award: Car Dealership New & Used Sales
Honest, reliable service earns Gold at Arnprior Chrysler Arnprior Chrysler has the vehicles, staff and service to make buying your next new or used car, truck, jeep, SUV or van a breeze. For owner-general manager Mike Mulder, honesty is the only way. He and his staff go the extra mile to ensure all promises are kept, from the sales team to factory incentives and service. “Arnprior Chrysler is leaning on a legacy of trust where cars and promises are delivered. We totally stand behind what we say and what we sell,” says Mike with pride. The Arnprior Chrysler sales team does not work on commission. That means there is no ‘hard sell’. Instead, you get laid-back, personal and trusted service. The kind you can trust and rely on. “The sales staff will take all the time needed to ease you into your purchase. They will be happy to answer any questions and will help you to find the vehicle that fits your needs completely. Ultimately, they are looking out for our customers who always come first. “Our entire sales staff is qualified to assist you through the complete sales process. There is no need for them to check with the manager to complete a sale.” That commitment to quality sales and aftermarket service has garnered Arnprior Chrysler a Gold Readers’ Choice award in the Car Dealership category as well as a Diamond award for Auto Body and Repair for the second year in a row. “People prefer dealing with our non-
ARNPRIOR
commissioned sales team and they appreciate our fee loaner policy in the service department too. Those both help us to be number one with our customers. We appreciate their support. It’s an honour to serve them and to win the awards.” Mike and his team takes their role in the community to heart, and have since 1976. Family owned, Arnprior Chrysler is not part of a large, impersonal dealer group. Instead, their focus is the community they live in and work in. “We take pride in following up on what we promise, every time. We do that because we have to live with ourselves and we are part of the community. I wouldn’t be in the business if I couldn’t be honest with my customers,” admits Mike. That high level of integrity and community commitment keeps Arnprior Chrysler at the top of its industry and at the forefront of community service. They are well-known for supporting a wide range of community activities, from sports teams to the Arnprior and District NeighbourLink Fountain (NLF). When you bring your car in for service or repair, you can expect the same high level of personal attention and quality. “We have the only Chrysler collision center in the entire Ottawa Valley. Our parts and collision departments are well stocked and provide the highest level of service to almost any vehicle at competitive prices. Experience our award winning service center with thoroughly trained
Five Star technicians.” Should you need financing for your purchase, Arnprior Chrysler can help with a wide range of on-the-spot financing options and extended service packages to keep you on the road. And when it comes to the best vehicles on the road, people appreciate the Arnprior Chrysler lineup for its diversity, reliability and value. The Dodge RAM has been truck of the year consistently since its inception and is literally, the best in class on the market anywhere. For those looking for versatility and smooth ride, check out the all-new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Go topless in the summer and breeze through deep snow with 4x4 drive. “There is something for every driving style in our 2016 selection. Drop in and we’ll be happy to show you around. Get to know us and you’ll find we’re an honest, upfront, great group of guys.” To learn more about the full range of reliable, Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles available from Arnprior Chrysler at 205 Madawaska Blvd, check them out online at www.arnpriorchrysler. com or phone 613-623-4256. Better yet, drop in to speak with the staff. Arnprior Chrysler is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday, to 5 p.m. Friday and 4 p.m. Saturday. You will be warmly greeted and you will probably leave with a smile.

Liz Campbell puts her auctioneer skills to the test at the December meeting of the Lochwinnoch Women’s Institute.
Lochwinnoch WI holds annual auction
The Lochwinnoch branch of the South Renfrew District Women’s Institute held its annual Christmas auction at its last meeting of 2015. Thirty ladies met at the home of Deb McGregor, the Lochwinnoch branch president. Included were the district executive, members of the host branch and guests from the community. Each person introduced themselves and told how long she has belonged to the WI. The Institute Ode and repeating the Mary Stewart Collect constituted the meeting. A special program for the meeting was a
Christmas auction of homemade and donated goods. McGregor and Liz Campbell shared in the ‘auctioneer’ duties of the program. Many items of baking, sewing, preserves and crafts were sold when a good-natured bidding war took place. This resulted in a good sum being raised for the branch’s community work for the upcoming year. The ladies also enjoyed quite a few laughs in the process. Afterwards a social time was enjoyed with the Lochwinnoch WI members each providing a festive snack.
News from the Pakenham Library Some people think that because only four books are typically listed below, that it represents the sum total of new books added to our collection this week. Wrong! A plethora of material is added weekly, but because of space restrictions only a few get mentioned by name. This week, a few of the junior fiction is so appealing that they’ve stolen the spotlight. Challenge a little person in your life to grab a book and try one, or reminisce with one yourself. A few of the many new books hitting the shelves at the Pakenham Public Library this week include: Marooned in Manhattan by Sheila Agnew – Evie works in her uncle’s vet clinic and meets a slew of critters and their eccentric
owners – junior fiction; Connect the Stars by Marisa de los Santos and David Teague – Audrey and Aaron land at the same wilderness camp and need both their skills to survive – junior fiction; Max Helsing and the Thirteenth Curse by Curtis Jobling – Max ends up in an unusual predicament and must rely on the support of his friends to break the 13th curse – junior fiction; The Kingdom of Fantasy by Geronimo Stilton – The golden staircase appeared, and the adventure began – junior fiction. The Pakenham Branch Library hours are Tuesdays to Fridays 2 to 9 p.m. and Saturdays 1 to 5 p.m. Visit the library’s website at www.missmillslibrary.com or call 613-624-5306.
