Sports – John Leslie is on top of the world. On the heels of two bronze World Cup para-snowboard medals last weekend, the 21-year-old Arnprior District High School graduate capped off this weekend with another bronze, this time at home on Big White outside of Kelowna, B.C., and the official announcement that he’ll be part of Canada’s team at the Paralympics in Sochi, Russia in March. Add to that the fact he’s been featured in sponsor Petro Canada’s commercials, which have been aired during major recent events, including the Grammy awards and the

Golden Globes, and you’ve got one pretty ecstatic young man. “I am feeling super happy,” Leslie said Monday from his temporary home in B.C., where the athlete is training and preparing for the Paralympics. He has put his business studies at Algonquin College temporarily on hold. He spoke to the Chronicle-Guide between training and physiotherapy Jan. 27. “The bronze medal at home felt really, really good,” said Leslie, who is in his first year on the World Cup circuit and just last weekend won his first IPC World Cup medals, two bronze, at Copper Mountain, U.S. See HOMETOWN, Page 3

Arnprior residents will be invited to line the streets to welcome Clara into the community on the evening of June 30. She will be the special guest at a

community barbecue and celebration in Robert Simpson Park. Hughes, who was Canada’s Olympic flag-bearer in the Vancouver Olympics, will be seen off on the morning of July 1, appropriately with the annual Canada Day Bike Parade.

Three Canadian para-snowboarders were nominated to the team that will compete at the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games. Para-snowboard was ofďŹ cially added to the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games in May 2012 after years of effort on the part of Canada Snowboard and the snowboarding commu-

It’s really great to see the group progress.� Head coach for the team is Candice Drouin of Banff, Alta. Joining Leslie is Tyler Mosher of Whistler and Ian Lockey of Trail B.C. Another team member may be added following world cup competition in Spain. “Everyone at Canada Snowboard is really excited for the announcement of the athletes today and we’ve got a mix of older veterans who are bringing a wealth of experience to the team and a younger athlete as well, who brings great youthful enthusiasm,� said head coach Drouin at Sunday’s nomination. “We are really looking forward to going back to Sochi. We had a great test event there last season. “Our athletes are excited to showcase the sport and their skills to the world and it’s a great opportunity for para-athletes to build awareness so more people with a disability can learn about taking part in our sport.�

He can’t say enough about the messages of support he’s been receiving. “Thank you everyone. The amount of messages, emails and texts is crazy. My social media has been blowing up,â€? he said. “It means the world to me.â€? His message for supporters back home in Arnprior? “I just want everyone to know I’m still the local hometown guy.â€? Leslie appreciates the community support that has been ever-present in his life. “I love Arnprior,â€? he said. “A lot of people have your back. When I was sick and had cancer and wasn’t sure whether I was going to walk, they were there. I know they have my back, through good time and bad times.â€? Next up is ongoing training and then the last world cup competition in La Molina, Spain, before the Paralympics. “I’m feeling healthy and strong,â€? said Leslie. He attributes his success partly to being ďŹ rmly prepared for competition. “I think for sure it’s that we made all the right steps this year,â€? he said. “I left for Whistler earlier than usual.

News – Doug Smith is making another run for a spot on Arnprior council. Smith has announced that he was intending to file his nomination papers to run for a councillor position on Wednesday (Jan. 29), which was his 55th birthday. “I am ready to serve and I am offering my services as councillor to represent the people of Arnprior at the next council table,â€? he said in a prepared statement. In his first attempt, Smith ran for mayor in 2010 and finished fourth with 321 votes. He is running on a platform of bringing more development and commercial enterprises, including big box stores, to town. That’s the best way to reduce municipal taxes, he maintains. “Residents are demanding jobs, big box stores and reduced taxation in their own home town.â€? He has shown great interest in council activities since moving to town half a dozen years ago and most recently made a presentation to a council budget session, urging the giving of McNab-Braeside residents a break for at least this year on the out-of-town recreation surcharge to keep them coming to town and patronizing local businesses. Smith pointed out that his 20 years of military service to Canada (he’s a Gulf War veteran), his many years as a private business owner, and 36 years as a husband and father “to a great familyâ€? has taught him many things. Among them are that trust and credibility are earned through actions not words, he said. “And always wear something under my kilt ‌ shoes,â€? he quipped.

SUBMITTED

Doug Smith is singing a pro-box store, low-taxes song as he seeks a position on Arnprior council. “I might be a stubborn Aquarius Scotsman, but I fell in love with Arnprior,� he said. “I am not shy to fight for the much-needed jobs and big box stores. I led the yes campaign for the zoning change on our new highway and we won, despite the extended delays and studies demanded by the previous council. “I want to finish the job that I started. Knock on the doors of big business and manufacturers and let them know Arnprior is open for business.� Smith, the former owner of Citadel Crafts in the downtown, said more business means more jobs, less tax,

more services and conveniences locally. FIGHTING FOR CHANGE

“I hope that my actions in the past, fighting for change in Arnprior and in the future will speak louder than words.� The only other candidate to file to run for council as of Tuesday was incumbent councillor Dan Lynch. However, council members Walter Stack, Lynn Grinstead and Ted Strike have indicated they will be running again, while Mayor David Reid has indicated he will make up his mind in March.

Town budget to be approved earlier than first planned News – Arnprior council has decided that it will aim to pass this year’s town budget in a special meeting on Thursday, Feb. 13 instead of their regular meeting of Feb. 24 as earlier advertised. The change, which was to be approved at a special council meeting Tuesday afternoon (after press deadline), was recommended because several council members and key town staff members will be away Feb. 24 at the annual Rural Ontario Municipalities Association/Good Roads conference. Arnprior is sending a delegation to the conference in Toronto to support its stand on the new OPP funding model that it hopes will give

town taxpayers a break on policing costs starting next year. Council has scheduled special 5 p.m. public meetings at town hall on Feb. 11 and 12 to go over the budget. The meeting on Feb. 13, now to pass the operating and capital budgets, would also be held at 5 p.m. if approved. Council was also scheduled to discuss at the Jan. 28 meeting a proposed allocation of $25,000 to go toward a recruitment incentive in the effort to attract new doctors to town. The plan is to pre-approve the spending prior to the budget’s passing, with $20,000 coming from the operating budget and $5,000 from reserves or the 2013 surplus.

Tragic fire reminder fire prevention a shared responsibility: Okum News - The recent news depicting the tragic retirement home fire that occurred in L’Isle-Verte, Quebec has left many people asking how such a heart-wrenching event could happen, says Arnprior fire chief John Okum. There are so many questions needing so many answers, he noted. Thorough investigations and inquiries will likely be the focus for many agencies to help uncover the cause and find ways to help prevent future events, he said. “Could such a catastrophic fire occur in Ontario and more specifically, in our community? How can this substantial loss of life and property be prevented?� In a statement Tuesday, Okum said it is crucial to recognize the fact that fire can occur anywhere to anyone at any time. Lessening the risk and engaging in preventative measures is everyone’s responsibility, he stressed. “As a society, we must accept the fact that our community, like many communities includes buildings that are constructed of combustible construction materials and are subject to the effects of fire. Buildings are being built closer together, greater in size and in height. OCCUPANT LOADS

0130.R0012531571

“Many residential, care and treatment and assembly buildings accommodate considerable occupant loads, which may include people with varying physical and cognitive needs, affecting their ability to independently evacuate in a speedy and effective manner.� Okum pointed out that in Ontario all new buildings are required to be constructed in conformance with the Ontario Building Code, a provincial document designed to provide a minimal level of structural, fire and life safety. When constructing a building, owners are not limited to the requirements of the building code and can always exceed the minimum requirements at their discretion, he added. The Ontario Fire Code is a complementary document to the Ontario Building Code and

is a regulation to ensure owners maintain their building in a condition that provides minimal standards. The fire chief noted that Ontario is the first province to make automatic sprinklers mandatory in care homes for seniors, homes for people with disabilities and vulnerable Ontarians. Mandatory sprinklers are part of amendments to the Fire Code and Building Code that will improve fire safety in these occupancies. IMPROVEMENTS

Other improvements include: • self-closing doors; • enhanced fire inspections and staff training; • annual validation of fire safety plans by local fire services. Okum explained that the amendments are based on recommendations made by the Technical Advisory Committee led by the Office of the Fire Marshal, with public consultation. All licensed retirement homes and most private care facilities will have up to five years to install the mandatory sprinklers. Some care and treatment facilities, including public long-term care homes, will have an 11 year phase-in period to coincide with redevelopment plans scheduled to be completed by 2025. PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

Property and building owners are responsible for their buildings and the care of people occupying them, said Okum. Compliance with requirements as set out in the Ontario Building and Fire Codes are essential to ensure a minimal level of safety, he stressed. “The Arnprior Fire Department provides fire prevention services and can help provide professional advice with inquiries and concerns anyone may have with regard to fire and life safety in buildings. The province of Ontario has placed statutory responsibilities onto municipalities to enforce the building and fire codes.� Examples of measures that

building owners can take to mitigate the risk and effects from a fire: • ensure all building code and fire code requirements are met; • all fire protection systems are operating, tested and maintained; • fire safety plans are developed, submitted to the fire department for approval and implemented once approved; • occupants are made aware of and educated on all procedures and building systems; • regular fire drills are conducted; • adequate staff is provided and personnel are trained on their responsibilities in an emergency. Okum noted that building occupants also have responsibilities and contribute to the overall fire and life safety of the building. ENSURE SAFETY

Some examples that occupants can take to ensure safety for themselves and others: • know the building, all primary and alternate exits and the meeting location; • become familiar with the fire protective systems in the building and their function; • participate in fire drills and never ignore an active fire alarm signal; • follow all safety rules and regulations; • common corridors and stairwells are designed for safe exiting of all occupants and should be kept clear of storage and personal belongings; • report all fire and safety concerns to the building owner; • never disable or hinder the proper operation of a fire protective system in the building. Arnprior, like many municipalities provide volunteer fire protection services. Although these firefighters are volunteer, they have the same training and competency as career firefighters, said Okum, “Availability and response of a volunteer fire department differs from a career department and should be a consideration when reflecting on fire safety in a community. Through public education,

code compliance, and installation of fire protection systems, the impacts from fire can be mitigated to keep our community safer from the effects of fire.�

To reach the Arnprior fire department, call 613-6234231, ext. 250 for fire prevention, or write rdesarmia@ arnprior.ca or cnicholas@arnprior.ca.

Massage therapist faces charges Tip leads to child Arnprior OPP look into situation after complaint made pornography charge for Arnprior man News – An unlicensed massage therapist faces several charges of sexual assault after a complaint was made to Arnprior OPP recently. When the OPP investigated, other complainants came forward. Police say they believe there may be even more victims in the case and are urging them to contact the OPP. An Arnprior OPP officer who received the first complaint has been put in charge of the case. Police conducted an investigation after receiving a complaint of inappropriate touching as a result of a massage. The complainant contacted the OPP in Arnprior after a craniosacral therapy session with the unlicensed practitioner. During the investigation by the Renfrew OPP detachment, several

other victims reported similar experiences with the therapist. As a result a 61-year-old North Algona-Wilberforce Township man was arrested and charged with eight counts of sexual assault. He was released from custody at a bail hearing on a recognizance with conditions. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call OPP Constable Tamara Dube at the Arnprior detachment at 613-6233131. The OPP is encouraging members of the public to be very aware of their rights when seeking therapy for treatment. • Ask if the person is licensed and through whom. • Ask if there is a governing body or agency overseeing their practice. • Understand the elements that are

required for consent to treatment. • Understand the treatment proposed. • Consent must be informed and voluntary. • Consent must not be obtained through misrepresentation or fraud. • Question any proposed treatment that does not make logical sense. • Ensure appropriate disrobing and draping practices are used. • Do not tolerate any inappropriate comments or conversations that may be interpreted as seductive, sexually demeaning or abusive. • If at any time during your treatment you become uncomfortable, voice your concerns and request the session end should you so wish. For more information on your rights, consult with the Health Care Consent Act.

News – An Arnprior man is in custody after being charged with possessing child pornography. His arrest came after a tip from the public led to a raid on a home and a storage facility in town. The OPP reports that members of its Child Sexual Exploitation Unit and Renfrew OPP officers arrested the 56-year-old Arnprior man Tuesday, Jan. 14 following a child pornography investigation. Earlier that day, police executed search warrants at the home and storage facility. The say the raids came after they received information that an indi-

vidual was in possession of child pornography. COMPUTERS SEIZED

OPP report they seized two computers and related computer equipment that contained images of child sexual abuse. The Arnprior man was charged with one count of possession of child pornography.

Township has to spend on recreation; the question is, how much: mayor

BIA to vote Feb. 10 Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

McNab-Braeside ‘obligated’ to provide opportunities for residents John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

News – In face of questions by ratepayers about the future of recreation in McNab-Braeside now that agreements with Arnprior and Renfrew have ended, township mayor Mary Campbell has again stressed that “nothing is not an option.” In her mayor’s report delivered at the Jan. 7 council meeting, Campbell said the township has several options regarding spending on recreation, but it has to provide some sort of service. Comments and questions by the Residents for Reading and Recreation, who submitted a petition appealing to the township to rethink the elimination of agreements, cannot be ignored, she said. Other residents are also speaking out about recreation. For example, Rhoddys Bay Association president Gary Scholl has written an open letter (see Page 8) asking how the township will be able to afford providing its own rink services. Campbell said all councillors are “grappling” with how to interpret the results of the residents’ petition and the township’s won survey, as well as the township’s obligations under the Municipal Act and the province’s Healthy Communities directive. She said it would appear the residents survey indicates a significant number of ratepayers, over 50 per cent, support boosting municipal taxes by six or seven per cent to continue funding the recreation agreements. That rise, along with other budgetary pressures that the township will be unable to avoid, could lead to dou-

ble-digit increases, she warned. “While I remain concerned about the impact on McNab-Braeside households, I recognize that although I might not be willing to lead McNab-Braeside into double-digit tax increases, residents might well be willing to lead me.” Just as 2015 is likely to be the year of the ‘police service charges swelling the municipal budget, 2014 could be the year for increased recreation spending, she said. The question is: “So how much should council plan to spend?” While a library card remains affordable for almost all residents, recreation programming in other municipalities is not financially possible for all taxpayers, she said Campbell noted that one option is to help residents pay for their recreation costs, along the lines of helping the township’s library users. Based on last year’s budget, that would mean an outlay of about $54 a resident. People would receive a rebate on the presentation of receipts for accepted recreation programs. SPECIFIC REBATES

Another option is limit the rebates to youth and seniors, as suggested earlier by Coun. Aldene Styles. That would boost the average allotment to about $145. A third option would be to use the Renfrew non-resident charge of $140 per person. That would leave an estimated $14,000 for township-generated recreation programs. The township could also use the full $410,000 to fund specific recre-

ation programs council feels are important and worthy. Campbell gave as an example, EXCEL, a pool therapy program designed to improve mobility in arthritis sufferers. A township subsidy could make it affordable for everyone who wants to take it, she said. She also suggested McNab-Braeside could partner with minor hockey in sponsoring an entry level program. In her report, Campbell suggested council adopt a policy that ensures residents of some immediate financial support for recreation initiatives, The seniors-youth option is worth considering, she said. In the interest of developing a model pilot, staff should be directed to investigate and report with business cases including level of township participation, on specific programs including Excel, minor hockey for Council review and consideration during 2014 budget deliberations, she added. She recommend that additional recreation programming funds be reserved to give the recreation committee time for consideration and implementation throughout this year. She stressed that plans and decisions regarding McNab-Braeside recreation programming had to adhere to the Healthy Communities directive and the Canada Sport4Life framework. “Given McNab-Braeside’s conscious alignment with both provincial and federal directives, that staff be directed to investigate grant programs that assist in funding both existing and future initiatives,” she concluded.

News – There’ll be another kick at the can for Arnprior’s Business Improvement Association. After inclement weather likely affected attendance at a Jan. 6 meeting at which members were to vote on the future of the downtown business association, there will be another chance to keep the organization alive, and fewer votes will be needed. Council agreed with Mayor David

Reid Jan. 13 that it may be unreasonable to achieve the 50 members required to vote in favour of keeping the BIA alive. Multiple properties or businesses being owned by the same individual or company is a factor in numbers of votes, he said. Council voted Jan. 27 to lower the number of votes required to 25. Members are encouraged to attend a meeting Monday, Feb. 10 at 8 a.m. at the Arnprior Public Library to vote on the future of the BIA.

Town seeks award nominations News – Know anyone in Arnprior who deserves to be recognized for the community involvement? The Town of Arnprior is seeking public nominations of community members for three awards: Senior of the Year, Volunteer of the Year and Town Award. Nominees should be volunteers with a record of outstanding community involvement. If you know a “wonderful citizen” who shares his/her time and talent to make Arnprior a great place, the town wants to hear about it. Nomination forms are available at Arnprior Town Hall or on the town’s website at www.arnprior.ca. The deadline for nominations is Friday, Feb. 14.

The Olympic gold medalist in cycling and speed skating will begin her 110-day ‘Big Ride’ on March 14. She will cover 12,000 kilometres through every province and territory, connecting Canadians to the cause of mental health at the grassroots level. “I can’t wait to ride to communities in every corner of the country, meeting Canadians where they live and talking to them about how together we can make a real and positive difference in the nation’s mental health,” said Hughes. “Mental illness directly impacts one in five Canadians and affects all of us in some way. I’m looking forward to sharing stories with people in these communities and so many more as we fight the stigma around mental illness and drive awareness and action in mental health.” To see the official route map, visit Bell.ca/clarasbigride/ map.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Scenic drive up the rail corridor It seems far-fetched, but using the abandoned Canadian Pacific rail bed as a way to save road costs in the Upper Ottawa Valley should at least be discussed. The clearing for the next stage of Highway 417 past Arnprior has begun in earnest, moving past Scheel Drive in the past week. It’s a welcome sight, because for a time it appeared the four-laning of Highway 17 to Renfrew wouldn’t become a reality for many years. However, it’s apparent the next phase of the four-lane highway will soon be completed deep into the centre of McNab-Braeside, making that township’s dreams of a village hub near the Calabogie Road turn-off much more likely. However, once the four-laning reaches Renfrew, it’s likely the project will slow down dramatically, despite appeals from the County of Renfrew that it’s crucial for economic development up the Valley. The crossing of the Bonnechere River won’t come cheaply and there is still the thorny question of which side of Jeffrey’s and Muskrat Lake the highway should go. The Ministry of Transportation won’t be relishing get involved in that controversy. With this in mind, perhaps the contention of a Rodney Gutzman of the Deep River area isn’t so outlandish. Gutzman has been sending letters to newspapers and area politicians urging them to consider using the abandoned rail bed as a road instead of lobbying for the four-laning of

Highway 17 north of Renfrew. He maintains using the railway corridor as a route for cars would be, in most areas, cheaper, easier, safer and quicker than building another two lanes alongside the existing highway. The rail line route was chosen because it was the fastest way to go up the Valley, he noted. “It will be a scenic, separated joy to drive and with no oncoming traffic.� Not only would turning the rail right-ofway into a road save the taxpayers money, it could be completed past Pembroke in two years, he maintains. Although it’s more likely the rail-line will be turned into a recreation trail rather than a highway, the road idea should at least be raised in deliberations. The corridor was built to move people up and down the Valley. The best case scenario would have been for the rail lines to stay put so they could be used for commuter, tourist and business use when the rising price of gas starts seriously eroding the affordability of truck and car transportation. But it’s too late for that now. So maybe we shouldn’t be making any rash decisions about what to do with the corridor and instead begin serious discussions about its future taking all options into consideration. After all, with all the straight stretches and without all the hills, it might make an ideal future route for motorists when the majority are driving electric cars.

LETTERS

Don’t make people travel out-of-town When is township to shop; not too late for retail changes getting its new rink? To the Editor: A follow-up to an article in this week’s paper (letter, ChronicleGuide, Jan. 23) concerning WalMart. I, for one, believe it is not too late to make changes in retail business in Arnprior. Having worked in retail for large food stores for several years, and my wife still working in retail, we know

the value of easy access and convenience shopping. We are among the Arnprior citizens who have to travel distance to get what we need. Actions and delays resulting in the loss of Smart Centre’s offer to come to Arnprior was shortsighted on the part of the previous council. They did not take into account the large number of jobs it would have created, the tax revenue for the town

and the convenience for the citizens of Arnprior. With the amount of new homebuilding in Arnprior, I believe the one sure way to guarantee quick development and occupancy is to bring in new retail opportunities so people don’t have to travel outside of town. R. Delorme Arnprior

Is feeding birds good or bad? Lifestyle - Each winter I receive questions concerning birdfeeders and feeding birds. Some ask: “What seeds are best to feed?” Other questions are of a different nature, such as: “Does feeding in winter make some birds stay that would otherwise migrate south?” Or: “If I stop feeding birds, will they starve?” As I write this column, it is cold and sunny and there is a lot of activity at my birdfeeders. My ‘suet’ (bricks of peanut butter, lard, oats and corn meal, with sunflower seeds, cracked corn, with imbedded and raisins) has Downy, Hairy, and Red-bellied woodpeckers competing with Black-capped Chickadees and White-breasted Nuthatches. The feeders holding sunflower seeds (some have striped, others have black sunflower) are being visited by Blue Jays and more chickadees, while the cracked corn and white millet scattered on the ground and little tables are being devoured by hordes of Dark-eyed Juncos, Mourning Doves, and American Tree Sparrows. A single White-crowned Sparrow, three White-throated Sparrows and a pair of Northern Cardinals are making brief appearances. My nyger feeders, even though they are filled to the brim, remain largely ignored; only a couple of the many American Goldfinches here earlier this winter are still present. I have found that the mixture of foods described above provides the best results because different species have different food preferences. Of all seeds, black (oil) sunflower seems to be the most universally eaten. But what are the effects of feeding birds? I think my nyger feeders tell the story. Last year, I couldn’t keep them filled because redpolls

GIRONES LAWYERS

INJURY LAW

were cleaning them out daily. A few years ago, goldfinches along with redpolls did the same. Even though those feeders have been kept filled since fall, they didn’t stop goldfinches from migrating, nor did they entice redpolls to come down from the north. For the most part, birdfeeders attract resident birds that have natural sources of food, or birds visiting here because of a lack of food up north. For most birds, our offerings are not their sole source of food but simply a supplemental source. But there is one type of feeding can be detrimental. It has become popular for photographers to buy mice from pet stores and throw them out on the snow to entice owls to fly in close for photographs. They argue this is the same as feeding birds in backyards. But actually it is quite different. Birds of prey are usually

no obligation consultations

wary of people. Baiting removes that fear and often draws owls close to roads. Occasionally, some fly across roads and are killed by cars. Additionally, pet mice might contain substances (i.e., antibiotics) possibly harmful to birds. And sometimes the ‘nature paparazzi’ harass owls day after day, making them burn up valuable energy reserves in order to acquire trophy pictures. Plus there is the ethical question of sacrificing live animals to attain pictures. Watching birds at backyard feeders is non-intrusive and provides many people immeasurable pleasure. It might even help a few birds survive winter. However, baiting birds of prey for photographic reasons is intrusive, unethical, and nothing short of exploitation.

Cold weather warning issued News – How cold has it been? Cold enough for the Renfrew County and District Health Unit to issue a cold weather health warning for the ďŹ rst time in memory. What has made the cold snap unusual is its length. With the several days of lows near -30°C and colder with the wind chill last week and now this Tuesday and Wednesday, it is being called the longest bout of cold weather to hit this area for three decades. “Very cold weather increases the risk of hypothermia and frostbite, which can cause serious injury,â€? warned Renfrew County Medical OfďŹ cer of Health, Dr. Maureen Carew in a news alert. She encourages everyone to be careful, especially those who are more likely to be af-

fected by cold weather. Older people, infants and young children, people with chronic illnesses, disabilities or circulation problems need to be extra careful. Also outdoor workers, people taking part in outdoor sports and those without proper housing or transportation are at risk because of their increased exposure to the cold. During cold weather, people should take the following precautions, says the health unit: • wear layers of warm dry clothing including a hat, mitts, and a layer to block the wind; • drink warm non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages; • 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 and hypothermia; • be aware of the dangers of using an oven or space heater as a heating device. With the very cold temperatures, the Health Unit is encouraging residents to check on neighbours and friends who are isolated, disabled, living alone or at risk of coldrelated injury. Let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return and to be aware that space heaters can pose a risk when not used correctly. For more information, call the health unit at 1-800-2671097, ext. 545, or visit Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and Environment Canada websites.

Will our Willie see his shadow? News – With frigid temperatures continuing this week, it would be hard to believe that the end of winter is around the corner. However, that could be the signal Sunday, Feb. 2 if the Goshen Goundhog or White Lake Willie are brave enough to come out of their burrows and not see their shadows. According to legend, if it is cloudy when they emerge from their burrows on Groundhog

Day, then spring will come early. If it is sunny, the groundhogs will see their shadows and retreat back into their burrows. That is supposed to mean the winter weather will continue for six more weeks, which will make the organizers of the Braeside (Feb. 8), White Lake (Feb. 22) and Fitzroy winter carnivals (Feb. 27-March 2) happy, along with those looking after ice ďŹ shing derbies and snowmobile poker runs.

News – The Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) mentioned Arnprior hospital as one of its examples when it made a presentation last week urging the provincial government not to close or downsize rural hospitals. Meanwhile, local members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) have started an online petition as part of their campaign to get six beds at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital back in use. The presentation Jan. 22 by OCHU president Michael Hurley maintained that “broad health policy shifts” are resulting in the moving of hospital surgeries and procedures from smaller community hospitals to city facilities, including private clinics. That will compound the service cuts made in the last few years and “severely impact the viability” of smaller hospitals in

“de-staffed,” claims CUPE Local 2198, which started its campaign several months ago when Hurley visited Arnprior to throw his support behind the effort. In the last several months there have been “countless people” in overload beds in the busy ER department because hospital administration refuses to hire enough staff to open up the six beds, claims the union As a result, patients are being shipped out of town to other hospitals while jobs important to the economy of Arnprior and area go unfilled, it adds. “Administration are still keeping these beds closed when ONLINE PETITION they openly committed to the community that they would be Meanwhile, the online peti- opened if and when required,” tion urging Arnprior Regional says the preamble urging supHealth CEO Eric Hanna and its port for the petition. board of directors to “reopen “We need to protect everyour hospital beds” has attracted thing we have here at home, and 225 supporters with organizers we need to do this vigorously.” hoping to reach 300.

eastern Ontario, including those in Arnprior, Perth and Smiths Falls, he said. Hurley was speaking to the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs at the Ontario budget consultation sessions in North Bay. He said the threat to rural hospitals is real, noting a recent reorganization will result in the closing of five small hospital in the Niagara region. “The movement of surgeries and procedures to private clinics will be much more costly and result in higher death rates,” he argued. “It will lead to smaller community hospital closures and open the door to corporate delivery of these procedures.” Hurley maintained that Ontario health policy also “exploits personal support workers (PSWs) as sweatshop labour in an under-resourced home care system, leading to a 60 per cent annual turnover in caregivers and is unsustainable.” R0012525763

He urged the government to cancel regulations that move core hospital work to private surgery and procedure clinics, “which will destabilize many local hospitals and increase health risks for patients.” Studies clearly show that private delivery of health care is more expensive, says Hurley, while, “ironically, providing inferior care and higher death rates. Ontario must reconsider its ideological bias towards private sector delivery. Superior patient care outcomes are provided, much more affordably, through public delivery.”

Congratulations to the participating organizations and individuals for their hard work and successful collaboration.” “Everybody can win if we plan together to improve the lives of our most complex patients,” said Dr. Barry Bruce, lead physician for the Carp Family Health Team and member of the Health Link Advisory Committee. “I’m looking forward to working out the specifics with our new partners.” “A key success factor in this initiative will be the inclusion of patients and their families in the design of new delivery models,” added Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre executive director Cathy Jordan. “This new patient experience will drive change.” “As the health care system focuses upon improving the patient experience while reducing the cost of providing quality care, a focus upon a small group of patients such as the high use group of patients will enable a more focused improvement strategy,” explained Queensway Carleton Hospital CEO Tom Schonberg.

lation and more than 72 per cent of health care costs, it is expected that better care coordination will result in a stronger, more efficient system, and less costs consumed by the system to manage their conditions. The West Ottawa and Arnprior Health Link will help to: • improve access to family care for patients with multiple, complex conditions; • reduce avoidable emergency room visits; • reduce unnecessary re-admission to hospitals shortly after discharge; • reduce time for referral from primary care doctor to specialist; • improve the patient’s experience during their journey through the health care system. The Champlain LHIN has played an important role in the program by bringing partners together, facilitating the formation of each Health Link, and monitoring their progress. “The Health Links model aligns perfectly with the strategies of the Champlain LHIN to build a strong foundation of primary, home and community care, and to improve transitions in care for patients and clients,” said Champlain LHIN CEO Chan-

such as Queensway Carleton. The next phase of the Health Link will be the development of a business case to enhance the quality of care for the most complex patients in the area. Working with the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), the Arnprior and West Ottawa Health Link task force hopes to have a submission completed before March 31. “Joint leadership by both Arnprior Regional Health and the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre will ensure that the full continuum of care is addressed along with ensuring the perspectives of both rural and urban settings are considered in new models,” said Arnprior Regional Health CEO Eric Hanna. The news release explains that community Health Links are part of the government’s Action Plan for Health Care and are a new initiative designed to improve care co-ordination between local care providers. Through the health link, providers work together to design care plans for their most complex patients to ensure they are receiving “the right care, in the right place at the right time.” In an area where complex needs patients account for 10 per cent of the patient popu-

Low visibility, crashes close lanes Thief steals cash News – Blowing snow and a quick freeze cause several traffic collisions Monday, but fortunately there were no major injuries reported. The OPP closed the eastbound lanes of the 417 in the area of the County Road 29 interchange for about two hours mid-way Monday after a couple of collisions and snow squalls that dropped the visibility to near zero. Highway 17 was also temporarily closed in the Pembroke area because of low visibility. Police say it was fortunate the worst of the storm happened after buses had arrived at schools in the morning. While the wind died down later Monday, the plummeting temperatures prompted fears of freezing on local roadways. It had been a dangerous few days across the province for motorists. From late Friday to Sunday, the OPP reported that officers had responded to more than 1,600 crashes across Ontario, leaving three people dead and numerous motorists injured. During the course of the investigations, eight OPP cruisers were struck by passing motorists resulting in minor injuries to two police officers. OPP officers ordered more than 60 road and highway closures across the province and assisted over 400 stranded motorists seek shelter from the storm. With more difficult winter weath-

Artist uses natural inspiration to bring outdoors inside David Johnston

Lifestyle - When Susan Lamendeau puts brush to canvas, she is channelling to her inherent love of nature. The Stewartville resident has been drawing and painting off and on her entire life, but in recent years has come into her own unique style. As a child growing up in the Matawa area, Lamendeau liked to draw and sketch. While attending a one-room school as a youngster, she drew a picture from one the teacher was using to instruct the older students. “My teacher was blown away that I could draw so well at such a young age. I guess it was something that just came naturally to me. I always thought that I should be able to draw what I see.” As a teenager, she spent hours creating likenesses of her favourite rock stars and other figures to her interest. Those youthful pastimes gave way to raising a family and Lamendeau put her art aside. Then one day, soon after moving to Stewartville 11 years ago, she found the time and a reason to create art again. “I started a perennial garden and took pictures of the plants as they bloomed,” she recalls. “I decided to bring the beautiful colours indoors and that started me painting. God’s creations are pretty exciting subjects.” Though her natural talents immediately aided her in creating art, Lamendeau decided to study techniques so that she could better express herself and reflect the images she wanted to display. She took lessons from her sister-in-law, not-

DAVID JOHNSTON

Artist Susan Lamendeau of Stewartville creates images of what she sees in nature. She works mostly in oils. ed area artist Margaret Lamendeau, and appreciated the guidance and support she received. “Margaret is more than an inspiration to me,” says Susan. “She has helped me so much by sharing her ideas and talent.” Some of Susan’s early work was done in acrylics, a medium she has since passed on in favour of oil paints. “Acrylic is great because it is fast,” she says.

“You can literally start and finish a painting in a day. The paint dries fast. I like the colours of oils and how you can use them better now.” She says acrylic paints are not as costly as oil, but tend to be consumed in greater quantities which ultimately can cost more than using oil. “Oil is more expensive and time consuming, but the oil paint can go farther and can be used

in more ways than acrylic.” Susan estimates she has created more than 50 paintings in the last decade, many of which adorn the walls of her home. The larger-than-life canvases are alive with the bright colours of nature, flowers, animals and birds. To create paintings with the right dimension and perspective, Susan sometimes creates a grid or works from a sketch. “Nature is my inspiration. I love to put colour on canvas. I have learned a lot over the years, and I believe the technical training has helped me to improve my art. Sometimes I still am amazed at what I create. One minute it just looks like ‘yuk’, and then it comes together as a painting. It is a natural gift.” Lately she has started to paint portraits of her grandchildren. “I have always been good a drawing people,” she admits. “I started with one grandchild and now it looks like I will continue to paint the rest.” Susan’s siblings and children have also demonstrated artistic talents, though they have branched out in other directions. “I guess you could say art is in our genes. We are all creating in one way or another.” Susan says she might dabble with pottery and stained glass as well. “It all intrigues me. I find art to be relaxing and fulfilling. I truly enjoy it.” Susan admits that painting is a time-consuming and somewhat costly hobby, but it’s all worth it in the end. “I can’t think of a better way to spend my time.”

ADHS peer tutors honoured for work with adapted phys-ed class News – Arnprior District High School students working as peer tutors in Adaptive Physical Education teacher Sarah Spratt’s program were honoured for their dedication and hard work in a ceremony Jan. 23. Nine Grade 11 Leadership students were presented with certificates in recognition during the ceremony attended by former vice-principal and current Renfrew County District School Board superintendent Dennis Jenkins, ADHS principal Neil Farmer, school board principal of special services Jodie Barrett and Spratt. Receiving certificates of recognition were ADHS students Riley McEwan, Carter Wilson, Sam D’Amours, Raegan Taylor, Coleman Orenstein, Curtis Foster, Sara Lepine, Amanda Desarmia and Lydia Bastien (who was absent from the ceremony). “Their compassion, growth, dedication, empathy and ambitious devotion to our students with special needs have made it bittersweet to say

The peer tutors had many different roles assisting Spratt in her adaptive phys-ed class for students with special needs. “A day hardly went by where all nine leaders were not in attendance, which is a true testament to their

commitment and their passion for this course,” Spratt said. “Some students have extended their commitment responsibilities to the next step and either volunteer to coach Special Olympics teams or have provided support to families for

respite care. “These Leadership students went above and beyond the course expectations, made lasting relationships and are the inspiration for creating acceptance among an inclusive course.” R0012531746

News - It’s estimated more than 300 people lined up inside the Horton Community Centre to meet with Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant and MPP John Yakabuski at their 2014 New Year’s levee Sunday afternoon. Among those in attendance was Arnprior councillor Dan Lynch, who was one of several citizens surprised to receive a MP commendation plaque from Gallant. Lynch said he was “somewhat dumbfounded to say the least” to be the only Arnprior resident to receive the honour this year. Gallant told the crowd that the riding is fortunate to have an amazing array of companies provide jobs in the Valley. She pointed out that Chalk River Laboratories (Atomic Energy of Canada Limited) is the second top job provider and one of the Valley’s top corporate citizens. “I mention this because 2014 is going to be a year when major decisions are going to be made regarding that company,” Gallant explained. “In the coming months, I’m going to be asking everyone in the community to pull together to ensure that the rest of the country knows and understands how vital AECL is to Canadians, Canadians who are afflicted by heart disease, Canadians battling cancer, support to our national security, the technologies they develop, support for our clean, affordable, sustainable energy, and most of all, how important they are to our friends, our neighbours, the human capital we have in the riding. “Those people, with their earnings, they go on to support the rest of the economy,” she

stressed. “By working together as one, we can beat and surpass any challenge that is in front of us,” Gallant said. Yakabuski said politicians sometimes ask themselves, “Oh God, why do I do this?” On the days they get out and meet the people, the real people, then they say ‘Oh, I know exactly why I do this,’ ” he said. Yakabuski said two comments came up the most as people passed through the receiving line – When is the next election? and What the hell can we do about that hydro (rates)?” Said Yakabuski: “Let’s get to that damned election, and then maybe we can do something about that damned Hydro.” A lot of jobs are threatened because of the cost of electricity in the Province of Ontario,” the MPP added. “That’s something that has to be addressed. Unfortunately, the current government just wants to continue walking down that road, building more windmills. In fact, we have about 3,000 megawatts from wind today. They went to make it 10. So, triple what you got out there today and think of what that is going to do to your hydro bills. That’s why Ontario needs an election, needs a new direction.” Yakabuski isn’t planning to stand on the sidelines. “Folks, I don’t know if you know or not, but I am running in the next election,” he said. Yakabuski said he is proud to represent the riding and its constituents. “There is not a better place in the world to serve the people than right here in Renfrew-Nipssing-Pembroke,” he said.

Arnprior firm receives development funding to hire intern Fire base News - Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant saw first-hand how economic funding is being spent during a visit to an Arnprior industry. Gallant met Hypernetics CEO Dave Watson and intern Matt Kaeding at the Plaintree industrial complex to learn how the $15,000 of funding awarded through the federal government’s Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP) is benefiting the local economy. The grant was directed towards creating an internship position. “It was encouraging to meet David Watson and his intern, Matt Kaeding, at Hypernetics,” said Gallant, in a news release Dec. 17. “In seeing the work Matt has been involved in, I can

say that the EODP funding has been well invested at Hypernetics. I would like to thank the board members of the Renfrew County Community Futures Program for their support of Renfrew County businesses.” Hypernetics, a division of Plaintree Systems, designs, manufactures and distributes aerospace parts for commercial and military applications.

closure decision frustrates MPP News – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has expressed his frustration after receiving confirmation from the Minister of Natural Resources, David Orazietti that his Ministry will be going ahead with closure of fire bases in Kirkland Lake and Pembroke. Yakabuski has repeatedly urged the Minister to delay the closures since they were announced in early November of last year as part of the Liberal government’s “three-year transformation plan” of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). Yakabuski has raised local concerns regarding service levels and response times and called on Orazietti to postpone plans to close the fire bases until a full analysis of the impacts could be conducted. “I made it absolutely clear to the Minister that the communities affected by these closures have raised legitimate concerns that need to be addressed.” Yakabuski said. “Postponing the closures until after the consequences could be understood was the only prudent thing to do.” In response to requests for postponement, the MNR has only reaffirmed their plans. In a “worrying admission,” Orazietti acknowledged that staff from his ministry only began communicating with the affected municipalities regarding the upcoming changes after the announcement to close the bases was announced, Yakabuski noted. “I am deeply concerned that the MNR did not consider all of the pertinent facts before announcing these closures, and that the ability to control fires should they occur will be compromised” Yakabuski said. “When we’re talking about a matter related to public safety, I never want to have to say to the Minister ‘I told you so’, he concluded.

Administered through the Renfrew County Community Futures Corporation, the EODP is a government of Canada initiative that supports economic development in Eastern Ontario, aiming to promote a more diversified and competitive regional economy.

News - Renfrew County council is recommending a budget that would boost its share of the municipal tax bill by 2.26 per cent. In a news release last week after a full-day county budget workshop, the county reports a proposed tax levy increase of close to $1.4 million, up to $37.4 million. While the levy is up 3.76 per cent, the 1.5 per cent growth in current value assessment across the county reduces the tax increase to 2.26 per cent. A recommendation to approve this year’s county budget was to be voted on at the monthly meeting of county council on Wednesday (after press deadline). The budget workshop Jan. 22 was led by Warden Peter Emon and Mayor Raye-Anne

Wardens elect chair, tackle police costs News – The need for an economic development strategy for the area and the curbing of skyrocketing police costs are among the priorities determined by the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) at its annual meeting in Kingston Jan. 17. To tackle the latter problem, the group will look into negotiating a single, region-wide OPP contract for all its municipalities. The group elected United Counties of Prescott and Russell Warden Jean Paul St. Pierre as its chair for 2014 and Northumberland County Warden Linda Thompson as vicechair. The three key priorities established for the caucus in the coming year are: • Completing a new economic development strategy for Eastern Ontario and working with its partners, including

the Eastern Ontario Mayors’ Committee, to finalize a plan for its implementation. • Continuing its research and advocacy work on matters related to the financial sustainability of municipal government in Eastern Ontario. This will include the writing and publication of three new ‘white papers’. • Working to stop the spiraling costs of policing that are crippling municipal budgets. “The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus is working very hard to support all property taxpayers in the 103 member municipalities across the EOWC region and I look forward to lending my help to such efforts,â€? said St. Pierre. “One of our major concerns is the spiraling cost of policing,â€? he noted. “The EOWC is lending its support and its voice to the efforts to reduce

those costs because they are simply unsustainable. Municipalities already have to consider spending reductions on critical infrastructure such as roads and bridges because of escalating police budgets.� St. Pierre said the EOWC is prepared to look at any strategy, including working with all eastern municipalities on negotiating a region-wide contract. “Simply changing the distribution of existing costs between municipalities is akin to shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic,� he concluded. “Municipalities across the region continue to face significant financial shortfalls, and one way to curb this tide is to promote economic development and encourage permanent, sustainable funding,� said County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon.

Powering to the podium: Local ski racers off to strong starts Anne Lefebvre Calabogie Ski Racing Club

Sports - Calabogie Ski Racing Club’s alpine athletes kicked off the season with a bang. The U14s and U16s both had backto-back races Jan. 18 and 19 and topped off the weekend with several podiums and personal bests. The U14s travelled to Vorlage, QC for a slalom race Saturday. The race course was long and steep, but the conditions and weather were favourable. Out of 56 female racers, Lauren Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew kickstarted her season by neatly carving into fourth place. Alexandra Kerr of Kemptville achieved a personal best 15th place. Jessica Earle of Ottawa and Alyssa Steggall of Stittsville landed in 29th and 30th, with Emma Schreider of Kingston in 41st. Sophia Tan of Kanata and Alexa Loudiadis of Ottawa both crashed on their first runs but rallied on the second to finish with fast times. The U14 boys compete in a category against 66 other racers this season. Sam Duff of Pembroke emerged victorious, despite a fall on his first run. Jack Alexander of Carp managed to squeeze into 12th place after missing a gate and hiking on his first run. Sean Swayze of Braeside put together two solid runs to land in 19th, with Connor Allen of Manotick close behind in 26th. Owen Barr of Carp skied to 37th place and Tyler Lefebvre of Calabogie came 43rd after missing a gate and hiking back up the course. Aiden Keuninckx of Perth, debuting in his very first ski race, was an admirable 44th. Liam Maclean of Manotick was on fire on his first run, but his speed led to a spectacular crash. He recovered to complete a strong second run. Sunday saw the U14s at Camp Fortune, QC on a giant slalom course that was so icy it was bulletproof. The athletes gathered their courage and launched themselves down the slippery chute with some mixed results.

The girls dominated – Sophia Tan sped to the podium, finishing third, with Lauren Campbell-Brunke right behind in fourth. Alexa Loudiadis rounded out the top 10 with an eighth-place finish. Alyssa Steggall finished in 19th place, while Alex Kerr and Emma Schreider split the field in 24th and 25th. However, by the time the boys skied, the ice was beginning to claim some victims. Twenty-four of the male racers crashed out on one of their runs, with Sam Duff, Jack Alexander and Aiden Keuninckx being Calabogie’s fall guys. However, all three boys rallied for excellent second runs. Sean Swayze, Connor Allen, Tyler Lefebvre and Owen Barr were a tight team, finishing 15th, 16th, 18th and PATRICK TAN/SUBMITTED 19th. Liam Maclean had two great Sean Swayze of Braeside competes in a slalom ski race. runs to end with 30th place. The U16s had a grand inaugural weekend.

Arnprior Juvenile Packers retain their hold on first Sports – The Arnprior Juvenile Packers chalked up another impressive win against the Stittsville Rams Saturday, beating them 9-4. It was a real team effort with most of the Packers’ nine goals being scored by individual players. Joe Gray (#25) and McEwan Homes #11 Jake Dunn were the exception with two goals each. The play for both teams was for the most

part penalty-free until mid-way through the third period when frustration overruled their discipline. Referee Greg Flick called five penalties on Stittsville and two on Arnprior. The end of the regular season is fast approaching with only three games left to play. The Arnprior Juvenile Packers next two home games are this Friday, Jan. 31 at 7:30

p.m. and Friday, Feb. 7 at 8:30 p.m. It looks as if the Packers will finish in first place, giving them home rink advantage for the upcoming playoffs. The Arnprior Juvenile Packers are looking forward to next season and invite those players of Major and Minor Midget Age to come out and get to know the Juvenile Packers hockey organization.

HELPING CANADIANS MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES HOW GOVERNMENT GUIDANCE CAN HELP IMPROVE POINT OF PURCHASE NUTRITION LOGO PROGRAMS ISSUE Canadians are confused with the abundance of nutrition labelling information, including front-of-package and at-shelf point of purchase nutrition logos. Canadians could benefit from comparable nutrition information if the federal government was to provide guidance to the food manufacturers, retailers and non-profit organizations running nutrition logo programs.

Warm up at firefighters association Winter Fire Ball Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Community – The McNab-Braeside Firefighters Association is heating things up in February. The association hosts its inaugural Winter Fire Ball, a fundraising gala, on Feb. 15. Fire prevention officer Karen Barsoski said the association wanted to try something a little different this year. “It’s a full ball open to the public,” she said. “Firefighters will be dressed in their dress uniforms. Neighbouring departments, family, friends and supporters are welcome to come.” The idea came from one of the association members, who remembered that Arnprior used to host a winter fire ball. “I think it’ll be a really fun evening,” said Barsoski. The theme for the evening is Winter Wonderland and Tracey Climo of Mel’s Flowers and her team are expected to transform the Nick Smith Centre community hall into a spectacular sight for attendees. The fire ball will be held at the Nick Smith

Centre in Arnprior, from 6 p.m. until 1 a.m. Cocktails begin at 6 p.m., followed by a “magnificent” dinner to be prepared by executive chef Randy Paulen at 7 p.m. Dinner will finish with a silent auction, leading to entertainment and dancing with music by The Front End. The $45/person tickets and can be purchased at Mel’s Flowers, 291 Elgin St., or MacPherson’s Plumbing, 106 Daniel St., in Arnprior or from any member of the fire department. Organizers have paired up with Simply Beautiful in Arnprior to offer 15 per cent off the price of a regular priced gown upon presentation of a ball ticket. “If you need a dress, Simply Beautiful is the place to go,” said Barsoski.

SUBMITTED/KAREN BARSOSKI

The McNab-Braeside Firefighters Association has teamed up with Simply Beautiful Bridal Boutique in Arnprior to help outfit those attending the Winter Fire Ball fundraising gala on Saturday, Feb. 15. Once you have purchased your ticket for the ball, you are entitled to 15 per cent off any regular-priced evening gown at Simply Beautiful. Store owner Chantal Beaulieu, left, joins firefighter and fire ball committee member Kelly O’Rourke to display a few of the many gowns in all colours and sizes to suit everyone.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF ARNPRIOR AND MCNAB-BRAESIDE ARCHIVES

The upcoming McNab-Braeside Firefighters Association Winter Fire Ball was inspired by similar events once hosted by the Arnprior Fire Department. Photos from the fireman’s ball, circa 1974 or 1975, show event attendees all decked out for the event. Former Arnprior Fire Chief Tom Burnette is second from right in the front row.

The things that would make Mary happy could fill a book Lifestyle - It was unusual for Miss Crosby to break with routine. But that Friday the snow was coming down so heavily, we couldn’t see the barns when we got up in the morning, and that had a lot to do with her changing our usual afternoon school day work. Parents would be coming with sleighs and cutters to take us home, which in itself was unusual. The weather had to be pretty fierce to warrant a ride to or from the

Northcote School! And so Miss Crosby announced after recess, we all could put our books away, keeping out only our grammar notebooks. We had at least an hour to put in. Miss Crosby said, to cheer us up on that cold and blustery Friday, we were to write (or in my case, print) all the things we could think of that made us happy. I gathered seeing bad Marguirite falling flat on her face was not exactly what Miss Crosby had in mind. She also said we were to take our grammar books home to finish up our lists as homework. I could see the senior pupils writing with great speed, whereas it took me forever to print my very first line in my scribbler. I had absolutely no trouble coming up with the very first thing that made me happy on a winter’s day, especially on that particular Friday. Father would be coming with the flat-bottom sleigh. I would be sitting in the very front with him, wrapped in the fur blanket he would toss in before leaving the barns. And I would be listening to the sleigh bells hanging around the necks of King and Queen, as they plop-plopped through the deep snow. I thought, back then, that the sleigh bells made the most beautiful sounds in the whole

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

world. I especially liked them at night, driving in our long lane, or coming across the snow-covered 20-acre field. Often they would lull me to sleep, leaning against Father’s shoulder, and I would feel the utmost contentment and happiness. And so sleigh bells headed my list. Smelling freshly baked bread when I walked in the house after coming from school simply had to go on my list too. And seeing the high, fat loaves lined up on the bake table, and knowing I would be able to claim the outside crust off at least one of them, caused my mouth to water, as I printed homemade bread on my list. And crawling into beds that had been made up with fresh sheets taken off the clothesline that day gave me special joy and a great feeling of happiness. I would fall asleep with my nose crushed into the pillow to get the most benefit of the new smell, and wrap the sheet tight around my neck. And the scent would stay with me until my eyes heavily

closed. The next day, the wonderful smell of freshness would be gone, but that night I would have nestled into a sweet happiness of sheer joy. Listening to my sister’s sweet voice, singing softly at night in bed, brought me special joy. Walking hand-in-hand with my best friend Velma to the Northcote School ... girls did that back then, and knowing in my heart we would be best friends for ever ... that brought me joy. When Mother could take something out of the hand-medown box sent from Regina by Aunt Lizzie, like a man’s suit coat, or a once lovely blouse, or a man’s shirt, and take it apart, and it would turn into something I could wear to school ... to me, brand spanking new ... that brought me happiness. And I would feel such joy, knowing what a clever Mother I had. Just having a few pennies tied into the corner of my hanky, tucked in the very back of my washstand drawer, and thinking how rich I was, brought me a special feeling. I would handle it carefully, and one day I would take it into Walker’s Store in Renfrew and perhaps buy new hair ribbons, or walk down to the Dime Store and buy some butterscotch discs to suck on the way home to the farm. Such luxury back then

when a few pennies could make the difference between feeling poor and rich. On a freezing Monday, knowing Mother had done the weekly wash when I came home from school, I would know that the laundry would have been taken off the line to finish its drying in the kitchen. Everything would be stiff as boards, with Father’s and the brother’s long combination underwear standing like white soldiers against the wall by the stove frozen solid. The smells in the kitchen would be of freshness, and outdoors, and homemade soap, and I would sit and watch to see what piece of underwear would succumb to gravity first. I could never explain why just seeing the clean clothes, and inhaling the fresh smell of the frosty outdoors, brought me such happiness, but it did. I printed until it was bedtime. I would have a lot to share with Miss Crosby on Monday. Maybe I would get a little gold star stuck onto the page of my grammar scribbler. I went to bed thinking of all the things that could make me happy. And I knew then, the list would be endless. Even though there was little money for frivolity or luxuries, I had far more to write about than would fit into my grammar book.

Community - With the income tax season right around the corner, the ArnpriorBraeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program (ABMSHP) offers a Community Volunteer Income Tax Program available only to individuals with low to modest income. You must have a ‘simple’ tax situation, i.e. no self-employment or business income or expenses, no capital gains or losses, and no bankruptcy files. The Seniors at Home office, at Towne Centre Unit A1 - 106 McGonigal St. West in Arnprior, is open to accept 2013 income tax forms starting Monday, March 3 until

May 2. The service is offered Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Make note, these are the only days and times volunteers are available to accept your returns. Please make note, we will not be taking any or delivering any income tax forms on any Tuesday or Thursday, nor will we be taking any or delivering any income tax on the slotted days outside of the hours as stated above. As reminders, please make sure you have the following items included with your package: • T4s from Old Age Security and Canada Pension Plan; • Interest T5s from financial institutions;

• 2012 rent or property tax receipts; • medical expense receipts; • proof of date of birth; • present marital status; • 2012 income tax return (last year’s); • 2012 notice of assessment (last year’s). Seniors and Home offers the income tax program free of charge, but as we are a non-profit charitable organization and count heavily on the generosity of the community, all donations will be accepted upon completion of your income tax. In return you will receive an official donation receipt for income tax purposes (2014). If you require any further information, contact program co-ordinator Patti Jennings at 613-623-7981.

Weight management, wellness and nutrition

Opinion – Like most individuals, the last meal you probably ate would be around five or six in the evening. Since most people eat lunch at noon and taking into account that perhaps you had an evening snack around eight or nine, you’re actually not eating for at least 15 hours. Breakfast is essentially a break from a fast and there are many problems associated with skipping breakfast. As the day goes on, your blood sugar falls causing you to feel light headed, nauseous, lethargic (brain fog), cranky, moody, unable to concentrate, just to name a few. Studies have shown that skipping breakfast leads to obesity due to the fact that during the day our bodies are trying to make up for the caloric deficit. Skipping breakfast contributes to poor productivity in the workplace and lower grades for students. A breakfast containing fat such as fried eggs, bacon and white sandwich bread slathered with butter not only contribute to obesity, high cholesterol and premature aging, this type of meal does very little to fuel our minds and bodies. Believe it or not, you lose seven minutes of your life per slice of bacon. So what should we eat to start the day? Whole grains such as whole wheat bread, lean protein such as a soft or hard-boiled eggs, egg whites, fruit, vegetables and legumes. Cereals that are minimally processed, low in sugar and sodium with skim milk are acceptable. Stay away from fatty foods, white flour, sugary cereals and high levels of sodium, such as

bacon or ham, all of which can make you feel tired and hungrier quicker. One of the best meals for breakfast is a homemade vegetable soup. Soup satisfies us on cold winter days, replenishes the fluids lost while sleeping and is packed full of nutritious vegetables. Adding lentils; a complex carbohydrate; and quinoa, an ancient grain, which is considered a complete protein, completes the nutrient profile of complex carbohydrates, plant-based protein and healthy fats, making a homemade vegetable soup a complete meal. Food for thought! An average male consumes approximately 2,000 to 3,000 calories spread out throughout the day. A sumo wrestler skips breakfast and consumes 20,000 calories divided between lunch and supper. Eating this way allows his body to slowly digest the massive amounts of food ingested while he sleeps, therefore, allowing him to gain the enormous amount of weight required. The saying, “you are what you eat,” is true. Our bodies are designed to function optimally on foods that are whole and minimally processed.

He holds many other certification and specialties within nutrition and specializes in lifestyle and weight management.

Heart Jam in memory of Ron McMunn set for Feb. 2 Jeff Maguire

Events - For more than 20 years, country musicians from across Lanark County and Eastern Ontario have come together in Carleton Place in February to perform and raise funds for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. The production was started by the late Ottawa Valley country music legend Ron McMunn. Nicknamed ‘The Silver Fox’, McMunn, who was well known across the region, was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 1986. Following his death from pancreatic cancer in 2007 a committee was formed to continue the tradition. On Sunday, Feb. 2 the ‘The Silver Fox’ Country Music Heart Jam will be staged in the Upper Hall of the Carleton Place Arena. The venture long ago surpassed the six-figure mark in earnings. Last year’s event realized nearly $9,500 for the Heart Institute, which is a world leader in cardiovascular surgery and care. The Jam is held during Heart Month when the institute is active raising funds to continue their

good work. The show, which will feature some 30 entertainers including McMunn’s sons Jamie and Jeff, is expected to be another sellout. The musical extravaganza will run from 2-8 p.m. and tickets, which must be purchased in advance, cost $15 apiece. Almonte’s Charlie Kitts, a 2010 inductee into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame (as a builder) will again be emcee. Kitts says McMunn’s objective each year was to raise $10,000 for the Heart Institute. “The Silver Fox always found a way to reach that figure,� he recalls. “He was the lightning rod (for the event). Jamie and Jeff (McMunn’s sons) carry on the old Fox mystique.� Besides the McMunn brothers and Smokey Rose, the line-up for this year extravaganza also includes Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame members Don Cochrane, Freddie Dixon, Andy Clarke and Howard Hayes. Others on the bill include Dave ‘Brownie’ Brown along with local favourites Ed Bowes (of the Bowes Brothers), Judi Moffatt and Almonte’s Brad Munro.

Timbre) on violin and viola as well,� says McCauley. “All of the songs on Aventine were written (music and lyrics), recorded, produced and arranged by Agnes at her home in Berlin and in a rented drum studio in the Kreuzberg district. “Her debut album Philharmonics received critical praise and earned her five Danish Music Awards, and last year

she performed at the 2013 iTunes Festival alongside the likes of The Pixies and Sigur Ros,� McCauley adds. Originally from Copenhagen, Obel has lived in Berlin since 2006, where Aventine was recorded at her Chalk Wood Studios between January and May of 2013. The album was written, arranged, and produced by Obel, who provides piano and vocals.
