Winter use of trails to be discussed Feb. 9 Snowmobilers and other outdoor recreationalists are invited to a meeting Tuesday, Feb. 9 to discuss use of the trails between Division Street and Scheel Drive in
McNab-Braeside. The meeting will run from 6 to 7 p.m. at the main McNab-Braeside fire hall on Russett Drive. Council is trying to deter-
mine whether the popular trail should be restricted to snowmobile use during winter months or be officially recognized as a multi-use route.

Oh deer! A Sand Point man rescued this small deer after he was stranded three quarters of the way out on the ice of the Ottawa River Tuesday. The man attached skis to a piece of plywood and skated out to save the deer who was in distress due to unknown injuries. Neighbours called the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), but they said officials were unable to respond,. The MNR later told the paper they are looking into the situation. At press time, the deer rescuers were still waiting to see if the deer was able to recover enough to make its way to safety by itself.
Snowmobiler deaths prompt OPP alert In the wake of a tragic weekend that claimed the lives of three snowmobilers on frozen waterways, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) are warning snowmobilers about unsafe ice and urging everyone, including anglers to stay off lakes and rivers. In one incident over the weekend, four snowmobilers went through the ice on a lake in the Haliburton region and one of them drowned. In another incident, a snowmobiler and his passenger were travelling on a Georgian Bay area lake and died after reportedly colliding with rocks on an island. The ice was too unsafe to get to the victims by ground and they had to be recovered by helicopter. The OPP note that the winter’s late start
and persisting mild temperatures throughout the province make current ice conditions “extremely dangerous.” Even when sufficient ice forms, it is never 100 per cent safe to snowmobile on, say the OPP. “Staying off the ice altogether is the only sure way to prevent snowmobile tragedies from occurring on waterways. Some snowmobilers call riding on frozen waterways a “personal choice”. However, this is not the case when riders and their snowmobiles go through the ice and police, other emergency personnel and civilians have to try to rescue them on unsafe ice. The OPP and OFSC recommend that snowmobilers adhere to available, landbased OFSC trails whenever possible. OFSC clubs provide many trails that avoid water crossings altogether.

Fewer students means more empty space at area schools, which in turn could be used by community groups. An upcoming meeting hosted by Renfrew County District School Board will explore options for å community partnerships while bringing in some revenue at schools such as Arnprior District High School (ADHS) and Renfrew Collegiate Institute.
Both schools are operating at less than 60 per cent of the education ministry’s rated capacity and/or have greater than 200 unused pupil spaces for two years or more. So are eight others in areas in the county north of Renfrew. The Town of Arnprior will send a representative to the meeting armed with ideas for cost-sharing of facilities. The town’s recently published recreation master plan suggested helping to fix up the tennis courts at the high school
for general public use as an example of a xsharing possibility. When the invitation was sent to Arnprior council, Coun. Dan Lynch expressed concern over ADHS’s future. “I don’t want to see the school closed or lose any funding,” he said, while confirming the town will send someone. Any community groups interested in attending the meeting, slated for Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2 p.m., at Opeongo High School, should contact Michelle Giles at gilesm@rcdsb.on.ca.
Continued from front
BUSINESSES CLOSED
The lack of people at Nick Smith has forced the canteen and pro shop owners to close more often, even on many Saturdays, traditionally the busiest day of the week. Teresa Turcotte and Jason Durand sent a letter to council on Dec. 30 saying business “has been reduced to virtually zero” due to council’s decision to raise rates during the period of no user agreement with the township. They asked for a rent reduction. “As a direct result of this policy and the subsequent reduction in traffic, the pro shop and canteen located at this facility has seen a significant reduction in revenue,” they wrote. “In an attempt to continue to provide service of any type, we are requesting a 50 per cent per month reduction in the rents payable to the Town of Arnprior beginning in January.” They also asked for another 50 per cent reduction from May to August, and no rent when the ice is out. “This reduction in rental payments is proportional and reflects the reduced traffic currently being experienced by the facility.” Reid said the rink fee reductions should bring people back. The leases are up for renegotiation soon, too, so he is leaving details up to town staff. “I don’t want to speculate what deal will be negotiated.” R0013661777-0128
That means teams outside Arnprior Minor Hockey Association’s territory who currently pay $195 per hour (during winter prime time and all summer ice) would pay $169. That would lower the cost for AA and AAA teams such as Aces and Titans, Arthur said. Arthur provided a comparison of similar facilities in neighbouring towns. For local minor hockey teams, Carleton Place charges about $130 an hour, Pembroke $104, Smiths Falls $135 and Ottawa $172. Arnprior’s is $130 and will remain at that rate. Council agreed to the changes. It also agreed to lower tournament prices. Local adults pay $1,690 and minors $1,300 for 12 hours of ice time. Non-locals would see their charges drop by $254 and $260 respectively, making them more competitive. Smiths Falls is the only comparable town with a tournament fee. It is $1,620 for 12 hours. Arnprior’s will go down to $1,687 for adults and $1,250 for minors. Town staff hoped council would agree to the changes for April 1. Arthur was pleasantly surprised to hear Mayor David Reid and Reeve Walter Stack talk about making it happen at the Feb. 8 meeting. “I’m totally supportive of this report. I agree with the recommendations,” Reid said. “And it fits in with some of our neighbours.” He remains concerned with the cost for little kids to join figure skating, ringette, CanSkate and hockey. Town staff was tasked with coming up with new dollar amounts to lure more families on the ice. Stack agreed, saying only 15 per cent of kids in town are participating in CanSkate.
“I know it’s cost prohibitive for a lot of parents,” he said, noting that fewer young people across Canada are participating in hockey and other ice-related sports. With fewer users, Arthur said future adult users – such as men’s hockey leagues - might get times earlier than 9 p.m.

OPP step up patrols in village Derek Dunn
Derek.dunn@metroland.com
OPP have stepped up patrols in a high-risk area that recently saw a mother hit while crossing the road with her young son. River Road – where is passes through the village of Braeside – was the site of a Jan. 18 accident when a car attempted to pass a line of vehicles trailing behind a snowplow. The mother was hit and injured, but the child was not. Parents in the area called for more police presence in the area, specifically when students are getting on and off school buses. “We have increased patrols in that area and will maintain it,” said Const. Janice Sawbridge. She asks the drivers obey speed limits, that leaving for a destination well in advance helps ensure the safety off all; and that speed-
ing rarely makes up the amount of time some people hope for. However, Sawbridge admits that funding pressures mean OPP cannot step up patrols every day in every village. Even though the need exists elsewhere. For example, shortly before the Christmas holidays, a bus was stopped on White Lake Road. The lights were flashing, a line of cars waiting and Lori Hoddinott’s 6-year-old started across. She had made it to the yellow line midway and suddenly an oncoming car came sailing through. “The bus driver was honking, feverishly waving for them to stop,” Hoddinott said. “I was screaming at my daughter to get back to the shoulder. It scared everyone very badly. The car did not stop, kept right on going.” Similar complaints have been made about cars along Albert
Street in Arnprior, and near every elementary school in town. Sawbridge said a partial solution is to post speed signs. OPP move the electronic signs, which flash and record every passing vehicle’s speed, from area to area. If one area proves a large number of speeders, OPP step up patrols. A more substantial response could be found in photo radar. It records the vehicle’s licence plate number. A fine is sent through mail to the owner. Photo radar was much talked about in 1990s Ontario. But many voters saw it as a tax grab, or as resembling a police state. That puts the onus back on drivers, Sawbridge said. “Given our limited resources – and we can’t be everywhere all the time – we hope for some personal policing,” she said. “Driving isn’t a right. If you can’t obey the rules you don’t get to have a license.”
MP raises Valley murders in House of Commons
Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has invited the Minister of Justice to spend some time listening to the families of three women murdered in Renfrew County last Sept. 22. Gallant raised the murders in the House of Commons on Jan. 25. Noting that violence against women continues to be a fact of
life in Canada, she told the Parliament that Carol Culleton, Nathalie Warmerdam and Anastasia Kuzyk were killed by someone known to each of them. “On average in Canada, one woman is killed by her intimate partner every five days,” she said. Gallant pointed out that the man arrested and accused of their
murders had a long criminal history, including charges involving two of the three women. “Changing our laws to blame the victim is just plain wrong,” she added. “Let us not allow Carol, Nathalie, Anastasia, and all the other women who have been murdered by their intimate partners to have died in vain.”

Town report shows humane society grant similar to same-sized towns Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The Town of Arnprior spends about the same as similar sized municipalities on animal pound and shelter services. A recent staff report showed the $15,000 grant provided to Arnprior and District Humane Society is close the median of $16,800 gleaned from the results of a survey sent to Ontario municipalities with a population between 5,000 and 15,000 residents. The report was prompted by the humane society’s request, in the lead-up to the 2015 budget, for a $100,000 grant from both Arnprior and neighbouring McNab-Braeside. The group said it had expenses
of almost $220,000. The town rejected the request in favour of the status quo, as did the township. The town staff report recommends the same this year. “This data collection and following analysis confirmed that the Town of Arnprior is providing a comparative amount of funding to the Arnprior District Humane Society as other municipalities,” wrote Lucas Reinhardt of the corporate services department. “Council (should) maintain the current level of funding and direct the clerk to prepare a formal agreement to ensure that pound keeping services are met to the satisfaction of the municipality.” Reinhardt’s research shows the
town is in the minority when it comes to the “existing informal agreement” it holds with the humane society. He suggests formalizing the animal control operations through contractual agreements. It would help ensure excellent customer service and create reserved spaces for dogs and cats brought to the humane society by the town’s animal control officer. The animal control officer, according to the report, brought 21 animals to the humane society between Jan. 1 and mid-November last year. The humane society took in 118 animals all-together. The town’s 2016 draft budget has pegged funding for the humane society at $15,000.
Travellers warned about Zika The risk to Ontarians of contacting the Zika virus at home is “very low,” but people, especially pregnant women, travelling to Central and South America should be aware of the dangers, warn Ontario health officials. In an alert last Friday, Ontario Minister of Health and Long Term Care Dr. Eric Hoskins and the province’s acting Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams, explained that the local risk is low as the mosquitoes known to transmit the virus are not established in Canada and are not well-suited to its climate. However, current evidence suggests that Zika virus is likely to persist and spread in the Americas and the South Pacific, says the statement Therefore, travellers should consult their health care provider before travelling and protect them-
selves by taking protective measures to prevent mosquito bites, including using insect repellent, protective clothing, mosquito nets, and screened doors and windows, the alert advises. “It is recommended that pregnant women and those considering becoming pregnant discuss their travel plans with their health care provider to assess their risk and consider postponing travel to areas where the Zika virus is circulating in the Americas. “We will continue to assess the risk on an ongoing basis by working with our partners, and support enhanced awareness for Ontarians.” The Public Health Agency of Canada has issued public health and travel health notices concerning the Zika virus following confirmed travel-related cases of iinfection in Canada originating from Central and South America.

• Eating well is one of the best investments Canadians can make for their overall health. It can help them manage weight, keep blood pressure down, control blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and generally feel better.
• Healthy eating is important at every stage of life. What children eat today not only affects their growth and development but sets healthy eating patterns that will continue into adulthood.
• 70% of shopping decisions are made in the store, at the point of purchase.
How does the Heart and Stroke Foundation help Canadians and their families make healthy choices? • Through its Health Check program, helps them make healthy food choices in grocery stores and restaurants. It also challenges and works with the food industry to make more healthy choices available to Canadians.
Government guidelines for point of purchase nutrition logo programs, which include front-of-package and at-shelf logos, could help Canadians make healthy choices. This guidance could encourage programs that: • Use criteria that are: based on science, follow the recommendations in Canada’s Food Guide, and are publicly available
• Provides healthy eating resources, tips and recipes.
• Are neutral and independent

BACKGROUND The Heart and Stroke Foundation encourages Canadians to follow a healthy diet, make meals from scratch, follow Canada’s Food Guide, and make healthy choices wherever they are. Canadians want to choose healthy foods for themselves and their children but are busy and faced with a vast array of food choices with various labels and health claims in the grocery store. At times, this creates more confusion than help as consumers try to make sense of this competing information. Given that healthy choices are not always the easy choices, Canadians need support.

Arnprior Mayor David Reid is inclined to support the proposed Energy East pipeline that would pass through neighbouring McNab-Braeside and cross the Madawaska River. Reid made the comments days after Denis Coderre and several other Montreal area mayors held a press conference to say they oppose TransCanada’s plan. Coderre said the potential risks outweigh possible eco-
nomic benefits to communities along the route from northern Alberta oilsands to New Brunswick. Reid said his municipality has submitted several questions to TransCanada. Of those answered so far, he is satisfied with the explanations. The company will use the latest technologies and put significant safety measures in place. “The issue will be coming back to council again,” Reid said. “I would be leaning toward supporting it.” He also added that the
choice is between shipping oil by rail or pipeline; the latter is safer. Critics have focused on the catastrophic fallout should the converted 35-year-old natural gas line rupture. Others have calculated that little of the profit and perhaps none of the oil will benefit average Canadians. Proponents chided the Montreal area leaders, saying their position is based on scoring political points among Quebec’s environmental-conscientious voters. Others called it hypocriti-
cal to accept transfer payments that originated in Alberta while rejecting the source of it. The issue has even teetered on the verge of becoming a national unity crisis. Interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose said westerners are beginning to compare it to the once-despised National Energy Program. The implications on cli-
mate change of continuing to extract oil is raised by few players involved, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government. It will amend criteria by which oil industry projects are judged, but hasn’t delivered a definitive yes or no over Energy East. It is unclear how the federal government can help mitigate the effects of rising

Arnprior offers no specifics RESTAURANT in federal budget input meet Derek Dunn
Derek.dunn@metroland.com
There was no request for specific projects in Arnprior during a recent pre-federal budget meeting of area municipal representatives with Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, according to Mayor David Reid. He appreciated the first-time invitation and found it useful to hear the perspective of other local government leaders. But isn’t fooling himself in believing all their points will make it into the federal government’s plans. “It was good. How much will get into a federal budget? Probably very little,” Reid said. “But to have those discussions with your peers is useful.” He said the mayors and reeves, including Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack and McNabBraeside Mayor Tom Peckett, talked a lot about the types of funding.
Reid’s municipality would prefer more from the gas tax and similar programs; consistent, stable and ongoing funding. The funding that comes by way of grants is time consuming and oppressive, he indicated. “We’d like to have more autonomy,” Reid said. “Give us credit for what we feel is need for our communities.” He maintains Arnprior has done well under the grants program, getting its fair share in federal and provincial spending. But with mandated plans such as asset management and capital budget projections, municipalities provide enough proof for funding as it is. “Everything is pretty well spelled out already,” he said. Gallant said that one of the main messages from the mayors was “they do not want a return to the old system that operated like a lottery with little transparency.” For more on the MP’s take on the meeting, see Page 10.

Arnprior hospital compliant with new parking fees An announcement last week by the province aimed at putting a cap on hospital parking fees will have no effect in Arnprior. The provincial government declared that hospitals, mostly those in the cities, charging more than $10 a day must provide discounted weekly or monthly passes that can be shared between patients and caregivers and allow in-and-out privileges. However, parking charges at the Arnprior hospital are well below that figure. In August 2015, Arnprior Regional Health increased parking rates to $4 a day and boosted monthly parking passes to $40 per month. Parking is available 24-hours-aday, seven-days-a-week at both the front and the back of the hospital

and there are clearly designated handicapped parking spaces. “ARH is no different than any other hospital as parking dollars help towards funding operational costs,” said the hospital in a news release. “When we increased our parking rates from $2 to $4 in August 2015, it was to offset the cost of the much-needed facility renewal project which is about $5 million over the next 3 to 4 years.” ARH also notes that there is no fee for parking at the Grove Nursing Home. Monthly parking passes for the hospital may be bought at the registration desk in the emergency department. The passes are “fully compliant” with the direction provided by the Ministry of Health.

Welcoming Sryian family makes ours a better place M any in Arnprior and McNabBraeside are expressing great joy and excitement at the news of a Syrian family of refugees coming to town. There is some opposition, of course, with both valid and invalid complaints. Nevertheless, at the heart of the issue, the idea of friends and neighbours pooling resources to rescue strangers mired in death and horror a half world away reaches the very highest realms of human kindness. Inexplicably, it will make our community a better place. Last summer and autumn when violence in war-torn Syria reached a grim climax, not long after little Alan Kurdi’s lifeless body captured world attention, a group of friends from Arnprior’s Opportunity Shop and elsewhere decided to stop talking and accepting. They started doing. Led by Elaine Lowe, the group that would become known as Project Arnprior Welcome (PAW) began planning ways to secure a family’s passage to Arnprior. It is important to note that they considered other options: simply donate money to a non-governmental organization on the ground; help bring a family to a nearby community that offers more resources. Those may have been more practical uses of their scarce resources. But when the origin of an idea can be found in love, rationality often plays a secondary role. At one point during the discussions, Lowe made it known that she wanted to meet the family, to have an opportunity to develop a

To the Editor: I was a tad confused by Cheryl Gallant’s latest ‘Report from Parliament’ (Arnprior ChronicleGuide, Jan. 21) as well as her recent mailout ‘Protecting Our Democracy’.

relationship. “I want to make new friends,” she said. Is that frivolous and selfish? No. There is wisdom and incentive in knowing that we help ourselves when we help others. Critics of Canada’s efforts fear terrorists will be hiding among the 25,000 refugees we are welcoming. But the government appears determined to move at a measured pace, and it is not naïve to trust proper safeguards are in place. Also, the rewards far outweigh the risks. That takes care of the invalid complaint. The valid complaint cannot be completely discounted. Some critics, including some locals, say money and energy would be put to better use helping fellow Canadians, especially suffering aboriginals. The trite retort is to say: Then you lead the way! Another response is to say many refugees are middle class people who ask only to fit in; many marginalized Canadians suffer from complex issues that, despite our efforts to date, haven’t be resolved. That fails the equity test, obviously. So maybe it does makes more sense to focus on Canadians in need. And yet when we are motivated by compassion we don’t always make sense. We want to pluck a family from the flames of chaos and plump them down among us. The immediate benefits to us, if any, are unknown. And yet many have sensed – have made a leap of faith – our community will be a much better place with them here. The whole will be made greater than the sum of its parts.

mongering. But for my fear to be properly mongered, I require more detail than the vague Chicken Little claim that the Liberals are going to change the way we elect our government and they don’t want Canadians to have any say in the matter. So I decided to do a little research into how the government of Canada is planning to unilaterally mess with our parliamentary democracy.
Could she be referring to the hilariously named Fair Elections Act, a dog’s breakfast of a bill that added burdensome ID requirements that made it more difficult for citizens to cast a ballot, and which also attempted to restrict Elections Canada and the Chief Electoral Officer from doing their job of encouraging and ensuring Canadians’ right to vote? No, wait. That was her government that shoved that embarrass-

Don’t wait for spring to clear sidewalks To the Editor:
JOHN CARTER/METROLAND
Among the “great students’ helping bats by building bat boxes are Walter Zadow’s Derek Smith, Malachy Hutchinson, Erin McCombe and Grace Currie.
Boxes a safe place to raise bats To the Editor:
I loved this article about these great students (‘Walter Zadow class builds boxes to protect bats’, Chronicle-Guide, Jan. 21), but wanted to point out an error. Bats do not get the white-nose syndrome fungus because they do not have an adequately protected place to winter. The fungus grows in hibernation areas that otherwise would be safe and where bats have
been hibernating before the fungus arrived here. Bat boxes are not meant to provide hibernation shelter for bats. They are meant to provide summer roosting habitat, including a safe place where mother bats can raise their young. Any help we can give bats these days helps. Thanks for covering this topic. Catherine J. Hibbard U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
A few weeks ago I wrote about the town winning “the award for stupidity” after they decided not to clear snow from our sidewalks. Here is an update on their stupidity. Last week a town snowplow swerved around the streets in Campbellbrook Village. It had its wing down and looked like it was winging back the snow off the road and in a few spots it did touch the sidewalks. But it was obvious that the plan to clear the sidewalks was an absolute failure. We do not think that it had our safety in mind, but simply wanted to move some snow back to make room for the next snowfall. The sidewalks are still plugged with snow and the kids, seniors and residents have to use the road, and we worry every day. Last week the residents on Stonehaven Way voiced their frustration. One resident went on Facebook to vent her anger. Derek Dunn of Metroland wrote an excellent report in the paper last week. We really thank him and we thank the one councillor who asked that the town clear the sidewalks. Go figure, last December it took the town five minutes to decide to not clear sidewalks. Now the motion to clear them waits two weeks to have them discuss it. The stupidity award again! The stupid town adopted the saying “why wait for
Area MP losing what little influence she had To the Editor: These three months and a half months have not gone very well for our long serving MP Cheryl Gallant. Her party was reduced to the Official Opposition (but that happens to every party after 10 years in office - except at the Ontario Legislature apparently).
To add insult to that injury, she didn’t even get named to the Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet by Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose. Worse, no one told Cheryl she hadn’t been named to the Shadow Cabinet and so she went around to the local press bubbling about how she had been.
Election win settled issue Continued from page 8
No, wait. That was the Harper government as well. I guess she can only be talking about the Liberals plan to reform our antiquated first-past-the-post electoral system after a lengthy and thorough consultative process that includes convening an all-party parliamentary committee to review the matter. If this is indeed what she is nattering on about, I can only express further confusion. How exactly is the implementation of a key campaign platform that led to Trudeau’s election as our Prime Minister something that we had no say on? I coulda sworn it was a mere few months ago that we cast our votes based on this and other issues in a federal election. Andrew Fogarasi Arnprior
A quick look at the Conservative website proved otherwise. Then she didn’t get to speak at all in the week that Parliament sat before Christmas - despite most of her colleagues doing so. Granted she decided against showing up for work that week - including missing the chance to vote against the Liberals middle class tax cut, which is now in effect to the benefit of 1/3 of her riding. Perhaps that’s why she didn’t want to vote against it, or maybe she was trying to not say anything in the hopes Rona would let her talk in the New Year. I have to say her single members statement last week about the murders in our riding was really very moving. However, it was overshadowed by Ambrose’s audacious statement of support for nixing the clause prohibiting same-sex marriage from the Tories constitution. Oh the humanity! Since Cheryl is one of those people who think that we gays are the cause of all of the world’s ills. What is a radical right wing woman from the 19th century to do? Well until this week she could hope for a reprieve by doing some excellent committee work. After all, for the past few parliaments she’s
gotten on both Defence and Industry/ Technology. It was her presence on those committees that she used over the past few years to prove her devotion to CFB Petawawa, veterans, and AECL/CNL Chalk River. Which may make the next few years rather difficult for her. Although she managed to get one of the three Conservative seats on the Defence Committee, she failed to get a seat on Industry, Science and Technology. It seems both the Conservatives are trying to use their fresh blood to revamp the party’s image, while the Liberals are keeping their promise to keep Parliamentary Secretaries off the committees. The past few months have just been one blow after another for Gallant. Denied a place in the Shadow Cabinet, denied one of her traditional seats on committees, and silenced under a leader who has somewhat tried to focus on actual facts so far and more importantly supports recognizing the dreaded homosexuals as human beings. Well for Cheryl things are just going to get worse. Brendan Edge Trent University student Arnprior
spring … do it now.” The only thing is, they read it wrong and think it said “why do it now … wait for spring? Well, at least they had enough brains to know that the snow would melt off the sidewalks in the spring. ‘The award for stupidity’. Think about it. Stupid decisions include the smart centre, water billing, recreation and library, and expropriation to name a few. And the list goes on. Residents feel that even with high property taxes, they feel Arnprior is a real good place to live. We just are frustrated because Arnprior could be a great, great place. The town just keeps tripping. Please do not wait for spring … clear our sidewalks now. Dave Thompson Arnprior

Let municipalities decide which projects to be funded: mayors
Joining Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant at a federal budget input session are host mayor Hal Johnson of Whitewater Region, Renfrew County Warden and Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon, Pembroke Mayor Mike LeMay, Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet, Laurentian Valley Mayor Steve Bennett and Reeve Debbie Robinson, Mayor Jane Dumas of South Algonquin Township, Mayor Tom Peckett of McNab-Braeside, Renfrew Mayor Don Eady, Arnprior Mayor David Reid and Reeve Walter Stack, and Greater Madawaska Mayor Glenda McKay.
Several area mayors, including Arnprior’s David Reed and McNab-Braeside’s Tom Peckett, met with their local MPP in Cobden last week to share their thoughts on what the federal budget priorities should be. In a news release, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant said the municipal representatives advice to the federal government is to “skip the administrative phase of designing a complicated, make-work program for bureaucrats that requires municipalities to spend thousands of taxpayer dollars on expensive consultants with no guarantee of funding.” She noted that well-run municipalities have asset management plans, so they know what needs to be done. “Distribute any new infrastructure funds the way the federal gas tax is distributed and trust municipalities to do their job,” she added. Gallant quoted Madawaska Valley Mayor Kim Love as saying: “The property tax base in rural areas struggles to maintain basic infrastructure. Increasing those rates will only drive away residents and businesses. “Municipalities face a lose-lose proposition; be fiscally responsible, raise taxes significantly and drive people away, or don’t raise taxes enough to fix/ replace crumbling infrastructure, have people leave because no one wants to live here and have that drive taxes up for those who stay.” Gallant suggested that “unfortunately, recent speeches and announcements from the new federal government indicate there’s no relief in the foreseeable future.” Over the next two years the government’s proposed infrastructure spending for shovel-ready projects is all directed at large urban areas,” she charged. “Small rural communities don’t have social and/or green infrastructure, or transit. What we do have is a huge problem that we can’t tax our way out of.” Gallant thanked the municipalities representatives and Whitewater Region Mayor Hal Johnson for hosting the session, noting Renfrew County council shouldn’t be the only body to provide input. “In many municipalities, the head of council does not attend County council. “I felt it was important to bring this group together, including the Mayor of Pembroke, as Pembroke is not a member of County Council. We share many of the same challenges and we can share the same solutions,” she said. “Municipalities own over 60 per cent of public infrastructure. They need predictable, long-term funding to meet the needs of their ratepayers.

Province seeks input as it tries to stop death of bees Ontario is seeking out public input in its efforts to stem the rising death rates of bees and other pollinators. In a news release last week, the province points out that pollinators, including honey bees, are essential to Ontario’s agricultural sector and contribute about $992 million worth of activity annually to the economy. The province maintains it became the first jurisdiction in North America to protect bees and other pollinators through new rules introduced on July 1, 2015 that will reduce the number of acres planted
with neonicotinoid-treated corn and soybean seeds by 80 per cent by 2017. Now, Ontario is looking for the public’s feedback on a proposed plan to improve pollinator health that will address: • habitat and nutrition; • diseases, pests and genetics; • climate change and weather; • pesticide exposure. The proposed plan will be posted on the provincial Environmental Registry until March 7. Additionally, the public can also provide input on protecting pollinator health
Pesticide control ‘lacking’ in Canada
by completing a public survey. Ontario is home to more than 400 bee species, which are the most common pollinators. Honey bees and some bumble bees are bred specifically for pollinating plants for food. A foraging honey bee will travel up to 3 kilometres from the colony (and up to 10 kilometres if food is scarce). “Pollinators are critical to Ontario’s agri-food sector and our society as a whole,” said Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Minister Jeff Leal. “While, Ontario farmers are

Hybrids display mixed traits of both parents, but the Pakenham bird showed only pure Bullock’s traits. So did the DNA lie? No, but the author of the analysis applied a very narrow interpretation (saying it was a Baltimore), while many other, perhaps more valid interpretations (such it was a Bullock’s Oriole with a very distant Baltimore connection) were ignored. The classical definition for a species is a distinct population of reproductively isolated animals, a criterion that was created to allow humans to classify life forms. However, it is the visual appearance of the organisms (their phenotype) that is instrumental in assigning species designations. Thousands of birds housed in museum collections were identified solely by their appearance, not their mitochondrial DNA, and when birders identify wild birds, it is primarily their visual appearance that provides the necessary information. The recent conclusion about the oriole’s identity, while perhaps not completely wrong, was at best premature and misleading.

Tournament, dance planned for 25th anniversary of wrestling club Sherry Haaima
Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
The Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club, which has had many Arnprior area members over the years, is on the cusp of a special anniversary. Plans are in the works for a tournament and dance that will reunite many of those involved with the successful area club. To celebrate 25 years since its inception, the club will host the Norm Bujold Rumble on Saturday, Feb. 13, followed by a banquet and
dance that will offer the opportunity to trade stories, share memories and reminisce with the many athletes, coaches, parents and other club supporters who have contributed to the success of the organization. It was 1985 when RAWC cofounder Grant Lavallee and teacher Jim McGregor got a wrestling program up and running at Central Public School in Renfrew. “We used to take busloads of kids to Brampton,” said Lavallee. “We’d sleep on the mats and oh – the noise. Jim McGregor could

Our first fundraiser was held at the old Butson’s.” Bujold recalled there were two local wrestlers going to national championships the year the club was created. “We needed $1,300 to bring them, so a bunch of us got together for that fundraiser and by the time it was over we had $7,600. We put that in the bank and decided we should start the club,” he said. A large part of what the club’s done over the years is outfit local schools with mats.
sleep through anything. I was awake all night.” In 1991, Roy Ellis, who had a son wrestling at high school, suggested the club be formed and after the group was named, Norm Bujold became the first president of the club, which attracted wrestlers from Arnprior, Renfrew and area. “We had some older wrestlers and some parents. Rick Klinowski, the old wrestling coach, was part of the board,” said Lavallee. “We started from there with a shoestring budget and we did some fundraising.

“The schools we were practicing in didn’t have any good mats,” said Lavallee. “We’ve done a bunch of fundraising.” In some cases, RAWC partnered with other groups, including the gymnastics club, to purchase mats. “Through the years, we’ve purchased a mat for every school in Renfrew and surrounding area,” he said. With proper mats costing anywhere from $8-10,000, that’s a pretty impressive accomplishment. SEE RAWC, page 17

The wrestling club practices at Renfrew Collegiate Institute. Practices are held 6-8 p.m., MondayThursday, along with Tuesday and Thursday practices for youth at the RCAF Wing in Renfrew. An Arnprior offshoot coached by Kevin Mayhew meets at the Kenwood Centre and there is a Pembroke group that came together last year. What is it about wrestling that appeals to so many local athletes and coaches?
“It’s a number of things,” said Lavalee. “The main part is just the camaraderie. In team sports, you compete and you leave. In an individual sport, you’re all there and when you’re not competing, you’re rubbing shoulders and chatting.” Wrestlers make connections not only with their teammates but their competitors, as well. “Most of the kids will say ‘I’ve got friends across Canada,” he said.

Community leader honoured at Frost Festival As part of the second weekend of the annual Pakenham Frost Festival, community leader Charles A.W. Gillan was celebrated for his efforts in the area. He was chosen to help drop the puck in an official ceremony Jan. 29 at the Stewart Community Centre, prior to the start of the Arnprior Packers and Ottawa West Golden Knights hockey game. Gillan served as a Private in the Canadian Infantry in the Second World War and has tested out a variety of careers in his lifetime, including real estate agent, photographer, business owner and woodworker. He served as a councillor/reeve with Pakenham Township for 19 years and was also Lanark County warden. He was involved in many different clubs/groups in the community, such as the Sandpoint Golf Club, Pakenham Curling Club and broomball. He was perhaps most instrumental in helping save Pakenham Public School and serving on the Almonte General Hospital board and played a key role in the building of Fairview Manor. Gillan, second from left, is surrounded by his family as his son Jeffrey, third from left, drops the puck between Ottawa West Golden Knights’ Matt Connolly, left, and Arnprior Packers’ Cameron Cornwall to start the game.

Packers sit fifth in division after two wins and a loss last week Tiffany Lepack
tlepack@metroland.com
It’s crunch time for teams in the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 as the playoffs are just around the corner. The Arnprior Packers only have five games remaining and are currently in fifth place in the Richardson Division. . The team has a record of 21-17 for 43 points after winning two games and dropping one last week. On Tuesday, Jan. 26 the Packers started things off with a big win, defeating the Ottawa Canadians in their barn 6-4. The Packers had a strong first period turning the red light on three times with goals by Liam Poirier, Dallas Farr and Mitchell Sennett. The Canadians answered with two goals in the opening
frame. They didn’t stop and came out strong with two more in the second. The Packers answered with one by Dan Monk to stay even. It was all Arnprior in the third with a second goal by Poirier and an empty-netter by Bailey Hein. Matt Dods got the win in net with 32 saves. Poirier was first star and Hein was second star. The power-house Casselman Vikings easily defeated the Packers on Thursday, Jan. 28 by a score of 8-3. The Vikings started things off with two goals in the first and an explosive second period where they scored five unanswered goals. The Packers tried to get back into it late in the frame with goals by Dean Galasso and Sennett. Poirier added one more in the third period but it wasn’t
enough to start a comeback. Dods made 32 saves in the loss. Frost Fest fans in Pakenham were not disappointed on Friday night, as the Packers came out victorious over the Ottawa West Golden Knights in a 4-3 thriller. The visitors got on the score sheet first with two goals in the first stanza, but the Packers answered back in the second period with goals by Jacob Steege and Poirier. It was all Arnprior in the third with goals by Galasso and Farr. The three stars were all Packers, Dods, with 23 saves between the pipes, Farr and Galasso. The Packers are home this weekend with two games as the host the Renfrew Timberwolves this Friday, Feb. 5 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, Feb. 7 against the Westport Rideaus starting at 2:30 p.m.

Soccer club announces several changes for new season, teams to begin playing Lanark squads There may be snow on the ground, but the Arnprior-McNab-Braeside United Soccer Club is already four months into its 2016 soccer season. When all the teams are done league play in September, the club starts looking at the following year. The year 2015 was an extremely busy one for the local soccer club. Many noticed that it had a dedicated trainer from England spend eight weeks living within the community and working alongside the club’s head coach on soccer programs for house league athletes. With his help, the club organized two weeks of soccer camp for 80 participants, and established an academy program on weekends to further enhance the skills of many players. Coaching was also a priority. In the spring the club hosted two Ontario Soccer Association coaching certification sessions for 15 coaches. These hard working individuals are now certified to coach level 1 and 2 athletes. CLUB GROWING
The club will continue to train more coaches by promoting Ontario Soccer
Association clinics for established and new coaches. As the kids progress from year to year, so will the coaches. The club’s plan for House League this year is to extend the season for its mini soccer players (ages 4 to 10). Normally they would start in late May and end in July. To better align with the training program, the club now plans to start training in May and games will start the first week of June and finish the middle of August. The biggest shift is the transition for the U10, U12 and U14 teams. This lucky group will now play in the Goulbourn-Lanark Soccer League (GLSL). This league operates to the immediate east and south of Arnprior and consists of clubs from West Carleton, Almonte, Carleton Place, Perth and Smith Falls. “We have heard over the years about the amount of driving up the Valley. This change will reduce our traveling time to an average of 20 to 30 minutes. Playing in this larger league will expose our players to a number of different teams, venues and coaching styles.” The club’s board presently sits at 15.
That’s 15 people to run the club consisting of about 600 players – this is a large amount of responsibility for this small base of volunteers. As shown in the past, officials need everyone to help build the club. When you register your child for soccer this year, the board asks that “you please put your name down to help.” You can volunteer for one or more of the following positions: coach, assistant coach, team manager, league convenor, referee, team helper, fundraising committee, tournament committee. “We are eagerly waiting for our season to start, and for these changes to most benefit the youth of Arnprior and McNab, we need your help.” The club encourages people to look for soccer announcements through the schools and the newspapers regarding registration. This year it will be done through the website (www.ambusc.ca).Starting Feb. 15, the club will be accepting online payments. “Not only does this help the environment (save on paper), but it also ensures a quick and easy enrollment process.”

Arnprior to welcome family from Syria in coming weeks Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Of the 25,000 Syrian refugees bound for Canada, five will call Arnprior home. Elaine Lowe of Project Arnprior Welcome made the announcement to an enthusiastic crowd of some 100 at the Christian Education Centre on Jan. 28. The family comprised of two adults, two girls aged 9and 11, and a boy, 2, should arrive in town before the end of February. “I’m excited and a little bit terrified getting everything done,” Lowe said following the event, called A Taste of Syria. “It’s all new; everything ahead of us. But we have a lot of great people in Project Arnprior Welcome.” The group includes community members and various churches in town. Since forming in October, it has raised $21,000 of $27,000 to bring two families over. They acknowledge the challenges - translation, transportation, affordable housing, jobs, schooling and ESL, medical facilities, and employment – but are finding solutions. The evening was a chance to learn more about Syrian culture including food, books, and a slideshow presentation by an Arabic man who calls Deep River home.
DEREK DUNN/METROLAND
Gathered together after the Taste of Syria event at the Christian Education Centre in Arnprior on Jan. 28, from left, are Sobhaw and Tasneem Chowdhury, Cathy McCaig, Ahmed Khalifa, Elaine Lowe, and Hazen Mazhar. Ahmed Khalifa showed photos of a modern, civil Syria before civil war erupted. Then showed it today. On the left side of a slide was Saint
Mary’s Church, built in 50 AD. On the right was the same building in ruins. “The bombs don’t differenti-
ate,” Khalifa said, clicking to the next slide. “Here is a refugee camp. They are in tents 24/7 in the snow. We camp here for three or four
days, a week, then go home and say that’s nice. They can’t leave.” He talked about traditions and cultural practices that the family will bring to Arnprior. Family is first; children respect their elders all the way down to how they sit up straight. Parents take on the name of their first born, such as The Father of X. The elderly are highly respected. An elderly father’s hand will be kissed. There are few nursing homes. Many women dress modestly to gain respect and protection. In many Arab countries, such as Khalifa’s home of Egypt, women hold high levels of office. He said disrespecting women is a cultural practice, not a religious one. Muslims pray five times a day, totalling less than 20 minutes. The Arabic language comes from Syria, like English is from England. Many laughed when he said Egyptians speak a variation comparable to Texas English. Shaking hands is a favoured greeting, but not as common between men and women. Hugging occurs between those of the same gender, and it occurs more often then in Canada. Lebanese men are likely to kiss one another three times on the cheeks. See SYRIAN, page 24
‘Syrian people are hard-working people’: Fouor Continued from page 23
Holidays include Christmas and New Year’s, but also a feast following a month-long fast and a sacrificial feast to commemorate the story of Abraham and Isaac. George Fouor stood at this point during the presentation to dispel any myths that Syrians will take advantage of Canada’s generosity. The pizza shop owner who is originally from Lebanon said they would feel too much shame in accepting welfare. “Syrian people are hardworking people. You will be telling them, ‘Please, slow down,’” he said, to more laughter. “They are good people; just they’ve been butchered. They’d love to go back to their homes, but there is no sight to the end of the war.” He invited anyone with questions to approach him at any time.
“You will love them all and they will always be appreciative,” Fouor concluded. Khalifa agreed, saying, “They are just trying to escape horror and start a new life.” He talked of how Muslims refrain from eating pork or drinking alcohol, and how it is a disappointment to turn down the offer of food when a guest in their home. Other aspects are familiar to westerners. The mother who pesters for a grandchild; the insistence on paying the restaurant bill; the polite refusal of a bus seat. Khalifa said they will politely decline three times, even if they intended on accepting it the first time. A questioner from the crowd asked what assurances Canadians can have that fighting between warring factions in the Middle East won’t break out once in Canada. Khalifa said it is a good ques-
tion, and that “these families are fleeing war. They last thing on their minds is continuing war. They are fed up with war. They are fed up with bloodshed.” He said it is possible that some won’t be close friends with one another, but when they see how peaceful and diverse Canada is they will learn to accept. CHURCH ROLE
Cathy McCaig of Emmanuel Anglican Church and Andrew Love of Grace St. Andrew’s United Church attended the meeting. They recalled how the “ministerials” – the group representing a dozen area churches – became involved. Mayor David Reid approached them to ask if they would do something. Love has experience in sponsorship agreements and helped bring
refugees to Ottawa South in the past. “This is a little bit different in that this is a community-driven initiative with the churches supporting it,” Love said. “There is a need to do something on a pure humanitarian level.” McCaig said there are 59.5 million people around the world displaced. Arnprior is attempting to help one. “It really is overwhelming,” she said. Asked what Jesus would make of the evening, she chuckled and said: “He always called us to do more. He’d say, ‘How come we’re not bringing more?’” Love agreed, but said Jesus would be impressed. Khalifa recalled a story of refugees who were so overwhelmed by the generousity of Canadians that they had to ask: Are these angels? No, Khalifa, said. They are Angli-
cans. They are Christians. TOONIE JARS
Project Arnprior Welcome (PAW) continues its work to bring a Syrian Refugee family to town. They need the public’s help to raise an additional $6,000 to make it happen. Other communities around the Ottawa Valley have raised enough funds to bring families to resettle in their communities. While many people from Arnprior and district have been generous in donating money, they now can help fill up Toonie jars to be located in various businesses around town during February. If you would like a jar in your place of business, please call Sheilagh Poole at 623-5816. For more information log onto www.projectarnpriorwelcome.ca.

White Pine Festival, car show moving to ABBA ball diamonds Arnprior’s White Pine Festival will have a new date and home this summer. The annual celebration, including the car show, will be held Aug. 26 to 28 at the ABBA ball diamonds because of downtown revitalization construction. Main organizers Mike Marcil, Tracy Smith, Glenn Arthur and Art Smith report that the festival will be loaded onto the Giant Tiger Train and moved from the downtown area across the bridge to the new location With all the downtown construction starting early this spring and not ending until the fall of 2017, the festival had to be relocated, they say. They expect the new home off McNab and McLean streets will be a “great” location for the festival for many years to come. They note it is “very easy to find”: turn left or right off Madawaska Boulevard onto McNab Street between Rona and Scheel Windows and straight down to McLean Street. “We will be blessed with tons of room for the coming years. As we proceed, the festival will have no problem tripling (in) future years with all of the entertainment for thousands of visitors.” They organizers point out there are hundreds of parking spaces on site that makes it easy for people to attend.
As well, the car show has space for hundreds of new and old vehicles on the Saturday with another vehicle show on Sunday. Having the festival on the last weekend in August brings back the two-week separation with the Arnprior Fair, which is being held Aug. 11-14. “We will be starting immediately to get in touch with all concerned parties to help us fill the festival and car show with a bit of everything for every one’s enjoyment,” say the organizers. “We have some great local people helping us with everything, but if anyone would like to become involved, here is your chance to help make a difference in your community. “We will be holding an open meeting in the next few weeks. Also, another announcement with a lot of the programs, etc. will be out shortly.’ The organizers say they are proud to announce the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide newspaper will be an official sponsor for 2016 and “hopefully for years to come.” If anyone has any questions or something to offer the festival, please contact Marcil at Giant Tiger, Arthur at the Nick Smith Centre or the Smiths at info@arnpriorwhitepinefestival.ca. “See you at the Arnprior White Pine Festival for 2016.”

A seniors’ forum will be held in Pakenham this Sunday, Feb. 7. The Mills Community Support Group is inviting all Pakenham area seniors to Pakenham Public School from 12:30 to 4 p.m. to join in a free lunch and conversation “about what makes Pakenham a wonderful place to live.” The discussion will also revolve around what supports are needed for people to remain in the area and be a vital part of their community. It will be the first of three community forums this winter hosted by the support group and several local partners at the Pakenham school. A full community forum will be held Tuesday, March 8 at 7 p.m. to expand on what was discussed at the seniors forum. It will be followed up by a community pot-luck dinner on Thursday, March 31 at 6 p.m. where a report based on the information collected from the previous two forums will be given.For more information, contact Brenda Hurrle at 613-624-5600 or bh@myhighspeed.ca.

A top Toronto grunge band will play in downtown Arnprior this Friday, Feb. 5. Stuck on Planet Earth, which played Riot Fest this past September, will be the headliner at a show at the John St. Pub. Joining them for their weekend tour, which also has stops in Cornwall and Brockville, are another Toronto band, The Lad Classic. Ottawa band, Suns of Stonem will be the third band playing at the John St. Pub Friday. Stuck on Planet Earth delivers grunge heavy tracks that are “endlessly tangled in late night lust and the secretly seedy side of suburbia,” says a Music City North news release. The Lad Classic are an “intricate, explosive punch of rock with a modern twist that rests on the foundation of the classic rock influences that came before them.”

Mary’s prayer answered with Uncle Lou’s generous gift Well it can’t get much worse, Mother said, as she put a fresh bandage on Emerson’s wrist where he had slashed it with his pocket knife when he was making a new sling shot. It had been a bad week. All our heads had to have the coal oil treatment after Miss Crosby found someone had head lice at the Northcote School, a fox had made off with a couple of our best hens in broad daylight, Earl lost a gum rubber in the Bonnechere River when he was ice fishing, he was getting a cold, and this was the week my cherished sister Audrey would be getting ready to leave the Northcote School to do housework in Renfrew. “It never rains but it pours,” Mother said with a heavy sigh. None of the misfortunes compared with the grief I felt over Audrey going off to work to live away from our family on the farm, leaving school before she even had a chance to finish the Entrance Class. Yes, a bad week indeed. The Depression had closed in on us. There were bills to pay. Always there was enough food for the table, but no money for other essentials like coal oil, flour, sugar, a piece of harness that had to be replaced, cough medicine and other necessities, causing Mother and Father to run up bills at ‘Briscoes’, and the drug and hardware stores.
The few dollars Father and Mary Cook’s Everett made in Memories the bush on SatMARY COOK urdays did little to help. In my anguish over losing my sister, I had even untied the corner of my hanky from my washstand to add a few pennies to the pot, but I could only come up with 17 cents. What Audrey earned and turned over to Mother and Father would be what Mother called a lifesaver. Audrey’s clothes, and a scant wardrobe it was indeed, had been washed and ironed, and sat in neat piles on the trunk in the upstairs hall. Her shoes had been polished. She would be ready to go off in a week. None of my prayers seemed to be working. Just after breakfast that morning the phone rang. Mother was well known for her sticky buns and someone wanted to know if she could make a few dozen for a dinner the Oddfellows were holding. And yes, they would be glad to pay whatever she was asking, and could she have them in to Renfrew by Saturday? If she made four dozen buns that would mean an extra two dollars! Two dollars badly needed. Our good fortune wasn’t to end there. Ev-
erett came home from school with a ‘cheque’ from the School Board for three dollars, his pay for going to the school every morning in the winter to start the fire and clean out the ashes. Without a word, he handed the cheque over to Mother. It still wasn’t enough to cover the bills, but it was a help. After supper, more preparations were made for Audrey’s move into Renfrew; lisle stockings mended, new elastic put in her underwear. I sat well away, silently crying behind my library book, pretending to read. The week was going far too quickly to suit me. The next day, coming home from school, I plucked the mail out of the box at the end of our long lane. There were two letters, and I recognized the writing immediately. One was from Uncle Lou in New York, who wrote Mother regularly, and one from Aunt Freda in Chicago, who wrote only when she had something important to say. Mother sat at the end of the table looking like she was glad to take a break from working away at getting Audrey ready for her big move from home. She opened Uncle Lou’s letter first, and out fell a $100 bill! I had never seen a $100 bill in my entire life. Uncle Lou, in his letter, said he had just landed the job of do-

ing some work on the Empire State Building and wanted to share his good fortune with his sister. Mother, of course, broke into tears and I felt obliged to do the same. With little interest, Mother got around to opening Aunt Freda’s letter and inside, right before our eyes, was a crisp $5 bill, with instructions that Mother was to go to Ritza’s Drug Store and buy a packet of valentines for the children to take to the Northcote School. I knew it would never see Ritza’s Drug Store. I was sent to the barn to fetch Father. By the time he came into the kitchen, Mother had all the money laid out in a row on the table. I had no idea why we were all crying when there was so much joy in the air! Finally Mother told Audrey to go upstairs and put her clothes back in her washstand, and said she would be phoning Renfrew that night to tell them my sister would not be quitting school after all. I ran my hand over the money on the table. “It never rains but it pours, eh, Mother?” was all I could think to say. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

In partnership with
Braeside to embrace winter with carnival Saturday Full day of inside, outside fun events planned for Feb. 6 at the R.A. Centre, rink
Staff
The Goshen groundhog saw his shadow Tuesday, so what better way to get started on the six more weeks of winter than to celebrate at the Braeside Carnival this Saturday, Feb. 6. The carnival, held at the Braeside R.A. Centre, has expanded this year with some new free family events added to some old favourites. The All-You-Can-Eat Shanty Breakfast is back from 8 to 11 a.m. with the cost being a charitable donation. As well as offering good old McNab-Braeside breakfast fare, the meal will be enlivened by movies, kids crafts, a trivia contest and several information displays. At 10:30 a.m. the entries to the traditional men’s cake-baking contest will be judged. Once the winners are crowned, the cakes will be auctioned off for charity. There will be a free kids show upstairs in the R.A. Centre at 11 a.m. with the singing Balloonist, while outside the free hay wagon rides begin. $100 SHOOT-OUT
At noon, there will be the muchanticipated McEwen Homes’ $100 open shoot-out contest and the Chuck-a-Puck competition on the rink. During the noon hour there will be a number of kids activities with plenty of prizes.
Throughout the day there will be carnival candy and free face-painting for the youngsters. At 12:30 p.m. the lumberjacking skills contest begins as well as Timbits hockey. In the upstairs hall, a euchre tournament, expected to be hotly contested as usual, will begin in the upstairs hall ($3 a person). The afternoon activities include a Father and Son pond hockey challenge at 2 p.m. and free public skating at 3 p.m., when all the carnival contest winners will be announced. Helping McNab-Braeside Recreation sponsor the event will be the Arnprior Legion, Robbin’s Confectionary and the McNab-Braeside Firefighters Association.

Knights uprising not in the cards Youths! Adults! Seniors! Earn Extra Money! last Friday, 98 players on deck The second Arnprior Knights-Legion euchre challenge of six was held at the St. John Chrysostom parish hall on the evening of Jan. 29 with a record 98 players attending. Readers with squeamish stomach should stop reading at this point. The Knights were in a foul mood after taking a thumping in the first challenge (down by 31 games). Led by Dave Schefter\Mike Glofcheski with a record of 7 wins 8 points and ‘Deacon’ Mike Lund\ Chris Coady, the Knights appeared to be on the verge of taking control of the challenge. But, alas, led by the Legion team of Peggy Barsoski and Keith Burns (8 wins 9 points), the Legion made short work of the uprising and completed the comeback by tacking on another 11 wins, bringing the total to 42.
Knights who fell on their respective swords (skunked) included Kerri Hellman\ Holly Schroeder, Chuck\Jill Sheffield, Dan\ Marion Nicholas and Gerald Stanton\Barkley O’Rourke. Two Knight teams, let’s call them Bob\ Nancy and Jeff\Christine, were heard to say their bodies had taken enough of a beating and are heading south to meet with some sort of ‘Guru’ to rejuvenate their card skills. The third challenge is scheduled for Feb. 12 at the Legion. Registration is at 6:30 p.m. with the challenge starting at 7. Tired of winter, need a laugh, meet some new people; why not join us for an evening of cards. Cost is $3 per person. See you there.

GIBSON, Jack – In loving memory of our devoted Husband, Dad and Grandpa Jack, who passed away February 10, 2002. The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you, We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day. But missing you is a heart ache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same. In our hearts forever, Donna, Tammy, Kevin, Teisha, Greg, Mary and Ted

The Blow was great, the shock severe, We little thought the end was near, And only those who have lost can tell The pain of parting without farewell. More each day we miss you, father, Friends may think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow That lies within our hearts concealed.

PRAYERS NOVENA TO St. Jude. O Holy St. Jude, Apostle and martyr, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need, to you I have recourse from the bottom of my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given great power to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In return, I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. Say 3 Our Fathers, 3 Hail Marys and 3 Glorys. Publication must be promised. St Jude, pray for us all who invoke your aid. Amen. This novena has never been known to fail. MNB

Treasured thoughts of one so dear, Often brings a silent tear, Thoughts of scenes long past, Years roll on but memories last.
PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN (never known to fail) Oh Most Beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me here you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to secure me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have a recourse to thee (three times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish it and it will be granted to you. K.T.L.
No distance can divide, For always in memories garden. You are present by our side. Love always Vera and Family

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A burst of optimism has you moving toward a new goal, Aries. This positive frame of mind can propel you to the finish line quickly, but make each decision carefully. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, new revelations may inspire you to make some long-desired changes. Write down all of your plans so you can see them on paper and weigh all of your priorities. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 An old friend you haven’t seen in a while may suddenly reappear in your life, Gemini. This person may take you on a fun trip down memory lane. Enjoy the laughs. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Expect a change of circumstances at work, Cancer. This change may come by way of a transfer or a promotion, or it might be something less significant. Embrace it in any case. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 A close friend of yours may suggest a last-minute trip, and you just may be game for an adventure, Leo. Pack all of your essentials and do not think too much, or you might back out. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a financial windfall may seem like a great thing on the surface, but it doesn’t come without a price. Resolve to be responsible with your newfound largesse.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you might feel nervous at the prospect of a big change at your job, but you are totally ready for the change and some new responsibilities. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, some recent nerves and stress may come to an end this week. You feel focused right now and have your eye on the prize, and relief is on the way. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, expect some welcome developments in your romantic life. This may be the week you meet someone new. If you’re involved, expect your romantic energy to grow. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you’re ready to spread your ideas and plans to others, but the public just may not be open to what you have to share at this time. Don’t force the issue at present; give it a few days. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Sacrifices will be well worth the effort this week, Aquarius. Keep in mind that these sacrifices are temporary and not that disruptive. The reward awaits. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, success at work paints you in a new light with your colleagues. You may finally receive the recognition you deserve. 0204
