Township council cuts tax hike to 4% Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Township council will have wrestled down some of the tax increase McNab-Braeside residents faced when the final draft of the budget is tabled on Feb. 17. The levy increase is expected to come in at about 4

per cent, following a number of cuts to staff’s draft budget. It had pegged the hike at 5.3 per cent. When the county’s tax increase is set in March, and the education portion is determined, residents will have the final tally – likely by April. Last year’s tax increase was 13.57 per cent.

Mayor Tom Peckett blamed OPP costs for a big chunk of the increase. But also added that many buildings and equipment need repairing or replacing in the coming years. A one per cent increase means a little over $37,000 is added to the $6-million coffers. See next week’s Chronicle-Guide for more details.

Arnprior council began analysis of the town’s 2015 budget during the regular council meeting on Monday, the first of four straight sessions on the topic. The focus was on items such as taxation, corporate and environment services, and public works. The figures were considered unofficial as Arnprior is not expected to approve the final budget until the meeting today (Thursday) at a special 5 p.m. meeting. The number-crunching was scheduled to continue on Tuesday and Wednesday. The only other major item addressed at Monday’s council meeting was the passing of the resolution concerning the Energy East Pipeline. TransCanada had announced the oil pipeline project, which would stretch 4,500 km and carry up to 1.1 million

barrels of crude oil a day from Alberta to refineries in Eastern Canada. The major aspect to the Energy East pipeline project is the conversion of a natural pipeline that goes under several local rivers, including the Madawaska upstream from Arnprior. Council unanimously passed a motion saying it is too early to provide any substantive comments, until TransCanada can show the project will “meet the highest available technical standards when it comes to public safety and environmental protection and will implement, without reservation, cutting-edge contingency planning and emergency response programs. The resolution will be submitted to the Prime Minister, National Energy Board and other government officials. The council will also direct staff to apply for commentator status to the National Energy Board when it deliberates on the Energy East project.

Doug Scheels: died last Friday at age 88

Arnprior is mourning the death of its unofficial town historian. Doug Scheels died on Friday, Feb. 6 in Arnprior District Memorial Hospital at the age of 88 after a short illness. A life-long resident of Arnprior, he was known for his love of his community and his knowledge about the area’s history. The number of people attending his wake and funeral Monday and Tuesday was a testament to the many friends he had made during his life. Among those praising his dedication to Arnprior and Renfrew County were politicians from every level, including MPP John Yakabuski, former MP Hec Clouthier and former Renfrew mayor Sandi Heins, as well as several from Arnprior. Scheels was frequently in touch with a variety of politicians, promoting a variety of causes involving Arnprior.

He also wrote many letters to the editor, contributing to the discourse in the community. Many of the letters were enlightening about the area’s history. He worked for Ontario Hydro for more than 40 years. He also coached hockey and served as a member of several Town of Arnprior committees. He was also involved in various community campaigns, the most notable being the successful drive to save Gillies Grove. He was named the town’s senior citizen of the year in 2012. In making the announcement, the town noted that “Doug is a wealth of knowledge and knows the history like no one else. He’s always willing to share his opinions and knowledge with others.� Scheels is survived by his wife Helen and children Lynn and Glenn. His funeral service was held at the Boyce Chapel on Tuesday.

Opening snowmobile gate irks resident Derek Dunn derek.dunn@Metroland.com

It should have been as simple as flinging a gate open to welcome snowmobilers. But at a recent McNab-Braeside township meeting, council learned there is more to it. In January council agreed to open a stretch of the former CN Trail to snowmobilers. At the time, Coun. Mark MacKenzie asked why it was locked in the first place. He didn’t get an answer. So it was agreed to open the trail between Campbell and Duncan drives. The problem is that the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) groomed, not just that portion of the trail, but beyond Duncan to Moore Street – in a populated neighbourhood. Joanne Logan spoke to

council at the Feb. 3 meeting and was less than impressed. “I was a little dismayed on Jan. 26 when these gates came down,� said Logan. “I knew if that opened up, it will lead right into the trail through the neighbourhood. It’s groomed wide as a road and children are playing right on the trail.� She said newer snowmobiles are so quiet she and a friend didn’t hear one coming up behind them until a few seconds before it passed. Safety aside, Logan was upset at finding out about the change on the ChronicleGuide’s Facebook page. “To just open it up without coming to the community, without presenting this and getting feedback?� She insists the trail was well used before, but that the groomer packs the snow so hard it is useless to skiers and

snowshoers, let alone kids who would sled on it. And with OFSC signs claiming to maintain the trail, it leaves the impression that only snowmobiles are allowed, she added. “So we have nowhere to walk that’s not without motors. The roads are for cars. We have no sidewalks. On Saturdays there is a parade of snowmobilers on the trail.� Mayor Tom Peckett said council was clear at the time: snowmobiles were to be allowed from Campbell to Duncan. “The federation of snowmobilers jumped the gun and did that without authority. From Campbell to Duncan only; that’s the way council voted to proceed,� Peckett said. “The last thing I want is having snowmobiles going through a neighbourhood like that.�

Logan insisted it is “natural� for snowmobilers to believe they now have the right to cross through a neighbourhood to connect to the trail on the other side. The township was to contact the snowmobile club to take down its signs on the north side of Duncan Drive. They will also be consulted on the safest barrier to erect. Orange plastic fencing could be used. “If someone hits it they won’t get hurt,� Peckett said. “They’re not supposed to be there anyway, but safety for everyone is the upmost imperative for all.�

Council throws cold water on splashpad idea

TOWNSHIP OF McNAB/BRAESIDE NOTICE OF APPLICATIONS AND PUBLIC MEETING In the matter of Sections 17, 22 and 34 of the Planning Act, the Township of McNab/Braeside hereby gives NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING:

Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@Metroland.com

i) Applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law 2010-49 of the Township of McNab/Braeside. ii) A public meeting regarding applications for amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law 2010-49 of the Township of McNab/Braeside.

Public Meeting

Proposed Official Plan The purpose and effect of the proposed Official Plan amendment is three-fold. First, OPA 7 proposes to amend the policies of the Highway Commercial/Light Industrial Designation and the Industrial designation to prohibit residential uses. Second, it proposes to redesignate the entire property located at 414 Russett Drive, from Industrial to Rural to recognize an existing single detached dwelling. Third, it proposes to redesignate approximately 0.58 hectares of a 12.52 hectare property on Russett Drive, to permit a proposed single detached dwelling. All other provisions of the Zoning By-law shall apply. Additional information regarding the Official Plan amendment is available for inspection at the Township of McNab/Braeside municipal office during regular office hours. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of McNab/Braeside before the proposed Official Plan amendment is adopted by the Township, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the County of Renfrew (approval authority), to the Ontario Municipal Board.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Township of McNab/Braeside before the proposed Official Plan amendment is adopted by the Township, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or the public body as a party.

CP meets with counties to discuss future trail Representatives of Renfrew and Lanark counties and the Township of Papineau-Cameron have met with Canadian Pacific Railway officials to discuss acquisition of the 302-kilometre abandoned rail corridor from Smiths Falls to Mattawa. CP Rail advised the municipal officials that railway track materials – rails, tie plates, spikes, ties, gates and signals – have been cleared from Sturgess Road in Smiths Falls through Renfrew and on to Meath Hill.

The remainder to Mattawa is still considered a construction site, which will be cleared by the end of 2015. The municipal partners asked CP Rail about trail maintenance, such as trimming weeds, cutting grass, etc. on the corridor. CP Rail responded that this may encourage people to trespass and leave the railway open to lawsuits. The land remains private property and was posted in several locations last fall with no trespass signs supported by earth barricades.

PLEASE JOIN US FEBRUARY 25, 2015 FOR THE...

He was in favour of the public works department building the $6,000 parking lot because it will be used by a horseshoe club. Members currently park on the grass. Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden said the money is better spent elsewhere. “We need to fix what we have before we start adding on,” Armsden said.

Madawaska Shores, an Ottawa-based company, recently prepared a powerpoint presentation for McNab-Braeside council. It included a map detailing the location of proposed RV and tent sites, along with a pavilion, recreational facilities and additional parking. Council heard that no money is expected from the township, and that a to-be-negociated percentage of profit will be returned to the municipality. The project could move ahead as soon as this June, according to proponent Bob Wachna.

OPINION

Connected to your community

EDITORIAL

Farewell to a good citizen Even crusty journalists had a soft spot for Doug Scheels. So did politicians of dramatically divergent views despite’s Doug’s conservative bent. You might not always have agreed with him, but his commitment and dedication to his community was unquestioned. Arnprior’s unofficial town historian died last Friday after 89 years well lived. The town was certainly better for him being a citizen here. Not many people know what makes Arnprior and area tick better than former ChronicleGuide editor and current Valley Heritage Radio manager Jason Marshall. So his heartfelt letter below explaining so well why his friend Doug Scheels meant so much to the area sums up the feelings of many when hearing that he had died. As Marshall points out, Scheels was the epitome of a good citizen – involved, informed, positive, proactive.

He was actively involved in many campaigns aimed at bettering his home town. He had a great respect for the area’s history and was a firm believer in protecting our heritage. He wasn’t shy about lobbying politicians of all stripes and positions for Arnprior causes close to his heart. He wasn’t afraid to speak up to those in authority if he felt they were going down the wrong path. Newspaper editors, town councillors, MPPs, MPs, Cabinet members, even a prime minister all heard well-researched passionate arguments on a variety of subjects. In these days when so many residents are too busy to be truly involved in their community, Scheels was a throwback to a simpler time. But he showed us all that individuals can make a difference. It’s a lesson a grateful community should take to heart. Thanks Doug.

LETTER

Arnprior’s ambassador was the epitome of a community person To the editor: It was with great sadness and a heavy heart that I recently read about the passing of Doug Scheels. I first met Doug when I was a young reporter with the Chronicle-Guide in the late 1980s, and through the years I can proudly say we became friends. I first noticed him at council meetings I covered for the paper. And public meetings. And during election campaigns. And always on election night. I also wrote stories about the Save the Grove campaign many years ago, where Doug was once again front and centre. I saw him at Packers games. And chatted with him

while I was covering the Redmen. He was at ribbon cuttings. I ran into him at Renfrew County council meetings in Pembroke. It seemed like he was everywhere. And when I didn’t see him, I heard from him. A pop-in to the newspaper office. Or more often than not, a phone call early on a Sunday morning before church to talk about the week that was in Arnprior. And I mean early. Was he a politician? Was he a reporter? Neither. He was an Arnprior boy who was the epitome of a community-minded person. The type of guy who makes a small town a special place to

live and raise a family. Doug was a volunteer. And an ambassador for Arnprior. He was a political watchdog. And a man who said what he thought and stood up for what he believed in, no matter how unpopular his opinion. He was a doer. Doug wanted what was best for Arnprior, because that was where he grew up, and where he and his wife Helen raised their family. He wanted others to enjoy the Arnprior he knew and loved. As the local newspaper editor, I often heard from Doug. Many times about issues on the pages of the paper. Sometimes looking for an inside

Street home, to shoot the breeze and pop the top on what was arguably the coldest beer in town I’ll miss sharing a story, and a laugh. And his hometown pride. And do you know who will miss him even more, whether you know it or not? You. The people of Arnprior. Doug helped to shape this town, by not just talking about

things, but by getting his hands dirty. Small towns need people like Doug Scheels, because without them there is no character. And Arnprior has truly lost a piece of its heart and soul, with Doug’s passing. Thoughts and prayers to the Scheels family. Jason Marshall White Lake

In the end, she loved what I did and readers did too. Nancy made me feel a part of the paper with phone calls and plenty of e-mails. I enjoyed working with her and what I learned. I explored reporting farther and landed for a stint at The Equity, another local paper in Shawville. Half my week was as a reporter and the other half, working sales, advertising and being an office clerk. I have spent the last while back at the Journal. My writing experience has grown too. I took an online course about news writing. I have won awards from the Quebec Community Newspapers Association. I also expanded to stories with the Ottawa Senators, been published in the Ottawa Citizen – I was a wedding officiant – and dived into tales for the Municipality of Shawville website. I even interviewed a television actor. I’ve also talked about the Pontiac Juniors on the radio with CHIP FM. I’m on the board of directors for the Shawville Curling Club and a member.

Brown Creepers really aren’t creepy Even smaller than Downy Woodpeckers are the nuthatches. Our two local species - the Whitebreasted and the even smaller Redbreasted - are easily told apart, the colour of the breast an obvious difference (although the “red� is actually pale orange, and White-breasteds actually show a bit of this colour under the tail). As White-breasted Nuthatches also bear a white face while Red-breasteds sport a thick dark line running from the eye to the back of their head, the two really are easy to tell apart. Although their appearances are different, the two nuthatches share one behavioural feature. When working a tree for insects they often do so by climbing down headfirst. Woodpeckers climb up trees with heads up while nuthatches look at bark while upside down; this would seem to cover all angles in which to find insects under bark. But another species uses a very different technique when foraging on trees. Brown Creepers stick tight to the bark as they slowly creep their way up the trunk. But they do so not in a vertical line as do other tree climbers: their ascent involves a spiral route! Although fairly common, these mouse-sized birds are hard to see. Their back - the body part most visible - is mottled brown and white, a pattern that blends in extremely well with bark. And because of the spiral route, they are behind the trunk half of the time they are on a tree. When they reach the top of one tree, they fly down to the base of another White-breasted Nuthatches often look for insects hidden under bark and start their spiral ascent again. By looking sideways at bark, Brown while upside down on trees. Creepers spot insects missed by their

With three different ways of looking for insects under bark, three different types of birds can live in our forests without excessive competition for food.

Find out the threats to this yellow warbler by attending the presentation by Michael Runtz on Thursday, Feb. 19. which features, as do several of Runtz’s books, his own spectacular photographic record of the natural world. A passionate and insightful observer of birds (and many wild creatures) since

childhood, in addition to his work in the Carleton Biology department, Runtz educates and inspires the public to learn about the natural world; for example in his role as co-ordinator of the annual Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count and his longstanding volunteer involvement, currently as president, with the Macnamara Field Naturalists Club. “Rachel Carson was instrumental in preventing deadly insecticides from killing millions of birds,” says Runtz. “But today many other threats exist, some equally as insidious as DDT.

What is the Ontario free family fishing weekend? It is an effort by the provincial government to offer a province-wide opportunity for any Canadian resident to fish in Ontario waters without needing the required license to do so. There are two chances throughout the year. One of these occasions is in the summer from July 4-12. The other is this coming weekend, Feb. 14-16, which also happens to be the family day long weekend. The Arnprior Fish and Game Club in partnership with the Arnprior Volunteer Fire Department is taking advantage of the free fishing/family day weekend by offering this Saturday, Feb. 14 a free derby geared towards youth up to 16 years old. It will take place on Goodwin’s Bay on the Ottawa River

(off the end of McNab Street) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and includes a free lunch barbecue. It is a live release derby and all fish caught will be released. According to fish and game club president James Kucharik, numbers of participants have been strong in the past. The 2013 edition attracted 90 youth, 120 adults and 10 volunteers. “Each kid receives a gift bag,” said Kucharik, noting it includes donated mementos from sponsors. “Last year we had 110 bags, and they were all gone. I’m bumping that up to 130.” The idea of the free fishing weekend event is to entice newcomers and those curious to try the sport of winter angling, but the more experienced are also welcome. “We have people drilling the holes in the ice,” said Kucharik. “There will be mentors willing to help with putting bait on

the hook. We have all the material needed. The important thing is to just dress warmly.” Kucharik estimated there are about 75 to 100 members in the club. They have installed a dock in the area and have plans to raise money for another. Among the sponsors of the derby are Lucky Strike Bait Works, No Frills, Tim Hortons, Metro, Al’s Corner Store, M&M Meats, Ontario Power Generation, and Kids, Cops and Canadian Tire Fishing Days. OTHER DERBIES

There are several other ice fishing derbies planned for the area on the family day weekend, with the Castleford Charity Derby in Horton on Saturday being the most prominent. There are also three ice fishing derbies on Constance Lake in West Carleton Saturday and another one on Buckham’s Bay Sunday.

February is Heart Month Today, heart disease and stroke take one life every 7 minutes and 90% of Canadians have at least one risk factor. Some risk factors: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and prediabetes, smoking, being overweight or obese, being physically inactive, family history of early heart disease, history of preeclampsia during pregnancy, unhealthy diet, and age (55 or older for women). Do you have any of these risk factors? Do you know how healthy your heart is? Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) offers several diagnostic tests that your family physician can refer you for: echocardiography, loop monitors, Holter monitors, ECG, blood pressure monitoring, simple spirometry, pacemaker clinics, and stress tests. The stress test is a non evasive test where the patient is monitored on a treadmill. During the test the treadmill gradually increases in incline and speed. The Stress test determines if there is adequate blood flow to your heart during increasing levels of activity. It can also determine the likelihood of having coronary heart disease and identify abnormal heart rhythms. In addition, the stress test can assess the function of heart valves if they are not functioning properly. At ARH the Stress Test is performed by a registered nurse who is with the patient from start to finish. During the test, Internist Dr. Cathy Greenough is in the room at all times to monitor the patient and provide the patient with feedback from the stress test. To book a stress test, you must have a referral from your family doctor. For the test, you will be told to wear clothing and shoes that are comfortable for exercising. R0013125769

After being without one for almost a year, Pakenham residents will soon have their bank back. The Pakenham branch of the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), which has been closed for renovations since May, is scheduled to open its doors again on Monday, March 16. “It’s been a long time coming,” said Cindy Hobbs, manager of both the Almonte and Pakenham RBC locations. “We’re anxious to open and begin serving the community again.” The Pakenham RBC location is the only full service bank in the community and Hobbs said it’s important that they get it back up and running again as soon as possible. Since the old heritage building that housed the RBC was torn down due to structural problems, residents of Pakenham have had to travel elsewhere to do their banking. There are three alternate RBC branch locations surrounding the area in Almonte, Arnprior and Kinburn. “Still, we know that having to travel to do your banking

One of the services that the original Pakenham RBC was unable to offer was a night deposit box, which the new building will have. Also, the new location will have safety deposit boxes for customer use. “The new building is just so much more in keeping with the level of service that other RBC branches offer,” Hobbs said. When plans to demolish and rebuild the Pakenham RBC began, it was expected that the bank would only be closed for a period of six months. “We had originally hoped to open in November,” Hobbs said, “but a number of factors kept that from happening.” Delays with building permits and paperwork impeded the project for an additional four months, but Hobbs said it should be smooth sailing from here. “We’re distributing posters with the opening date now,” she laughed, “so we’ll keep our fingers crossed that everything goes well.” The bank will open for its regular hours at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, March 16.

The old heritage building that the bank was located in was, as Hobbs said, falling apart. “It came to a point where it just wasn’t safe anymore,” she said, “and it wasn’t really salvageable. That’s why we needed to start fresh with a new building.” After the original building was demolished, construction began on the new RBC location. The new building is located on the same lot as the original bank, and will keep many of the same features. Hobbs said a lot of attention was paid to ensuring that the new building incorporates both the RBC brand and the heritage character of Pakenham. “People driving by will definitely be able to tell right away that it’s an RBC location,” Hobbs said, “but it won’t stick out too much. It will fit in with the older buildings.” The new building won’t just

Facts you may not be aware of when filing income taxes Liz Wall

Seniors at Home

The topic of ‘filing income taxes’’ was most informative not just for the folks who attended the Jan. 28 Breakfast N’ Learn hosted by Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home (ABMSH), but for the agency as well. “It is important for us to make sure all those we serve (seniors and those with special needs) receive all the information they need that will benefit them when it comes to filing income taxes,” commented ABMSH executive director Dennis Harrington, For this reason Seniors at Home is presenting a brief outline on the six topics touched on by Breakfast N’ Learn guest speaker Ben McNeely, CPA, of Kelly Huibers McNeely, Professional Corporation Chartered Accountants (KHMPC) of Arnprior and Carleton Place. Following are a brief outline of the tax-related topics discussed. It is suggested once you read them over, address your questions and then contact the office of the guest speaker or your present accountant or ABMSH at 613-623-7981. Pension splitting: • Any married couple with pension income may benefit from this. Example – Retiree with $60K pension, CPP and OAS. If spouse has no income the total tax bill is reduced from about $15K to less than $9K saving more than $6K; • Pension credit to a spouse no pension income; • A payment from a RRIF is considered pension income; RRSP withdrawals are not; Old Age Security Clawback: • For 2014, OAS clawback = 15 per cent of income in excess of $71,592;

• Income includes investment income (dividends are ‘grossed up’); • Pension splitting can help. Talk to an accountant if OAS is clawed back;. Trillium Benefits: • Program replaced the old Property Tax or Rent credits refunded on filing the T1; • Maximum ‘Property tax grant’ of $500 is paid out within 4 to 8 weeks of filing T1; • Trillium benefits include ‘Sales tax credits’ and ‘Energy and Property Tax Credit’, determined based on income and property taxes or rent paid. Benefits are paid monthly starting in July. Death and Taxes: • All assets are “deemed” to be sold at death (only taxfree transfer is to spouse); • Different assets will have different tax implications; • Shares in a private company can get complicated; planning is necessary; • Ontario Probate Fees = 0.5 per cent on first $50K (total of $250) and 1.5 per cent on assets above $50K that are subject to probate. Donations: • Can be a great way to reduce annual taxes and/or taxes on death; • 40 per cent tax credit can be better than a deduction; depends on tax bracket; • Consider the added benefit of donating shares. Disability Benefits (form T2201): • Many people qualify and don’t realize it; • Can save over $1,500 per year in taxes. Breakfast N’ Learn is presented by ABMSH the fourth Wednesday of each month and sponsored in part by Tierney & Stauffer, LLP, Arnprior. R0013125214

Arnprior wrestlers gain valuable experience at tournaments Wendy Mayhew

Arnprior Amateur Wrestling Club

Arnprior wrestlers competed in Ottawa at St. Pat’s High school on Jan. 17 with 150-200 others ages ranging from 8 to 18. Arnprior started off with its two bantam wrestlers Brian Sheeler and Jolie Brisco. Brian lost his first match but came back to win his others to finish in second place. Jolie won all her matches to finish in first. Lily LaFont in the Juvenile division won her matches as well and placed first. Arnprior’s two cadet wrestlers, Paulena Oattes and Liam Mayhew, finished the day with third and second place finishes. It was a good start to the new year with many tournaments to come. The next weekend saw some members travel to Port Hope. This tournament gave the wrestlers an idea who their competition would be at provincials and OFSSA. Darren Mayhew in his first tournament of the season won his two

matches with the second match lasting only 40 seconds, which gave him first place. Paulena Oattes has becoming stronger and more confident each tournament and this showed with two wins by points giving her a firstplace finish. Brian Sheeler had four matches with the second being by a pin. He finished the tournament with a third-place finish. On Feb. 7-8, the Cadet/Juvenile Ontario Provincials took place in Brampton at the Powerade Centre. There were about 300 wrestlers from all across Ontario including a team from Thunder Bay. The Arnprior club had three wrestlers compete this year. First to wrestle was Liam Mayhew against a boy from Elliot Lake. Liam won by points. Liam’s second match was against a Brampton wrestler whom Liam met this summer at Olympia Sports Camp. Liam lost this match and that put him up against a boy from Renfrew. Liam won his match in under two minutes by points.

WENDY MAYHEW/SUBMITTED

The Arnprior team at the provincials includes coach Kevin Mayhew, Paulena Oattes, Jolie Brisco, Liam Mayhew and coach Janine McDonald. Liam’s fourth match was against a boy from the Tri City club and he was unable to win this one so he finished seventh overall. To get more experience, Jolie Brisco competed in the Cadet age group even though she is an age group lower. Jolie’s first match was close. She earned points in the last second,

but it was not enough and she lost by one point. Her next match was tough as she was up against someone two years older. With that girl’s experience, Jolie lost but gained experience for next year’s provincials and for her own age group provincials in April. Paulena Oattes had only one

match on Saturday at the end of the day and won, so had to be back ready to go for 8:30 Sunday morning. Her match was with a girl from the Barrie area and she lost by points. This girl went on to become the provincial champion. Paulena’s next match was do-ordie to continue on for third place. She wrestled a girl from Sarnia and quickly won to put her in the bronze medal match. Paulena wrestled a girl from Elliot Lake and remained focused to win the match on points, giving her the bronze medal. On the calendar for the wrestlers of Arnprior are the Renfrew Rumble this Saturday, Feb. 14, EOSSAA in Kingston for the high schools Feb. 19 and then OFSSA in Windsor March 2-4 and Kids provincials in April. To help cover some of costs for the wrestlers, the club is hosting a spaghetti dinner at the Fitzroy Harbour Winter Carnival Feb. 19 from 5-7 p.m. at the Fitzroy Community Centre. See our Facebook page for more details.

Fun day for hockey stars of the future Some of the youngest Arnprior minor hockey players participated Saturday when the Renfrew Minor Hockey Association held its annual Initiation Program (IP) Hockey Fun Day at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. With the Renfrew Flames goaltender caught out of position and only one off-balance blueliner left to defend, Arnprior’s Grayson Lyons (14) snaps the puck into the open side of the cage midway through the first period. The puck can be found in the lower left-hand corner of the net. Many youngsters from all over the County will be back in Renfrew Saturday, Feb. 21 when the annual Timbits Jamboree will be held at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. This Saturday (Feb. 14), the Optimists are holding their annual mini-stick tournament from 9 a.m. to noon at the Nick Smith Centre.

ended with a 5-3 Arnprior win. The second game proved to be a rough one with time spent in the box by both teams.  After two disallowed goals by Arnprior, the team suffered its only loss of the tourney with London coming away with the 4-3 win. The girls used some much deserved pool time and a pot-luck supper to boost morale and get ready for the upcoming  Saturday matches. After a great night the ladies were up and at the arena early to take on Mississauga  and succeeded with a 42  victory. Centres Jaclyn Gillan and Sarah Dean led the team’s jump and kept the pace high in the win. Saturday afternoon proved fruitful as forwards Madison, Taylor, Georgia, Aliyah, Karliegh Kucharik and Lindsay Frechette brought up the ring to score or assist in the 7-2 win over Owen Sound. Frechette had a hat-trick and an assist.

The final was played at 1 p.m. and the team was hungry for gold, but knew a win over the evenly matched Whitby squad would be hard earned. The defensive pairs of Robyn Stanton and Emma Swayze and Katie Hall and Ashley Hubert, strong throughout the tournament, rocked another shutout with their goalie for a 2-0 win to take the gold.

ADHS teams gear up for playoffs

BASKETBALL

The ADHS senior and junior basketball teams are going into the playoffs on a high after posting wins over Opeongo last week. The juniors ran their record to 8-0 with a 44-29 win over Opeongo Feb. 3, dropping that

team’s record to 6-2. Liam Hawel led the Redmen with 20 points. The juniors, who were one game ahead of Bishop Smith with one contest remaining, have earned a bye in the first round of the playoffs. They’ll begin their playoff run next Tuesday, Feb. 17 on their home court. The senior Redmen won their sixth straight game after losing the first two games of the season by thumping Opeongo 70-39. Evan Schriver scored 18 points for ADHS, while Brody Flegal added 17. With the seniors game with Valour Tuesday awarded to ADHS in a forfeit, the Redman finished the season with a 7-2 record, tied for second behind undefeated Fellowes (8-0) who played Opeongo (6-2) after press deadline to determine the playoff matchups. The seniors will also likely open the playoffs Tuesday, Feb. 17.

Many “wonderful and exciting things� are happening across the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board to integrate 21st century teaching and learning into its schools, the board says in a news release. During a presentation to the Board Jan. 26, the board’s superintendent of educational services with the learning technologies portfolio, Mark Searson, and Julia Graydon, special assignment teacher for information and learning technologies, outlined progress on a board-wide plan initiated a year ago. Innovative technology will allow students to embrace skills needed for the 21st Century - communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. Searson points towards Google software, designed and approved for education, as one tool that helps with teaching and learning in the online classroom or blended learning setting. “It’s amazing to see how quickly students have picked it up and the many ways they are collaborating. It’s been fantastic,� remarked Searson. One of the features is that any device - laptop, tablet, Smartphone, desktop computer, etc. - can be used to access student work created using Google Apps for Education (GAFE), he added. E-Learning technology also provides new opportunities for parents, who now have the ability to log in anytime to see what’s going on in their child’s day, check classroom activities, view a class calendar of events, follow a Twitter feed, or even check their own child’s electronic work portfolio. A large part of the implementation process includes professional development and support for teachers, as well as providing the necessary resources, explained Searson. “We want teachers to feel very comfortable with the change to and use of technology.� To that end, Graydon and her colleague Tom Carroll, the board’s E-Learning contact, have spearheaded

Plaschy, Harvey win major EOJHL awards Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

Two Arnprior Packers earned major awards when the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League chose its top players recently. Among the 10 awards given out to players from the six teams in the Valley Division were the top goaltender to Dominic Plaschy and most gentlemanly player to Brayden Harvey. Harvey was also one of six players to receive the Paul Poupore Award for combining hockey and scholastics excellence. “The coaches and GMs all vote for both awards,” explained Packers coach Bill Griese. “So these awards (to Plaschy and Harvey) are the consensus of the teams.” The stats show Plaschy, who has won EOJHL top goaltender awards twice before, is deserving of the honour. With more than 1,620 minutes of playing time, Plaschy has played in nets more than any other goalie in the division. He has also accumulated the most wins with 20. He has a 20-7-1 record with a 3.00 goals against average and .903 save percentage. “Dominic Plaschy is a big man and looks even bigger in the nets,” said Griese “It’s intimidating for shooters to look up and basically not know where the net is and his glove is exceptionally fast, as is his blocker

hand. The thing most people notice is his ability to play the puck like a defenceman. It changes the way teams play against us.” Harvey, a defenceman in his third year with the Packers, received a nice gift for his 21st birthday. “Brayden Harvey is a hidden gem,” said Griese. “He’s one of our best kept secrets. Few people know who he is until after we play them. His skating is his biggest asset and he doesn’t lose races for pucks and wins most of his board battles. Praising Harvey’s strong positional play and consistency, Griese added, “the thing is he does it so quietly and efficiently that it doesn’t get noticed.” The Brampton born player is studying to be a corporate lawyer, “so he has his hands full balancing hockey and his studies,” noted Griese. He said he is pleased with how both Harvey and Plaschy balance the workload between hockey and education. “The part that most excites me is they know school is a priority. It’s very impressive.” Plaschy was the metro division’s top goaltender in 2013-14 when he was with the Ottawa Canadians and was the valley division top goalie in 2012-13 when he played for Almonte.

Packers prepare for tough playoffs series with Rams EASTERN ONTARIO JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE FINAL VALLEY DIVISION STANDINGS

Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

The Arnprior Junior B Packers know their first round playoff opponent well. The Packers played the Stittsville Rams twice in the final week of the regular season with each team winning once. Arnprior finished the season in third place in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Valley Division, eight points behind Stittsville. However, it was a 3-2 win over Stittsville at home Feb. 4 that gave the Packers enough points to stay ahead of the Shawville Pontiacs and avoid a first-round go-round with first-place Renfrew Timberwolves. Arnprior finished one point ahead of Shawville, who was scheduled to start their series with Renfrew Wednesday (after press deadline). Arnprior and Stittsville revisit their recent battles this Friday, Feb. 13. With

Mother predicted doom and gloom with Findlay Oval could barely concentrate on her writing, or using the scissors, as she kept one eye on the cook stove. Every few minutes she would take a long hard look at the raging stove and say, “Albert, it’s getting pretty red.” Father would grunt into his paper, take another long drag on his pipe, and say, “now, it’s alright Mabel, I’m keeping my eye on it.” Keeping his eye on it, meant he would move off the rocking chair only if he figured the raging fire had gone up into the flue and it was

time for action. How he knew when it had reached the danger level was beyond me. All I knew was that at a very early age, my fear of a house fire had its beginning on those cold winter nights when the Findlay Oval was trying to win the battle over the icy house that never quite got warm enough to suit me. The pipes, which every Fall were

To Mother, it wasn’t a question of “if”, it was a question of “when.” That had to do with the old Findlay Oval in the winter, stocked to the hilt, 24 hours a day. It wasn’t at all unusual, after Father had chucked the firebox full of wood, to see the silver pipes turn crimson. And that’s when Mother was sure, without a doubt, the old log house would go up in flames, and her prayer was that there would be time for all of us to escape a fiery death. There was no doubt in her mind, that it was just a matter of time. As we sat around the old pine table after supper, and once the kitchen had been redded up, Mother, at the head of the table with her papers, scrap books and diary spread around her,

painted silver, snaked from the stove across the ceiling in the kitchen and then up through a hole into the hall which was my sister’s and my bedroom, took a sharp turn, and vanished into another hole into the outside wall, where supposedly, the flue was. It was in the flue, Mother knew the danger of a house fire would have its beginning. I had no idea what was inside the flue, or what it was made of, but I was sure it held our destiny in its grasp. And when Mother lamented loud and long, Father would give a long sigh, and remind her that the old log house had been standing in that very same spot, with a cook stove in a corner of the kitchen for over a hundred years, and it had yet to burn to the ground. That was little comfort to Mother, who could be heard say under her breath. “There’s always a first time, Albert.”

And then one night (Father said the coldest night he could ever remember), the old stove was fair belching from the pile of hardwood father had crammed into the firebox. The burners were getting redder by the minute, and you could smell the silver paint on the pipes. To Mother, if you could smell paint burning, a fire in the flue wasn’t far behind! That’s when Father finally thought it was time for action. Never in a rush if slower moving would do just as well, he got out of the rocking chair, laid his pipe on the floor, and went over to the wood box. The ledge at the top of the box was wide enough to hold a tin pie plate full of coarse salt. It was there for a certain purpose, and it looked very much like that was the night it would be put to use. You could take one burner off at a time on the Findlay Oval, or you could use the handle and the whole

top of the stove with the two burners could be lifted at once. Father lifted the iron handle, raising the top of the stove and hooking the handle to keep the stove open. The flames shot out like a bonfire, Mother yelled at we five kids to get our coats and boots on, and it looked very much like her fear of the whole place going up in smoke was coming to pass! Father wasn’t the least bit excited. He took the tin plate of coarse salt, dumped it all over the burning logs in the stove, gave the plate a tap with the back of his hand, and we all watched as the flames died down like a dried up creek! Once or twice, too, when even Father thought the fire was out of control, he would put on his big leather mitts, go upstairs into our bedroom, and pull the pipes apart and dump another tin plate of salt down the pipe, set the plate on the open pipe, and bring the top pipe on top, cutting off the fire completely, and within seconds, the whole fire would go out, just as if you had blown out a match. Mother never did get over her fear of a winter house fire. Every night, without fail, she would take our winter outerwear off the hooks at the back door, lay everything out on chairs at the bottom of the stairs, with orders that, not if, but when, a fire broke out, we were to grab our clothes and head outside as fast as our legs could carry us. And again, without fail, Father would remind her that the old house had stood for more than 100 years, the cook stove had raged all that time, and the closest time we ever came to burning the place down was one summer when my Uncle Lou accidentally set fire to the back house when he tossed a cigarette down the hole. The fire did a fairly good job on the back house, and singed the outside wall of the summer kitchen. The old log house didn’t suffer as much as a scratch!

Alexander George - A native of St. Catharines, now calling Almonte home, George began playing the fiddle six years ago at the young age of eight. It wasn’t long before he started performing at local events with a full band. Since moving to the Ottawa area, just two years ago, he has had the opportunity to perform on a few Ottawa Valley stages. He loves music and plays many different kinds, but the type that he likes the most is Old Time and Nova Scotia fiddle music. He performs a wide variety of reels, hornpipes, clogs, compositions, jigs, polkas, aires, and waltzes.

February seems to be carrying on just like the cold snowy January, so I guess we might as well face facts ... we’re Canadians and this is what happens here. No sense “waiting ‘till spring;” let’s get a step ahead and beat the winter blues. Time to get out and about, lots of winter carnival type celebrations going on. Card parties, bingos, dinners. Speaking of which, there is a dinner being served at the Legion for Valentine’s, right on that day. Yes, Saturday, Feb. 14 will be a hot time in the ‘ol town all afternoon. There’s entertainment in the lounge from 2-6 p.m., so come early as it fills up quickly and at 6 p.m. a roast beef buffet dinner with all the trimmings, tea or coffee and dessert all for $15 prepaid by Friday), notips, notax. Wine, of course, will be available at the bar by bottle or glass. Sooooo, want a cozy little spot for two, or four or for a gang of eight. We’ll set for you. Want to surprise your sweetie at dinner with a red rose, or more. We’ll keep them fresh for you in the cooler while you party for the afternoon. If you can only make it for the dinner, the hall doors will open at 5:30 p.m., dinner will be served at 6 pm. Plans are in place for entertainment in the lounge twice a month on Saturdays and dinner will be served at 6 p.m. one of those Saturday each

monthly breakfast as always. Don’t forget the weekly bingos. Come on in out of the cold; it’s nice and warm in the hall these days. The last column here brought a fair amount of interest to articles that were mentioned in the Legion Magazine. Thanks for your comments. It seems it has added to a lot of conversations from the general public as well as at the Legion. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has an interest I might be able to inform others about. There’s new research on PTSD and TBI using a new type of scan that would make a diagnosis much quicker based on objective measurers rather than having a soldier self-identify. The latest update on the Ontario Legion’s commitment in supporting Service Dogs to assist those suffering from PTSD is to await a Standard for Training for these dogs to be set and approved. Let’s hope that doesn’t take too long. Dogs in place now are proving themselves indispensable. There are still many people they could benefit, including firemen and first responders in a number of fields as well as our veterans. We have a number of new members this year. Please make yourself known to any of the executive, or members. If you have any questions about how things work at our branch and what we have to offer, don’t be shy to ask. We sometimes assume everyone knows and knows everyone. Let us know if we can make you feel at home in some way.

Fulton’s Sugar Bush to open for season this Saturday ganing (visitors must provide their own equipment.) For the kids (and kids-at-heart), Fulton’s also organizes trail games like I Spy and their Ultimate Challenge. “We like to encourage people to come and enjoy the season outdoors,” Fulton-Deugo said.

Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com

Although winter is still a long way from being over, one sure sign of spring is almost here: Fulton’s Pancake House and Sugar Bush is opening its doors for the season this Saturday, Feb. 14. “We’re gearing up for spring and maple syrup,” said Shirley FultonDeugo, the sugar bush’s owner. “It’s still winter, of course, but spring will come soon enough.” Fulton’s is only open on a daily basis for a limited time each year, but it packs a lot of family fun into those few short weeks. This year, Fulton’s will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Feb. 14 to April 19. Special on opening day, guests of Fulton’s pancake house will be able to take advantage of their two-forone breakfasts and receive a second meal of equal or lesser value for free. Pancakes, of course, come smothered in the house maple syrup. “Opening day is always so exciting,” Fulton-Deugo said. “We hope to see a lot of families out to enjoy it!”

WEEKEND ACTIVITIES

TOFFLEMIRE/SUBMITTED

Fulton’s Pancake House and Sugar Bush is opening its doors for the season this Saturday, Feb. 14, and will remain open daily until April 19. It is offering a full schedule of family fun each day, with a new exhibit called A Walk Through Time, which explores the process of making maple syrup over the years. Fulton’s also offers horse-drawn sleigh or wagon rides between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekends. DAILY ACTIVITIES

Fulton’s offers a full schedule of daily activities during their season. “We’re open every day,” FultonDeugo said. “All week and on the weekends. Even on the holidays,

we’re here, ready for action.” In addition to serving breakfast and lunch at their on-site pancake house, Fulton’s also has self-guided maple tours and offers access to their trails for walking, hiking, snowshoeing, cross-county skiing and tobog-

On top of the daily activities, which are still available on weekends, Saturdays and Sundays feature extra-special events at Fulton’s. On weekends, visitors can experience horse-drawn sleigh or wagon rides for $2, or have their face painted for between $2 and $5. Fulton’s also sells sweet treats like taffy on snow ($2) and maple cotton candy ($5) on weekends. Live music is also featured, which listeners can enjoy free of charge. Weekend activities are offered from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., although the sugar bush and pancake house are open all day. Both daily activities and weekend activities are also offered on holidays, such as Family Day, March

Break, Easter weekend and on closing day. NEW EXHIBIT

The process of making maple syrup has been streamlined and modernized over the years, but the original techniques have been around for decades. Fulton’s newest exhibit, A Walk Through Time, explores methods used by pioneers and Aboriginal tribes to make maple syrup. “This is a fantastic, interactive experience,” Fulton-Deugo said. “It’s fascinating, and really well done.” Created by Chad Clifford of Wilderness Rhythms, the exhibit will show the process of making maple syrup through the ages, featuring interactive components, including boiling sap over a campfire in kettles. As part of the exhibit, visitors will also have an opportunity to make bannock, a simple flatbread popular with settlers, over the fire. There is no cost to participate in the exhibit. For more information on the goings-on at Fulton’s over the next few months, check their newly-updated website at www.fultons.ca.

Pakenham singer crowned Miss Teenage Lanark County Delaney Grant releasing new single Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Pakenham’s singer and songwriter Delaney Grant can add a new title to her resume: Miss Teenage Lanark County. The 18-year-old was crowned at the pageant, held in Toronto on Jan. 24 and 25, and she’s already been busy in the community. “It’s been going by really fast,” said Grant. “It’s busy; it’s really busy,” said Grant’s mother, Nancy Ziebarth. “Everybody’s really happy for her, really proud of her.” Most recently, Grant sang at Heart Jam, a country music event in Carleton Place that raises funds for University of Ottawa Heart Institute. She also participated in Pakenham’s Frost Festival weekend and attended a junior hockey game to meet and greet residents.

She also raised $1,500 for Cardiac Kids in support of SickKids Foundation. “I was really happy about that,” Grant said. In December, she also helped at a local fundraiser for Dunrobin youth Kaelan Carlson, who was diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia and featured in the Review Jan. 15. That event raised $16,000 for Friedreich’s ataxia research. “No one knows what Friedreich’s ataxia is; I decided I should tell people what it is,” said Grant. “I did that for the provincial pageant and I’m going to continue doing that for the national pageant as well.” Friedreich’s ataxia is a degenerative neuro-muscular disorder that affects one in 50,000 people in the United States. There is currently no cure and no treatment, only symptom management. “He (Kaelan) is a really special little guy in our life,” said Ziebarth. “We just really want to do whatever we can do to help that little boy and that family.” Grant said she hopes to attend more community events throughout Lanark County and people are

invited to connect with her through email at delaney@delaneygrant.com, on Facebook at ‘Delaney Grant Miss Teenage Lanark County’ and on Twitter and Instagram @delaneygrant21. The national pageant will be held in August in Toronto. NEW MUSIC

Aside from capturing her crown, Grant has also recorded a new song set to be released in the next month. Grant originally wrote the song, titled Black and Blue, when she was 13. She rewrote the track over the Christmas break. “I thought back to that day and got really mad again and just started writing,” Grant said. “It’s kind of a typical break-up song. It’s saying, ‘I’m done with this. I fell for you once and I don’t want to do it again.’ “I love it. It’s so different than what people think I sing.” Grant also has a Facebook page dedicated to her music at Delaney Grant Music. “We’re really excited about everything for Delaney,” said Ziebarth. “We’re just looking forward to what this next year will bring her.”

Frost festival unlocks Pakenham’s past with pop-up museum Ashley Kulp

Displays featuring artifacts from the Pakenham General Store, Fulton’s Sugar Bush and the RBC branch were showcased, as well as others on the rich heritage of sport in Pakenham, churches and businesses, the Pakenham Fair, frost festival, scrapbooks and Women’s Institute Tweedsmuir histories. “Bonnie’s mom is an historian who kept a good record and collection and

10 years of never forgetting my dear late husband, We watched you suffer from that horrible day October 23, 2001. When you had the brain hemorrhage and surgery till your death 4 years later We prayed for you and watched over you in vain for your recovery. You will never be forgotten. Our family recalls memories of you nearly every day. Please keep a place in Heaven for me.

A special smile, a special face, In our hearts, a special place, No words we speak can ever say, How much we miss you everyday. To hear your voice and see your smile, To sit and talk with you awhile, To be together in the same old way, Would be our dearest wish today. You may be out of sight, But you remain in our hearts forever, Always loved and remembered each day.

PS. Tammy and I spread your ashes at sea in Barbados in 2014 Nicole Keller (Howard) Sept. 10, 1989 – Feb 12, 2008

I wish I could visit heaven Nicole, I would grab you and never let you go! Every day is a struggle for us Nicole, You were my best friend and daughter, a special Auntie to your niece Shay-Lynn. I miss your beautiful smile, your sense of humour, your laughter, your big heart and your very caring ways, the world would have been much better with you in it. We did not get to say, good-bye, and we left so many things undone. Dad misses you every day! You were a very special friend to many we knew and 100’s we didn’t. And then you met Dan and your life changed, and so did ours. Everything that made you happy, made you cry and made you laugh was about you and Dan! You did so many things with Dan, new things, mud bogging, dirt bikes, camping and swimming at the lake etc. I was so happy that you got to know love for awhile and live life to the fullest with Dan and your friends! You were always coming and going here there and everywhere.

In loving memory of a Mom and Nanny who passed away February 15, 2005 Mom, as we walk through the journey of life, We remember. We remember how you helped us to grow with love, truth, and honesty. We remember how you helped us to choose the right path with values, morals, and self worth. We remember how you gave us dreams with hope and confidence. As we remember, We pray to be mothers like you, to shape our children into strong adults, full of hopes and dreams. You made us who we are today, and we will always remember you in life’s passings for no one could touch our lives as you have. Always in our hearts, Sheena, Tanya and families

Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartache When someone speaks your name Silent are the tears that fall Living our lives without you is the hardest part of all The special years will not return When we were all together But with the love within our hearts you will walk with us forever Love always, Lillian, Ronald, Gordon, Nancy, Bonnie and Family If memories and love can keep us together.
