EMC News – Council made a deliberate decision to flat line the 2012 Arnprior budget and wrestle down the municipal property tax increase to 2.49 per cent, says Mayor David Reid. The hike brings $157,500 more into town coffers for everything from road resurfacing to projection studies to even a new skateboard park at the Nick Smith Centre. Reid said new accounting software wasn’t in place in time to provide comparables, but that next year an in-depth analysis of the actuals will help guide council to direct money toward priorities. “It was kind of a difficult situation, but it had to be done. It’s behind us now,� he said. “And I think it went well despite that. We had a good cross-section of meeting all needs of all departments.� He said public safety takes priority, which is why council gave thumbs up to vehicle and equipment replacements in the fire services. Youth programs to keep young people occupied were saved, and the wooden skateboard structure will be replaced with a metal one this spring. A $50,000 study to do streetscaping and landscaping of John and Elgin streets will begin with asking the public what it would like to see – be it more benches, greenspace, new sidewalks, updated light standards, and more. Coun. Mark Willmer said the exercise should alert resident to the possibilities. See ‘STREETSCAPING’ Page 3

Town’s population grows by more than 13 per cent BY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – After years of sliding back, Arnprior’s population in 2011 jumped past the 8,000 mark and rivals Renfrew’s for the first time.

Mayor David Reid made mention of the news, after Statistics Canada released census data last week, at Monday’s council meeting. He chuckled, than “congratulated� Arnprior for its 13.4 per cent growth,

which he surmised must make it one of the fastest growing communities in Eastern Ontario. The rise is higher than most if not all neighbouring communities. Reid suggested past statistics

seemed low-balled to him, but that this one is likely accurate. He also cautioned about equating growth with prosperity. See ‘POPULATION’ Page 3

EMC News - Arnprior OPP are asking for the public’s assistance in locating a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run collision that has left a 56-year-old female pedestrian with serious head injuries. On Monday, Feb. 13 at about 7:45 p.m., two pedestrians were walking southbound on McNab Street in Arnprior near the Nylene plant. The woman was struck from behind and knocked to the ground. Police report the suspect made no attempt to stop

the vehicle and fled the scene southbound on McNab Street. The victim was transported by paramedics to the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital and later transferred to the Ottawa Hospital with serious head injuries. Police are looking for what is believed to be a smaller, older model red pick-up, which may have sustained damage to the front passenger side as a re-

Streetscaping aims to excite public about upgrades Continued from front

“It would get people excited and aware,� Willmer said in arguing for the expenditure at the Feb. 8 meeting. Another project he championed was upgrading of the D.A. Gillies Building, home of the Arnprior and District Museum. He said money should go toward the building every year, so $25,000 this year for win-

dows to reduce energy costs ďŹ ts with a commitment made by a previous council. “It is the centrepiece of town,â€? he said. “We need to do something every year.â€? Coun. Ted Strike said he feels as strongly about roads as Willmer does about arts and culture. Willmer countered that money is going toward roads. Coun. Dan Lynch reluctantly voted in fa-

Population growth greater than national Continued from front

“It’s good in some ways, but you have to make sure it’s sustainable,â€? Reid said. “Sustainable growth that is manageable is a good thing. But we don’t want it to change who we are.â€? He said it is crucial to have infrastructure – meaning roads, sewer and water pipes, and more – in place to support the growth. But for the most part, the town won’t need another library, community centre, wastewater pollution control centre, or similar buildings anytime soon. More taxpayers moving to town to pay for those services will reduce the burden on all, he said. OfďŹ cially, Arnprior’s population comes in at 8,114, good for 168th in Ontario. In 2006, the last time a census report was published, the town’s population sat at 7,158. The total number of private dwellings is 3,767.

None of it came as much of a surprise to Reid, who said when houses have been built by the hundreds in town over the last few years – not to mention for years in the future – it comes as no surprise the population jumped by almost 1,000. Arnprior could surpass Renfrew by the next census. Renfrew’s population sits at 8,218, up from a 2006 report of 7,846, for a growth rate of 4.7 per cent. McNab-Braeside’s population bumped up to 7,371 from 7,222 for an increase of 2.1 per cent in the past ďŹ ve years. Canada’s population reached 33,476,688 in 2011. It grew 5.9 per cent over the last ďŹ ve years, with the strongest upswing in the four western provinces. Canada has the highest rate of growth among G8 nations. Ontario’s population is 12,851,821, up 8.8 per cent. Ottawa’s is 883,391, up from the last census total of 812,129.

vour of the spending, but not before indicating his frustrations with the building and musing aloud about asking the federal government to take over ownership. “This museum is a bottomless pit of money,â€? Lynch said. “Some day it will die.â€? Willmer said he doubts council will let it crumble to the ground. “It’s Arnprior’s Parliament Building,â€? he said. The long-awaited reconstruction of Landrigan Street scored a partial victory, thanks to heavy lobbying by Reeve Walter Stack, who managed to convince colleagues that a $63,000 design study, complete with “camera-ingâ€? underground pipes, will set it up for reconstruction likely in 2013. Strike added that unless the work is done soon, the town may be forced to ask the school buses to ďŹ nd another route. He would also like to see lifetime-costing for roads built into future budgets. Council approved $13,000 for the parking lot between the library and museum, another $6,000 will go toward a furnace for the library’s main circulation desk and upstairs workroom and ofďŹ ce areas. A compromised was reached on increasing user fees and charges. Many will increase by 2.5 or 5 per cent in

2012, though not swimming instruction which is already priced higher than neighbouring areas. Although money has gone toward plans to revitalize downtown streets, Coun. Lynn Grinstead, who liaisons with the business improvement area, couldn’t convince others at the table to fund the $35,000 community improvement fund that would provide ďŹ nancial incentives to have businesses upgrade storefronts and more. A $20,000 marketing strategy was also put on the backburner this year, along with a tourist information booth and downtown revitalization co-ordinator position. Instead, about $97,000 was set aside to “shave and paveâ€? smaller streets such as Mima, Atkinson and Thomas. Reid reiterated that the budget posed some challenges, but with the 25-years-experience of David Pollard in the role of treasurer and acting chief administrative ofďŹ cer, “we got through the budget really well.â€? He said next year will see a “totally differentâ€? process in place, guided by the July completion of the infrastructure master plan. It will prioritize needs and free council to take action. Council is set to approve the 2012 budget next Tuesday, in a move largely seen as a formality.

Needs versus privacy to challenge township BY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – Balancing the privacy of folks in the township with a looming demand for more services will be the challenge facing MacNab-Braeside, Mayor Mary Campbell said at a Feb. 14 breakfast meeting. Campbell told the crowd of 48 at the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce-sponsored event that people pay about $50,000 for property, another $25,000 for septic and sewage, and so intend to put a $300,000 home on it. There is little left in the pot to contribute to taxes for other services

such as public transportation. However, as the population ages and more residents downsize to rural condos, they want to stay in the township but will demand greater services to assist them to live there, said Campbell. MORE THAN ROADS

To those who say a rural municipality should focus exclusively on repairing roads and other core services, Campbell explains that the province expects every municipality “to stand on its own two feet.” Meaning social spending and economic development are necessary.

But on the topic of economic development, the township can’t let businesses set up wherever they want. She showed a map with chunks of land identified as environmentally protected, and with a township of many waterways, that is a huge area. Then there are the areas designated farmland, also labeled hands-off. The spots in McNab-Braeside most likely to see economic activity are in the Glasgow area toward Stewartville, and near Burnstown. Campbell said council is considering $1 million worth of tax-base revenue in the township over the next five years.

She echoed the findings of Vision 2027, a McNab-Braeside survey showing 66 per cent of people rank environmental protection as their top priority, followed by maintaining rural culture and community, and promotion of heritage. She pegged the population at 8,100, with 3,100 dwellings, 200 businesses, 147 farms, and 13 hamlets. FARM CHANGES

It is a “fairly affluent” population with the lowest level of people in Ontario Works social assistance programs in Renfrew County.

Campbell said agriculture has been and remains the most important industry in the township. But it has changed in her lifetime from general farming to beef to soya. Niche players are big in agriculture at the moment, such as the alpaca ranch, selling to international markets. Others include garlic and turkey producers selling to farmers’ markets.

Year ahead to be one of transition at town hall: Reid derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – Last year was the review, this year the transition, and 2013 will be the year of action, Arnprior Mayor David Reid told a roomful of business leaders Tuesday morning. Reid said 2011 was one of observation for the new council, along with installing new accounting software for staff, which made solving the water billing fiasco even more daunting. However, the town took the lead province-wide on working on tempering escalating policing costs. He said small municipali-

ties spend about 20-25 per cent of their revenue on police services, which are rising at two to four times the cost-ofliving. It will be a long process, but Reid is confident of making “some headway.” Last year also saw a review of bylaws, which hadn’t been done in many years. The “redundancy” of a committee-of-the-whole system was dropped and seven advisory committees were created. Reid is excited for the June 8, 9, and 10 festivities to celebrate the town’s 150th anniversary. They kick off with fire-

works, followed by two days of heritage games and other activities at Robert Simpson Park and downtown. An anniversary Facebook page is gaining ‘likes’ by the hundreds. WATERFRONT WALK

In 2012, Reid expects the waterfront walkway from the park to the marina will be back in working order. Labour negotiations are coming along, with “both sides working very, very hard.” And the new chief administrative officer Kevin McLlwain will transition into the top bureaucrat’s position

– bringing with him a strong background in financial matters. The infrastructure master plan, due in July, will focus spending on capital projects through a 20-year plan. It will keep the town ahead of the development curve, while dealing with – in some cases – 100-year-old pipes. The mayor also mentioned evolving programs for both youth and seniors, saying soccer is more popular and that a diversity of programs that are not cost-prohibitive are needed. Among the most important issues in 2012, and of significance to the Greater Arnprior

Chamber of Commerce members who hosted the breakfast at the legion, is the John and Elgin streets’ revitalization. Reid said the town has invested $50,000 to a streetscaping design plan. The first step is public input on sidewalks, greenspace, streetlighting and other items. Then it goes to an engineering firm to see what is affordable. But with the province facing a $16-billion deficit,

ADMH on track to reach 2012 goals: CEO BY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News - The hospital should meet all eight goals set for 2012, Arnprior District Memorial Hospital CEO Eric Hanna said at a business breakfast Tuesday. Hanna, whose pay is now pegged to achieving goals set out by the hospital’s board of directors, detailed the goals to a crowd of almost 50 Greater Chamber of Commerce members at the Arnprior Legion branch 174. The first goal is to increase the patient satisfaction rate from the current 97.3 per cent, already one of the highest over the last five years. Physicians rate higher than the provincial average. The second is to reduce falls to seven out of every 1,000 patients. At-risk patients are now to wear purple armbands to alert staff. The third has to do with hand hygiene compliance. Auxiliary volunteers at the front doors now ask those coming and going to wash their hands.

The fourth is to reduce re-admittance rates. Follow-up calls to the patient’s house asking about recurring symptoms should reduce rates by 17 per cent. About 100 calls are made a month, one per household. The fifth goal is to improve staff satisfaction scores by 7 per cent. Hanna is pleased to see 80 per cent of the 350 employees participated last year, by far the highest in the province. The sixth goal is to balance the budget again, though Hanna noted the province’s $16-billion deficit may complicate future plans.

grants from Queen’s Park may be fewer than in past years, he said. The town hall renovations, at $2.5 to $3 million, will be an issue this year. There is some consideration to building a new town hall. Reid said 2013 will be when council “takes some action” on planning, but that it must be sustainable growth and a careful balance between the community’s needs and wants.

mation features should help identify which patients are overprescribed medications beyond the standard 14 per person. It is at 14.9. Hanna is confident all goals will be reached. “We are on track to hit all of them,” he said.

INTEGRATE SERVICES

The seventh is to promote the corporation’s integrated services, such as at The Grove Nursing Home, which also offers programs in respite care, day care, and assisted living. The final goal is bring down the use of medications at The Grove. Now that greater information technology services are in play, auto-

EDITORIAL

Your Community Newspaper

Love of hockey requires solutions to ice time demands It’s no accident hockey is our national sport. Over the past century the game has become ingrained in our collective psyche — well before the introduction of television brought National Hockey League matches into the living rooms of the nations. Canadian weather has a lot to do with our enthusiasm for the sport. Cold winter fields covered by a sheet of snow and ice aren’t exactly ideal for rugby, football, soccer and other sports popular in warmer climates. Enter the outdoor ice rink. The Upper Ottawa Valley has many of them, some public, many private, to meet the clamouring demand from school children looking to

play a game of shinny and parents who want to enjoy some time skating with their tots. Every winter you see the hordes of children gathered at the outdoor rinks. Of course, there are also many youngsters suited up in pads, jerseys and helmets, playing organized games in arenas. And every year parents dig deep in their wallets to pay the ever-increasing cost to outfit their kids and pay registration fees to play organized hockey. Canadians have a hunger for hockey, but municipalities are finding it increasingly more difficult to meet that need. Every year, hundreds of hockey teams in Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley jockey for limited ice time in the region’s arenas.

And every year the demand for ice time only increases. But the cost of building new arenas to provide ice time can be prohibitive and municipalities have a big wish list for infrastructure improvements — the millions needed to replace Valley towns quickly becoming antiquated water and sewer pipes spring to mind — which means, we must come up with creative solutions to meet this burgeoning demand. One idea is to find more effective ways to schedule ice time. Municipalities should provide more scheduling options for teams such as the Capital City Condors, a team that caters to children with developmental disabilities, who because of their medical needs require more flexible ice times.

Another idea worth exploring is encouraging more so-called “P3 partnerships,� partnering with businesses to share the costs of building new arenas. We’ve already seen creative solutions from individuals and associations within the community. Think of the hundreds of volunteers who donate their time to maintain the many outdoor ice rinks around the region — at no cost to local government. These are people who saw a need, and stepped up to volunteer their time. Hockey. It’s our game. It’s our collective responsibility to keep it that way.

OPINION

‘Shouldn’t Hurt’ tournament provides support for victims To the Editor: We would like to thank you very much for your support of the 2011 It Shouldn’t Hurt to be a Child Hockey Tournament held this past November in Arnprior. Victims of Violence Canadian Centre for Missing Children is a federally registered charitable organization (Registration # 130 922 867). Since our inception in 1984, the mission of Victims of Violence has been to provide long-term support and guidance to victims of violent crime and their families and to aid families of missing children in the search for their loved ones; to conduct research on issues affecting victims of violent crime; and to act as a resource centre providing information on these topics for victims and the community; to provide to governments, news media and the community a victim’s perspective on issues affecting victims of violent crime; and to generally promote public safety and the protection of society. We are dedicated to the prevention of crimes against children and to educating children on personal safety issues, and are the biggest distributor of free child protection materials in Canada. We are not government funded, nor are we part of any unit-

ed appeal program. All of the funds we use to operate come from the community, through fundraising events such as the It Shouldn’t Hurt to be a Child Hockey Tournament, and from donations and sponsorships from individuals and from companies like you. Victims of Violence was founded in 1984, after the abduction and murder of our founding member’s son by a serial killer in British Columbia. We have since moved our head off ice to Ottawa, and for over 28 years, we have been providing services to victims of crime across Canada. We have been working hard both provincially and federally in seeking legislative changes in the name of public safety, as well as to provide a better response to victims of crime in Canada. We regularly make presentations to various Standing Committees in the House of Commons and Senate of Canada, to universities, colleges, schools, and at conferences across the country. Our commitment is to protect the most vulnerable members of our society, our children. Victims of Violence is committed to the protection of children through education.

Program, we offer a wide variety of written child protection materials, and a number of materials to help parents understand the importance of educating their children on personal safety. Proceeds from the Hockey Tournament are used to aid in the efforts of reducing crimes against children. We wish we could say that the efforts of our organization are no longer necessary. Unfortunately, the reality is that we must step up our efforts in educating the public, and most importantly, our children. We continue to rely on the concern, kindness and generosity of people like you to heighten the profile of missing children, to educate communities, and to assist victims of crime. By supporting the It Shouldn’t Hurt to be a Child hockey tournament, you are helping us to continue the invaluable programs offered through Victims of Violence Canadian Centre for Missing Children.’ Again, we thank you for your support. We look forward to your support again at the 2012 tournament. Brittany Faulkner, Executive Director Victims of Violence Canadian for Missing Children

To the Editor: I’m writing to express ‘kudos’ to Mel’s Flowers in town. My mom passed away Jan. 25 and I only got around to getting flowers on Saturday, Jan 28. The ladies there were very helpful and although it was late morning and I needed them for the next day for the wake, I was told to come back for 3:30 and they’d have two bouquets ready. One from the grandchildren and one from the great grandchildren. The bouquets were absolutely beautiful and very colourful, which I wanted, along with ribbons saying grandchildren, great grandchildren. I brought them home after the funeral Monday, Jan. 30 and I am still enjoying them today, Feb. 8, as is my aunt to whom I gave the other bouquet. My aunt is my mom’s sister, so I’m really pleased that we’re still both still enjoying them for mom and there’s still a lot of life left in them, so we will enjoy them for days to come. Thank you for a wonderful job, Mel’s. Erlene McGuire Arnprior

To the Editor: Good Samaritans, they really do exist. On a recent trip to Ottawa, my wife and I had a flat tire on the highway not far from Arnprior. While we were waiting on the mechanic that CAA was sending, a kind gentleman pulled over and helped get us started. He said he had time to kill and knew how we felt, since it had recently happened to him. So there we go back on the road to find a new tire in Arnprior. Unfortunately time was not on our side and most businesses were closed. Thank goodness Prior Tire wasn’t. When I knocked on the door at 6 p,m,, Tim Flegal cheerfully said, “no problem, pull in to the middle bay and I’ll have a look.” Well not only did he look, he replaced our tire with a used one “on loan” and changed the spare. We were back on the road again in no time. Timm thank you so very much for your kindness. Ed Cotnam Pembroke

That is why Harper’s belt tightening is Du right Ding to Do.

There is a real thrill to seeing a Mockingbird EMC Lifestyle - One of the greatest pleasures I get from writing this column is hearing about your exciting encounters with nature. I enjoy all sightings, which range from white Ermine chasing Flying Squirrels up trees to majestic Bald Eagles soaring overhead. I also enjoy hearing about birds visiting your backyard feeders. Sometimes those include an oddly coloured bird, and other times, a puzzling stranger. Recently Diane Perky from the White Lake area called me about the latter. The bird was near the size of a Blue Jay, was gray above and white below, and sported a white patch on its partly black wing. Two birds– a Gray Jay and a Northern Shrike – crossed her mind but her visitor had a very different bill. It was longer and more slender. When I heard Diane’s detailed description, I knew the bird could only be a Northern Mockingbird, a bird familiar to most visitors to the southern states. Mockingbirds, however, are quite rare in our area, usually being only encountered in spring or sum-

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way mer. They have nested locally at least twice and in the Ottawa area several times. Although occasionally found in Ottawa in winter, this is, as far as I know, the first winter record for the White Lake–Pakenham-Arnprior area. Mockingbirds get their name from their ability to incorporate the sounds of other birds into their songs. They sing phrases usually in repeats of three or more, making them easily vocally distinguishable

from Brown Thrashers, their close relatives, which sing notes in pairs. Mockingbirds have been observed in Ontario since 1902 but the first nest was not discovered until 1960. They had been principally found in the “Banana Belt” around the west end of Lake Ontario, but in recent years, they have begun a slow expansion northward. Perhaps global warming is behind this expansion, as is suspected to be behind the range expansion of other southerners such as Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Carolina Wrens, and Black Vultures. Mockingbirds are also no longer being captured for the pet trade, another reason for their increase. In winter, Mockingbirds eat a variety of berries. Diane and Paul Petryk have observed their welcome guest dining on Yew and Juniper berries, as well as their suet. When I suggested she try feeding it raisins or fruit pieces, Diane provided some fresh raspberries, which were apparently received with great enthusiasm.

This photograph captures the essence of the Mockingbird. However, her strawberries went ignored. Mockingbirds are notoriously aggressive in defending their territories and nests. Apparently, this one has claimed the Petryk property as its own, for it aggressively keeps other birds at bay. In particular, it has taken a strong dislike to

a Hairy Woodpecker, which it mercilessly drives away at every opportunity. Perhaps the woodpecker, which owns a lethal bill, is conjuring up ways to kill a Mockingbird! A reminder that the Innis Point Bird Observatory is having its annual fundraiser

on Feb. 28, and I am the guest speaker. For a fine meal and entertaining evening full of bird talk, why not join me! Details can be found at http:// www.ofnc.ca/events/IPBOFundraiser-Feb2012.pdf The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca

Curling club cancels trade show fundraiser chants in booking display booths. Prospective displayers received a mail-out information package, a follow-up email and a personal phone call, but the efforts still did not generate enough committed vendors to make the trade show a viable event. “It is regretful that this event did not receive sufficient interest and community support to proceed,” said Wahay. However, the committee sincerely thanks those few businesses who

did make a commitment to being a part of the trade show. The Arnprior Curling Club had hoped the event, in addition to providing a venue to feature local businesses, would benefit the curling club in its fund raising efforts to purchase their building and land. Tait noted that the curling club does offer a number of other business opportunities, including on- and off-ice advertising and a rental

facility. As well, an “exciting opportunity” exists to have the curling club named in honour of your business or in memory of a loved one, she added. Please contact Wahay at 613-622-0018 if you would like to individually advertise your business or rent the club’s facilities, which would support local curlers’ efforts to keep a curling facility in this community.

Firefighters keep Kinburn Side Road shop fire away from fuel containers theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC News – Firefighters waged a defensive battle against a fire in a shop that contained biodiesel, in the hopes of keeping it from spreading to nearby fuel tanks Saturday night in West Carleton just east of Arnprior. And their efforts paid off. According to the Ottawa Fire Service, a 911 call by property owner Art Martin was received just before 6 p.m. When fire crews arrived at 4011 Kinburn Side Rd., they found an 18-by-24-metre building fully involved with flames showing through the roof and through sides of the steel siding building. Firefighters quickly learned from the property owner the shop was being used to produce biodiesel, and contained chemicals and other hazardous products. Ottawa Fire Service public information officer Marc Messier explained this information caused firefighters to retreat and battle the blaze from a safe distance for fear of explosion. The flames from the blaze could be seen from Highway 417 and lit up the night sky around Kinburn and Paken-

ham. “This fire was fought defensively as a result of possible hazards involved,” Messier said. “Crews concentrated on protecting other buildings on the property including the home, which was 200 feet away.” The family home was untouched by fire and four, 5,000 litre fuel tanks that were next to the building on fire were saved. COLLAPSE

Messier reported the shop building collapsed around 7:30 p.m. but continued to burn for some time. Also destroyed in the fire were one vehicle and a trailer. Fire crews from Arnprior and Mississippi Mills were called in to assist by providing tankers to shuttle water to fire scene. The Ottawa Police Service closed Kinburn Side Road between Dominion Springs Farm and Highway 417 for several hours as crews battled the blaze. There were no injuries. Firefighters did remain on scene most of the night extinguishing hot sports.

Messier reported Monday that damage from the blaze is estimated at $375,000. As for Martin and his family, he told the Chronicle Guide EMC they are “doing fine.” He recalled how he had just stepped outside to do something and “saw the first puff of smoke” coming from the shop early Saturday evening. He praised the fire department for their quick response, although he admitted it seems like a long time when one waits for the fire crews to arrive. Martin said he felt the fire was “somewhat sensationalized” in some media reports. “The house was never in any danger. It (fire) wasn’t at the house. They (firefighters) told us (Martin, his wife and children),” he said. “The wind was blowing in the right direction.” The task at hand for Martin and his family is securing heat for the house as the heat source for the home was in the shop. That is his first priority. Whether or not the shop will be rebuilt is a topic for discussion for another day. “It’s not the house, it’s a building. We still have a roof over our heads,” Martin concluded.

OPP rev up their campaign against distracted drivers EMC News – “No excuses, no exceptions.” The Arnprior OPP is reminding drivers they are on the look-out for distracted drivers this week. The local detachment issued a news release advising they will taking the “no excuses, no exceptions” approach as they target distracted drivers all week through to Sunday. The province-wide OPP campaign, the fourth held in the past year, is running Feb. 13 to 19, with the OPP con-

ducting highly-visible enforcement of distracted driving laws “in an effort to protect drivers, their passengers and other roads users from the needless loss of life on our roads.” The OPP is warning motorists that any activity that takes their attention away from driving is dangerous. The campaign isn’t just about using a phone or texting while driving, stresses the police. Even day-dreaming can create a situation where the driver misses something important

that could result in a bad decision behind the wheel, they note. DEATHS

“We’re only five weeks into the new year and eight people have died already in distraction-related collisions on OPP patrolled roads and that’s more than impaired driving and speeding fatalities combined,” said Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division.

“Whether you’re texting, talking, reading or shaving, a diversion - any diversion of attention that lowers one’s ability to focus on driving can happen and within seconds, someone else could die,” he added. Sydney and Suzanne Soulière are far too familiar with the dangers of distracted driving. Sadly, they lost their 18-year-old son Damon in a distracted driving incident on May 28, 2011. Damon was on his way home from North Bay, Ontario when he began

texting while driving. His vehicle crossed the centre line, collided with a tractor-trailor and Damon died as a result of the collision. “For the love of our son and his accomplishments, please don’t be distracted and drive - no more excuses,” urge the Soulieres. “We know it kills or injures and you’re risking your life and the lives of others on the road. “We hope the death of our son and those who have died, young and old, due to distracted driving show you that it’s

not worth it. Believe us, it’s not. Our son was going into the Armed Forces to serve his country and help people. He was a good boy who made a mistake and now, getting the message out about the dangers of distracted driving is the only way he can help.” The Soulieres invite the public to check out Damon’s Facebook Page to see him as an 18-year-old captain of his high school rugby team and a Canadian Forces soldier who would have been finishing his first year of university.

Digital mammography campaigners hit the ground running By SHERRY HAAIMA Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC News-The Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital Digital Mammography campaign may have just launched, but with money in the pot and several key people behind it, it is already shaping up to be a good one. Digital mammography is the latest technology in terms of early breast cancer detection, explained Dr. Frank Lee, associate professor at the University of Ottawa, a radiologist at ADMH and the Ottawa Hospital and the head of the Ontario Breast Screening Program at ADMH. He was speaking at the official launch of the campaign at the hospital Tuesday. “As a radiologist I very excited about this piece of equipment. It really is one of the best screening tools we can provide women and men,� said Dr. Lee. Among those celebrating in the hospital’s diagnostic imaging department was Leigh Ann Kyte, of Fitzroy Harbour, who

knows firsthand the importance of quality cancer screening and care close to home. In 2009, Kyte discovered a lump that was quickly diagnosed as cancer. Chemotherapy, radiation and a lumpectomy followed and now, Kyte has only good things to say about the health care team in Arnprior and beyond that helped her safely through the experience. “The screening program at ADMH, the quick access to it and my family doctor are the reasons why two years, later, I am able to tell this story. We need to continue supporting our community hospitals and keeping up to date with the latest technologies, like a digital mammography unit,� said Kyte, a wife and mother of two. The machine costs in excess of $600,000, said Eric Hanna, president and CEO of ADMH, who introduced the campaign chair Kimberly O’Shaughnessy, marketing manager for Island View Suites. “We found someone with a market-

ing background who is already invested in the community,� said Hanna. “She has already proven herself to be a go-getter and a strong leader.� The campaign goal is to raise 600,000 by October and the ADMH foundation is looking to the members of the community to raise $400,000 of that total, said O’Shaughnessy. A team of hardworking, dedicated volunteers quietly working in the background since past summer has helped to bring the total to $300,000, she announced. Thermometers on the hospital grounds and on Daniel Street will track the fundraising efforts. O’Shaughnessy.thanked the groups, business and individuals who have already contributed to the total and urged the community to continue to help in any way possible. “I encourage you to get out there, host events, donate and let’s work together to make this dream a reality,� she said.

Mary is hung out to dry over some wet stockings EMC Lifestyle - Mother was a great one for routine. To her there was a purpose for everything, and everything had to be done in order. It seemed to me that I was always being taught a lesson to prepare me for the next step in life. And so it was, that at the supper table one night, Mother announced that I was old enough to wash out my underwear and stockings every night before I went to bed, just like my older sister Audrey had been doing for years. Of course, this brought a snicker from my brothers. It was a time when any mention of underpinnings was done in hushed tones. And here was my mother announcing to everyone as we were digging into our meat loaf, that I would be washing out my own underwear before I went to bed. I could feel my face flush red with embarrassment. It certainly didn’t bother Father who simply asked Everett to pass the gravy, as if being told at the supper table that his youngest was now old enough to wash out her own underwear was right up there with talking about the weather! My sister Audrey, every night, just before we headed up the stairs for bed, went to the kitchen basin, and washed out her underwear and stockings. Then she draped them over

the back of a chair and pushed it close to the Findlay Oval, so that everything would be dry enough to wear in the morning. Right after we had redded up the kitchen, Audrey put the big kettle on the front of the stove to come to a boil. It would take a while to be hot enough, so there was still time to leaf through Eaton’s catalogue. Mother said Audrey would make sure I did the chore properly, and I was to do what my sister said. I couldn’t for the life of me, see what was so difficult about washing out my underwear and long beige cotton stockings. Dip them in the hot sudsy water, rinse them in another washbasin, and hang them on the

Physician-professor joins Champlain LHIN team By naming Dr. Jacques Lemelin as primary care lead for the Champlain Local Health Integration Network Feb. 2, the LHIN may have taken a major step to strengthen and further integrate primary care into local health planning. Dr. Lemelin is a family physician in Ottawa and professor in the department of family medicine at the University of Ottawa. He will work with the Champlain LHIN to ensure primary care services are better integrated with the work of other health sectors. By working together, the

LHIN and local health service providers continue to implement strategies to improve access to quality care for residents in the area. Across the province, LHINs have been building partnerships with local primary care providers. The introduction of a primary care lead in each of the province’s 14 LHINs is endorsed by both the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ontario Medical. The move is also in line with the government’s Action Plan commitment to bring planning for the full patient journey under the LHINs.

back of a chair. That would be it. Audrey said she would do her washing first so that I would get the hang of it. I told her I couldn’t see what could be so difficult about washing out a pair of flower-bag underpants and a pair of long stockings. I assured her I was perfectly capable of doing it on my own. “Suit yourself,� she said, and turned back to Eaton’s catalogue at the kitchen table. The washing part was easy. It was wringing out the water that was a chore. But I got out as much of the water as I could, and took the pants and the stockings over to a chair by the stove. It was soon obvious that I was a long way from getting out the wash water, and they were soon making a pool on the kitchen floor. Mother ordered me to get some newspaper out of the wood box to catch the drip. Several times Audrey started to open her mouth to give me instructions, but Mother just shook her head and Audrey said nothing. When we climbed the stairs to go to bed, I took a last look at what I had accomplished without any help from my sister Audrey. By then the newspapers were saturated and the pants and stockings were still pouring out water. I sneaked my hand over to Audrey’s chair, and everything was almost dry. Oh,

well, I thought, they will all be dry by morning. And I went to bed content that I had learned another lesson on growing up. The next morning I tore downstairs to retrieve my belongings. Audrey had long since claimed hers. Well, there were the stockings, still dripping wet, and the flour bag underwear as stiff as a piece of cardboard. “What happened?� I wailed. “Well� Mother said, “if you had listened to your sister and watched her, you would have seen that she rinsed everything twice. You didn’t, and the underwear is still full of soap. The stockings are wet because you wouldn’t let Audrey show you how to wring them out. So I guess you will have to wear them to school wet.� And she turned and went to the table to put out the porridge bowls. Mother did let me put on a pair of dry flour bag underpants, and a dry pair of stockings to wear to the Northcote School. But just as Mother hoped I would, I learned two valuable lessons that night. One was to take advice when it was handed out and when I didn’t know what I was doing, and the other lesson was that any young lady worth her salt washed out her underwear and stockings every night before she went to bed.

Get W.I.T.H. It! participants join Slim ‘Til You Win competition EMC Lifestyle - On Feb. 7, the Get W.I.T.H. It! program hosted the launch of the second annual Slim ‘Til you Win competition between Renfrew and Lanark counties. The weight loss contest was started last year to promote heart healthy lifestyle choices including exercise and weight management. The Renfrew County Paramedics were on hand to sign up and weigh in participants for the Renfrew County team. Representatives from the University of Ottawa Heart Institute were available with in-

formation on healthy eating and weight loss strategies. The HeartWise Exercise Facilitator from the Heart Institute conducted a survey of the Get W.I.T.H. It! participants to learn more about what people are looking for in their exercise programs. It was a busy night. Get W.I.T.H. It! continues to run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. in the halls of Arnprior District High School. There are now 300 people registered with 60 to 80

people out walking on each of the nights. Come join the crowd – walk where it is safe, dry, warm and fun, urge organizers. The Slim ‘Til you Win Competition this year will be a year-long opportunity to help

Renfrew County bid for the Slim Till You Win Cup. Registrants will weigh in again on Thursday, March 8 and then keep the momentum going until the New Year when the two counties will tally their results for the grand prize.

My View From Island View

Serendipity So I was giving some thought to serendipity. The dictionary describes serendipity as luck that takes the form of ďŹ nding valuable or pleasant things that you are not looking for. Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever been searching for something, ďŹ nd something completely different and then realize that what you’ve discovered and found is more to your liking than what you thought you were looking for in the ďŹ rst place? Some people call this luck or good fortune. I don’t believe in luck but I do believe that good preparation and being open to opportunity when it presents itself leads to good fortune. When we are able to accept new ideas and expose ourselves to more experiences we create our own world which can be better than the one we imagined. Others say that this is “hogwashâ€? and that our lives have a deďŹ ned path where one event leads to the next and nothing happens by accident. Serendipity happens to me all the time. Most recently ice ďŹ shing opened up my world. The Teacher wanted to introduce me to this sport but he had no idea of how afraid I am of ice. Ice is very scary to me. Every year someone falls through the ice and every year I make a mental note to NEVER go on the ice. I am actually a big chicken. So when I did decide to go ice ďŹ shing, I

was expecting the adventure to be boring but the whole experience was actually quite pleasant. Except for my feet almost freezing off, I actually discovered I enjoy ice ďŹ shing and during the trip caught myself a Walleye. Unfortunately, I let one of the Teacher’s ďŹ sh get away by accident. He was ok with my mistake but I did notice he pulled up the next two ďŹ sh on his own! Some of the people that live and work at Island View shared with me some of the things in life that they found turned out to be better than they could ever have imagined. Things like motherhood and children excelling more than they could ever have dreamed of or spouses and marriages greatly exceeding expectations. These are the big things in life but even the smaller discoveries like Zumba dancing, baking and friends topped the list. Jean, our longest resident at Island View said being involved in golf and curling introduced her to a better quality of life than she ever imagined for herself. Examples of serendipitous discoveries are all around us. Take for instance the development of penicillin when Alexander Fleming discovered that the

staphylococci bacteria culture he had neglected to clean up before going on vacation would not grow around mold on a plate. The anti-malarial drug, Quinine, was accidentally discovered when a South American Indian suffering from malaria and desperately needing to quench his thirst, unknowingly drank it from a small pool of water. Insulin was discovered as a treatment for diabetes, accidentally, as the result of removing a dog’s pancreas to determine what role the pancreas played in the digestive system. Sir Isaac Newton’s theories on gravity were an accidental discovery after watching an apple fall. In the words of American physicist Joseph Henry, “The seeds of great discoveries are constantly oating around us, but they only take root in minds well prepared to receive them.â€?

Man sentenced Decision-time in Pembroke for sex assaults Justice Ray to determine sentence for Dugald Jamieson after May 2010 death of Renfrew resident Carol-Anne Brunet

By STAFF

EMC News - John Paul Cloutier, 45, has received a jail sentence of five years in total following his conviction for sexual assaults occurring in 2009 when he was living in Arnprior. Cloutier, who had served 18 months in jail already, will spend two years less a day behind bars for his crimes. Cloutier was sentenced in Pembroke court Feb. 3. He had been charged with two counts of invitation to sexual exploitation, one count of sexual interference, one count of invitation to sexual touching, two counts of child luring, one count of sexual assault, three counts of forcible confinement, one count of facilitate breach of a young person and 16 counts of breach of recognizance. The incidents occurred in the years 2007 to 2009 and involved victims aged 13 to 17 who were visiting the accused or his residence.

Public asked to rate local OPP services EMC News - A Community Satisfaction Survey is currently underway to solicit public opinions about the services the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachments deliver to communities throughout the province. The Community Satisfaction Survey is a telephone survey that randomly selects members of the public (16 years or older) who live in Ontario. The survey takes about five to seven minutes to complete and is strictly voluntary. Those contacted and willing to participate are asked about issues such as highway safety, policing traffic matters such as the RIDE program, service delivery and even how the OPP investigates crime and enforces the law. The information provided by those surveyed is being collected by a research consultant, R.A. Malatest & Associates that has been retained by the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. The information is treated confidentially and the names, telephone numbers, and addresses of those surveyed will not be included in the survey results provided to the OPP. Once the survey is complete, the results will be used in the OPP Business Plan and Annual Report. The information will be useful in helping the OPP set out goals and objectives to improve on the services it delivers to communities throughout Ontario. The surveys are done throughout the province annually. They are expected to be completed by March 31.

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Dugald Jamieson will learn next Tuesday in Pembroke Superior Court the length of the jail term he’ll receive after pleading guilty to manslaughter following the May 2010 death of Renfrew resident Carol-Anne Brunet. The sentencing hearing before Justice Timothy Ray took place early this week in the Pembroke court. Case law supporting the arguments of Assistant Crown Attorney Peter Hageraats and defence co-counsel Richard Morris and Victoria Legris were delivered Monday and Tuesday respectively. Jamieson, who was living in Renfrew, has been imprisoned since Brunet’s death in her own Hall Avenue apartment in Renfrew. Jamieson was described as a callous, insensitive individual who regularly mistreated and abused Brunet, despite orders of probation to keep his distance from her after a history of abuse. Hageraats extensively documented his history of criminal and violent behaviour. Co-defence counsel Morris, on the other hand, has painted a somewhat different picture of Jamieson, 49, who stood quietly watching the proceedings, between a thick pane of clear glass at his back and the lawyers a few feet in front of him. The Crown Attorney’s office is seeking 12 to 15 years in jail time. Defence counsel is asking for seven years, with credit for the 632 days already served. Morris noted normal sentences for aggravated domestic manslaughter run eight to 12 years. The only witness in the two-day hearing was Ottawa Hospital forensic pathologist Dr. Christopher Milroy. He was on the stand for more than an hour answering questions and describing how Brunet, 54, died of peritonitis, an

DR. CHRISTOPHER MILROY inflammation of the bowel that allowed her to walk around, although in some discomfort, for more than a day after receiving a six-inch gash in her stomach during a scuffle with Jamieson. Typically, people suffering from peritonitis do not die because they receive medical attention in ample time, said Dr. Milroy. Testimony by various witnesses suggested that she and Jamieson did not appear to know how potentially fatal the kitchen knife could be. The most emotional segment of the two-day sentencing hearing involved the victim impact statements. The statements by Brunet’s son, Tyler, and Brunet’s sister, Debbie Davidson, were read by Hageraats. The final victim impact statement was read by Brunet’s daughter, Stephanie Brunet. Stephanie also read a small statement from her own daughter, Shantica, which

was a writing project for school, as a letter written to her grandmother (Brunet). Shantica’s first words were, “Dear Nanny, I miss you,� before writing how she enjoyed being on her computer, how she was pleased the summer break was only 13 days away, but that she still really missed her nanny. Daughter Stephanie had the longest victim statement, in which she said people did not see her mom for the good person she was. Relating to the abuse she has suffered in her life, Stephanie said “the criminal system has failed my mother� and that “deep down I don’t think Dugald is at all remorseful.� Sister Debbie Davidson noted that Carol-Anne was her only sister, and that her sister had left home at 16, had been the maid of honour at her wedding, that she’d talk to anyone, and that she was a very happy person when married to Andre until Carol-Anne’s husband’s death from a heart attack in his mid 30s. “She was never the same,� after that, said Davidson’s statement. She said her sister also volunteered for the Salvation Army and Meals and Wheels, and that she was taken advantage of by a future partner, and lost her savings and, increasingly, her self-esteem. “She was a perfect victim for a violent and abusive man,� said Davidson’s statement, which noted that once Jamieson became a friend he could do whatever he wanted to her. Son Tyler noted he had become “very angry� at his mother for her drinking and abusive relationship, but later grew to understand what she was going through. He wrote that he wished she would have asked for help. “There are so many things I would like to ask her, like why she stayed with him (Dugald).�

Almonte or Renfrew?

First-place Packers still waiting to see who their first-round opponent will be By JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

EMC Sports - The Arnprior Packers still don’t know who their first-round playoff opponent will be. The Packers, with some of their veterans missing, kept Renfrew’s hopes of finishing third alive Sunday by falling 6-4 to the Timberwolves. The loss ended the Packers’ unbeaten streak at 21. Arnprior, runaway leaders in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Valley Division, had stretched the streak to 21 with a 4-2 win over Stittsville at home last Friday. That loss and an 8-4 defeat in Ottawa Tuesday erased any chances the Royals had of making the playoffs. Arnprior will either meet Renfrew or Almonte, whoever finishes fourth, in the first round. While Renfrew trails Almonte by three points after weekend action, they can catch the Thunder if they defeat both Shawville and Stittsville and Almonte loses or ties its final game Friday to Gatineau. The Timberwolves won Sunday in Arnprior when Jordan Dempster snapped a 4-4 deadlock on the power-play with

8:51 remaining, then scored later into an empty net. The two third-period goals completed a hat trick for Dempster. J.J. Hart, Anthony Rea and Colin Bradbury added singles for Wolves. Cody Janes, Parker Davies, Matt Crozier and Casey Doner scored for Arnprior. The Packers were missing several key players, including Taylor Collins, Braedon Moffatt, Shane Smith, Ryan Eady and Teddy Suckow. The Wolves outshot Arnprior 48-30, keeping Packers back-up goalkeeper Mike Cheslock busy all night. On Friday, Casey Doner broke a 1-1 tie late in the second period and the Packers scored two more at 12:05 and 14:09 of the third to beat the Royals. Parker Davis, Stephen Cooney and Dan Weir had the other Arnprior goals, while Collins had two helpers. Cheslock made 33 of 35 saves, as the Packers outshot Stittsville 46-35. The Packers finish off their season with two make-up games with Perth this week. Arnprior were scheduled to host the Blue Wings Wednesday (after press deadline)

and will play in Perth this Friday. Playoffs are expected to begin next week. ALL-STAR GAMES, AWARDS

For the first time in recent memory, the Valley Division won both all-star contests over the Metro Division Saturday in Nepean, 7-6 in the prospects game and 16-12 in the main game. At the banquet that followed the games, the Packers received three Valley Division awards. Shane Smith was named defenseman of the year, Matt Couvrette top goaltenders and John Hill manager of the year. Forward David Hobbs of Shawville was named the Valley Division’s most valuable player. Renfrew’s Scott Conroy was top rookie, Perth’s Brett Madigan most gentlemanly player, and Stittsville’s Alex Hulford the top scholastic player. Shawville’s Chris Byrne was chosen top coach, Doug Miller and Tim Leblanc of the Timberwolves were top trainers, and Shawville supporter Keith Graham won the Ken Campbell Trophy for his volunteer work.

Volunteers encouraged to help with international broomball tourney BY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC Sports – The call is out once again, asking for Arnprior’s legions of volunteers to step forward for another major sporting event. The World Broomball Championships will be held at the Nick Smith Centre and in nearby communities from Oct. 29 to Nov. 3.

Town parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur is hoping folks will sign up at the website www.2012worldbroomball.ca . “We are looking for volunteers. Any event we’ve had we’ve had numerous volunteers come out of the woodwork,� Arthur said. “It (gives volunteers) a sense of community, a chance to meet people

from all over the world.� This year between 1,450 and 1,500 participants from 14 countries will participate. Games will be played in Beckwith, Carleton Place, Almonte, Pakenham and Arnprior. The championship game will be played in Arnprior. Volunteers are needed do stats,

registration, help during evening banquets, act as runners and drivers, do sales, and more. If a team of some 15 to 20 members plays in town, Arthur explained, they spend the day here touring and likely eating and shopping at local businesses. Letters of invitation are going to the school boards, inviting schools to

“adopt� a country and have students learn about the nation, then invite players in to share a bit of their culture. The world championship builds on Arnprior’s experience hosting the national championship a few years ago. “We can’t get much higher than the world’s,� Arthur said.

EMC Sports - Calabogie Ski Racing Club, in partnership with Calabogie Peaks, hosted a well-run and well-attended K1 Speed Camp from Feb. 2 to 4, culminating in a GS race Feb. 5. A Speed Camp is set up to allow the athletes to train in a safe environment. Because the designated run is closed off from the rest of the hill, the racers can ski to their maximum speed as safely as possible. Some of the 11- and 12-year-old racers reached speeds of 65 km an hour. The athletes also learned how to pick a better line to get closer to the gates, and how to ski Super G and GS. The participants, who came from ski clubs all over Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, thoroughly enjoyed themselves and improved their skiing technique at the same time. Calabogie’s athletes participated in the speed camp and in the race on Sunday. The girls had solid runs. Out of 52 competitors, Lauren Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew posted her best ever time, coming in eighth after the first run. However, a crash on the second run prevented her from hanging on to that place. Sophia Tan of Kanata came in 19th, Jessica Earle of Greely was 39th, and Alexandra Kerr of Kemptville was 40th.. Jenna Wissing of Kanata, Emma Schreider of Kingston and Lauren Ferguson of Carp. also raced. In the boys division, racing against 65 competitors, Alex Duff

ST. PATRICK’S DAY DINNER & VARIETY SHOW FUNDRAISER FOR ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM’S ROOF FUND

Hugh Russel came out strong and won all three of his matches, giving him a firstplace finish. Brian Sheeler is also a member of the wrestling club and his experience showed as he won his matches, two by a pin, giving him a first-place finish. Coach Kevin Mayhew was very happy with the way all the Walter Zadow wrestlers worked hard and showed great sportsmanship. Cole Nichols of the Arnprior club in just his second tournament came up against some strong, experienced wrestlers. Cole’s wrestling improved with each match and by the last bout he was limiting the points scored against him and was able to score a point. John Dolan, a member of the high school team, lost his first match but won his second with strong two rounds of wrestling giving him a second-place finish. CADET OPEN

The weekend of Feb 3-4 was the Ontario Juvenile/Cadet Open in St. Catharine’s. Darren Mayhew competed in the open as a second-year Cadet. The tournament had over 500 wrestlers from all across Ontario competing in the two age groups. There were 23 wrestlers in Darren’s weight class. He lost his first match to a wrestler from London, and then won his next two matches easily. At this point, Darren needed to win two more matches to continue to the next day and finish in the top six. This was not to be, as his next match was tough, with Darren winning the first round, losing the second and third rounds just by a couple of points. He did finish in the top 10 in this weight class. Darren as a club member is now training for his participation in the Ontario Winter Games in Barrie on March 8-10. But before that competition he and his fellow high school wrestlers were to compete in Kingston on Feb 15 at EOSSAA (Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association). The top two wrestlers in each weight class then travel to Peterborough on March 5-7 for OFSAA. This competition has close to 1,000 wrestlers participating.

Reaffirmed PC leader promises to learn from mistakes: Yakabuski Party re-energized by passionate Hudak speech: MPP Canada. In what the local MP called his most powerful address to Progressive Conservatives since becoming leader, Hudak recognized the mistakes made in the last election and committed to learning from them and moving forward to bring a positive PC alternative to the McGuinty Liberals. “I was inspired by the positive mood among party members and the message from our leader at this weekend’s AGM.

Labour market survey launched to help firms with worker retention For the next eight weeks, project staff will be contacting local employers via telephone to request their participation in the survey. Depending on the size of their staff, the survey should take between 10 and 30 minutes. In-person appointments are available by request for larger employers. Questions are in relation to workforce composition, recruitment practices and workforce planning. “The availability of this information will play a key role in youth and talent retention and attraction in Renfrew and Lanark counties,” said project manager Keanan Hunt. “Getting the right information is a team effort and so we are requesting the express cooperation of employers in both the public and private sectors. If you get a call from us, please take the time to participate in the survey. “It is only by helping each other that we will succeed in strengthening our local workforce and economy.”

EMC News - The Labour Market Group is conducting a survey of selected employers across Renfrew and Lanark Counties from Feb. 8 to March 30. The goal of the survey is to gather local information to forecast employment opportunities in skilled occupations over the next 24 months. “This is information that employment service providers and guidance counsellors have been in need of for years,” said executive director Matt LeMay. “With the support of the Government of Canada’s Youth Awareness Program, we finally have the opportunity to gather in-depth, local information and translate it into a useful tool for youth, jobseekers and those who support them in making informed career and training decisions.” As an added benefit, employers should see a reduction in the gap between the positions they need to fill and the skills of job seekers applying over the next two years.

between the party and our members was frank and constructive about the lessons learned from the October election” Yakabuski said. With 1,600 passionate members present, the meeting broke the PC party record for biggest turnout following a provincial election, noted Yakabuski. Even the hard-to-impress Toronto Star recognized the excitement at the convention in postings to Twitter, he added.

“In his speech to the party faithful our leader gave the most powerful, passionate, and personal address I’ve heard him deliver. His commitment to speak from the heart about issues that matter is exactly what people have asked for, and was very well received,” Yakabuski said. Coming out of the meeting the Ontario PC party has a reinvigorated leader, a new president and party executive determined to put forward a positive plan for the province and ensure that the party is prepared for victory in the next election, concluded Yakabuski.

Yakabuski said Hudak had “his complete support” for his vow to party members at the meeting that the PC party would learn from its mistakes and offer a clear, conservative vision for restoring Ontario’s economy and stature in

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

PARACHUTE CLUB The Nick Smith Centre was humming with activity on the Feb. 4-5 weekend as Arnprior hosted 55 Beaver Scouts in the first Algonquin Hills Beaver Sleepover. There were scouters from Deep River, Laurentien Hills-Pembroke, 1st WhiteWater, Eganville, Arnprior and a couple from 23rd Nepean. The gathering began with a swim in the pool Saturday at noon. Then the Beavers went into the hall for a lunch followed by an afternoon of crafts, games (such as the parachute game above), a little outdoors fun then supper. After supper they enjoyed an indoor campfire followed by a movie. Then on Sunday there was breakfast followed by more crafts , games and then a visit from Little Rays Reptiles (left) and the event closed at 11 a.m. when a tired but happy group of Beavers returned home.

Hoffman making impact in second season with B-Sens By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Mike Hoffman is eager to embrace the challenge. Fresh off playing a key role in the Binghamton Senators’ charge to a Calder Cup crown last season, the 22-year-old native of Kitchener, Ont., feels ready to assume a greater role in his second season with the Ottawa Senators’ primary affiliate. “We’ve got a young team,” said Hoffman, who blossomed into a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League star after going undrafted and unclaimed by any team in the Ontario Hockey League. “I think everyone’s got a little bit more (responsibility) on them, including myself. I want to be scoring more goals and getting more points to help the team win as much as I can.” Hoffman’s pedigree certainly suggests a guy built for offence. In his final two junior seasons, he racked up 98 goals and 179 points, helping the Drummondville Voltigeurs reach the Memorial Cup in 2008-09 before earning QMJHL most valuable player honours with the Saint John Sea Dogs the following season. In between those two campaigns, the Senators made the 5-11, 175-pound centre a fifth-round pick (130th overall) in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. They’re hoping Hoffman turns into one of those late-round gems down the road, but some grooming down on the farm will come first. “(Hoffman) is a super skilled guy with top-end speed, and he’s wiry strong,” said Randy

Lee, the Senators’ director of hockey operations and player development. “He’s got a great one-time shot. He has to be an impact player every time he plays down there (in Binghamton) and he can do that. He can be a difference maker.” Life in the American Hockey League hasn’t always been rosy for Hoffman. He spent time during his rookie pro season with the Elmira Jackals of the East Coast Hockey League and started the Calder Cup playoffs as a healthy scratch. But by the end of the B-Sens’ title run, head coach Kurt Kleinendorst was calling Hoffman his most improved player over the course of the post-season. “This guy was a top guy, the MVP of the Quebec league, so for him it was an adjustment,” said Lee. “He was patient and he waited for his opportunity in the playoffs last year … he carved out a bigger role for himself. It was a good experience for him and he made a good contribution to the championship win.” Hoffman called the Calder Cup run “a good confidence builder for me.” Though his aim is to become a “complete twoway player,” Hoffman also knows what’s brought him to the point. “I’m going to have to be an

offensive player, someone who’s putting pucks in the net and putting up points as much as I can,” said Hoffman, the B-Sens’ second-leading scorer behind

Rob Klinkhammer. “I definitely want to play in the NHL someday. For now, I just want to get better every single day I go to the rink.”

WASHINGTON CAPITALS Wednesday, Feb. 22, 7 p.m., TSN The Capitals are in a huge dogfight with the Florida Panthers for Southeast Division supremacy – not to mention a Stanley Cup playoff berth. While Alex Ovechkin remains this team’s most dynamic offensive talent, he’s nowhere near the 60-goal scorer he once was a few years back. The Caps’ attack is also hurting with the loss of centre Nicklas Backstrom to a concussion over a month ago. That ramps up the pressure on

the likes of Alexander Semin and Brooks Laich to produce more goals. Dennis Wideman provides help in that area from the back end, along with John Carlson. In goal, Tomas Vokoun provides Washington with steady, dependable play.

BOSTON BRUINS Saturday, Feb. 25, 7 p.m., CBC Though their play has been somewhat average of late, the Stanley Cup champion Bruins are still a formidable force and a top candidate to repeat in June. This is a team loaded with offensive threats, led by the versatile Patrice Bergeron and the bruising Milan Lucic. Young phenom Tyler Seguin is having a breakout season in his second full season in Boston, while Chris Kelly is putting up career numbers and Brad Marchand

remains a perpetual pest who’s also a major impact player. Zdeno Chara is the big man in many ways on the Boston blue line. In Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask, the Bruins boast arguably the best goaltending tandem in the NHL.

Shake the Foundation Kidney Foundation Feb. 25 fundraiser in Renfrew

Almost five years ago, Craig Dunbar suffered a bad ankle sprain playing softball. Good thing, it turns out, because anti-inflammatory medication caused a reaction, which caused him to visit his doctor, which turned into a lifesaving diagnosis of impending kidney failure. Two days later, he started undergoing dialysis treatment. For a while, Dunbar did his dialysis sessions at Renfrew Victoria Hospital in the town where he’s had friends and family for years, including his parents, Patrick and Donna Dunbar, who have since moved to Carp. While Craig, 39, waits for a kidney transplant, he does nightly dialysis treatment at home in Ottawa and continues to be a volunteer supporter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Feb. 25, he’ll be in Renfrew for the Shake the Foundation fundraising dance and auction at the armouries. He’s a main organizer of the fundraiser for the foundation’s eastern Ontario chapter, but notes he has had help from Renfrew-area cousins Bonita Leskie-Landreau, Tammy LeskieKelly, and friends Georgia Quinn and Kellie Desjardins. Six bands and guest fiddler Terri-Lynn Mahusky of Renfrew have committed to play at the armouries, to further research and other support services for people with kidney disease. Performers for the Shake the Foundation fundraiser are solo acoustic guitarist Mike Geraghty, the two-man acoustic guitar set of Jeff Callery and John Wilberforce, and bands Limit, Steve Stacey and the Stump Splitters, Roadhouse, and Faster than Plaid. The latter is

an Eganville-based band consisting of Darren Caldwell, Justin Pallen and Dylan Panke. “I reached out to a bunch of musicians and they really jumped on board,” said Dunbar, who captains the Spare Parts team. “I am very passionate about this cause.” Spare Parts barely beat out the Ottawa General Hospital in a friendly fundraising competition for the kidney foundation last year, and his team is looking to win again, with the help of the Feb. 25 fundraiser. Last year, Spare Parts raised $13,997.26, to earn bragging rights as the foundation’s top fundraiser in the eastern region. This year, its goal is $20,000. Although the foundation is research-focused, Dunbar says effective fundraising will help the foundation to extend its activities, like peer counselling and friendly visits to patients in dialysis units. Supporters include about 20 businesses from Renfrew, Calabogie and Burnstown, among them Sleddz Smokin’ BBQ, which will donate a generous portion of its food sales to the fundraiser. Tickets are available at a few local businesses — Rick’s Hobbies & Aquaria and Monalisa Day Spa in Renfrew, and the Burnstown post office. Renfrew-area businesses have contributed door prizes, but organizers are still looking for a few more quality items to auction off. “I feel a strong desire to raise as much money as I can,” said Dunbar, who has also helped co-ordinate fundraisers through the Stittsville fire station, for whom he has been a firefighter 16 years. “Without dialysis I wouldn’t be here. I refer to it as part-time life support.” The Feb. 25 fundraiser runs 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. For more details, see www.sparepartsfundraising.com.

ENTERTAINMENT

Your Community Newspaper

The Mississippi Hy-Liners have entertained in a variety of public venues. They welcome new participants.

Photo courtesy Hyacinth Chatterton

All ages encouraged to step it up with line dancing EMC Events - The Line dancing program offered by Mississippi Mills Recreation and Culture Department is proof-positive that all participants - whatever their ages - can have a lot of fun while keeping fit. Just ask the Grade 3-4 class from Pakenham Public School, or some Grade 9 students at Arnprior District High School, or the adults and seniors from the Almonte Community Centre and Pakenham’s Stewart Community Centre, who all line dance on a regular weekly basis with instructor Hyacinth Chatterton of Arnprior. They will give you an idea of what attracts them to this dance form, and why they keep returning for classes week after week. The elementary students say they like the different kinds of music, the neat new steps they learn and the assignments they have requiring them to teach dances to others at home. The high schoolers enjoy the ‘cool music’ and the chance to add individual touches to the dances after they have mastered new routines. And the adults appreciate the mixture of

dances - not only do they review the standard, familiar dances, but in addition they have a chance to learn the popular new ones. The Mississippi Mills program participants, known as ‘The Mississippi Hy-Liners’, have logged many extra hours practising for, and performing at, fundraisers and other local events. For example last fall, led by Chatterton, they linedanced at St. John Chrysostom Church Hall in Arnprior, for a fundraiser, Down Memory Lane, on behalf of the Galilee Centre. Those who attended that function still recall the fun they had when they accepted the group’s typical invitation for the audience to join them in the event’s closing dances. These enthusiastic line dancers have also brought Christmas cheer each year to the residents of the Almonte General Hospital, as well as to the senior citizens who reside at Fairview Manor adjoining the hospital. After their most recent performance in December 2011, Gerry Huddleston of the hospital spoke for the staff and residents when

he thanked The Hy-Liners for “providing such great entertainment for everyone”, and looked forward to their next visit. The group plans to continue this tradition and have already been requested to perform again in December 2012. It is recognized by many professionals that when aspects of fun and relevancy are added to any routine, the participants receive increased benefits. With this in mind, Calvin Murphy, the recreation co-ordinator of Mississippi Mills Recreation Department and Chatterton both work together continually to ‘tweak’ the program, so that it continues to offer options for everyone wishing to participate. Firstly, all levels of dancers are welcome Beginners, Novices and Intermediates. Next, those whose schedules do not permit them to sign up for a complete session can still reap the benefits of the program by taking advantage of the ‘drop-in’ system, available for the sessions at both sites - Wednesdays at the Almonte Community Centre and Thursdays at the Stewart Community Centre.

In addition, the timing has evolved so that it is now identical at each centre, from 1:30 to 3: p.m. This offers an easy transition for those who might need make-up classes for ones they have missed, or for those who simply wish to attend in both places. Finally, the fact that participants do not need dancing partners in order to join the programs (as some other dance-forms do) makes this activity more accessible to more individuals. The program attracts people from various communities, including Arnprior, Pakenham, Kinburn, Kanata, Carp, Carleton Place and Almonte. Any adults and seniors interested in joining the Mississippi Mills Linedance Program can still attend the current winter session, which continues into March. Registration is also open for the spring session, which runs from the beginning of April to the end of May. For both sessions, participants are invited to contact the Town of Mississippi Mills at 613256-1077, ext. 21, or Chatterton at 613-6230976.

Raspberry Jam puts a new twist on homemade buns EMC Lifestyle - These baked rolls are similar to cinnamon buns, but they’re made with raspberry jam instead of the usual sugar filling. They’re delicious, and very easy and quick to prepare, particularly if you mix the dough in a food processor. Dough 2 cups flour 1 tbsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. white sugar 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 cup buttermilk Filling 1 tbsp. soft butter or margarine 3 tbsp. raspberry jam Before you start, lightly grease a 9” round cake pan. To make the dough in a food processor, measure the dry ingredients into the processor bowl. Process for 5 seconds to mix the ingredients evenly throughout the flour Add the oil and buttermilk, and process until the mixture forms a ball. This will take less than a minute. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface, and knead 4 times. Part of the kneading has already been done by the mixing action of the processor. If you are using a mixing bowl rather than a food pro-

Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

cessor, combine the dry ingredients in the bowl. Add the oil and buttermilk, and stir until blended. Turn out on a lightly floured surface, and knead 10 to 12 times. After kneading the dough, shape it into a ball, then roll it out with a rolling pin on a lightly-floured surface to make a rectangle 15”x 10”. For the filling, spread the softened butter or margarine over the dough. Drop the raspberry jam in 3 mounds spaced equally down the long center line of the rectangle. Spread the jam to within 1/4” of the edges of the dough. Roll up the rectangle tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the seam to seal. With a sharp knife, cut the roll into 10 slices, each about 1” wide. Arrange the slices, cut side up, in the prepared pan. You’ll be able to fit 7 or 8 around the edge of the pan without crowding them, leaving the last ones to go in the center.

Bake at 400F for 25 to 30 minutes,. If the tops start to brown before the time is up, cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil. When done, remove the pan from the oven. Set it on a cake rack, and let cool for 5 minutes. To transfer the rolls to a serving plate, start by placing a cake rack over the top of the pan. Using pot holders, hold the pan and rack together so they don’t shift. Flip everything over so the cake rack is on the bottom. With pot holders, lift the pan off the rolls. The buns will be upside down on the rack. Now, place a serving plate over the bottom of the buns. Hold the plate and cake rack so they don’t move, and flip everything over again. You’ll end up with an attractive circle of raspberryfilled rolls on the plate ready to serve. Makes 10 buns.

IN MEMORIAM

THANK YOU The family of the late James Dorion would like to express sincere gratitude to friends, neighbours, and members of the health care system who showed us such care and compassion, both to Jim during his long illness and to his loved ones as we walked this journey together. A special thank you to his nephrologist, Dr. Nicole Delbrouck, who cared for Jim every step of the way in his long battle with renal failure and to the wonderful staff at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital (PRI and Dialysis Units). To Dr. McCarthy, Dr. Becker and the staff at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital who were involved in Jim’s care during his final days and to Laurie Herbert for her compassionate guidance through some difficult decision making processes. Thank you to the CCAC (PSW Melanie) and to Seniors at Home (driver Wayne). A special thanks to our wonderful neighbours: Pat (who would suddenly appear to clean our driveway) and Trish for her kind words at the service and whose friendship is a treasured gift. Thank you, Ken, for all those times you took Jim for drives and “shopping” trips, even as body and mind were failing. Those outings meant so much to him. Thank you Pastor John Jacobs and Rev. Allen Downey (brother-in-law) who conducted the service; to our dear, long time friend Rick Richardson for his beautiful gift of music; and to grandsons, Ben, Andy, and Ethan, brother Fred, and friends Ken and Clarence who carried Jim to his final resting place. Our appreciation to the Boyce Funeral Home for their services, Danny Coleman (After Care) and to all those wonderful, caring people whose paths we have crossed along this difficult journey and who prayed for us, encouraged us and helped in so many ways. Treasured and appreciated are the calls, cards, emails, visits, offers of assistance and charitable donations made in Jim’s memory. Your kindness will always be remembered. ((&&(*

In loving memory of a dear son, brother and uncle, Jack Foy, who passed away February 20, 2011.

Gone are the days we used to share, But in our hearts, you’re always there. Never more than a thought away, Loved and remembered every day. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, What would we give to hear your voice, And see your face again. I cannot bring the old days back, Your smile I cannot see. I can only treasure the memories, Of days that used to be. Sadly missed by, Mom & Dad Lynn, Randy & Delaney

ROFFEY, EDWIN In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away February 20, 2010. In a quiet country graveyard, Where the gentle breezes blow, Lies the one I love so dearly, That I lost two years ago. When the words of love blow softly, And whisper that only you can hear, Know that I miss and love you, And wish that you were here. And though our family chain has broken, And nothing is the same, Know that God calls us one by one, And the chain will link again. Always in our thoughts, With Love, Wife Lillian E and Family

To Dr. King and her staff for all your kindness and support. Sue

In memory of Marlene Windle who passed away February 22, 2012. Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartaches, When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. You meant so very much to us, Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. The special years will not return, When we were all together, But with the love within our hearts, You will walk with us forever. Sadly missed by Mother, sisters and brothers

My Precious Love Sometimes I tell myself, that you’re not really gone. I feel your tender touch and no longer feel alone. I see us walking hand in hand like we use to do. It’s hard for me to accept Denise That your life on earth is through. There were so many dreams we had not yet fulfilled, All the hopes of a future that we were going to build. All our friends and family have been very kind, They try hard to ease my broken heart, And my troubled mind. But how can my heart be mended, When it has broken in two? Part of my heart is still on earth, The other part left with you. It is hard to see tomorrow, When I can’t accept today, Because the “Love of My Life” Has been taken away. I will always miss you, Sweetheart, Time will not erase the pain, All the raw emotions of losing you, Words will never explain. I will cling to the warm feelings, You brought into my life, Maybe somehow it will ease my confusion, And emotional strife. Someday we will be rejoined in Heaven up above, But while I’m still on earth I will cherish, Every memory of our precious love. Somehow those precious memories Will have to carry me through, Until the time comes for us to walk hand in hand For all eternity…together…me and you. All my love… Chris This poem was written by: Teresa Shelton Bright (&&+)

Renfrew County forest company officials suggest it is a shame that local consumers buy so many foreign wood products in a county with so much forest of its own.

wood producers to use the Ontario Wood logo on their products. Wood used in a product associated with the logo must come from tree species that are indigenous or commercially grown in Ontario. The Ontario Forest Industries Association is the first licensed user of the new Ontario Wood logo. Ontario Wood is part of the government’s plan to create jobs and strengthen Ontario’s economy. Ontario’s wood is some of the most highly valued and high quality wood in the world, say local producers. The Ontario Wood logo was developed in collaboration with a range of wood industry producers and manufacturers.
