Council also announced that there kingston will not be an increase this year in the REGION water bills. .CA

.COM

Arnprior council has approved a town budget that balances keeping the tax increase relatively low with having enough money for necessary .COM and infrastructure projects putting aside money for a rainy day. The budget was approved unanimously by council Feb. 12 after three evenings of deliberations. The town will collect about 5.7 per cent more money from property taxpayers this year, but with growth and increased assessment factored in, it translates to a 1.33 per cent municipal tax rate. The municipal segment of the tax levy (property owners also pay county and education taxes) will result in an average tax increase of $3.86 per month or $46.34 per year for a residential home in Arnprior assessed at $190,000. Some properties that had an assessment increase larger than the average in town will have a bigger boost, while those under the average will see less impact.

Councillors considered a budget that would have had a zero per cent tax rate, but agreed with staff that it is prudent to approve a small increase so more money can.CAgo into reserves and into paying down the town’s debt. Two factors easing council’s budget challenge this year was the new OPP funding formula that save the town a significant amount ($276,000) on police costing and the revival of the recreation deal with McNabBraeside. With the previous two budgets and again with the 2015 budget, the Town has implemented a pay-as-yougo model, which has resulted in over $3 million in new contributions to reserves. A strong reserve policy is “vitally important” to avoid new borrowing to protect ratepayers from sharp tax and rate increases and fund future projects, says the town in announcing the budget approval.

the total to $46 (or $3.86 a month), Wildman explained. When the county rate, which is being dropped 2 per cent, and the education rate, which is expected to stay the same, are factored in, the bottom line increase will be about $50. Reid concentrated on explaining why the levy has been outpacing inflation for the past few years, saying it was justified and needed because Arnprior is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Eastern Ontario. “I would expect that it will continue to outpace inflation, although I hope only marginally, over the balance of this term,� he said. He said several factors contribute to the levy increase, including inflation (the town’s utility and fuel bills have grown to about $1 million a year), demand for service level increases such as weekly garbage pick-up and the expanded effort to promote economic development, and the drop in funding from upper tier governments. Reid pointed out that Arnprior’s municipal grant from the province has fallen by $270,000 over the past three years, with another decrease scheduled next year of $140,000. He also said the levy has also been affected by investment to expand the town’s water and sewer treatment plants in 2009-10. While much-needed, it pushed the town’s debt “considerably higher, than what is ideal,� he said, noting it costs over $1.8 million each year to service that debt. However, strict financial controls have been implemented to monitor and control this debt “and I am happy that we are currently paying down that debt by more than $1 million dollars in 2015,� he added. Reid said the levy increases are also going to bolster reserves to ensure the town has “adequate funds set aside for a rainy day� and there is money are available for important community building projects when needed. The Town has ambitious plans over the next four years, including important projects to renew Arnprior’s historic downtown core and to improve parks and waterfront at a cost of $10 million to $15 million. .CA

The pay-as-you-go budget is founded upon the principles of no new debt while paying down existing debt, as well as increased contributions to reserves of over $554,200, increased levels of investment into infrastructure renewal and a strategy to commence the downtown revitalization project in 2016. “The 2015 budget is a continuation of our past two budgets, laying the foundation for the Town’s financial sustainability and economic future,� said Mayor David Reid. “We are paying down existing debt, making net contributions to our reserves, while steadily increasing our levels of investment into the renewal of our roads and underground utilities. “We also have a very aggressive infrastructure renewal, but I am confident that we are on the right path to see it through,� said Reid. He noted that the town’s pay-as-you-go principle has allowed council to invest more than $10 million in the downtown revitalization. Reeve Walter Stack called the tax increase “very reasonable� while allowing council to boost reserves to undertake the needed projects around town. Total capital investments into infrastructure projects, equipment and design in 2015 will be $3,214,000. At council’s budget deliberations Feb. 10, Reid and town CAO Michael Wildman made presentations stressing the difference between the levy and the tax rate. Wildman noted while the tax levy is going up $404,915 or 5.7 per cent, $241,528 or 3.4 per cent will come from new growth in town. Considering the new developments come with extra costs for the town, such as more snow plowing, street lights, water and sewer services and even a new park to maintain, the extra revenue tends to be a “wash,� he said. The rest of the levy increase is based on the assessment rise on existing property-owners, estimated at $163,387 or 2.3 per cent. The added assessment will bring in about $26 more a year on the average $190,000 home and the 1.33 per cent tax rate boost will add another $20, bringing

Bridge Street tops list of road repairs this summer Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Arnprior council decided during budget deliberations which roads in town are to be rehabilitated this summer. In a bid to stave off costly reconstructions, town hall began a few years ago to boost the roads and sidewalks repair spending from $300,000 to this year’s $750,000. That means that as well the major reconstructions of Second Avenue, McGonigal Street West and Gary Crescent, there will be at least the top four projects on the wish list will get done, and depending on savings from the tender process another three could be added. Topping the list this year is Bridge Street, from Madawaska Boulevard to Third Avenue. It will be stripped and paved, with select curb and sidewalk repairs totalling $177,000. Arthur Street from Daniel Street to John

Ottawa Valley Tours

Findley Terrace is second. It will also be striped and paved, with new sidewalks on the north side and curb repairs done to the tune of $304,000. McNab Street from Fourth to Seventh avenues will see a shave and pave for $113,000. Mill Lane from Carss Street to Russell Street North will get a complete reconstruction for $48,000. SIDEWALKS

Sidewalks will see $100,000 worth of spot repairs (with a focus on trip hazards) including: Albert Street near the church, Daniel Street, Elgin Street West between Madawaska and Division streets, Edey Street, Jack Crescent, Madawaska Street and boulevard, Russell Street North by the public apartments, Sheffield Street, and Carss Street between McGonigal Street East and the dead end.

Those roads that could join the list this year include strip and paving to Carss Street from McGonigal Street East to the dead end for $50,000, Elizabeth Street from Arthur Street to the dead end for $17,500, and Isabella Street from Arthur Street to the dead end for $17,000. Town chief administrative officer Michael Wildman suggested technology is now in place to accurately determine which roads need work the most. It is based on laser analysis and traffic patterns. That removes the subjective will of any one politician getting their way when it comes to road repairs. Not listed above is McGonigal Street West, which will see a complete $533,000 sewer separation this year as well. It is part of the town’s five-year downtown revitalization plan. BUSINESSES AFFECTED

On the topic of road work, Mayor David Reid mused aloud about the problems merchants will

TM

face in the coming years. At one point it was noted that the corner of McGonigal and John streets will have four years of construction work. It prompted Reid to ask town staff to examine the possibility of squeezing the plan’s timeline. He said it may cost too much to have the plan done in fewer years, but in the name of sparing businesses and shoppers the inconvenience of dust and noise, he believes it is worth a look. Reeve Walter Stack agreed; if it can be done quicker yet remain cost-efficient, council should know that. Wildman said businesses will be impacted, no doubt, but that mitigation measures will be sought. And all businesses are being consulted. Among the other capital expenditures planned for this year are the $180,000 Madawaska River water main crossing and bedding replacement, $50,000 for the design for phase one of the Daniel Street water main replacement and $272,000 for the Nick Smith Centre pool piping and resurfacing overhaul.

Municipalities deny humane society $100-K request Derek Dunn Derek.dunn@metroland.com

Neither area municipality will give the humane society anywhere near the amount it asked for, and now one is even considering other providers. The Arnprior and District Humane Society made presentations to both Arnprior and McNab-Braeside councils, asking for substantial grant increases this year or risk having the no-kill shelter shut down. It wanted $100,000 from both, split evenly, to go toward the almost $220,000 in expenses. The municipalities will keep the status quo; the town offers $15,000 and the township even less. Part of the problem at the outset was the humane society’s inability to present accurate numbers. It eventually pulled together figures but still couldn’t offer a compelling case to the cash-strapped municipalities. Yes, the communities are growing and veterinary bills are rising, but it wasn’t enough. Councillors accepted the service provided, especially the pound aspect, but when it came to

how to deal with strays and nuisance animals, none stood up to say the expensive no-kill policy is worthy of defending with dollars. At one point, township Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden suggested donating dog tag revenue of almost $13,000. It would encourage more owners to buy tags knowing the money goes to the shelter, he reasoned. But eventually the idea lost traction, even with him. “This particular year we can’t afford to do this,” said McNab-Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett. “I’m a dog lover too, but if they need $50,000 to solve their problems – I don’t know.” Arnprior Coun. Frank Dugal said some increase should be given. “Obviously not what they are asking for. The numbers don’t seem to add up,” Dugal said. “I would be in favour of a minimal increase, like the cost-o- living. Then have a dialogue to see what is expected and what we are willing to pay for.” Reeve Walter Stack advised the humane society to do a complete financial review. He added that anecdotal evidence suggests adoption policies are too severe. He relayed the story of someone who wanted

a puppy but failed a home inspection. The person got the same breed for the same price from Newfoundland, shipping costs included. “This is an issue in the community,” Stack said. Mayor David Reid said a more transparent and consistent agreement is needed. He, too, is calling for a dialogue and that maybe in the end the town will start charging a fee for dog tags; and that the money can go to the shelter.

“I think we need to get to the bottom of this fairly quickly,” he said. “We need to get together fairly soon.” Reid asked town staff to review the relationship and prepare for entering talks. Chief administrative officer Michael Wildman asked if the review would include looking at other pound options. “It is standard to do so. Look at all options,” Reid said.

Scooter stolen from Arnprior apartment OPP officers are investigating the theft of a scooter from an apartment building on Sullivan Crescent in Arnprior. The OPP report the red and silver gas-powered scooter was last seen Friday, Feb. 6 in the late evening. The OPP are investigating the theft of a bundle of video games from The Source in Arnprior. The thief stole the games on Feb. 5 and the incident was captured on video surveillance. An IPhone was stolen from

A Caregiver’s Story Before being introduced to The Grove Nursing Home daytime program, 68 year old Ben* had nowhere to turn. His wife, Diane, had been battling Parkinson’s disease for over 20 years and had recently developed Dementia. As her mind and body continued to deteriorate, her condition completely consumed both of their lives. Taking care of Diane became a full time job. Ben found that he was so focused on his wife that he wasn’t able to take care of the other needs in his life. Work began to pile up and he found that his mood had worsened and his temper was getting shorter and shorter. He knew that it was time to reach out for help. Diane now attends The Grove daytime program three days a week. From 10 until 3, she is able to make friends and utilize her social skills while taking part in a suite of fun and interactive activities. Ben has really noticed a change in his wife as he has begun to see her bubbly personality again. Ben has also been able to reap the benefits of this experience. With five extra hours in the day, he is able to accomplish so

He is able to do things for himself that he hasn’t been able to do in years. With this break in the day, Ben is now able to enjoy the time that he does get with his wife. The experience has drastically improved their relationship. Ben says that without the help of the supportive staff and volunteers at the Grove, he wouldn’t be able to function and that he wouldn’t be able to go on. This program allows the couple to continue living together in their home, and that is the greatest gift that they could ask for. R0013068117

Mayor grows cross at town paying for school guards Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

It has become a familiar refrain, but one town Mayor David Reid won’t tire from uttering. Why is it, he asks, can school boards spend millions of dollars transporting students who live inconveniently far from schools, but can’t find a few thousand to ensure the safety of kids who walk. The issue came up during Arnprior’s recent budget deliberations. Every year, it seems, Reid gets a little more irked at the idea of the town paying some $45,000 for crossing guards that are almost exclusively used for getting students back and forth across the busiest streets. He said small municipalities have small budgets; some goes toward making streets safe (smooth roads, snow-cleared sidewalks); there is little justification for school boards to contribute next to nothing.

For instance, the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board pays just one-third of the salary of two guards. The Renfrew County District School Board pays nothing. There are six guards in town working 75 hours a week in total. “It’s shameful,” Reid said. “I don’t think it’s fair and I don’t think it’s right.” Nevertheless, the town set aside $45,000 in this year’s budget to pay the crossing guards. Jake Davies, communications officer at the public board, said the board does not have a comment on the issue, but that the Ministry of Education expects money to be directed to its core mandate to educate the students in its care. According to the Highway Traffic Act, crossing guards are the responsibility of each municipality. Council made a point of thanking the guards for agreeing to do the important work they do.

The Arnprior Public Library Board will be issuing rebates to McNab-Braeside patrons who paid for library service into 2015. An agreement for service has been in place since the start of this year. Those patrons who paid for a 12-month household membership in 2014 are eligible for a pro-rated rebate. As an example, a household which paid for service in May 2014 would be eligible for a rebate of $20; Memberships purchased in September 2014 would be eligible for a $40 rebate.

Patrons can request their rebates in person, by email (library@arncap.com) or by telephone at 613-623-2279. The library will be issuing cheques between Friday, Feb. 20 and Friday, March 20. “If patrons choose not to request their pro-rated rebates, the remaining money will be used to upgrade public access computers in the library,” said library board chair Susan Kirk. Registration is now open for the library’s full line-up of March Break children’s programs. Details are available on the library’s website, or pick up a calendar the next time you stop by the library.

Almonte doctor resigns, admits failed abortions to discipine committee akulp@Perprint.ca

ARNPRIOR MOM SPEAKS OUT

When her son was born, labour and delivery complications saw him spending the first several weeks of his life at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Looking back, Lepack wonders if she should have questioned Prevost’s decisions

on her care a bit more, but chalked it up to first-time mom jitters. “I wonder if he could have handled the situation differently,” she said. “I thought he did okay, but I was a firsttime mom. Now that this (admission) has come out, it calls a few things into question … we think that our doctor will make the best possible decision and in some cases, he wasn’t making those best possible decisions.” Lepack is quick to point out that despite misgivings about Prevost’s choices, her experience at AGH was a very positive one. “The team at Almonte General Hospital was fantastic,” she remarked. “I love that hospital. I credit the AGH staff for making the right decisions after John was born and sending him to CHEO. I wouldn’t have had it any other way (than to deliver at AGH).” Prevost hadn’t been practicing medicine for more than a year, but did offer Botox and hair transplant services at his clinic. Prior to joining the AGH team, the Sudbury native received his medical training at the University of Ottawa and also taught there. He previously worked at the Montfort Hospital in Ottawa, Cornwall Regional Hospital, as well as Sudbury Regional Hospital.

Almonte obstetrician/gynecologist Dr. Michel Ronald Prevost has resigned after admitting to giving patients incorrect doses of medicine that resulted in the failed abortions of two pregnancies. The gynecologist had patients all over the area, including many in Arnprior and West Carleton. He acknowledged the claims while appearing before the discipline committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario in Toronto on Feb. 2. The hearing was to deal with charges of incompetence, professional misconduct and “failure to maintain the standard of practice of the profession” with 28 patients, according to the college. He was found guilty on all counts. According to a release from the college’s disciplinary committee “the facts admitted to are nothing short of appalling.” Prevost, who held a practice in Almonte from June 2005 to 2013, delivered hundreds of babies at Almonte General Hospital (AGH). After the college’s decision, he signed an undertaking stating he wouldn’t re-apply to practice medicine in Ontario and will never again practice obstetrics or gynecology.

Prevost offered non-surgical or medical abortions, with drugs being administered to terminate pregnancies. In the case of the two failed abortions, incorrect doses of the drugs methotrexate and misoprostol were used. The babies were born with fetal abnormalities. Arnprior’s Tiffany Lepack is a former patient of Prevost, who was in his care for about seven months prior to the birth of her first child, John, at AGH in June 2013. Prevost also delivered the baby and saw her through her post-natal appointments, but her family doctor was hesitant to refer her to him initially. “I’m shocked with the decision today and the fact that he admitted to some of the claims,” she said during an interview with this paper. “People go to doctors and put their trust in them and when something like this happens, it’s sad. It’s heartbreaking that this happened.”

Speed limit a poorly-hatched plan

S

peed kills. But stupidity runs rampant. The province is considering blanket legislation that would reduce the speed limit on many Ontario roads from 50 kilometres per hour to 40 km/h. If slower traffic is the goal, a law changing speed limits is laughable. Traffic experts in Ottawa and area regularly attend community meetings where they try and explain that lowering a speed limit on any given street will have little or no impact, yet the public often clamours for reduced limits, thinking a number on a sign will solve speeding issues. Telling people what speed to drive when their surroundings tell them it’s safe to drive faster is a fool’s game, and this in an age of shorter stopping distances (hello anti-lock brakes) and technology that can alert drivers to potential collisions. Municipal planners and elected officials have tried a number of ways to slow drivers. Some work well, but are expensive, such as narrowing roads with sections of wider sidewalks, called bulb-outs.

Visually narrowing traffic lanes has been tried, with white lines painted a metre or so from the edge of a roadway. The lines give drivers the impression that there is less room for them to fit their car, forcing them to concentrate on the road and slow a little bit. Parked cars prompt slower driving, too - no one wants to drift into a parked vehicle. Flexible posts mounted along the centre line of some residential roads has been tried as part of a city pilot project. Yet politicians are swayed by calls for lower speed limits when voters demand them, despite having evidence that numbers on signs won’t make a difference. Is it the Nanny State at work? Of course. But it could be worse. We could force drivers to have a servant walk before their cars carrying a large flag. The servant could shoo away any errant urchins who tarry near the roadway. Imagine how much safer we could all be. The public should rise up and demand that any politician who denies such flagmen doesn’t care about public safety. It’s as sane an argument as lowering speed limits.

LETTER

Ending township’s question period would reduce miscommunication To the editor: The positions of councillors, deputy mayor, and mayor assigns certain transferable responsibilities and obligations to the people who occupy these positions and serve the public interest. When some current councilors propose to pass a bylaw that ends a ‘public question period’, naturally some residents react negatively, almost as if they were losing an inalienable right; that right being ‘their right to public access’. This proposed bylaw “appears� to be suggestive of McNab-Braeside council opting out, doing something out

of public view or in this case not doing something. Historically our council has invited any resident present at a council meeting to address council with any concern or issue they may have after the completion of the formal agenda. I remind the readers that this invitation was at the option of council and made usually by the mayor or chair of the council meeting. All of our councilors are ‘new’ to McNab-Braeside council - most are new to municipal politics. They need a reasonable amount of time to become

aware of individual resident issues in a manner least troubling for them and tolerable for the residents. We have entrusted our councilors with the responsibilities that come from holding elected office, now we have to give them some degree of latitude to act in a manner of their choosing and make sound choices for all of us within an environment appropriate for decision makers. Each individual councilor is approachable anytime, privately, to give an opinion or state a fact about any concern residents may have. To give this information to a

ered and an informed response given. This will ultimately save time and not waste it for everyone.

cil who will be better prepared to respond to resident ‘written’ concerns or issues So eliminating the ‘question period’ is in essence only a deferral of it to allow council to better prepare and to give residents time for a sober second thought. See GIVE COUNCIL, page 9

Properly plow Landrigan sidewalk To the editor: Help. When is the town of Arnprior going help us seniors get proper snow removal on Landrigan Street so we can get out walk and walk our dogs? I have called the public works director twice now to come out and do the sidewalks properly. The first time they sent out a sidewalk plow. It would go down and do the sidewalk, but

as it plows the snow it would come back down on to the sidewalk leaving only a little space to walk, more like a path. We have school children who go up and down this street half the time they are on the street or on the path of the sidewalk. The next time I called the public works director he told me that it’s council who decides what sidewalks get

done. It’s not only the seniors who use this sidewalk. What about the other people who try to use it. One last point - this year they only have one sidewalk to clear and they remove half of the sidewalks. It’s just a mess every time you try and go for a walk. Bob Bassenden Arnprior

Give council chance to direct and lead Continued from page 8

This ultimately advantages all parties, eliminates misunderstandings, promotes efficiency and achieves the correct solution. Our council is facing some major concerns in the next few years that will change the face of McNab-Braeside and impact all of us for years to come. Input from residents, private sources and governments will require careful scrutiny by our council and its committees to assure the correct decisions are made for all of us. Obvi-

ously a cooperative working effort (from all of us) with proper planning will play an integral role in performance and achievement. Maybe all of us have to be a little more ‘swift to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger’ and give our councillors, deputy-mayor and mayor an opportunity to direct and lead in an expeditious manner for all of us without residents forfeiting their ‘presumptive’ rights.

Field naturalists enjoy nature outing in Pakenham wilderness Saturday, Feb. 7 was a perfect winter day for a large group of members from the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) to enjoy the club’s annual winter outing. With medium-cold temperatures and softly falling snow, the group wandered a trail in a deeply wooded area of the

Pakenham uplands, enjoying the solitude, searching for animal tracks and listening for bird sounds. The trek ended at the camp of noted conservationist Gerry Lee, who graciously hosted the group and provided a warm interior around a wood fire and also a pot of delicious mulled

cider. Lee then gave a learned dissertation on the trapping industry and how traps are studied and constructed to have the minimum negative effect on the welfare of the animals sought. In addressing a question about the trapper as a conservationist, Lee pointed out it is

Outside, the group watched the bird activity at one of Lee’s bird feeders and sought out eagles at a carcass feeding area on a rock across a stream from the cabin. Only one bald eagle was sighted but other birds at the feeders included over a dozen chickadees, both hairy and downy woodpeckers, white breasted nuthatches and blue jays. A ruffed grouse was seen earlier, budding in a tree along the trail. Warm thanks were presented to the host Lee, noting especially his great humour and generous hospitality.

What dumps and birdfeeders have in common Michael Runtz Nature’s Way

Recently I took my fourth-year Ornithology class out on our second of three field trips this term. We went to Jack Pine Trail on Moodie Drive where we observed winter habitat use by birds, and the types of birds attracted to birdfeeders, which this trail is adorned with. Then we travelled to the ]Nepean Dump to learn what birds are attracted to that habitat. On Jack Pine Trail we had great views of birds at the feeders. Both species of nuthatches, Black-capped Chickadees, and Downy Woodpeckers not only took seeds from the feeders but also from the hands of the eager students. Sadly, we missed seeing a Barred Owl (which had been sitting behind the feeders for two hours) by mere minutes. On our way to the feeders we met two photographers who told us of the great shots they had just gotten of the owl, including some of it in flight. I bit my tongue and thought about how their “great shots” had deprived my students from seeing a beautiful, elusive bird, many for their first time.

MICHAEL RUNTZ

Red-tailed Hawks often catch rats and other rodents near landfill sites. However, we soon forgot about the missed opportunity because shortly after we left the feeders, I called in a Pileated Woodpecker that drummed on

a dead tree mere metres from us. And later we were afforded close views of a Brown Creeper. At the Nepean dump we encoun-

tered about 200 European Starlings and many more crows. Seven gulls fly in and the flock contained four Greatblacked Gulls and a stunning Glaucous Gull, one of the “white-winged gulls” from the far north that lack black in their wingtips. We also had fabulous looks at four Red-tailed Hawks. As we watched the gulls it struck me as to how resourceful Nature is. Birds that eat seeds have learned that birdfeeders offer seeds. Woodpeckers that eat fat grubs hidden in wood have learned that suet is similar fare. American Crows, European Starlings, and large gulls eat live prey, the size of which varies with the size of the bird, but in winter all of them also scavenge. They have learned that landfill sites laden with our food waste offer plenty of edible items in winter. Of course, birdfeeders and dumps provide mammals with food too. Seed spillage beneath feeders attracts mice, voles, and even shrews. Landfills attract small rodents and rats. In return, the mammals attract predators. Owls such as the Barred Owl on Jack Pine Trail hunt late day and at night while Red-tailed Hawks do their killing during daylight hours. Thus, two dissimilar sites – one in which food is deliberately put out to

attract animals and the other in which human waste is disposed of – offer birds and mammals opportunities in quite similar ways. Although the woods are not alive with birds this winter, feeders are attracting their fair share of clients. So if you want to see birds close up, why not put up a feeder? Alternatively, you can visit your local landfill. Just think if you choose the latter option, you could really be down in the dumps this winter! The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Vaccinations promoted as way to limit spread of measles Minister Eric Hoskins and Acting immunized. That’s the core of a statement is- Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. sued last week by Ontario Health Robin Williams in response to measles cases showing up in the province. As of last Friday, there were no apparent cases in the Upper Ottawa Valley. However, there had been at least eight cases in the rest of the province and many cases in the U.S. “While the risk to the general public is low, measles is highly contagious,� says the statement. “It is important for people to be fully immunized against this serious disease; th it’s the best way to prevent measles and its spread.� So the health officials are are urging Ontarians to ensure all their immunizations for measles and those SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH 2015, of their children are up-to-date, “not 6AM UNTIL 5PM only to protect them from this disease, but those around them.� AT BARNET COTTAGE PARK Parents who do not get their kids Register Onsite or Pre-register immunized are putting other children at Joe Ballas Bait & Tackle at risk, say the officials. -BOBSL 3PBE )JHIXBZ r Health units advise that adults

While the risk of the measles outbreak spreading to this area is low, it’s important that people are properly

TENDER INVITATIONS

PRE-QUALIFICATION OF GENERAL CONTRACTORS RFSQ #2015-04 THE RCDSB IS ISSUING A REQUEST FOR SUPPLIER QUALIFICATIONS FROM PROSPECTIVE PROPONENTS INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH THE RCDSB AS A GENERAL CONTRACTOR FOR THE RELOCATION OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL INTO A SECONDARY SCHOOL IN BARRY’S BAY, ONTARIO.

born in 1970 or later require two doses for optimal protection, depending on their age and level of risk. Individuals born before 1970 are generally presumed to be immune from measles. Currently, it is recommended that children should have the first dose at 12 months and a second dose when they are four to six years old, preferably before they start school. “The science is clear and there is indisputable evidence that the measles vaccine is both safe and effective,� stresses the health minister. “There is overwhelming evidence and consensus among health professionals in support of vaccinations. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that they and their loved ones are protected against vaccine-preventable diseases like measles.� The statement argues that immunization is important as measles is a highly contagious viral infection that is spread through the air from person to person through coughing or sneez-

ing. It can be spread by someone who does not appear ill. All Ontarians are eligible for measles vaccination, according to the publicly funded immunization schedules in Ontario.  For further information about measles and immunization, or if you are not sure about your immunization status, contact your health care provider or call your local public health unit. If you plan to travel abroad, consult your health care provider in advance of travel so you and those travelling with you - especially young children - have sufficient time to become immunized and protected, advises the health officials. “If you think that you or a family member has measles, contact your health care provider immediately. Be sure to call ahead to let them know that you are coming and that you suspect that you may have measles so that appropriate precautions can be taken.â€?

‘Broken’ disability system prompts workers protests Hundreds of frontline workers with the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) rallied across the province, including Renfrew County, last week in a show of solidarity with recipients of the program “whose social assistance payments have been compromised by a deeply flawed computer system.� Workers taking part in a protest in Renfrew said since the new system has been implemented local offices are being deluged with complaints from clients either not receiving their benefits or getting the wrong amounts. “It’s painfully obvious: SAMS has introduced chaos into Ontario’s social assistance system placing an incredible amount of pressure on frontline staff and depriving

social assistance recipients of essential income, employment and medical supports,� said Ontario Public Service Employees Union President Warren (Smokey) Thomas. “For months prior to the launch of SAMS, OPSEU members were incredibly vocal about the shortcomings and deficiencies of the flawed software,� said Thomas, noting members warned the government multiple times SAMS was incapable of administering critical program functions. “Unfortunately, those warnings were ignored.� The union is seeking a Court order to suspend the SAMS program until it can provide reliable, timely and accurate benefits to those in need. OPSEU was joined in its application by community groups and recipients.

Hydro inspector a scam, OPP warn OPP East Region 2014 fatal crash report The OPP is advising the community to be aware of persons posing as furnace inspectors representing the Ontario Power Authority.  Police report a woman in the Clayton area was solicited at her front door and pressured into setting up and appointment to have her furnace and hot water tank inspected the next day.  She became suspicious and contacted the Ontario Power Authority.  She was advised that the Ontario Power Authority does not solicit doorto-door or by phone and does not hire anybody to do so for them. The woman was able to cancel the appointment before

they attended her home again. She was not able to identify the contract company. Police advise people that they should always ask for identification before opening the door to unsolicited sales persons and be careful to whom they are letting into their homes. Once these aggressive sales persons are let in, it is very hard to get them out without a yes to their services. Residents are encouraged to take their time and make an informed decision. DERBY SCAM

Local police forces are not raising funds for an ice-fishing

derby. Ottawa police organized fraud unit issued a warning on Feb. 11 after a victim received a phone call earlier this month from someone calling on behalf of police and asked for money. “The caller indicated that he was raising funds on behalf of the service for an upcoming ice-fishing derby to benefit mentally challenged children and he requested payment by credit card,” police said in a statement. “The Ottawa police is not fundraising or collecting donations for any such events or charities.” If you have information on this case, call the fraud unit at 613-236-1222, ext.7300.

News - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), East Region reports that fatal collisions on OPP-patrolled highways was further reduced in 2014 over 2013 and 2012. Not wearing a seatbelt-related fatalities have decreased over the last five years while the number of alcohol-related deaths have remained constant. Although the recent Festive RIDE campaign has come to an end, the OPP is continuing to focus resources on our highways. “Unfortunately, deaths of our highways is a needless result of distracted driving, alco-

hol, aggressive driving, speeding and failing to wear a seatbelt,” says Chief Superintendent Daniel Redmond, Regional Commander, East Region. “Driving defensively within the posted limits and being focused will further assist in making our highways even safer.” 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 Fatal Crashes 45 46 63 49 53 Deaths 48 52 74 56 57 Alcohol-related 8 13 13 15 12 Seatbelt-related 5 13 19 17 15

County offers grant to help low-income homeowners The County of Renfrew will again provide some funding to low-income homeowners who require minor home repairs. The Emergency Minor Home Repair Assistance Program helps homeowners at risk of losing their home. The money goes toward repairs that ensure continued safe occupancy of the home. The grant, offered in partnership with Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, is available for eligible homeowners who are at risk of being homeless. The Emergency Minor Home Repair Assistance Program is provided in the form of a one-time grant up to the amount of $5,000. Approved projects will be paid directly to the contractor. The household income must not exceed $60,000 and the market value of the home must be at or below $175,000. Participants must plan to remain in their home for at least five years and must be able to confirm they have exhausted all other funding sources available for home repairs.

“We are very pleased with the impact that this program makes in the prevention of homelessness in our communities,” said Debbie Robinson, Chair of the Renfrew County Housing Corporation board of directors.

County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon shared his view on the need for a funding program such as this. “This funding provides assistance to ensure that homeowners in our community do not have to live in discomfort or less than ideal circumstances while they struggle to accumulate the funds necessary to complete the repairs.” “The Emergency Minor Home Repair Assistance Program will assist in meeting the needs of our local homeowners to remain housed, by providing funding to those who have exhausted all other options for their home repairs,” said Renfrew County Housing Corporation general manager Carol Neill, in echoing the Warden’s comment. The program funding is limited and is based on first-come first-serve. There is a formal application process that is administered through Renfrew County Housing Corporation. The application must provide supporting information and documentation as required, and incomplete applications will not be considered for program funding. For more information on this new program, or to request an application form, contact the Renfrew County Housing Corporation at 613432-3679 or visit www.countyofrenfrew.on.ca.

MP recognized as an advocate for the region’s disabled Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has been recognized as the best MP out of all 308 when it comes to securing funding for the disabled. The rating is based in good part on funding to make public spaces handicap accessible. “During my time as a Federal Member of Parliament, I am proud of the work I have done for the less fortunate,â€? said Gallant in a news release. “From opposing the provincial clawback to the federal National Child Benefit, sponsoring a successful Private Member’s Bill to limit promoter fees on the disability tax credit, and now, being recognized as the best MP when it comes to securing funding from the federal government’s Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAP). “My constituents depend on their MP to be aware of funding opportunities and to help them be successful. When they are successful, we all win,â€? she said. Of the applications received for the Enabling Accessibility Fund, 762 received funding since 2011, while 1,758 were rejected through calls for proposals. Projects completed using the fund include installing elevators, widening doorways, creating wheelchair-accessible washrooms, an accessible trailer and ramps. Of the $34.5 million spent in all of Canada, the eastern Ontario riding of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke received the most funding at $3.5 million, followed by Conservative Gord Brown’s Leeds-Grenville riding, which got $3.1 million since 2011.

An opposition MP from Nova Scotia, received the third-highest amount of funding at $2.4 million. “So often the news is rural Canada being short-changed,� said Gallant. “My constituents know I fight hard for every available dollar. This is true for the handicapped and it is true for infrastructure dollars in our municipalities and every other government program. “To me helping people is the most rewarding part of being a Member of Parliament.�

Catholic school board unveils new website

Modelling some of the prom dresses available at the Op Shop in the front from left, are Grace and Rachael Maxwell and in back Camille Fortin, Emma Proulx and Michelle Reid. Other girls who participated in trying on the prom dresses were Kristal D’Aoust, Dianne Rodger and Madelaine Gillan. SCOTT CAMPBELL/ METROLAND

Looking for a prom dress? The Opportunity Shop on John Street in Arnprior could be an option. The Op Shop, a thrift store that raises money for the Arnprior hospital, has been swerving the community for the past 40 years. The operation relies on the public’s generosity to keep the store supplied. Within the last 10 years, the business has made over $1 mil-

lion for health care in the area. Every single penny raised has gone towards Arnprior Regional Health, as all 85 Op Shop workers are volunteers. On Feb. 12, the Op Shop showcased some of their promdress collection and other elegant wear with some help from high school students. “People don’t realize, what is here,� said Teresa Thom, manager of the Op Shop. She estimated the most expensive dress in the store is priced at around $20 and a wedding dress would probably cost about $100.

The New Year has ushered in a new look for the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board with the recent makeover of its website. Boaord officials promise that visitors to http://rccdsb. edu.on.ca/ will be pleasantly surprised by the updated appearance and improved navigation. The existing site was established early in 2010. “Our goal was to develop a site that allows us to communicate extremely effectively with students, parents, the community and staff,� said Catholic school board director of education Michele Arbour. “We wanted a clean, concise, renewed look that highlights the information that is important to our community,� agreed Thomas Carroll, the board’s E-learning contact, noting additional sub-sites such as religious education and safe schools are still in the process of undergoing a ‘facelift’. “With the knowledge that

mobile devices are fast becoming the preferred method of reading and sharing online, mobile access and inter-connectivity with social media were also considerations in the redesign. CONNECTING COMMUNITY

“The new website is responsive to all mobile devices and screen sizes (such as iPad, iPhones, etc.), and is better able to connect our community using Twitter and Facebook,� said Carroll. Among its various features, the new layout includes more white space, convenient dropdown menus located at the top right of the page, and the latest board news front and centre for viewers. “This advancement in our website design effectively reflects our innovative 21st century learning dnvironment at the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board,� concluded Arbour.

“Eradicating polio means that no child ever again will be paralyzed by or die from the wild poliovirus.” These are the words of Rotary International. The world-wide service club has been on a mission to make the crippling disease disappear. Presently, all but three countries remain polio-free. Arnprior Rotary Club has been involved in the mission and its commitment has been noticed. “Arnprior Rotary is being recognized for its annual contribution (towards polio eradication), which for a small club, it is quite significant,” said president Terry Dawson, who has been a member for the last 13 years. “It is one of the many ways we serve the international community as well as our own. We asked our members to give and we’ve donated over $1,500.” Dawson added there about 19 members in the Arnprior Rotary Club. Their commitment was in the top three for the district back in December. Only West Ottawa and Watertown had a higher amount. There has been a 99 per cent decrease in polio cases since 1988 and 10 million people were saved from paralysis. Rotary announced recent progress that, “Jan. 24 marked six months without a case of polio in Nigeria, the only remaining endemic country in Africa.” Rotary has about 25,000 club members throughout Canada. Members have contributed more than $27.2 million of the total $1.3 billion (U.S. dollars) that Rotary has provided to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which has benefitted 122 countries. Nevertheless, with Canada’s being one of the leading donors towards the initiative, a study attests that 200,000 children could be paralyzed annually, if the world doesn’t act. The polio project is one of Rotary’s many as its members continue to serve the community by addressing issues as poverty, health, hunger, education and the environment. This includes Arnprior. “We have also helped build schools, give equipment for disasters areas that would offer shelter for 10 weeks,” said Dawson. Rotary efforts also have partnerships with World Health Organization, UNICEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Arnprior Rotary Club meets every Monday at PJ’s Restaurant.

ONTARIO GOVERNMENT NOTICE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT ACT PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY given that pursuant to Sections 7 and 36 of the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act (R.S.O. 1990, Chap. P. 50 and amendments thereto), the Lieutenant Governor in Council did designate portions of proposed highway respectively as a King’s Highway and as a Controlled-Access Highway.

brier.dodge@metroland.com

As the top athletes in the city gathered at Algonquin College on Jan. 29 for the 62nd annual Ottawa Sports Awards, the elite seemed to have one thing in common – they were busy doing what they do best. Orléans trio Ivanie Blondin, Vincent de Haitre and curler Rachel Homan were all out of town, travelling to compete, as was Arnprior Paralympic snowboarder John Leslie. He was at an extreme sports competition. Among the other winners honoured at the sold-out banquet were the members of the Galetta Lawn Bowling Club’s men’s seniors team that won the provincial triples championship. The trio includes Arnprior’s Dave Jefferies, Rico Silvestro and Malcolm Rose. In announcing Leslie was receiving the snowboarding award, it was noted 2014 was a standout year for the Sochi Paralympian. The Arnprior District High School graduate and Ottawa Akademy club snowboarder started his season by winning three bronze medals from four World Cup races in advance of the Paralympics. Competing in one of the Games’ deepest fields despite the fact that it was the discipline’s Paralympic debut, Leslie placed seventh out of 33 in para-snowboard cross. The 22-year-old also received the Auclair Team Spirit Award from Canada Snowboard in April in recognition of his strong results, leadership skills and dedication to his community. Leslie began his 2014-15 campaign on a strong note with a sixthplace showing in the banked slalom at a World Cup in Holland. Blondin and de Haitre, speed skaters who won female and male athlete of the year respectively, were both at a world cup event in Europe. Homan, who leads the Rachel Homan rink (named female team of the year), was also out of town. All were represented by their parents. “This is a big honour,” said Bob Blondin, Ivanie’s father, who accepted her award. “She’s very proud and humbled.” Basketball player Phil Scrubb, who picked up the male team of the year award for Carleton University, missed out on his own individual basketball award earlier in the night

JOHN LESLIE because he had basketball practice, which doesn’t end early so awards can be received. The Carleton Ravens men’s basketball team has won the male team of the year award nine of the past 12 years. The Rachel Homan rink also repeated as the female team of the year award winners, which they’ve won four of the past five years. Male coach of the year was also from men’s basketball, but this time from the University of Ottawa, as James Derouin, the Gee-Gees coach, took home the award. The Ottawa native captained the Gee-Gees as a player years ago. The female coach of the year was Kanata’s Claudette Faubert. The Special Olympics track and field team coach works with one third of the athletes who were selected for the national team for next year’s Special Olympics World Games. The volunteer coach is also a Special Olympics snowshoeing coach. West Carleton’s Cameron Smedley won the award in whitewater canoe/ kayak paddling. The Carleton University student is a repeat winner in the category. In canoe/kayak sprinting, Ben Tardioli, who trains in West Carleton, won the award. While the major award winners were announced, one athlete from every single sport as well as athletes from every team that won a provincial or national title were also honoured. In all, more than 100 awards given out to the city’s best amateur athletes.

Ryan’s way admirable John Ryan was in the spotlight when the Arnprior Packers took on the Almonte Thunder Jan. 30 at the Stewart Community Centre during their annual showdown during the Pakenham Frost Festival. Each year the festival committee chooses to honour the efforts of a community member and super volunteer Ryan, above centre, was this year’s recipient. He drops the puck for Thunder captain Riley Shore, left, and Packers captain John McLean. The Packers won 4-2.

Have you tried hearing aids before but didn’t like the plugged up feeling? You will be amazed at how comfortable and natural sounding they are. After a few minutes, you will not even notice that you are wearing them. Never before have hearing aids been this comfortable and easy to adapt to.

The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

Are they visible? With only very thin tubing going into your ears, most people will not notice that you are wearing hearing aids. What they will notice is how well you are hearing.

Muslim scholar speaks out against ISIS attacks Imam to speak at public meeting in Arnprior Feb. 25 Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

Muslim scholar and Imam Mohamad Jebara says the universal message of religion is to love one another. Jebara spoke before a big crowd at St. James Anglican Church in Carleton Place Jan. 28, in an effort to dispel misconceptions about the Islamic faith, in light of the recent Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist attacks. His appearance was made possible through a partnership with St. James, St. Mary’s Catholic Church, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and Zion-Memorial United Church. Arnprior and area residents will be able to hear Jebara speak when he is the special guest at a meeting Feb. 25 at Arnprior’s Grace-St. Andrew’s

United Church. The public meeting will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. The imam, also known as a worship leader, is of the Sunni Muslim faith and currently serves as resident scholar at Ottawa’s Cordova Spiritual Education Centre. Jebara began his studies at age 10. “I never thought I’d be an ordained imam, I was studying the faith for myself,� he explained. “I come from a pretty diverse background. My older brother and two sisters are Catholic and my mother’s family are Jewish, so I’ve mixed my traditions well.� He said hatred has been used as a force by many civilizations, including the Nazis and certain communities who are of Muslim faith, but stressed that people shouldn’t paint all Muslims with a broad brush. Jebara admitted politics does play a role, but ventured to say that those who choose a darker path are “antireligion.� “Politics does play a role, but I say the problem isn’t that. It’s the ideology. There’s a problem with the ideology of these people ... Every religion has people who align themselves, even though they have

nothing to do with faith,� he said, noting that the Quran talks about the sanctity of life and suicide bombings are directly against it. “... You can’t rationalize delusional thoughts. This is brainwashing just like what happened with the Nazis ... there’s no honour in killing, there’s no nobility in killing ...� Essentially, Jebara said rebels have “hijacked� his faith. “They’ve made it so difficult for us and have nothing to do with our faith. I’d go so far as to say they don’t believe in God. Someone who would rape, murder and destroy can’t have faith.� Jebara said he isn’t surprised by the ISIS tragedies as they were foretold by Islamic priests more than 1,000 years ago “that will lead a person to believe in a God that’s angry or hateful and the people who believe these things will translate it into violence.� “I’ve been speaking out about this sect for over 10 years. People said let them believe what they want, but when your belief translates into transgressions against others, that’s a problem,� he said. See TERRORISTS, page 33

Terrorists ‘a cancer in the heart of the Islamic world’: Imam Continued from page 31

Each time an act is committed, he wonders who benefits from it. “... Not Islam. The biggest hurt is to Islam,� Jebara said. “We lose the most amount of people to terrorists ... the scholars of Islam call this sect a cancer in the heart of the Islamic world. We not only have to deal with them, but have to answer for them.� But, he said that when all is said and done, it’s the stories of love that endure, not those of hate. Jebara used the example of inventor Thomas Edison as someone who will be revered for many generations to come because of what he contributed to the world. “People who bring love into the world and advancement to make this world a better place, people revere them,� he said. “But the 10 scientists who created the hydrogen bomb, can you tell me their names?� So what is Jebara doing to restore his faith, one guest asked. He said setting the record straight isn’t easy and the media plays a big role. “Islamic scholars have been very strong and very vocal that suicide bombings and attacks are against Islam,� he said. “Over two million Islamic scholars signed a petition about this terrorism against Islam, but you

didn’t hear anything about it on the news or CNN because (the media) won’t respond to it because they don’t want to hear it.� In fact, Jebara said he was to be interviewed by CBC earlier in the day before his Carleton Place presentation, but it was cancelled. “They found someone who would say what they wanted,� he said, referring to the Charlie Hebdo journalists in Paris who poked fun at the prophet Muhammad. “That, to me, is not offensive. If the prophet was here, what would he do? Spread love and compassion.� He recounted a story of a man who threw garbage at Muhammad’s house for weeks and one day he didn’t show up. Muhammad went to the man’s house and asked him why he didn’t and found he was ill. “He (Mohammed) brought him soup and cared for him. That was how he acted,� Jebara explained. “Everybody made fun of Muhammad during his prophethood, but who doesn’t make fun of their prophets?� RELIGIOUS SIMILARITIES

Part of Jebara’s presentation was spent discussing the similarities of Islam to other faiths. He explained that the religious text of Islam, the Quran,

dox-Christians used to wear it and still do to a large degree. So, there’s a lot that we share and those shared traditions is what makes this world a better place if we can recognize that.� In explaining the differences between the Muslim communities, Jebara likened his Sunni faith to Catholicism, while the Shiites are most similar to Orthodox-Christianity. “The Wahhabis (Sunni sect) are equivalent to our farthest right-wing evangelical-type Christians in terms of the way they read scripture and understand things.� The main difference between the Sunnis and Shiites, he said, is that the Sunnis believe a leader should be elected, while the Shiites think a religious leader is made by blood.

It (faith) is a set of advice that allows us to be the best people we can.� Jebara indicated that in the past, Muslims sought faith from the Christian and Jewish religions and “that’s how they were able to form their values.� There are many similarities between the different religions and he said that’s intentional, such as how a mosque is much the same as a church. “Right now, they (mosques and churches) operate in much the same way. There is the holy area at the front and a congregation and the structure is multi-cultural,� Jebara said. “The dome of the mosque is from the Orthodox-Christians. There was no dome in early Islam. And the tops of churches in North Africa are no different than the bell towers you have in churches here. We also take the pulpit from the Christians. “A lot of the things found in a mosque, even the style of the veil Muslim women wear is not an Islamic invention,� he continued. “The way the women wear it (veil) is the way Ortho-

equivalent,� he said. “The translations really don’t give the great power of the original.� He said overall, the Quran teaches you to “replace wickedness, oppression, tyranny and evil and replace it with kindness, mercy, love and compassion. When people throw hate to you, don’t replace it with hate, replace it with love.� “If you can do so, the Lord will transform the hurt of those who did to you,� Jebara added. “...

Sunday service was startling thanks to Herman Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

I would spend many minutes waiting for any movement from her, which never came all the time we went to the Lutheran Church in Northcote. Of course, I was keenly interested in seeing what the girls I went to school with had worn to church. And so that cut a fair bit of time out of the church service too.

If one wore a new hat (even very young girls wore hats to church), I looked at it with envy, and I was reasonably sure I was committing a mortal sin by doing so, and was right up there with stealing pennies off the collection plate. And then there was old Herman. He sat by the East window, and I spent many minutes staring at his very bald head It had a glow to it, which my brother Emerson said got that way because he rubbed it with goose grease before he came to church. My sister Audrey said that was pure nonsense. Goose grease was for shining your boots, not to be wasted putting a shine to a bald head! Some Sundays I couldn’t take my

There was a lot to grab my attention in church every Sunday, and it wasn’t always what the minister had to say from the pulpit. If the truth be known, I had trouble trying to figure out what he was talking about, as he flailed around pounding his bible on the rail. I was much more interested in waiting to see the well-worn black book go flying into the congregation, which I was sure would happen. It would just be a matter of time. And then there was his wife, who Mother said was a pure angel. She sat ram-rod straight, and my brother Emerson said the whole place could blow up and he doubted if she would blink an eyelash.

eyes off old Herman. He was known to consume a little too much of his homemade brew on a Saturday night, and it wasn’t unusual for him to come to church the worse for wear. He would be alright when the church service was just beginning, but with the hot sun beating on his bald head, the old stove belting out heat, and the droning on of the minister, it didn’t take long for old Herman to drop his head to his chest. And every few minutes he would waken and snap his head up, only to lose consciousness again seconds later. Well, one Sunday, right in the middle of winter, there was someone else in old Herman’s seat! And yet, it looked like old Herman ... same bulbed nose, half-shut eyes, but the shiny head was gone! What was on his head looked very much like a tight hat of fine brown straw, and I wasn’t the only one glued to old Herman! Every eye in church was on him. Emerson started to laugh until Mother gave him a poke that settled him down in a hurry. I thought even the minister paused on his way up to the front of the church leading the choir, as his eyes fell on the sight in Herman’s pew. My sister Audrey, who Mother always said was smart beyond her years, leaned close to me and said, “of course it’s Herman ... he’s gotten himself a wig.” I had never seen a wig in the Northcote area before ... there were a few in the town of Renfrew I knew, but not out in Northcote! Well, the service went on, and I lost interest in looking for new hats and keeping a close eye on the Minister’s wife ... my sight was glued to old Herman. That Sunday we could have gotten along without the heat from the old stove, because the sun was pouring in through the East window, and, of course, right onto Herman. I don’t think the minister was into his sermon five minutes when old Herman’s head

fell to his chest. That in itself was not unusual, and to be expected. What wasn’t expected was what happened to the wig. It fell over his eyes with his first head-drop, and stayed there! It sat on his nose completely blocking his vision. With the curved seats in the pews it was impossible not to see what was happening. The minister’s voice got louder and louder. And it wasn’t until the organist pumped her feet on the two felt pedals with force and brought her hands down with a bang on the keys to start a hymn that old Herman came to. Of course, he couldn’t see a thing. The wig covered the front of his bald head right down to the tip of his nose. That in itself was enough to startle the whole church, but what it did to old Herman was something to behold. He must have forgotten for the moment that he was wearing a wig, because he was blinded by it, and yelled in a voice that could be heard in the United Church down the road. “Where am I? What’s goin’ on?” Mr. Kallies, sitting right behind him, grabbed the back edge of the wig and righted it, allowing Herman to realize where he was. His face turned beet red, he grabbed the wig off his head, crammed it in his pocket, and bolted. He didn’t even wait for the plates to be passed for collection. As always at the Lutheran Church, after the service, people mingled at the back and had their visit. Not a word was mentioned about the wig or old Herman. But on the way home in the double cutter, my brother Emerson said the church service that day was as good as going to the picture show in Renfrew on a Saturday night!

Walk for Memories in support of the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County raised more than $250,000 with the participation of 616 walkers on Jan. 25, inside the Carleton University fieldhouse. The success of the 20th annual walk was made possible with the generosity and hard work of its Leading the Walk sponsor Collins Barrow Chartered Accountants, dozens of sponsors, thousands of donors, and over 150 event volunteers. And for those who weren’t able to make it out on event day, there’s still time to give and make a difference, as donations received until Feb. 28 will add to the walk total. Visit walkformemories.ca or call 613-523-4004 to donate.

It is that the time of the year – time to start filing 2014 income tax papers. Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program (ABMSHP) offers a Community Volunteer Income Tax Program starting March 2. It is available only to individuals with low to modest income. To be eligible, you must have a ‘simple’ tax situation, i.e. no self-employment or business income or expenses, no capital gains or losses, or no bankruptcy files. The ABMSHP office at Towne Centre Unit A1 – 106 McGonigal St. West in Arnprior will be opened, to accept 2014 income tax forms from Monday, March 2 to May 1. The program is offered Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Make note - these are the only days and times available to meet to accept returns. ABMSHP will not be taking any income tax forms on Tuesdays or Thursdays. As a reminder, please make sure

you have the following items included with your package: • T4s from Old Age Security and Canada Pension Plan; • interest T5s from financial institutions; • 2014 rent or property tax receipts; • medical expense receipts; • proof of date of birth; • present marital status; • 2013 income tax return (last year’s) • 2013 notice of assessment (last year’s) ABMSHP offers the Income Tax Program free of charge, but as the Agency is a non-profit charitable organization, the Income Tax program operates as a fundraiser for the agency, which makes all donations at the completion of individual income tax forms appreciated. In return for your donation, no matter the amount, you will be issued an official donation receipt for income tax purposes (2015). If you require any further information, call program co-ordinator Jennifer Stratton at 613-623-7981.

Weight management, wellness and nutrition The term probiotics come from two words that mean ‘For Life’. Probiotics are live bacteria that are good for your health. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. However, our body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called ‘good’ or ‘helpful’ bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy and can help strengthen the body’s natural defences while also restoring the natural balance of hundreds of bacteria found in the human gut. Probiotics are naturally found in your body. You can also find them in some foods such as yogurt and supplements. HOW DO THEY WORK?

Here are some of the ways they may keep you healthy:

They can help balance your ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria to keep your body working like it should. They can lower the amount of ‘bad’ bacteria in your system that can cause infections or other problem. When you lose ‘good’ bacteria in your body (like after you take antibiotics, for example), probiotics can help replace them. TYPES OF PROBIOTICS

Many types of bacteria are classified as probiotics. They all have different benefits, but most come from two groups. Ask a registered nutritionist about which might best benefit you. Lactobacillus - This may be the most common probiotic. It’s the one you’ll find in yogurt and other fermented foods. Different strains can help with diarrhea and may help with people who can’t digest lactose, the sugar in milk. Bifidobacterium - You can also find it in some dairy products. It may help

HOW TO USE THEM SAFELY

ease the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) WHAT DO THEY DO?

Probiotics help move food through your gut. Researchers are still trying to figure out which are best for certain health problems. Some common conditions they treat are: • Traveler’s diarrhea; • Irritable bowel syndrome; • Antibiotic-related diarrhea; • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); • Infectious diarrhea (caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites). There is also some research to show they ease the symptoms of non-stomach-related problems. For example, some people say they have helped with: • oral health; • urinary and vaginal health; • boosting the immune system; • skin conditions, like eczema; • preventing allergies and colds.

Mass produced supplements can be purchased at any corner pharmacy, grocery store or through a multi-level marketing company. However, in order to guarantee the efficacy of the product, it is best to purchase supplements from a store specializing in health related products and services. Although safe, side effects may include upset stomach, diarrhea, gas and bloating for the first couple of days after you start them. They may also trigger allergic reactions. Stop taking them and talk to your registered nutritionist if you have problems. Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach, certified wellness coach and personal chef. He holds many other certifications and specializes in lifestyle and weight management. He can be reached at ww.ianharris.ca.

Mills Community Support offers health, wellness programs Mills Community Support has been “driving good things in our community” for 40 years. For much of that time, it focused on Almonte. Over the last five years, however, the service area has grown to include clients in Carleton Place, Appleton, Lanark Highlands, Clayton, Ramsay, and, most recently, Pakenham. Last year, Mills officials met with the board of directors of the five Arches in Pakenham to discuss offering supports, services, trips and activities to older adults in Pakenham. Shortly

thereafter, a seniors’ bus trip to view the fall colours formed the kick-off for the programs and services in Pakenham. Two subsequent trips have taken place with the following programs and services starting (or running) as follows: • Low Impact Zumba – Tuesday at the Anglican Church on Jessie Street from 6 to 6:45 p.m.; • Meals on Wheels available for those living in Pakenham and surrounding areas – daily, Monday to Friday; • free 12-week falls prevention program designed to keep

seniors active, improve balance and strength, and provide exercises that seniors can do at home following the program completion - Wednesday and Friday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the 5 Arches building; • quarterly newsletter available at the doctor’s office, Pakenham Library and Pakenham Seniors Club; • Vials of Life available at Dr. Kiskis and Dr. Villis’s office and at the Pakenham Library (vials can also be requested through the Pakenham Seniors Club); • activities, trips, outings and

Mills Community Support has expanded its health and wellness programs and outings to older adults in Pakenham. Above, Pakenham seniors enjoyed lunch at the Cedar Cove Restaurant in White Lake following a fall colours tour to see the leaves, which served as the kick-off for the new venture. supports based on suggestions from Pakenham community members.

Seniors games to be spread out across the county The Renfrew County Senior Games will have a new look this year. Events will be spread around

the county instead of being concentrated in one location. Gary Churchill explained the change during a presenta-

tion to Renfrew County council last month. The games will be launched in Eganville. while different communities will host

separate events. Renfrew will host bowling, while swimming will take place in Pembroke and Deep River.

watch for posters. For more information on any or all of the programs, visit the website at www.themills.on.ca,

send an email to Jan Watson at jwatson@themills.on.ca or call the Home Support Office at 613-256-4700.

Deep River will also entertain lawn bowling, Churchill said. “The idea was to use the whole county to host the Games, so we won’t be having just one host community committee anymore,” Churchill said.

The Games provides adults 55 years and older in Ontario with an opportunity to expand social interaction with others, to increase their physical and mental well-being, and to promote active living.

THAT’S A VICTORY.

Maria Hawkins, well-known in Arnprior for her musical messages promoting inclusiveness and anti-bullying, brings her all-ages stage show to Calabogie Peaks as part of its free and open winter blues series.

She also performed some original material with her musical partner and Juno award winner John MacDonald. Another show is planned for Saturday, Feb. 28 at the Peaks.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

(20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our he could have even imagined when he made it over 30 years ago. children, youth and families deserve to Moving forward 80 percent of the interest million.
