Arnprior council passes budget without raising property tax rate

Home town hero JOHN CARTER/ METROLAND

Arnprior gave Paralympic snowboarder John Leslie a rousing send-off Sunday. Leslie returned home from a competition in Europe for John Leslie Day in town to sign autographs and receive well wishes from hundreds of fans, including Lynn Robertson at the Cupboard restaurant. Leslie was also the guest of honour at the Prior Sports Bar and received a boisterous ovation at the NHL Alumni Game.

COMMUNITY

News – Despite some last minute additions last week, Arnprior council has managed to finalize the 2014 almost $8.7-million town budget without boosting the municipal property tax rate. Councillors and staff were pleased with the result considering the challenges faced by rising costs, the loss of recreation and library agreement with McNab-Braeside, and a major jump in police salaries. Keeping the tax rate the same as last year will translate into a modest bottom line increase for most residential property-owners based in the rise in their assessment. The town also has tax revenue from new housing to help pay for its increase in spending. As well as continuing to fund core services, the budget puts just over $1 million into reserves for future projects of Arnprior, adding to the unprecedented $3 million-plus allocated last year. Town CAO Michael explained the spending is based on the continuation of strong pay-as-you-go principles, which will see major capital investments in the town of almost $3 million and the contribution to reserves without, for a second year in a row, no new borrowing. Council passed the 2014 town capital and operating budgets on Feb. 13, after two special meetings Feb. 11 and 12 where it scrutinized the various expenditures and revenues. “Council is pleased to announce that the municipal tax rate for Arnprior taxpayers will not increase in 2014, while at the same time service levels will be enhanced,� said Mayor David Reid after the budget was passed.

“Far beyond its considerable economic impact, the tale of the Sullivans is that of a quintessential Canadian family doing business by staying tough as nails in its dealings and fiercely loyal to its people,� he said. “Confident, vocal, expert and tireless, the Sullivans have over a century become an influence as deep as any on the Canadian business landscape,� said Hanington. “The Sullivan family history is fascinating, and the business lessons their story imparts are invaluable.� He noted that anyone interested in creating or working for a highly successful, ethical company with happy employees will benefit greatly from reading the lively history of the Sullivan Family.

More than a riveting family history, the book is an entertaining guide for anyone wishing to create and sustain a successful and long-lasting company. Founded in 1914, M. Sullivan & Son Limited is a full-service construction company based in Eastern Ontario. In 1924, the year of its 10th anniversary, M. Sullivan & Son logged just $5,012 in revenues. Now in its 100th year, the firm sees more than $100 million in annual sales.

Among those dropping by to congratulate John Leslie at the Cupboard Sunday was oncology nurse Lise Robillard, who said the Paralympian is an inspiration to her cancer patients.

The Women’s Institute monthly market is on from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. A variety of carnival fun runs from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., followed by dinner. Registration for events begins at 10 a.m. at White Lake Park. There’s a colouring contest being held in conjunction with the carnival. Download the page from Facebook (facebook.com/whitelakerecreation) or grab a copy from the White Lake General Store or White Lake Restaurant. Drop off entries to the store or restaurant by 6 p.m. Feb. 21 for a chance to win. The carnival and this season mark a return to glory for the once-popular recreation centre. “The White Lake recreation centre was at one time the place to be for community events in White Lake, Arnprior, Renfrew and surrounding areas,� says an event press release. “As the generations that took care of it got older and people moved away, the centre fell into disrepair and was almost never used.� Efforts began last year to get it back up and running. “Last year a group of locals from White Lake, Waba, Arnprior, Kinburn and other towns got together and decided to make the White Lake rec centre useful to the community again. With no financial support from the McNab-Braeside town council, or any public funds of any kind, the volunteers worked to fix up the centre and its adjoining property, which includes a ball hockey area/ice rink, baseball diamond and a modern play park area.� Volunteers are pleased with the success so far. “This is the second year for the winter carnival and it has already gone from a decent community effort last year to this year’s growing concern,� says the release. Organizers say there will be many Olym-

Inspiring

pic-oriented competitions for all ages, including toboggan races, skating events, a hockey shootout, obstacle course races and more. Also included in the event are 50/50 draws, free giveaways for the kids, hotdogs, hot drinks, snacks and a raffle for a wedding package, which includes a free officiant/minister, hall, and much more. “This raffle will save the lucky winner several hundred dollars in costs for an upcoming wedding.� Not only has the carnival grown, but local businesses have gotten on board to support it. Sponsors, including Mac’s Convenience, Dominoes, Metro and Giant Tiger, will make this year’s carnival that much better. “We are more organized compared to last year and by next year, with the support of the community we will have it perfect. It takes time and with council taking no interest and not willing to invest any time or money into the centre like they do for other community centres in their jurisdiction, this makes this community effort to revive this building and it’s resources for the people of the area all that more special.�

Haulers should contact the appropriate road authority to determine the spring load restrictions on local municipal roads.

“It should be noted that this is no small accomplishment as in 2014 the Town was faced with over $600,000 in new external budget pressures, which included the province’s 8.5 per cent wage increase for OPP officers amounting to approximately $160,000, a reduction by the province in OMPF funding of $93,000, increases in garbage collection rate of approximately $71,000 and the loss of over $230,000 in cost sharing on recreation and library services with McNab-Braeside, as well as other pressures.” Not only is the Town not taking on any new debt, it is continuing to pay off longstanding debt, Reid said. The contributions, reallocations and transfers of $1 million to reserves towards future “pay-as-you-go expenditures” will ensure that the Town’s financial position remains strong in the future, he added. Included in the budget are multiple road projects through the town’s new Rolling Road Rehabilitation Program, which is in keeping with its asset management and strategic plans. Councillors asked that a couple of extra projects be accommodated, including adding work on Arthur Street to that planned for Charles Street. The Town will also accelerate engineering and environmental assessment plans to revitalize the downtown corridors of John and Elgin streets. Reid successfully persuaded council and staff to schedule and fund the design work over the next two years instead of three. The funds originally allocated for year three will be split between years one and two.

However, that acceleration could mean a delay in work on McGonigal Street. The budget also includes construction a new park facility at Short Street, repairs of critical aging underground infrastructure and establishment of an ongoing annual Water Front Rehabilitation Program. Reid again persuaded council to add $25,000 annually into the budget so the town could get started on improvements along the Madawaska River from the library to Robert Simpson Park. Additional budget highlights include: • rehabilitation of Victoria, Charles, and William streets and Staye Court Drive, with the possibility for additional road work if tenders are favourable to the town • improved maintenance and environmentally friendly weed control of the Town’s gateway corridors and parks; • additional funding for snow removal; • an Emerald Ash Borer program; • repairs to Nick Smith Centre infrastructure and parking lot; • engineering designs for planned upgrades to Second Avenue, McGonigal Street and Baskin Drive. • an increase in crossing guard pay from $12.47 to $13 an hour. Councillors agreed that such a positive budget, with its zero per cent tax rate increase, no new borrowing and significant allocation to reserves, wouldn’t have been possible without the improvements staff made to the town’s financial processes and practices. The new best practice-based business improvements include tighter spending controls on discretionary expenditures, successful grant applications and other im-

proved accounting and financial processes. It was also noted the decision by council to move to a regional policing model in 2013 by merging the Arnprior OPP detachment with Renfrew’s has saved town taxpayers more than $400,000. That was come without any reduction in level of service,” said Reid, adding that “I haven’t receiving any complaints … in fact I’ve heard compliments.” Reid promised the drive for improvements to the town’s financial position will not end with the passing of the budget. In March, staff will present council with a proposal to convert the town’s aged streetlights to LED streetlights, he noted. It is currently estimated that converting to LED streetlights has the potential to save Arnprior taxpayers as much as $1.5 million over 15 years, he said. Councillors congratulated staff on preparing an easy-to-understand budget. Coun. Ted Strike said in his 30 years dealing with municipal budgets, this one was the easiest to follow. “This was a pleasure.” Reeve Walter Stack said of the last nine budgets he has dealt with, this process was by far the best. “The comments are pretty well unanimous,” said Reid, who thanked councillors for their “determination to work collaboratively in the best interests of Arnprior taxpayers, as well as all Town of Arnprior staff, who under the leadership of the senior management team have delivered a tremendous budget in 2013 and again in 2014.” “I asked a lot from staff and they always delivered,” said Wildman. “It was really great work by the entire team.”

News – Money for physician recruitment and a full-time ďŹ re chief position are among the McNab-Braeside budget considerations this year. Council has started budget deliberations, but it will not be until March or April that the document is ďŹ nalized. The process began Jan. 22 and meetings were held Jan. 27 and 28. “We’re still doing the to and fro,â€? said Mayor Mary Campbell. There’s no indication yet what the ďŹ nal tally will be, but a property tax increase is likely given the number of ďŹ nancial pressures the township is facing. Recreation is an issue that continues to be in the foreground. “We still don’t have a recreation strategy,â€? said Mayor Campbell. While several options were discussed during deliberations, there were no ďŹ nal decisions on how to proceed.

EDITORIAL

Find them jobs they want to do Opinion – The focus on job creation for youth in last week’s federal budget is encouraging. It’s interesting that the government is bankrolling the program with the help of the $4-acarton tax increase on cigarettes. You’d think at least some of that money should go into programs deterring youth from starting to smoke in the first place. Perhaps the government feels if youth have jobs they will less inclined to smoke, given that workplaces are smoke-free in Ontario. They’ll have to hope that the youth don’t spend their newly acquired earnings on tobacco products. Nevertheless, no matter how the new program is funded, it makes sense to modernize the efforts so youth are trained for jobs that are actually there for them when they’re ready to enter the work force. However, when rolling out the youth creation program, the government should take into account mistakes made in past initiatives. The main one is not to get carried away and force people into jobs for which they are unsuited. Back a couple of decades ago, governments started to realize that the baby boomer generation and people living longer would generate a growing number of jobs involving the care of seniors. As a result, youth and the unemployed were pushed, with financial incentives and promises of guaranteed employment, into jobs such as personal support workers. A large number of very skilled PSWs came out of those job creation programs. But when

dealing with seniors, and anyone else needing special care, you need to have compassion and a passion for the job. Unfortunately, there were some job hunters, seduced by the promise of a secure pay cheque, who should never have gone into that profession. Likewise, there was the push to have youth to go into new technology-related professions at the start of the computer age. Then it was followed by the high-tech crash in this area and only those with a real aptitude for the fast-changing computer world held on to their jobs. Now the pendulum is swinging back to the encouraging of more traditional jobs to deal with shortages in such professions as mechanics, plumbers and construction workers. But the government shouldn’t go overboard in pushing youth into these areas if they don’t really have their hearts in it. The last thing you want is to have a people working on your car or fixing your toilet if they really don’t want to be there. The results could be disastrous and even dangerous. Granted, the new job creation program should encourage youth to train for jobs that have a realistic chance being there for them when they finish their education. But it also should also ensure, with crucial input from parents and schools, that youth are headed to jobs they enjoy once they’re employed, or at least have the flexibility to change professions if that’s not the case.

Five things to know about OPP municipal policing To the Editor: There is currently a healthy and important debate underway about the cost of policing in Ontario and future sustainability. Part of that discussion involves how the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) delivers police services to 324 municipalities and our current billing model, which is under review. In the interest of contributing to informed debate, here are five things everyone who lives in an OPP-policed municipality should know. 1. All municipalities must provide policing services to their constituents. They can do this in a several ways. Just one of these is contracting services from the OPP under Section 10 of the Police Services Act (PSA). A municipality may also: establish a police service; enter into an agreement with one or more other municipal councils to constitute a joint police service board; enter into an agreement with one or more councils to amalgamate their police services; or contract

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide -C'ONIGAL 3T 7 !RNPRIOR + 3 ,

T: 613-224-3330 F: 613-224-2265 0UBLISHED WEEKLY BY

services from an adjacent police service (a police service that shares a political boundary with the contracting municipality). If none of these choices are exercised, policing services are provided by default by the OPP under Section 5.1 of the PSA. Municipalities have these policing choices and many decide on the OPP for a variety of good reasons. I am pleased to report that OPP-policed communities report a high level of satisfaction with our services. 2. Provincial regulations require the full and fair cost recovery from municipalities for OPP services. The OPP and the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services are in the midst of a Billing Model Review that will result in a fairer, more transparent and less complex process – something many municipalities have demanded. The total revenues recovered under the new model will still be solely cost recovery, but some municipalities will pay more and some will pay less. 3. The Provincial Auditor General has

Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104 Regional General Manager Peter O’Leary poleary@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 112 Group Publisher Duncan Weir dweir@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 164 Regional Managing Editor Ryland Coyne rcoyne@perfprint.ca Publisher: Mike Tracy mtracy@perfprint.ca

also recommended that the Ontario Provincial Police should simplify its costing and billing methods. He also said the OPP should make the billing and costing methods more transparent and “address the issues that result in municipalities paying different rates (2012 Provincial Audit).� In 2015, under the proposed billing model an estimated base cost per household of $260 would be charged along with a cost for Calls for Service. OPP-policed municipalities that currently pay lower than $300 per household should see their policing costs rise; municipalities that currently pay more than $400 per household should see their policing costs drop. Let’s be honest, some municipalities have enjoyed unrealistically low policing costs with the OPP for many years, while others have paid much higher per household due to a complex billing process.

To the Editor: The Braeside Carnival was a great success thanks so much to the volunteers who made the day fun and memorable. The breakfast was excellent. Good job as usual. Howie LeBrun and Paul LeBlanc cooked the pancakes and a lady named Sheila assisted them. Dan LeBlanc cooked the eggs in the lower stairs kitchen with the assistance of Ryan who did the running and made sure things got to where they needed to be, and Devon Kingsbury kept things neat and tidy. Thanks to all of you, the food was great. The men’s baking contest was again well represented. The best presentation was hand-down the entry from Howie LeBrun and it tasted good too, but we can’t always have Howie win, so Dan took the honour of first place. Ryan took second and Howie third, much to the surprise of everyone there. Mayor Mary Campbell noted that the renovations of the lady’s washroom and both changerooms were done by Dan and Paul LeBlanc and Howie LeBrun with money raised from the Braeside Cup. Good job, guys.

Why the federal Conservatives won’t follow Liberal lead on Senate reform To the editor: Justin Trudeau caught the Conservatives flat-footed by stopping the practice of Senators attending caucus meetings. This measure signals what should become a big change in Canadian politics if Liberals form a government.

Why? Senators are allowed to hold board memberships on Canadian and multinational business corporations. A board member must by law exercise a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interests of the corporation at all times. By cutting access to the Liberal caucus, Trudeau has effec-

tively promised to remove a source of privileged information, advance notice and inside lobbying on behalf of those corporations. Many people will claim that caucus discussions and decisions are secret. They are to you and me and the news outlets. Imagine how long

a Senator sitting on any board would continue to receive the substantial payday if the corporation has to learn about government initiatives like you and I do? I predict the Conservative government will not follow Trudeau’s lead, since it means cutting ties with cor-

OPP wage increase first in three years GIRONES Continued from Page 8

Addressing this discrepancy is the right thing to do, although we acknowledge that the transition for the municipalities who will experience rising costs will be difficult. The Ontario government is considering ways to lessen the financial impact during the transition to a new billing model. 4. The OPP Cost Recovery Formula resulted in a reduction of one per cent in billing for direct operating expenses (gas, uniforms, computers, etc.) from 2010 to 2013. This was a significant accomplishment compared to other police services, which are also struggling with rising costs in a time of restraint. I must acknowledge that uniform salaries, which are increase in not part of the Cost Recovery Formula, are 80 to 85 per cent of the overall costs charged to OPP-policed municipalities. After two years without receiving a general wages (2012, 2013), OPP officers received an increase of 8.55 per cent in 2014 to raise the salary of an OPP Provincial Constable to be equal to that of the highest paid police service in the province. The OPP will have to recover these costs in the municipalities it polices.

5. Regardless of any changes to billing and the wage raise in 2014, the OPP remains the most cost-effective policing option for many municipalities in Ontario. OPP costs, on average, are less than half of the average cost of municipal police services in the province (based on OPP and Ministry of Finance data). While the per household cost of policing can vary widely under the current billing model, our low per-household cost average tells us that the OPP is doing a really good job of being cost-effective and efficient. The men and the women of the OPP are dedicated professionals who provide a wide range of policing services to Ontario’s communities. We continue to work hard each and every day to keep the trust and confidence of the people of this province. We look forward to continuing to work with all of our partners to ensure a safe and secure Ontario.

When are there too many animals in an ecosystem, nature takes care of it

MICHAEL RUNTZ

White-tailed Deer browse higher by standing on their hind legs.

Lifestyle - There has been a long-running misconception that Nature is in balance, and that animal populations remain steady. When one species becomes too common, if it is a huntable species, such as White-tailed Deer or Wild Turkey, then certain people think it to be a good thing. But if the animal is a Coyote or a Black Bear, animals considered “undesirable� by that same faction, they quite literally get up in arms. When that happens, vicious propaganda and fear-mongering prevail. But Nature is rarely in balance, with populations of plants and animals rising and falling like tides along a beach. Whenever a species proliferates there is usually a ripple effect, a chain reaction in other species. And when that “keystone� species experiences a population decline, its benefactors soon follow suit. Over the past half-century we have seen a dramatic increase in White-tailed Deer

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way numbers. “Great� thought the hunting community, which helped the trend by feeding deer during winter, thus allowing more to survive and give birth to more fawns the following spring. But when Coyotes or Eastern Wolves began to exploit the bounty, “bloody murder� was shouted, and war was declared on those predators. Sadly we continue to offer no protection to Coyotes in this province, and controversial “Coyote Culls� have been allowed to take place.

In Nature, prey species such as Snowshoe Hares, Meadow Voles and White-tailed Deer always outnumber their predators. Of course this makes sense, for otherwise predators could not survive. The larger the predator, the higher it resides on the pyramidal food web, and, therefore, the fewer of its kind. When herbivores such as White-tailed Deer increase in numbers, there are dramatic effects on vegetation. Being relatively large animals, deer eat a lot, as much as 10 kg of plant tissue a day. In areas with large deer populations, there are virtually no spring flowers such as White Trilliums because they have all been devoured. In cedar woods where deer concentrate in winter, all growth from the ground to as high as the deer can reach is eaten, leaving a distinct line called the browse line. Some species such as Yellow Birch are especially favoured and when deer populations are high, there is very little regeneration of those trees.

Eastern Coyotes eat small mammals such as Meadow Voles, but in packs they also kill deer. When that happens, not only coyotes benefit. Many other animals including eagles scavenge the leftovers. Additionally, when a predator kills, it first has to chase its prey. In normal conditions, a healthy deer often escapes while a sick or weak animal is usually caught. This “weeding out� of inferior animals helps strengthen the remaining population. So do we have too many deer or too many coyotes? Well there certainly can be too many deer for an ecosystem. But Nature is able to take care of itself quite nicely. This winter deep snow is likely taking its toll on deer, and a healthy coyote population could be helping as well. Regardless, Nature certainly sure doesn’t need our help to maintain an imaginary “balance!� The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

Sports - It was a loud and intense night in the Arnprior District High School gym and when the dust settled, the senior Redmen basketball team was again Renfrew County champion. The boys hosted an exciting title game against the Fellowes Falcons Feb. 13 in McEwen Gym. Both teams were 8-1 in the regular season. The Redmen got off to a fast start offensively, jumping out to a 12-4 lead early on, but Fellowes fought back to tie the game 23-23 at halftime. In the second half the contest remained very close with no team ever ahead by more than five points. Halfway through the fourth, Fellowes led by four points, but the Redmen took advantage of Falcon foul trouble and made some free throws down the stretch to win 49-46. Jaegar Prot led Arnprior with 15 points, Chad Brennan and Richard Jorgensen each had eight points, and Nathan Toman chipped in with seven. Forrest Mahoney led the Falcons with 17. It was the senior Redmen’s fifth straight county title. They travel to Fellowes in Pembroke today (Thursday) and Friday to compete in the EOSSAA championship. “I don’t think many would have thought our team would have won the championship this year given that we lost so many players from last year’s team and because we were undersized,� said coach Phil Moore. “However, I knew we had shooters and that if we tightened up defensively we could play with many teams. I am very proud of this year’s team - they have been a pleasure to coach and have worked hard all season.� In the semi-final Feb. 11, ADHS defeated Opeongo 7537, with a balanced attack. Prot led the way with 16 points, Jorgensen and Keenan laughlin each had 11, Thomas McMann had 10, Brennan 9 and Toman 8.

Eastern Ontario hospitals facing harshest cuts, say hospital unions News - The announcement that Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH) plans to cut birthing and obstetrics services is just another sign eastern Ontario hospitals are quickly becoming “ground zero for health service cuts in Ontario,â€? says Michael Hurley, president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU). He is urging the public to launch a campaign to ďŹ ght cuts at community hospitals. In a news release Feb.

14, Hurley claimed that downsizing hospitals, cutting beds and shedding services are the basis for the provincial Liberal government’s health care delivery ‘reforms’. “Small rural hospitals are particularly threatened under this plan,â€? he said. Hurley made the comments after RVH announced it will close its obstetrics unit in June. The closure comes following “signiďŹ cant bed, surgery, procedure and therapy cutsâ€?

area patients. He also expressed concern that Ottawa will see thousands of procedures moved from the Ottawa Hospital and privatized to private clinics, some of them for-proďŹ t. “Short of closing hospitals as is happening in Niagara, it appears that eastern Ontario is seeing the harshest cuts to hospital services than elsewhere in the province,â€? he said. Cutting obstetrics is particularly “shortsighted,â€? said Hurley. “Communities need both the young

at neighbouring hospitals in Arnprior and Perth and Smiths Falls, said Hurley. He pointed out that six beds were ‘de-staffed’ and closed early last summer at Arnprior hospital. Hospital administration maintains that the money has been reallocated to more efďŹ cient health care initiatives. Hurley charged that there are plans to cut more services in physiotherapy and diagnostic imaging in Arnprior, meaning longer waiting times for

and the old to stay vibrant. If young families can’t access health services including birthing at the local hospital, they will not be moving to Renfrew,â€? he said. “Cutting hospital services is not a way to build and grow the community. It is the exact opposite of what Renfrew needs. If this cut happens, there will be no babies (unless born at home) with Renfrew as their birth place. And that is such a loss.â€? RVH administration maintains the aging population and falling demand for the service, along with a shortage of obstetricians are the main reasons for the decision. Arnprior hospital doesn’t provide a maternity service either, so expectant mothers in this area have to go to Almonte, Pembroke or Ottawa to give birth in a hospital. Hurley noted that in Perth and Smiths Falls the communities have formed a local coalition, which has been actively ďŹ ghting the closure of 12 hospital beds and cuts to hip, knee and cataract surgeries, the day hospital, palliative care, physician recruitment and non-emergency surgery. Hurley is encouraging the Renfrew community to mobilize, like they’ve done in Perth and in Smiths Falls, to keep obstetrics at the local hospital or “face the slow and eventual death of their community hospital.â€? He is also calling on the RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski to speak out against the cut to obstetrics at the RVH.

Packers finish third, play Almonte Thunder in first round

Sean Marcellus

Sports – It was a close call, but in the end the Arnprior Junior B Packers clinched a playoff berth on the final day of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League regular season. The Packers were in the fight for first place in the Valley Division a month ago, but six losses in their final seven games left them on the verge of falling out of the playoffs. Fortunately for Arnprior, Stittsville lost to Perth and Shawville fell to Renfrew Sunday, leaving the Packers in third place by a whisker, as four of the five teams in the division finished within one point of each other. The Packers open the playoffs on the road against second-place Almonte tonight (Thursday) at 7:30 before coming home to host the Thunder in game two of the best-of-seven series this Friday, Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. Renfrew plays Shawville in the other series, with Stittsville and Perth missing the playoffs by a single point each. Arnprior’s late season slump came in conjunction with a string of injuries to key veterans and a series of games with desperate teams fighting for a playoff berth. A 3-0 win over Renfrew Feb. 5 and a point gained last Friday thanks to a clutch goal in the last 15 seconds in a 5-4 shootout loss to Shawville proved crucial to earning a playoff spot.

The Packers closed out the season last week with home losses 4-2 to Stittsville Wednesday and the 5-4 to Shawville Friday. PACKERS 2 STITTSVILLE 4

Trailing 1-0 midway through the first period the Packers scored two quick power-play goals by Jake Gaudet and Nick Wysman to go up 2-1. The score remained that way until the third period when Stittsville tied the score just two minutes in before scoring a power-play goal of their own a few minutes later. The Packers pushed hard, but Stittsville goaltender Patrick Kealey shut the door before the Royals scored an empty-netter to make it 42 and come away with a victory that kept them in the playoff hunt. PACKERS 4 PONTIACS 5 (SO)

In what would turn out to be the Packers biggest game of the year, it would be nothing less than a barnburner from start to finish. After an exciting but scoreless first period, Shawville struck first in the second period to go up 1-0 just over a minute in. The score remained that way until Nick Wysman scored his second goal in as many games to tie the score 1-1. The third period is where the game would get interesting as Arnprior scored just 16 seconds in when

Patrick McGrath buried his 19th of the season after Damian Armstrong found him wide open at the corner of the crease. Just over two minutes later, Armstrong found the net to put the Packers up 3-1. Shawville answered just over a minute later on the power-play when Anthony Rea walked in untouched and beat Packers goalie Erik Miksik high to cut into the lead. The score was tied 3-3 with just five minutes remaining before Shawville took the lead with only 51 seconds left on the clock. With the goalie pulled, Patrick McGrath scored his 20th of the season with only 15 seconds left in the game to tie things 4-4 and help earn Arnprior at least one point. The Packers ended up falling in the shootout, leaving their playoff hopes up in the air and needing a little luck from some out-of-town games over weekend. That single point the Packers earned in their final game would turn

out to be a huge one. PLAYOFFS CLINCHED

With a 19-19-2-1 record and 41 points, the Packers ended up in third place when everything was said and done. The Stittsville Royals, who played five games in six nights last week partially to make up cancelled contests, fell 3-2 to Almonte Saturday and 4-2 to Perth Sunday afternoon, punching the Packers ticket to the playoffs. A 5-4 Renfrew regulation victory Sunday night over Shawville left the Pontiacs in fourth, setting up the match-ups for the first round of the Valley Division playoffs: first-place Renfrew will meet fourth-place Shawville while second-place Almonte will face off with the Packers. SEMI-FINAL SCHEDULE

Arnprior Packers vs. Almonte Thunder

The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League announced Saturday that Erik Miksik of the Arnprior Packers was named the Valley Division Goaltender of the Year. Miksik, who came over in an off-season trade with the Stittsville Royals, led the Metro/Valley Conference in wins (18), shutouts (2), saves (1,301), while posting a strong .905 save percentage and 3.54 GAA. He was praised for having a steadying influence on a young Packers team. Last season he backstopped the Athens Aeros to a Rideau/St. Lawrence Conference championship. Miksik was also Arnprior’s choice for the Paul Poupore Award for combining hockey and scholastics. Other Valley Division awards included former Packer defenseman Ted Suckow of Renfrew as defenceman of the year, Shawville’s Mathew Labrosse as rookie of the year, and Blair Barr of Perth as most valuable and most gentlemanly player, as well as top scorer.

Dietary Department is Responsive of Patient Feedback Arnprior Regional Health’s Food Services Department is working to enhance the patient experience at Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital. We are listening to patient feedback received through inpatient surveys, post discharge phone calls, and through the Patient Family Advisory Council. We want to encourage patients to lead a healthy lifestyle and understand how nutrition impacts our health. We hope that by following our menu, patients will recall the foods that were acceptable during their stay and continue to eat the types of foods when they return home. Our menu is designed to provide all patients with healthy options which are reduced in sodium, fat, and cholesterol. Recently we implemented some new products such as a salt substitute (Mrs. Dash). This was well received and has reduced concerns about food being bland. We also introduced a new orange flavor nutritional supplement which takes on more of a juice taste as opposed to milky taste for those who do not like milk. We recognize how important it is to respond to feedback and ensure patients know they are being heard and have options available to them. We have reviewed portion sizes based on feedback and have increased food supplies on the Inpatient unit and in Emergency. We introduced a local HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) certified produce company and are offering more fresh fruits, vegetables and salads on the menu. The meal delivery system at the Arnprior Hospital provides patients with a meal choice at point of service. A Food Service Worker cook Greg Palubiskie prepares a greets each patient and takes their order and within a couple of minutes your meal is presented to you. The patients seem to really Certified meal for a patient. enjoy this personable service. Feedback from speaking directly with our patients has been positive indicating that they like that the food is served up hot right outside their room. We are aiming to meet individual preferences and offer more choice for patients with special dietary needs. Our staff is courteous, professional and very accommodating to the needs of patients. We are currently developing a spring & summer menu. We have formed a Menu Planning Committee (MPC). This committee includes a multidisciplinary team of staff and of members from the Patient Family Advisory Council. The purpose of MPC is to enhance the patient experience by creating varied menu selections of nutritious and appetizing comfort foods to meet each patient's individual needs. It is great to have everyone’s input as we evaluate the nutritional content of products. This is a wonderful working group and we are enjoying the sampling of great new products! If you have any feedback you would like to share concerning the food offered throughout Arnprior Regional Health please let us know. feedback@arnpriorhealth.ca or by phone 613-623-7962 x293

Valley Pride earns back-to-back bronze medals Sports – The Valley Pride Bantam girls basketball team had a busy couple of weekends, taking bronze medals in back-to-back tournaments. February started with the team heading to the annual Spirits Classic in Belleville. The Pride lost their first game of the tournament in a close game with the Gloucester Wolverines #2. The Wolverines came out on top 38-30. Valley Pride then went on to record victories over Kingston Impact 41-8 and tournament hosts Belleville Spirits 37-33, before losing their semifinal to the Capitol Xelles from Ottawa 35-12. In the bronze medal game, Valley Pride were victorious over the Cambridge Centaurs to claim the bronze medal with a hard-fought 36-33 win. Individual player-of-the-game honours went to Eli Scott (Renfrew), Kelsey Naismith (Renfrew) and Sydney Moore (Arnprior). Up next for the Valley Pride was the Mike O’Connor Memorial Tournament hosted by the Gloucester Wolverines Feb. 7-9. Once again the Valley Pride lost its opening game 38-31 to Polypus E.S. Bernard-Gariepy out of Montreal. The team went on to a big 27-17 victory over the Kemptville Warriors before a showdown with the Gloucester Wolverines #2 for the second week in a row. The Valley Pride team was able to overcome a late 10-point deficit, capped by a last-second shot at the buzzer to knock the host team from Gloucester out of medal contention with a onepoint victory 26-25. The Valley Pride went on to beat the Nepean Blue Devils #2 37-25 to capture the bronze medal for the second weekend in a row. The Pride played home games last weekend at Arnprior District High School both Saturday and Sunday.

Juvenile Packers begin playoffs this Friday Sports – The Arnprior Juvenile Packers finished the regular season on a high note in Smith Falls, beating the Bears 14-0 with zero penalties. With spirits high and confidence abounding, the Juvenile Packers are ready for the playoffs. Their first playoff game is against Stittsville this Friday, Feb 21 at 8:30 p.m. in Arnprior. Osgoode-Rideau is the odds-on favourite to meet Arnprior in the final, but Stittsville has been very strong in the last half of the season and could challenge any of the teams at the top. Arnprior cannot take their strong lead in the regular season as a guarantee of a championship. Any team making the playoffs is capable of a winning streak that could knock out any of the leaders with hard work and a little bit of luck.

SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Residential school survivor Viola Thomas chronicles her residential school experiences with native studies students at Arnprior District High School. It was an eye-opener for the students.

Residential school survivor shares pain with students Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Community – “I was taken from my family when I was five years old.” Arnprior District High School native studies students heard first-hand about the lasting negative effects of Canada’s residential schools when residential school survivor Viola Thomas spoke to them in January. “Most Canadians don’t have an appreciation of our shared history,” said Thomas, who works with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. “I want Canadians to have a better understanding of how that shared history has affected First Nations people and a better appreciation of the pain a lot of indigenous people are dealing with. The ownership of this history belongs with all Canadians,” said Thomas.

Her work with the Truth Commission and her presentations to school and various organizations and groups is a result of her desire to raise awareness of the issue. “Residential schools were not unique to Canada,” said Thomas, who is from Kamloops, B.C. “They existed all over the world.” The schools are known to have done significant harm to Aboriginal children who were removed from their families and deprived of their ancestral languages and culture. Many of the students suffered physical and sexual abuse at the hands of staff and other students. Following the largest class-action suit in Canada, the federal government offered a public apology in June 2008. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established around this time to further delve into the issue. “Many children died because of

poor nutrition, tuberculosis, suicide or froze to death running away,” said Thomas. She told the students to imagine being taken from their home and families and shipped off to one of the schools. “More than 18,000 youth from different reservations were forced to attend the schools,” said Thomas. Attendance was mandatory. “We didn’t have a choice,” said Thomas. “And parents who tried to protect their children from going were imprisoned.” Thomas’ mother attended a residential school from Grades 1-4 and many of her siblings shared her fate. Thomas is one of 16 children. “Of the 16 children, half of us went to the same residential school my mother did,” she said. “You had to stay,” she said. “You only could go home at Christmas break and Easter break.”

The school Thomas attended was built in 1890 by the Catholic Church of Canada. Half of the day was spent on the basics of math, reading and writing and social studies. The other half for boys involved mechanics and carpentry and for girls sewing, laundry and cooking, explained Thomas. There was no trace of the familiar First Nations languages, traditions or culture. “The intent of the schools was to kill the Indian in the child,” said Thomas. She reminded students of those responsible for the schools. “This was a policy of Sir John A. Macdonald,” she said. “My hope is Canadians will also know his racist history. His attitude towards indigenous people was very much seeing them as inferior.” Part of the Truth Commission’s mandate is trying to determine exact-

ly how many children died in the 150 years residential schools operated in Canada. The effects of the schools on First Nations people are tragic and longlasting. High rates of incarceration, addiction, mental health issues and children in the welfare system are among the problems faced by aboriginal communities. “We were always told we were stupid, we were inferior,” said Thomas. “We grew up timid and fearful, with no sense of trust.” Her view of others was coloured by her residential school experiences. “I used to think all white people were bad people,” said Thomas. One of the things that helped her through those tough times was reading. “I became a reader of books. That was my safe haven,” she said. “I was glad I had the ability to lose myself in literature.”

work, and Vekey enjoys a short conversation with each senior. They then take the money to No Frills, where a cashier tallies the money with the orders, which they have already pulled and bagged, and the two friends load the groceries into the L’Arche wheelchair van. Recently, they’ve had such large orders that they’ve been wheeling the grocery cart right into the van. Then it’s back to the seniors’ homes. At each stop, Veley reminds Walczak about the things that he needs to remember to do. They carry the groceries in from the van, give the client their receipt and spend some time visiting. They often see the same people each week, and once they get to know each other enjoy having

the loveliest conversations. After they’ve dropped the boxes, which the groceries were packed in, back at No Frills, Walczak and Veley choose a local restaurant to visit. Veley is saving his stickers, and is looking forward to a free coffee next week. They pay for their treats, and settle in for their weekly chat with each other. Walczak finds out from Veley what’s new in community. Veley talks about each of the seniors whom they have seen that day, where they live and what they’ve purchased. He is impressed by the fact that many of them still live on their own, some all by themselves. Some weeks Walczak isn’t available. Veley trains the new assistants, directing them to the right apartments, introducing

them to the seniors, and letting them know that he’s looking forward to having Walczak back the next week. The day I shadowed them on their rounds, they delivered to a lady who was going to celebrate her 90th birthday the next week, so we were able to wish her an early happy birthday. She first started with this program just a year ago, and expressed how thankful she was for it because it is so hard for her to get out, especially in the winter. Veley and Walczak find that the seniors they serve often express appreciation for this service, and for the time that these two men are happy to spend chatting with them. See L’ARCHE Page 26

Community – This month, I’d like to introduce you to two very community-minded men: Ken Veley, a core member at L’Arche Arnprior, and Frank Walczak, president of the L’Arche Arnprior board. They partner with ArnpriorBraeside-McNab Seniors at Home, which runs a weekly Seniors’ Shopping Program in conjunction with the No Frills grocery store in town. In January, I shadowed them as they did their shopping, and would like to share with you how this program works. Veley, a retired man who spends his weekdays at Community Living Renfrew County South (CLRCS), was looking for a way to make a bit of extra spending money. When Carolyn Miller of CLRCS asked him if he would like a job, he was thrilled, especially as it involved two of his favorite things: meeting new people, and food. For the first little while, he accompanied Miller on her weekly rounds, but soon there was a large enough demand for the service that L’Arche Arnprior took over half of the caseload. The homes co-ordinator at L’Arche, Tracy Tenedero, worked with Veley, delivering groceries to seniors for the first few months. Then the new L’Arche board president, Frank Walczak, stuck his head in the office and stated that now that he was retired, he had extra time on his hands and was looking for a way to be more connected to community. Tenedero ‘trained’ these two fine men that first week, and now they are a team. This is what their day looks like. At lunch hour, faxes arrive at the L’Arche office with the names and addresses of those seniors who have placed an order for that week. Walczak picks up Veley at CLRCS – he is usually waiting at the door in anticipation. They map out their route, and go around to each home to collect the money for that grocery order. Walczak fills out the paper-

House parties would always bring special magic Lifestyle - When I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey how people knew where the next Saturday night house party was being held, without their being asked, she said it was very simple. Central just got on the switchboard and called everyone in Northcote, and told them where it was, and she also told them not to forget to bring something for the lunch. Well, that all made perfect sense to me.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

so there was still lots of room for tables for euchre, and a place for the fiddlers and guitar players to sit when it came time to change from cards to square dancing. I knew, without asking, that out in the summer kitchen 11 quart baskets would be sitting wrapped in clean towels, and then piled under blankets to keep the innards from freezing. I could see the big white granite teapots teaming on the back of the cook stove … everything was ready for a great night of fun. The very youngest of the children, and that included me, would soon tire of watching the adults at their card games, and we would head upstairs to play Jacks or marbles or snakes and ladders.

The bedrooms were large at Aunt Bertha’s, much larger than ours across the field. But like ours, the beds were made up of soft downy feather ‘tickings’, puffy and inviting. Upstairs we could hear the laughter and the tables being slapped when someone yelled “Euchre!” It would be a late night. Much later than we younger ones were used to. And it didn’t take long for one after the other of us to crawl onto one of the downy beds – just to rest a bit as Joyce would say. There were so many of us that we had to lay crossways on the beds, so that everyone had a place. Beatrice, who was a great story teller, would start into one of her tales, and Cora might sing. And that’s when the magic would happen. I had no idea it was even talking place, and it would take some time for me to realize it had. But I would waken, and the sun would be pouring in the window. Just like magic, I would be back in my own bed,

in the very room I shared with my sister Audrey in our old log house across the 20-acre field. How did it happen? How could I possibly fall asleep in an upstairs bedroom at Aunt Bertha’s, right between my two best friends, Joyce and Velma, and waken the next morning in my bed? I would go downstairs and look for my sister Audrey, and once again we would share my secret question. “How did it happen, Audrey? How did I fall asleep at the Thoms with the music playing downstairs, and then wake up in my own bed?” Audrey would say the same words she said every time I asked. “It’s just Renfrew County magic, Mary … just Renfrew County magic.” It would be many years before I would know that it was my father who would wrap me in a blanket after the Saturday night party came to an end, and carry me to the sleigh and tuck me into my own bed. Magic indeed!

ABMSH offers various programs geared towards seniors and those with special needs, one of which includes ‘Seniors Shopping’, a grocery shopping program to assist those who may be confined to their home due to illness, or who have had recent surgery, or who find it difficult to walk and stand in the grocery stores for any length of time.

That Saturday, it was being held at Aunt Bertha’s and Uncle Alec’s home, just across the 20-acre field, so that meant the place would be fair jumping! With their large family, our five and goodness knows how many other kids from the Northcote area, it would be a rip-roarin’ night. I asked Audrey, who I thought was the smartest girl in Renfrew County, if she thought it would be another night of magic. The magic I was talking about was a secret between my sister and me. “It could be,” she said with a grin. As soon as the evening chores were done, a hurried supper eaten, and our next-to-Sunday best clothes put on, we headed across the field in the flat-bottom sleigh. We were the first to arrive. Within minutes the yard was full of sleighs and cutters, and Aunt Bertha’s usually immaculate kitchen was full of boots, and outerwear piled in a heap in a corner. Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alex had one of the largest kitchens in the Northcote area,

Community - Unlock the enjoyment of reading; become a member of ‘The Book Worms’. The Book Worms is a reading club and one of the many programs offered by Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home (ABMSH). It was started in 2010 under the direction of ABMSH executive director Dennis Harrington, and the much-needed guidance of volunteers Katherine MillerGatenby and Margo Levy, both lovers of the printed word. Today the The Book Worms have five regular members and one snowbird member who eaves the nest each winter only to return to her bookworm friends in April. The Book Worms are always open to new members or even folks who may be first interested in dropping in to see what the group is all about. They meet once a month (the second Wednesday) in the lounge of Baskin Place, Arnprior, at 1:30 p.m, after enjoying fellowship and a delightful lunch together. If driving is an issue, there are three members of The Book Worms who would be available and willing to provide transportation. “We are pretty adamant that we don’t want anyone to feel as though they are unable to join us because transportation is an issue,” said Miller-Gatenby. The club also makes sure that copies of the chosen reads are available either from the library or by borrowing from another member or a friend of a member. “The cost of books is not a barrier to joining,” emphasize 375 DANIEL Miller-Gatenby

Margo Levy, left, and Katherine Miller-Gatenby both share in their love for reading as well as the different formats today’s world has to offer the reading public. Both women are members of the ‘The Book Worms’, a book club offered by ArnpriorBraeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program. and Levy. Selecting books is by consensus, following a discussion in which all suggestions are considered. Miller-Gatenby pointed out that: “We have read some amazing books based on suggestions from our members. Books that we would never have even looked at otherwise. That makes it fun and interesting.” The club is now reading Road Ends by Mary Lawson, a Canadian novelist born

in southwestern Ontario. Published in November 2013, Road Ends is fiction and has been given a four-star rating by the reading public. When available, a movie from the monthly book selection is also shown and enjoyed by the group. If you would like to join this fun, loving-lover of books club, you are invited to contact either Margo at 613-623-7612 or Katherine at 613-622-0509.

News – The focus on job creation in the federal budget brought down Feb. 11 should be good for the riding, says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. In a news release, Gallant said the budget, detailing the government’s Economic Action Plan for this year, maintains the Conservatives’ focus on economic growth, and keeping taxes low – along with its plan to get back to balance by 2015. “While Canada has the strongest job creation record among all G-7 countries, with more than one million net new jobs created since the depth of the global recession, too many Canadians are still looking for work,â€? admitted Gallant “That’s why Economic Action Plan 2014 will continue our Conservative Government’s focus on creating more jobs and growing the economy in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke and across the country.â€? She pointed to the following budget aspects that will help people in this area: • launching the Canada Job Grant so that Canadians can get the skills training they need to get in-demand jobs; • supporting Atomic Energy of Canada Limited by investing $117 million in AECL to maintain safe and reliable operations at the Chalk River Laboratories, ensuring a secure supply of medical isotopes; • creating the Canada Apprentice Loan, which will provide apprentices in Red Seal trades access to over $100 million in interest-free loans each year; • launching a Job Matching Service to automatically match Canadians looking for work with employers looking to hire them; • supporting farmers by expanding the tax deferral for livestock to include bees and all horses over 12 months; • removing beer industry red tape; • increasing Paid Internships for Young Canadians in small and medium-sized businesses and in high-demand fields; • supporting Canada’s Forestry Sector by investing more than $90 million to advance cutting edge technologies; • helping older workers get back to work by investing $75 million to support older workers who want to participate in the job market;

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant with federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, who introduced the country’s 2014 budget Feb. 11. • cutting 800,000 payroll remittances for 50,000 small businesses; • investing in Canada’s national parks and historic canals, conserving recreational fisheries, expanding tax relief for the environmental conservation of lands and encouraging clean energy generation with tax relief to new green technologies; • enhancing tax relief for families adopting a child; • capping wholesale wireless rates; • cracking down on cross-border price discrimination; • improving broadband in rural and remote communities; • implementing the Victim’s Bill of Rights and proving funding for a DNAbased Missing Persons Index. “When it comes to health care, education and other important social services that families rely on, under our Conservative Government federal support has grown to historic levels, and will continue to grow into the future,â€? claimed Gallant. As expected, the federal budget did not

impress the Opposition NDP. Instead of taking action to help Canadians who are struggling to make ends meet, the Conservatives’ “do-nothing budget cynically withholds any real assistance until 2015 when the Conservatives can profit most,� says an NDP release. “Telling Canadians who need help now to wait until 2015 is disappointing and opportunistic,� said Official Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair. “Budgets are about priorities. It’s very telling that the Conservatives would rather attack public servants, environmental groups, unions – anyone who dares to criticize their short-sighted policies – than help Canadians.� He noted the Conservatives have ignored the NDP’s “practical, low-cost solutions,� including reining in credit card rates, capping ATM fees, restoring the ecoEnergy Retrofit – Homes tax credit, and providing job creation tax credits for youth and small businesses.

Reaction mixed to federal budget Continued from Page 32

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said the cutting $641 million in transfers that help support programs the people of Ontario rely on is just the latest in a series of federal government moves that hurt people and businesses across the province. On the other hand, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) said it is encouraged that the Conservatives are on track to keep their election promise and balance the budget in 2014-15. “The challenge facing all parties and leaders now is to return the projected $30 billion surplus to Canadian taxpayers over the next five years, by paying down debt and reversing EI payroll tax hikes,” said CTF federal director Gregory Thomas. “Canadians would rather see more money on their pay cheque than see $20 million frittered away on snowmobile trails and boutique tax credits,” he added. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce welcome the budget’s focus on economic growth and money allocated for major infrastructure projects, The Federation of Canadian Municipalities said the recognition of the importance of core infrastructure and the need to extending broadband Internet to rural area is good news. However, the budget falls short when it comes to plans for social housing, the organization says, adding that there will be a crisis within five years if action isn’t taken. The National Pensioners Federation also expressed concern that Canada is the only G7 country without a national housing policy. A news release from the federation said the budget highlights cuts to military funding and funding for rural Internet connection, but includes no mention of the aging population. “Canada does not prioritize or protect the income of aging Canadians,” said federation president Herb John.

He pointed out that a proposed increase to the Canada Pension Plan, which has garnered broad support, has not been implemented and that the Conservatives plan on delaying Old Age Security from age 65 to age 67 “without any financial justification.” Labour was also critical of the budget with Unifor national president Jerry Dias commenting that “with more than 390,000 unemployed youth, a small loan fund and a handful of apprenticeships are not going to do the job.” However, Canada’s Building Trades Unions praised the budget for funding apprenticeships that will create highly skilled and well-paying jobs. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters applauded the decision to substantially increase the funding to the Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnership Program by providing an additional $15 million over two years. The Alzheimer Society of Canada praised the commitment to advance research aimed at tackling the growing onset of dementia and related illnesses, and to recognize and provide better support for family caregivers. The Canadian Coalition for Public Health in the 21st Century suggested the budget has more to do with next year’s federal election than it does with protecting and promoting the health of Canadians. “The economy is struggling to recover and now is the time to make strategic investments to promote growth by improving the health of everyone in Canada,” said coalition co-chair Eric Mang. The increase in the tax on cigarettes also received mixed reviews, with the Canadian Cancer Society pleased and business organizations suggesting it will lead to more tobacco smuggling. The budget imposed an immediate increase of $4.03 on a carton of cigarettes, pushing the federal tax to over $21 per carton.

Learn to Run to give a leg up on exercising Emily Edwards Co-op student

Community – The Learn to Run program returns for its fourth consecutive year just in time for area residents to get a head start on their New Year’s fitness resolutions. The 10-week West Carleton-based program beginning on Saturday, March 1 provides participants with a unique strategy towards their fitness goals at no cost. The exercise program is designed to gradually increase the amount of running as participant’s progress through the program each week. At week one, registered participants will begin running for one minute, followed by two minutes of walking. This is repeated nine times. By the end of the program, the group’s participants will

be able to run five kilometres. “The purpose of the Learn to Run program is to promote fitness,� explained organizer of the program, Dayle Mulligan. “We encourage people to try running by supporting them and offering helpful tips, and by being there every Saturday morning to run with them.� The exuberant style of training leaves many Learn to Run graduates with a lasting enthusiasm for running and staying fit. The leaders of the program use many unique methods of guiding participants, aiming to help them commit to a healthier lifestyle. No previous running experience is required, but those interested should be able to walk for 30 minutes in order to have the endurance to start the first session. The weekly training leads up to the 18th annual Diefenbooker Classic; a running, walking and cycling race for all ages. “We hope that after 10 weeks, they love the program and sign up for the Diefenbooker race,� said Mulligan. “The main purpose is to promote fitness, and hopefully they will continue running after the session.� Those interested are asked to attend a short meeting at the Huntley Curling Club in Carp on Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. to sign up for the 10-week program. The meeting will discuss the running schedule and address any questions participants may have.

The path to vitality

I panicked...

My hair was thinning! For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource. SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

CHAMP grad in the Lions den Arnprior Lions Club president Jim Hall and first vice-president Cathy Weckworth welcome War Amps safety events co-ordinator James Jordan, a graduate of the Child Amputee Program (CHAMP). Jordan, born a left arm amputee, was at the Feb. 13 Lions meeting to speak about the history of The War Amps, its Key Tag Service and the CHAMP Program. He demonstrated his myoelectric arm, along with the recreational device he uses for various sports.

hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”

Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,

which made me realize that it was special.”

Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.

DID YOU KNOW? Grey hairs can begin to appear due to a lack of copper in your diet. Hair Volume™ tablets contain copper, which affects melanin production to help avoid grey hairs.

YOUR HAIR TABLET Hair Volume™ nourishes the hair roots with nutrients like biotin, zinc, b-vitamins and horsetail, all important for healthy hair. Hair Volume also contains procynidin B2 found in apples, which has shown to benefit hair follicle activity. Available at participating pharmacies and health food stores.

Connected to your community

Last call for quitters Community – The Renfrew County District Health Unit is reminding smokers that the deadline to enter the Driven to Quit Challenge is Friday, Feb. 28. Those who are planning to quit, or have recently quit smoking, have a little more than a week left to register for their chance to win a grand prize of a car and other cash prizes, in addition to winning many health benefits. In 2012, about 450 people in Renfrew County pledged to be a part of The Challenge and be smoke-free during March. “Many smokers make five to seven attempts before they quit successfully,” advised public health nurse Diana Brooks.

“Programs like The Driven to Quit Challenge, together with other smoking cessation initiatives, help to motivate people to make that quit attempt and provide access to professional support that can help increase a smoker’s chance of becoming tobaccofree.” New this year, Ontario Driven to Quit Challenge participants will be eligible to receive discount coupons towards the purchase of Nicoderm or Nicorette, whose makers, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, is co-sponsoring the challenge along with the Canadian Cancer Society. Coupons are available while quantities last. If participants stay smoke-

Challenge engages friends, family in efforts

free for March, they will be eligible to win a choice of a Dodge Avenger or a Dodge Journey, or one of seven prizes of $1,000. Support buddies of winners each receive a $100 cash prize, making it enticing to encourage a friend to enter. For more information on local quit-smoking support services, contact the Renfrew County and District Health Unit at 1-800-2671097, ext. 666 or www.rcdhu.com. Information regarding the Driven to Quit Challenge can be accessed online at www. DrivenToQuit.ca or by calling Canadian Cancer Society’s Smokers’ Helpline at 1-877513-5333.

THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS

Lifestyle - In a recent survey commissioned by the Canadian Cancer Society and conducted by Environics, 73 per cent of ex-smokers in Ontario say that support from family and friends was key to their success at quitting. As well, 60 per cent of current smokers indicate that support from various sources would motivate them to quit. The survey also revealed that 31 per cent of current smokers have tried to quit more than five times, as compared to 18 per cent of exsmokers, which suggests that over the years, smokers are finding it increasingly difficult to quit and, therefore, need support now more than ever to help them break their addiction. Recognizing the importance of support, the Canadian Cancer Society encourages Ontario tobacco users to join the Driven to Quit Challenge, presented by McNeil Consumer Healthcare. The challenge is a campaign that is intended to motivate adult Ontario tobacco users to quit smoking or other forms of tobacco for the month of March with the help of a support ‘buddy’ for their chance to win a grand prize of

TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE FRENCH LINE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT The Township of Lanark Highlands is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for the replacement of the French Line Bridge located on French Line Road, approximately 2.5km northwest of Highway 511. The project is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for Road Projects, which is an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act.

The Public Consultation Centre will consist of a drop-in type format with displays showing the proposed rehabilitation. Staff from the Township and the project lead consultant will be on hand to answer any questions.

a car and other cash prizes. Registered support buddies are also eligible to win a prize. Since 2006, the challenge has inspired more than 202,500 quit attempts, with over 37,000 during the 2012 Challenge alone. “We are thrilled to launch Driven to Quit this year with a focus on engaging not only the smoker, but family and friends as well,” says John Atkinson of the Canadian Cancer Society. “Firstly, 64 per cent of current smokers say that they are more likely to quit if family or friends who smoke also quit, it’s time for everyone to take the leap and quit together. “Second, family and friends who are nonsmokers can also be part of the challenge by encouraging smokers to register and by signing up to be their support buddy. They can also pledge their support with a financial donation to the Canadian Cancer Society,” says Atkinson. “With support resources such as the Canadian Cancer Society’s Smokers’ Helpline and our new approach to engage family and friends, Driven to Quit aims to motivate and inspire smokers in Ontario to quit for good.”

Obese cat euthanized, owner charged Ian Stupp Pet Talk

Showing heart for animals

PET OBESITY

Just as with humans, obesity in pets can lead to heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, reduced life span (3-5 years) and other health complications. Obesity is defined as 30 per cent above normal weight. Carrying even an extra five per cent of body weight will cause increased strain on muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Arthritis forms in the joints causing pain, which decreases mobility, which decreases calories burned, which leads to more weight gain. Blood sugar is harder to regulate with increased weight and many pets become diabetic due to obesity, just like people. Most pets require insulin injections once or twice daily once they become diabetic. No one wants to

have to deal with that. For example, a study by the International Journal of Applied Veterinary Medicine shows that if you feed a small dog one ounce of cheese, it’s the same as you eating one and a half hamburgers or one and a half chocolate bars. For a cat, that same ounce of cheese equals three and a half hamburgers for you. The problem is simple, excessive caloric intake, too many treats and an inactive lifestyle all contribute to pet obesity. Besides reducing food intake, the APOP (Association for Pet Obesity Prevention) recommends 30 to 60 minutes of active play, or two to three miles of walking for larger breeds of dogs such as Labradors or German Shepherds. Smaller breeds should have 15 to 30 minutes of play. Cats can benefit from short fiveto 15-minutes bursts of activity like chasing toys.

It was a chance to shop for Valentine’s Day gifts and show a little love to our furry friends. The Valentine’s Shopping Extravaganza Feb. 1 at the RCAF Wing in Renfrew featured more than 70 vendors and supported three different animal charities: PEER (Partners for Essential Equine Rescue), VAR (Valley Animal Rescue) and LAWS (Lanark Animal Welfare Society). PEER helps pull horses from auction and other abusive or neglectful situations and help find adoptive homes for the animals. Volunteers helping out at the booth are, from left, Katie Mark, Shauna Golds, Kissandra Sastre and Julie Lowrey.

Lifestyle - Guylene Roy was charged last Wednesday under the province’s animal cruelty law with permitting distress to an animal and failure to maintain standards of care, and faces a maximum fine of $1,000 and/or 30 days in jail. She faces neglect charges after it’s alleged that she let her cat fill out to more than 24 pounds and left the feline in such poor shape he had to be put down. According to the Ottawa Humane Society, the 12-year-old Napoleon was so heavy he could no longer stand or clean himself, while his fur became matted with fecal matter. Apparently Napoleon’s owner had brought the cat to a veterinarian several times but failed to take the advice of the veterinarian resulting in the health of the pet to deteriorate. He was in severe pain when brought to the humane society, so that the odds of recovery were so poor the cat had to be euthanized. According to OHS inspector Miriam Smith, pet owners cannot ignore the instructions of their veterinarian. In such a case, failure to follow a

veterinarian’s advice is against the law. It is important to understand that neglect is not just about starving or abusing a pet. Simply put, if you fail to provide basic care you can face criminal charges.

Ancient story to celebrate donors to Arnprior’s public library to James Joyce to William Morris. It has a timeless and universal appeal and in modern times has even been made into a Bollywood movie. Tristan and Iseult offers plenty of drama and intrigue. Friendship, erotic passion and murderous rage bind King Marc of Cornwall, Iseult the Fair of Ireland and Marc’s nephew Tristan together in the most tragic of love triangles. In company with dragons, maidens, dwarfs, knights, kings and an array of other fantastical characters, listeners will experience passion, laughter, fear, heroism and betrayal. Together teller and listener will voyage to the ancient sea girt land of Cornwall where the wind blows wild and the lovers teeter on the edge of a sharp and ever more dangerous sword. UNIQUE STYLE

There is probably no one in Canada better suited to the telling of this grand tale than Stephanie Beneteau, one of 2 women productions’ finest tellers. Her unique style is delicate and compelling, with a sensuality just right for an epic love story. The creating of this performance was in fact something of a love story itself.

Alberto García Sánchez who directed the original production and was a partner in its creation says: “The relationship between storyteller and story is similar to that of people who fall in love … One day, the story seems to be pig-headed and angry with the storyteller, while another day it is the storyteller’s turn to get mad at the story … “But with the passage of time, the storyteller comes to know and love every moment of the story. Working with Stéphanie on Tristan and Iseult, I witnessed just such a love story.” Beneteau’s remarkable performance of Tristan and Iseult is part of 2 women productions’ commitment to bringing the finest of adult storytelling to the Ottawa Valley, a commitment that encompasses contemporary work but also honours the foundational nature of the old stories in Canada’s literary culture. Chances to really experience these stories are, alas, few and far between these days. Tickets cost $18 in advance, $20 at the door, or $10 for those under 25 or underemployed. Tickets in advance are available online at www.ticketsplease.ca or in person at the Arnprior Public Library. For more on 2 women productions, visit www.2wp.ca.

Arts – The well-known 2 women productions will present its next show, Tristan and Iseult, in Arnprior on Friday, Feb. 28 The performance of the medieval romance is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the Arnprior Public Library. The library wanted to show its gratitude to the generous donors who supported the library’s moveable shelving initiative. The story-tellers of Lanark-based 2 women productions needed to move from the Neat Coffee Shop where it had been holding its productions when it came to this area. The solution: library donors have their generosity recognized by free tickets to a great show. The library is also providing space for the performance and tickets are for sale to the general public so the whole community can celebrate the new book shelves while they enjoy a fine story-telling performance of a timeless literary classic. Tristan and Iseult is certainly one of the western world’s most cherished love stories The tale is best known as a medieval romance, but like all the world’s greatest stories, it’s true beginnings are hidden far back in ancient times. Over hundreds of years, all kinds of people have told this story and written it down. It has inspired artists from Wagner
