Ten tops John XXIII best in province in Fraser Institute elementary school rankings Sherry Haaima

Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The Arnprior and McNabBraeside Archives and local Women’s Institutes were in the spotlight Saturday at a special meeting.

EMC news - Arnprior’s John XXIII school is the toast of the province with its number one spot in the latest Fraser Institute’s annual school rankings.

In the rankings released on the weekend, John XXIII earned a perfect score of 10, the third time the school has done this in the past four years. The school has earned a report rating of 9.7 over the past five years. The top ranking is a coveted position, with 2,714 elementary schools across the province in the running.

John XXIII’s highest marks in provincial testing came in Grade 3 math, Grade 6 reading and Grade 6 math to score 10 out of 10, the same score as in 2009 and 2011.

“We’re certainly very proud of our accomplishments, as we always are,” said principal Heidi Fraser. “Over the last few years we’ve had much success and it’s certainly nice to be keeping those levels up.”

Everyone was certainly excited about the announcement of John XXIII’s perfect score but remain realistic, said Fraser.

Quarry questions bedevil council John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – The thorny issue of the Braeside quarry operation expansion is threatening to become expensive for McNab-Braeside taxpayers.

McNab-Braeside council and staff already knew dealing with the Miller application to increase the scope of operations at the quarry, including locating a permanent asphalt plant there, would be controversial.

The question facing them now is how far they should go in making certain all public submissions are considered and questions answered before a decision is made by council.

The township has received a blizzard of often complicated questions that could, if not consolidated, cost it upwards of $100,000 to get answered by highly-paid experts.

In an effort to ensure that all interested parties have a say on the proposal, council had agreed that a more thorough process than usual

Health care focus changing, ARH CEO tells chamber

was warranted, particularly as some of council needed to be brought up to speed on the issue that was first broached seven years ago.

Early on in the process, council had mandated that independent peer reviews be done on seven Miller Group studies on the effects of the quarry expansion on the neighbourhood. When all the studies and peer reviews were completed late last year, council started the planning process leading to a decision on the application.

As well as setting up three (now four) information sessions for councillors to go through the studies with county planner Bruce Howarth, council said it would entertain all public comments and questions.

The volume of public interest has created a dilemma for council: how do they get all the public’s questions answered and how do they hold a public meeting or meetings long enough to ensure all input is properly heard.

EMC news - Arnprior Regional Health is changing its service model in order to focus on a small percentage of High Use Group (HUG) patients.

The HUG patients consume a disproportionally high amount of health care resources and make up only five per cent of total patients, said Eric Hanna, president and CEO of Arnprior Regional Health, told a meeting of the Greater Chamber of Commerce Tuesday.

These patients are usually chronically or severely ill, he added.

The ARH identified 166 people out of the about 3,000 who receive hospital care as HUG patients. These patients consumed an estimated $12 million out of the $16-million yearly budget.

“The historical approach to planning health services just doesn’t work anymore,” said Hanna

Answering all quarry questions to be expensive for township Continued from front

At council’s Feb. 12 planning advisory committee meeting, Miller consultant, Gary Bell of Skelton, Brumwell and Associates, informed council that the company would pay for its experts and the peer reviewers to answer any technical questions councillors had. However, it has no obligations to pay for peer reviewers to answer questions from the public, he said.

When council asked Howarth and Bell how much it would likely cost to have the peer reviewers answer all the public questions and at-

tend the public meeting(s), they were shy about specifics but indicated it could be costly.

Taking normal consultants’ fees into consideration, the cost could be in the neighbourhood of $100,000, township staff warned.

The issue arose when Howarth asked council for direction on how to handle public questions that he needed to refer to experts to answer.

He wondered if he should be sorting and consolidating questions to avoid duplication and cut down on time and cost to deal with them.

He also asked how to deal with non-technical

Streamlined health care eyed Continued from front

THREE MEETINGS NIXED

At the regular meeting of council, Feb. 19, Mayor Mary Campbell was the lone vote in support of a motion setting aside three dates for public meetings that peer reviewers must attend.

Coun. Aldene Styles was the first to express her concerns. Though the issue has “high interest in parts of the community,” council must be careful, she said.

“It still is a zoning and official plan amendment. I think we need to treat it the same way we treat all zoning and official plan amendments before us,” said Styles.

“We’re making things a lot more complicated than they are. It would set a precedent and would undermine our whole process.”

Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie agreed.

“Bringing in the peer reviewers is premature.

We should start off with a public meeting and go from there. To put out funding when we don’t know what we don’t know is irresponsible,” said Blimkie.

R0011909259

Styles, Blimkie, Coun. Brad McIlquham and Coun. Bob Campbell voted against the motion in a recorded vote. The mayor expressed concern that the decision will mean more delays.

“This is the first zoning application I’ve been through that has required all these studies,” she said. “If we wait, the end of the process will be heavily weighted.”

She said council has to show due diligence before making a decision. “We can’t ignore any information,” she said.

She also said it would be a good idea for council to sit down with representative from the ministries of natural resources and environment some time in the process and to get their input on what their roles should be in process and in protecting the neighbours from any potential affects from the expansion at the quarry.

Council will resume review the Miller studies and the peer reviews at another special preplanning advisory meeting from 3 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 12. That session will focus on hydrology issues.

A fourth meeting in April is likely to finish the review process. Council will then set the date of a mandated public meeting on the application. Council may set the meeting on the same day of an open house to be held by the Miller Group explaining its plans to the public.

One session could run into another, but no final decisions have been made.

Meanwhile, Bell said Miller’s experts welcome all questions and will respond to all of them.

Eric Hanna, CEO of Arnprior Regional Health, presented a new health initiative during the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce breakfast on Feb. 19. ernment policy,” said Hanna.

“It’s changing quite a bit and quite rapidly as the government comes to grip with a $12-billion deficit and an aging population.”

Some health care providers are feeling concerned over the upcoming changes, admitted Hanna.

“Everybody is a little bit apprehensive because this is another initiative on top of already a significant amount of change,” he said.

However, he firmly believes it will prove successful in treating HUG patients correctly.

The ARH is also working with the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) in the

hopes of becoming a lead organizer. As such, it would co-ordinate patients with the specialized health care provider they need for their particular health situation, streamlining the process.

This will help make sure that all patients, HUG or not, will see their health improves as they will receive the right amount of care at the right time and at the right place, said Hanna.

R0011294477

“This new way of focusing on a very small population will have more successful outcomes for the patients and more importantly the community,” said Hanna Guidelines for patient care will be clearer and the chance of superfluous treatment will decrease, he said.

One of the aspects of the new service model involves reducing unnecessary medication given to patients.

“The reason why this is important is that the greater the number of medications that we have, the greater the opportunity or the risk of error or overmedication,” said Hanna.

This initiative has already been put in motion at the Grove Nursing Home where extraneous medication has been cut out. The average resident used to consume 12 pills a day and now takes 10.5.

“We are working with the physicians, with the nursing staff and working with the families and going through all the medication,” said Hanna.

Patients will be given greater details on any upcoming procedure in order to relieve some of the apprehension that he or she may be feeling.

“By having that face-toface, you give them the confidence that you will be there to give them that care,” said Hanna. This behavior consistently correlates to higher satisfaction levels of overall quality of care.

A high level of overall quality care is very important for patients of all type, said Hanna.

“Our biggest challenge is trying to make sure we are consistent with emerging gov-

judgmental and ethical questions not likely to elicit a response from the peer review experts.

Council sympathized with him, but expressed concern about have him or anyone else interpret the intent of those asking the questions and edit them for brevity.

However, a suggestion that three public meetings be held instead of the normal one to give the public more time to provide input on specific aspects of the application was eventually turned down.

Staff, students, resources cited in school’s top ranking Continued from front

“There’s a pressure to remain at the top, but we take it in stride,” Fraser said.

“We don’t dwell on it. Each year brings new challenges and twists.”

The success is a collaborative effort, said Fraser, who praised all staff and students, not just those in grades 3 and 6.

There are 263 students enrolled at John XXIII from grades junior kindergarten to 6.

The testing has helped identify areas in which improvement was needed so staff can address issues.

“We can really focus in on specific areas of need,” said Fraser.

Great staff and students are among the reasons for the ongoing success, said Fraser.

“Also, I certainly think the resources we have at our disposal play a role.”

John XXIII is always abuzz with activity and this week’s no different.

Lent started last week and the school is once again fundraising for a school in Dominican Republic.

Funds this year will go towards purchasing storage shelves for the school.

Winter fun days for junior and primary students are coming up with students eager to try out the new

OTHER RANKINGS

Cobden Public tied for second most improved with St. Joseph’s Catholic School of Arnprior.

St. Joseph’s, which has also done very well in the past five years in the rankings, was 67 of 2,714 with a 9.1

out of 10. Other rankings of local schools are: McNab 1,107th and a 6.5, A.J. Charbonneau 1,239the and a 6.3 and Walter Zadow 1,405th and a 6.0.

In the Renfrew County District School Board, Cobden Public School was tops at 9.1, followed by Keys Public School of Deep River at 8.7 and Rockwood Public School of Pembroke at 8.1.

A total of 167 Ontario elementary schools improved on last year’s rankings, including 23 in eastern Ontario.

Improvements also occurred for 64 schools in the Greater Toronto Area, 44 in southwestern Ontario and 36 in north-central Ontario.

“This is why the Fraser Institute school report card is the go-to source for measuring academic improvement: it highlights school success stories from Murillo in the west to Cornwall in the east and from Timmins in the north to Windsor in the south,” said Peter Cowley, Fraser Institute director of school performance studies, in a news release.

“Our report shows that all schools are capable of improvement, regardless of the personal or family challenges their students might face. If educators want to help students learn and improve, they should be talking to these schools.”

The Report Card on Ontario’s Elementary Schools 2013 rates 2,714 public, Catholic or francophone elementary schools based on nine academic indicators using data from the annual province-wide tests of reading, writing, and math administered by the Ontario government’s Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO).

While educators pay attention to the results, many caution they should be viewed in context with many other factors indicating how well students are learning at each school.

The complete results for all 2,714 Ontario schools are available at www. compareschoolrankings.org where visitors can compare schools on their results over the last five years.

“By pinpointing the subject areas in which individual schools are improving or declining and how their academic performance compares to that of other Ontario schools over the past five years, our report helps parents and educators prioritize learning challenges in their schools,” said Cowley The report card also includes important information about each school’s make-up, including parents’ average income, the percentage of ESL students, and the percentage of special needs students.

Of the 20 Ontario elementary schools showing the fastest academic improvement over the past five years, 10 are public schools where the parental income is below the provincial average average.

At eight of those schools, special needs students account for more than 30 per cent of school enrolment.

EMC news – Some mayors are giving back the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal.

However, Arnprior Mayor David Read is not one of them.

And McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell hasn’t decided what she is going to do with hers.

The issue of mayors receiving the medal arose when Renfrew County Warden and Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon sent his back.

He did so without fanfare, but when it leaked out, he explained that he felt he wasn’t deserving of receiving a medal just for being a head of council.

thy recipients in the township and the county, he said.

Emon stressed that he didn’t begrudge any mayors who kept the medals, saying it is an individual decision.

Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe wasn’t so easy-going on the issue, saying the sending of medals to mayors devalued their worth to those who received them for good reason.

Arnprior Mayor David Reid said he agrees that there are many worthy recipients in the community, but he is still proud to have received it.

Besides, his son who lives in London would “kill me if I sent it back,� quipped the mayor.

He said he has been told that not all mayors received one as indicated in some media reports.

So it doesn’t appear to be automatic that mayors receive them, he said.

Meanwhile, Campbell said last week that she “hasn’t decided yet� what she’ll do with hers.

In Mississippi Mills, Mayor John Levi received two medals, one he was nominated for and one for being mayor.

So he’s sent the ‘mayor’ one back and kept the ‘nominee’ medal, saying it is much more meaningful.

The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal was created by the Government of Canada to mark Queen Eliza-

beth II’s 60 years of service to Canada. It is designed to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians.

During the year of jubilee celebrations, 60,000 Canadians are recognized, most nominated by their peers.

The medals also went to each head of council of Federation of Canadian Municipalities member municipalities, or to about 2,000 mayors or reeves, said a spokesman at the FCM office in Ottawa.

In the letter Briscoe received, it was noted that “your peers in local government across the county admire your accomplishments as a community leader.� “Obviously, from coast-tocoast to coast, every mayor received this medal, regardless of whether they were on leave due to commission investigations, currently under criminal charges, in court defending charges laid, and in all likelihood, facing other nefarious claims attached to their activities,� Briscoe said in her reply to the FCM. “When receiving the medal, because of what was said in the letter, and the fact I was not chosen by my peers, it just makes me feel so sad and regrettable that an organization would decide to do this to what was intended to be an earned and honest award to a community individual, and then, at the end of the day, ob-

viously there were medals left over, just blanket them out, send them out without really getting the process in place for nominations and so on,�

Briscoe said. “It was just a debacle. I just feel so terrible about the whole thing. Sending it back was the only thing I could do.�

Mayor Briscoe said that an apology by FCM to Canadian mayors who actually believe they have been singled out is very much in order. “This is such a sad and disappointing classic example of an action that devalued the coinage of the realm. Shame on our organization,� Mayor Briscoe concluded in her response.

The two mayors in Renfrew County who truly deserve a Queen’s Jubilee Medal are Petawawa and former Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet for his work with Expo 150, and Laurentian Valley Mayor Jack Wilson, who will have put in 50 years of service to the township upon completion of his current term in 2014, Mayor Briscoe added.

Meanwhile, despite the controversy, Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose says he’s proud to accept his.

Not only did he say he is accepting the medal, but he said he wished he had seven of them - one for each member of his town council.

EMC news - Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack has filed a notice of motion asking council to authorize a review of how bar and food services are handled at the Nick Smith Centre.

The motion will be discussed at council’s Feb. 25 council meeting.

Stack said council needs advice on the matter because of potential liability and risk to the town.

“It’s a different world today (when it comes to legal and police matters),” he said, noting, “we haven’t looked at it in years.”

Women’s Institutes truly worthy of note

A good old-fashioned tip of the hat goes out this week to the members of the Women’s Institutes in our area.

The organization has been keeping our history alive for years and contributing to improving our lifestyle for a long time.

Rural life has been enriched in many ways by the various initiatives of the Women’s Institutes.

This is Women’s Institute Week, a time to celebrate how women’s institutes have preserved and promoted strong communities through such important projects as the Tweedsmuir Community History collections, named in honour of Lady Tweedsmuir, wife of the 15th Governor-General of Canada, who visited the Upper Ottawa Valley back in 1938.

The Renfrew South District Women’s Institute is celebrating its 100th anniversary of service to country and community this year.

At the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives annual meeting Saturday, it put the spotlight on the impressive Tweedsmuir collection.

It also unveiled details of an oral history project that will help tell the fascinating stories of rural Canada for Canada’s 150th anniversary four years from now.

While the women’s institutes remain grounded to their communities and linked to the past, their members are not afraid to embrace new technologies (Facebook) to spread their messages and further their goals.

That should come as no surprise.

While standing for the traditional rural val-

ues of hard work, respect and support for God and country, WI members have a time-honoured history of tolerance.

Typically Canadian, they are, putting the progressive in conservative in a real senses.

The vulnerable have always had a friend in the Women’s Institutes. Bringing school nurse visits and immunization to rural schools. Funding hospital equipment. Refugee work. Visiting elderly and shut-ins at Christmas. Promoting skills like sewing, knitting and cooking. Catering community dinners. Supporting Canadian troops.

The list goes on and on.

The 1986 book, Horton – The Story of a Township, by Doris and Campbell Humphries gives a wonderful snapshot of the important

role W.I. branches have played over the past century in this area.

All of the Renfrew South District WI branches – Burnstown, Balsam Hill-Horton, Castleford, Calabogie, Glasgow, Lochwinnoch and White Lake – have played major roles in their communities, and continue to do so despite dwindling membership.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant stood recently to note the accomplishments and 100th anniversary of a group that has withstood the test of time.

It recognition is well deserved.

WIs have always epitomized what caring about oneself and others is truly about.

The group’s motto is For Home and Country. This tip of the hat is for them.

There are no benefits to a permanent asphalt plant To the Editor: This discussion has been going on for years now, hasn’t it? Do we need a permanent asphalt plant in a residential neighbourhood?

It’s pretty easy to understand why it’s a bad idea, yet there are some people out there who actually think it should happen. Let’s see if we can figure out why.

When you hear the word ‘plant’ you might visualize a large building where workers are employed year-round, have good pay with benefits, have the possibility of advancement - good for the community, add to our tax base, employ the local residents, right?

Wrong!

An asphalt plant is just a large piece of machinery; you certainly can’t walk into it. Jobs are seasonal; you can’t make asphalt in the winter, it’s too cold.

This is a piece of equipment, not a building, so no tax benefit to the township. Employ local residents? Maybe.

If Miller puts their temporary asphalt plant on a cement pad in the Braeside quarry and calls it permanent, which is a strong possibility, then the team of three or four workers will travel with it. They are from out of town. No new jobs.

What about working conditions? Do you want your husband or son working here? You know what asphalt smells like. If you smell a nasty smell you are breathing noxious chemicals.

Hydrogen sulphide is a poisonous gas having a strong, offensive odour. It stays in the air about 18 hours after it is emitted. There are other chemicals in this mix: benzene, chromium, formaldehyde, PAHS, (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, known carcinogens), cadmium and arsenic. All pretty not-nice poisons.

“Exposure to hydrogen sulphide, can result in severe neurological and respiratory effects such as lack of co-ordination, loss of smell, na-

sal symptoms, sore throat, cough, dyspnea and eye irritations,” according to www.BREDL. org. These are the effects of only one chemical; the whole mixing pot is just too scary.

When you are making asphalt, a lot of heat is required to warm up the aggregate, (crushed rock) and to have the bitumen (a tarry substance) liquid enough to bind with the rock.

So where there is heat there will be plenty of stored fuel.

With asphalt, one usually thinks about toxic emissions released into the air and the possibilities of spills of hazardous chemicals into the ground water. But what about fire?

Remember the Oshawa asphalt plant fire last month? People were evacuated, a huge pall of thick black smoke hung over the whole area; there was major concern that the harbour would be polluted. Now that is scary!

But if that happened in Braeside, all the area homes and people, the Ottawa River, the alvar, the farmers’ crops, the groundwater - all affected. And do we have the capacity to fight a major chemical fire as a big city would? No. So what have we got here? Full time employment? No! Lots of jobs? No! Good working conditions? No! Increase in the tax base?

No! An industry that is safe for the community? Once again, No! So when you hear someone saying a permanent asphalt plant in this Braeside community is a good thing, then you have to look at them and wonder. So why would anyone speak in favour of a permanent asphalt plant in Braeside?

Why, when the most vulnerable, our children, the sick or the elderly would be exposed to cancer-causing chemicals, permanently?

Think about it. Check out this web site www. fact-mb.org N.I. Callen Braeside

Patricia Leboeuf is the most recent addition to the Metroland team of reporters.

Quarry expansion not safe this is one of the most poorly documented.”

And it goes downhill from there.

The answer to Miller’s application for the rezoning is a no-brainer. The answer is a resounding no. Our governing agencies are allowing Miller to bully and tramp over us to get what they want. Their proposal is not safe for our community. So, is it “he who has the most money wins?”

I think that we should look at bringing in an Ontario Ombudsman for help.

It did make a good story and the pictures were not that embarrassing.

To the Editor: Most of us living in McNab-Braeside have been following what is happening with the problem of the Miller Pit expansion in Braeside.

On Feb. 12, there was a meeting with the Miller Group, Renfrew County’s senior planner Bruce Howarth and people from MNR and the McNabBraeside council.

There is a lot of information out there that council needs to review before a decision to rezone can be made. These meetings have an agenda so that questions can be specific to the subject. Immediately the meeting was hijacked by our own planner Bruce Howarth.

The meeting was supposed to be on the “blasting” that occurs at the pit.

Mr. Howarth said he wasn’t prepared and they would review the water situation. Why wasn’t he prepared? It isn’t as if he doesn’t have the information. I have to ask, who does he work for? The peer reviews on the expansion, asphalt plant and the relocation of the garage, etc. to the pit are a joke.

The tests that Miller had preformed have so many glaring errors it isn’t funny. Following is an excerpt from a company Henry S. Cole, Ph.D. & Associates hired and paid for by FACT to look over the tests Miller company preformed showing that the air was safe with the asphalt plant and the blasting: “The applicant’s air modeling assessment (Church and Trought, March 2010) is deficient in its documentation to the point that critical details needed to evaluate the validity of the modeling are absent. I have reviewed numerous modeling reports; in my judgment

EMC lifestyle - For the next seven months or so, I, Patricia Leboeuf, plan to amuse, delight and inform you while working for the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC and the West Carleton Review EMC. Making the decision to move to this area from Gatineau wasn’t difficult since it is a fascinating mixture of rural traditions and urbanization.

Though sitting at a desk for eight hours a day may appeal to my lazy side, I’m the type of person who likes to touch, feel, and taste everything I can get my hands on.

I like uncovering stories, talking to people to figure out what makes them tick and showcase their joys and accomplishments.

It’s why I became a reporter.

The coffee found at the back of the office is just a bonus.

As a 2012 journalism grad, I am still relatively new to the business, but I’ve been writing since I figured out the alphabet.

My childhood scribbles didn’t win me a Pulitzer Prize, but I stay positive for the future.

My penmanship hasn’t really improved.

It took a while before I realized that writing could be a valid career path, so coming out of high school I first turned to my other love: the Internet.

Before getting the journalism degree, I received one in multimedia.

I thought it would be a clever way of spending most working hours surfing the Internet. Unfortunately, it turns out that it involved a lot of

more work than merely finding pictures of kittens and putting them online.

I can still code an entire website with my eyes shut (quality not assured), but I prefer not to be glued to a screen for half the day.

That is unless there are videos of frolicking kittens to watch.

I can be a little silly and I will definitely go to far lengths to get that story.

I once plunged in frigid late October waters in a futile bid to be the winner of a giant pumpkin boat race.

As you can imagine with a quick glance at my puny arms,

Hairy Woodpeckers are the most likely suspects in the elm mystery.

female beetles then lay eggs in their galleries.

After hatching, a grub chews a tunnel perpendicular to the mother’s gallery and parallel to those of its siblings. The grubs’ galleries widen as they move away from the egg gallery because the young grow larger through time.

The end result is a striking pattern that allows us to identify the species involved; it is also nothing less than a work of art. Unlike the native Elm Bark Beetles that overwinter in both life stages, the European species does so only as grubs.

Both species can occur in very large numbers, so with all the woodpecker activity, it must have been a good couple of years for the beetles.

Incidentally, both species transport the fungal spores that cause Dutch Elm Disease, the malady that devastated most large elms in the 1970s.

But why are there so many beetles this winter? Did last summer’s drought weaken the elms, making more of them particularly attractive to the beetles?

Nature is full of mysterious phenomena and right now a major one is occurring in our area.

With many questions remaining to be answered, perhaps you should put on your detective hat and get out there looking for clues!

EMC lifestyle – It is odd how an obvious phenomenon can be overlooked, even when it is widespread.

Recently I was driving along a country road and noticed that several young American Elms looked orange in colour, not their typical gray.

They were this colour because much of their bark was removed.

I began to look for more elms in that condition, and now I have seen hundreds of them between Arnprior and Kingston.

So what is happening to the elms?

Well, a couple of things can be deduced. In many cases bark resided on top of the snow, revealing woodpeckers had removed it recently. But not many woodpeckers strip bark from trees.

Pileated and Downy Woodpeckers do not, and neither do Northern Flickers and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, which migrate. Northern woodpeckers – Black-backed and American Three-toed – do, but they prefer conifers and are rare winter visitors to our region.

Thus, by elimination, there is but one suspect: Hairy Woodpeckers.

And quite possibly they are females, for that sex tends to frequent elms more often than do the males.

But why are woodpeckers chipping off so much bark? Our second deduction is that food must be present Based on the scale of the activity, elms must currently be harbouring lots of insects.

And these are wood-boring beetles, the main food of woodpeckers in winter.

Elms commonly harbour two species of Bark Beetles (Scolytids), which are only three millimetres long. The adult beetles lay eggs under the bark and the ensuing grubs chew their way through the tree’s cambium layer.

First, the females create short (about 6-cm long) egg galleries.

Those of native Elm Bark Beetles are perpendicular to the grain of the wood; the galleries of European Elm Bark Beetles (first recorded in Ontario in 1948) are parallel to it. The TM

Dos and don’ts of driving in snowy, blowy conditions EMC news – Anyone who has driven in Renfrew County in the winter will realize that weather and road conditions can change rapidly.

Plan ahead before your travel and consider

When visibility turns bad and you’re driving in blowing snow and whiteouts, always:

calling 511 for the Traveler’s Road Information Portal (TRIP). The service provides information on closures, road conditions, and construction on the provincial highways in Renfrew County.

• slow down gradually and drive according to weather and road conditions; • make sure the full lighting system of your vehicle is turned on; • increase your following distance. You will need extra distance to brake safely; • keep looking as far ahead as possible to see any hazards that may be on the road; • reduce the distractions in your vehicle.

• if visibility is decreasing rapidly, do not stop on the road. Look for an opportunity to pull into a safe parking area and wait for conditions to improve; • attempt to pass a vehicle moving slowly or speed up to get away from a vehicle that is

following too closely.

Remember: • watch your speed. You may be going faster than you think. If you are, reduce your speed gradually; • leave a safe braking distance between you and the vehicle in front of you; • remain calm and patient; • if you become stuck or stranded in severe weather, stay with your vehicle for warmth and safety until help arrives; • slightly open a window for ventilation; • run your engine sparingly; • use your emergency flashers; • be prepared and carry a winter survival kit in your vehicle that includes items such as a flashlight, warm blankets, extra clothing, winter boots, and non-perishable energy foods. A candle and matches can generate heat and keep you warm while waiting for help if you do become stranded.

Before you drive and during your trip, check weather forecasts and road reports regularly. If there is a weather warning or reports of poor visibility and driving conditions, delay your trip until conditions improve or postpone it if you need to.

‘Scareware’ scam warning

EMC news – Police departments are warning the public of a computer scam after receiving reports from complaints who report receiving pop- up messages warning them their computer has been associated with pornography.

Their computers are being frozen and they are receiving warning messages, which claim to be from the RCMP, telling the recipients to pay $100 via Ukash so their computer can be unlocked.Recipients of this pop- up messages are further warned that if they do not pay the $100 fine within 72 hours criminal proceedings will commence against them. These types of messages, commonly known as scareware, are designed to create such shock and anxiety

that victims, especially teenagers, respond by sending money quickly.

“If you receive one of these messages, please be aware that it is a scam - these messages are not being issued by the RCMP,” say the RCMP in a release.

“Do not pay the $100. If you have been locked out of your computer, it’s an indicator that your system may have been infected with malware and you will need to take steps to address the problem.”

If you’ve received a scareware message, contact your local police office and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1-888-495-8501) to report it.

HURRY IN FOR BEST SELECTION! 14 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, February 21, 2013

The organization was founded in 1995 by 12-yearold Craig Kielburger of Thornhill.

Today more than 1.7 million young people from 45 countries around the world are involved in education and development programs ranging from clean drinking water to health care and building schools.

At Arnprior’s St. Joseph’s Catholic School, for instance, students have been raising funds for the Nationwide Penny Drop-off Week.

In just two weeks, students filled 10 bags of pennies. Each bag containing $25 in pennies can provide clean drinking water for one person for a lifetime.

Grade 5 students Owen Matthews and Noah Whyte led the school’s Penny DropOff campaign as part of the Rotary Club’s Who Is Nobody? program.

The program requires students to take action in their community by donating time or money, or by raising awareness, for a cause.

“Our students worked hard on the project and they really enjoyed it,” says St. Joseph’s principal Mary-Lise Rowat.

On Feb. 5, Grade 7 students Liam Reitz, Hayden Tripp and Adam Shean helped Rowat take the coins to the Royal Bank, a corporate sponsor of the campaign.

The school also sold ‘Love is’ buttons and cards in another Free the Children campaign for Valentine’s Day, says Rowat.

Some students from St. Joseph’s will also attend National We Day at the Robert Guertin Arena in Gatineau on April 29, a full-day educational event sponsored by Free the Children that promotes social action and community building by young people.

St. John Bosco Catholic School in Barry’s Bay is also raising pennies for Free the Children.

“We’re collecting pennies throughout Lent,” says Princi-

pal Marie Finnerty. “Our goal is $500. That would provide clean drinking water for 20 people for life.”

At a school-wide assembly, Finnerty reminded students of how much they miss having access to water when the power goes out in their rural area. “I then asked the kids what they think it would be like never to have access to clean water.”

Finnerty explains that teachers use lessons from Free the Children’s website, freethechildren.com, to create awareness of children’s needs around the world and to show students the difference they can make with mere pennies.

Another school involved in raising funds for Free the Children is St. Mary’s Catholic School in Deep River.

The school collected more than $750 in pennies at its Christmas concert by asking family and friends to pay admission with their pockets full of change.

Since then, students have continued to collect pennies.

“The student council is really running our Free the Children campaign,” says principal Cheryl St-Élier. “The hope is that ideas will flow from the students. Then we’ll help them, as facilitators.

“Since the school year began, we have focused on the actual expression of Mother Teresa’s thinking in everyday life.

Now the students are putting her thinking about the ‘small things’ they can do into practice.”

Michele Arbour, RCCDSB’s director of education, said the students’ activities reflect the Board’s mission to teach the principles of social justice and unconditional love.

“In these and many other fundraising activities,” she explains, “our students demonstrate their love for others around the world and their dedication to justice and freedom for all. We are very proud of what they are achieving.”

Home owner alerted to kitchen fire by working smoke alarm EMC news – A properly installed and working smoke alarm alerted a McNab-Braeside resident that a fire had broken in the home just before midnight Feb. 6.

The McNab-Braeside Fire Department responded to the report of a possible structure fire on Kippen Road. The fire started in the kitchen at about

11:30 p.m. while the lone occupant was in another room of the house.

Upon discovery of the fire, the resident tried to extinguish the fire, but was unsuccessful. However, he was able to safely evacuate the residence and call 911 prior to the situation becoming deadly.The fire spread quickly from the kitch-

en area and damage to the rest of the home was substantial.

More fires begin in the kitchen than any other room in the home, notes the fire department in a news release.

en fires begin with cooking equipment.

But most kitchen fires are preventable if you follow these safety tips: Watch what you heat.

• The leading cause of fires in the kitchen is unattended cooking.

• Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.

• If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you’re cooking.

• Stay alert! To prevent cooking fires, you have to be alert. You won’t be if you are sleepy, have been drinking alcohol, or have taken medicine that makes you drowsy.

Keep things that can catch fire and heat sources apart.

• Keep anything that can catch fire - potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, food packaging, towels, or curtains - away from your stovetop.

• Keep the stovetop, burners, and oven clean.

• Keep pets off cooking sur-

faces and nearby countertops to prevent them from knocking things onto the burner.

• Wear short, close-fitting or tightly rolled sleeves when cooking. Loose clothing can dangle onto stove burners and catch fire if it comes into contact with a gas flame or electric burner.

How and when to fight cooking fires.

• When in doubt, just get out. When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire. Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number after you leave.

• If you do try to fight the fire, be sure others are already getting out and you have a clear path to the nearest exit.

• Always keep an oven mitt and a lid nearby when you are cooking. If a small grease fire starts in a pan or pot, smother the flames by carefully sliding the lid over the pan (make sure you are wearing the oven mitt). Turn off the burner immediately and do not move the pan. To keep the fire from restarting, leave the lid on until the pan is completely cool.

Never use water to extinguish a grease fire.

• In case of an oven fire,

Cheryl Richardson-Burnie Broker 613-623-9222

turn off the heat and keep the door closed to prevent flames from burning you or your clothing.

• If you have a fire in your microwave oven, turn it off immediately and keep the door closed. Never open the door until the fire is completely out. Unplug the appliance if you can safely reach the outlet.

• After a fire, both ovens and microwaves should be checked and/or serviced before being used again.

Portable fire extinguishers can be effective in fighting a small fire.

• Make sure to notify emergency services by calling 911 before any attempts to extinguish a fire.

• Never put the fire between yourself and your nearest exit.

• Ensure you use the appropriate extinguisher for what you are trying to extinguish.

• Know when and how to operate your extinguisher.

Smoke alarms.

The Ontario Fire Code requires that all residential dwellings have working smoke alarms on all levels of the home and outside each sleeping area.

Co-op student strives for future journalism career

Fun fair, puppet shows March 2 Sydney Ross

EMC events - Zelda and the Zingers will be holding a fun fair and puppet performances at the Arnprior Mall Saturday, March 2. The show will be directed by Carolyn Fraser of Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church. Fraser has gathered a team of teenagers to entertain throughout the Ottawa Valley and even farther afield in a series of puppet performances. She invites the public to the Zelda and the Zingers event, which runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Puppet performances will be held at 11 a.m., noon and 1 p.m. Prior and during show time, there will be fair, bake sale, and silent auction for all to enjoy. Cost for the fun fair is seven tickets for $5. Proceeds will help the youth group attend a regional festival in Rochester, New York.

‘Writing for the ChronicleGuide has been a dream of mine for quite some time’ Sydney Ross Co-op student

EMC news - Hello Arnprior, my name is Sydney Ross.

I come from Arnprior District High School’s Co-op department and now I am going to be writing for the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC until about mid-June.

Co-op, as most of you might know, is a class program to set several students up into a workplace environment of their choice.

This program is to give students like myself a sense and atmosphere of the career we’re going into, whether the career being a mechanic, a nurse, a baker, or a journalist – the career I am striving for.

LOVE OF WRITING

been a dream of mine for quite some time.

Photography is another career option I’d love to pursue.

I’ve always liked the idea of capturing a photograph and telling the story that goes along with it.

Whether it’s journalism or photography I end up doing later on as a job, I hope I can pursue both.

Outside of school, in the far away little town of Pakenham, I’m pretty simple and straightforward.

CHAPTERS

As I go through the different phases and chapters of my life, I am discovering that I love to draw – and I love to sing even more.

Sometimes I’m out with my wonderful father hunting or fishing.

Other times I can be spending a Sunday with my Garage Band at Main Street School of Music.

Again, I’m pretty simple.

Some days I can be the biggest social butterfly; and other times I can shy away into my own little world.

This is completely normal for me, although my English teacher, Mr. McLaughlin, may

I’ve basically told you all about myself – and now it’s time for me to bring you the action of your community. I hope to learn lots and deliver you folks the news you deserve.

Placement at the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide is exactly what I’m looking for; I can’t wait to grow from this work experience!

Arnprior GE workers ratify deal Arnprior County social services offices moving next Tuesday Arnprior, Peterborough, Toronto and Burlington/Stoney Creek.

Workers approved the agreement by 97 per cent in voting Feb. 16.

“We won significant investment to turn Peterborough’s 100-year-old facilities into facilities that will now reflect the technology of 2013,” said Jerry Dias, assistant to the CAW president.

“Winning this commitment

was the most significant feature of a strong new agreement with G.E.,” Dias said.

Wage increases, including cost of living allowance, are two per cent in the first year, 2.5 per cent in the second and three per cent in the final year.

In addition, there were significant pension gains, says the union.

PENSION GAIN

A major pension gain is the extension of supplemental pension payments to ensure bridge pensions continue until retiring workers qualify for the delayed Old Age Security pension announced by the federal Conservatives.

In addition, gains were made in a new vision care plan along with improvements in dental and other programs.

The Arnprior plant, which makes zirconium tubing, is one of three G.E. Hitachi Nuclear facilities, with the other two located in Toronto and Peterborough. The Burlington and Stoney Creek plants are service depots.

EMC news- Renfrew County’s social services offices will be moving to their new location next Tuesday.

The renovations on the 5,600-sq.-ft. former Valley Catering building at 80 McGonigal St. will be completed in time for the move to be made Tuesday, Feb. 26.

The Ontario Works Division, Child Care Division and Renfrew County Housing Corporation will be fully operational in their new facilities on Wednesday, Feb. 27.

They are moving from 100 Madawaska Blvd.

County social services director David Anderson assures all current and future clients that there will be no disruption of services during this transition.

“All programs and services administered by staff of the three divisions (Ontario Works, Childcare, and the operations of Renfrew County Housing Corporation) will continue uninterrupted during this move,” he said.

“We are looking forward to servicing our clients at our new centralized location.”

The offices serve clients from Arnprior, McNab-Braeside and Greater Madawaska.

Whitewater Region Mayor Don Rathwell, Chair of the county’s social services committee, is looking forward to the opening of the new building.

“The new Social Services Building at 80 McGonigal St. will centralize all our services for Arnprior and area residents,” he said.

TOTALLY ACCESSIBLE

“The new building will also be totally accessible to all individuals who need to use the services contained within the building. County staff has gone to great lengths to ensure that the building meets all the requirements of our clients.”

The $1.2 million in refurbishing and renovations by Sullivan and Son begin last September in a building that had been vacant for more than a year.

The new state-of-the art offices are close to the county’s ambulance station and a blockand-half away from the almost completed $2.2million seniors housing project, which was built with the help of funds funneled through the county.

Escape plans also saves lives Continued from page 16

Along with working smoke alarms, it is also just as important to have an escape plan in place and to practice it often.

The McNab-Braeside Fire Department will be starting its residential smoke alarm inspection program this June.

The program, now in its seventh year, has assisted over 1,300 dwellings in the township become compliant with the Fire Code requirements for smoke alarms.

If you require a visit from the program, please contact township fire prevention officer Karen Barsoski at 613-623-5756 for an appointment.

WI explains Canada 150 involvement at Archive AGM Kate Glynn

EMC lifestyle – The Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives (AMBA) and Renfrew South District Women’s Institute organizations, both steeped in history, demonstrated how contemporary they really are last Saturday at the archives annual meeting.

The AMBA celebrated 20 years with the launch of its new Facebook page and the Renfrew South District Women’s Institute (WI) announced a digital oral history project.

WI member Sara MacKenzie offered those gathered at the Arnprior Library a sneak preview of the history project being produced in conjunction with the group’s 100th anniversary.

CANADA 150

The oral history project will also represent the WI’s contribution to Canada 150. The WI is one of the founding partners of the Canada 150 project, being launched in celebration of the nation’s 150th anniversary in 2017.

A monumental 1.5 million stories are expected to be collected from individuals, groups and organizations across the nation.

“Capturing community history is not new to WI,” said MacKenzie.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski presented certificates to both the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives celebrating 20 years and the Renfrew South DisPHOTOS BY KATE GLYNN trict W.I. celebrating its centennial this year. Representing the Archives, from left, are Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives archivist Laurie archivist Laurie Dougherty and board president John Smith and representing the WI are Dougherty joins Lanark archive representative Marilyn Sara MacKenzie and Irene Robillard (also with the Archives).

Snedden.

“Since about 1920 they have been gathering local history in book form.

“These books contain a wealth of historical information and preserve the history of local communities and are called the Tweedsmuirs.”

While the books capture the history of local branches, they don’t necessarily delve into the lives and insights of WI members, added MacKenzie.

“So often these women,

who have contributed greatly to their communities and families, are silent in the history books.”

In a short digital presentation, several of the oldest WI members recollected their personal past and that of the WI. Included was Eileen Brydges of Burnstown who offered stories of teaching in Ontario and her early experiences of the Great Depression and the Second World War.

Braeside Cup returns to the village’s RA Centre Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC sports – The Braeside Cup is back and as popular as ever.

It was the 36th year for the amateur hockey tournament, played on the outdoor rink at the village’s RA Centre. This year it is dedicated to the Betty’s Fries founder, Betty LeBlanc, who died shortly after the tournament finished.

Eight teams were vying for the two hunks of hardware. The A and B cups saw teams playing a series of games beginning Thursday night, Feb. 16 and culminating in the championship game on sunny Saturday afternoon.

Ryan Muldoon was taking in the action. He said players from the Jr. B Packers and the Kanata Stallions were participating.

“There’s some really good hockey, actually,” he said.

Betty’s son Dan LeBlanc, who takes care of the rink, wore two hats for the tournament: chief organizer and referee. He said the games were called off for the last three years because of complications with the municipality, but they are back again in 2013. It’s a tradition that won’t be denied.

“Lots of these guys have been doing it for 30 years or more. All these guys here,” he said, pointing to a row of players in a variety of sweaters, “have been doing it forever. And we’ve got the younger guys coming out too.”

Teams are comprised of local lads from the village and surrounding areas.

It is all for a good cause.

LeBlanc expected to raise about $2,000. This year’s money will go into repairing the rink boards.

Olympic decision blindsides wrestling community Steve Newman

Steve.newman@metroland.com

Last week’s announcement that wrestling not be a core sport at the 2020 Summer Olympic Games has shocked the wrestling world.

Include the upper Ottawa Valley in that category.

Not only a wrestling haven for youngsters, the area has hosted national-level events, including a national championship and the visit of such international stars as Daniel Igali, Tonya Verbeek and Martine Dugrenier.

Dugrenier, a double Olympian and two-time world champion with the Montreal Wrestling Club, has been regular visitor to Renfrew to give clinics. The 33-year-old is recovering from shoulder surgery that could steer her into retirement.

Dugrenier was stunned to hear her sport may be turfed from the Summer Olympic program by 2020. “Everyone is in shock,” she told the Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC. “No one saw it coming, including the Canadian and international federations.”

Dugrenier says the fight’s not over, but that there’s lots of work to be done to convince the IOC executive board otherwise.

Wrestling is already part of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, but that’s little conso-

The annual Renfrew Rumble wrestling tournament began with a special presentation and photo opportunity in response to the recent announcement that wrestling is in jeopardy of not being included in the 2020 Olympics. Wrestlers, coaches, draw masters, referees and other supporters gather on the mat to show the sport is alive and well in Renfrew County. Wrestlers from Arnprior and Renfrew competed at the all-day event. lation if lobbying efforts are unsuccessful.

Renfrew resident Grant Lavallee, who has a long history as a wrestling competitor or coach, says the decision appears to be more about dollars and cents, and how much some sports can financially benefit the Olympic movement.

Also, he points out that wrestling and running are two of the oldest Olympic events, from their Olympic debut in

1896, and that running isn’t making a exit any time soon.

Other local coaches feel similarly.

“We’re going to make as much noise as possible,” said Jamey McDonald, head coach of the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club’s Mat Rat team in the local elementary schools.

“Coaches, kids and parents are going to show how much interest there is for the sport,

and I’m sure we’re not the only area.”

“History does change, but it’s a shame that’s it’s going more with the spectatorleading sports instead of with the effort and energy that’s displayed in our sport,” said Lavallee.

Lavallee is convinced wrestling is one of the most tried and true Olympic sports, with the highest requirements for physical commitment and energy. He puts the sport in a category with rowing, which remains an Olympic sport.

In a statement released last week, Canadian Olympic Committee president Marcel Aubut IOC is proposing that wrestling be shortlisted as a sport left to vie for the 2020 Olympics’ one additional sport. The other sports in that position are baseball/softball, karate, roller sports, sport climbing, squash, wakeboarding and wushu. All will have the opportunity to state their case to the IOC executive board in May in St. Petersburg, Russia.

In a new release, Aubut said, “It is disappointing that wrestling may not be a member of the Olympic family in 2020 … Our country has a long tradition of excellence in this sport exemplifying a proud tradition of being best in class.”

He cited the examples of Daniel Igali, who won Canada’s first-ever Olympic wrestling gold in 2000, and the 2012 Olympic medals

by Tonya Verbeek and Carol Huynh.

The IOC stresses the executive board’s decision is a recommendation, which goes to the September 2013 IOC session in Buenos Aires.

The IOC recommends the following 25 sports be the core sports of the 2020 Olympics: archery, athletics, rowing, badminton, basketball, boxing, canoeing, cycling, equestrian, fencing, football (soccer), gymnastics, weightlifting, team handball, field hockey, judo, swimming, modern pentathlon, taekwondo, tennis, table tennis, triathlon, sailing, shooting and volleyball.

ADHS hosts EOSSA with chance to qualify for provincials Six teams vie for two spots in Ontario AA senior basketball championship John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Arnprior’s Michael Shoveller, has the ball during the Feb. 14 game versus Bishop Smith.

The Redmen scored an easy victory against the Pembroke team.

Smiths Falls edged LaSalle for the top seed because the Red Hawks are three-time defending EOSSAA champions with returning starting players. Arnprior got the number

three seed by virtue of two wins over Holy Trinity and a victory against BCI in tournament play.

ADHS was to face a stiff test today (Thursday) as they opened the tournament against top-seed Smiths Falls at 10 a.m. After LaSalle played Holy Trinity at 11:30 a.m., Arnprior was to play St. Thomas Aquinas at 1 p.m. The other three games were set for 2:30, 4 and 5:30 p.m.

The winners of each pool will cross over to play the runners-up in the other pool at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. this Friday, Feb. 22. The losers will then play in the consolation game at 1 p.m. and the championship game will go at 3 p.m.

The two teams that make the championship game will qualify for the OFFSSA tournament.

The public is welcome to come down to the ADHS large gym to take in the action and hopefully cheer on the home side.

Redmen coach Phil Moore is optimistic his team will acquit itself well on home court.

All the teams have been quite competitive in tournament play, so most games should be close and exciting, he noted.

Because many teachers are refusing to take on mandatory extra-curricular activities in protest of Bill 115, ADHS has only played two league games.

The Redmen outscored St. Joseph’s of Renfrew 66-40 Feb. 7, led by Mike Shoveller’s 16 points, and ran away from Bishop Smith Feb. 14.

The Junior Redmen defeated St. Joe’s 40-21 and edged Jeanne-Lajoie 39-27 in its two games so far. Brody Flegal led ADHS in both games with 13 and 22 points respectively.

In ADHS girls volleyball action, the Redmen have picked up two wins against Jeanne-Lajoie, but have been edged twice each by St. Joe’s and Bishop Smith.

ADHS gets a third chance when it hosts all three teams Thursday, Feb. 28.

Packers drop first game of playoff series to Renfrew John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC sports - The Arnprior Packers let a 3-1 lead slip away and lost 5-3 to arch-rival Renfrew Timberwolves Tuesday in the first game of their Eastern Hockey League Valley Division best-of-seven semi-final series.

Former Packer Casey Doner scored his third goal of the game into an empty net to sink any chances Arnprior had of tying the game and forcing overtime.

Arnprior had a golden opportunity to tie the game midway through the third period when it had more than a minute with a 5-on-3 advantage, but it couldn’t get the equalizer.

After Doner opened the scoring, Arnprior tied the game with 30 seconds left in the first period on another 5-on-3 advantage. Andrew Dekroon scored from Brian Taylor and Derrin Lehoux.

Jared Steege on the power-

play and Jamie Prebble unassisted had the Packers up 3-1 before Doner struck again with less than two minutes left in the second period.

Jesse Riopelle and Patrick McGrath put Renfrew on top 4-3 in the first half of the third stanza and Doner sealed Arnprior’s fate with his hat-trick marker.

According to the scoresheet, Renfrew outshoot Arnprior 63-23, with a very busy Kyle Lamothe in the Packer net keeping his team in the game.

The Packers were scheduled to host game two at the Nick Smith Centre Wednesday (after press deadline).

The Packers closed the regular season on an up note, winning their final two games against the division’s top teams, a welcome change after dropping five of their previous six games. Arnprior beat Perth 7-4 last Friday and Renfrew 6-3 Sunday led by Brock Burge’s four goals.

The Packers made the playoff race interesting by losing

5-3 to Stittsville Feb. 13. The Royals broke a prolonged slump by winning their last four games last week to move ahead of Arnprior into third in the division.

However, use of an ineligible player in a couple of their wins cost them points and they were busted down to fourth. That meant Arnprior, which was expecting to play the first-place Perth Blue Wings in the semi-finals, drew red-hot Renfrew instead.

It means for the fourth consecutive year, either the Timberwolves or the Packers will see their Valley Division season end at the hands of the other.

The Wolves won a semi-final series three years ago and Valley Division final in 2011.

Arnprior won their semi-final clash last season.

Game three of the semi-final series goes this Friday at 8 p.m. in Renfrew, with game four at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior Saturday at 7 p.m. Game five, if necessary, will be played in Renfrew Tuesday, Feb. 26 and game six Wednesday, Feb. 27, both at 8 p.m. If it comes down to a winner-take-all game seven, it will be held in Renfrew Friday, March 1 at 8 p.m.

On the same stoppage, Ryan Eady and Arnprior’s Alex Bourassa-Barron cast their gloves aside, and also received early exits.

The ambulance was called for Nephin and the rest of the game was observed under the watchful eye of the OPP. But a straight-time third period came and went without further incident.

Burge’s hat-trick goal had given Arnprior a 4-1 lead late in the second period and the Packers sandwiched another Minns goal in the third with tallies by Derrin Lehoux and Burge’s fourth.

The Legionnaires gathered the troops, rattled their sabers, and then ‘charged’ It wasn’t pretty! Legion now leads by 41 games.

The next challenge is at the Legion, Friday, March 1. Registration is at 6:50 p.m., with the games starting at 7.

EMC sports - The final regular season races are drawing to a close for Calabogie’s alpine athletes, leaving them well-prepared for the championship races in March.

The Under-12 and Under-14 members have completed their race schedule, while U10 and U16 have just one more race to go. Then it’s full steam ahead into the championships and U14 Provincials.

The U16 gang raced in a Slalom at Mont Cascades Feb. 9 and followed it up with a Giant Slalom at Calabogie Peaks Feb. 10. Aylen Ferguson of Carp sped to 21st in the slalom and doubled the feat in GS with another 21st. Chris Pepin of Kinburn did not finish his slalom race, but hung on in the GS to carve his way into 25th position.

The U10s travelled to Mont Cascades Feb. 16 for a Panel Slalom. This race requires the competitors to execute short radius slalom turns, while going around the bigger, panelled gates.

CSRCs newest racers continue to improve each day.

Louise Stonham of Arnprior ripped down the course and sped into 11th place, while Carly Alexander of Carp displayed her carving skills for 24th place. Nicole Duff of Pembroke was right behind in 26th.

The boys tore up the course as well. Jeremy Van Grunsven of Odessa laid down not two, but three solid runs after a timing error on his first run, and was just off the podium in sixth place.

Alex Wroe bettered his first run with a smoking second run which put him into eighth. Wyatt Campbell-Brunke rounded out the top 10 with a 10thplace finish. Evan Sharma of Kingston sped to 14th.

Carson Lefebvre of Calabogie was sitting in seventh following his first run, but disqualified in the second. Thys Blok of White Lake showed perseverance after crashing in his first run, hiking back up the hill, and completing the race, while Nicholas McDermid of Burnstown skied hard in both runs but was disqualified in his second.

Vorlage Feb. 16 and a Kombi race at Edelweiss Feb. 17. The boys skied with their usual aggressiveness and posted some nice times.

Sam Alexander of Carp raced into third place, picking up a bronze medal, while Tyler Lefebvre of Calabogie was just off the podium in sixth.

Connor Allen of Manotick laid down two good runs to land in 17th, and Owen Barr of Carp continued to improve, attaining 25th position.

Zach Wroe of Burnstown displayed determination – after missing a gate he skied back up and around it and then laid down a strong second run for 40th. Ryan Geddie of Kanata upped his game to come in 49th. Sean Swayze of Braeside and Jack Alexander of Carp had some of the faster times of the day, but only completed one run each.

The girls were solid on the hill – Alyssa Steggall of Stittsville was comfortably inside the top 10 with an eighth-place result, while Annabel Wight of Kanata and Tess Schreider of Kingston continue to improve.

The Kombi race was a fun experience for all. A Kombi is a technical race requiring racers to react quickly, as it combines slalom and GS into one run, complete with delays, flushes and hairpins.

Once again the racers gave it their all. Jack Alexander snagged a silver medal, and Tyler Lefebvre was less than a second off the podium in seventh. Connor Allen, who has been coming on strong of late, realized his goal when he landed in the top 10, in 10th, for the first time.

Zach Wroe was solid, racing to 20th. Owen Barr had to race the course three times after a starter error, but skied strongly for 27th. Ryan Geddie bettered Saturday’s results to come in 45th.

Sam Alexander and Sean Swayze were podium-bound after one run, but both blew out of the second run.

Alyssa Steggall was 25th after difficulty on her second run, while Annabel Wight skied hard for 43rd and Tess Schreider completed all her turns to land in 48th.

It was another Kombi race for the U14 group Feb. 17 at Mont Cascades. Lauren Ferguson of Carp was the top Calabogie club girl, finishing 28th overall.

Lauren Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew was set to land in the top 10 again this season, but a broken gate got in her way and she was disqualified. She rallied on her second run, picking up a sixth-place time.

Sam Duff of Pembroke was another top-10 racer, finishing 10th. Jack Hamilton of Burnstown had a strong finish to his regular season with a 30th place, while Liam Maclean of Manotick pushed hard for 49th. The crowd cheered with enthusiasm for Alex Duff of Pembroke, who, after crashing on his first run, came back with a blistering speed on his second.

Next up, U10 and U16 close off the regular season, followed by championship racing for all the athletes.

Two generations of Arnprior curlers have now played in the Quebec International Bonspiel. They got together for a photo recently. In the front from left are Dale Evenson, Doug Johnston, Dave Chesworth and Joe Ferrari; and in the back are Bob Faircloth, Ken Evenson, Don Johnston and Lorne Bretzlaff. Aabsent is Ken Munroe.

EMC sports - On Jan. 27, the Arnprior team of Doug Johnston, Dale Evenson, Joe Ferrari and Dave Chesworth captured the Grand Aggregate Trophy at the Quebec International Bonspiel.

The Quebec International Bonspiel (QIB) is one of the oldest uninterrupted amateur sporting competitions in the world, having run each year since 1913 in the city known as the cradle of curling in North America. The sport was introduced there in 1760 by the Scottish soldiers who were part of the British forces that participated in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.

This men’s tournament is known for its hospitality and camaraderie, as many social events are organized throughout the week of competition. There is a minimum of six games and a maximum of nine games per participating team.

The event champion teams win trophies, commemorative badges or pins. There were 84 teams competing in this year’s event.

This brings us to the two generations. Don Johnston first entered the tournament in 1968 along with Lorne Bretzlaff, Harold Lindsay, and Bob Faircloth. Ken Munroe has also played with the team. They have played continuously since 1968 until 2011.

This year they passed the torch, or in this case the rocks, over to the sons of Doug Johnston and Ken Evenson along with Dave Chesworth and Joe Ferrari.

What evaded the senior team was won by the skills of the younger offsprings team in their first attempt at the Bonspiel.

Congratulations to the Arnprior team.

Also this year Don Johnston was honored with his 40-year pin.

RBC makes donation to Partners in Caring in honour of staff members Sydney Ross Co-op Student

EMC lifestyle – The Arnprior RBC has recognized the community activism by two of its employees with contributions to Arnprior District Memorial Hospital’s Partners in Caring fund.

RBC employees and pensioners worldwide have given their time in countless volunteer activities and funds to not-for-profit groups from payroll deductions to special events planned.

RBC has provided 2,500 grants, each $500, totalling on average $1.3 million to organizations. The grants are given for recognition of the volunteer work of employees and pensioners across Canada.

Recently RBC Arnprior recognized two

beloved staff members in this way.

RBC branch manager Jackie Laughlin contributed time on the highly successful Digital Mammography Campaign at ADMH. Laughlin also played part on an organizing committee for Ladies Night – Mardi Gras style.

Joanne McLean, manager of market operations at RBC, was also recognized for her several years on the Partners in Caring board of directors. Similar to Laughlin, McLean has spent a number of years as the lead on Ladies Night – Mardi Bras.

Partners in Caring is grateful to both Laughlin and McLean for designating their grants.

Both women had $500 donated in their names. The funds will go towards the purchase of much needed medical equipment.

Conference Explored Opportunities for Economic Prosperity through Tourism at Calabogie Peaks Resort February 13th.

Pembroke, ON. The Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) brought together economic developers, destination marketers, funding partners, and government organizations for a day of collaborative discussion around strengthening the tourism industry in Ontario’s Highlands. The conference included a presentation of the Ontario Tourism Investment Strategy, the OHTO Tourism Development Partnership Program and a workshop delivered by the Tourism CafĂŠ from Victoria, BC, on how to enhance the visitor experience by focusing on what the traveler wants instead of selling what a destination has to offer. “It is no secret our rural communities have been struggling to revitalize their economies,â€? but Nicole Whiting, Manager of OHTO stated “momentum is building around exploring ways to support growth in the tourism and hospitality sector. More and more of our community leaders understand the significant economic impact a visitor has on a community both in terms of their immediate visit, but also in terms of the potential to convert that visitor into a resident or business owner. We were very excited to provide a forum to learn about what we need to do as a destination to become more appealing to the visitor.â€? Attendees were surprised to learn this may not mean investing more in advertising.

Nicole explains, “Competition in the tourism industry is fierce and successful destinations are not necessarily the ones that have the biggest marketing budgets. These destinations understand the importance of creating positive memorable experiences for the consumer and this “experience� is a combination of their stay accommodations, the activities they take part in with operators, right down to the service they receive at a local gas station. If the visitor leaves feeling valued and has experienced something truly unique, not only will they be back, but they will be sharing their stories with their friends and family.�

The conference provided attendees with the information they need to understand how they can work together collaboratively to ensure their communities meet the needs of the visitor. Sources of support available to organizations looking at developing programs around destination development were also shared.

The OHTO is a not-for-profit organization mandated by the Province of Ontario to increase tourism within the counties of Haliburton, Lanark, and Renfrew and portions of Frontenac, Hastings, and Lennox and Addington. The OHTO works in collaboration with eight sub-regional marketing organizations, tourism agencies and authorities including: Algonquin Nation, Bancroft & District Chamber of Commerce, ComfortCountry.ca, Haliburton Highlands, Lanark County Tourism, Land O’ Lakes Tourist Association, Ottawa Valley Tourist Association, and the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association.

to assist with the development. BC Hughes is Ontario’s foremost motorcycle route developer, having assisted with route creation and operator coaching across the province and the Northern United States. “Ontario’s Highlands is the breadbasket of twisty roads in the province,� says company co-owner, and rider Chris Hughes. “When we combine the best asphalt with the area’s hidden scenic gems, food, and motorcycle-friendly accommodations, a must ride destination is created.�

Hughes will be joined by motorcycle travel writer and video blogger Michael Jacobs, as they introduce and coach businesses across the region on what it takes to become motorcycle friendly.

The project will expose and document the best routes, attractions, food, and accom-

modations for motorcycle enthusiasts. The team will work with operators and municipal officials to ensure their products and experiences align themselves with what riders are looking for. “It can be as easy as providing specific parking areas, or biker themed food on your menu. It’s the little things that make riders feel welcome.� says Hughes.

Motorcycle market readiness workshops for operators and tourism industry stakeholders will be held across the region Feb. 19 to 21. Find more information and register at www.ohto.ca.

Workshop participants will learn all aspects of the motorcycle touring industry and how to align with it.

RRRoll up the rim etiquette debated EMC business – What’s the proper etiquette when that coffee your friend bought you rolls up to be the all-new 2013 Toyota RAV4?

Two-thirds of Canadians said they would keep the car if treated to the winning coffee by a friend, according to the RRRoll Up the Rim to Win Etiquette Poll. But not all is lost.

The survey also revealed that among those winners who would keep the car, 73 per cent would treat their friend to

a special gift in return for the car (and, hopefully, throw in an occasional ride).

During RRRoll Up the Rim to Win, which began Monday, customers at Tim Hortons have the opportunity to instantly win prizes with the purchase of any hot beverage.

The contest continues until the prize cups are all used up.

Prizes may be claimed until May 19. Prizes for the 2013 contest include 40 grand prizes of the 2013 Toyota RAV4, R0011930299

According to the RRRoll Up the Rim to Win Etiquette Poll, nearly six-in-10 Canadians would share the $100 Tim Card and $5,000 MasterCard prepaid cards with their friend, if that friend treated them to the winning coffee.

Maybe this is the time she might get Emerson Mary Cook

EMC lifestyle - Emerson wasn’t happy. He was grumpy since he got home from school on Friday and Mother announced that Saturday he would be donning an apron, Mother was high on equality of the sexes back in the days when it had yet to become a popular topic.

And so, once a month, the brothers were in the house to do chores, and my sister Audrey and I were sent to the barns. I loved the day we were with Father in the cow byre and the stable, even though he himself did all the heaviest chores.

Mother thought any child, male or female, wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans unless they knew how to scrub floors, churn butter, put a meal on the table, and if need be, bake a batch of bread.

She drew the line, however, at teaching the brothers to sew ever since Emerson was allowed to use the old Singer Sewing machine once, just to see how it worked, he said.

He sewed the legs closed on Everett’s long underwear, and Mother made him sit that night at the kitchen table and pick out every last stitch with a darning needle.

And so that Saturday, bright and early, my three brothers, Everett, Emerson and Earl, were given their lists. Mother was also high on lists too.

On went the long white pinnies. Emerson hated them almost as much as he hated house chores.

“If the guys at the Northcote School ever saw me in one of these, I’d be a goner,” he growled. He glared at me, “and don’t you ever, and I mean ever, tell a soul,” he snarled, “or you will

pay dearly.”

Suddenly, as if someone had lit a candle over my head, I realized this little bit of knowledge might come in handy down the road. I just might be able to use it to my advantage.

And so began a tug-o-war so to speak. When Emerson aggravated me, which was too often to suit me, I would threaten to tell everyone at the Northcote School what Emerson looked like in a long white pinnie!

I even went as far as to draw a stick lad, wearing an apron and printed Emerson’s name under it. I kept it in my primer book reader at the ready, and made sure Emerson knew it was there.

Emerson’s teasing came to an abrupt halt, I can tell you! I finally had him where I wanted him.

I took my sister Audrey into my confidence, and even showed her the drawing of the stick lad. At that stage in her life, Audrey was high on religion. She thought what I was doing could be classified as a sin.

I mulled over this bit of information, and I certainly didn’t want to bring on the wrath of God, but for the life of me I couldn’t understand for a minute why God would care about a

scrap of paper with a stick drawing on it, which was supposed to be my brother Emerson.

Well, the whole idea of using it to expose Emerson at the Northcote School wearing a pinnie came to a crashing end not more than a week after I threatened to expose him.

It all happened when Three Mile Herman came to school mad as a Hatter. Now, Three Mile Herman’s mother and my mother belonged to the Women’s Institute together, and it seems they got to talking about their families.

Three Mile Herman said his mother was told by our mother her idea of switching chores between the sons and daughters, and it was good training and made perfect sense if they were ever going to amount to a hill of beans. And that’s all she needed to hear.

Mother had earned great respect in the Northcote area since everyone knew she had come from New York City, and, therefore, must be up on all the latest trends and ideas.

And so before he could say “jackrabbit,” Three Mile Herman was in an apron doing house chores! Unlike Emerson, he didn’t care who knew it.

That didn’t mean he liked either the pinnie or doing house chores, but he like to talk, and he liked an audience, and soon everyone at the Northcote School knew about our brothers and the boys in Three Mile Herman’s family doing house chores.

Well, that took the sting off for Emerson. There was someone else at the Northcote School in the same kettle of fish as he as.

I had to tear up the picture I drew and kept in my primer book reader, and Emerson was back to making my life miserable.

There is always a face before me, A voice I love to hear, A smile I will always remember, Of a son, I love so dear, Deep in my heart, there is a picture, More precious than silver or gold, It’s a picture of our son, His memory will never grow old.

REAL ESTATE SERVICES

God knew that she was suffering That the hills were hard to climb So He closed her weary eyelids And whispered “Peace be thine�

Away in the beautiful hills of God By the valley of rest so fair Some day we know not when We will meet our loved one there

She left us, In the early morn; Without her family, To share her pain.

We came, too late, To bid farewell; No time to whisper; ‘til we meet again.

Yet, she wasn’t alone, On her journey Home; But, met by loved ones, Gone on before.

Paradise realized; No more earthly pain.

Awaiting us now; To share love once more.

Forever loved,

Mary Kenopic In loving memory of dear mother & grandmother who passed away on Feb. 23, 2011.

Dearly missed, Love, Teresa, Jim, Kim, Ellison, Shawn, Janet, Connor & Kayla

A thousand words can’t bring you back I know because I’ve tried And neither will a million tears I know because I’ve cried.

You left behind my broken heart and happy memories too I never wanted memories...

I only wanted you.

God we know you gave your precious son To give us life with you But we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want our son to leave, Cause he was precious too.

We all are special in your eyes, And all to you return.

We know our son will not come back, And for this our heart still yearn Our time on earth is for learning, And when our lessons are through, Our Lord will choose the time we leave, And we come back to you.

Our precious son is with you, And there will be a day, That we too will leave this earth, And you will light our way.

His arms will be wide open, And the wait will be worthwhile, When we see again our precious son, And the splendor of his smile.

In loving memory of a dear sister who passed away February 21, 2011 The years may wipe out many things But this theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wipe out never, The memory of those happy days When we were all together.

We think of you in silence, Her name we oft recall, But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing left to answer But her picture on the wall.

Just when her life was brightest, Just when her hopes were best, God called her from among us To a home of eternal rest.

Lovingly remembered, Jim & Lorraine Tim & Arda Brent & Mary

Making friends with the vet: why Boxer dies from crossbow to chest, cruelty laws too lax annual check-ups are important EMC lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C;A 30-year-old man was arrested and may face charges for shooting and killing a boxer mix with a crossbow.

Although Jesse James was responsive, he died overnight from his wounds, according to Dr. Charles Bruce of the Alta Vista Animal Hospital.

Police are not releasing any information about what may have led to the incident, only that the wounded dog made its way home and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the owner noticed the bolt in its chest.

According to Animal Cruelty, the maximum sentence handed down according to revisions to the act in 2009 is two months in jail, up to $60,000 in fines and a lifetime ban on animal ownership. However, this is dependant on prior convictions, prior acts of cruelty to animals and ones willingness to confess to the crime.

In other words, if the individual involved has never been in trouble with the law, never hurt an animal and confesses to the crime, he may walk away with nothing more than a warning.

If this person had killed another individual with a crossbow instead of a dog, he would be charged with murder and probably sentenced to life without parole, and in the United States, depending where the crime was committed, possibly the death penalty.

After much research, I uncovered the follow. Please note, that for some the following information may be disturbing.

In Pittsburgh in January, a 31-year-old male shot his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog in the head and after a failed attempt to remove the bolt, placed the dog on the sidewalk in front of his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home for someone to care for it.

The dog survived and was later placed in a foster home.

In Fort Worth, Texas in April 2012, a Shepherd Husky mix was shot by a crossbow and survived.

In Riverside, California in July 2011, a German shepherd mix was shot through the chest from shoulder to shoulder and was eventually euthanized.

In North Bay in October 2010, Kumo, a four-year-old Husky was shot with a crossR0011930817/0221

bow and died at the emergency animal hospital in Barrie.

I find that as long as the laws are lax and the punishment weak there is no real deterrent to an individual to abuse animals. I also find our governments weak when it comes to enforcing cruelty to animals.

Whether it is at the federal, provincial of municipal level, all you ever see enforced are laws that have no bite, no substance, laws like licensing, off-leash, pooping-and-scooping or barking, laws that protect no one from nothing.

No politician is going push an animal cruelty law on any governing body for the simple reason that the politician has nothing to gain politically in doing so, so why bother.

Animal cruelty laws provide absolutely no political gain for any one in politics. In other words, our pets count for nothing in the eyes of our politicians.

What is more frustrating is that there is nothing one can do to change the way the government sits on animal cruelty issues.

It is hard to establish a law for something that is considered nothing more than chattel.

EMC news - Taking your pet to the vet can be a trying experience.

Some pets will find it traumatic, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical to keeping your pet healthy and catching potential problems early on. Pets Plus Us, a pet owner community and insurance coverage provider, provides advice on finding the right vet and the importance of preventive care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best advice I can give is to get your dog or cat used to going to the vet when they are young,â&#x20AC;? says Randy Valpy, the top dog at Pets Plus Us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another great tip is to ask your friends and family for a referral.â&#x20AC;?

When you take your pet to the vet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to write down your questions ahead of time.

If this is the annual visit, your vet will examine their eyes, teeth, and ears; will check their coat and skin for bumps and sores; and will lis-

ten to the heart and weigh them.

The vet will likely also perform a musculoskeletal exam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that every dog and cat benefits from annual vet check-ups, vaccinations and dental care,â&#x20AC;? Valpy continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An annual trip to the vet is still the most effective way to keep your pet healthy and, in some cases, can help avoid emergency medical care.â&#x20AC;?

When you are taking your dog or cat to the vet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to bring some treats or toys for them, particularly if they are anxious, Valpy said.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also want to have a leash handy to keep your pet close to you.

If your dog barks or bites, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to have them in a muzzle. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also want to bring your insurance card if you have pet insurance.

Brownies fight the winter chill with sleepover EMC lifestyle - The fourth Arnprior Brownies had their winter sleepover at the Christian Education Centre on Friday, Feb. 8.

The girls, members of the Girl Guides movement, enjoyed smoothies, a fashion show, face mask and manicures. As always, they camped out in two huge tents that were set up in the hall.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Are you ready for surprises, Aries? If not, loosen up a little bit because there is a little excitement in store for you. It will come when you least expect it.

You may need an extra dose of patience this week, Taurus. Some difficult tasks are ahead and you will be in charge of getting things back to normal.

Gemini, though many things can induce stress, the infectious sound of children’s laughter will quickly take you out of a slump. Take some time to enjoy the simpler things in life.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

9. A public promotion 10. More meretricious 11. Invests in little enterprises 12. Integrated circuit 13. Rednecks 14. Atomic #69 17. Legume hemp 19. Adam’s garden partner 20. The color of blood 21.

Scorpio, you may need to take a look at your finances and any things you can do to address any issues. Tweak things that have not been working as you had hoped.

Sagittarius, make some concessions if it means keeping the peace around the house. Sometimes you have to simply sit back and let others be in the spotlight.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, take a few moments to think about what you expect from a particular person and then develop a strategy that will bring you to that end. It sounds easy, but it will require effort.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, before reacting to something this week, take a few deep breaths before saying or doing anything. This way you can be sure you are not engaging in a knee-jerk reaction.

Last week’s answers

Libra, someone you can trust will be by your side this week when you need the most support. He or she also can help with sorting through financial concerns.

Cancer, some issues that require your attention arise at the office even though you may feel you have already devoted enough time to work responsibilities this week.

A memorable night is on the horizon, Leo. It may be Wednesday or Thursday, so plan to look your best on those days. Romance could be in the air as well.

The fourth Arnprior Brownies on a winter walk in Gillies Grove.

The highlight of the overnight was a cucumber competition where the groups tried to stack the most cucumber slices over the eyes of their friends.

They topped it off with a gorgeous winter walk through the fresh snow in Gillies Grove and then came back for pizza, crafts and candy necklaces.

Sometimes things last, but other times they fizzle away, Aquarius. You may not be able to predict the outcome of everything, but you can take steps to protect the things you want to save.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Others will quickly figure out that there is no one quite like you, Pisces. You are a great friend to be around.
