Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are encouraging drivers and pedestrians alike to take precautions near a newly designed intersection in Arnprior. Two incidents seven days apart have resulted in injuries at the new traffic light on Daniel and Arthur streets and the new Canadian Tire gas station parking lot. A red 2015 Jeep Cherokee ran the red light and struck a black 2007 Pontiac G5 at about 5 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 12, said OPP Const. Janice Sawbridge. Both drivers — lone occupants — were transported to hospital; one by ambulance, the other by police. The 63-year-old woman driving the Jeep, from Arnprior, is charged with failure to stop at a red light. If found guilty, she faces a $260 fine and assigned demerit points. (Drivers do not lose demerit points. They collect them for breaking certain traffic laws.) Tara Gesner/Metroland It is unclear if the man driving of the Pontiac is from Arnprior. The second incident took Pierce Koch makes a quick stop with the puck during the Township of McNab/Braeside Festival of Outdoor Rinks pond place in the gas station’s parkhockey tournament at White Lake Park on Feb. 10.

ing lot, next to the intersection. A pedestrian was struck at about 9:30 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 5. An ambulance was called for the 64-year-old man who sustained minor injuries, Sawbridge said. He was hit as he crossed the parking lot to pay for gas by a vehicle with too much snow on their windshield. OPP gave the driver a warning. However, because it occurred on private property, the driver will not face any further penalty. Sawbridge explained that unless a criminal offence occurs, police couldn’t level charges on private property. Drivers can roll through stop signs and commit other offences that would result in traffic violations on public property. If the pedestrian was physically assaulted, OPP could lay charges. But being struck by a vehicle doesn’t count. With the entire area newly redesigned, Sawbridge is asking people to take care. “It’s a good warning for drivers that there increased turning activity,” she said. “It would be prudent for people to pay extra attention in that area.” Sawbridge said the investigating officers didn’t cite property design flaws in their reports.

Archives holds AGM; celebrates 25 years of service to the public TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com
The Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives (Archives) held its annual general meeting (AGM) on Feb. 10. The well-attended event took place in the community room at the Arnprior Public Library. In addition to the AGM, which included a review of the minutes from last year’s meeting, approval of the 2018 board and reports from the president, treasurer and archivist, there was an open house, featuring refreshments, displays and a tour of the Archives. The AGM was also an opportunity for the Archives to celebrate 25 years of open doors to the public. Its mandate is to acquire, preserve and make accessible important historical documents relating to the local region. President Irene Robillard noted the organization was incorporated in 1991 as the Arnprior and District Archives, and it opened for business in 1993. Other highlights: microfilming of Arnprior newspapers with financial assistance from the former Runge Newspapers Inc., 1994; first part-time archivist hired (Anne Wimmi), 1995; website launched, 1999; storage capacity expanded and Renfrew County land records received, 2000; Charles Macnamara – A Retrospective View virtual exhibit, 2003; expansion of outreach program, 2005; in-house database installed, providing searchable collection descriptions, 2006; inaugural strategic plan and name changed to the Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives, 2007; 200 fonds, 2009; database now available online, providing optimal updat-

Guest speaker Archivist of Ontario and Chief Privacy Officer John Roberts was the AGM’s special guest speaker, visiting from Toronto. He spoke about how the Archives of Ontario supports archives across Ontario and is “a vital partner in preserving family and community heritage.” “It is a great institution,” he stressed. “The staff and volunteers are wonderful.”
The Archives of Ontario originated in 1903, and it is the second largest archives in Canada – behind Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa. Roberts noted the objectives of the Archives of Ontario are to preserve records of archival value and to provide public access to records in the custody or control of the Archives of Ontario. He added, “A really important one...something I encourage when doing our work” is to promote good recordkeeping by public bodies to facilitate the preservation of record of archival value. “We also endeavour to assist historical research and encourage archival activities in Ontario,” Roberts continued. The Archives of Ontario works with smaller archives by way of touring exhibitions, speakers’ bureaus, professional development, internships, co-ops, specialist resources (shared practices) and exhibition and digitization loans, just to name a few. “We are part of a community,” Roberts said. Too, the organization works with and through the Archives Association of Ontario, in addition to its shared stakeholders: Ontario Genealogical Society, Ontario Historical Association and Ontario Museum Association. In 2017, the Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives saw its volunteers donate 2,862 hours, from providing research assistance to working on special projects and board activities. Other numbers highlighted during the AGM on Saturday: 116 walk-in visitors in 2017, along with another 150 requests for information by phone, or email. The Archives is always looking for new volunteers. Anyone interested can call 613-6230001 or email ADArchives@hotmail.com. The 2018 Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives board is made up of the following individuals: Robillard; vice president and Women’s Institute representative Sara MacKenzie; secretary Enid Blackwell; treasurer Art Turnewitsch; Town of Arnprior representative Ted Strike; Township of McNab/Braeside representative Tom Peckett; Janet Carlile of the Arnprior & District Museum; member at large John Smith; and member at large Brian Gilhuly. Outgoing members include Julie Hartwick and Bradley Samuel. Looking to the future, “it is not totally rosy,” Robillard said. “We will have challenges,” from the organization running lean to the storage area being at capacity.

Residents expected to contribute $4M to new nursing home DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Arnprior and area residents will be asked to contribute $4 million to the new nursing home, a business crowd learned at a recent breakfast meeting. Eric Hanna, president and CEO of Arnprior Regional Health (ARH), said beginning this fall it should take two years to build the $24- to $27-million facility. Residents are being asked to contribute about 3 per cent more compared to the emergency room renovation. This time, the community will be expected to raise 12
to 14 per cent for the building; the province will pay the remainder; and, as always, the community picks up 100 per cent of the equipment costs. It will be financed over 25 years. “So it’s a challenge,” Hanna said. “We can’t build it fast enough.” The Grove Nursing Home has 90 people on a wait list. The facility is the first in Ontario granted more licences for beds in over eight years. It will go from 60 long-term care beds to 96, include a secure garden, and convert the existing building into a seniors’ village for programming.
He explained that the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital’s budget for facilities has gone from $2 million last year to $3 million. Some of the work being done includes: • 151 new windows in the 1970s wing; • new doctors’ offices in the Primary Health Care Centre; • second-floor washroom expansion; • improved signage to register more quickly; • Dynacare’s private laboratory is under renovation.
to attract five to six new physicians over the coming years, both to replace those retiring and deal with the town’s population growth. The hospital recently won an award for fulfilling all but three of 1,500 standards. Two of those are “under construction,” he said. ARH is always welcoming more volunteers to the auxiliary, patient family advisory council (a chair is in place), foundation capital campaign, Grove family council, and the board of directors. Also speaking at the Feb. 7 meeting was Arnprior Mayor David Reid and McNab/Braeside Hanna also mentioned the need Mayor Tom Peckett.

McNab/Braeside mayor talks road repairs at business crowd meeting DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
McNab/Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett talked to a business crowd recently about road repairs and community events. Speaking at the annual Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting on Feb. 7, Peckett said the following roads saw work done this year; McLeod, Pine Grove, Mountain View, Meyer, Scheel, Kippen, Deerfield, Lorlei and Fraser.
Public Works Director Ryan Frew later listed roads to be done this year. They include: • McLachlan Road from Creek Side Road to cul-desac (3.3 km); • McLeod Road from McLachlan Road South (0.5 km); • Maple Bend Road from Stewartville Road to Mill Ridge Road (1.4 km); • Mast Road from River Road to Caruso Circle (0.5 km); • Robertson Line from White Lake Road South (1.7 km);
St. Patrick’s Dance SATURDAY 8 - MIDNIGHT MARCH
• Scheel Drive from Russett Drive North (2.9 km); • Mill Ridge Road from start of surface treatment near Flat Rapids Road (CR-63) North (1.1 km). Peckett detailed numerous community events that took place during Canada’s 150th birthday, and showed a video of the successful relay through the township that saw various modes of transportation put to use. “That event involved many, many people,” Peckett said. “The whole township!” He started off by thanking Arnprior Mayor David Reid for TOM PECKETT establishing a services agreement — a campaign promise of both reation facilities. Unlike the town, the township — that sees township residents using the town’s library and rec- does have its own official plan. Its
document meant to guide financial decisions over long periods of time, is done by the county, saving the municipality $50,000, he said. He praised the success of the farmers’ market held in the Pernell building near the township offices. “I think it’s been a successful venture. It’s slowly moving forward,” he said, adding that the building will undergo a renovation to allow for “soft sports” and seating for up to 200 during special events. Council has approved numerous building replacements, including new township offices and a new recreation centre in Braeside. Peckett mentioned the little known provincial park in his
township, Alexander Stewart Park. The township also put $61,000 into renovating the White Lake community building, but vandals have already damaged it. The township’s declining demographics are changing to younger families. Like Arnprior, he expects new houses in two new subdivisions this year. Three others are “on the books.” Near the end of his speech, Peckett praised the township’s volunteer firefighters, which often has more than the minimum number of responders to any given fire cal Also speaking at the breakfast meeting was Reid and Arnprior Regional Health president and CEO Eric Hanna.
We would like to thank the Community for voting us the Diamond, Platinum and Gold Awards for the specified categories. We appreciate your continued support as well as your patience during our recent renovations.

Arnprior firefighters were busy again on Feb. 13 with two calls in quick succession. The first at 6:50 a.m. was for a report of smoke and flames visible near the Madawaska bridge, says a Feb. 13 press release from the Town of Arnprior. “Firefighters searched the area but found no sign of anything burning.” The second call at 7:05 a.m. was for a pot left unattended on the stove.
“In this case the residents were alerted by a smoke detector soon enough to remove the pot before the thick acrid smoke, that usually results from burned cooking, could debilitate them,” says the release. Firefighters used a positive pressure ventilation fan to remove the smoke from the residence. “The fire department cannot stress enough the importance of having working smoke
detectors, saying it could well have saved lives in this instance. It is important to check your smoke detectors regularly,” says the release. “Arnprior firefighters play an important role in all emergency situations, not only fires. Their expertise and training in scene control and scene safety along with the skills and resources to extract victims from a variety of situations is an invaluable role in all emergency situations.”

Inventor, Entrepreneur and Angel Investor), Ryan McCartney (member of the BDC Communitech Team), Stephane Levesque (President and co-owner of SRB Technologies (Canada) Inc) and John Hayden (Manager of N1M and N100 at Northumberland CFDC). The RC100 Entrepreneurship Competition is supported by numerous partners including Power Panellists and Advisors, Northumberland CFDC (N100), Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), Invest Ottawa, MathWorks, Budgeto, Reviewr, SRB Technologies (Canada) Inc., Algonquin College (Pembroke) Start-Up Ottawa Valley, County of Renfrew, City of Pembroke, Edwards Professional Corporation and the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario). To compete, a company must have a plan to commercialize a new and innovative technology-driven product or service with: • Sizeable market opportunity • High-growth potential/scalability • Competitive advantage • Credible founder team • Potential for economic impact in Renfrew County The deadline for the RC100 competition applications through the online platform “Reviewr” is April 30 at 11:59 p.m. The first round “The Pitch Contest” will be held on June 19, 2018 before a live audience.

NOTICE OF FIRST OPEN HOUSE FOR THE PROPOSED UNDERTAKING UNDER THE ONTARIO WATERPOWER ASSOCIATION CLASS EA FOR WATERPOWER PROJECTS: CALABOGIE GENERATING STATION REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is proposing to redevelop the existing Calabogie Generating Station (GS). This proposed undertaking will involve an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Ontario Waterpower Association (OWA) Class EA for Waterpower Projects as a Project Associated with Existing Infrastructure. Constructed in 1917, the existing station has an installed capacity of 5 megawatts (MW) and is now at its end of life stage. OPG intends to redevelop the site and increase the station’s capacity to approximately 10 to 15 MW. The Proposed Undertaking is on the Madawaska River within the village of Calabogie, in the Township of Greater Madawaska, Ontario, as detailed on the map below. OPG does not plan to alter the approved water levels and flows as described in the Madawaska River Water Management Plan (WMP). As such, the anticipated zone of impact for the project is limited to the immediate area around the station (see shaded/hatched area on the map). An administrative amendment to the WMP may be required under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act. This notice and public consultation process for the project under the Class EA is intended to coordinate and meet the notification requirements relevant to the planning stage of the project under both the Environmental Assessment Act and Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act statutes. The Class EA process requires OPG to undertake an evaluation of the project to evaluate its potential effects to the environment (positive and negative), and prepare a detailed environmental report. The evaluation and resulting environmental report will assess the potential effects of the proposed waterpower project on the environment during both construction and operation. OPG has identified certain environmental components that it expects to be the focus of the proposed project. Consultation with Indigenous communities and the public is an integral component of this process, and allows interested parties to provide comments on the project. You are invited to provide comments on the issues to be addressed. For information on the project proposal, to raise any issues or concerns, or to be placed on the project’s mailing list, please contact one of the individuals identified below. Over the next year, OPG will use the OWA Class EA process as a basis for coordinating all future consultation required for the planning stage of the Proposed Undertaking. If the project proceeds as scheduled, construction could commence in 2020. To encourage public participation, OPG is scheduling two rounds of open houses. The first open house is scheduled as follows: Monday, March 5, 2018, 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Calabogie Community Hall, 574 Mill Street, Calabogie, Ontario The open house will provide the public with more information about the Proposed Undertaking. Anyone who attends will have the opportunity to speak directly with representatives from OPG and its environmental consulting team with regard to the OWA Class EA. OPG has retained Arcadis Canada Inc. to undertake the Class EA process. For more information, please contact: For more details, please visit calabogiegs.com. Under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Environmental Assessment Act, unless otherwise stated in the submission, any personal information such as name, address, telephone number and property location included in a submission will become part of the public record files for this matter and will be released, if requested, to any person.

Safety first, last and always With spring conditions (hopefully) just around the corner, it’s important to keep safety top of mind. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind everyone to be aware of changing conditions before venturing out on ice covered bodies of water. Please be aware of your surroundings and check the ice before venturing out, say police. The Canadian Red Cross says the colour of ice may be an indication of its strength. Clear blue ice is strongest. White opaque or snow ice is half as strong as blue ice. Opaque ice is formed by wet snow freezing on the ice. Grey ice is unsafe. The grayness indicates the presence of water. Ice thickness should be: 15 cm for walking or skating alone; 20 cm for skating parties or games
and 25 cm for snowmobiles. Check with local authorities before heading out. Avoid going out on ice at night. There are a number of tips to keep in mind to ensure you don’t end up making news instead of reading it. Check the weather before you leave and watch for changing weather conditions. Do not travel on ice alone or in the dark. Always make someone aware of your plans and the routes you will be taking. Make sure to carry a small survival kit with you in case of emergencies this can include but is not limited to; an ice pick, rope, lighter, matches, pocket knife, compass and whistle. Safety first, last and always. Be prepared and stay safe.
Clear choice For Conservative party members Champlain Dementia Network To the editor: Federal Conservative party members have a stark choice in the upcoming nomination vote on Feb. 24 in Renfrew and Barry’s Bay and the 25 in Pembroke, between the incumbent Cheryl Gallant and the challenger Mike Coates. Whether you are an agricultural producer, like I am, or your livelihood comes from forestry, tourism, manufacturing, scientific research or the military, we all experience the challenge of making ends meet and providing a good life for our families, including having hope that our families can stay in the riding and share in our rich way of living. Unfortunately, the last 25 years have not been kind to Renfrew County. We have clearly become a “have not” riding. While we stoically carry on, with the same spirit our forefathers brought to this land, it would sure be nice if we had an advocate in Ottawa who had a plan to lift the county from our negative economic situation. After 18 years, first as a Reformer, then as an Alliance Party member and now as a Conservative, we know what to expect from the incumbent: more of the same. There’s a reason
why our representative has never advanced within the Conservative caucus either as part of the governing party or in opposition. Her brand has succeeded wildly in isolating the riding from the political dialogue and has ensured that we have virtually no influence on policy development and management within the party. The incumbent has never been a parliamentary assistant, or portfolio critic, let alone in cabinet in 18 years in Ottawa. The last time this riding had a cabinet minister was when Joe Greene was our Member of Parliament in the 1960s and early ‘70s when the county was humming with economic activity. So what’s the choice? The incumbent has spent much of her time during the nomination period describing her opponent, Mike Coates, as a lobbyist! So what is a lobbyist? Webster’s dictionary describes a lobbyist as “an individual who conducts activities aimed at influencing public officials toward a desired action”. Doesn’t sound too scary to me. Wouldn’t we like to have a representative who can move around political circles in Ottawa, work with our MPP representative

in Ontario and influence policy and regulatory matters that would actually make things better for our riding? It’s time we had an advocate, yes a lobbyist, who has the framework of a plan for economic, infrastructure and social development. Whether you are in the agricultural sector, forestry, manufacturing, scientific research or military, wouldn’t you want someone on our side who is working to drive change that gets government working for us, not against us? I like the odds of success, working within caucus and government, rather than resolutely sitting on the sidelines, re-litigating yesterday’s issues. It’s past time for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke to emerge from within the Conservative Party as a positive, fresh Conservative voice. Our riding deserves more attention in Ottawa. Our way of life is secure, we just need a representative like Mike Coates who already knows his way around the party to fight for our needs and values and insist we get our fair share. J.

launches public awareness campaign New program to help develop detail care plan The Champlain Dementia Network is pleased to announce the official launch of an ongoing public awareness and social media campaign designed to encourage people diagnosed or impacted by dementia to plan, discuss, and implement their wishes through advanced care planning. When a diagnosis of dementia is received, there are so many feelings, fears and plans to make. While the dementia journey is different for every person and family, there will come a time when deeper conversations are difficult. Talking about advanced care, and developing a detailed plan, can help ease the burden. The advanced care planning resources developed by the CDN, in partnership with the Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program, are designed to guide people who have been diagnosed with dementia to create a plan for advanced care. They include information sheets that help separate the myths from the realities of advanced-care planning, a video on the five stages of planning, personalized

The sounds of spring are starting Although the vernal equinox is still a month away, there are sounds currently being heard that tell us spring is on its way. On warm days black-capped chickadees cheerily (and perhaps optimistically) whistle: “spring’s here” while whitebreasted nuthatches stutter their unusual sonatinas. Warm days inspire house finches to fill the air with their lovely warbles, rapidly travelling between high and low frequencies and ending in a downslurred note. Much less musical are the guttural croaks of common ravens uttered as they evaluate silo ladders and cliff ledges as near-future nest sites. One common spring sound

We should all be very concerned by the crisis facing quality journalism JOHN HONDERICH
Canada is facing a crisis of quality journalism. Reporters are being laid off in droves, many smaller communities are now “news deserts” with no local newspaper, and the amount of serious investigative journalism is declining sharply. And if you believe, as I do, that a vigorous, investigative press is essential for a strong democracy, we should all be very concerned. At the beginning of its mandate, the Trudeau government seemed to share that concern. It commissioned the Public Policy Forum, under the direction of veteran editor and journalist Ed Greenspon, to study the issue. The final report, entitled “The Shattered Mirror,” was released a year ago. It outlined in vivid detail the crisis and put forward 12 core recommendations. The government also commissioned the Commons committee on Canadian heritage, under Vancouver MP and former journalist Hedy Fry, to conduct a parallel investigation. After months of hearings and dozens of witnesses, it came up with 20 practical recommendations. For the record, it should be noted I participated in both processes. As chair of Torstar and a 40-year veteran of the Toronto Star, I care passionately about quality journalism and the health of our democracy. Needless to say, the very survival of Torstar’s dailies and weeklies is also foremost on my mind.

Canadian Heritage. The issue was fully studied last year by the Commons standing committee on government operations and estimates. In its final report, it concluded Ottawa’s advertising strategy had resulted in a “misalignment” of the reality that many Canadians still rely on traditional media. It urged more spending be directed to traditional media “including TV, radio and print media.” The result? Nothing to date. 4. Digital tax credits: The heritage committee recommended that newspapers be given a temporary five-year tax credit for a portion of the labour and capital they spend on digital innovation. In fact, Ontario also had a digital media tax credit but it has been discontinued. The result? Nothing to date. 5. Canada Periodical Fund: Since before Confederation, this fund and its precursors have provided financial support to Canadian magazines and weeklies. Maclean’s magazine, for example, receives $2 million annually from this fund, allowing it to continue in operation. Both the Public Policy Forum and the heritage committee recommended that daily newspapers be included in this fund. The result? Idea rejected. 6. The Canadian Press: Canada’s national wire service, which celebrated its 100th anniversary last year, has had a pension problem for several decades. Eight years ago, the three owners of CP (one being Torstar) went to Ottawa to see if CP could get an extended period to meet its obligations. The proposal, fully supported by CP’s staff, was enthusiastically endorsed by th then finance minister Jim Flaherty. And it cost Ottawa nothing. “CP is too important to this country,” he told SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24th, 2018, 6AM UNTIL 5PM us.

slog. 7. CP and local journalism: To help provide news coverage in smaller communities, the Public Policy Forum suggested The Canadian Press be given the mandate and resources to fill the gaps. The idea is for CP to hire 60 to 80 reporters across the country to do the bread-and-butter coverage of city halls, courts and legislatures. The estimated cost is $8 million to $10 million a year. A similar concept has been rolled out in Great Britain by the BBC. The result? Nothing to date. 8. CBC and cbc.ca: The huge exception, of course, to Ottawa’s studied indifference is our national broadcaster. The Trudeau government has pledged an additional $675 million over five years to the CBC. Parenthetically, just 1 per cent of Ottawa’s total funding to the CBC would pay for more than half the Toronto Star’s newsroom. In today’s digital world, the greatest competitor to Canadian newspaper websites is cbc.ca. It is an excellent website, flush with resources and funded, of course, by the public. Not only that; it is free. Furthermore, it is out in the market competing for digital advertising. The heritage committee, in its report, proposed that Canada adopt the British model where the BBC does not compete for ads. The rationale is that the public broadcaster has an obvious advantage with its guaranteed public funding. The result? Idea rejected. 9. Non-profit journalism and philanthropy: In the U.S., Germany and other countries, non-profitable journalism ventures are funded by grants from foundations. Under their laws, such grants are considered charitable donations. Both the Public Policy Forum and the federal task force on charities urged the passage of similar legislation in Canada. The result? Idea rejected. 10. Investigative journalism support: To help promote investigative and civic journalism, the Public Policy Forum recommended the creation of a legal advisory service. Large newspapers, such as the Star, have in-house counsel who provide essential legal advice on difficult investigations or articles. For smaller publications, these costs can be prohibitive. The result? Nothing to date. In summary, this list speaks for itself. In fact, there are other more expensive proposals that are deliberately not included. Again, most of the 10 above cost nothing, but rather involved changing the law or practice. Studied indifference. I believe this country and its journalism and democracy deserve better. John Honderich is the chair of Torstar, the Toronto Star’s parent company.
Leaps & Bounds Children’s Centre celebrates 10th anniversary SHELLY MOSSEAU
Arnprior and District Child Care Services has been in the community going on 30 years! Imagine the innovative thought process to have licensed care in our community as early as 1989, delivered to us by a group of parents and community members with a vision. Rainbow Valley Child Care (preschool, kinder and school age) opened at Alexander Reid Public School in 1989 and shortly thereafter Sunshine Preschool (toddler and preschool) opened its doors on McLachlin St. in town. With growth on the horizon, funding in place from
the County of Renfrew as well as the provincial government, and co-operation from the Renfrew County District School Board; Arnprior and District Child Care Services (ADCCS) amalgamated their two centres into one new centre on February 8 2008 at AJ Charbonneau Elementary Public School in Arnprior. With the support of the community and surrounding area, this centre took off. Starting with 81 licensed spaces for children 12 months to 12 years of age — it has now grown to 152 licensed spaces for children (an increase in spaces for kinder and school age are the bulk of the increase). Growth
is for sure the way Leaps & Bounds has taken off since relocating. ADCCS branched out to Renfrew in 2015. Leaps & Bounds Renfrew opened September 2015, housed in St. Thomas the Apostle school, offering care for all families in the community for children 12 months to 12 years of age. Again, this past September, ADCCS opened up a licensed before and after school program at St. Joseph School in Arnprior, serving families at that end of town, in particular targeting those needing care that attend Walter Zadow Public School or St. Joseph Catholic School. We are not sure what is on
the horizon in the next few years, but with a supportive ADCCS board of directors, we are sure to continue to be a prominent part of licensed child care in Arnprior, Renfrew and surrounding area. Leaps & Bounds Children’s Centre at AJ Charbonneau celebrates their 10th Anniversary this month, but also celebrates their growth and the support that ADCCS has had for almost 30 years. It takes a village… For info contact: leapsandbounds@adccs.ca Arnprior site, leapsandbounds2@adccs. ca Renfrew site, leapsandboudnsstjoes@adccs.ca St. Joseph School site.

Bluefish builds on success JEREMIAH GILLETT
The Arnprior Bluefish Swim Club (ABSC) continues to build on the success of previous years in this 2017-2018 season. With 54 swimmers the club provides swim training at the non-competitive, pre-competitive and competitive level. Drawing on swimmers from across the mid-Ottawa Valley region, the club continues to build not only skills in the pool, but also builds friendships, community and team spirit. The competitive season began in the fall with the Perth Spooky Halloween Meer, followed by the Snow Flake Invitational hosted at the Cornwall Athletic Centre. December the ABSC hosted its own in-house fun meet, which gives all swimmers, even pre-competitive and non-competitive level swimmers a chance to experience the fun and excitement of a swim meet and to cheer each other on. There have been many successes for our athletes this season. Most recently, three of our athletes qualified and swam at the Eastern Ontario Regional Championships in Belleville Ontario. Three ABSC swimmers Clayton Williamson, Jordan Schaepper and Alex Wroe competed amongst the fastest in the region. Overall the three Bluefish finished 13th overall in the team standings. Clayton Williamson achieved personal best times in six of the seven events he swam in and finishing top eight in all of them. At age 9 Clayton is already in his second Regional competition and working for a third next year. Clayton has also qualified to compete in the Provincial meet in the 200 Freestyle. Alex Wroe swam in six events making the A or B finals in all of them and bringing home his first hardware in the 50m Breaststroke. Jordan Schaepper completed personal bests in all seven of the events he swam in, finished top eight in all, and medalled in the 400m Freestyle. Jordan also swam fastest enough to qualify for Provincials in five events. ABSC continue to train for meets this spring in Ot-

Like many community youth sport organizations the club relies on the dedication of parent volunteers. This season those volunteers and the newly elected Executive, like our athletes, are building on the success of previous years. Also similar to other amateur athletic undertakings, the club depends on fundraising to make the team sustainable and successful. To support the athletes who commit up to 10 hours a week, or more, training in the pool, the Club has run a successful Bottle Drive, a Cabi Fashion Fundraiser, a Nineand-Dine at Mountain Creek Golf Course and Legion BINGO. This spring the Club will continue with a Westjet “Gift of Flight” raffle and our annual Swim-AThon in which swimmers will be supported by pledges when they complete a 5km swim in two trying hours in the pool April 3, 4, and 5. For more information check us out at arnpriorbluefish.net.
Nick Ross waits for the love after scoring for his Arnprior District High School team on Valentine’s Day against St. Joseph. The Rapids held on but dropped 3-2 to the first-place team. Arnprior is in seventh place in the eight-team league with playoffs around the corner.
St. Joseph forward Nat Leduc manages to get a shot off that Opeongo netminder Joe Mick repels during recent high school hockey action. St. Joe’s won 9-3 and secured top spot in the eight-team league.

Denise Silson October 19th 1961 – February 20th 2008 I can’t believe it’s been ten years since you left. Not one day goes by that I don’t think of you, Sometimes with tears, sometimes with smiles. I miss you so much! Rest in Peace My Love. Chris
Your life was love and labour, Your love for family true, You did the best for all of us, We will always remember you. We sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed and sore, We did our duty to the end, Till we could do no more. In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away, And though our hearts were breaking, We knew you would not stay.
In Memory of Helen Scheels February 22, 2016 For all you meant to us in life And all the joy you brought, Your memory is still with us In every single thought. The pain we felt at losing you Will never ever go away, But knowing you are in our hearts Helps us get through each day. When you were here we always felt That nothing could go wrong, You are still our inspiration And your memory keeps us strong.
Our lips cannot speak how we loved you, Our hearts cannot tell what to say, But God only knows how we miss you, In our home that is lonely today.
And though our hearts remain heavy They are also so full of love, And that is enough to comfort us While you are in Heaven above.
Miss you and Love You Grace, Wendy and Don George and Brenda Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren

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!

OPINION
Connected to your community
Mother was very fussy about the uses for the tea pot It never left the back of the Findlay Oval. The big white enamel tea pot was always at the ready for anyone who wanted a cup of tea, and it seemed to me, that went on most of the day. Green tea.. black was used occasionally, but green tea was what Father preferred. Mother would bring the water to a boil on the front burner in the tea pot, and never measuring, she would just jab her hand into the tin can that held the tea, and toss it into the pot. I noticed too, the leaves were different between the green and the black. Once the green tea had been steeped to Mother or Father’s liking, and poured into a cup, and drank in just a few gulps, the leaves were much larger that those left by black. They seemed to fill the whole bottom of the cup. But Mother preferred black tea. I heard her tell Uncle Lou when he was visiting that she had never laid eyes on green tea in New York, and that it took some getting used to out there on the farm in Northcote. My sister Audrey said Mother couldn’t read the green tea leafs since they sat on the bottom of the cup like wet grass. But when she finished a cup of
to a boil too. This water would be added to the wash tub on Monday mornings, or the big oval tub when we had our Saturday night baths. The reservoir at the end of the Findlay Oval was always full of water, but it was never clear like the water coming out of the tea pot, and always had floating at the top, what my very wise older sister Audrey said, was rust. So it would never do for anything that would go into our mouths. It was the big white tea pot that Mother used to water the house plants. She would take water from the pail that sat on a counter near the back door, fill the tea pot, and tend to her geraniums, and if there was a bit of green tea left in the pot, all the better. She said it was good for the plants. She was fussy about what the tea pot was used for too. Once Father took it off the back of the stove and was about to carry it to the barn to stir water into some feed he was mixing. Mother grabbed the pot from him and said no pot we were drinking from would go anywhere near the barn! And no matter how often it was washed, the inside eventually took on the colour of the tea. This caused Mother to

black tea, she would take a pencil and move the leafs around, and she vowed she could tell what was going to happen down the road just by looking in the bottom of the cup. Audrey said Mother could actually see the future in the black leafs, which scared the living daylights out of me. I knew there was a fortune teller in Renfrew, and she was often called a witch, and I lived in dread that someone in Northcote would know Mother could read tea leaves, and call her a witch too. The last one I wanted to know about Mother’s ability was bad Marguirite who would soon tell everyone at the Northcote School. So I kept it pretty quiet about Mother’s fortune telling talents. The big pot wasn’t just used for just boiling water too. When Mother needed more than she could get out of the big shiny kettle, the white tea pot was filled to the brim and brought

scour the pot within an inch of its life. She liked a clean white tea pot, inside and out. The pot was always moved to one of the front burners when a meal was about to be served. Brought to a boil, the handful of green tea tossed in, and in a few minutes, it was ready to serve. The big white pot, it seemed to me had many uses. There wasn’t
a kitchen in Northcote that didn’t have one sitting on the back of the cook stove, ready to serve up a cup of tea for any neighbour who happened to drop in at any time of the day. Like a warm hand of friendship, the big white enamel tea pot was always ready. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go
