Arnprior report indicates McNab-Braeside has been getting good deal , so rates will rise DEREK DUNN and SHERRY HAAIMA derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – The new user agreement proposals for the Nick Smith Centre and library are either “fair and reasonable� or “a huge tax implication� depending on which mayor is speaking. McNab-Braeside residents pay to use facilities at the Nick Smith Centre such as the pool and rinks, and pay a special rate to access the Arnprior Public Library. The agreements came up for review last fall, but immediately became unhinged when the two sides disagreed over the parameters, including whether talks should take place in public or private. The two sides eventually agreed to meet twice with three representatives each. Arnprior Mayor David Reid presented reports his side did on both facilities to council Feb. 20. It shows that cost per person in Arnprior is $506.50 for the Nick Smith Centre, whereas McNabBraeside’s is $115.06. It also shows comparables with other regions. Beckwith paid Carleton Place, and Laurentian Valley paid Pembroke, an average $27.10 per person in 2012. It equates to about $28.76 in 2016, the year the current negotiations are slated to end. McNab-Braeside’s contribution to Arnprior in 2011 was $15.14 per person. Also, both Beckwith and Laurentian Valley contribute to capital projects, but McNab-Braeside’s municipal government doesn’t contribute to upkeep costs on the 34-year-old Nick Smith Centre. Township residents contribute somewhat through fundraising efforts. According to Arnprior’s proposal, the township users would not have to pay more than $28.76 per person during the five-year term. However, the cost would be $19.34 per person in 2012; $21.74 in 2013; $24.20 in 2014; $26.73 in 2015; and $29.33 in 2016. “We wanted to come up with something fair and reasonable,� Reid said, adding that the percentage for Arnprior residents’ contributions exceeding McNab-Braeside’s is 340. He added that the township residents’ ability to pay is doable: the median family income is $73,278 verses Arnprior’s $59,411. And the municipal residential tax rate in McNab-Braeside is .378 compared to Arnprior’s .796. “That addresses McNab-Braeside’s ability to afford the increases,� he said. At the McNab-Braeside council meeting, also held Tuesday night, Coun. Aldene Styles said the proposed Nick Smith Centre user agreement would increase this year’s township tax rate by 1.59 per cent. Arnprior will also ask the township to pay $10,000 toward the $30,000 recreation master plan. See ‘LIBRARY USE’ Page 3

LEAP YEAR TWINS

Twins Nicholas Ross, right, and Mitchell Ross, celebrate a very special day next week – their third birthday. The twins, students at McNab Public School, were actually born 12 years ago on a leap day Feb. 29. As next Wednesday is leap day, the boys will get a chance to celebrate their birthdays on the actual day they were born, which comes around only once every four years. The boys are sons of Peter and Jackie Ross.

Town council approves budget DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – Arnprior council formally approved a 2.5 per cent increase to the budget at the Feb. 21 town hall meeting. On a $205,000 home, the bump means the ratepayer owes an additional $40 – keeping in mind assessments change – from about $1,633 to $1,674. Other highlights include: • capital expenditures total $1,245,500; • operating expenditures total $10,528,102; • the municipal airport grant is $56,131;

• waterworks expenditures total $1,944,685; • wastewater expenditures total $1,740,504; • cemetery expenditure totals $72,250. There was no discussion prior to council unanimously agreeing to fund the Gillies Grove owner – Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) – to the tune of $2,000. The money is for stewardship, meaning cutting down dangerous trees and similar work. See ‘MARKETING’ Page 6

ers, with contributions from upper level government grants and local fundraising, again including McNab-Braeside. Arnprior ratepayers also contribute 100 per cent of the annual building operating cost of about $45,000. The comparable with Beckwith to Carleton Place in 2011 was about $15.42 per person, which equates to about $16.62 in 2016. The report recommends McNab-Braeside residents pay $10.97 in 2012; $12.33 in 2013; $13.73 in 2014; $15.16 in 2015; and $16.64 in 2016. It would not exceed $16.62 per person during the five-year term. “It is a significant jump,” Reid said. “We feel it is still very fair.” He added that while it will bring in

Using the same methodology, Reid’s report showed that the cost per library item for Arnprior residents is $4.30, whereas the same for McNab-Braeside’s is 73 cents. The percentage Arnprior residents exceeds McNab-Braeside’s is 487. The cost per Arnprior cardholder is $84.77; for McNab-Braeside its $17.03, or a 398 per cent difference. The Arnprior Library was originally built in 1990 at a base cost of $1.2 million with an expansion in 2010 costing another $665,000. Therefore, reads Reid’s report, the total base cost of the library, including land, is in excess of $2 million. The majority of the funding for this facility was provided by Arnprior ratepay-

EMC News – The tug-of-war between the county planning division and Arnprior council over where people are allowed to park recreation vehicles and boats came to something of a compromise. At one time the county, through a comprehensive zoning bylaw, wanted fourwheelers, boats and trailers banned from roadside sight to the owner’s backyard. They are considered an eyesore by some neighbours. But more importantly if a recreation vehicle takes up a parking spot, a family’s second vehicle is likely to end up on the road – interfering with snow removal. Trouble is, when it comes to rowhouse and condo owners, and newer homes with narrow side yards, parking them in

ways, from April 1 to Oct. 31. In winter months, from Nov. 1 to March 31, snowmobiles and their trailers could be parked in front yard driveways. Town planner Robin Smith explained the county’s latest position to council, and how it had heard the town’s frustrations. “Obviously in this town we have a lot of people parking boats,” she said. “People want to have easy access to these vehicles.” Stack called it a “good recommendation.” A public open house to explain the recommendation will be held March 19 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in council chambers. A public meeting to hear owners’ opinions will take place March 26 during the 6:30 p.m. council meeting.

$66,000 more annually to the town, the township hasn’t increased its contribution of $35,000 annually since 1992. Styles said the increase represents a 2.3 per cent increase to the tax base. “It’s a good job you’re sitting down,” Styles said to her council colleagues. “What they are proposing for this year for library, alone, is an increase of 130 per cent over what we paid last year.” Together, if accepted, the new user fee agreement would increase the township tax rate by 3.89 per cent. That’s before council considers inflationary costs and spending in other areas. “This has a huge tax implication for McNab-Braeside,” Mayor Mary Campbell said.

the backyard isn’t an option. They would be forced to find another parking spot or pay a storage company. The current rules aren’t any better. Storage of recreation vehicles today is only permitted in enclosures such as garages or carports or in the interior side yard to the rear of a point midway between the front and rear walls of the main building not closer than 1.2-m (four feet) from the nearest side lot line. Or in the backyard. That didn’t sit well with Reeve Walter Stack and others on council who said part of the attraction to living in town is the outdoor lifestyle. At the Feb. 13 council meeting, the county suggested summer vehicles – recreation vehicles, boats, and trailers – would be allowed in front yard drive-

Commissionaires cancel fifth annual Run for Military Families By THERESA FRITZ

theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC News – A run that generated support for military families and grew beyond expectations is no more. On Feb. 6, in an open letter on the Commissionaires Ottawa website, organization CEO Paul Guindon announced the fifth annual Run for Military Families would not be taking place. The event had been scheduled to take place May 3-4. The event, which Commissionaires Ottawa sponsored, was designed to raise awareness and funds in support of the Petawawa Military Family

Resource Centre (PMFRC), a non-profit agency located at CFB Petawawa. The event saw participation from base members, including the base commander himself as well as members of communities the run passed through. Guindon praised the event and expressed gratitude to all those who have volunteered, participated or supported the run. “There are several reasons that, individually, did not challenge our commitment to organize and sponsor this year’s event, but factored together, they have convinced

me that is it not too late to turn a new page and focus on other ways to give back to the military community in 2012 and beyond,” Guindon wrote. “Please be assured that funds raised so far will be presented to the military family resource centres in Petawawa and the National Capital Region, and we look forward to future collaborations to raise awareness about the important work they do in support of military families.” The run grew steadily from its first outing in 2008. It traditionally began with a kickoff at the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill and the run-

ning convoy made brief stops along the way to in various communities to acknowledge support of donors, school veterans, Legions and military families. Fundraisers with donation boxes were located at all stops along the way. Stops over the years have included locations in Kanata and West Carleton as well as the Township of McNab-Braeside, Town of Renfrew, Township of Whitewater Region and the Town of Arnprior. The run continued up the Valley, crossing the finish line at the Red Friday Rally hosted by Red Friday Ladies

Lisa Miller and Karen Boire in Pembroke. Based on the huge turnout for the Arnprior event, Miller and Boire were actually special guests at last year’s rally in Arnprior. The 2011 event also had its own Facebook page. “It has been a good run, literally, and I am grateful for the tireless efforts of hundreds of volunteers, staff, organizers, guest speakers and runners – too numerous to mentioned but individually appreciated,” Guindon wrote in his open letter. “I was saddened to hear that the 2012 Run for Mili-

tary Families has been cancelled. Commissionaires Ottawa recently faced a series of unforeseen circumstances that led to this difficult decision,” said Arnprior Coun. Lynn Grinstead, one of the organizers of the local events supporting the run. “I personally am very proud of the community of Arnprior, and all the support this event received from our residents. I would personally like to express my gratitude for the opportunity to work closely with various citizens of Arnprior during my couple of years with the Run.” She added it “was impressive to witness the generosity, warmth and enthusiasm that the runners and organizers have experienced in our community during these runs. Arnprior has been an inspiration, and each year everyone involved was so overwhelmed with the support that community showed.” In a separate statement to this newspaper, Guindon elaborated further on his statement on the website. “The Run for Military Families was a very special event that took on a life of its own and grew beyond anyone’s wildest predictions. The organization of this event was carried on the backs of a not-forprofit company and hundreds of volunteers. For four years, we found resourceful ways to give 100 per cent of donations and the majority of corporate sponsorship contributions to the Military Family Resource Centres, plus a $10,000 donation from Commissionaires Ottawa,” he noted. “Although the concept and our approach was unique and well-received, the organization of an event that linked seven different municipalities and had grown so rapidly risked becoming a year-round commitment - and that’s time and resources spent above and beyond everyone’s day jobs.” He emphasized his organization would continue to fundraise and increase awareness but it was time a new direction was taken. “Although our decision to cancel this event was very difficult, Commissionaires Ottawa and many of our volunteers are already looking at different ways to spread out our fundraising and awareness efforts throughout the year rather than try to squeeze it all into two days,” Guindon concluded.

Long-gun registry dismantled by summer: MP Gordon O’Connor BY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – Now that the bill to end the gun registry has passed the House of Commons, Gordon O’Connor said the long-contentious issue should expire before the summer break. “It has to go through the (Conservative-dominated) Senate for three readings,” said O’Connor, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP. “I can’t see it going past the summer recess.” Critics say the Conservatives could have moved more quickly on dismantling the registry, but it has been an ef-

fective tool to rally core supporters and drum up campaign donations. But Bill C-19 hasn’t been divisive in the rural-suburban riding as it has in MP Cheryl Gallant’s Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. She indicates the demise of the program a grassroots victory. “This victory is shared with everyone who never lost faith that we would be successful. This proves you can fight ‘big government’ and win,” Gallant said in a press release. As for it serving to solve inner city gun violence, O’Connor said the registry was “basically a useless pla-

cebo” that interfered with hunters’ right to own long guns, borne of a Liberal attempt to “appear to be taking action” after the 1989 Montreal massacre of 14 women by a gunman with a rifle. “I don’t think a tragedy like that is preventable,” he said. “It’s like what we’ve been saying for many years, a criminal or unbalanced person isn’t going to register their guns.” Women’s safety proponents say many of the Montreal victims could have been saved if guns were less pervasive, and that rural women are in greater danger if long gun sales are allowed to rise. O’Connor said he isn’t aware of sta-

tistics showing rural women who’ve died from long guns is greater than by other means. But he suspects little will change. “I guess anything’s possible, I don’t know the statistics,” he said. “It’s not likely to change the statistics. I don’t think it will.” As for the government’s plan to destroy all related records, a move Quebec plans to file a lawsuit to prevent, O’Connor said it shouldn’t come as a surprise. He doesn’t begrudge the Liberal government in Quebec doing whatever it needs to do to keep the records, but didn’t indicate he is worried about losing in court. His party

has run multiple elections on a promise to abolish the entire program. “It’s not a shock to people: we are only doing what we said we’d do.” He favours destroying all records because they are, in his opinion, out-of-date and inaccurate. As a strategic move that may have cost votes in Quebec, O’Connor doubts that is the case. He said rural people in largely progressive province are just as opposed to the long gun registry as elsewhere in Canada. But he denies that quashing the program will relax the rules, saying an almost 100-year-old law restricting hand guns won’t be affected.

Marketing study included in Arnprior budget

DEAR SPARKY ... The kindergarten class at McNab Public School hosted a special furry visitor last week. Sparky the fire dog and McNab-Braeside Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Officer Karen Barsoski were at the school to kick off a Letters to Sparky project that’s part of a focus on community helpers and teaches writing skills. Teachers Sarah Roy and Kristy Campbell join the guests and students at right.

The NCC has difficulty raising money to chop down trees near the edges of private properties, since its mandate is to preserve old-growth forests (largely in remote areas of the country.) Last year the NCC asked for and obtained $2,000 from the municipal government. It will also ask the Township of McNab-Braeside for the same during its budget talks. Another $2,000 could come from the Friends of Gillies Grove, which has about $60,000 in a bank account. But the volunteer group has indicated it wants to fund projects such as the new gate and fence at the end of Ottawa Street, not cutting down trees. CORRECTION

The Partners in Caring Foundation proudly launched a Capital Campaign on Valentine’s Day in the Diagnostic Imaging Depart-ment at ADMH. This Campaign is to fundraise $400,000 towards the cost of a digital mammography unit. Campaign Chair Kimberley O’Shaughnessy revealed that we are already off to a good start with $300,000 already raised. Why do we need digital mammography at ADMH to serve the women in our community? Simply put, in Canada, 445 breast can-cer diagnoses are made each week. Breast cancer is most treatable when it is detected early. The most reliable way to detect breast cancer early is with mammograms on a regular basis. There are approximately 12,700 women within 20 minutes of ADMH who could benefit from mammograms on a regular basis. This number is expected to rise by 8% in 2015 and 15% in 2020. The Canadian Cancer Society offers the following comparison “A mammogram can see a breast cancer tumor the size of an apple see. The average size of a lump felt by checking your breasts is about the size of a cherry tomato. Mammograms on a regular basis are the most reliable way to detect breast cancer early when it is most treatable”. “Digital mammography is a new era of breast imaging. The use of digital technology allows supe-rior imaging of the breast, compared to previous conventional films. This is particularly the case for women with dense breasts. As well, digital mammograms can sometimes reduce the number of re-turn visits, or “call backs”, since the images can be manipulated to enhance visualization of struc-tures such as calcifications. It truly will be a major enhancement for breast imaging at Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital” explains Radiologist Dr. Frank Lee. We need to make this investment in digital mammography to ensure that we continue to provide our community with the very best early breast cancer detection available. We do need the help of the community to accomplish this goal. More information about this project and how you can help or donate is available on our website www.arnpriorhospital.com or please call Wendy or Karen in the Partners in Caring Foundation office at 613-623-7962 x293.

Your Community Newspaper

Rural communities must attract immigrants The results of the latest census pose a number of challenges both nationally and in the southern Upper Ottawa Valley - beginning with an aging population. In 2011, the oldest of the baby boomer generation reached 65, retirement age. That means fewer workers will be expected to support those who aren’t working. One possible solution is to raise corporate taxes to 1990s levels. But both the federal and provincial governments are resistant, preferring to enter a race to the bottom when it comes to retaining or attracting corporations with emerging economies in China, India and elsewhere. Trouble is that kind of short-term thinking will mean fewer dollars to education, research and development, and other aspects that give western nations a competitive advantage on higher-end jobs. Another solution is the much-discussed changes to the retirement age, from 65 to 67. That seems an unpopular option, but one the

federal Conservatives appear willing to stick to. A third option is to increase immigration. Far right talk radio hosts complain bitterly that the bulk of today’s immigrants come from cultures with few similarities to “traditional values� held in Canada. Notably those from Muslim nations. If this is a problem, though we don’t see any proof of assimilation not working in our multicultural country, then it could be solved on its own in the coming years. As European economies such as Greece’s collapse, expect more emigrants heading this way. However, attracting immigrants from every region of the world to rural communities such as Arnprior and Renfrew instead of the cities is a significant problem. And it is one politicians at every level seem unwilling or unable to address. That’s because politicians in a democracy are focused on managing short-term problems. Finding an answer to increasing geriatric costs

as tax revenue from fewer workers declines is too incremental. But it is coming. Immigration, meaning attracting young families with high-skilled parents, has to be part of the solution at both the national and local level. Arnprior is lauded for increasing its population by double the national level. But are those new residents young families or retired couples? Chances are the latter. That won’t help keep schools open. It won’t increase government revenue. It will add pressure to the hospital, along with a litany of other difficulties. Renfrew’s population is lagging, in large part due to plant closures. Families have left, meaning the schools can’t offer the same level of programming, among many other issues. It becomes a downward spiral; though some are

certain when the highway expansion hits the town things will look up. All too often when these conversations are broached they digress into intergenerational or inter-cultural bickering. The older generation says it has paid into the tax base and deserves to reap the rewards. The younger generation says it is entitled to a big house and more, regardless of personal and collective debt. The culture clashes can be even more insidious, though again Canada appears relatively immune to the clashes seen in England, Denmark and other western nations. This kind of wrangling does nothing to solve the looming population crisis. Only by seeing the challenge objectively, outside of the narrow self-interest of age and culture, will the answers come. Only by seeing it as Canadians can we hope to improve the lives of all.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Time to take advantage of Arnprior’s fast-growing population To the Editor: Not only is the Town of Arnprior number one in population growth within all of Renfrew County, but we are growing three times faster than Renfrew, Pembroke and even Carleton Place. More than double the national average and almost double the provincial average. Statistics Canada shows Arnprior growing at a rate of 2.68% annually over the past five years. This growth rate actually puts our population around 8,331 this May in Arnprior and Renfrew at 8,295. With several hundred new homes already approved prior to 2012, the population of Arnprior will continue to accelerate due to a number of other factors in our favour. Six new bridges and two currently under a total retrofit making the extension of 417 complete through Arnprior this fall. A $12-million retrofit to our local hospital completed last year. A much needed multimillion dollar upgrade to our water and waste water plants, that have increased our town’s capacity to expand for many years to come. Airport expansion and runway upgrades last year. Manufacturing or retail space is readily available, at very affordable rates. Pre-approved zoning for large box stores at the edge of our airport and new four-lane highway. Our close proximity to Canada’s sixth largest city and the large move of the Department of National Defences’ headquarters to Kanata will add to our growing population. Even our town is collecting $14 million in annual taxes

compared to just $10 million, six short years ago. Our town population is breaking all records in Renfrew County and surrounding areas, but where is the prosperity to go along with it? Hindsight does bring a cold reality with it and turning down and delaying so many multimillion dollar investments to our town over the past few years, combined with a tough economy, still has approximately two million retail dollars leaving our town every week. The experts did warn us two years ago and it would be a tough fight to bring back those retail dollars and lost jobs. We can accelerate our prosperity if we have the political will to promote our town and start saying yes to investors when they come knocking on our door. Not hard to promote our town that has so much to offer with our many schools, several parks, waterways, marina, three beaches, walking trails, three local golf courses, sports facilities that include two hockey rinks, an indoor pool and dozens of community and church groups just to name a few reasons to live, work and play in Arnprior. Our biggest asset is the people of Arnprior and new manufacturers, tourism industries and new retailers should take notice of our growing town today before other investors find us first. So don’t be shy and mail off this article to any new company you would like to see move into Arnprior. Even one letter can make a difference. Doug Smith Arnprior

OPINION

Your Community Newspaper

Algonquin Provincial Park’s very own East Side Story Side is very different from the West Side, which is hilly with hardwood forests covering the slopes. The East Side is smothered with pines, the difference in dominant forest largely due to the park’s geological past. The West Side received moisture-trapping till when the glaciers melted while the eastern region, which receives less precipitation because of a slight rain-shadow effect, were laden with sand plains deposited by a massive glacial river.

The result is a very different forest across the Park. Both regions of Algonquin, however, display a fringe of spruce, fir, and tamarack around low-lying wetlands. Coniferous forests can be alive with seed-eating finches if the cone crop is good. Red Crossbills love White Pine seeds while White-winged Crossbills prefer the seeds inside the smaller cones borne by spruces. As reasonable numbers of White-winged Crossbills have been reported on the West

Side this winter, our group had expectations that both species would be in abundance on the East Side. Our first stop was beside a Tamarack-Black Spruce peatland near McManus Lake. After a bit of bird calling, several Gray Jays and two Black-backed Woodpeckers came in, providing everyone with fine views. However, all finches declined the invitation to make an appearance. Next, we walked the Barron Canyon Trail. For those who have never been to the canyon, it

as we saw them, so no good views were enjoyed. Eventually another flock of redpolls was found feeding on Tamarack seeds, but they also flew away as soon as we spotted them. By day’s end, no other finches and no Red Crossbills had been found, the paucity of cones on the White Pines undoubtedly the reason for the latter. As the sun vanished for the day, we worked our way back out of the Park, stopping to “squeak� for predatory animals at every pond. At one of them, a Red Fox came bounding across the ice, providing us with another unforgettable memory from the East Side of Algonquin. The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

To the editor: Arnprior is a happening place when it comes to natural heritage. Last year a Barred Owl successfully nested in Gillies Grove, producing at least one young. This morning we photographed this Barred in the Grove after crows brought it to our attention. We are very fortunate to have such wildlife in town. Who is responsible for ensuring the long-term ecological function and biodiversity of natural heritage systems such as Gillies Grove and its surroundings? Interestingly, this responsibility falls in the “shoulders� of Arnprior Council’s Economic Development and Planning Advisory Committee, chaired by Mayor David Reid; Robin Smith, town planner; Erin Clarke, (former) economic development officer Gib McMullen, Chamber of Commence; as well as Jim Silye and Jeremy Hutchinson. This committee has the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement and the Town of Arnprior’s official plan to guide them in making decisions on development, such that there will be no negative impacts on the features and functions of natural heritage and cultural heritage of designated Natural Heritage area Gillies Grove/ Vydon wet creek habitat. This committee has a difficult task to ensure the “wise use and management of resources (OP),� and ensuring there are no negative impacts on these designated areas.

is one of the natural wonders of eastern Ontario. The towering cliffs that arise from either side of the narrow Barron River inspire awe in all seasons. On our outing, warm updrafts from the canyon inspired Common Ravens to soar overhead. Jon Ruddy, a Carleton undergraduate with exceptional birding skills, spotted a Northern Shrike flying up the canyon and later relocated it perched atop a pine tree a good kilometre away on the far side. As we finished the trail, we finally encountered a group of finches, mostly Common Redpolls with a few Pine Siskins and three White-winged Crossbills. The birds flew away as soon

People may have wondered what was going on outside the building of local company Nu-Tech Precision Metals as most of their workforce was seen walking around the block. Luckily it wasn’t due to contract issues, but a way to take advantage of the mild weather and promote a healthy lifestyle. On Feb. 15 the company gave an extra half hour for lunch to their employees if they participated in the walk. This was just another way the Nu-Tech has tried to be creative in boosting employee morale. In addition to providing weekly fruit platters to their employees during the month of January the company has also sponsored a lunch time euchre tournament with the winner earning an extra day off from work.

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Dugald Jamieson of Renfrew was sentenced Tuesday morning to 12 years in prison for the killing of girlfriend Carol-Anne Brunet in her Hall Avenue, Renfrew apartment in May 2010. The Crown, under the direction of Assistant Crown Attorney Peter Hageraats, had requested 12 to 15 years. The co-defence counsel of Richard Morris and Victoria Legris had asked for seven. “I just want to say that justice was served for my mom,” said daughter Stephanie Brunet of Renfrew following the sentencing. Jamieson, now 49, originally faced first-degree murder charges, but that was later reduced to second-degree. He also faced a charge for breach of probation. After pleading guilty in January 2012 to manslaughter charges in the death of Brunet, 54, Jamieson faced a two-day sentencing hearing before Justice Timothy Ray in Pembroke Superior Court last week. In his 11-page decision, Justice Ray outlined the medical background, provided by pathologist Dr. Christopher Milroy in testimony last week. Justice Ray also noted he didn’t think Dr. Milroy was qualified to say that a responsible adult would have known there was a wound that required medical attention. In last week’s testimony Dr. Milroy said Brunet died of peritonitis, from which people don’t normally die because they seek medical attention. Brunet’s friends did not seek medical help until it was too late. Shortly after midnight on May 30, a friend called 9-1-1, but paramedics who arrived at her apartment could find no vital signs. Brunet was declared dead the early morning of May 31 at Renfrew Victoria Hospital. Justice Ray pointed out aggravating factors that led to his decision. These, he said, included the facts that Jamieson, after stabbing Brunet with a kitchen knife, told her to clean up the blood, and over the next 24 hours failed to call an ambulance or seek medical help while her condition deteriorated. The justice indicated Jamieson “was motivated more by concern with the consequences

of being found in breach of his probation order than he was in getting medical help for Ms. Brunet.” Nearly half-way through his decision, Justice Ray noted Jamieson had a lengthy record that included 23 convictions since 1982. These were for either drinking and driving, mischief, break-and-enter, trafficking, assault with a weapon, uttering threats and four breaches of probation. Two of those charges, noted Justice Ray, were for assaulting domestic partners, once Brunet and once a previous partner. The two charges resulted in total jail time of 234 days. In reaching his decision, Justice Ray said he gave no weight to the uncomplimentary remarks made in the victim-impact statements. He did note that the statements described Brunet as a loving and caring person. Justice Ray said it was a mitigating factor in Jamieson’s favour that he pleaded guilty to manslaughter, thereby bringing “closure for the family at an earlier stage and avoid putting the family through the pain and anguish of a trial.” However, he said use of a weapon, spousal violence and committing manslaughter while in breach of a probation order were aggravating circumstances. He reserved his strongest language for late in his decision when he referred to spousal violence as “abhorrent.” “Domestic violence,” he said, “will not be tolerated by our society. The courts are expected to deal severely with offenders who repeatedly breach court orders, and those who persist in perpetrating domestic violence. Mr. Jamieson falls squarely into both categories. “The unlawful taking of another life as Mr. Jamieson did, is the most serious of crimes.” A few minutes after hearing the sentence, Carol-Anne Brunet’s sister, Debbie Davidson, said in a somber tone, “I would have liked to see him (Jamieson) get more, but 12 (years) is great.” Calling the whole experience of dealing with his sister’s death “sickening,” she added, “I’m glad it’s over.” Defence is undecided, this week, if it will appeal the length of the sentence.

Nocturnal walkers urged to wear easy-to-see clothes did not detect any signs of alcohol consumption and reported he was extremely apologetic for scaring the walker. However, he explained that he only spotted the walker and his dog at the last minute because of the dark clothing and that he did not believe any contact was made as he drove by. In addition, because of the engine noise and the noise damping effect of the helmet, it is highly plausible the snowmobiler would have missed the walker outburst as he drove by, note police. They suggest people take the necessary steps to being seen by wearing reflective clothing.

EMC Sports – Arnprior District High School snowboarders struck gold at Camp Fortune last Friday. The ADHS girls combined snowboard team had the fastest combined times of the day to win gold against all the other top racers in eastern Ontario. The ADHS boy’s snowboard team won a bronze at the Eastern Ontario Championships (EOSAA). Chanelle Fortin had another fine day on the hill, coming home with the individual gold medal, while teammate Amanda Milne took the silver. The conditions on the hill were good while the course itself was both fast and challenging on the Slalom hill. Boarders each had two runs on the hill. ADHS’s gold-medal combined snowboard team is composed of Fortin, Milne, Sadie Riopelle and Amy Furgoch. The girls now head to the Ontario Championships (OFSSA) March 4 at Mansfield close to Collingwood. Joining them are the boy’s team consisting of Michael Smith, Derek Gray, Jason Green, Zach Barr and Reid Wensley. The ADHS snowboarders and skiers geared up for the championships with a Redmen Invitational Race at Pakenham, followed by the Upper Ottawa Valley races at Calabogie Peaks on Feb. 10. Fortin, who was an Ontario snowboard silver medalist last year, won both races for ADHS. At Calabogie, Fortin was exceptionally fast in her first run beating the times of all the girls and all but one boy. Despite a slip on the upper steep part of the challenging course in her second run, Fortin still managed to win gold for the combined title. The combined girls snowboard team from Arnprior also won gold and the boys snowboard team a bronze at the Upper Ottawa Valley races. Meanwhile, the ADHS alpine boys and girls ski teams both finished second in the Upper Ottawa Valley races at Calabogie Peaks Feb. 10. ADHS came a close second to RCI in the females races and finished ahead of RCI but behind Fellowes in the male contests. Leading the way for the ADHS girls were Maureen Freemark and Emma Baird, with Nicole Cavanaugh and Kathleen Griffith also finishing in the top 12. Also competing were Kelsey Brown and Maria Georgiades. Nick Headrick has the best run for the ADHS boys. Also in the top 12 were Mackenzie Bourgoin, Tristan Hadley and Justin Cameron. Also racing for ADHS were Hugh Colbert, Alex Brittle, Andrew Rueckwald and Liam Cameron.

Packers strike first in playoff series with Renfrew By JOHN CARTER

john.carter@metroland.com

EMC Sports - The Arnprior Packers won the opener of their best-of-seven playoff series with Renfrew Tuesday, but as their coach predicted, it wasn’t easy. The Packers outshot the Wolves 55-34, but it took a goal by Parker Davies at 4:03 of the second overtime stanza to give Arnprior the win. Renfrew goalie Richard Barr, who played a key role in Renfrew’s upset wins over Perth and Arnprior in last year’s playoffs, almost stole the win, and home ice advantage, for the Wolves. The teams were scheduled to square off again in game two of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Valley Division semi-final Wednesday in Renfrew (after press deadline), with game three set for 8 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 24 at the Nick Smith Centre. In an interview prior to Tuesday’s opener, Arnprior head coach Bill Griese predicted a close series and urged Packer fans

to show up in force to cheer on their team. While pleased with his squad’s dominant regular season that saw them win the division by 20 points over Perth while only losing seven games, he said there was no danger of his players becoming complacent. “The kids have a lot a pride,� he said, adding that many Packer players remember well the loss to Renfrew last year. As well, Arnprior had its roster finalized earlier than the other teams and as a result rolled over opposition for a time, he explained. However, the games became much closer later in the season, he noted. Griese pointed out that Renfrew ended strongly, as it did last year, so a seven-game series is a distinct possibility. “It would be foolish not to (plan for a seven-game series),� he said. Tuesday’s gut-wrenching encounter in the opener backed up the coach’s comments. Arnprior fell behind twice in the first period, as Jordan Dempster and Jesse Riopelle sandwiched a goal by Packer scoring ace Taylor Collins. Arnprior rallied with goals 14 seconds apart by Derek Lowry and Mitch Parker early in the second, but Brady Clouthier pulled Renfrew even mid-way through the stanza. The two teams then played scoreless hockey for three and a half periods before Derrin Lehoux and Collins set up Davies for the winner. The Packers could have put away the game early, but only scored once in 14 power-play opportunities. On the plus side, they blanked the Wolves on their nine power-plays. Matt Couvrette made 31 saves in the Arnprior goal. Griese said the Packers held a team meeting Sunday to talk about what is needed to win the series. As usual, goaltending will be crucial, he said. Maturity is also important, he added. “I think our biggest issue will be discipline.� If his players keep their cool, keep their game simple and keep firing shoots at the opposition’s net, “we should be fine,� he said. The trade for Derek Lowry, who led the Valley Division with 41 goals, has helped take the pressure off Taylor Collins, said Griese. As the two players are normally on different lines, it makes it difficult for opposing teams to key on one line. Griese said the Packers go into the series with four players on the shelf. The team will miss left win Ryan Patrick, who has an ankle injury, as he is the type of strong forechecker needed against Renfrew, he said. Scoring winger Dan Weir has a should injury that will keep him out of action for a couple more weeks. Also missing are winger Kyle Daniels and centre Steven Cooney. The Packers wound up their season with two make-up games with second-place Perth. The two teams tied 1-1 last Wednesday in Arnprior, while the Packers held on for a 6-4 win last Friday

Arnprior Packers wrapped up one of the most successful regular seasons in their history last Friday with a 6-4 win over Perth Blue Wings. If the regular season means anything, the two top teams in the Valley Division could meet in the finals. However, both teams are taking nothing for granted, as upsets have been common in past years. in Perth. Cody Janes had the winning goal in that contest. The other semi-final sees Perth play the Almonte Thunder. That series begins this Friday with games also scheduled for Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Remaining games in the Arnprior-Renfrew series are: • Game 3: Friday, Feb. 24 at Arnprior – 8 p.m.; • Game 4: Sunday, Feb. 26 at Renfrew – 7 p.m.; • Game 5: Wednesday, Feb. 29 at Arnprior – 8 p.m., if necessary; • Game 6: Friday, March 2 at Renfrew – 8 p.m., if necessary; • Game 7: Sunday, March 4 at Arnprior – 7.30 p.m., if necessary.

The decibel level was at a record high last Thursday afternoon in the gym at Arnprior District High School as two ADHS basketball teams claimed county championships. Both the ADHS senior and junior boys basketball squads were successful over rival Renfrew area teams. The seniors faced Renfrew Collegiate Institute in the first game of the afternoon and came through in the end by a convincing final score of 8356 RCI jumped out to a quick 8-0 start, but the Redmen, who went through the regular season undefeated, didn’t panic and responded with nine points of their own. Renfrew led 18-13 after one quarter but one of its key players was in foul trouble with three fouls. Both teams had trouble sinking baskets, but ADHS got stronger as the game went on and took a 31-26 lead to the locker room at halftime. The Redman came out firing in the second half and used slick passing, great outside shooting and a suffocating defense to outscore RCI 28-8 in the third quarter to take control of the game. Arnprior’s superior bench strength paid off as the team’s scoring was spread between several players. Mike Shoveller had 20 points, Jaegar Prot 14, Cody Moore 13, Jeff Campbell 11, Andrew MacAulay 10, and Connor Schriver eight. Jaegar Prot also did an exceptional job hounding Renfrew’s top sniper all game long.

Fellowes beat St. Joseph’s and RCI in the junior playoffs. The Senior Redmen, who finished the regular season 6-3, edged RCI 3-2 and lost to undefeated Fellowes 3-0 in round-robin play, good enough to qualify for a semi-final berth. The Redmen earned an impressive 3-0 win over Bishop Smith to earn the rematch with Fellowes.

Eaton’s catalogue a source of excitement, many uses EMC Lifestyle - “Any day now,” Audrey said, peeking into the mail box at the end of our long winding lane. For days, walking home from the Northcote School, with anticipation, Audrey checked the mailbox. It was yet to appear. “What’s taking it so long?” I wanted to know. “Don’t be so impatient. It will be here in its own good time.” What we were waiting for, was the new issue of Eaton’s Catalogue. As regular as clock work, and as the seasons changed, we could count on it arriving by mail. The last copy was thickened from constant page turning, and it would await its next fate as soon as the

newest edition came into the house. Finally, it was there. Crammed into the tin mail box. Audrey and I ran all the way home through hardened snow, through the bush, never stopping until we reached the kitchen door. My sister wouldn’t let me carry it ... not even for a few feet, in case I dropped it, and got it wet. Mother was as excited as we were, and even though she was preparing supper, she stopped long enough to take a look at the cover, and ordered us to wash our hands before we got down to the real job of looking it over. “Just put it over there on the top of the ice box until you have redded up the kitchen,” she said.

Mary Cook’s Memories BY MARY COOK

Supper was a hurried meal that night. After all, great things loomed ahead! And Audrey and I had the kitchen redded up in jig time, with the oil cloth covered table wiped , and then dried with a clean flour bag tea towel to make sure it was perfectly dry. After all, it would never do to get a spot on the catalogue when it was this new! The coal oil lamp was lit and moved to the centre of the table, and Audrey and I took our places on the long

bench against the back wall. Audrey always appointed herself the page-turner. She accused me of crimping the corners, and goodness knows, the catalogue had to serve us until the next one came out months later. PAGE TURNER My sister and I had this game we played with Eaton’s catalogue. We could each pick one thing off each page, and we took turns picking first, allowing ourselves only 10 pages a night. If Audrey hadn’t put a limit on our pastime, we would have gone through the entire catalogue in less than a week. And so we started at the

women’s fashions, and even though there wasn’t a hope in Hades of our ever having one item we picked, we scanned each page as if our choice was a matter of life and death. It was amazing how we could spend the best part of an entire evening just going through those 10 pages and making our choices. And then Audrey would take the 12-inch ruler and tuck it into the page we had left off, close the catalogue and either pass it over to Mother or gently put it up on top of the ice box until the next night. The brothers were never too interested in the new catalogue. Neither was Father. Father said anything he needed he could get either at Briscoe’s General Store or at Thacker’s garage. As soon as we were positive the old catalogue held no more interest, it served another purpose. Father would drive a spike

through the upper left corner making a hole large enough to work through a good length of binder twine. It was then taken out to the outhouse and hung on a nail just inside the door, and used for toilet paper. The old catalogue, by then with most of its pages ripped out, would be stuffed into the Findlay Oval with the morning kindling. And so we always had two Eaton’s catalogues in use on the farm. One served the purpose of giving my sister Audrey and me hours of evening enjoyment...when we could pick wonderful fashions, the latest style shoes, and beautiful materials, realizing of course, none of it would ever find its way out to our farm in Northcote. But the joy was in the choosing. And the old catalogue, long before recycling was ever thought of, served us well in the outhouse. My sister Audrey often said she thought she should write a letter to Mr. Eaton and tell him how much pleasure we got from his catalogue, and the good use the past issues were put to. Mother voted against the idea, saying she doubted Mr. Eaton could ever conjure up a mental picture of his catalogue hanging from a spike in some back house out in Renfrew County.

Cinnamon raisin baguettes that start in a bread machine EMC Lifestyle – Have you ever bought a cookbook for bread machines, you’ll know that there are lots of recipes that don’t use the machine for the whole bread-making process. While they start in the machine, once the dough is ready, it’s taken out of the machine, shaped, then baked in the oven. These are the recipes that are fun to make. If you’ve never worked with dough before, the baguette is a great way to start. This simple shaped loaf is really just a long, thin version of French bread. All you have to do once you take the dough out of the bread machine is roll it, let it rise, then bake it. This recipe for cinnamon raisin baguettes is easy to make. The finished loaves have the chewy texture of a French loaf with the wonderful flavor of cinnamon and raisins. The recipe makes two loaves, and you can freeze one. CINNAMON RAISIN BAGUETTES

1 cup water 1 tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt

Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

3/4 tsp. cinnamon 2 3/4 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast 3/4 cup raisins 1 egg yolk 2 tbsp. water Place the water, sugar, salt, cinnamon, flour and yeast in the bread machine in the order given. It’s important that the cinnamon doesn’t touch the yeast, because it can prevent the yeast from working properly. Start the bread machine on the Dough Cycle. Add the raisins when the machine beeps for the addition of ingredients, or during the second kneading if your machine has no indicator. When the dough cycle has finished, turn it out on a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough down, and cut it into 2 pieces. Set one portion aside. Take the other portion, and

roll it back and forth on a lightly-floured surface, shaping it into a loaf about 12� long and about 2� high. Try to keep it the same thickness throughout. Set this loaf on a greased baking sheet, leaving room beside it for the next one. With a sharp knife, make 3 to 4 diagonal cuts in the top of the loaf about 1/4� deep. Repeat the shaping and cutting with the second portion of dough, then set it on the baking sheet too. Cover the loaves with a damp tea towel, and let them rise for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in height. Once the dough has risen, remove the cloth. Stir the egg yolk and water in a small cup, mixing them well, then brush each loaf with this egg glaze. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm, or cool on a rack before freezing. Makes two loaves.

Business celebrates grand opening at Arnprior’s high school DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

success, the one challenge facing the Redmen Hut is that it is on the second floor at the extreme back end of the school. Manager Jordan Flick and employee Jamie Bentz laughed that advertising will have to play a role. The two were behind the counter during Tuesday’s grand opening, luring customers – “That’s a fine shirt,� Flick said to one – while answering questions from tech students gathered with a TV camera. Flick’s pitch is that students who run out of pens or other supplies need not be forced to walk uptown. They can come to the Hut on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. “Our prices are very competitive, and we’re not going to jack them up,� Flick said. “Customer satisfaction is what we’re

EMC Lifestyle – A new business employing about 100 workers opened in town on Feb. 21. The catch is that the employees are paid in grades and the store is located in the Arnprior District High School (ADHS). The Redmen Hut - a store selling school supplies and spirit noisemakers – is located in a renovated display case, and operated by business teacher Jim Anas’ junior and senior students. “It’s about getting hands-on experience running a business,� Anas said. “And it teaches them the day-to-day operations of business responsibility, time management, scheduling, payroll, inventory, accounting, marketing, everything.� While Anas stresses to his students that location is key to

after.� Another selling point is that a portion of sales from the business students’ activities will go the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital’s mammography campaign. But even more important, for Flick, is to let students know that the Redmen Hut is their store, a business to be proud of. Anas explained that the unusual name comes from a logo drawn by business student Joel Woodhouse. The idea grew from that original picture of a hut. Flick already has her sights set on another business. She is opening Rock Star Birthday Parties. It’ll let people live the rock’n’roll lifestyle on their special day. The gig will be set up at Soundcheck Rehearsal Studios in Ottawa.

Jordan Flick is interviewed by tech students on the opening of the Redmen Hut, a supplies store located in the business students’ area of Arnprior District High School.

Heart Month was inspired by a fundraising initiative called “Heart Sunday.� The concept was adopted in British Columbia in the mid-1950s; in Ontario in 1958, and has since expanded across the country. Volunteers With Heart Today Heart Month is a much broader campaign that mobilizes Canadians to rally together in raising awareness and funds that have an enormous impact on the lives of not just heart and

stroke patients, but all Canadians. Through the generosity and compassion of volunteers, the Heart and Stroke Foundation has been able to fund critical life-giving research, education and advocacy programs that help save lives.

Senators goaltender unmasks his personal style By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Goaltenders, it’s often been said, are a different breed. Nowhere is that more obvious than in the piece of gear that always seems to draw the most attention. The mask every netminder wears isn’t just a necessary piece of facial protection. Rather, it offers up a canvas for personal expression, one that can take many unique forms. “It’s one of the few positions where you can express yourself and who you are,” said Senators goaltender Craig Anderson, who displays a team and personal touch with his masks. “It try to keep it 50-50. One side is team oriented, the other side is what sets me apart.” Anderson turned heads this season by breaking out a heritagethemed mask that pays tribute to Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender Clint Benedict, who backstopped the original Senators to three Stanley Cups in the 1920s. He uses it on nights when the team wears its ‘O’ styled heritage jerseys. But the 30-year-old native of Park Ridge, Ill., doesn’t just let his masks do the talking. His standout play since Christmas has elevated the Senators into the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff chase. Score sat down with Anderson to unmask a few truths, so to speak, about the Senators stopper: Q: Have you ever gone through four masks in a season before? A: One was from last year, so I started out with that. Then I got a new but it broke and we replaced it, and I also have the heritage one. So we have an extra one

character he wants on it. I like to give the artist an open slate. Q: What do you do with your old masks? A: I have almost all of them except the ones that were broken

— those go back to the mask builder. The rest of them, I’ve got in storage somewhere, between my house and my parents’ house and whatnot. Eventually, I’ll have a display case with them all.

Craig Anderson pays homage to the Ottawa Senators’ 20th anniversary season by wearing a retro-style goaltending mask whenever the team wears its heritage jerseys (Photo by Andre Ringuette/NHLI via Getty Images). thrown in there because of (the break). This one is feeling really good, the fit and finish is really good and I feel really good in it. Q: Are there any common themes you like to keep on all your masks? A: The common theme right now is the Corvette. It’s America’s sports car and it’s my way of paying tribute to what I like doing. I like playing with cars in the off-season and being an American. The other side has something to do with the team, like the Sens logo. I also have the Corvette Racing logo on the back, with my number and name (Andy). Other than that, it’s pretty much free rein for the

painter. Q: How did you and your mask designer (Detroit-based John Pepe of Pepe Custom Paint) first meet? A: The guy that builds my masks (Bob Dillon of Dillon’s Custom Goalie Mask) is out of Virginia — I met him when I played in the minors with Norfolk. He gave me a custom fit and I’ve been using his masks ever since. The customer service has been top notch and the mask feels really good when I get hit in the head. There’s no ringing, there’s no repercussions from getting hit in the head like I had with my old masks. The painter is his guy that he’s used for a long

time. Q: How do you and your painter collaborate on the final product? A: It’s more or less just one phone conversation. After that, it’s just little messages here and there by e-mail. My theme hasn’t really changed over the last few years, so it’s pretty much free rein for him to put whatever kind of

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

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

NY ISLANDERS

Sunday, Feb. 26, 5 p.m., Sportsnet East The Islanders are beginning to make more noise in the Eastern Conference, pushing toward the fringe of playoff contention in recent weeks. It’s no surprise the team’s rise is accompanied by that of John Tavares toward elite player status in the NHL. The former No. 1 overall pick heads up a dangerous attack that also gets top goal production from the likes of Matt Moulson,P.A. Parenteau,

Kyle Okposo and Michael Grabner, a Calder Trophy finalist a year ago. Adding an assist in that area from the back end is Mark Streit. In goal, the Isles rely most heavily on the duo of Evgeni Nabokov and Al Montoya.

Eco-team students at A.J. Charbonneau show off their new stainless steel water bottles with teacher Karin Haelssig, left, Metro’s Rick Horne, and principal Angie McGrath last week. The bottles are meant to displace plastic water bottles, juice boxes and other difficult-to-recycle containers, thereby reducing the school’s carbon footprint.

EMC Lifestyle – A.J. Charbonneau Public School students and staff lightened their carbon footprint last week when disposable plastic bottles were replaced with stainless steel reusable ones. The initiative was led by teacher and ecoteam committee chairwoman Karin Haelssig and her Grade 2 and 3 students. “Currently, A.J. Charbonneau generates about six large garbage bags on a regular school day, which amounts to more than 1,200 large bags from September to June,” Haelssig said in a letter to parents. “Our goal is to reduce this by at least two bags a day.” She said several “waste audits” found that

clear – though some companies simply use municipal water – but public water is tested regularly. “(People) think it (bottled water) is cleaner, but it’s not as regulated,” Haelssig said.

many students either throw recyclables such as juice boxes and plastic water bottles into the garbage can or do not rinse and recycle them properly, so they have to be thrown out, which adds significantly to the total garbage output. The new water bottles for 320 students and staff were purchased with a $1,000 grant from Metro. Store manager Rick Horne said the grocery chain is committed to helping the environment wherever it can. “A while ago we went to selling reusable bags, too,” he noted. Along with the environmental damage caused by transporting bottled water, there is the undermining of municipal water supplies. The ingredients of bottled water aren’t always

ontrac marks 13 years of serving clients in Arnprior area EMC News - The ontrac Employment Resource Centre is celebrating its 13th year in providing employment services in Arnprior and area. On Feb. 15, to celebrate the occasion, ontrac invited past, present and future clients, employers, community partners and government officials to attend its open house. Bert Morrow, executive director of ontrac, as well as president of Intravision Ontario, welcomed those in attendance, guest speakers and staff and introduced Karen Prince, an employment training consultant with the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities in Renfrew, as well as his wife, Brenda Morrow, a director of Intravision. In a brief overview of the history of ontrac, Morrow explained that in 1999, Service Canada identified a need for employment services in Arnprior and area. In January 2000, Intravision hired two employees and shared space with the Boeing Action Centre, to provide employment services to displaced workers. Six months later ontrac moved to its new premises at 39 Winners Circle and in April 2005 relocated to its present space at the Kenwood Corporate Centre. Since 2000, ontrac staff has responded to the employment needs of Arnprior and area individuals. This included workers downsized from high-tech sector in Ottawa, as well as laid-off workers and plant closures in local manufacturing. Morrow reported that since January 2000, there have been more than 9,500 new client registrations at ontrac and over 25,000 client visits to the ontrac Resource Centre. ontrac now has staff of eight employees, including the original two that began in 2000. In 2010, ontrac was selected by Employment Ontario/Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to deliver the ‘full suite’ of employment services as part of the Employment Service Employment Ontario Network. As an Employment Ontario program, ontrac is funded in

Photo courtesy ontrac part by the federal government and delivered by Intravision Ontario. Morrow introduced guest speakers that included: Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski congratulated ontrac for delivering one-stop free employment services in the community, providing worker and employer clients with the information they need when they need it, on government and community programs and services. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant was unable to attend, but she provided a letter read by ontrac’s program co-ordinator Jeanne St. Louis congratulating ontrac for providing 13 years of exceptional service to the Arnprior and area community. Arnprior Mayor David Reid recognized ontrac for the important contribution to area employers and laid-off workers, as well as providing local accessibility for employment services in Arnprior and surrounding area.

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell shared that she herself has had six careers in her employment journey, representing today’s changing world of work. She highlighted the importance of retraining and job seeker awareness of transferable skills. She also praised ontrac’s assistance to local area employers for job-matching and placement and community capacity building. Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon stressed the importance of support for those persons who experience job loss and the value of career and employment counselling in developing alternatives to assist them to get back ‘ontrac’ in the job market. Jean Huard, a service delivery manager for the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities in Ottawa, read a letter of congratulations to ontrac from Glen Murray, Minister, Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities, as part of the Employment Ontario Employment Service Network providing quality employ-

Salter, William Silas

It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of our dear brother David (Ernie to many) on January 25, 2012. He was Bill (William S.) Salter’s chosen partner for over 36 years. Until his retirement, Ernie worked for almost 25 years at Island Lodge in Ottawa, caring for the elderly.

With great sadness our family announces Bill’s passing on Thursday, February 2, 2012.

A Memorial Service will be held for both Bill and David at a later date, when the weather is warm, the birds are singing, and the sun is shining.

LARGE SELECTION OF QUALITY FURNITURE

David loved to collect. He had an enormous collection of figurines that he was always changing. For a few years he collected the little Chinese pottery horses. Then Chinese Buddha figures. He collected little blown glass ornaments, paperweights, handmade trinket boxes, Bunnykins dinnerware, porcelain rabbits, miniatures of any sort (tea sets, animals, dishes), unusual cards that he loved to frame, miniature pictures, miniature vases, crosses and crucifixes, books. It is so difficult to remember all of them. If Bill liked something, David would scour the second hand stores trying to complete his collections for him.

Known for his involvement with the Art Communities in both Ottawa and Edmonton , Bill was an accomplished Canadian Artist. He tried, and was successful at, just about any form of artistic expression one could imagine - wood carving, weaving, macramé, pottery, pen and ink sketches, oil paintings, watercolours - the list goes on. He loved gardening and any place that he moved to he always managed to have a beautifully “klutzy” flower garden, with rocks and ornaments strategically placed. Two little Bonsais attest to his patience with plants. His inborn sense of form and beauty was most obvious in his landscaping. This was a wonder to behold, with the lovely arrangement of colours and types of plants that, to him, was a “no-brainer”. A place for everything and everything in it’s place: it just seemed to be natural to him.

In 1965, Bill earned a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Alberta . A Masters Degree in Geography followed in 1968, and he worked 2 more years on a Doctorate when he decided to chuck it in and become, what he called, a full time “starving artist”. Bill was pre-deceased by his partner of 36 years, David (Ernest Squires). Their beloved (and pampered) pet dog Rusty still remains. His Dad, Lt.Col.W.H. (Bill) Salter passed away in 2005. Bill’s Mom, Elsie Salter, lives in Richmond as well as his sister Bev. His other two sisters, Diane and Marilyn, as well as two brothers, Ted and Kim, live in Alberta . He leaves numerous nieces and nephews and multitudes of friends to mourn his loss. A Memorial Service for both Bill and David will come at a later date, when the weather is warm, the birds are singing, and the sun is shining. Should you so wish, in lieu of flowers to the family, donations may be made to your local Humane Society, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or a charity of your choice.

POWER, Catherine Mom Eleanor Ann Ryan February 21, 1936 – February 16, 2007 The day you left us broke our hearts, to see our best friend die. To never see your lovely face, to this day makes us cry. If only we had one more chance to see you standing there, We all would hug and kiss you to show how much we care. Five years ago you left us, a day we’ll not forget. To see our brother Terry in a place we’ve not seen yet. Memories last forever and your memories in our heart, It will always be a happy one, which will never, never part.

MR. & MRS. MATTHEW WILSON Together with family and friends on Saturday August 13, 2011, Tanya Fobear and Matthew Wilson shared in the joy and celebration of their marriage at the SouthShore Center in Barrie, Ontario. The lovely bride was escourted down the aisle by her father and mother. Following the ceremony, everyone enjoyed cocktails and hor d’oeurves on the patio overlooking Lake Simcoe. A fun filled evening of dining and dancing followed. A sincere thanks to all our family and friends who made this day so special and memories that will last a lifetime. The newlyweds honeymooned in Honolulu Hawaii and currently reside in Bradford, ON.

In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother, great grandmother who passed away seven years ago, February 22, 2005. 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, Someday, we know not when, We will meet our loved one there.

The golden gates were open six years ago today, With goodbyes left unspoken You gently passed away. You did not say goodbye to us, Perhaps it was just as well, We never could of said goodbye To one we loved so well. Always in our hearts, Bonnie, Larry, Kevin and Dale

What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven in the lives and hearts of others. Forever loved and missed: Susan, John, Jane, Andrew and Daniel NESBITT, Charlie In memory of our grandfather who passed away February 28, 2003.

Elsworth Thompson

June 1974 – February 1988

In loving memory of a wonderful husband, dad, grandfather, and great grandfather. God called him home and we miss him more than words can say. Always a kind word to brighten your day. He had a quiet, gentle strength that saw him through good and bad times. His faith in God and desire to serve him showed in every part of his life. And because of this we know that we will be together again someday. Remembered and loved always, Grace, Wendy & Don, George & Brenda Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren

If we listen really close, In the silence of the night, We hear your voice comfort us, And say that you’re alright. But it’s often hard to understand, Why certain things must be, And the reasons why they happen Are so often hard to see, But we find comfort in knowledge, That God is always there. To keep the one we loved so much, Forever in his care.

The Family of Tommy Sullivan We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to our friends, family and colleagues who have been such a tremendous strength and support to us as we mourn the loss of an irreplaceable husband, father and grandpa. To the thousands of people who have expressed their well wishes and condolences to our family: you have given us great strength during this difficult time. The stories and memories you have shared with us will forever be treasured.

We would like to commend our sincere appreciation to the most professional, skilled, kind and devoted team of care providers and support staff at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. The hospital was Tom’s pride and joy and the care you provided made him proud and thankful. The love and care you demonstrated as you kept vigil over him during each hospital stay provided us with trust and confidence. Tom appreciated your sense of humour and witty responses to his off-the-cuff remarks that he bounced off you often just to see the reaction he could get (and you always had one)! To Dr. Cathy Greenough, Tom’s ‘special’ daughter and caring doctor: endless thanks for the home visits and for working diligently to do absolutely everything you could to keep Tom in the best possible health. To the staff of Tom’s beloved M Sullivan and Son and RONA: your friendship, support and dedication to Tom will never be forgotten. You really are members of Tom’s extended family. Continue to make him proud. Father Robert Ryan and members of the CWL of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and St. John Chrysostom Parishes: thank you for your endless and fervent prayers and for providing our friends and family with reception after the funeral. To Father Roy Boucher, our family member and friend: your visits to Tom and devotion to prayer with him was a tremendous support and healing in his great time of need. Tom left us all with a great legacy and big shoes to fill. He would be so thankful to each and every one who has provided his treasured family with the love and support you have shown us. Sincerely, Coreen, Sharon, Paddy, Maureen, Rick, Lori and families

Drummond report reaction mixed

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE

No more running from tough decisions: Yakabuski

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

Premier Dalton McGuinty said many of the Drummond report’s 362 recommendations will guide the government as it develops the province’s 2012 budget and makes “long-term, fundamental changes” to the way government delivers services. While the government has indicated it

Carleton-Mississippi Mills Progressive Conservative MPP Jack MacLaren suggests the list of cuts is a start, but the Drummond report could have cut deeper. “It does not throw the baby out with the bathwater, so the speak, but there are certainly a lot of tough decisions and a lot tough goals to meet to eliminate our deficit and start working on our debt ... I think it could have gone a little further,” he said. “We are at a point where we have no choice. We have to face the music and pay the bills,” MacLaren noted. “I like a lot of what is in this report.” However, he expressed surprise Drummond did not suggest a public sector wage freeze, selling the LCBO, cancelling the Green Energy Act and overturning the 30 per cent tuition grant for post secondary education. Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier expressed concern the report failed to identify how the province could encourage job creation. “There are almost 600,000 unemployed people in this province and yet not one recommendation Don Drummond made will put people back to work in this province,” said Hillier. “Drummond refused to acknowledge the giant elephant in this province, the size and cost of government; instead he made recommendations based on the twisted fantasy that for the first time in history, government bureaucracy will and can become efficient.” MUNICIPAL CONCERNS

The Drummond report’s recommendation the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) be reduced from $600 million to $500 million a year has raised alarm bells in municipal circles. So has the suggestion to extend the timeline for uploading $500 million in health and social services costs to 2020 instead of 2018 as planned. County officials indicated the moves could have “serious consequences” for all municipalities and place an extra burden on residential ratepayers. The effect is particularly severe in Renfrew County, because of all the Crown land that municipalities provide services to but don’t get tax revenue from, explained officials. BUSINESS, LABOUR

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) believes the government must seriously consider the Drummond Report’s package of reforms to slay the provincial deficit and keep Ontario competitive, “It advises a fundamental shift in the way Ontario does business, yet offers a pragmatic approach to productivity based on innovation and collaboration,” said Allan O’Dette, president and CEO of the

EDUCATION RESPONSE

Ontario’s professors and academic librarians are charging that Drummond’s recommendations would continue the erosion of educational quality at Ontario’s universities and colleges. Drummond recognizes that higher education is severely underfunded, but he suggests government funding of universities and colleges be limited to 1.5 per cent per year, says the academics in a release. “Ontario’s universities already receive 25 per cent less per-student funding than they did in 1990; Drummond’s recommendations will make this under-funding even worse.” Meanwhile, the directors of Education Equality in Ontario were “in a state of disbelief” that the report doesn’t target the overlap and duplication in the Ontario school system with the parallel public and Catholic offerings. HEALTH RESPONSE

The Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) and Ontario’s hospitals cautiously welcomed the Drummond report’s recognitions that changes to health care spending must bring lasting results and be guided by what is in the very best interest of patients. However, the province’s nurses expressed concern that some proposals, such as tendering specialist services to private entities would lead the province down the for-profit path. The nurses agree with the Drummond report on the need for more home care and community services, but insist the not-for-profit sector should not be favoured in delivering the services. The province’s doctors stressed that it is important to strike the appropriate balance between finding efficiencies and protecting patient care. They said they are pleased to note the report calls for the expansion of family health teams, more out-of-hospital procedures and greater integration of electronic health records.

MACLAREN, HILLER

Ontario Chamber of Commerce Ontario’s business community has been asking the government to get the province’s fiscal house in order by setting out a deficit reduction plan, negotiating a new fiscal deal with the federal government, finding efficiencies in service delivery and managing public sector pay. The report responds to those ideas, while calling on the private sector to play a role of its own, says the chamber. However, labour response wasn’t so positive. Drastic cuts to school support staff, recommended in the Drummond Report, will jeopardize student achievement and threaten student safety, says Fred Hahn, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario. “These are radical reductions that will affect every area of school operations and student learning,” said Hahn. “Cutting more than 10,000 jobs will mean special needs students won’t have access to educational assistants and schools won’t receive the maintenance and cleaning needed to keep them safe and to keep our children healthy,” he added. “The cuts will reduce school supports for children in crisis, cut access to school libraries, mean less supervision to prevent bullying and decrease many important security initiatives created to protect students.”

R0011291191

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has reacted with frustration to the release of the long-awaited Drummond Commission’s report last week. “Dalton McGuinty reminds me of the son inherits the family business and drives it into the ground,” he said. “After eight years this government still has not demonstrated the slightest ability to manage finances prudently.” The Drummond Commission spent the last year reviewing how provincial government services are delivered, with focus being placed on improving efficiency and eliminating duplication. The results of the reviews were released Feb. 15 with a comprehensive plan to return the province to balanced budgets by 2017-18. “The release of the Drummond report confirms what has been obvious for far too long; that years of runaway Liberal spending has created a crisis more severe than anything previously disclosed and will require immediate action to start reversing the damage,” Yakabuski said. He called on the Liberals to stop focusing on polling numbers and to instead concentrate on addressing Ontario’s fiscal situation, to ensure future generations aren’t burdened with massive debt. “We do not have right to saddle children and grandchildren with this mess,” he said. “Yet for months now, the Liberals have refused to level with the people of Ontario. I believe that if we don’t have an honest conversation with the public now, Ontario will fall off a cliff.” Every day’s delay now will only worsen the situation, Yakabuski maintained, saying the task now is to hold the government to account and champion the changes needed to kick-start a provincial recovery and avert Ontario’s bankruptcy. “The time is now for McGuinty to take action and restore some confidence that this government has shaken off its paralysis and will adopt fiscal sanity. To start, he must declare that there will be absolutely no new spending without identifying equivalent savings elsewhere in the budget,” said Yakabuski. He called on the government to adopt the recommendations of the Ontario PC party to impose an immediate public sector wage freeze, put an end to corporate welfare – which, according to the report, shows little evidence “of achieving any economic benefit for Ontario,” and implement pro-growth policies such as apprenticeship reform. Longer term, Yakabuski said, Ontario governments need to return to first principles: spend only what you have; set spending priorities on essential programs and services such as health and education; and exit other areas the government has no business being in. “It’s time to say the things Ontarians need to know – not just what they want to hear: We’re running out of money, and running out of time,” Yakabuski said. “And, as we fight for a smaller, smarter government, we must also grow the private sector economy.

will not embrace all of the report’s findings, particularly the recommendation that all-day Kindergarten be scrapped, it said there will be an elimination or redesign of programs that are no longer serving their intended purpose. The government will use the report to help streamline the public sector and target areas of overlap and duplication in an effort to save taxpayer dollars. However, as was made clear in the mandate given former TD Trust senior vice-president and chief economist Don Drummond that privatization of health care and education was not to be considered.
